In October, the second aircraft carrier of the Maritime Resistance Force, or the first regular aircraft carrier, had finally completed its outfitting. At the same time, the training of the crew and pilots was basically completed. The Indian Ocean aircraft carrier group began its journey from Statue Island to Madagascar.

Originally, Li Guang intended to let Huang Zhonghua, the original captain of the Liberty Dragon, serve as the captain of the ship.

However, due to the many restrictions imposed by the United States on the Naval Resistance Army, the relationship between the two countries does not seem to be so harmonious after the Battle of Midway. Don't look at the battle of Midway, before the Battle of Midway, the Americans promised to give the Naval Resistance Force a light aircraft carrier, but it is impossible to predict whether the Americans will play tricks.

Later, Li Guang asked Admiral Nimitz, commander of the US Pacific Fleet, and received a positive answer. The Americans are good at this, and the clear contract will definitely be executed, which is the credibility and demeanor of a great power. As far as the United States is concerned, such low-level things as Ming Lai's accounts are basically no longer played. The United States wants to play more advanced, relying on your account, and you can't say that you can't come out. Here's a word of complaint: At present, the rabbit is buying a large number of US Treasury bonds, and the United States is obviously not bad at paying the bills, and the means are clever, which makes the rabbit have a hard time.

The reason why they rushed to the United States ahead of schedule was that in addition to the need for the Maritime Resistance Force to familiarize themselves with this aircraft carrier as soon as possible, there were also very specific transformation tasks. Due to the fact that the military thinking of the Naval Resistance Force and the US military are quite different in many details, there are also certain structures that need to be changed, or certain equipment needs to be added.

Therefore, Huang Zhonghua, who is good at communication, led a team to the United States to receive the aircraft carrier, which is the best candidate. Moreover, Huang Zhonghua never forgot the Freedom Dragon aircraft carrier, and the light aircraft carrier provided by the United States was given the name of "Freedom Dragon" again by the Naval Resistance Force early on, which is why Huang Zhonghua volunteered to lead the team to the United States.

Huang Zhonghua led the team this time, and there is a relatively special phenomenon. Huang Zhonghua led not many personnel, not all the crew. There are only more than 500 people, and most of them are the backbone of the turbine pipe loss. Among them, the most dazzling are nearly 100 female soldiers.

This is the first female soldier in the Navy of the Naval Resistance Army. The arrival of female soldiers on ships was almost a unique event during World War II, and the Naval Resistance Army was the first of its kind.

There is a shortage of personnel in the Navy, especially in the Air Force and Navy. There is a serious shortage of personnel in almost every technical branch. However, there is one branch of the army that is not lacking - the telecommunications corps.

There are many female soldiers recruited by the Navy, most of whom are engaged in two professions: nurses and telecommunications. Over the years, there were five or six hundred female telecommunications soldiers. However, most of the female telecommunications corps work on land, and the navy is exclusively male telecommunications corps. As a result, there has been a strange phenomenon that is extremely rare in the Naval Resistance Army, and the supply of female telecommunications soldiers in the technical arms exceeds the demand.

The staffing of aircraft carriers before World War II was fairly simple, but by this period. Staffing is complicated. Although it is not as complicated as the division of labor of aircraft carriers in later generations, there are at least more than 20 arms. The hardware upgrade of the hull itself is relatively slow, but the upgrading of electronic communications is advancing by leaps and bounds, and the demand for telecommunications troops has increased greatly.

However, even the United States has not yet upgraded to the point where every fighter plane has a telecommunications guide. And the Japanese army simply remained in command of the group. There is no detailed division of labor at all.

Several naval battles, as a time-traveler living in a modern electronic society. It was easy to find out that there was a serious lack of communication in the fighters. Command dozens of hundreds of warplanes in public channels. There are serious shortcomings. It is extremely unfavorable to the flexible adjustment of forces in battle, and even more unfavorable to the rescue of pilots in the event of a fighter plane crash.

In this era, the air combat of fighters depends entirely on the vision of the pilot, and it is not uncommon for long planes and wingmen to scatter in the vast sky, and the cooperation and support between a group of fighters is even more unrealizable. Often the air battle is over, and there is no longer a group. The pilots had to go back to their homes, which was extremely unsafe and easy to get lost in the sea. A rookie pilot is at a loss when he arrives at sea. As a result, there have been many wrecks.

