After being silent for a long time, Yuan Chenhao asked the first question. [Full text reading] that is, the female farmer in the air" guarantee.

This is actually a question that there is no need to ask at all, because it is explained in detail in the battle plan issued by Pei Chengyi. Seeing that Su Jinhui didn't want to break the silence, and those generals of other countries didn't intend to be ugly rashly, Yuan Chenhao used this relatively basic question to start a new topic.

Strictly speaking, how to deploy air power is the most critical and difficult part of pre-war preparation.

In modern warfare, it is definitely not the ground forces that decide the outcome of the war. In a local war of limited scale, the ground forces can even play the role of an occupying force. Even in a large-scale war in which the ground forces play a leading role, final victory is possible only when air supremacy is mastered. "Air power" in a broad sense. "It includes not only the tactical aviation of the Air Force, the air force of strategic aviation fighters, and the support aviation unit, but also the naval aviation and army aviation units.

Judging from the actual situation, when considering the deployment of air power, Pei Chengyi first thought of naval aviation, not the air force. In fact, Duchway had in mind the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier battle group, not the air forces deployed in Turkey and neighboring European countries.

In the beginning of the century, although the Republic acquired dozens of overseas military bases in the course of its years-long strategic expansion, built a "crescent-shaped domestic perimeter defense line" from the Korean Peninsula to the Arabian Sea, and obtained forward bases in Argentina and East African countries, Russia also acquired many overseas bases on the basis of the CIS. The European Union has carried out military expansion in cooperation with North African countries, but against the backdrop of the overall contraction of the United States and the loss of more than half of its overseas military bases, the number of overseas military bases of the world powers has shrunk by nearly 30% compared with the end of the century.

Among the important factors that have led to the sharp decline in the number of overseas bases, the strength of major powers has risen and fallen

Target.

Judging from the annual expenditure of the Republic and the United States on overseas military bases, the main reason for the sharp decline in overseas bases is the excessively expensive construction and maintenance costs. According to the National Defense Blue Book published by the Republic in the year of Likou, in the national defense budget for the fourth fiscal year, the expenditure on maintaining overseas military bases is 400 million yuan, and the expenses spent on overseas military bases, including subsidies paid to military personnel stationed overseas and special expenses for the maintenance of equipment overseas, will not be less than yuan, accounting for about the gills of military expenditures and equivalent to the gills of the total annual equipment expenditure of the US military.

Such high maintenance costs will certainly make officials in defense departments of various countries think otherwise. The new address of this site has been changed to: Regret the heart, please log in to read!

Even if the relatively high labor costs of the Republic, the United States, and other countries are calculated, the aircraft carrier battle group of the Liekou 100 million yuan or the fighter aircraft carrier "cruisers, four destroyers", attack submarines, and Sakuai combat support ships will purchase an air wing with fishing frame combat aircraft, and use it normally within the year. According to a comprehensive analysis of statistics made by the US Department of Defense in the invited year. In addition to ensuring the normal operation of military bases in important allies, by reducing military bases in secondary areas, it can save 400 billion to 700 billion yuan in military spending per year, and in the long run; In the exhibition cycle of force years, it is more cost-effective to expand the size of the navy than to expand the scale of overseas military bases. Although the Republic has not released relevant materials and information, there is reason to believe that similar statistics will certainly be made for the budget-conscious officials of the Ministry of Defense. And a similar conclusion was made. In fact! After the end of the year, the Republic has closed about its old overseas military bases in order to reduce military spending, or to spend precious military spending on more important places.

It is precisely for this reason that when Pei Chengyi formulated combat missions, the first thing that came to mind was the Navy's aircraft carrier battle group.

