Jingshi Xinhua Palace, Chengxian Hall, Base Camp Temporary No. 3 Real-time Demonstration Hall.

On the huge demonstration panel, which is about 10 meters long and 6 or 7 meters wide, the outline of the Indian subcontinent is clear and concrete, with plains, mountains, rivers, cities, and seas all marked in corresponding colors and diagrams.

Around the demonstration panel, five or six female signmen with short ear-length hair, black navy caps, light blue uniforms, skirts, and white flats were pushing small models representing various units of the navy and army to the designated positions with the long push rods in their hands, in accordance with the instructions of the starting officer on the overhead corridor.

As the name suggests, the real-time demonstration hall is a two-hour continuous work, and the staff is on duty in three shifts, and as soon as they receive the latest information, they must immediately translate the content of the intelligence into the position change of the corresponding model on the demonstration board, so that decision-makers can grasp the battlefield situation from an intuitive perspective at any time.

At one end of the corridor, on the command platform surrounded by a glass curtain wall, Liu Qianhua, the empress of Chengxian, dressed in a special marshal skirt, black stockings and high heels, was sitting on her knees, listening to the analysis of the Indian Ocean war situation from the perspective of the new Second Operations Staff Officer of the Navy General Pan Guochen, who was standing beside her.

“…… Although our military's carrier-based aviation unit was established relatively early, and the methods of personnel selection and training have borrowed advanced experience beyond the times, and the average quality and training degree should be stronger than that of the other side, and the newly equipped carrier-based aircraft are far superior to the other side in terms of technical level and combat capability, they are limited by the overall technical level. The current aviation forces – both land-based and carrier-based – can hardly play a decisive role in large-scale battles in which a large number of battleships participate. ”

"Compared with the carrier-based aviation of the Second World War of the Second World War in that time and space, the carrier-based aircraft of our army at present can only attack targets 100 nautical miles away, while the maximum attack radius of the aircraft carrier mobile force in that era is more than 200 nautical miles. 100 nautical miles is only a four-hour voyage for a first-line cruiser in this era, but at this distance, a wave of aviation attacks takes more than three hours. One can imagine how dangerous the mothership would be in the event of an attack......"

"The carrier-based aviation of that era was equipped with both dive bombers and torpedo planes, and when fighting against ships, dive bombers were used to close the flight deck of the opponent's aircraft carriers, weaken or attract the opponent's anti-aircraft fire, and the torpedo planes dealt a fatal blow. And now we have only torpedo planes, no dive bomber coordination. A simple torpedo attack was bound to be intercepted by enemy fighters and anti-aircraft artillery fire, and the combat effectiveness could not be compared with that era. Moreover, compared with the all-metal torpedo aircraft of that era with a maximum speed of 300 to 400 kilometers per hour, the maximum speed of our new Golden Eagle attack aircraft with aluminum bone, sail and wood veneer is less than 180 kilometers when unloaded, and it is even more clumsy and slow after loading the torpedo. Not to mention the enemy's carrier-based aircraft, which are technologically inferior to ours. ”

"So-"

Pan Guochen spread his hands, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a wisp of excitement, emotion, intoxication, and ecstasy: "The protagonists of this battle will still be giant ships and cannons, and more specifically, those great crystallization of the most representative techniques and ideas of this great industrial era——"

Qianhua squinted helplessly, raised her hand and shook her fingers: "Stop." The crystallization of something, you go back and look for a mirror to discuss it slowly, I don't have time to listen to you sing, pick up the truth. ”

Pan Guochen smiled and scratched the back of his head - obviously he hadn't heard the deep meaning of "crystallization" for a while.

"I'm sorry, I haven't touched this for a long time, and I became excited again when I mentioned it, please forgive the emperor."

Qianhua squinted and smiled evilly, snapped his fingers: "Go on." ”

"Yes. I will continue my analysis from the point of view of the main warships – according to the latest intelligence, the Combined Fleet of the Indian Ocean Entente currently has at least twenty-one Dreadnought battleships and five battlecruisers – and I will assume that the design principles and technical capabilities of most of these ships are not much different from the data in our computers. In contrast, our East Asian Combined Fleet had 18 dreadnought battleships and six battle cruisers participating in the battle, which was slightly inferior in numbers. ”

"The latest intelligence is that the total number of enemy capital warships is twenty-three." After Pan Guochen finished speaking, Qian Huacai added, "The two new ones." It is said that the ships ordered by Brazil and Chile were detained. After it was completed in a hurry, it was sent over to make up the number. ”

When Pan Guochen heard this, he clenched his fists again and became excited: "Hmm." In this way, the holy relics of the seven turrets are also here! Aginkut! The glorious multi-turret god cult ultimate relic, it would be nice to be able to hand it over and play with it......"

