Chapter 351: The Aircraft Carrier That Is About to Set Sail
The United States is a young country, although the advantage of youth has made him less burdened by many ancient civilizations, but at the same time, in some things, it also lacks the necessary composure and calmness.
Of course, the United States is also a free country, and it can even be said that as long as you do not violate the law, you can do whatever you want, but its freedom is limited to this, and the real prison is actually the powerful power of money and the contempt and hierarchy hidden behind money. Blacks are respected, but this respect is not against the premise of white rule, and yellow people can also be treated kindly, of course, this kindness is also restricted by many things, this is not the hypocrisy of the United States, in fact, no matter in that country, the freedom of the people is actually extremely limited, but the United States uses this freedom to flaunt its own behavior, which is too hypocritical.
There are mysteries about when to talk about "democracy," to whom, and in what way.
The United States also has a choice when considering whether or not to carry out a "peaceful revolution" in a country, first of all, whether the current regime in the country is a regime that Americans want to see, and if it is a regime that suits the appetite of the United States, even if it is a slavery system, it is still democratic, and vice versa, it is another outcome. Second, whether the country is what the United States needs. No one but China will try to build a real democracy and peace in Africa, and God knows, there is probably nothing but sand. Democracy, human rights, just talk about the countries that need to be talked about, first, this country should be a threat to the United States, at least it seems to be a threat, and second. For the country to be profitable, of course, it is better to have the kind of visible interests.
It's not a coincidence. Li Lan has violated these actual actions of the United States under the flaunt of freedom from beginning to end.
As a young and impulsive country. Under the repeated moves of the United States, all of them flaunt their own great strength, and they are not obscure troop transfers, and every military movement is announced by the United States by the military, which not only hides some potential troop transfer moves, but also achieves deterrence. Tell all the countries in the world, especially Li Lan, that the United States is still strong. The military is still strong.
If you use such a move to surrender without a fight, it will naturally be perfect, and if you can't make the opponent surrender, you can also achieve a psychological shock to the ordinary civilians of the enemy country.
Are Somalis really intimidated? No, on the contrary, in the words of the Somalis, we have nothing, and naturally we are not afraid of anything, a cheap life. There is no fear of death.
In the face of a set of combination punches from the United States, Li Lan's reaction was to respond to all changes with the same attitude. With a high degree of centralization, Somalis who originally lived in southern cities have been deliberately relocated to northern cities. Keep the population as close as possible within the base's alert range.
In terms of military preparations, in addition to defensive strategic preparations, Li Lan also began to prepare for the departure of the aircraft carrier.
The Red Guard Corps already has two formed aircraft carrier battle groups. An increasingly perfect amphibious combat formation. These naval forces were strong in the event of a war. It is impossible to let them stay in the military port, and the aircraft carrier can only go to the ocean. Only then can we give full play to the combat effectiveness we should have. The navy that is nested at home is not the navy, and the warships are called batteries, and the aircraft carriers are called airfields, which are the most worthless.
The navy is an offensive branch of the armed forces, which is not suitable for defense in itself, especially the aircraft carrier fleet, and the deep ocean is their home.
For more than a year and almost two years, more than 3 million yuan of funds have been invested every day, and more than 200 million yuan of base funds have never stopped, and this has enabled Li Lan to have a sound two-aircraft carrier battle group.
A series of inputs such as personnel, ships, various types of carrier-based aircraft, fuel and ammunition, etc., are really expensive. According to the value of the base funds in real currency, Li Lan invested at least $20 billion in building the navy.
Fortunately, the naval personnel recruited from the base are very proficient in using these weapons and equipment, and they are like veterans who have served on the ship for many years.
This is also the most gratifying point for Li Lan, there is no need to put into training, and there is no need to run in, as long as there are weapons and soldiers, then combat effectiveness can be formed immediately. Of course, long-term training can also improve the degree of run-in between these soldiers and weapons, and long-term training can also improve the level of soldiers, although this is very slow, and it is not as fast as the actual combat promotion, but in peacetime, it is the only way to improve the level of soldiers except for training centers.
The combination of man and weapon is the best guarantee of combat effectiveness. In particular, naval soldiers should not only maintain their training during the voyage, but also ensure that they can have a comfortable living environment.
The base's first-class conventionally powered aircraft carrier, as the most powerful surface combat ship under the advanced authority, is also a huge steel city. The daily consumption is an extremely terrifying number, and the materials it carries, if it is maintained in a high-intensity war environment during the war, can only last for eight days at most.
In order to ensure combat effectiveness, it is necessary to carry out a key replenishment every five days, especially fuel and ammunition, and the supply is tens of thousands of tons at a time. The purpose of the fast combat support ship is to meet the fleet's travel, to achieve constant supply, and to ensure the combat effectiveness of the fleet.
