The service of the Yingtian aircraft carrier has made the Ming naval force have been improved by leaps and bounds, and the Kunlun no longer has to work hard to run through the two oceans alone, and then the already exhausted aircraft carrier will sail directly into the dock for a new round of maintenance, and the Yingtian will take over its South China Sea cruise, or it can also be said that the strategic deterrence mission of the Seventh Fleet of the United States.

As for the other aircraft carrier of the High Seas Fleet, the Dreadnought, which could not use jet carrier-based aircraft, had completely become a pure helicopter carrier at this time, with sixty Cobra and Pixiu helicopters crammed into the hangar, plus eight A1 Sky Raiders to form a powerful shore attack capability.

In addition, the aircraft carrier also obtained two heavyweight partners, two Goryeo-class dock landing ships named after the subject country, namely the Goryeo and the Ryukyus, and the prototype of these two dock landing ships is the Hydebay class built in the 80s of the United States. With a full load displacement of 16,000 tons and a super-huge dock that can carry four air-cushion landing craft, this latest landing craft can easily transport a Leopard tank, as well as carry an infantry fighting vehicle and a platoon of infantry at the same time.

In addition, it can carry conventional hard landing craft, which are also capable of transporting tanks to the beach, and the huge flight deck can take off and land elephant heavy helicopters.

Of course, the downside is that it doesn't have a hangar, but that's not a big deal, the landing ships are all accompanied by the Dreadnought, and the latter has helicopters.

Such a dock landing ship could carry a slightly downsized mechanized infantry battalion, two such landing ships, plus an airborne infantry battalion carried on board the Dreadnought itself. Basically, it is possible to form a regiment-level combat detachment. Carry out three-dimensional landing combat missions.

They work with heavy aircraft carriers to provide air supremacy. The Ming Navy has the ability to strike expeditions from any coastal country at least within the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific.

If there are any more large strategic transport aircraft, then in this area, it will basically be similar to the US military in later generations, and the strategic transport aircraft, this is indeed already under development.

Yang Feng's first strategic transport aircraft was directly aimed at the C17 level, of course, because the span was too large, it would definitely not be the same as the real C17. But the range of 4,000 kilometers with a full load will not change, the maximum load capacity and take-off and landing performance are poor, anyway, he does not have a tank of more than 60 tons to transport, and the Leopard tank only needs a transport aircraft with a load of more than 40 tons.

Just after the Yingtian aircraft carrier was put into service, the head of the Ming Empire immediately announced the construction plan of a new generation of aircraft carriers, which shocked the whole world.

Because the next generation of aircraft carriers of Führer Yang is......

"Nuclear-powered, with a full load displacement of not less than 100,000 tons! In five years, in five years, I want to see such an aircraft carrier sail across the ocean, and one in the next three years. In twenty years, I want to have the most powerful navy in the world. ”

At the Yingtian entry ceremony, this guy waved his arms like a mustache for speeches and shouted.

All the people in the world who heard this voice were stunned by him.

Eldest brother. We all know you're crazy, but you don't have to be crazy like this, right? A 100,000-ton aircraft carrier? Now the people of the United States who have built dozens of heavy aircraft carriers, the Forrestal class under construction is estimated to have a full load displacement of 80,000 tons, and the country that has built an aircraft carrier alone will build 100,000 tons? What's more, it's still a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and now the first nuclear-powered ship has just been put into service, and the surface displacement of the Nautilus is less than 3,000 tons, so you have to build a 100,000-ton warship.

Crazy, really crazy.

Perhaps, to use some tabloids in the United States, the mental state of the Führer is not very stable.

"Build it slowly, three years can't work, five years, five years, eight years, ten years should be built, right?"

Yang Feng said to his subordinates very indifferently.

"Führer, are you cheating people?"

Hu Hao, whose mind had been trained to be as insidious as his, seemed to smell something strange, and he asked tentatively.

"How can you say that? I shouted a big plan, but in the end I didn't do it at all, so this is called a pit man, I really have to do it, this is not called a pit man! ”

Yang Feng said dissatisfied.

understood, not only Hu Hao, but also other military and political dignitaries of the Ming Empire also understood that Yuan Yuan Yang was indeed not cheating people, he was just deliberately provoking an arms race.

Daming built a 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, then the Mi people must follow up, and they can't build one, at least two or more to maintain their advantage, then the Mi man-made nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the Soviets must also follow up. The Soviets also can't build just one, they need to face the four enemies of the United States, the Ming Dynasty, Britain and France, two ships are already the bottom line, the Soviet Union built two ships, then the two ships of the United States are not enough, and they must have four ships to continue to maintain their advantage. Everyone is building, Britain and Gaul are not staying out of it, they have to build it, and the end result is a repeat of the dreadnought frenzy that preceded the First World War.