"Pan-country-minister!" A horizontal line is faintly visible on the Empress's forehead, which clearly belongs to the meaning of non-kindness.

Pan Guochen hurriedly lowered his head and patted his chest: "Yes, the minister is out of shape...... The emperor forgives the sins...... So, I continued—"

"In terms of firepower, the total number of main guns of our battleships and battle cruisers is 192, of which 32 are 380 mm caliber, 128 are 350 mm, and 32 are 305 mm. All ships are equipped with a full set of main gun fire control equipment that is more than 10 years more advanced than the contemporary, and each team flagship and reserve flagship are equipped with instantaneous transmission equipment for gun control data, which can quickly dispatch team firepower. ”

"The total number of opponents' main guns...... Plus the Agincourt and Chilean ones with 356 guns...... Yes, 274 guns, of which 40 were of 381 mm caliber, 122 were 343 mm and 356 mm, and 112 were 305 mm, although all of them also had twin turrets, but they were installed in a variety of ways, and the total number of main guns available on one side was ...... 232 doors, 40 more than us, of which 343 doors above the caliber of 162 mm, all of which are available on one side, 2 more than us. Only 305 doors can be used on the ground side of 70 mm caliber, which is 38 more than us. If my previous assumption is true, then the other party's fire control technique should be 10 years behind us, let me give you an example-"

At that time, in the famous Battle of Jutland in 1916, the two fleets engaged in an artillery battle at a distance of 17,000 kilometers, and the German Navy was already ahead of the British in using a Zeiss stereo rangefinder with a baseline length of 3 meters. The rangefinder equipped on our warships is not only not inferior to the Zeiss type at that time, but the baseline length has also increased to more than 5 meters, and our army's Pinghai-class battleships are even equipped with the largest rangefinder in the world with a baseline length of 8 meters. The longer the rangefinder baseline, the greater the controllable engagement distance of the main guns, as demonstrated by the Thunder-class battlecruiser commanded by Yuan Xu in the Battle of the Gulf of Alaska a few months ago. The use of a domestically produced 5-meter rangefinder can fully provide reliable artillery control data at a distance of 20,000 meters for its 350-mm main gun, that is to say, our main battleship can fire first of the enemy by virtue of its technical superiority if meteorological conditions permit. Of course, I hope that the other side has not yet recognized this gap. ”

“…… As far as defense is concerned, the first-line warships of our army generally sacrifice the length of the armor belt - that is, the armor protection of the non-critical parts of the bow and tail of the battleship - and the number of main turrets. Ensure that critical areas such as engine rooms, ammunition depots, gun mounts, turrets, etc., are more fully protected. The maximum thickness of the main armor belt of all battleships and even battle cruisers of our army is more than 300 mm, of which the maximum thickness of the main armor belt of Pinghai-class battleships reaches 350 mm, and the average thickness of horizontal armor also reaches 120 mm, and the performance of armor steel should not be below the opponent. ”

"As for the Combined Entente Fleet," Pan Guochen breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze began to wander around the entrance at the other end of the cloister. "As far as I know, there are only 5 of the latest Queen Elizabeth-class warships with a maximum thickness of 330 mm for the main armor belt and 76 mm for horizontal armor. Others, 4 Orion-class and 4 George V-class main armor belts are up to 305 mm thick, 2 Giant-class ships are 280 mm, 1 Poseidon class is 254 mm, and I don't know about the Danton-class 2 ships in France that were fanned by butterfly wings, and the 2 Kolbe-class ships that can be verified should be 27 mm. By the way, the Helgolan-class that the Netherlands bought from Germany is also 305 mm, as for the Agincourt requisitioned from Brazil, and the Chilean custom-built ship equipped with American main guns, the thickest main armor belt is only 228 mm, and the life of an eggshell. Yes, that's right. And those thin-skinned war patrols that Fisher's old angry young men had drummed up. 4 Lion-class ships are 228 mm, and 1 Indefatigable class ship...... Poor 152 mm. In front of the 350-mm main gun equipped by our army's combat patrol uniform, it is almost like an eggshell. ”

“…… Overall, the armor protection performance of our warships is above that of the other side, of course, I also hope that the other side has not correctly recognized this, because the relevant figures we have announced to the outside world are very low, and the two Yangbo class ships sold to Turkey have also done tricks to reduce the maximum thickness of 300 mm landlord armor belt to 254 mm ......"

