Bai Zhizhan sighed, but was speechless.

If you want to say it, you can only secretly rejoice that you are just a professional soldier and have not been involved in the intrigue power struggle for the time being.

Of course, this also explains a problem.

After returning from Fan Yanyang, why didn't Xue Yuanzheng look for him.

It must be said that at least in terms of public and private, Xue Yuanzheng is very clear.

Although he has always attached great importance to the White Stop War, and has always regarded the White Stop War as his confidant, Xue Yuanzheng was not confused when it came to the core interests of the empire.

At present, the last thing that should be disturbed is a few capable generals, such as Bai Zhizhan and Lian Xusheng.

Regardless of whether we talk or fight, we need to maintain military victory.

If you lose the battle, what to talk about?

It is precisely because of this that Xue Yuanzheng did not look for Bai Zhizhan, only asked Liu Changxun to come forward, and after explaining the situation, he let Bai Zhizhan come to Puzhou.

learned about the cause and effect from Zhao Yu, and Bai Zhizhan also had a bottom in his heart.

In fact, it is not the Song family that has the advantage now, or Xue Yuanzheng is trying his best to maintain the situation and avoid the expansion of internal contradictions from having a negative impact on the overall situation.

Do not forget that this is a time of war, and the entire empire is in a state of wartime.

To put it bluntly, the power of the empire is in the hands of Xue Yuanzheng, and except for the emperor, the head of the empire can decide the life and death of almost all soldiers and civilians.

If you really want to force Xue Yuanzheng to be in a hurry, or make Xue Yuanzheng feel that there is no other way, he can make all those who plot evil disappear overnight.

Xue Yuanzheng has not done this, not because of the kindness of a woman, but because it has not yet reached the time when he has to do it.

Not to mention anything else, the Song family had almost no influence in the army, so no matter how fierce the trouble was, it could not pose a real threat to Xue Yuanzheng.

If you want to say, this is also the key to the Song family's failure to achieve positive results and surpass the Tang family.

The method that Xue Yuanzheng used to maintain the situation was actually to win the battle all the time.

In Zhao Yu's words, as long as the emperor ** team keeps winning battles and is getting closer and closer to a comprehensive victory, the Song family will not get the slightest chance.

Only if the emperor ** team loses the battle, the Song family can take advantage of it.

Recognizing this problem, it is simple.

Because Zhao Yu usually doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, and he doesn't drink at all, neither of them drinks, and they go to rest separately after talking about business.

After tossing all day, Bai Zhizhan was indeed tired.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Zhizhan went to the port with Zhao Yu and boarded the "provincial" class aircraft carrier with the port number 007.

As expected, the ship will be named "Pu".

However, according to the current naming convention, the ship only has a ship number for the time being, and it will receive the corresponding name after it is officially delivered.

Today, the ship is due to undergo its last sea trials before delivery.

Of course, unlike in peacetime, only basic performance tests are carried out before delivery, and many extreme performance is arranged at the stage of military acceptance.

If anything, the ship has undergone a total of 5 sea trials before that.

It's not that I'm reluctant to burn oil, but time is very short.

Even the last sea trial is only to test whether the auxiliary power system and some large electronic equipment can be used normally without preliminary preparation.

As for the take-off and landing tests of carrier-based aircraft, which are of concern to Bai Zhizhan, they are carried out at the acceptance stage.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time that Bai Zhizhan has boarded a large aircraft carrier of the "Provincial" class.

Although I have been to the Puzhou shipyard many times before and participated in several research work on the construction of aircraft carriers, none of them have been carried out on aircraft carriers.

In addition, small aircraft carriers were seen only yesterday.

The contrast between this fall is indeed very shocking.

In the words of the White Stop, in the face of the "provincial" class, yesterday several small aircraft carriers were minors, not at all on the same level.

In addition, after boarding the aircraft carrier, the big benefits can really be felt.

The most obvious is the division of the flight deck.

In the past, on fleet aircraft carriers, the flight deck was not divided into fixed functional areas, and only when needed, aviation service personnel temporarily set up relevant functional areas, such as the take-off preparation area around the elevator, the front catapult take-off area, and the fault disposal area before and after the ship island.

On large aircraft carriers, it's different.

On the flight deck, there are several special functional areas marked with different color markings, the most important of which are the dwelling areas on both sides of the deck.

This is also a big advantage of large aircraft carriers.

After leaving sufficient landing space, several standing carrier-based aircraft mooring points can be set up on both sides of the flight deck along the longitudinal direction.

Carrier-based aircraft parked at these mooring points will not have an impact on landing.

To say, the "Provincial" class is not large enough, the dwell area on the left side is relatively narrow, and carrier-based aircraft can only be parked diagonally, limiting the number of parking.

One of the advantages of having an extra dwell area is that it allows the deck to be vacated while retaining standby fighters, speeding up sorties in an emergency.

Or, when recovering carrier-based aircraft, it is possible to keep several fighters on standby, rather than having to empty the flight deck as is the case with fleet carriers.

Directly speaking, a fighter on standby is able to glide directly from the aft deck into the air.

In practice, if the pilot sits in the cabin, it can save a few minutes!

Don't underestimate these few minutes.

In an air defense operation, a few minutes is enough to effectively intercept an incoming group.

Judging from the previous decisive battles of the fleet, what determines the victory or defeat of air defense operations, and even the life and death of aircraft carriers, is actually only a few minutes.

The second benefit of the huge hull is reflected in the hangar.

The "Provincial" class was the first aircraft carrier of the Imperial Navy to have a ceiling area in the hangar.

Strictly speaking, it's actually the second type.

As early as more than 10 years ago, the Imperial Navy tested the equipment for hoisting carrier-based aircraft in the hangar on the "Longjiang" class, but the effect was not ideal, there were many unsolvable problems, the operability was very bad, and it was dismantled after the test was completed, and it was not officially equipped.

On the "provincial" level, carrier-based aircraft are carried by hanging, which is only for emergency purposes, to be precise, to be precise, to carry some more spare aircraft.

In fact, the design was not designed to carry more carrier-based aircraft.

According to Zhao Yu, the original idea was actually to speed up the transfer of carrier-based aircraft in the hangar, improve the efficiency of operations inside the hangar, and reduce the intensity of operations.

To put it bluntly, it is to reduce the burden on the orderly.

However, in the later operation, the service personnel found that it could be used to hang the spare carrier-based aircraft, thereby increasing the carrying capacity of the carrier-based aircraft.

Since then, in actual combat operations, these rigging positions have often been used to carry additional spare parts to repair damaged carrier-based aircraft on the front line.

As for the value, of course, there is no need to say more.

In the past few battles, about half of the damaged carrier-based aircraft had to be scrapped because they could not be repaired on the carrier, taking up valuable space on the carrier. Many of these damaged carrier-based aircraft that were thrown directly into the sea can actually be repaired, or have the value of repair.

In fact, just reaching a floor height of 5 meters liberates the hands of the carrier-based aircraft designer, so that the designer no longer overemphasizes the height of the carrier-based aircraft.

That alone is immeasurably valuable.

As for the performance of other aspects of the "provincial" level, there is no need to question it.
