After throwing the generals into the Army University for further study, Wang Yuze's ears were a lot quieter. After the exercise, many of these generals met with Wang Yuze every day, hoping to turn their group army into an armored army. However, Wang Yuze refused without thinking about it. The Praetorian Guard had only three divisions, so it could be turned into an armored corps. The other armies, each with more than six infantry divisions, would cost more than an armored army! In addition, like the Ninth Army in the South Seas region, the scope of activity is mainly jungle and rainforest areas, even if they are given enough tanks, they can't move!

In Wang Yuze's vision, in addition to the Praetorian Guard becoming an armored army, it will serve as a decisive force in the war. For the remaining armies, an armored brigade can be added to the armies. In addition, some divisions below army groups can be upgraded to mechanized infantry divisions, equipped with a certain number of light tanks and armored vehicles. However, given the current financial resources, it is not possible to upgrade all the troops. The group armies that are mainly fighting against Russia and the group armies that are about to go to the United States will be the first to complete the rearmament and upgrading. As for the rest of the troops, it will be up to the specific situation at that time! Although, whether it is the 'Cheetah' tank or the 'Wild Wolf' tank, the performance is still relatively poor, especially the high failure rate, which has affected the combat effectiveness of the troops. However, this was unavoidable in the early days of the establishment of armored forces, because of the level of science and technology. With the improvement of science and technology, this problem can be solved after all. China's current level of science and technology, mainly in the field of military technology, is already in the forefront of the world. However, in terms of building armored forces. There are still some things that are not enough. It's going to take some time to build!

After approving the army's rearmament and the construction of armored units, Wang Yuze's main energy was focused on the smooth transition of the cabinet and the training of the navy's aircraft carriers. After the beginning of spring, the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier has already traveled from Qingdao to the Whale Sea for training. Generally speaking, the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier force is steadily forming, which makes Wang Yuze very satisfied!

In June, Prime Minister Yang Hua officially stepped down and went home to recuperate. Over the years, he has also been very tired. Even if Yang Hua is a person who is greedy for power. But after all these years, the prime minister is already exhausted. Wang Yuze doesn't care about small matters in government affairs, and leaves them to the cabinet to decide, which makes the prime minister very busy every day. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's all about the day. After a few years, Yang Hua couldn't support it. After leaving office, although he had a lot less power, as the father-in-law of the emperor Wang Yuze, his status in the empire was also high.

Foreign Minister Ng Dinh Phuong Soon took over as Prime Minister of the Empire, becoming the third Prime Minister of the Empire. Although, Wu Tingfang has been engaged in diplomatic work before. But the powers and responsibilities of the Prime Minister of the Reich are also very clear. In addition, the specific affairs are the responsibility of the cabinet ministries, and he only needs to see the final result. So, even in the beginning, there was a bit of a rush. But you can get used to it quickly. The post of Minister of Foreign Affairs was taken over by Vice Minister Tang Siu-yee. Compared with Wu Tingfang, Tang Shaoyi's talent in diplomacy is not inferior in any way. Moreover, the empire is now powerful. There is no need to look at the face of any country anymore. The difficulty of diplomatic work is also much less than before!

Other than that. The fact that Ng Dinh Phong took over as prime minister is a reason why there is no preparation for war. Once the war broke out, the cooperation between countries became even more ordinary. Even between the allies, for their own interests, I am afraid that there will be a lot of conflicts. When the time comes, the diplomats will certainly be very busy. A prime minister who understands diplomacy is very important in this regard!

In early July, Wang Yuze once again summoned Commodore Chen Yuankun, commander of the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier, to ask whether the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier's combat strength had been formed.

Brigadier General Chen Yuankun reported to Wang Yuze that after half a year of training, the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier has formed its combat effectiveness and can participate in the battle! This result made Wang Yuze very satisfied. It can be seen that over the past six months, the officers and men of the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier have been very fortunate. Otherwise, it is not so easy for an aircraft carrier to form combat effectiveness in just half a year!

After that, Wang Yuze summoned the Minister of the Navy, Zhang Cheng, and asked him to arrange an exercise between the aircraft carrier 'Kunlun' and the battleship.

Just one day later, Zhang Chengcheng submitted a plan for the exercise. This time, the exercise was scheduled for 28 July. For the sake of secrecy, the whale will be carried out at sea. At the same time, the Navy will dispatch warships to blockade the nearby sea areas.

