Chapter 809: Naval Strategy (2)

Buy Battleships & Battlecruisers!

Liu Buyun was frightened again by Zhang Yi's generosity, so far, in the whole of Asia, only Japan is equipped with two battle cruisers, and in the whole world, only Britain, Germany and Japan are equipped with such warships, although such warships, both offensive and defensive, strong combat power, is the first weapon in naval warfare, but its price is not something that ordinary countries can afford.

Everyone also looked at Zhang Yi in amazement, five ships in five years, plus the original six armored cruisers and Dingyuan ships, these are twelve main warships, with these twelve main warships, no one in the whole of East Asia except Japan will be an opponent of the Republic of China Navy!

Zhang Yi continued: "Zixiang, now our focus is not only on the battleship itself, we still have a more important problem to solve, that is, the firepower of the battleship, now all our battleships have insufficient firepower, I hope that in the next two years, all the main battleships must be 305 mm caliber super heavy guns!" Now the 305 mm heavy guns are above our fleet, only a third of the heavy guns have reached this caliber, we must upgrade them all, especially our main guns, all the main warships on the sea in the future are ironclad battleships, without large-caliber heavy artillery, we can't even penetrate the thick armor of the opponent! ”

Liu Buyun nodded and said: "Jianzhi, I understand, this problem, as early as the Yellow Sea War in the First Sino-Japanese War, I found out that almost all the heavy losses of the Japanese Navy came from the two ships of Dingyuan Zhenyuan, and the heavy artillery caliber on the rest of the ships was relatively small, but the Japanese Navy, although it sank our other ships, but even under the superior firepower, it was also helpless against our two flagships, and now several years have passed, and the armor of the main battleship is getting thicker and thicker, The 305 mm naval gun is only enough to ensure that we will not lag behind in the next ten years, and after ten years, further upgrades will be needed. ”

Zhang Yi nodded, and then said: "In addition to the caliber, there is also the problem of the 'firing' rate, we must increase the 'firing' speed of the cannon, especially the Dingyuan ship, the 'firing' speed is too slow, in the naval battle, it is simply the goods that have been beaten, and five or six shells have been 'fired', and we can't even shoot two shells, how can we guarantee victory against the enemy?" ”

Liu Buyun said helplessly: "Jianzhi, you are in a word, the problem is that our current artillery development technology is a little unable to keep up, while ensuring the firepower of large-caliber heavy artillery, we must also ensure the 'firing' rate, this problem is not something that our existing arsenal can solve, even in the world, it is a little difficult." ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Zixiang, won't you find someone else to cooperate?" The Americans, the Germans, are waiting for us to cooperate with them, it is a mountain of stones, it can attack the 'jade', no matter what, our large-caliber rapid-fire 'fire' artillery must also be studied! ”

Liu Buyun continued: "Jianzhi, there is another problem, that is, the problem of our carrier-based aircraft, now our aircraft need to use a long runway to take off, our main battleship can provide the flight deck is already the largest, it is still a little unreliable, once the plane can not take off normally, it will be a disaster!" ”

Zhang Yi nodded and said: "I have heard Sun Defeng tell me about this problem, and I am already working on solving it, since the runway that the plane taxied before taking off is too long, then give him an additional boost!" Or, just remove the taxi and take off on the spot, these two ideas I have already provided to the Wright brothers and Yu Qiaqing. Airplanes are the big killer in our hands in the future, the real big killer, this technology we must maintain our leading edge! ”

Xu Huaijin said on the side: "Instructor, I think our air force should also become an independent army, we must ensure the independent status of the air force, in order to ensure that the air force can develop at the fastest speed!" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "This is natural, within a month, our Air Force Command must be formed, let Sun Defeng be the first Air Force commander, how to 'operate', all thrown to him, this kid is not small, but sometimes he likes to hide 'private', must be squeezed hard; at the same time for the whole army to recruit the first air force brigade, I mean let Jiang Ruilin serve as the brigade commander of the air force brigade, the entire air force has the two of them in charge, there should be no problem." ”

Xu Huaijin shook his head and replied: "Instructor, all the chief and deputy commanders of the blue wolf will be transferred away at once, not to mention the formation of the air force, and a group of 'elite' capable forces will be 'pumped' from the blue wolf, and the marines will also be 'pumped' and transferred a batch of 'elite' capable forces, our blue wolf will be in an unprecedented stage of weakness, and there is no good hand to control the blue wolf, but no, after all, the blue wolf is the trump card we use to deter the Quartet!" ”

Zhang Yi looked at Xu Huaijin and asked, "Huaijin, what do you mean?" ”

Xu Huaijin said with a smile: "Leave Jiang Ruilin in the blue wolf, he is in charge of the blue wolf, at least we will rest assured, the recruitment and training of the blue wolf in the future, the task is indeed heavy, there is no top 'elite' Ying, I am afraid it will not work." ”

Zhang Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Forget it, the Air Force has just been formed, and it is more necessary for a talent like Jiang Ruilin with actual combat experience to sit in charge, you can't let that kid from Defeng come forward in everything, if the blue wolf's strength is weak, then transfer Zhang Shengqi over, with him in charge, there will be no problem with the training of the blue wolf, if you are still not at ease, then 'draw' a few blood-colored blue wolves, anyway, it has now entered a period of peace, and there is no need for the blood-colored blue wolves to stay by my side!" ”

Xu Huaijin was a little hesitant, after all, Zhang Yi had already had two incidents in succession, and no one could guarantee whether there would be any more danger in the future.

Zhang Yi saw Xu Huaijin's concerns, and said with a smile: "Okay, Huaijin, instructor, my 'life' is not something that can be taken away by just one person, so be it, as for the affairs of the army, I will all 'hand' it over to you, anyway, you are familiar with the road, and it is a little difficult, so it is difficult for you to be Zhuge Liang." ”

Xu Huaijin looked helpless, and threw it at me, hundreds of thousands of people eating, drinking, and lazing, is this a small matter, every time I deal with it, it is a mess, and the staff of the General Staff and the War Department are too small.

Xu Huaijin said helplessly: "Instructor, did you throw it to me again?" Do you really want to exhaust me to death like Zhuge Liang? ”

Zhang Yi laughed and said: "Who made you the chief of the army, well, also, 'draw' a few people to come over to help you, who to 'draw' specifically, you choose yourself, look at whoever is pleasing to the eye, just look for whom, a chief to transfer a few people is not good, who is mischievous to clean up whom!" ”
