, Renheguo and the United States have coincidentally put defense in place. [Full text reading] also has to be chosen

According to the international situation at the time of the four wars, even if the war broke out in the past year, that is, the second phase of the reduction of the "London Treaty" was successfully completed, the Republic and the United States would reduce the number of nuclear warheads. The total amount will be reduced to about a wild mouth, and the strategic delivery vehicles will be reduced to about persuasion, so that the strategic strike capabilities of the two countries will be within the upper limit of the interception capability of the other side's strategic defense system, but from a strategic point of view, ensuring the security of the homeland first and then considering striking the opponent is certainly the only choice for the Republic and the US authorities. In other words, if even the security of the homeland is not guaranteed. Even if you can defeat or even destroy your opponent. Nor can it be won. In fact, this is the main reason why it is unlikely that a world war will break out before the second western year, after all, no one can be the ultimate victor under the premise of mutually assured destruction.

The problem is that this is not a good thing for military strategists on both sides, especially senior generals.

When determining the direction of strategic exhibition. Pei Chengyi has repeatedly stressed that even if more attention must be paid to defense, it should also be actively defensive, that is, tactical counterattacks should be the mainstay, rather than passive defense.

The situation in the United States is similar. In his stunned years, Stark, who left the Pentagon, mentioned it in a special interview with Ganggang TV. In future wars, defense will be the main factor in victory, but the United States absolutely cannot give up the initiative because of this, and only through active defense can it defeat its opponent. In terms of Stark's relationship with Dudgway, this can also be seen as Dudgway's military theory, after all, when Dudgway needs to take off his military uniform, it is unlikely that he will be publicly interviewed by the public media as a military strategist.

Regardless, this transition is a very painful thing for both parties.

Of course, that's why it took years for both sides to prepare.

In a sense, the two sides are making strategic adjustments at this time in the hope of dragging down their opponents through an all-out arms race before the war breaks out. Create a greater probability of winning.

In fact, this is also a very normal thing.

You know, before the first two world wars. The arms race is all "foreplay".

Taking World War I as an example, before the outbreak of the war, Germany and Britain engaged in an arms race in recent years, and both sides invested almost all of their national strength in naval construction. In a sense. It was precisely because of the enormous amount of power that Germany invested in the navy that the German Army suffered. Failed to defeat France on the ground.

Before the old years, Germany's superiority on the ground battlefield was very obvious, and it even defeated Tsarist Russia on the Eastern Front, and was only one step away from victory on the Western Front. If Germany had put more effort into building the world's most powerful army before the war, I am afraid that the outcome of the First World War would have been rewritten, and it might even turn into the Second Franco-Prussian War, thus making Germany the most powerful country on the European continent and even in the world.

Ironically, the underappreciated German Army opened its bow left and right on the ground battlefield. Having won enough victories for all Germans to be proud of, the navy, which was again valued by the Kaiser, failed to achieve any results and ended up being the trophy of the Entente. It can be seen that the arms race before the First World War actually became the last straw that crushed Germany. On the other hand, the Entente's pre-war propaganda and its leading role in the arms race were also factors that led Germany astray.

Kaiser Wilhelm II was the nephew of the King of England at that time, and the powerful British Royal Navy left a profound influence on the Kaiser, so that the Kaiser paid more attention to the navy in the construction of sea and land, and despised the land force that was related to the life and death of Germany. In the circumstances of the time. Germany is a typical "land power", even if it has the strength to compete for world hegemony before the outbreak of World War I. Germany, whose industrial strength is second only to the United States, and whose overall national strength is second only to the United States, should also regard France in the west and Tsarist Russia in the east as its main opponents, and only after defeating these two strong enemies should it deal with Britain, instead of fighting three powerful enemies at the same time.

From a historical point of view, Germany was able to defeat France in the Franco-Prussian War because it maintained good relations with Britain under the correct leadership of Bismarck, taking advantage of British support. Stabilized Tsarist Russia in the east and created an opportunity to deal with France alone.

Of course, these are already national strategic issues and have little to do with the arms race.

In addition to the naval arms race that preceded the First World War, the arms race that preceded the Second World War was very prominent. Although after the First World War, the United States, Britain, Japan, France, Italy, and other powers severely restrained the naval arms race through the "Washington Treaty" and the "London Treaty" to avoid the next world war, but after these treaties expired, the arms race still became a prelude to the world war. For example, the naval arms race between the United States and Japan has been in full swing since the beginning of the Fighter Year, and it has determined the final outcome of the Pacific War.

Compared with the First World War, the most important feature of the arms race before the Second World War was the equal emphasis on land and sea, and the addition of the air force.

In a sense, the arms race before World War II was dominated by the Air Force.

Soon after the Wright Brothers' "Aviator" took to the skies, the Air Force was launched. Since then, the war has moved from the plane to the power in it. Decisive force.