The actual situation is not ideal, because of serious problems in design, the three "Huaxia" class aircraft carriers have returned to the shipyard for mid-term life extension and major changes during the period from the year of Bi to the second year, and they can only be put into service after the end of the year of Likou at the earliest, so the Navy of the Republic of China can only dispatch a sub-aircraft carrier battle group composed of three "Beijing" class and three "Shanghai" class aircraft carriers under the condition of full preparation. According to Hua Jianfeng, because of the debts owed in the construction of escort warships over the years, even if the "Huaxia" class can complete the overhaul ahead of schedule, there will not be enough escort warships to form three aircraft carrier battles

Group.

Compared with the investment of the US military, the investment of the Republic Navy is indeed unsatisfactory.

Judging from the actual situation, the strength of the six aircraft carrier battle groups should definitely not be underestimated.

Because of the rotation of deployment, the Republic Navy retains only seven carrier-based aviation wings in the case of one aircraft carrier. And only 6 of them carry out combat deployment tasks, so in addition to the first wing, which is mainly responsible for scraping and confrontation tasks, the other 6 wings are all formed according to combat standards, and each wing has Gollum fighters and other flying aircraft. The advantages of this type of organization are very obvious, for example, in peacetime, it can be used on a smaller scale to maintain a high combat effectiveness, and in wartime it can be used on the largest scale. It is precisely in this way that the six aircraft carrier battle groups are in front of the combat standards. Each aircraft carrier carried a knife mount fighter with an old one? Fighters and other aircraft were deployed at the nearest naval air station.

According to Hua Jianfeng's guarantee, as long as the ammunition support can keep up, the six aircraft carrier battle groups will be able to dispatch for seven consecutive days at the highest intensity without interruption. Because the port of Gwadar is close to the front line, and the fast combat support ships operating with the six aircraft carrier battle groups do not have to return to the mainland to carry ammunition, logistics are not a problem.

It can be seen that in the first 7 days, the Navy was able to continue to engage a number of combat aircraft.

At this scale, it has already passed the worship of the air force of a regional power

Of course, the naval fleet is capable of using more than carrier-based aviation.

With only six carrier battle groups and a directional task force, the Republic Navy was able to provide each task force with air defense cruisers and anti-submarine destroyers, and eight anti-submarine destroyers in four fast support fleets. The total number of missile vertical firing systems on these escort warships exceeds four or four, and in addition to half of them can be used to accommodate anti-aircraft and anti-submarine missiles, the other four can be used to carry treble cruise missiles. Because the aircraft carrier battle group will operate in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea, that is, within the cover of shore-based aviation, the possibility of a conflict with the US fleet is not very great, and there are more than one old attack submarine under the water, so there is no need for the escort warships to carry too many anti-aircraft missiles and anti-submarine missiles, and they can carry ground-attack ammunition as much as possible.

In addition to the tweeter cruise missile, there are two large-caliber electromagnetic guns on cruisers and multi-purpose destroyers, and one large-caliber electromagnetic cannon on anti-submarine destroyers. The maximum range of these electromagnetic guns is about 1,000 kilometers, so they can provide artillery support to combat units in northern Iraq in the northern waters of the Persian Gulf. It is a pity that because the US military controls the entrance to the Red Sea, the Navy of the Republic cannot enter and leave the Red Sea at will, and therefore cannot support combat operations in the direction of the Golan Heights with the electromagnetic guns on the battleships.

Relatively speaking, because the United States will directly participate in the war, the significance of the high-pitched cruise missiles carried by the expanded warships is very significant in the absence of complete air supremacy.

It is also precisely because of this that it is certainly not enough to invest in carrier-based aviation.

Compared with shore-based aviation, the biggest problem of carrier-based aviation is that it does not have sustained combat capability.

