1174

"Are you sure you want to get on this boat?" In the port area of Plymouth in Country Y, Lin Hai and Liu Yan were wearing the uniforms of ordinary lieutenants, looking at the flagship "Enterprise" of the air fleet of country M that was stationed in the harbor.

"Of course." Patting the captain's uniform on his body, Lin Hai replied with a relaxed face, "I am still very interested in the air battleship of the M people. Although it was based on the Higra-class space destroyer that we offered, we designed it as a battleship, and they made it an aircraft carrier, so I was interested to see how they redesigned it. ”

"What about safety?" Liu Yan touched the weapon on his waist, a little uneasy.

"After the important meeting, Chen Xi has disguised himself as someone from me who went around to inspect to fish out the Brotherhood, and now who would know that I infiltrated the GDI observation group and ran to the ship of the M people?" Straightening up his glasses, and touching his face by the way, Lin Hai smiled, "If it weren't for the makeup with me, no one in the entire observation group would know that I was mixed in except you, and since no one knew that I was there, then who would assassinate me?" So you should treat the right to come to the observation mission as a vacation, unless you want to accompany Chen Xi as a bait to run around. ”

"Of course I have to watch you, so that you don't have anyone to watch and do something else for us."

"Am I that ignorant?"

As the two whispered on the side, the welcoming ceremony of the GDI Observation Mission held by the M Army also came to an end, and the boarding time had come, and the 42 GDI members of the Observation Mission transferred from various levels and branches of the army also began to board the ship in accordance with the instructions of the M Army, in order of military rank.

In addition to the GDI observation team, the M Army also invited the Y country side, and a smaller Y Army exchange group composed of only 17 people also boarded the M Army's air warships with the GDI observation team.

These two observation groups were temporarily established at the invitation of the M Army, and the head of the regiment is a colonel from country D, although the military rank is not as high as a captain of the M Army air fleet - as a member of the latest fleet of the M army, even the captain of a frigate is served by a commodore - but the colonel represents the GDI, the strongest force organization in the human world, so even the commander of the fleet, Admiral Howard, will not put on a too arrogant attitude when facing the GDI colonel from country D.

Of course, he would not treat a colonel as an equal. After the welcome was over, he naturally returned to his office to work, and the reception work was all handed over to another Brigadier from the M Army.

The reason why the M army will make such a plan to invite GDI to send an observation group to board their air fleet for military exchanges is because the air fleet sent by the M army did not play a role in this operation in country Y, and there was no outstanding performance in several key battles.

The whole battlefield, they are like a group of spectators.

The air fleet came in the name of supporting country Y, and has been receiving supplies from country Y, but there is no real action, in this regard, it is of course impossible for country Y, which is in urgent need of all kinds of help, to be happy, what they need is an ally to help them repel the enemy, not an uncle who has come to eat and drink and provide for them.

At this time, the people of country Y naturally forgot that they were indeed the little brother of country M in the past - they are going to die, if you don't come to help me eat and drink me, who cares who you are!

In the face of the angry accusations of the people of country Y, of course, the people of country M know that they are in the wrong, although they have always been the little brother of country Y, but after all, they are not their subject countries, and they can disobey them.

In order to salvage some reputations, and in order to show some sincerity on their side, they did not dare to send such a valuable air fleet to the front line for the time being, so the people of country M resorted to such a ploy and invited the observation group of GDI and country Y to board the ship for visits and exchanges, so as to ease the relations between the parties, so that they could continue to spend more time in country Y to collect intelligence, sort out battlefield data, and train their air fleet.

Of course, such an important force is always hiding in the safe rear, and no matter how much it eases relations with country Y, it is impossible for the people of country Y to ignore this matter forever, and it is impossible for the air fleet to stay here in country Y for a long time without making some performances. Therefore, after the two observation groups board the ships, the air fleet will carry out another replenishment, and then go to the vicinity of London to provide direct support to the front-line Y army and GDI troops, no longer like before, hiding in a safe area hundreds of kilometers away to fight a few cruise missiles, this time, an escort warship of the air fleet will fly to the front-line position and use naval artillery to bombard the position of the Sijingren.

During this period, the two observation and exchange groups will temporarily stay on the flagship of the fleet, the air carrier "Enterprise," and watch the on-site operations of the M Army, which can be regarded as having been released to the outside world, and in order to further obtain more data on the use of the air fleet, it has made public its military secrets in front of outsiders.

The reason why they also call the people of GDI at the same time as the people of country Y is because the air carrier of the M army is redesigned from the GDI Higra-class space destroyer as a template (because there is only one type of starship design they can get from GDI), and the original artillery warship is forcibly changed into an aircraft carrier carrying fighters for long-range strike operations.