Before the outbreak of World War II, the air power race, marked by the "degree race," was a part of the arms race, and it was the most important component. Some of the best fighters of the early years of World War II, such as the German Spitfire and the British Spitfire, were in fact the product of a "degree race". It can be said that the scramble for air power was a highlight of the arms race before World War II.

From a tactical point of view, although World War II was a typical mechanized war, and the most representative ground tactics were the German Army's blitzkrieg and the Soviet Army's theory of large-depth offensive, the core strength of these two army tactics was not the mechanized troops dominated by tanks and combat vehicles, but the aviation units dominated by fighters, attack planes, and bombers, especially the tactical aviation units dominated by fighters and attack aircraft. Suffice it to say that if there is no aviation to open the way in front. It is impossible for the armored forces of the German Army to sweep through Western Europe, let alone to Moscow, and it is impossible for the Soviet Red Army to reach Paelin and finally defeat Germany.

From a strategic point of view, the strategic bombing initiated by the United States has pushed the war to a new peak. It can be said that it was precisely because of the brilliant results achieved in the strategic bombing of Germany and Japan in World War II that the US Air Force was born and the US authorities regarded the Air Force as the number one military force. The U.S. Air Force was still the Army Air Force at the time, capable of dominating the skies during World War II, which was also inextricably linked to the pre-war arms race. For example, the use of airtight cockpits on American murder bombers comes from the technological exploration before World War II, and the even-wheel supercharging motive is closely related to the "degree race" before the war.

Compared with the previous two world wars, the arms race that began in the past years was more brutal.

Judging from the situation at that time, if the Republic and the United States had followed the new strategic thinking, that is, to abandon the offensive mode of building up their armed forces and focus on defense, then the two countries would have to reequip their troops before the outbreak of war, and at least more than half of their main battle equipment would have to be replaced.

In the case of the Army, the Republic has to adjust the tactical indicators of the main ground battle platform and the air combat platform. The new address of this site has been changed to summer: Chat about the fetus o Woki Gongshan, please read in vain!

Relatively speaking, the problems of the army are not serious. In any case, the ground main battle platform and the air combat platform are both open architectures. And it is designed according to modular standards. After adjusting the tactical indicators, it is only necessary to reopen the various functional modules.

Taking the main battle tank as an example, after it was determined that the defense capability should be increased on the basis of the original Tian %, and it had the ability to resist the armor-piercing shells fired by the first generation of spiral electromagnetic guns, that is, the combat quality under the maximum protection standard was increased from Wu Ton to Feng Ton. The main problem arises in order. First, the increase in production costs is about deception, mainly to increase the amount of high-strength alloy armor. The second is to redesign the protective module, after all, after the quality changes, the size data will also change, so it is natural to redesign the shape. The third is that the requirements for the power system are higher, in the case of increasing the center of gravity, that is, increasing the weight of Wei. In order to maintain tactical mobility, the power of the powertrain needs to be increased at least to deceive. These three problems do not have a big impact on the work, in the words of the engineers of Zhongzhong Group, as long as there is enough money, the problem can be solved.

It is the Navy that is really affected.

In any case, the army's main battle equipment is won by quantity, whether it is a main battle tank or a low-altitude attack aircraft, when it is purchased in large quantities. It's all in hundreds, or even thousands. The main battle equipment of the Navy is different. Even if it is an anti-submarine ship with the largest number of equipment, there are only a few units purchased in bulk, and the number of large warships such as aircraft carriers is only a few.

What's more, the design cycle of the Navy's main battle equipment is longer and more difficult to change.

Although the navy's ships have long adopted open architecture and modular design, in any case, the navy has set tactical indicators. A price will be set, according to which the designers will first determine the displacement of the battleship, and then carry out the detailed design. Taking aircraft carriers as an example, after determining the tactical indicators such as the number of standard carrier aircraft as a force frame, continuous combat for an old day, and a deployment period of 6 months, engineers can get a relatively reasonable displacement range, that is, about 10,000 tons in the end. It's still about 10,000 tons. After the displacement range has been determined, the individual functional modules are formulated according to the actual requirements. In this way, if the Navy changes the tactical indicators halfway, for example, requiring the standard number of carrier aircraft to be 2 months, the engineers will increase the displacement from the old 10,000 tons to the old 10,000 tons, and then adjust the modules, which is equivalent to starting all over again.

In fact, this is the main reason why the "Chongqing" class aircraft carrier has been tossed for many years.

Of course, the problem is not that simple.

After determining a defense-oriented strategy. The importance of aircraft carriers is less prominent. You must know that aircraft carriers are definitely attack-oriented surface warships, and only offense can reflect the value of aircraft carriers.

Herein lies the problem.

