Chapter 492: "The Great President"!!

"The Great President".

This aircraft carrier, which cost Wang Hengyue countless money and manpower, was quietly moored in the harbor, waiting for Wang Hengyue and his admirals to review.

From the beginning of getting Guangzhou, Wang Hengyue's first thing was to build an aircraft carrier.

It took two full years to complete the construction of this "Great President", which also means that the pace of the naval power of the Central Kingdom has accelerated and entered a new stage!

Wang Hengyue, Chen Shaokuan and others boarded the "Great President".

The first aircraft carrier of the Chinese country began to set sail slowly.

The aircraft carrier "Grand President" has a total length of 170 meters, a standard displacement of 7,570 tons, a speed of 25 knots, and 21 aircraft, two hangars in the front and rear, and two elevators arranged along the center line of the flight deck. For surface engagements, four 140-mm naval guns were also installed.

"Finally have its own aircraft carrier." Wang Hengyue stood on the deck, and there was a lot of emotion in his tone: "Some admirals have complained that I don't attach importance to the development of battleships, but I firmly believe that I am on the right path. ”

"I'm convinced of that too." Chen Shaokuan, a staunch supporter of aircraft carriers, said: "Aircraft carriers will be the main force in future naval warfare, and will completely fulfill the dream of the Chinese Navy, and I firmly stand on the side of the president." ”

"The second aircraft carrier Dream and the third aircraft carrier Glory have also been built at two shipyards at the same time, and it is expected that by two years, our navy will have at least three aircraft carriers." Wang Hengyue smiled when he said this: "This cost me a lot of money!" ”

Chen Shaokuan didn't have a smile on his face at all: "For the sake of the aircraft carrier, no matter how much money you spend, it's worth it." If the president has financial difficulties, he can consider cutting the salaries of naval officers, and the first one starts with me, and I can continue to serve in the navy without taking a penny! ”

This person is really a crazy aircraft carrier supporter, Wang Hengyue thought to himself.

Don't pay for naval engineering? I'm willing, and you're willing, but the naval officers aren't necessarily willing. Thinking of this, Wang Hengyue smiled and said: "It's not necessary, I'll tell you quietly, I have a lot of money, and it's enough to build a few aircraft carriers." ”

Chen Shaokuan finally couldn't help laughing.

This is a stingy and generous president, he is stingy, you don't want to dig a penny out of him; But he has to be generous, he will give you whatever you want, and throw out millions of dollars without blinking an eye.

Chen Shaokuan knows very well that the president of the navy has spent too much money, and in addition to ordering a large number of warships from abroad, he is afraid that he cannot even calculate how much money he has spent on shipbuilding at home.

"Our country's coastal defense line is very long, and the territory is large, but now the navy strength is weak," Wang Hengyue put away his smile and said: "For example, in the previous Miaojie incident, there were not only the efforts of the navy officers, but more importantly, the diplomatic victory. If the waist pole of our navy is really stiff, then the Japanese and Russians will never dare to make such naked threats, in the final analysis, it is our own lack of confidence. In the future national defense plan, it is necessary to seek truth from facts, develop the navy, and complete the national defense plan. In order to save the power and interests of the Chinese family, it is necessary to build a very large navy so that the Republic of China will become a first-class naval power in the world! ”

Chen Shaokuan was a little excited!

"Make the Republic of China a first-class naval power in the world!"

This sentence is the dream of the president, his own dream, and the dream of the entire navy of the Chinese Empire!

Now that the "Grand President" has been launched and will conduct its first exercises, and the "Dream" and "Glorious" are also under construction at the same time, the dream of a naval power is one step closer to itself.

"I've worked with the Department of Defense and the Admiralty to develop a huge 10-year shipbuilding plan that includes aircraft carriers, armored cruisers, and submarines." Wang Hengyue said in a daze: "In ten years, through the way of purchasing and making our own equipment, our navy's hardware can keep up." But the quality of the navy personnel depends on your efforts. I have built six naval academies throughout the country, and I am responsible for providing places for them to study, and it is up to them to fight on their own. ”…,

At this moment, Chen Shaokuan was very grateful to Wang Hengyue in his heart, and Chen Shaokuan did not feel anything to regret when he joined the government of the Republic of China!

This is a big president who sincerely wants to run the naval cause of the Chinese Empire!

"Arrive at the exercise area, arrive at the exercise area!"

With this sound, the sailors on the entire "Great President" suddenly became busy.

"Report to the President, our ship has arrived in the exercise area." Wu Qianlong, the captain of the aircraft carrier "Big President", came over heroically and said loudly.

This subordinate who followed Wang Hengyue a long time ago is really strange. He was reluctant to make him the commander of the Second Fleet, and he had to come to the "Great President" as a captain.