It's coming, that guy is coming!

The delicate and charming little face, the moist and elastic skin, the crisp chest and the half-exposed dress—Pan Guochen's eyes widened, and he couldn't wait to swallow something in one gulp, of course, now he could only swallow his own saliva.

"Counselor Pan, are you done?"

Qianhua saw that person from a distance, but pretended not to know, and played an official tone with Pan Guochen, and her heart was full of anticipation for watching the play.

Pan Guochen "uh" for a moment, smirked twice helplessly, and finally managed to contain the blazing gaze that almost burned through the thick glass curtain wall in front of him.

"I didn't ...... It's not over, I continue, keep going...... The last is maneuverability, the maximum speed of our 6 battlecruiser formations is 28 knots, and the maximum speed of 18 battleship formations is 22 knots, but 12 of them Pinghai class and Yangbo class can drive up to 25 knots at the earliest, and if necessary, they should be able to act separately from the 6 slower ones, but this is at the risk of losing 6 weak ships - it depends on the commander's on-the-spot performance. Looking at the other side again, the maximum speed of the 5 battlecruiser formations is 26 knots, and the maximum speed of the 23 battleship formations is 20 knots, which are not as good as our side, but I personally think that Jericho is likely to follow the arrangement of the Jutland naval battle in that time and space, and the 5 Queen-class fast battleships will be incorporated into the avant-garde forces, so that although the overall formation speed of the avant-garde troops will drop to 24 knots, in the face of the 6 battlecruisers of our reconnaissance forces, there will be an advantage in troops......"

It's closer...... It's closer...... Flowers and moons, slender shadows, familiar and unfamiliar, looking forward to but apprehensive, not first love, but better than first love - Pan Guochen's breathing became short, and his palms were sweating.

"Well, in addition, in the known battle sequence of the Entente Combined Fleet, there is no ship comparable to the Kunlun-class rapid patrol of our army, which is dedicated to aircraft carrier escort, and I guess that the other side is likely to integrate the aircraft carrier into the avant-garde force for more reliable protection......"

Hearing this, Qianhua squinted at someone outside the glass door, and then flicked Pan Guochen's arm, pretending to be surprised: "Yo, the mirror is here, I haven't even noticed, Pan Guochen, go open the door." ”

Pan Guochen coughed twice, and then pretended garlic: "Yes, I just saw it, this ...... Here it goes. ”

"Wait," Qianhua's expression suddenly became serious, "Pan Guochen, ask you something." ”

Pan Guochen blinked: "Yes, excuse me." ”

"It's comfortable to take a car, or it's comfortable to take a boat."

Pan Guochen tilted his head and stayed for a second, then immediately came back to his senses and smiled brightly: "Of course, it is comfortable to sit in the car, but if I can't stand on the bridge of a high battleship and witness with my own eyes how the sea in this era is ignited by millions of tons of steel, it would be a great tragedy for me to choose to stay here." "Isn't humanity itself the greatest tragedy?"

Qianhua stood up with her skirt, and her tone was very calm and detached.

Pan Guochen shrugged: "Unfortunately, it's none of my business. ”

Qian Hua smiled: "Very good, you will have a chance, but not this time...... Don't go yet, your mirror will be in a hurry. ”

Pan Guochen didn't thank him, just made an OK gesture, and then turned and walked towards the glass door...... Ye Jingying, the female official behind the glass door.

Behind him, Qian Hua, who folded his arms and looked calm, just said to himself: "If the fate of mankind is destined to be a tragedy...... So...... It's up to me to ......."

"Your Majesty, dinner is ready, do you want to invite Counselor Pan with you?"

The call of the mirror bounced from the side of the door, of course, followed by Pan Guochen's dissuasion, Qianhua casually flicked his fingers, put away his indulgent thoughts, and responded in an official tone: "Passing the order, Major General Pan Guochen's staff officer, accompany you for dinner today-" Climb ^ book ^ net, this chapter is first published by "".
