Chapter 291: Training at Sea (I)
"Oh." General Chen Jiliang's face was slightly red, and he said with some embarrassment, "I'm so happy." That's right, after the loading of radar equipment was completed, the Grand Fleet went to sea for sea trials. With detailed instructions and excellent officers and men studying carefully, the entire fleet quickly mastered the use and maintenance of this advanced weapon. As for the maintenance, there are no major problems. During this period of time, there have been many large and small failures, all of which were repaired by officers and men through manuals. ”
"Hmm." Gao Yang nodded, frowned, and said, "How do you feel after using it?" ”
Speaking of this, General Chen Jiliang's face immediately turned like a flower, and he said with a smile: "It's really good!" The first is to spot enemies from a distance. During tests at sea, the radar was able to detect enemy ships at great distances, day or night. Compared with the previous manual observation, the effect is good, and it is not a star and a half. ”
After a pause, he sorted out his words, and continued, "Especially at night, this detection effect is decisive. With the help of such radars, we can strike at the enemy from positions where the enemy's shelling is extremely inefficient, and the hit rate is very high! The night battles of the Grand Fleet are invincible! ”
"Hmm." Gao Yang had a satisfied smile on his face and said softly, "What about the shelling effect?" Tell me about this. ”
"Yes, sir." General Chen Jiliang took the thick information from the adjutant and handed it to Gao Yang. "This is the shooting training record of the Grand Fleet for this time. The difference is very noticeable in comparison with the use of a radar fire control system and the absence of radar. ”
Gao Yang flipped through the documents in his hand casually and said softly, "You tell me in detail, I don't know much about these data." ”
"Yes, sir." Chen Jiliang hurriedly stepped forward to explain to Gao Yang, "When the radar fire control system is not in use, the shooting training hit rate is about three to five percent. This is still the result of shooting at a fixed target. Of course, the main reason is that the officers and men have not mastered the battleship for a long time. The previous training was not strict, and as long as the training is strengthened in the future, the shooting effect will definitely improve quickly. ”
"Hmm. What happens after use? Gao Yang had already seen that Chen Jiliang was too excited, and he was very satisfied with the radar, and he didn't explain it in detail for a long time.
However, Gao Yang was not in a hurry, and he was also very happy to see that his subordinates were very satisfied with the radar. This proves that he has a good eye and that the things he buys are useful.
"Ahem." General Chen Jiliang found that he seemed to be going off topic again, his dark face was slightly red, and he coughed a little embarrassed to cover it up.
Sorting out his mood, he looked at Gao Yang and said seriously, "After turning on the radar, the hit rate has been greatly improved after shooting according to intelligence control." When shooting at a fixed target, the hit rate can reach up to 15% or more! We couldn't believe it when this hit rate came out! This means that theoretically, a salvo of the Dingyuan must hit at least one shell! When shooting at moving targets, the hit rate will drop. But it's already a very good result. ”
"It's a high hit rate." Gao Yang nodded and said. But I was thinking in my heart, this is still an old-fashioned observation and sighting command radar, if it is installed with full computer control, automatic calculation of ballistics, and correction of deviation of the fire control radar must not scare you out? If it weren't for the fact that no one could play with a computer, I'd get it for you.
"Sir, where did you get this superweapon? It's really amazing. I don't know which great inventor has researched a good thing, but I really want to thank him in person. The strategic value of the radar is even more important than the launching of the dreadnought! General Chen Jiliang, who had fallen into a state of excitement, said with enthusiasm on his face.
Seeing that General Chen, who was already dozens of years old in front of him, was as excited as a child who had gotten a brand new toy, Gao Yang twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly. He said, "You don't have to ask about these things. Remember one thing. ”
Gao Yang stretched out his hand and patted General Chen's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Under no circumstances, all warships equipped with radar must not fall into the hands of the enemy. Not a single screw! Do you understand? We must not allow this advanced weapon to fall into anyone's hands! ”
General Chen's expression was grim, and he said in a deep voice, "Yes." Sir! ”
Gao Yang nodded, turned around and continued to watch the naval formation outside.
Outside, a hazy drizzle was falling in the sky. Under the slightly dim sky, the misty drizzle drifted away with the gentle sea breeze, and fell on the mighty warships that broke the waves.
"Spring is coming." Gao Yang put down the binoculars. Walked out of the bridge and outside. Close your eyes gently and breathe deeply, feeling the faint moist scent of the gentle drizzle falling on your face.
"Yes. Sir. Spring has arrived. General Chen, who was following him, replied softly.
After a while, wait until the military uniform on your body is slightly soaked. Gao Yangcai slowly opened his eyes, looked at the aircraft carrier Zhiyuan looming in the hazy drizzle in the distance, and asked softly, "In this kind of weather, aviation training can't be done, right?" ”
"Sir, it won't be long before the fleet leaves this rain cloud. Aviation training will be conducted in accordance with the training plan. Do you need a break? General Chen bowed slightly and said.
