When it did not enter the era of aircraft, the concept of aircraft carrier did not really exist, his importance was not highlighted, China with the help of Germany, saved the airship, through the airship bombing method, so that the airship became an important force in the air, as long as there is a sight, the shell can be more accurate to the ground, the stability of the airship hovering for a long time and the huge bomb load, has become a natural advantage, in the era of the aircraft has just appeared, it has become the advantage of the airship for the crushing of the aircraft.

Units in the air, one side is strong, it will inevitably suppress the role of the other side, homogeneous things, generally speaking, after determining a research direction, another direction, must be weakened a little, historically, airships from the beginning of the appearance, it is difficult to enter the military field, huge airbags like time bombs, in peacetime cargo can also be transported, in the war-torn battlefield, that is a time bomb, when China and Russia were in a war, China used a fraction of Russia's airships, Just kill the opponent's airship one by one, which is the difference between using helium and using hydrogen.

Helium, multi-layer armor, innerline, semi-solid structure, the emergence of these, increased the safety performance of the airship, although it is not particularly reliable, but with the role he plays, a little unreliable has little to do with it, in an acceptable range, but the Chinese concern with the airship, to some extent, weakens the role of the aircraft, in this era, the aircraft is far less valued than the airship, the same is the air use, attaches importance to the airship, naturally, will ignore the aircraft, The planes entered the army, but they only took on tasks that airships did not bear, and their development was even worse than in their previous lives.

In the middle, the United States is one of the most affected, the fastest development of aircraft, is in the United States, after the Wright brothers invented the airplane, the aircraft has become a tool for enthusiasts, popularized in the whole world, historically, the United States is also a large number of use of aircraft, vigorously develop aircraft, has been one of the countries in the world that uses more aircraft, all aspects of the system are very comprehensive, but this era, because of too much attention to airships, they do not invest much in this, airplanes are just toys for enthusiasts than the beginning, It's a little better.

But in all fairness, even in World War II, the world's strongest aircraft, the United States rarely occupies a place in it, in World War II, the United States with the help of the Solomon Islands, the Coral Sea sea battle, the Japanese army out of Australia, with the help of Midway, attracted the Japanese army into Hawaii and Guam, if at that time, the United States in Guam and Hawaii, deployed strategic bombers similar to China, Japan's aircraft carrier battle group, did not dare to such rampant activities, to die one by one, The power possessed by road-based aircraft is definitely not comparable to that of aircraft carrier-based aircraft.

For the Air Force, the use of aircraft carriers, far from reaching a limit, and even for a long time, the world's navies are taking detours, aircraft carriers and battleships, that is, after World War II, the huge role of aircraft carriers has been proved by ironclad facts, and for a long period of time, the advantages of aircraft carriers and air forces have been brought into full play, which has formed the views of later generations, in World War II, both sides of the Pacific War, Both Japan and the United States hesitate and unconsciously use aircraft carriers as the main force, and sometimes, they often make mistakes.

For example, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto 56 gave full play to the outstanding role of the aircraft carrier and achieved the glory of the Pearl Harbor sneak attack, but then, in the Battle of Midway Island not long after, he took the battleship as the main force and separated the aircraft carrier battle group, so that the U.S. military seized the opportunity to win the Battle of Midway under each breakthrough, which became a turning point in the Pacific War. The glory of the active attack.

The advantage of the traverser is vividly demonstrated in the battle line above the aircraft carrier battle group, and China, under the impetus of Yang Yuanzhao, has instilled this point of view in this era. How powerful the effect is, even the Fantasy class, the world's most powerful perfect battleship, has been modified and positioned as an escort warship of the aircraft carrier battle group, one can imagine how clear China's thinking is, but in order to ensure China's unique advantages, the aircraft carrier battle group will not be put into use in the early stage of the war, without sufficient benefits.

The core of the aircraft carrier lies in the carrier-based aircraft, the role of the aircraft carrier, is how to provide more carrier-based aircraft, how to have a greater support force, and how to release and recover enough carrier-based aircraft in the same time, as for the rest, it is really not very important, even air defense, with better, it doesn't matter if you don't, while taking into account the carrier-based aircraft, you can increase a part of the air defense, so that the aircraft carrier itself has the ability to protect itself, even if one is not arranged, it doesn't matter, in China's design concept, The aircraft carrier was originally a weapon focused exclusively on attack, and the protection was handed over to the other warships in the aircraft carrier battle group.