In the plan submitted by the Admiralty, the aircraft carrier "Kunlun" was composed of the heavy cruiser "Heilongjiang", the light cruiser "Taizhou", and the destroyers "Linhai" and "Wenling". The opponent consisted of the 'Han-class' battleships 'Han Gaozu' and 'Han Emperor', the heavy cruisers 'Ussuri River' and 'Yalu River', the light cruisers 'Huzhou' and 'Quzhou', and the destroyers 'Jiangshan', 'Yiwu', 'Lanxi' and 'Dongyang'. In terms of size, the fleet on the side of the battleships was twice as large as on the side of the aircraft carriers. Originally, in the plan submitted by the Minister of the Navy Zhang Cheng, the battleship side only sent one battleship and one heavy cruiser. However, Wang Yuze thought that if it was one-on-one, it would not be able to show the huge role of the aircraft carrier, so he asked Zhang Cheng to double the formation on the battleship's side!

The exercise began on July 28 and lasted for three days. The two sides are engaged in a battle in the waters west of the Whale Sea. On 28 July, Wang Yuze, the chief of the General Staff, the minister of the army and navy, and the minister of national defense, as well as the commanders and chiefs of staff of the various fleets, rushed to the sea area of the exercise aboard the battlecruiser 'Baiqi'. The battlecruiser "Bai Qi," 15 kilometers away from the battleship formation, watched the exercise from a distance. The reason why the battleship formation followed was that the fleet was very large, whether it was an aircraft carrier attacking the battleship formation, or a battleship formation finding an aircraft carrier and attacking the aircraft carrier, the battlecruiser "Bai Qi" was able to see the battle situation clearly.

Wang Yuze had great hopes for this exercise. Within the navy, there are many believers in the cannon of giant ships. Everyone expected to build more and bigger battleships. And this is a complete waste of national strength. If Wang Yuze wants to stop this phenomenon from the root, he must convince everyone. Therefore, the maneuvers of the passage guò and the aircraft carrier, using the aircraft carrier to defeat the battleship, became the best way!

In command of the battleship formation was Commodore Li Deming, the captain of the battleship 'Han Gaozu', who was a staunch believer in the cannon of a giant ship. In his opinion, a duel with the main guns of a battleship is a truly brave navy. For those toys on the aircraft carrier, he looked down on them at all.

"Ordered four destroyers and two light cruisers, to keep a distance and search for traces of the 'Kunlun'. Once you find the Kunlun, report it immediately! Although Li Deming doesn't look down on aircraft carriers, he also knows that if he wants to defeat the other side, he must first discover the other party, and then find a way to close the distance between the two sides to the range of the battleship's main guns. Li Deming is confident that he will defeat Kunlun. This is because the maximum speed of the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier is only 21 knots, while the maximum speed of the 'Han-class' battleship is as high as 25 knots. Once the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier is discovered, there will be absolutely no way to escape. The 343 mm main guns of the 'Han-class' battleships can send a weak aircraft carrier to the bottom of the sea with just one shot. It's just that Li Deming seems to have forgotten that the combat power of the aircraft carrier is not the body, but the fighters on board!

At this time, the distance between the two sides was only 250 kilometers, and the four 'Seagull' seaplanes carried on the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier had already been sent by Commodore Chen Yuankun to find the location of the battleship formation.

The 'Seagull' seaplane is the navy's main reconnaissance aircraft, and although its maximum speed is only 120 kilometers per hour, its maximum range is 600 kilometers. Because the approximate location of each other was already known in advance, four 'Seagulls' seaplanes, at an interval of forty kilometers, searched south. At the same time, destroyers and light cruisers, sent by battleship formations, were also searching north. It's just that neither a light cruiser nor a destroyer can compete with an aircraft in speed.

At 11 a.m., a Seagull seaplane spotted the light cruiser Huzhou in the battleship formation and reported to the carrier. Brigadier General Chen Yuankun ordered the other three 'Seagull' seaplanes to continue to reconnoiter in this direction. At the same time, fighters, bombers and torpedo attack aircraft on the aircraft carrier will attack as soon as they discover the location of the battleship formation!

At 12 o'clock in the morning, the "Seagull" seaplane spotted the battleships "Han Gaozu" and "Han Di", and immediately made a report to the aircraft carrier. At this time, the distance between the two sides had been shortened to one hundred and eighty kilometers. The battleships of the battleship formation are already within the attack range of the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier.

Brigadier General Chen Yuankun made a quick decision and gave the order to attack. All 48 fighters on board the aircraft carrier set off and flew towards the sea area where the target was located. Among them, the fighters are in the front, responsible for searching for the specific location of the target, the bomber is in the center, and the torpedo attack aircraft is in the end!

At 1:12 p.m., the battleship formation, which was turning, was spotted by carrier-based aircraft sent by the aircraft carrier 'Kunlun'. Suddenly, a dense group of fighters rushed towards the battleship 'Han Gaozu'. According to Commodore Chen Yuankun's order, first concentrate all your efforts to sink one of the enemy's battleships, and then reorganize the second attack!
