However, Pei Chengyi didn't need to think about the issue of technology, but he had to know if Huawang Xiao could come in handy. [Full text reading]

"It's a pity, I heard Lao Liu say that the time is too urgent, if it is tested before the concubine is put into use, I am afraid that it will not be used until the end of the war." Zhang Xiaolong replied very directly, "Lao Liu also asked me to tell you that the bureau has used computers to do simulation experiments, and if you use it in the relatively calm closed sea area of the bay." The risk is not very large, and basically there will be no problems. ”

"But there's no guarantee that there won't be problems."

Now that Pei Chengyi said it, Zhang Xiaolong didn't waste his saliva.

"Looks like you're testing my mettle."

"Anyway, it's an opportunity." Zhang Xiaolong has worked with Pei Chengyi. knows that Pei Chengyi is a human being. "After the start of the war. We have been gathering information related to logistics. Judging by what has already been mastered. The biggest problem is not the lack of projection power, but the inability to use our force projection power rationally. In the case of the operations of the Eighth Combat Unit by Air, if the distance of the airlift can be shortened to less than 2,000 kilometers, the efficiency of the airlift can be increased by more than three times. Cut air freight time in half. The problem of tactical airlift is also prominent, and many tactical transport aircraft have to wait at the airport for supplies or airlift some inconsequential supplies when the army's capabilities cannot keep up. ”

Pei Chengyi sighed and said, "You mean, the problem arises between the two links of strategy and tactics?"

Zhang Xiaolong nodded and said. "There is no doubt that these two catty links are not well connected, which has greatly reduced our ability to project troops. Although I did not participate in the start of this project, as far as Wu knows, Lao Li agreed to participate in this project and be responsible for the system work. It is because this project is able to solve the most serious problems in the logistics support of our army. The battles of the past few days have just proved this. ”

Regarding Zhang Xiaolong's statement, Pei Chengyi did not express an opinion.

Of course, it is impossible for him to deny the problems mentioned by Zhang Xiaolong.

Although the Republic at this time was much more fortunate than the United States many years ago, not only was it able to borrow military bases from Iran and Iraq. It can also make full use of several large ports in the two countries, which basically solves the problem of sea freight. In addition, both Iran and Iraq have well-developed rail and road transportation systems. The problem is that transporting supplies by truck is no longer the main means of support for the republican ** team. What's more. During combat operations in the mountains of Turkey. The risk of transporting supplies from the ground is very high. In addition to leaving the Iranian and Iraqi forces to do some of the logistical work, the main war materiel still has to be airlifted.

That's where the problem lies.

Whether it is the port of Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran or the port of Basra in Iraq, the transportation system from the port terminal to the nearest airport is inadequate. To put it bluntly, the materials delivered to the wharf often cannot be delivered to the airport in time, and therefore cannot be delivered to the logistics support units that undertake the task of air transportation in a timely manner.

If it's before the old year, even if it's a year ago, it's not a problem.

At that time, the republic was facing regional powers like India rather than the United States.

Ground battles that have only been fought for a few days since June have proven that degree has become the key to victory in a war with the United States. It can be said that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is often a matter of hours to decide the outcome of a major battle, or even a key battle. For example, the battle to attack Kavar did not take out the thugs, and this battle finally decided the fate of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the two American brigades.

The high-paced combat puts forward higher requirements for logistics support.

War is all about logistics. As long as the logistical support work is completed with higher efficiency, we will have a greater certainty of defeating the opponent. The address of this site has been changed to: In addition to the coo, please click on the continent to read!

As a commander, it is impossible for Pei Chengyi not to understand this truth.

In fact, the Republican ** team still maintained its advantage at this time, because the efficiency of logistics support exceeded that of the US ** team.

The meaning of "offshore platform" is also in this place.

As mentioned earlier, the "sea platform" developed by the Republic is not only a floating sea airfield that can be used for tactical transport planes to take off and land, but also a combat platform with comprehensive support capabilities. Of the eight delivery ships that make up the offshore platform, only six are used to connect the main part of the platform, and the other is used to build the platform's "movable dock". "To put it bluntly, the other transport ships will dock with the two delivery ships, and the broken delivery ships will deliver the supplies to the platform. In the case of docking and sideboarding, two delivery ships can transfer materials on six freighters at the same time, and send the materials to the platform with very high efficiency. Compared to a port, it's like building an airport next to a wharf. After the cargo is unloaded from the ship, it can be loaded into the cargo hold of the transport aircraft, and the transportation efficiency can be imagined.

In a sense, this strong material transshipment capacity is the foundation of the value of the "offshore platform".

If in order to support aviation operations, the efficiency of the "sea platform" is certainly not comparable to that of the aircraft carrier, after all, the survivability of the "sea platform" is too doubtful in the case of an enemy attack that needs to be considered. If only for the purpose of projecting combat troops, the "sea platform" is far inferior to the amphibious assault fleet, one way or another. It is impossible for the "offshore platform" to operate near the enemy's coastline, as the amphibious assault fleet does. If you compete for absolute material transshipment capacity, "offshore platforms." It is not comparable to a naval base with well-developed loading and unloading facilities, anyway, "at sea." The capacity is very limited. However, in this kind of instigation that requires quick transshipment, the position of the "offshore platform" is irreplaceable.