Gao Yang turned his head to look at him, a chuckle naturally crossed the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's okay, remember to call me after the aviation training starts." With that, he turned back to the bridge and walked towards the captain's rest pod, which had already been prepared.
Zhilu Dao Gao Yang came to see aviation training, who would dare to officially start if Gao Yang was not watching from the sidelines? General Chen, who followed Gao Yang back to the bridge, came to the chart and began to calculate how long it would be before the fleet could leave the rain cloud range.
Pushing open the hatch and walking into the rest cabin, Gao Yang's face immediately sank when he looked at this luxuriously furnished and spacious rest cabin.
"Don't be angry, it's not what you think." Just when Gao Yang was about to get angry and call General Chen to scold, Yuan Dian suddenly said loudly.
"Huh?" Gao Yang was slightly stunned, and then asked, "What do you mean?" Do you know what I'm thinking? ”
"You don't have to guess, you wonder how the Navy would dare to be so wasteful and make such a luxurious rest cabin on the flagship. Right? Yuan Dian said softly.
Fingers stroked over the intricately carved bust and looked at the beautiful oil paintings hanging on the walls around them, the bar counter with a dazzling array of high-end drinks in the corner, and the shiny military boots on the handmade camel hair carpet. It is completely the standard of decoration of a top hotel.
Gao Yang's face was serious, and he said with a cold expression: "What are you doing with such a rest cabin on a warship for combat?" I just thought that it was at most a rest cabin with a separate bathroom and toilet, but I didn't expect that the luxurious decoration here is even better than the star hotel! ”
"I really know about this." Yuan Dian heard Gao Yang's anger and said, "It wasn't your subordinates who made it. The battleship had previously served as the flagship of the Royal Navy's home fleet, and this compartment was left by the British. ”
"Huh?" Gao Yang was slightly stunned and said, "Then what do you want to leave these expensive decorations for?" Are the British so generous? Also, Chen Jiliang, do they usually use it themselves? Navy officers and sailors live crammed into cramped sailor cabins, and these generals live in such luxurious single cabins? If it's true, I'll take them all to court-martial! ”
Gao Yang is very disgusted with this kind of thing, if Chen Jiliang really did this, he will definitely be pushed to the end by Gao Yang. Even Chief Lin, who is far away in the northern capital, can't run away!
"First of all, about the British, do you think these works of art are expensive? Actually, you're looking 90 years from now! Ninety years later, these works of art are worth a lot, but they are just as they are now. The British stayed only to look good. There was a hint of a smile in his tone.
After Gao Yang walked to the bar and poured himself a glass of whiskey, Yuan continued, "I already scanned this cabin before you came in. Apart from regular cleaning, there is no sign of habitation at all. This was originally the place where the British prepared for their king and important ministers, and this is where you can live. ”
The corners of Gao Yang's eyebrows jumped slightly, and after taking a sip of whiskey, he said in a low voice, "This kind of thing can't be learned from the British." When I get back, I'll tear it down, and I'll take all these works with me. Well, the carpet is good, take it back and use it. ”
"What you say doesn't match who you are at all." The origin said with a smile and a smile.
"Identity? Hehe. Gao Yang shook his head slightly, took out a cigarette, and lit it. Holding a wine glass, he leaned quietly on the bar, his eyes slightly distracted, and he didn't know what to think again.
It wasn't until the cigarette burned out that Gao Yang came to his senses, raised his head and drank the whiskey, snuffed out the cigarette, and then took off his coat and prepared for bed. During this time, I have been running around and working non-stop, and I have long been tired and choked.
Lying on the soft goose down bed, holding a warm and comfortable quilt, Gao Yang soon fell asleep.
A few hours later, General Chen Jiliang personally came to invite Gao Yang to lunch. General Chen reported that the fleet had sailed out of the rain cloud area and that aviation training would begin after lunch.
It took great perseverance for Gao Yang to resist the temptation of the soft, sunny-smelling bed. Turning over and sitting on the edge of the bed, feeling the warm sunlight coming through the cabin window, he sighed lightly, and reluctantly put on his coat and went to the officer's cafeteria for lunch.
Chicken wings in sauce, black pepper beef tenderloin vegetable salad, dessert. Gao Yang was stunned to see that there was a table full of exquisite meals in the officer's cafeteria, except that there was no red wine, it was exactly the same as eating in a top restaurant.
Gao Yang was the only one in the entire restaurant, and even General Chen Jiliang was standing outside the cabin waiting.
After a moment of silence, Gao Yang shook his head slightly, stepped to sit on the chair, looked at the table full of delicacies, and sighed slightly.
"Do you want to take them all to court-martials again?" Origin asked.
Gao Yang picked up the knife and fork and said softly, "I just feel very lonely. I finally understand the meaning of the phrase "It's cold in the heights". I don't even have friends on this side of the target plane. (To be continued......)