Although the ability of carrier-based aviation units to burst out is very astonishing, taking the "Shanghai" class aircraft carrier as an example, the basic design index is that under the condition that the strike radius is 1,000 kilometers, the number of combat planes that make sorties within the initial time of landing does not include support operations, that is, in the case of carrying knife fighters, each fighter sorties and crashes, of which air defense fighters make sorties and multi-role fighters make sorties. After deducting the time required for the operation, it is equivalent to the number of minutes that each fighter must take off again after returning to the aircraft carrier. For this reason, the "Shanghai" class aircraft carriers have prepared officer cabins that can accommodate pilots of the nearest name, while other aircraft carriers can only accommodate pilots of the elite name at most. But limited by the aircraft carrier itself. In particular, the sustained combat capability of carrier-based aviation is far inferior to that of shore-based aviation. This situation can also be explained from the basic structure, that is, the aircraft carrier carrying carrier-based aviation is a three-dimensional intensive combat platform, while the aviation base carrying shore-based aviation is a planar and decentralized combat platform.

When the war plan was formulated. Pei Chengyi knew. The Air Force must be put into service as soon as possible.

The problem is that if the Air Force is used too soon, the war intentions of the republic will be too obvious, and thus it will be at a very disadvantage in the international struggle. In fact, before the battle began, it was impossible for Pei Chengyi to use the Republican Air Force, or even transport planes to transport operations to the front line

In response to this situation, Pei Chengyi can only use his "crooked brain".

During negotiations with Iran, Iraq, and Syria, Pei Chengyi put forward a special request through the Military Intelligence Agency, that is, the air forces of the three countries should undertake air combat missions within the first hour after the outbreak of war, and the carrier-based aviation units of the Republic Navy would undertake the air combat missions in addition, and the air forces of the Republic would complete the deployment and delivery of troops within hours after the war began.

In other words, the Air Force will deploy at least four Boomerang combat aircraft and four support aircraft to the front line within hours.

Needless to say, this is a very difficult task.

Of course, this is not a promise from Pei Chengyi, but a promise from the commander of the Air Force, Admiral Lei Jingming.

As an Air Force general who has served in the Air Force for many years, has assisted several Air Force commanders, and has not become the number one leader of the Air Force until he is a general, Lei Jingming will definitely not joke on this issue.

As a matter of fact, achieving "arrival and deployment within hours" is precisely the realistic goal that the Air Force is striving to pursue.

According to the air force reform plan put forward by Lei Jingming after he took office in his last year, under the condition that the main direction of development is to support the air force, especially the global force projection capability, the air force must first start with itself and realize that within a few hours, it can project an air force of no less scale and combat effectiveness than the overall strength of the air force of a regional power to any hot spot within 4,000 kilometers of the mainland. Specifically, under the condition of full mobilization, seven tactical aviation wings will be projected to areas within a kilometer of Danwa.

Here it is said that the new address of this site has been changed to: a few goo, please log in to read! "Deficiencies refer to the ground support and the ammunition needed for sustained combat;

Although the fighters of the tactical aviation unit can fly directly to their destinations with the support of tankers, in order to ensure the continuous operation of the troops, it is necessary to send to the front line all support materials, including ground crews, support equipment, spare parts, communications facilities, and even basic living facilities and equipment for personnel, as well as fuel, ammunition, and other combat materials to meet combat needs.

Regardless of the fact that the Air Force is an air combat unit, it will certainly have more equipment left on the ground than it will fly into the sky

Many.

According to the establishment of the Air Force of the Republic "a piece of equipment, the small name pilot corresponds to the porridge ground crew. To transport these equipment and personnel, it is necessary to use a mouth frame to occupy a large transport aircraft, or a multi-purpose transport aircraft. Although the Air Force made great efforts to "lose weight" after Lei Jingming started to change the grass, it was in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops. A lot of logistical support facilities have been added, such as the "Integrated Service Support and Life Support System" that is packed in containers and provides basic living support for pilots and ground crews of the whole wing, which can fill three or four pregnant cargo foxes

In addition to support equipment, the delivery of combat materials is more cumbersome.