But the problem is that these aircraft carriers have been built, but Daming's aircraft carriers are still grinding, so how can they solve the threat to Daming?

"What does an aircraft carrier rely on to fight? You can't rely on carrier-based aircraft? As long as our carrier-based aircraft can have enough advantages, isn't it?

Your Führer didn't go crazy, I really want to build such an aircraft carrier, but I don't build it in five years, in fact, I am very satisfied with the plan to build it in ten years, and I only invest a few dollars in ten years? As for other countries to build, that's their own business, and it has nothing to do with us, so in the past ten years, we'll just use the three aircraft carriers Kunlun, Yingtian, and Shuntian to make do with it.

But on carrier-based aircraft, we must use the best, make up for the quantitative advantage with the quality advantage, and the Ghost will be in service in two or three years, and it will be no problem for this combination of fighters and Tiger Sharks to maintain an advantage for ten years, and our second-generation anti-ship missiles should be put into service almost at the same time, this kind of thing is the master of future naval warfare.

But what about our opponents? They just have devoted all their efforts to building aircraft carriers far more than ours, carrier-based aircraft cannot defeat us, attack planes cannot break through our ship-to-air missile interception, bombs cannot be thrown on our heads, on the contrary, our anti-ship missiles can easily beat them from a distance of tens or hundreds of kilometers, so even if our aircraft carriers are smaller, what is the big deal if our carrier-based aircraft are smaller?

What's more, we are not the Soviet Union, and we don't need to compete for global hegemony, as long as we hold our own territory, it's okay, so wouldn't it be nice for us to light the fire and watch the excitement from the sidelines? ”

Yang Feng said.

Well, he just used this supercarrier to fool the people of the United States, of course, it is not just the United States, in short, he digs a big hole, whoever likes to jump jumps, the main target is the United States

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, even for a country like the United States, is a heavy burden, after the Enterprise was built, and then the United States rebuilt the Kitty Hawk class, just because this thing is too expensive, one is about to catch up with the three conventional aircraft carriers of the same tonnage, and the United States Congress will pay for it, but this time they have to build it if they don't build it.

Vietnam War, space program, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, strategic nuclear submarines, missile ......

He didn't believe that the United States could be so strong that it could deal with all of this at the same time.

If you can't throw out the Star Wars program anymore, soon the Soviets will be able to build an intercontinental missile, and at that time, the Star Wars program will be thrown out, and the laser, missile interception system, all the things that the American people fooled the Soviet Union back then, will openly conduct a successful interception test as a bait when necessary, and don't worry that the American people will not jump into this pit.

In this way, he kept digging pits, forcing them, luring them, in short, he kept making them jump, and kept consuming the national strength of the United States, and at the same time pulling European countries together economically, constantly eroding the market of the United States, and bankrupting the enterprises of the United States, just like he has been doing all these years.

He didn't believe that he couldn't let the blood of the rice country dry up like this.

Of course, his subordinates still can't understand the Führer's foresight, anyway, since the Führer is not crazy, it's easy to say, these people under him are all smart people and very sober-minded, and such an aircraft carrier has exceeded the military needs of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, in their opinion, the standard for Yang to maintain three conventional aircraft carriers is very reasonable, the Ming does not need global hegemony, 30 million people, even if you add other countries in Southeast Asia, the Chinese will not exceed 50 million, such a country is completely crazy to seek global hegemony.

Southeast Asia is sufficient.

And this has actually been achieved, even if the people of the United States are here, they have to retreat in the face of the Ming force, the next step is to control, the Ming army bases all over the country are enough to do this, and then there are three conventionally powered aircraft carriers, which also have the ability to attack in the western Pacific and the Indian Ocean.

It can be said that the strategic layout is already perfect.

A nuclear-powered supercarrier is purely redundant in this strategic system, and it will become a burden on the country, whether to build or feed such an aircraft carrier, the funds required are amazing, in fact, the current military spending of the Ming Empire, the proportion of GDP has exceeded that of the United States, but because Yang Yuan often pays for subsidies in other areas, especially the welfare of the people, ordinary people do not feel it at all, but these high-level people are very clear.

But if according to the real goal of Yang Yuan, this is no problem at all, ten years later, the Kunlun has been in service for more than fifteen years, just replace it with this aircraft carrier, the Ming Navy is still a three-aircraft carrier formation in the end, as for the future construction, it also happens to gradually replace Yingtian and Shuntian, for the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, such a plan is completely within the affordability, and in terms of the strategic needs of the Ming Dynasty, such a plan is also completely necessary. (To be continued.) )