Because the original design of the Higra-class destroyer is a starship with a length of 300 meters, when the M people revised the design, they did not make many changes to the external design, but the original huge number of anti-ship weapons was removed, and the remaining two 450 guns were also moved to the two sides of the hull, which actually proves the high level of the M people in the design of the warship - moving the position of the two main guns is not a simple job, the layout of the relevant pipelines, and the modification of personnel and maintenance channels are not something that can be changed. If you don't have enough technical knowledge, it will have a major impact on the entire ship - the people of country M have even eliminated the four space torpedo tubes in the ship's tunnel and replaced them with two phalanx and two Hylam missile platforms to enhance the anti-aircraft fire in the bow direction of the ship.

The main weapons of the upper and lower parts of the hull in the original design were removed, and all the protrusions in the upper half of the hull were flattened to become aprons and runways, and they even opened a movable door in the bow of the ship for the fighters to take off - if they landed, they could only land from the top runway, and could not fly directly into the ship through this door.

It's just that the structure of the original combat ship, after being changed to an aircraft carrier, the capacity to accommodate fighters is not high, and the ship needs to be loaded with a huge number of flying devices and energy devices, resulting in this air aircraft carrier is even inferior to those medium-sized aircraft carriers in surface ships in terms of aircraft carrying capacity, not to mention compared with Ford-class aircraft carriers - the air aircraft carrier can only carry one squadron of F-35G fighters and two squadrons of unmanned fighters - fortunately, it is an air warship, and after the radar is also installed under the hull, it saves the carrying space of the early warning aircraft.

Of course, the M army is not stupid, of course they know that the purpose of GDI's design of Higra-class destroyers is ship-to-ship combat, and if they are forcibly converted into aircraft carriers, their combat effectiveness will definitely be affected, but they still have to do this, in addition to the fact that their warships will only fight in the atmosphere and will not go into space, and the impact of the overhaul design is smaller than expected, naturally in order to master the ability to design their own starships or air warships as soon as possible. Everything starts from scratch, not five or six years, they will definitely not be able to come up with a qualified and applicable starship design drawing, but redesign from an existing design drawing, even if it is a major overhauled design, it will also be of great help to master the starship design skills, and the people of country M are planning to find another way to master this technology in a more radical way than other countries - even if this overhauled design method is finally proven wrong, it doesn't matter, they who have money and technology have actually taken several routes at the same time, It's okay to fail one or two.

Lin Hai and Liu Yan were mixed in the observation and exchange group, boarded the "Enterprise" air aircraft carrier that replaced the New York Battle and was sunk by the Sijing people, and after seeing the internal structure, he shook his head more than everyone present who was familiar with the structure of the Higra-class space destroyer.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yan, who followed him closely, asked in a low voice, he didn't know what Lin Hai saw and would have such a reaction.

"Although it is said that the air warships of the M people do not need to go to space, and as aircraft carriers, they do not have to rush to the front line, but in order to reduce weight and increase the volume of the ship, they have cut too much armor and internal frame, resulting in the ship's insufficient structure and fragile defense, but it still retains two 450mm combined main guns, which is a bit nondescript. I even doubt that the main gun, if fired, would tear the hull apart. ”

"Maybe it's just a deterrent?" Liu Yan is not very sure, he has not seen the design drawings of the Higra-class, let alone the design drawings of this air aircraft carrier, so he can't make a correct judgment, so he can only guess, "After all, since World War II, the people of country M have not loaded heavy artillery on aircraft carriers, and it is impossible for them not to know what the cost of installing guns on aircraft carriers is." Even if they wanted to imitate the Kodiak-class aircraft-carrying cruisers, it would not be possible to put the main guns on them after weakening the armor. They probably wanted to use those two main guns to deter the enemy from getting close, right? ”

"Just look at it." Lin Hai nodded, and agreed with Liu Yan's opinion, "Anyway, this ship is going to the front line, and sooner or later we will see what is going on." If we have the chance, we can also take a tour of the ship's weapons systems. ”

"I don't think the people of country M will open all areas of this ship to the observation and exchange group, they will probably only open the aviation deck to show us, because everyone in that area has seen a lot on surface aircraft carriers. Maybe there will be something different from surface aircraft carriers, but the technical content will certainly not be much higher. Liu Yan immediately retorted, "So I want to take the opportunity of the visit to investigate the weapon system of this ship, but I'm afraid it's unlikely." ”

"It's okay not to be allowed to visit, it's not a problem for me. The ship is so big, if the two main guns are not ornamental, then we can roughly figure out what is going on by simply walking along the passage inside the ship. The base of the main gun is a big guy who takes up a lot of space, and they can't hide it if they want to. ”

"I'm surprised that you know so much about these things?" Liu Yan looked at Lin Hai with some surprise, "I thought you only cared about how to get more political benefits now, but I didn't expect to know so much about these details, and you have grown a lot!" ”

"You think I'm sitting in the office every day, and I'm just in a daze there?" Lin Hai sneered, "I can't go to the front line at will, of course, I can only read those documents that seem to never be finished every day, how can I not read such important documents as starship design?" Don't forget what the two of us are about, even if I can't understand them all, I can probably understand the content. ”

"Then I'll rest assured, the people of country M can't hide it from us." (https:)