At present, among China's aircraft carrier battle group, there is a warship, his status is even higher than the battleship that will be incorporated into the aircraft carrier battle group in the future, it is a defense and control frigate specially set up for air defense, all of which are more than 9,000 tons, almost enhancing air defense to the extreme, and even in a sense, he is specially designed for air defense, among aircraft carriers, just considering certain aspects, so that there is no way to fight back without being hit by aircraft, only this dense array focusing on air defense, Space for radar command and modification is also reserved, and such warships are an important protection for future aircraft carrier battle groups.

A 9,000-ton class, using China's power system, all aspects of the arrangement of the relatively compact warship, he can be loaded with at least hundreds of various kinds of prevention and control weapons, at present, with the progress of military skills, China's anti-aircraft machine guns have been from 35 mm, gradually to 66 mm, 75 mm, and even 88 mm forward, the caliber is getting bigger and bigger, the height and power of the deal is also increasing, especially the large-caliber, 88 mm anti-aircraft guns, and can even be made into large fragmentation attacks, against the early days, Aircraft without armor protection, the lethality of fragments is strong enough, that is the real dozen pieces, there is such a battleship, in the vicinity of the aircraft carrier, it is enough to ensure the air defense advantage of the aircraft carrier.

This is named the city-class air defense cruiser, as a companion warship of the aircraft carrier, in addition to air defense, will not install any kind of artillery, the main gun is not necessary, this cruiser is not the pursuit of artillery suppression, the installation of the main gun does not have much effect, but will occupy the necessary space, as for the destroyer and light cruiser, anti-aircraft guns flat fire is the strongest weapon, generally unprotected or semi-protective light cruisers, simply can not resist the attack of anti-aircraft guns flat firing 88 mm armor-piercing shells.

At present, in the laboratory, the project of more than 100 mm anti-aircraft guns has been established, but the progress is slow, more than 100 mm, in the army, it has been called heavy artillery, even in the navy, it is also an important auxiliary artillery fire, anti-aircraft guns for the height requirements, at least to be able to hit 8000 meters in the air, this range requirements are even more powerful than the main gun, at present China has a certain foundation for anti-aircraft guns, but the material and anti-aircraft guns themselves theory, the emergence of mature anti-aircraft guns still needs time.

Now, Wang Guangya is a little depressed with the aircraft carrier battle group, falling behind the main fleet about 150 nautical miles, for ordinary battleships, such a distance, enough for the two sides to divide into two sections, but for the aircraft carrier battle group, it is the best position, the aircraft carrier's combat radius is about 350 kilometers, 150 nautical miles not only to ensure safety, but also to ensure that at a critical moment, can release fighters.

Wang Guangya was a little depressed at this time, from the battle in the Japanese waters, it can be known, the possibility of them coming in handy is almost equal to zero, Japan's defense of the islands that are close at hand, and even the islands with more than 20,000 people, is almost equal to zero, in this era, unless it is an important strategic point at the level of Malacca, the Suez Canal, and the Panama Canal, there will be enough protection, set up land-based batteries, and leave the islands, and protect them casually to prevent them from being attacked by pirates, and it is impossible to fully protect them.

But in the era of no aircraft, any island, need a fleet as a support, otherwise, it is impossible to defend it for a long time, the four core waterways, China captured two, Malacca is under the strong force of the Scheer fleet, directly wiped out most of the Entente's warships in Asia, and finally landed strongly, using Lanfang's huge army, the final capture, as for Panama, it was under the powerful bombardment of the fantasy level, directly exploded.

These two have proved that under absolute superiority, the defense of any island is flawed, and a strong attack can be captured, and in this case, China has made careful preparations and sent a large number of warships, which is enough to take down these islands before the United States has no heavy troops.

Wang Guangya also knows that at least before Hawaii, he may not be able to get much to fight, and in the battle that is easy to obtain, let the aircraft carrier risk being discovered, and the possibility of joining the war is almost equal to zero, Wang Guangya has no choice, there is no real war, but it can be trained, part of the troops are vigilant, and the rest have carried out a series of training, which is regarded as an armed patrol, and by the way, the proficiency of all soldiers is increased, so that it is slightly worse than the real sword and gun battle, It was the best he could think of.