Wang Hengyue nodded and said, "You can start." ”

"Yes!" Wu Qianlong saluted: "The exercise begins!" ”

"With such a big ship and so many planes, it is used to take off and bomb on the ship." A muffled voice came from behind.

Wang Hengyue and Chen Shaokuan turned around at the same time and saw that it was Niu Liancheng with a steamed bun in his mouth.

"yes, how do you know?" Wang Hengyue seemed to be particularly patient with him.

Niu Liancheng swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns: "The plane takes off from the ship, boom, boom, the battleship is finished, the battleship can't beat the plane." ”

Niu Liancheng's words were reversed, but it made Wang Hengyue and Chen Shao look at each other with a wide face.

When Niu Liancheng was brought to the "President", Chen Shaokuan was still wondering, how could the President bring this person with obvious intelligence problems to the ship?

But now listening to him, it seems that he is very proficient in aircraft carriers.

Chen Shaokuan looked at him and asked; "You knew about aircraft carriers before?"

"It's called an aircraft carrier." Niu Liancheng apparently heard the name for the first time: "I thought it was called a big ship." ”

Chen Shaokuan was even more surprised: "Then how do you know?" ”

"I guess." Niu Liancheng doesn't care about the tunnel.

This person is either pretending to be stupid, or he is really a genius, Chen Shaokuan suddenly had such an idea in his heart.

The true purpose and power of aircraft carriers are also unknown to many naval officers of the Chinese Empire, but can this "stupid" see it at a glance?

Wang Hengyue was a little proud, everyone was puzzled that he had a "stupid man", but maybe this person would become a capable naval officer under his command when he saw it!

At this time, with Wu Qianlong's order, the exercise of the "Great President" began!

In the distance, a lone ironclad ship is parked on the sea, waiting for its "fate" judgment.

Eight "Thunder" bombers roared out from the deck of the "Great President," and when they flew over the ironclad ship, they began to bombard it with aerial bombs.

The ironclad ship had no way to dodge, and under the bombardment of eight aircraft, it was quickly covered in bruises, and then quickly sank.

The eight planes continued to hover in the air for a while before returning home.

The officers and men on the "Great President" who witnessed all this suddenly broke out into a burst of earth-shattering cheers!

Today's exercises proved that aircraft carriers are capable enough to sink any battleship, any cruiser!

Chen Shaokuan swung his fist with force.

Success, success! Today's exercise has further verified the correctness of the president's and his own resolute development of aircraft carriers.

Wang Hengyue's mood was also excited. This is the first aircraft carrier of the Chinese Navy, and it is also the first exercise, and it has achieved such a great success!

"What if the enemy also uses planes to bomb this big ship?"

Just when there was jubilation on the aircraft carrier, Niu Liancheng suddenly asked an inopportune question.

Chen Shaokuan was stunned for a moment. Yes, although Niu Liancheng's words were harsh, they really raised the essence of the problem.

It's not just the Central Empire that has aircraft carriers!

The enemy also has aircraft carriers!

Wang Hengyue smiled at this time: "So we need to build a fleet dedicated to escorting aircraft carriers!" ”

He's a genius, and while others are cheering, he asks such sharp questions. Wang Hengyue thought in his heart, and said on his lips: ...,

"In order for an aircraft carrier to give full play to its combat effectiveness, it is not enough for an aircraft carrier to be equipped with a single aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft, but it is also necessary to equip a variety of surface ships, each performing its own duties, and jointly forming an aircraft carrier battle group with both offensive and defensive capabilities. The escort ships of the aircraft carrier battle group are mainly tasked with air defense and anti-submarine. About four to six escort ships are needed. And when fighting in the ocean, it is necessary to deploy attack nuclear submarines for regional anti-submarine, so as to maximize the power of the aircraft carrier! ”

Chen Shaokuan had a smile on his face, it turned out that the president had already considered this.

"Although the ship can project a large amount of air force, the defense capability of the ship itself is weak, so it needs to be protected by other ships." Wang Hengyue groaned and said: "The aircraft carrier itself has its own advantages and disadvantages, so although we have an aircraft carrier, it does not mean that this aircraft carrier has formed combat capability. As for the convoy, I have already asked the Admiralty to work on it. ”

Chen Shaokuan was silent there, and suddenly spit out two words softly from his mouth: "Thank you!" ”

"What?" Wang Hengyue didn't seem to hear clearly.

"I said, thank you, President." Chen Shaokuan was unusually sincere; "Thank you for helping me fulfill my naval dream, thank you for all your efforts to the Chinese Navy, it is the greatest honor of my life to serve under you!"

Wang Hengyue smiled faintly and did not answer.

Chen Shaokuan was only half right, and he was also honored to work with such a large group of outstanding officers, and the dream of a naval power could not be accomplished by himself, but by the efforts of everyone.

But in any case, I have already taken a big step myself! (Lying on the bear_ provided by no beginning)