Here's an example of the Chinese Air Force after forty-nine years. For twenty or thirty years, it has been followed: assemble, attack, fight, assemble, withdraw. These five procedures.

Anyone who knows a little about the Air Force understands that the last two steps should be reversed, and it is reasonable to withdraw from the battlefield first and then assemble. But no one is stupid, and the reason why the combat program is so prepared is simple: if you do not assemble in the combat airspace, due to the serious lack of training of pilots, the return losses are extremely large.

Another example is the Japanese Army Air Force, which almost stubbornly refused to bomb sea targets. Although it is related to the fact that they have not been trained to bomb moving targets at sea, the bigger reason is that they have always relied on terrain navigation, and when they reach the unmarked sea, they cannot figure out the direction at all, so that they die in vain.

The Japanese Army Air Force has an extremely sad statistic that the proportion of fighter plane losses from the mainland island hopping to New Guinea is more than 20 percent. The rate of loss of trained naval aviation fighters is only about three percent. Of course, the devils do not count the pilots at all, only the losses of fighters. But I don't know that elite pilots are much more valuable than fighter planes.

In this way, the advantages of a large number of telecommunications troops have been revealed. In addition to reducing the accidental loss of pilots, it also has a greater use in combat. With radar and telecommunications guides, it will be easier to determine the position of fighters, and air combat command will be more flexible.

In air battles, it is often seen that some fighters have nothing to do and even the enemy cannot be found. However, some fighters were encircled and left alone. If all fighters can be effectively utilized, this phenomenon can be greatly prevented, and it is almost a qualitative leap in the improvement of combat effectiveness.

After the exercise of the Naval Resistance Force, it has been verified that even in the absence of radar, the deployment of a single telecommunications unit has greatly improved the combat effectiveness.

Therefore, after Li Guang put forward this kind of thinking, although many captains still have psychological resistance to female soldiers on board. In the past, women were forbidden to board any ship, including military and civilian ships. Especially on ocean-going vessels, there are no female crews at all. The reason is that it usually takes more than a few months for ocean-going ships to dock when they leave land. During the voyage, no one other than the land and crew can be seen. If there are women in the crew, then among the male crew, for some reason there will be scandals such as brawls and jealousy, which will affect the safety of navigation. Therefore, since the beginning of the human conquest of the seas, the ocean-going crew has been all male (including naval combat ships).

In the traditional Chinese concept, the army is considered to be the most masculine and strong, and it is unlucky for a woman to appear in the barracks, and of course it is even more unlucky to be on a warship.

However, according to the experience of the Naval Resistance Army, on the battlefield, female soldiers can stimulate the soldier's nature to protect women, stimulate the tenacious will to fight, and can also play a role in calming emotions. In the fighting in Burma, there were several female nurses surrounded by the Japanese army, and the soldiers of a platoon fought to the death, and finally all of them died, but the female nurses were able to get out of the encirclement.

The role of telecommunications troops in several exercises has already been demonstrated. With a serious shortage of male telecommunications soldiers, female telecommunications soldiers have become a big hit, and various air force units have begun to compete for them. Navy warships have always refused to allow female soldiers to board ships, and now they have to make an exception. There is a serious shortage of male signal troops, and the aircraft carrier USS Indian Ocean and the future aircraft carrier USS Liberty Dragon have also had to join the ranks of competing for female telecommunications troops. Later, in order to facilitate management, all fighter telecommunications guides were all female soldiers.

With the precedent of female soldiers on the ship, soon the ship's medical nurses also served as female soldiers.

Originally, female soldiers could also serve as cooks on aircraft carriers, but during the war, the cooks were all anti-aircraft gunners, and the physical strength of female soldiers was not enough to support such a battle, and female soldiers were not trained in anti-aircraft artillery operations, so this proposal was rejected.

For a time, the originally abundant female telecom soldiers were swept away. To a certain extent, the female soldiers of the Maritime Resistance Army on the ship were not intentionally the first to do so, but had to do it due to a lack of troops. In order to avoid the occurrence of certain abnormal incidents, the General Staff of the Naval Resistance Force began to formulate strict rules and regulations for female soldiers on ships. Li Guang didn't want to play the role of a literary soldier in a certain army.

As long as the Naval Resistance Army is a soldier, it is a warrior who fights in a dignified manner, regardless of gender.