Even if the dispatch is carried out at a moderate intensity, "a small multi-role fighter wing needs to use the materials consumed every day, and the blades are old or the flying frames are worn out." It can be seen from this that if seven tactical aviation wings are deployed, all the transport aircraft owned by the Air Force will have to be used to transport ammunition.

Fortunately, fighting in the Gulf region does not need to think about the use of war materials in the air for the time being.

According to Pei Chengyi's deployment, the tactical aviation of the Air Force is mainly deployed in the southern region of Iran, centered on Khuzestan Province, and in the southeastern region of Iraq, centered on Basra. Both regions have large ports, and both have relatively complete transportation infrastructure, major airports have direct railways to the port, and military airports also have direct roads to the port. What's more, these areas are far from the war zone and safe and secure.

For the Republic Air Force, the key is how to do 2. Seven tactical aviation wings were delivered within an hour.

To do this, the Air Force must occupy all large transport aircraft and multi-purpose transport aircraft. That is, the operation to deliver the 10th combat unit had to be postponed.

Pei Chengyi had no other choice, before dropping the tenth combat unit. Investing in air power is even more critical.

In fact. The actions of the 10th combat unit will not be affected much, since there are no air force transport aircraft, and there are also tactical transport aircraft of the army aviation. The address of this site has been changed to: Excuse me. 8. Please read the law!

Though. The maximum range of a fart cannot send the 10th combat unit from the small southwest of the republic to the Gulf region, but it can be no less efficient than the air force to send the 10th combat unit to the northwest of the republic and also to the Gangetic plain of India, but the Indian authorities are unwilling to get involved in the Middle East conflict. Therefore, military bases and domestic transportation facilities were not opened to the republic, and then to Pakistan through the China-Pakistan strategic railway. If it does not take the sea route, after reaching Lahore, the 10th combat unit can again take the Army Air Tank's 2 fleet to Iran or Iraq, if by sea. You will need to continue south to Gwadar Port.

Overall. The 10th combat unit will definitely be able to reach the battlefield by the end of June.

Because tactical aviation was able to participate in the war in a timely manner, Pei Chengyi did not rush into the army aviation... Instead, it is intended to let the ground aviation follow the ground forces and move to the theater in a steady and steady manner, so as to reduce the pressure on logistics support in the early stage.

Summing up, the problem of the investment of air power is not serious.

After Pei Chengyi explained this problem, Su Jinhui and several generals from other countries each raised a catty. Problems, among which Su Jinhui is the logistics of the ground forces deployed in Syria. Because it is very likely that the republic will put in more surface troops in the form of increasing troops one after another, so when answering this question. Pei Chengyi only mentioned that the Iraqi Defense Forces and the Syrian Defense Forces were mainly responsible for ground transportation in the early stage, and the Republic Air Force and Naval Aviation were responsible for air defense cover, but did not mention the operational deployment in the later stage. Su Jinhui didn't ask much, because before going to Da Beggar, he had obtained relevant information from the Military Intelligence Bureau and knew that there would be bigger moves in the later stage.

It was only after the staff officers came in to inform the Ministry of National Defense that the press conference was about to be held, and Pei Chengyi announced the end of the meeting.

As in previous meetings, Mr. Pei did not expect anyone else to ask constructive questions. The main purpose of the pre-war conference was to make the front-line commanders responsible for specific command work understand the tactical intentions of the supreme commander in direct communication and avoid making mistakes in combat operations. In fact, this is also mainly aimed at Su Jinhui. Yuan Chenhao was Pei Chengyi's deputy during the Indian War, so he was very aware of Pei Chengyi's tactical thinking. Although Su Jinhui also cooperated with Pei Chengyi during the Peninsula War, the cooperation was not long, and Pei Chengyi was not very mature at that time, so Su Jinhui did not know much about Pei Chengyi.

In fact. Pei Chengyi is most worried about Su Jinhui.

Anyway. Before the situation became clear, Pei Chengyi did not want Su Jinhui to make any mistakes.
