Chapter 332: Vice
After the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires added these 24 U.S. Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers, it will have 132 Kitty Hawk-class, 60 Optimus-class, 30 Island-class and 343 Jumbo-class, a total of 565 aircraft carriers in active service.
However, in addition to the Han and Tang Empire itself, the six beast countries and the three elf countries have never figured out how many aircraft carriers the Han and Tang Empire's navy has.
Because the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires has hundreds of military ports, including many naval bases that hang alone on the islands, and many warships of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires are not built in major shipyards, but Zhou Rui opened them from the lottery system, so that none of those beast countries and elf countries can figure out the specific strength of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.
With the addition of 64 U.S. Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers and 64 Russian Glorious-class missile cruisers, the number of these two missile cruisers in the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires reached 328 and 308 respectively.
Together with the Huali-class missile cruisers and Glory-class missile cruisers independently developed and built by the Han and Tang Empires, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires will have more than 1,200 missile cruisers.
The Luxor-class missile cruiser has a full load displacement of 18,360 tons, a maximum speed of 32 knots, two 55 times caliber 130 mm naval guns, two quadruple 450 mm torpedo launchers, which can carry 412 missiles of various kinds, and two anti-submarine helicopters.
The Glory-class missile cruiser has a full load displacement of 35,560 tons, a maximum speed of 32 knots, four 55 times caliber 130 mm naval guns, two quadruple 450 mm torpedo launchers, which can carry 820 missiles of various kinds, and is also equipped with three anti-submarine helicopters.
The two missile cruisers independently developed and built by the Han and Tang Empires are far more equipped with more missiles than the two missile cruisers issued by the lottery system, but the American Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers and the Russian Glorious-class missile cruisers are more excellent in terms of ship electrical weapon systems.
At present, there are a total of 320 Gorgeous-class missile cruisers and 280 Glory-class missile cruisers in the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, and 120 Glory-class missile cruisers are under construction at the same time in the major shipyards of the Han and Tang Empires.
Coupled with the 160 American Burke-class missile destroyers that are about to be extracted by Zhou Rui, the number of missile destroyers in the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires will reach an astonishing 1,080.
In addition to the American Burke-class missile destroyers, the Han and Tang Empires also had an independently developed and built assault gun-class missile destroyer, with a full load displacement of 10,390 tons, a maximum speed of 32 knots, a 55 times caliber 130 mm naval gun, two quadruple 450 mm torpedo launchers, which can carry 96 missiles of various kinds, and is equipped with two anti-submarine helicopters.
At present, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires has been equipped with 1,280 assault gun-class missile destroyers, and 240 assault gun-class missile destroyers are under construction.
In addition to the missile cruisers and missile destroyers in service, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires also mothballed thousands of heavy cruisers, large armored cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers, and the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires also invested heavily in modernizing some of them many times, adding advanced missile devices and ship electrical weapon systems.
If the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires needed it, the missile cruisers and missile destroyers converted from these old warships could be immediately put back into service.
In addition, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires currently has 5 types of frigates, with a total number of more than 4,000 ships, of which 3 frigates were opened by Zhou Rui from the lottery system, including the American Perry-class frigates, the British Type 23 frigates and the German Saxony-class frigates.
These three frigates, in the sequence of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, were named the Wooden Shield class, the Leather Shield class and the Vine Shield class.
The two frigates independently built by the Han and Tang Empires were named Iron Shield-class frigates and Steel Shield-class frigates respectively.
The difference between a frigate and a destroyer is that a destroyer is mainly used for attack, with missiles, torpedoes, naval guns, etc. as its main weapons, while a frigate is mainly used for reconnaissance and escort, with anti-submarine torpedo naval guns and missiles as its main weapons.
The American Perry-class frigate has a full load displacement of 4,100 tons, a maximum speed of 30 knots, 1 62 times caliber 76 mm naval gun, 2 triple 324 mm torpedo launchers, can carry 40 missiles of various kinds, and is equipped with 2 anti-submarine helicopters.
British Type 23 frigates with a full load displacement of 4200 tons, a maximum speed of 28 knots, 1 114-mm naval gun, 2 75-caliber 30-mm anti-aircraft guns, 2 triple 324-mm torpedo launchers, which can carry 40 missiles of various types, and 1 anti-submarine helicopter.