According to the data provided by Zhang Xiaolong, on the meter-long runway, at least vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft such as Frame Fart can be used to perform loading and unloading operations at the same time, and replenish electrical energy when loading goods. And so it goes. In the case of take-off according to the normal load capacity, as long as the air distance is not more than one kilometer. There is no need to replenish electricity on the front line, which greatly shortens the transportation cycle. Because there are charging equipment, complete material handling equipment, and special material transfer channels nearby, a loading cycle is less than a few minutes. In other words, if there are enough conveyors in one turn, an average per edge minute can deliver a batch of goods. Follow each rack. After transporting 3o tons of goods at a time, the average number of goods can be sent per hour. Tun cargo. Of course, this data was determined at the time of design, because in the case of relying exclusively on the loading and unloading gear on the delivery ship. It takes about a week to unload all the supplies of the six large freighters with a deadweight of 10,000 tons, and the six delivery ships that make up the platform are able to hold about a third of the cargo, so the remaining cargo is about 10,000 tons. Regardless of the situation of the transport planes, where the entire platform is working at peak efficiency, it would take about a week to deliver the supplies. Because before docking with the freighter again, the Aozun delivery ship needs to take time to carry out a comprehensive overhaul of the loading and unloading tools, which takes about three and a half days, so when the material and capital department stored in the platform is delivered, the second batch of cargo ships also began to be unloaded. Of course, this is calculated in terms of maximum efficiency. And it is a miracle that the actual combat efficiency can reach the highest efficiency.

In fact, this definitely makes Pei Chengyi's heart move.

According to the ideal irrigation calculation, as long as the hard frame is put in. Pass. Forming 8 fleets, 6 of them for transport tasks and 2 for maintenance, will be able to deliver war materials to southeastern and southern Turkey at 3 degrees per day.

What is this concept?

The 8th combat unit thugs persuaded tons of supplies. In other words, even when the battle with the enemy is at its most intense, the material supply ability of 3 field stews can meet the needs of 2 combat units. Counting the delivery of supplies by ground and strategic airlift, and the impossibility of a fierce battle with the enemy in several directions at the same time, it is not a problem to ensure that 6 to 8 combat units are operating at the front line.

Of course, the reality may be more ideal.

If you can make more reasonable use of the "Haiqi platform." That is, using the gap time of the gills in tactical airlifting, so that "the old large transport aircraft that can take off and land on the runway of the batter Kami can airlift or airdrop materials to the front line, and the delivery capacity of the platform can be increased to the spider under ideal conditions, because it is impossible to land or take off at the same time, and it is not even possible to place the old on the deck, so the efficiency of using the old air transport is definitely much lower than using a horse." Increased the daily delivery capability to 4 pus, thus ensuring that 8 to heart combat units can fight on the front line.

In other words, as long as the "sea platform" is rationally used, even if the main force of the Republic Army is completely killed, there is no need to worry about logistical support.

For Pei Chengyi, who has to think of thrifting at all times because of the lack of soldiers and major generals, if he can really solve the problem of logistics support fundamentally, I am afraid that he will take any risk.

After thinking about it, Pei Chengyi looked at Zhang Xiaolong and said, "If you take action immediately, when will you be able to let the "sea base" be put into use again?"

"It's going to take a week at the earliest

Hearing this, Pei Chengyi immediately tightened his brows. If you really have to wait a week! Then it doesn't make any sense. In fact, you can't wait even 3 days, let alone a week. According to Pei Chengyi's estimate, Du Qiwei is arranging a second round of bombing, and the two ace divisions of the US Army will be put into battle in the early morning of the 7th, while Jiang Wancheng's fifth combat unit will not be able to enter the battlefield until the early morning of the 8th at the earliest. That is to say, if the problem of logistics support cannot be solved in the early morning of the 8th, no matter how powerful the delivery capacity of the "offshore platform" is. It is also hard to wave.

"Of course, the premise is to act now.

Under Pei Chengyi's surprised and puzzled gaze, Zhang Xiaolong said unhurriedly, "The fast strategic projection fleet did not participate in the previous operations, mainly because it needed time to carry out the necessary modifications and tests, such as checking whether the magnetic link system could work properly, whether the attitude control thruster was intact, and the connection test was carried out in a simulated way. After our thorough testing, the six delivery ships were in excellent condition and could reach the bay within twenty-four hours of receiving the order. Because our first convoy could only reach Basra in eight days at the earliest, it was almost just in time for the "offshore platform." Put into service, it will be possible to dock six of these large transport ships with the platform. ”

"Wait, you started talking about only six delivery ships."

"Yes, there are only six ships in Gwadar port."

Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment. I realized that I was a little too anxious.

"The last two. That is, the ro-ro delivery ship without the lower direct cargo hold deck was launched at the beginning of the year, "Liu had long expected that these two ships would come in handy. So let the Navy heart, accept the test work and let the two ships leave the dock in the name of sea trials on the day of the start of the ground battle. Four days ago. After all the sea-style work has been done. The two ships descended from the East China Sea and are expected to be able to enter the bay by this time tomorrow. ”

"That is." Offshore platforms, ready to be put into service tomorrow? ”

Zhang Xiaolong nodded. "If all goes well, the docking will take only four hours, followed by four hours of testing, so it will be ready for use tomorrow morning," he said. It's just that,"

"Just what?" Pei Chengyi was a little impatient. In his opinion, intelligence officers are all virtues and never speak straightforwardly.

"Neither of the two roll-on/roll-off delivery ships carrying cargo was carrying cargo, and there had never been a post-docking test before, so even if the docking work was completed tomorrow morning, it would only have to wait until tomorrow evening, or even the early morning of the day after tomorrow, to officially serve the transport fleet."

"Fleet of transport planes?"

Zhang Xiaolong nodded. I didn't understand what Pei Chengyi meant.

That is to say. As long as the supplies are not transferred, they can still serve other aircraft. ”

"That's fine. The runway, which is more than 1,000 meters long, can take off and land freely on other planes except for civil aircraft. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a refueling system on the platform, right?"

"What do you mean?"

Pei Chengyi smiled and said: "When designing, it is impossible for the Navy not to consider the ability to support combat aircraft, so it should set up a refueling system and ammunition supply system on the platform, right?" ”

Zhang Xiaolong nodded and said: "That's true, the platform's ability to support combat aircraft is more powerful than that of aircraft carriers. ”

"That's good." Pei Chengyi paused a little and said, "In the past few days, I have been thinking about one thing. That is, what will be the consequences if we attack the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group? ”

Zhang Xiaolong was stunned for a moment and said, "You don't want to fight a world war, do you?"

"That's what I'm worried about." Pei Chengyi sighed. "Although we are at war with the United States, we have not declared war on each other, not even on each other's allies. According to the unwritten rules, in this case, we will at most make a small move under the surface of the sea. It is a great pity that up to now, the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle groups have been operating within the cover of shore-based aviation, and the sea area where they are located is very unsuitable for submarine ambushes, and our submarines cannot enter the Red Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean Sea for the time being, so the submarine force is useless. The problem is that if we can't paralyze the U.S. Navy, we can't force the U.S. to sit down at the negotiating table, and we can't end the war in a way that is more favorable to us, and we will lose it all. ”

When listening to Pei Chengyi, Zhang Xiaolong was not in a hurry to express his position.

"I know that too. Really to attack the American aircraft carrier battle group with aviation. It is tantamount to a war against the United States. Of course, we must admit that the American authorities also do not want war with us. That is, as long as the skin is not torn. It's not a big problem. If there is an opportunity for us to take out a few American aircraft carriers, and for the US authorities to accept a fait accompli, we will be able to quickly end this war without much nutrition. ”

"The problem is, there are almost no such opportunities."

Pei Chengyi smiled. said: "I understand what you mean, first we have no reason, and second is that we have no way to carry out a surprise attack. Anyway. U.S. spy satellites are constantly monitoring our military bases and aircraft carrier battle groups, and as long as our fighter planes fly together, they will be spotted. If we interfere with American reconnaissance satellites. Even if it weren't for us to take out the American aircraft carrier. The US authorities will also put a pot of on our heads. All in all, very difficult. Of course, whether we can solve the problem or not depends on whether we are willing to work in this direction. ”

Zhang Xiaolong also smiled. "So, we've found a way. "The new address of this site has been changed to: In addition to the goo, please log in to read!

"The reason for the attack is very easy to solve, as long as the US military enters Syria or Iraq, these two catties. The state would have a reason to attack any target of the US military, including American aircraft carriers. In fact, at this point, the US military has already entered Syria, and we have no reason to worry about it at all

Zhang Xiaolong nodded slightly, knowing that Pei Chengyi was talking about attacking the US aircraft carrier battle group as the Syrian Air Force.

"That's the point. Where did our fighters take off. ”

"Offshore platform,?"

Pei Chengyi smiled. "If the U.S. doesn't know that we have such a good thing, and we don't plan to use this platform in this war, we have a reason to make the most of the only sneak attack," he said. ”

"The question is, how will the next ground war be fought?"

"If the United States loses several aircraft carriers, does it still need to fight ground battles with the American military?"

Zhang Xiaolong frowned slightly. said: "This has to be planned carefully, and it is best to discuss it with Lao Li."

"I will contact Lao Li, and you will be responsible for the transfer of the platform and intelligence collection. When I figure out how to fight, we'll discuss the details. ”

Zhang Xiaolong did not object. After all, Pei Chengyi has the final say on how to fight.