At present, the combat ships in the two aircraft carrier battle groups are complete, and as soon as the supply ships are completed, the fleet can officially set sail.
Previously, the two combat support ships built by Li Lan had already entered the pre-completion of the launching and outfitting process, and in a few days, they would be able to join the aircraft carrier battle group. Of course, in order to meet the needs of the two-carrier battle group, in addition to the supply of arms and materials on the combat support ships, there must also be a large amount of fuel supply.
In addition to the self-sustaining power of the warship itself, the fuel supply of the fast support ship is also very important, which is the guarantee that the fleet can conduct operations overseas for a long time. It was also a source of food for the sailors.
In the ship manufacturing page in the base, there is only one combat support ship, and it is also the only combat support ship that Li Lan can build at present.
Fast Combat Support Ship: Surface Battleship Combat Support Unit, Construction Price - 15 Million Base Funds, Construction Time - 3 Months.
Note: The main combat mission of this support ship is to accompany the aircraft carrier formation at sea and provide a variety of supplies for the aircraft carrier formation. They carry a complete range of supplies, and can accompany the combat formation to sail and supply the combat ships in a timely manner. There are a total of 6 supply stations on the ship, half of each dry liquid cargo. The replenishment device adopts the standard horizontal replenishment system, which has fast replenishment speed and large replenishment volume, and can usually be replenished under 4~6 sea conditions, with high work efficiency. The ship is equipped with 4 10-ton cranes; 2 lifts to lift cargo from the storage room to the supply station; 2 vertical supply stations with 3 helicopters, helicopter platforms and hangars in the stern. Because the ship has to accompany the surface ship combat formation to carry out the mission, its speed requirements are high, the maximum speed of the ship can reach 26 knots, and the endurance speed is 22 knots.
Note: The ship has a standard displacement of more than 19,000 tons, a full load displacement of 55,000 tons, and can carry 30,000 tons of fuel, 4,000 tons of ammunition, 500 tons of frozen products, 400 tons of general cargo, and 200 tons of fresh water.
Special note: The ship also has a certain self-defense capability, one eight-mounted anti-aircraft missile launcher, two close-in defense phalanx systems, and advanced radar and combat systems.
Suggestion: The big guy has a big belly, and with it, the fleet is not afraid of starvation in the open sea.
Although the base only gave this warship with supply capability, Li Lan was not unhappy about it, but liked the supply ship given by the base very much. With huge carrying capacity and speed, as soon as this guy appears, he can instantly squeeze into the ranks of the most powerful supply ships in the world.
Of course, the guarantee of the real combat effectiveness of an aircraft carrier is the carrier-based aircraft, and the core combat strength of an aircraft carrier battle group is also a carrier-based aircraft. After all, an aircraft carrier is just a platform for sea planes to take off and land, and the source of combat effectiveness is fighter jets.
When the construction of the first aircraft carrier was completed, on the aircraft construction page on the control panel of the base, two aircraft carrier-based aircraft units, carrier-based early warning aircraft, and carrier-based fighters, appeared.
Wasp carrier-based aircraft: multi-purpose professional aircraft carrier carrier-based aircraft, construction price - 800,000 base funds, construction time seventy-two hours.
Description: This is a twin-engine heavy carrier-based aircraft, and its ultra-long combat radius and powerful offensive and air supremacy capabilities are its greatest features. The new design of the lifting device, landing gear, arresting hook and other systems enables the aircraft to achieve the flight characteristics required by the landing under the condition of maintaining excellent combat performance.
Performance: maximum take-off weight of 33 tons, practical ceiling of 20,000 meters, high-altitude and high-speed Mach 2.4, low-altitude and high-speed Mach 1.2, a 30-mm six-barreled aviation cannon, two vector propulsion engines, active phased array radar, parameter measurement subsystem, data processing subsystem, attack display system, subsystem, fly-by-wire control flight control system, integrated fire control system.
Payload capacity: Externally capable of carrying 12 tons of ammunition. There are a total of 9 external pylons, and the two wingtip pylons can each hold 1 air-to-air missile; The two outer wing pylons can carry air-to-surface or air-to-air weapons, including air-to-air missiles, anti-ship missiles and, air-to-surface missiles and high-speed anti-radiation missiles; Two inner wing pylons can be equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks or air-to-ground weapons; Two pylons located under the nacelle can carry missile or laser trackers, attack effect cameras, and pods for forward-looking infrared detection systems, etc.; Pylons located in the centerline of the fuselage can be used to hang drop tanks or weapons.
Special note: This is a carrier-based aircraft with very strong comprehensive performance, with a variety of professional models to choose from, with all-weather and all-sea combat capabilities, advanced electronic equipment, and powerful attack capabilities, is its biggest feature.
Suggestion: As a very powerful carrier-based aircraft, look forward to the moment when it and the aircraft carrier conquer the sea of stars. (To be continued......)
