After Kuroshima went out, Takano got up and walked to the porthole.

Although it is very important to Tian Minoru Shaosa, but unlike Kuroshima who thinks, Takano has never regarded Tian Minori as a successor, and has never even considered the issue of a successor.

The commander of the permanent fleet needs a successor!?

If you want to say it, you will definitely be laughed at.

This is not the throne, what is there to inherit?

In fact, Takano never felt that the commander of the permanent fleet was a beautiful mistake.

Having sat in this position for a few years, what Takano has done boils down to nothing more than two things. One is to wipe the ass of the former commander and act as a new leader. The second is to deal with politicians who may like whimsical because they are not poisonous, so as not to let the fleet be disturbed by the outside world.

Of course, no one dared to deny Takaya's status.

He has long been under one man and above 10,000 in the narrow navy, and everyone knows that he will be the only contender for the next commander and commander-in-chief of the navy. If he is willing to enter politics, he may be able to sit on the throne of prime minister within ten years.

Now, Takano doesn't take the feelings of a subordinate seriously.

He complained to the dark sky, but Takano didn't say the most critical issue, which was what he was most worried about.

Why did so many officers and men of the Narrow-based Navy think of using carrier-based aviation to attack Chengjiang Port, and why did they believe that it would definitely succeed? Don't forget, before today, Takano was still an out-and-out big-ship gunner. Three years ago, after withdrawing from the Hwaseong Treaty, it was only at the initiative of Takano that the Sasashi Navy began the construction of super-battleships.

To put it bluntly, where does the Narrow-minded Navy's confidence in aircraft carriers and carrier-based aviation come from?

That's right, it's a sworn enemy!

If you want to say it, it goes back two years.

During the fleet exercise that year, the Liang Xia Navy concealed a real confrontation, and the narrow intelligence agency got inside information.

What confrontation?

The two aircraft carriers of the First Air Task Force dispatched carrier-based aviation units in two waves to launch a surprise attack on Chengjiang Port, which served as an enemy military port, to attack the warships in the harbor and infrastructure facilities such as docks, warehouses, and oil depots, so as to test the combat effectiveness of carrier-based aviation.

The key point is that this is a confrontation exercise that completely simulates actual combat.

The carrier-based aircraft that launched the attack used genuine aviation torpedoes, but they did not have warheads, and used dye packs. The bomb used a 25-kilogram aerial bomb, which was only one-tenth of the actual combat bomb, and the body of the bomb was wrapped with a layer of rubber as thick as 10 centimeters. In order to observe the exercise more clearly, a paint pipe was hung on the tail of the torpedo to mark the track, and the bomb was equipped with a smoke generating device.

As for the results of the exercise, it can be said that it is very, very shocking.

Just two rounds of air strikes and more than 100 carrier-based aircraft sent dozens of warships, including more than a dozen capital ships, parked in the harbor to the bottom of the sea.

Of course, it was only judged by the referee to be sunk.

This exercise proved the powerful strike capability of carrier-based aircraft!

After getting the information, Takano couldn't believe it.

In order to confirm the authenticity of the information, at the beginning of the following year, the Sagai Navy also conducted a similar secret exercise, and the results naturally go without saying.

It must be admitted that it was the exercises of the Liangxia Navy that opened a window.

Of course, during the self-organized exercises, the Narrow-Sized Navy made more discoveries.

For example, aviation torpedoes pose a very great threat to warships, especially when the depth is set appropriately, an aviation torpedo with a battle mine head of about 200 kilograms can cause damage to a large warship equivalent to a 500-kilogram bomb, and the damage caused by the torpedo is often difficult to repair.

The point is that many treaty-type warships have poor underwater protection, and even abandon underwater protection.

In addition, in the face of threats from the air, including capital ships, it is necessary to strengthen horizontal protection, at least increase the thickness of horizontal armor.

It was based on this discovery that the Navy added an armored deck to the aircraft carrier.

Do not forget that the aircraft carrier is the most vulnerable to enemy dive bombers, or the first thing that enemy dive bombers have to deal with is the aircraft carrier.

Of course, not all of the findings are correct.

The most typical example is that after this exercise, the Navy came up with a "theory that antiaircraft guns are useless," believing that the most effective way to deal with air attacks is to strengthen the maneuverability of warships and avoid bombs and torpedoes, and that antiaircraft guns can at most interfere with enemy planes in dropping bombs.

Influenced by this viewpoint, the Navy has not comprehensively strengthened the anti-aircraft firepower of aircraft carriers, nor has it always attached much importance to large-caliber anti-aircraft guns.

In any case, it was the Liangxia Navy that brought naval warfare into the aviation age!

Besides, as early as twenty years ago, at least fifteen years ago, the Liangxia Navy shifted its focus to the aviation forces, which had no future at that time.

Interestingly, among the four major naval powers, the last to build aircraft carriers was the Liangxia Empire.

In other words, fifteen years ago, the top of the Liangxia Empire, at least those who controlled the fate of the navy, discovered the great value of aircraft carriers and aviation.

Perhaps, it was at that time that the commanders of the Liang Xia Empire began to plan this battle of revenge!

It is very likely that the exercise two years ago, and even the inside information obtained by the narrow intelligence agency, was deliberately done by the Liang Xia navy.

Almost twenty years ago, just after the end of the last great war, the commander-in-chief of the Liangxia Empire was secretly preparing for the next big war?

This is really amazing, too outrageous, right!?

It's just that, looking at the history of the rise of the Liang Xia Empire, especially those decisive wars, which one was not the case?

The battle for the founding of the country took two years just to plan, and finally settled the situation at the mouth of the Nanjiang River.

It took ten years to plan and prepare for the war with the Tsar Locke before the complete victory of the Battle of Atai and the later alliance under the city.

In every war since then, the Liang Xia Empire has planned and then moved, and all of them have won a great victory.

For decades, the development of the Liangxia Empire was like a divine help.

In this regard, some Westerners were very emotional, and also said that "if God has a nationality, it must be the people of Liang Xia", which is both extremely helpless and extremely sad and indignant.

If anything, there is only one exception, and that is the last war.

But now it seems that it is an exception?

In the last war, the Liang Xia Empire was almost completely retreated, and the loss was only some overseas interests that were like chicken ribs. What really collapsed was actually the Ther Empire, the Luosha Empire, and the Riman Empire, as well as the world order that had existed for hundreds of years with the West at its core. As a direct result of the war, the Western world was turned into a mess, and the middle ground between East and West became borderless.

Isn't that where the ideal place to be!?

From this point of view, can it be said that the Liangxia Empire was defeated?

Maybe it's just the so-called defeat in exchange for a more favorable strategic situation!

It's just that with the collapse of the There Empire, the vacated strategic buffer zone can allow the Liang Xia Empire to do a lot of articles and become a pedal for the king to reign over the world.

If this is the case, those leaders who control the empire are probably inhuman beings.

It's just that now, what needs to be considered by Takano is actually a more realistic problem.

Do you want to follow the telegram sent by the Military Command Department and return to the Shuangche Strait according to the original plan, or do you want to use the trick of "will be outside"?

The key thing is, what are those two guys on the flagship of the task force thinking!?
