Chapter 1644: Hawaiian Fortress
With the arrival of Zhou Shuzheng, the number of aircraft in Hawaii has reached a certain level, which is already enough, but some of the so many aircraft are equipped with the Air Force for the first time, especially the anti-submarine aircraft of Zhou Shuzheng, which is an aircraft with a unique role, and it is necessary to try more.

Zhou Shu is the last few batches of planes, after them, there are at least 3 batches, about 120 planes landed, after they settle down, this airport can start official operation, almost 7 flight groups will stay here, at least 600 aircraft, is the island of Hawaii, the largest number of aircraft, but also the largest variety of airports, the future mission, will be more diverse.
This airport stationed in the Seahawk aircraft, is not the largest of all airports in Hawaii, the entire Oahu, more than 500 square kilometers, the scale is relatively large, suitable as an airport There are many places, even if the longest runway is 5 kilometers, but it is not the full length of Oahu, relying on the geographical advantage, three aviation bases have been formed, the largest air base, about three percent of Oahu, almost 15 square kilometers so large, that is the base camp of strategic bombers, the future 6000 meters of runway, Almost exclusively for take-off and landing bombers.
The whole Hawaii, in addition to the three major air force stations, there are two large-scale military camps, two ports, one civilian, one military, military port, can dock a maximum of 70,000 tons of warships, not only accommodate a large tonnage, the degree of modernization is also very high, and safe enough, because in the location of the two ports, there are large-scale land batteries, 16-inch caliber, increased body caliber, and have a certain height of artillery, corresponding to any gunboat has a huge threat, not to mention the role of aircraft.
However, on the Oahu side, so many air bases, army bases, and even naval bases have been built, even so, the utilization rate of the entire Oahu is only about 30%, and the total area is only 150 square kilometers, you know, the entire Hawaiian island of Oahu is 500 square kilometers.
Hawaii is a place with beautiful scenery, in later generations, Yang Yuanzhao once came to vacation, I like the scenery here, the temperature is more suitable all year round, neither too high, nor more than 30 degrees in summer, and not lower than 22 degrees in winter, basically a relatively high temperature.
It's just that in this time and space, he doesn't have the time to think about this, he is the president of China, the leader of 30 million square kilometers of land, all his time is dedicated to the cause of China, Hawaii is very important, it is in the hands of the United States, almost a strategic island picked up for nothing, Yang Yuanzhao only has kung fu to worry about whether he is safe enough, the problem of protection, there is no time to care whether the scenery is beautiful or not, whether it will be a large-scale construction of military facilities, and change the use of Hawaii.
At this moment, all the planning is on the role of the military, and even the sugar industry, which used to be the most pillar industry in Hawaii, has been put aside and is going all out to develop the military. Hawaii, from the Chinese occupation to the present, almost a year, under China's powerful construction ability to turn decay into magic, has changed its appearance, Hawaii is one of the most important fulcrums of China in the Pacific region, in terms of strategic role, even above Guam, and as the closest place to the United States, Hawaii is only 4,000 kilometers away from the west coast of the United States, and strategic bombers can even cover the west coast of the United States.
It is impossible for the United States to know that China's strategic bombers have such powerful capabilities, they only know that 4000 kilometers, for a fleet cruising at 25 kilometers, at most 160 hours, can reach the west coast of the United States, only 7 days, which is not impossible to achieve for cross-sea operations.
With the support of China, Japan crossed thousands of kilometers and landed directly in Alaska, directly threatening the mainland of the American continent. Because according to this direction of development, after China has really defended Hawaii, it is almost natural that it will attack the US mainland, and this is not a diversion from anyone's goal.
Now, the United States more or less, for giving up Hawaii has some regrets, only many discerning people know that it was impossible not to give up Hawaii at that time, the United States after the fleet was destroyed, almost no ability to keep Hawaii, even if it resisted, it was only a death struggle, at most the losses of the Chinese side increased, but Hawaii will still be lost, but China will waste more time, and even after paying a certain price, it will still not be able to keep Hawaii.
In the eyes of the United States, Hawaii is isolated overseas, and the United States is only 4,000 kilometers away from Hawaii, and its control over Hawaii is not as good as that of the United States, even Alaska.
The United States' wish is good, but he doesn't know how much China attaches importance to Hawaii, as two super A-class islands, is China's focus in the southwest waters of the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii and Guam, the two islands, are also with the full support of China, crazy construction, through some efforts, Americans more or less know a little bit about the situation in Hawaii, Hawaii is changing with each passing day, so that the United States is helpless at the same time, but also secretly vigilant, don't when, will be calculated by China's miraculous construction capabilities.
With the full support, China's strong transportation capacity and construction capacity are undoubtedly revealed, these islands suddenly changed their appearance, in a year's time, the initial construction of the port was completed, both islands can dock more than 10,000 tons of cargo ships, and reach the degree of daily throughput capacity of 300,000 tons, converted, the annual throughput can reach 10 million tons, in later generations, this is not a very strong port, but in this era, it is good, the most important thing is that in the construction time, the throughput is largeOnce the construction is completed, it is impossible for these two islands, which are mainly military ports, to have such a large volume, because there are only a few hundred or thousands of square kilometers of islands, and there is not such a large market and processing and production capacity.
That is to say, the current Hawaii and Guam are almost for the war, as for the things after the war, it is not in the scope of consideration, even if the investment in Hawaii is large, China is also willing, because Hawaii will become the most important gateway to China, as long as Hawaii is not lost, the flank of the entire western Pacific Ocean will be completely protected, even if the United States can secretly break through the defense line of Hawaii, it will not have much impact, all the raid fleets are in China's carrier-based aircraft, Even in the pursuit of aircraft carrier formations, unless China loses all its aircraft carriers.