The war in the Middle East, as well as the Indian war before it, have proven that in future naval warfare, the attack capability of aircraft carriers will hardly pose a threat to opponents of the same level in sea supremacy missions. Taking the Republic's "Shanghai"-class aircraft carriers as an example, in the case of carrying carrier-based aircraft, the largest mountain "Chunli calculation, that is, the dispatch of this knife fighter: one of them is dispatched to carry out escort and hunger air missions, and the other is good to carry out attack missions, and each of them carries four anti-ship missiles, which can only be delivered! Mouth missiles. An air defense network consisting of a battle group of fighter cruisers, 2 multipurpose destroyers and broken anti-submarine destroyers is capable of intercepting more than one anti-ship missile in a single defense. In other words, in the case of comparable size, it is difficult to break down the opponent with an attack.

It is also true that in the previous wars, even in the early days of the Indian War, the Republic Navy had not completely relied on carrier-based fighters to destroy an Indian fleet of comparable size.

Affected by this, the aircraft carrier was completely turned into an active sea airfield. The new address of this site has been changed to: Chat about the fetal o muscle mix, please read after the light!

The problem is that aircraft carriers are far inferior to sea bases in terms of supporting combat aircraft.

In other words, if you do not take into account issues such as navigation, the sea base is a more ideal platform for air support. It can even be said that as long as the magnetic induction propulsion system is mature, the support capability of the "air base" of the Air Force Exhibition will be above that of the aircraft carrier. As a result, the value of the aircraft carrier's existence will be greatly affected.

In fact, in the year of the secret thug, some people doubted the value of the existence of aircraft carriers.

Although some people believe that the war before the mouth year does not reflect the value of aircraft carriers, after all, in a war with limited purpose and scale, the battle for sea supremacy is not of decisive significance. In other words, the belligerents are not active in seizing sea supremacy, so it is difficult for aircraft carriers to behave normally in sea supremacy operations. In an all-out war, the aircraft carrier's sea supremacy capability, especially its strategic maneuver and deployment capability, will be fully manifested. But it must be admitted that in the case of rapid technological progress, this advantage of aircraft carriers is no longer so obvious.

Of course, neither the republic nor the United States will easily change the naval construction when the situation is unclear.

The reason is simple: the construction period of the navy is the longest, and the impact of the change is the greatest, so it is not advisable to make a major adjustment until the situation is clear. In fact, the great navies throughout history have had similar strategies. In the case of the United Kingdom, the Royal Navy was arguably the least aggressive navy in the world when it was rampant around the world, with many new technologies and weapons, such as steam engines and torpedoes. All of them appeared in the navies of other countries before they were adopted by the British navy, and with the great power of the United Kingdom, they quickly outperformed their opponents. It wasn't until after the Second World War, when Britain could no longer maintain the world's largest navy, that the Royal Navy made a difference in technological innovations, such as the catapult, the angled flight deck and the glide take-off method, which had the greatest impact on the modern navy.

It is precisely this that the US Navy is in no hurry to create a bay

In fact, after the Middle East War, the Republican Navy was recognized as a first-class navy on a par with the U.S. Navy. So after that, the Navy of the Republic also became more conservative.

At the end of the year, the Ministry of Defense of the Republic approved the construction of the second batch of the Chongzhen-class aircraft carrier, and at the beginning of the following year, the third batch of improved design work was approved.

In other words, instead of slowing down the construction of the navy, the republic accelerated the construction of new warships and made the decision to rapidly expand the strength of the navy. In fact, this is also the most direct challenge to the United States. You know, apart from Canada and Mexico, any other country that wants to threaten the United States must first have the most powerful navy in the world. From the standpoint of the United States, the most intolerable thing is the emergence of a sea force capable of posing a threat to the US Navy.

Affected by this, the US authorities also approved the expansion of the Navy at the beginning of the year.

Compared to the army and navy, the air force has been affected the least.

Relatively speaking, the Air Force is an offensive force of "absoluteness". In Du Hei's "Theory of Air Supremacy," he emphasized that the value of the air force's existence lies in going on the offensive rather than shooting down enemy fighters in the air. It is better to blow up the enemy's fighters on the ground, so a truly powerful air force is definitely dominated by bombers, and not fighters. Although after the Second World War, with the advancement of technology, the strike capability of fighters has increased significantly, and it is affected by price factors. The number of bombers is getting smaller and smaller, even in the United States, the number of bombers is only a few hundred, and by the beginning of the century, it has been reduced to less than a hundred. However, in terms of combat use, ground strikes remain the main task of the Air Force.

Of course, technically speaking, the main thing for the Air Force to change from offensive to defensive is structural adjustment. That is, the proportion of heavy air supremacy fighters in the fleet. For the Republic and the US Air Force. The thing to do is very simple, and that is to spend more money to procure more and better air supremacy fighters to strengthen air defense combat capabilities.

It can be seen from this that both the army, navy, and air force are under the new operational guiding ideology. The first thing to do is to procure new weapons and equipment. to promote new tactics. In fact, this is the essence of the arms race, that is, the idea of war to promote the construction of equipment, which will have an impact on the country's economy, and ultimately make the country prepare for war during this period, and determine the basis for the final outcome of the war.

The problem is that no one can ignore the "Fourth Army". i.e. the influence of the heavenly army!