The German Saxony-class frigate has a full load displacement of 5960 tons, a maximum speed of 29 knots, 1 76-mm naval gun, 2 27-mm cannons, 2 triple 324-mm torpedo launchers, can carry 82 missiles of various kinds, and is equipped with 2 anti-submarine helicopters.
The Iron Shield-class frigate is modeled after the American Perry-class frigate, and the Steel Shield-class frigate is modeled after the German Saxony-class frigate, the former has a full load displacement of 4,300 tons and can carry 48 missiles of various kinds, and the latter has a full load displacement of 6,200 tons and can carry 90 missiles of various kinds.
In the major shipyards of the Han and Tang Empires, there are also 240 Steel Shield-class frigates under construction.
In the active service of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, there are more than 2,000 attack submarines, including the German Type 214 submarines, the Dongying State Canglong-class submarines and the Russian Amur-class submarines, as well as the Blue Ghost-class submarines and Purple Ghost-class submarines independently developed and produced by the Han and Tang Empires.
The first three submarines were named the Red Ghost class, the Green Ghost class, and the Yellow Ghost class respectively in the sequence of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.
The German Type 214 submarine, with a depth of 400 meters and a displacement of 1,980 tons, has eight 533 mm torpedo tubes, which can be loaded with 16 torpedoes and submarine-launched missiles.
The Dongying Canglong-class submarine, with a depth of 500 meters and a submarine displacement of 3,300 tons, has six 533 mm torpedo tubes, which can be loaded with 24 torpedoes and submarine-launched missiles.
The Russian Amur-class submarine has a depth of 300 meters, a submarine displacement of 2,800 tons, and has six 533 mm torpedo tubes, which can be loaded with 18 torpedoes and submarine-launched missiles.
The Blue Ghost-class submarine independently developed and produced by the Han and Tang Empires has a submarine displacement of 4,600 tons, has 8 550 mm torpedo tubes, and can be loaded with 32 torpedoes and submarine-launched missiles.
The Purple Ghost class submarine is currently the largest attack submarine in the world, with a submersible displacement of 8,300 tons, 12 550 mm torpedo tubes, and can be loaded with 64 torpedoes and submarine-launched missiles.
Hearing that Zhou Rui had made up his mind to prepare to make the first move against the nine-nation military alliance composed of six beast nations and three elf countries, the four marshals Xiang Tao, Wang Kui, Huang Zhigang, and Song Shenghe did not speak out against it.
After all, Zhou Rui took out 30,000 fourth-generation fighters, 15,000 third-generation main battle tanks, 5,000 armed helicopters, 24 Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers, 128 missile cruisers, and 160 missile destroyers at once, which made the strength of the navy, land and air forces of the Han and Tang Empires rise a lot.
In particular, the 30,000 fourth-generation fighters that will be delivered to the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires are enough for the Han and Tang Empires to occupy the advantage of air supremacy.
In the palace of Norya City, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, Emperor Cosno said to Prime Minister Salento helplessly: "In three naval battles, the navy has sunk a total of 9 Poison Lotus-class aircraft carriers, 2 Poison Mist-class aircraft carriers and 8 Poison Bee-class aircraft carriers.
Now the Navy is proposing to build 40 new Visp-class aircraft carriers to make up for the previous losses.
Will the Empire's finances be able to finance the construction of 40 Visp-class aircraft carriers? ”
The main losses of the Golden Lion Empire's navy came from the Battle of Cerbo Island.
In the Battle of Serbo Island alone, the Golden Lion Imperial Navy sank 6 Poison Lotus-class aircraft carriers, 2 Poison Mist-class aircraft carriers and 5 Poison Bee-class aircraft carriers, and in the last two naval battles, the Golden Lion Imperial Navy only sank 3 Poison Lotus-class aircraft carriers and 3 Poison Bee-class aircraft carriers combined.
Today, there are 36 Poison Lotus-class aircraft carriers, 30 Poison Mist-class aircraft carriers, and 112 Poison Bee-class aircraft carriers left in the entire Golden Lion Empire Navy.
Prime Minister Salento said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, although the cost of the Poison Bee-class aircraft carrier is much lower than that of the Poison Mist-class aircraft carrier, but counting the required carrier-based aircraft, each Poison Bee-class aircraft carrier still needs about 900 million silver coins.
Unless the treasury bonds are issued again, it will be difficult for the empire's finances to raise a huge amount of 36 billion silver coins. ”
Emperor Cosno sighed and said: "No matter how difficult it is, you have to grit your teeth and persevere, now that the military alliance of the nine countries has been reorganized, I don't know when a new war will break out with the Han and Tang Empires."