This is almost impossible, the performance of China's aircraft carriers, the performance of carrier-based aircraft, and even what is being done now, to install radars on reconnaissance aircraft, although it is not ******** this kind, the aircraft carrier has the largest number of aircraft, but the medium-sized aircraft that can take off on the aircraft carrier is a multiplier of the aircraft carrier's combat effectiveness, as long as there are three or four aircraft, along the general direction, about 150 kilometers apart, at least 450 kilometers to 600 kilometers wide area, the aircraft carrier formation will have nothing to hide.
When China's dive bombers and torpedo planes flew above their heads, they didn't even know where the attack came from, because China's planes had advanced performance, and when they were keeping secrets and flying to the limit, no one could guess that the engines used by China would exceed the range of other engines by about twice the range, that is, in the case that ordinary planes would attack within a range of 300 kilometers, Chinese planes could attack at a distance of 500 kilometers or even 600 kilometers.
The combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier comes from the aircraft, although the combat radius of more than 300 kilometers is enough to ensure safety, and it will not be like shelling each other, the tip of the needle will attack like Maimang, but the aircraft carrier also has a combat radius, and the combat radius of one side is higher than that of the other, if it is only about tens of kilometers, then with the help of the aircraft carrier's maneuver, reducing the range of the carrier-based aircraft when returning can solve the problem of insufficient combat radius, but from 300 kilometers to 600 kilometers, more than 300 kilometers of combat radius, It is no longer something that can be solved by an aircraft carrier, and the aircraft carrier has to sail for more than 6 hours with all its might, and it may not be able to have 3 hours from the departure of the carrier-based aircraft to the end of the attack, and this time of walking 100 kilometers is already considered a high-speed driving of the aircraft carrier.
The three major air bases, in a year's time, have begun to take shape, in addition to the longest runway of 6000 meters, has not yet been finally completed, the other 15 runways of more than 1500 meters, have been completely completed, part of the runway above 3000 meters, can take off and land strategic bombers, not only anti-submarine aircraft stationed, strategic bombers are also stationed in 80 aircraft, and anti-submarine aircraft are different from 2 strategic bombers is a squadron, 4 is a brigade, With 80 planes equivalent to a division, this will be Hawaii's most critical strike force.
In addition to the construction of three major air bases on Oahu, which can accommodate up to 3,000 aircraft, some field airfields have also been built in other islands of Hawaii, although most of these islands are volcanic islands, which are not suitable for permanent forces, but far away from the volcano, two four-runway backup airfields are arranged, and some soldiers are stationed, which will be carried out defensive operations in the event that the main airfield is attacked, as part of the diversified defense.
China has built 15 runways of more than 1,500 meters in Hawaii, 40 or 50 runways of various sizes, which can simultaneously carry out the take-off of 100 fighter planes and the take-off of 40 fighter planes and 15 strategic bombers, and the delivery capacity is quite powerful; Oahu, which is more than 500 kilometers away, has not only built a large-scale military port, which can station three battle groups including aircraft carriers and battleships, but also has a powerful air force.
Dozens of runs, divided into three major air bases, can accommodate up to 3,000 aircraft, after the major airports are put into use, a total of 16 flight regiments, nearly 1,000 aircraft settled in advance, including various types of aircraft, almost armed to the teeth, the future follow-up personnel and aircraft will be stationed one after another, reaching about 1,800 standing numbers, and only after the outbreak of the Hawaiian naval battle, will it increase to 2,200, depending on whether the situation increases.
At this time, the air base project, mainly the runway has been successfully built, and some ancillary facilities are almost the same, what needs to be done at present is to dig a hangar, not the usual inside, the kind of semi-submersible hangar at the airport, those are just used in peacetime, the whole fortress base, is to be able to withstand a sudden attack, although it is said that China's radar reliability is very high, but Yang Yuanzhao has previously proposed that to build a base in Hawaii, at least to resist more than 900 sorties of aircraft, sudden attack, After a devastating blow to an important target, it still has the ability to counterattack and defend strongly.
This must be from the degree of protection, in the selection, the choice of hangar, just near the location of a mountain range, the Hawaiian mountain range, is a stone mountain, digging down the mountain range, at least the upper layer will have a thickness of more than 300 meters of rock formation, not to mention in this era, even in the 21st century, facing the threat of global nuclear war, it is absolutely safe.
A mountain range is quite huge, there are many places that can be used as hangars, and at least 11 hangars of different sizes will be excavated in different locations, and on top of the hangar, there are at least 300 meters to 400 meters thick rocks, and considerable reinforcement has been carried out, for example, several layers of pure steel defense have been built, even if there is an earthquake of magnitude 8 or more, volcanic eruptions, it will not be able to destroy the main structure of this underground hangar, as long as the hangar excavation is completed, it will become the strongest fortress here, In the future, at least 1,500 aircraft of various types will be stationed, which will account for more than half of the total number of aircraft parked in Hawaii.
You know, at present, for China, the fleet-level aircraft carrier, generally accommodating 120 to 140 aircraft, is not a fixed wing, is a folding wing, such an aircraft combat capability is limited, the entire Hawaii, will eventually accommodate about 3000 aircraft, not only all are land-based, powerful aircraft, but also include more than 450 heavy aircraft, these aircraft not only have a combat radius of more than 4700 kilometers, the bomb load is also very terrifying, is the overlord of the sky, He is the controller of air supremacy, and to a certain extent, his deterrent power is quite strong.
