Sajiting went to the bookshelf and picked up two books and put them in Tan Renhao's hands. Tan Renhao was slightly stunned, and found that one was "The Influence of Sea Power on History" ("The Theory of Sea Power"). The other is "Air Supremacy". Both books look a bit shabby, and it seems that Marshal Saditin often went over them.

"At that time, the American Mahan put forward the idea of 'sea power' and summarized the relevant theories. As a result, after that, the world's great powers began to compete for sea power, and in the following hundred years, the status of sea power was continuously improved, becoming an important basis for determining the outcome of the war and the strength of the country. Saditin's words were calm, "After World War I, the Italian Duhé put forward the idea of 'air supremacy', and believed that the purpose of war could be achieved through bombing, forcing the enemy to surrender, and so on. Although I still do not dare to fully agree with this view, Du Hei's theory actually conforms to two important laws in the development of war. ”

Tan Renhao glanced at Sajiting, of course he wanted to know what the two rules mentioned by Sajiting were.

"The two laws of war are nothing more than defending oneself and destroying the enemy. In other words, defense and attack. Sajetin smiled slightly, "The strength of defense determines whether you can protect your own safety, and the strength of your attack determines whether you can defeat the enemy." Of course, the two are actually interchangeable in many cases, for example, in some specific environments, attack power can make up for the shortcomings of defense, and defense power can also exert greater attack power. However, when simplifying to the weapons used in war, whether a new weapon can meet the requirements of war and whether it is more advanced than the old weapon is embodied in these two points. ”

Tan Renhao nodded, in fact, his theory course in the Naval Academy was the worst, and he was the only subject that only got a hypothyroid score.

"The general view is that attack power is more important than defense power to a large extent, so let's talk about attack power first." Sajiting didn't give Tan Renhao a chance to speak, "The main manifestation of attack power is 'fast, accurate, and ruthless'. Fast enough to make the opponent defenseless, accurate enough to hit the enemy's vital points, ruthless enough to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and far enough to make the enemy unable to fight back. Looking at the development of naval weapons and equipment, in fact, they all follow this four-character principle, and the appearance of any new type of equipment will improve its attack power in these four aspects. ”

Tan Renhao quickly understood that although the "four-character principle" mentioned by Sajiting was simple, it contained the most important elements in the offense.

"In terms of defense, it's even simpler. First of all, it's best to make it impossible for the enemy to detect you, so that you won't be attacked. If you are spotted by an enemy, it is better not to be hit by them, so that you can also avoid danger. If you've already been hit by an enemy, it's best to avoid deadly parts. Of course, in the end, if the lethal parts are exposed under the enemy's gun, it is better to add a layer of heavy armor on top so that the enemy cannot kill you. Sajiting's gaze fell on Tan Renhao, "Colonel, you should understand now, right?" ”

Tan Renhao was stunned. "Marshal, that's why you think aircraft carriers will replace battleships?"

Sajiting nodded slightly. "First of all, the strike of an aircraft carrier is very long, and it can strike from hundreds of kilometers away. Secondly, the speed of aircraft carrier-based aircraft is much faster than that of battleships, thirdly, the bombers hit more than the main guns of battleships, and fourthly, the power of bombs and torpedoes is not less than that of battleships' main guns. And in the end, the aircraft carrier can launch an attack completely outside the enemy battleship, and does not give the battleship a chance to get close at all, so what threat will it be? ”

Tan Renhao laughed, in fact, this is the reason why he firmly stood on the side of the "aircraft carrier faction".

"Perhaps, I am not the first to recognize that the aircraft carrier, a new battleship, has the ability to replace the battleship. However, I am sure that someone will prove it. Sajeting gestured at Tan Renhao, "And you, you young officers of the Imperial Navy, will prove this with your actions." Colonel, in fact, you have one more shortcoming. ”

Tan Renhao was taken aback, and immediately laughed awkwardly.

"You still don't have enough self-confidence. However, I am sure that you will soon make up for this shortcoming, and when you prove the status of the aircraft carrier with actual results on the battlefield, I believe that you will find a reason for self-confidence at the same time. Sajiting sighed, "Do a good job, in fact, I have always believed in you, Liao Hanxiang also believes in you, everyone around you believes in you, then, you should also have confidence in yourself, believe in yourself, in order to defeat the enemy." ”

Tan Renhao hurriedly strategized, knowing that the marshal was sending off guests. "Marshal, I will have confidence in myself."

Sajting closed his eyes, and when Tan Renhao walked to the door, he said: "Colonel, I believe that the next time I see you, you will already be wearing the epaulettes of Venus, and I am waiting for the news of your triumph." ”

Tan Renhao stopped, then nodded slightly and left the marshal's study. Although he only talked with Sajetin for just over twenty minutes, he found confidence here, and gained confidence in defeating the enemy from an old man who had been through a hundred battles, had turned the tide and helped the Empire State Building and the general tilt.

Two days later, Tan Renhao arrived at the Zhoushan Naval Headquarters. Nie Renfeng has been officially promoted to the rank of naval marshal and has become the commander of the navy. The chief of staff of the Navy was transferred back from the Fourth Fleet by Nie Renfeng, 42-year-old Rear Admiral Gan Yongxing, and of course, he was also promoted to admiral at the same time.

Nie Renfeng did not arrange Tan Renhao to go to the fleet, nor did he let him stay in the naval staff. The first thing Nie Renfeng did after taking office was not to plan a counterattack against Japan, but to reorganize the Imperial Navy. If Sajiting and Jiang Bangguo were replaced, they would definitely encounter great resistance, but the reorganization plan proposed by Nie Renfeng was not opposed by many people at all. Now, in the navy, almost all the officers and generals below the rank of lieutenant general are students trained by Nie Renfeng, and the students naturally will not oppose the principal. And the position that Nie Renfeng left for Tan Renhao was the director of the newly established Naval Equipment Development Department, a position that Tan Renhao had never thought of. However, it wouldn't be long before Tan Renhao knew that Nie Renfeng's arrangement was the most suitable position for him at that time.
