Chapter 105: The Eagle Spreads Its Wings

The advent of missiles will definitely change the mode of warfare more than the invention of airplanes. In 1926, Robert? Goddard launched the first liquid rocket. And now, the most technologically advanced missile is Germany, and the A-1 should already be at the stage of preparation before the test launch.

However, the V-series missiles, which can hit hundreds of kilometers and then do not know where they landed, are definitely not Zhong Yi's target, and the radio-guided air-to-air, anti-ship, and other airborne missiles are the most urgent. Although the base has been leading the world in science and technology for more than ten years, these high-tech weapons can never be achieved overnight, and His Majesty with great ambitions can only wait patiently.

At present, no matter how advanced the fighter planes are, they still have to rely on cannons and aerial bombs as the main weapons, and this is not a matter of urgency. Look at the other powers, Germany, Britain, Japan and the Soviet Union's jet fighters have just flown off, and the isolationist United States has even recently begun to set up jet projects, not to mention other countries with slightly inferior national strength, in the war in China, **** fighters even have a considerable number of bulky biplanes! But war is also the best catalyst for science and technology related to the military industry, Zhong Yi still pays a lot of attention to the investment of the combat laboratory, otherwise if he is not careful, the base technology will be caught up by others, and it will be tragic.

The carrier-based planes that had finished the exercise had landed on the deck in an orderly manner, and the relatively heavy Pterodactyls all landed on the axial deck, and only one of them flew back after touching the ship, and the unlucky bastards who had not been hooked on the tail hooks of the three blocking cables circled over the Shiyuan and landed smoothly after touching the ship again. However, the pilot of the Pterodactyl bomber, numbered H2121, was still called by the captain of the carrier-based aircraft wing on the aircraft carrier and criticized him fiercely, and Zhong Yi saw this scene in its entirety in the telescope.

After all the fighters were returned to the mothership, His Majesty proposed to go to the aircraft carrier to have a look, and Zhong Yi, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was no different from the military fans of later generations, with the same strong curiosity.

A hind landed in the middle of the deck of the Shiyuan, and the captain of the ship, Senior Colonel Meng Qiangguo, led several officers to welcome Vice Admiral Zhang Zheng, commander of the navy, to board the ship for inspection, but he did not expect that after Commander Zhang jumped out of the transport helicopter, he immediately stretched out his hand to the hatch -- could there be more important people coming on the same plane? Before the exercise, Commander Zhang had already informed that His Majesty would have watched this exercise, could it be ......

Not only Meng Qiangguo, but other officers also thought of this possibility, it was Your Majesty, and only Your Majesty would let Commander Zhang behave like this, everyone's faces couldn't help but become a little excited, the military salute was more standard, and the posture was more upright.

That's right, jumping from the hind was Zhong Yi in full costume, and after His Majesty the Han Emperor jumped off the helicopter, he immediately saluted the officers and soldiers around him with the iconic kingly smile - Zhong Yi's identity was not only the Han Emperor, but also the commander-in-chief of the three imperial armies for the soldiers of the empire.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is here! The sailors who were busy recovering equipment on the deck found Zhong Yi, and they all put down the objects in their hands, and some of them wiped their faces before saluting, but they forgot that their hands were dirty and oily. But no one laughed, and all the sailors did not squint, and saluted His Majesty in the most standard military posture! In the hearts of the Red Police soldiers, Zhong Yi's position is irreplaceable. And these sailors who have been adrift at sea all the year round have a rare chance to meet the supreme commander, and at this moment, their mood is indescribable.

The only thing that is still smiling is Your Majesty, Zhong Yi's white-gloved hand gently wiped the oil off the sailor's face, the sailor did not move, still maintaining a military salute posture, but there were tears in his eyes! His Majesty pulled the sailor's hand off his shoulder, held it tightly in his palm, but did not say a word! Zhong Yi, who has a few years of military academy career, understands very well that between comrades-in-arms, sometimes silence is better than sound!

After shaking hands with the sailors in turn, accompanied by the captain, Zhong Yi walked into the pilot's lounge, and at first glance saw the Pterodactyl pilot who had just been criticized, and when he shook hands with the equally excited pilots, Zhong Yi stopped in front of the unlucky guy, "What's your name?" ”

"Report to Your Majesty, Du Li, the pilot of the 21st Fighter Squadron of the Navy, salutes Your Majesty!"

Du Li? There is only one word difference between Doolittle who bombed Tokyo, "Good name, Lieutenant Du, don't be discouraged by momentary mistakes, the best pilots are also rookies, as long as you train hard, I believe you will become the best bomber pilot." I'll send you to bomb Tokyo, are you confident? ”

"Yes-" Du Lisheng replied hoarsely, making the other pilots a little jealous of his good luck, I knew that we would make a mistake, even if we retired in the future, we can tell future generations: Your Majesty has also asked our name, and we have received your Majesty's personal encouragement!

This trip to the Shiyuan finally satisfied Zhong Yi's curiosity about the aircraft carrier, and he walked through the hangar, the ship island, the communication room, the radar room, the power room, the sailors' lounge, etc., and even the dinner was eaten in the sailor's canteen on the Shiyuan. Six dishes and one soup, the canteen adds two dishes for His Majesty's arrival, and the usual dinner is four dishes and one soup, after listening to Zhang Zheng, Zhong Yi laughed, and went to the kitchen to thank the soldiers!

While eating, he chatted with Senior Colonel Meng Qiangguo about the issue of carrier-based aircraft, you must know that the power of aircraft carriers is all on carrier-based aircraft, and the positioning of aircraft carriers in the modern navy is: a mobile airfield. Only after the electronic information technology is more advanced, the aircraft carrier will be redefined as an integrated combat platform at sea.

The current Marshal-class aircraft carriers can generally carry 76 fixed-wing aircraft, including two fighter squadrons, equipped with 24 J37-C Sea Dragon fighters; two fighter squadrons, equipped with 24 JH-37C Dragon fighter-bombers; two bomber squadrons, armed with 20 HH6-A Pterodactyl bombers; A squadron of reconnaissance aircraft, armed with 8 ZJ38 fighter-reconnaissance aircraft. In addition, there is a helicopter squadron on board the aircraft carrier, equipped with four Hind transport helicopters and four Owl anti-submarine helicopters.

This kind of configuration is quite reasonable at the current level of aircraft carrier operations, and it is undoubtedly necessary to equip more air supremacy fighters when the radar technology is not yet very mature and the early warning capability is not strong. And the successful landing of the all-rounder poison dragon has largely solved the problem of spear and shield.

"We must intensify the reconnaissance of the fleet, and the navy must step up the development of night reconnaissance planes and all-weather fighters, and we must remember that 'discovering first' means attacking first and means the initiative in battle!" This was the advice His Majesty left for the Navy when he left the Shiyuan, and it was a suggestion that inspired the naval officers and changed the tactical application of many carrier battle groups.

However, the officers and men of the navy, who admired His Majesty's erudition even more, did not know that this was not His Majesty's invention, but that this was the key to victory in the decisive battle between the US military and the Japanese aircraft carrier in another world!