So from now on, our Golden Lion Empire has to continue to prepare for war, and 40 new Visp-class aircraft carriers must be built! ”
Prime Minister Salento nodded, "The minister will arrange the issuance of new treasury bonds as soon as possible, and then allocate the cost of building ships for the navy." ”
"The Navy also sank 17 missile battleships, 10 missile battle cruisers, 15 missile cruisers, 17 missile destroyers, 30 missile frigates and 10 attack submarines in three naval battles.
It is not only possible to build aircraft carriers, but also to replenish other types of warships, as well as the air force and army, which also need a lot of military spending to buy more new weapons and equipment.
New government bonds can be issued more and the interest rate can be higher, but the repayment period must be increased. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister understands what to do."
"By the way, did the intelligence department find out how many missile battleships and missile battlecruisers were transformed into the navy of the Han and Tang Empires?
And the navy of the Han and Tang Empires, how many aircraft carriers are in service? ”
Prime Minister Salento shook his head, "Your Majesty, the intelligence department has not found out yet, but it is certain that the navy of the Han and Tang Empires must have hidden a lot of strength. ”
"Let the intelligence department increase its efforts, we must find out the specific strength of the navy of the Han and Tang Empires, as well as the air force and army of the Han and Tang Empires, and also let the intelligence department carefully investigate.
The Han and Tang Empire's willingness to hide its strength is really annoying. ”
In a villa on the outskirts of Ganyang City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Cui Wentao said to an extremely beautiful woman: "Yuyan, how are things going?" ”
Cui Wentao has been lurking in the territory of the Han and Tang Empires for all these years since he defected to the intelligence organization of the Golden Lion Empire, helping the Golden Lion Empire collect intelligence on all aspects of the Han and Tang Empires.
At the same time, secretly, Cui Wentao has been developing his own power with the funds provided by the Golden Lion Empire.
This extremely beautiful woman is Cui Wentao's biological daughter Cui Yuyan.
Cui Yuyan's biological mother is an intelligence officer trained by Cui Wentao, and she gave birth to two daughters for Cui Wentao, but when she gave birth to her youngest daughter Cui Yuyan, she died in childbirth.
Cui Yuyan inherited the genes of her parents, she has been a beautiful embryo since she was a child, and now Cui Yuyan is already a popular film and television star in the Han and Tang Empires on the surface.
"Father, through the deputy commander Xue of the Ganyang garrison fleet, I found out that in the Ganyang Military Port, the 8 Blessing-class aircraft carriers sealed by the Han and Tang Empire Navy have been replaced with the latest anti-aircraft missile launchers of the Han and Tang Empires, and the ship electrical weapon systems of these 8 Blessing-class aircraft carriers have also been upgraded.
This shows that as long as they are equipped with carrier-based aircraft and personnel, these eight Blessing-class aircraft carriers can immediately go to sea for combat. ”
The blessing-class aircraft carrier mentioned by Cui Yuyan is the American Forrestal-class aircraft carrier, and Zhou Rui opened a total of 66 American Forrestal-class aircraft carriers from the lottery system.
The reason why the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires mothballed all 66 American Forrestal-class aircraft carriers was because there were too many aircraft carriers of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.
If it weren't for Zhou Rui's opposition, the Royal Navy would also be preparing to mothball most of the Jumbo-class aircraft carriers to reduce military spending.
Cui Wentao sighed and said, "Now on the side of the Golden Lion Empire, we have been asked to find out the specific strength of the Han and Tang Empire's navy, land and air forces.
But it's not easy to find out, for example, the navy of the Han and Tang Empires, in addition to the warships in active service, many of those mothballed warships can be immediately converted into active service like Blessing-class aircraft carriers.
Even if you don't check the sealed warships, just the number of warships in service in the Han and Tang Empire Navy, I'm afraid only the top of the Han and Tang Empire Navy can really know. ”
Cui Yuyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, Xue Baorui, the deputy commander of the Ganyang Garrison Fleet, and his father Xue Tai are the current commander of the Tenth Fleet of the Han and Tang Imperial Navy.
Do I have to put more effort into Xue Baorui's body next? ”
Cui Wentao waved his hand and said, "A little vice admiral, it's not worth your bet."
Xue Baorui's side, you don't have to pay too much attention to it next, because your father has already found a real target for you to bet on. ”
