With a sigh of relief, Bi Lingbo continued: "In addition, how to operate the mobile fleet, we can only do our best to complete the task under the orders of the base camp, if the base camp orders us to attack the enemy's main force, of course we can only do not hesitate and resolutely carry it out!" ”

Liang Shuming glanced to the side contemptuously: "Just those old decays in the Navy Department in the base camp? Will it still make us steal the credit? After the Battle of Pearl Harbor, there were constant doubts about the warship forces inside and outside the military, and the theory of aviation victory had just raised its head and was immediately suppressed by these old things. Look at the Navy Supplement Act at the beginning of the year, they still have to waste a lot of money to build those useless oversized iron coffins, what Tianzi battleships, far-word battle cruisers, all of them are waste, and the counterweight patrol of an aircraft carrier in one water is the right way! Save the money for making all that garbage, build more than a dozen aircraft carriers, 46 aircraft carriers and > teams, and during the decisive battle, three or four mobile troops will march in from different directions, and release thousands of planes in one wave, killing ghosts and killing Buddhas! ”

"Commander, let's face it!"

Liang Shuming smiled coldly: "Reality? The reality is that a bunch of old stubborns have become an obstacle for the Imperial Navy to move towards a new era, and without overthrowing them, the Imperial Navy will not be able to be reborn, let alone achieve victory! It's very simple, fight the battleship, can we fight the United Kingdom and the United States? Even if we temporarily rely on surprise attacks to form a local advantage, as long as the core industrial areas of Britain and the United States are safe and sound, they will continue to replenish the losses, and we will never be able to overwhelm each other in the speed of building ships, and it can even be said that the United Kingdom and the United States are absolutely overwhelming us in terms of the speed of building ships! ”

"Since the construction of warships cannot be fought hard, then we should completely abandon warships and completely switch to aircraft carriers, and when the enemy is still wasting a lot of resources for outdated warships, we will use all our resources to build aircraft carrier forces. In this way, it will be possible to achieve an overwhelming superiority in carrier-based aviation - while completely overpowering the opponent's carrier-based aviation, it will also have sufficient ground strength to deal with the enemy's warship forces. Those stupid warships can't catch up with us, they can't escape and can't escape the planes, they can only be beaten by our planes in turn during the day, and they have to play with our submarines and lightning strikers at night, and it is enough for the aircraft carrier to have high-speed heavy patrols such as Kunlun around, and it is no problem to fight those light patrols of more than 30 knots, expelling or something! Comparing a battleship with the enemy and hitting the enemy's strength with his own shortcomings is the real disregard for reality! ”

Bi Lingbo said solemnly: "My opinion remains the same. I myself am a believer in the theory of aviation victory, but it is still too early for aircraft carriers to completely replace artillery giants at this stage, and it is precisely because the top management has seen this clearly that it is in the new naval supplementary bill that the development of warships and aircraft carriers is balanced, no, it should be said, balanced development in all aspects. The navy is a complex system, and the naval fleet also needs all kinds of large and small ships to cooperate in operations, and the balanced development policy at the present stage should be the result of comprehensive consideration. Relying on a treasure bag to win the world, this kind of thing should be treated with caution......"

"Report! Call from the Combined Fleet Command! ”

The communications staff officer, who hurriedly climbed onto the air defense command post, interrupted the debate between the two generals with a big grin and presented a telegram to Liang Shuming with both hands.

Liang Shuming turned around. After taking the message and skimming through it, he sighed slightly unconsciously.

"What? And to change the sea area of the exercise? Bi Lingbo asked with concern.

"Old man Sa asked me to go to a meeting, and I don't know what kind of banquet to put on the table...... I'll leave it to you after I'm gone. Remember, I've practiced hard, no one is allowed to be lazy, your bodhisattva's heart will be put away for me first, honestly pretend to be a bull-headed horse-faced villain, take a whip all the time, and draw until they dream of fighting and killing the enemy! ”

"Understood!"

……

The flight deck of the "Roc". A "Haiyun Electric" fighter with the tail painted with the white crane sunburst mark successfully hooked a blocking cable in the middle of the deck, and came to a steady stop, and as soon as the nose propeller stopped, a slender and agile figure jumped out of the open cockpit. Jumping onto the deck with wings and unhooking his flight cap, a jet-black ponytail dangled from the back of his head.

I have been waiting for a long time next to the ship island. Second Lieutenant Qi Bing, who had short ear-length hair, jumped up to greet him: "Sister Cai, the stop-and-stop action just now was too perfect, and the inspector above will give you a score." ”

Stuck to this kitten was none other than Captain Cai Guolan, the leader of the 504th Squadron, the highest-ranking female officer in the Imperial Navy to date.

I saw Cai Guolan fanning the wind with a flight cap in one hand, stroking Qi Bing's cat's ears - no - short hair with the other, and strode towards the ship island.

A muscular, valiant-looking man stopped him.

"Captain Cai."

Cai Guolan nodded politely: "Captain Dongfang, is there something wrong?" ”

The one who came was Captain Dongfang Ming, the leader of the 501st Ship Battle Squadron on the same ship, and the "number one trump card" who currently ranked first in the Imperial Navy's downfall list, with a total record of 13 planes - the No. 2 ace frame.

"Interested in the exchange between the trumps?" Dongfang Ming crossed his waist with one hand and said confidently.

Qi Bing frowned unhappily, dragged Cai Guolan to the side, and chanted in his mouth: "Hungry, hungry, not interested, not interested......"

Cai Guolan tilted her body

Qi Bing dragged away, just smiling slightly when he brushed the ground next to Dongfang Ming. ”

A quarter of an hour later, in the flight officer's dining room, the three of them sat around a small aluminum table with chairs for four people holding a tray. According to the Navy's 20-year practice, the officers' cafeteria of large warships will arrange Western food in the form of a buffet at lunch, and at this time, the three of them are also serving salads, steaks, bacon, seafood, bread, orange juice, fresh fruits and other Western meals, especially Qi Bing's plate is also piled with bright and big cream stewed lobster - this is a rare benefit.

"Lobster, lobster, fat lobster......" Qi Bing sharpened his knife and fork excitedly, carefully dissecting the delicious food in front of him.

Cai Guolan took a sip of orange juice, pulled the salad on the plate with a fork, and said coldly: "It's about the new aircraft, your squadron has also been affected by the change of clothes?" ”

Dongfang Ming put down the knife and fork he had just raised, and nodded: "Yes, I am used to the sea lightning in the south of the Yangtze River, and the new machine in Beiyang is different in many places, and some things have to be started from scratch, and the combat skills training will not be able to keep up." ”

"The performance of the new machine has really improved a lot, although the speed increase is not obvious, but the turning is smooth, and the response when climbing is good......"

"Our new machine is still so stupid," Qi Bing muttered with something in his mouth, "No, it should be said that it is even more stupid, with a seat and a radio station, the operation is very difficult, but the speed has increased significantly, and the fuel gauge is not so easy to turn red......"

"Fool, the golden eagle is not so stupid, it is you who have no strength."

While saying this, Captain Qi Peng, the leader of the 116th Naval Attack Squadron, Qi Bing's brother, held the dinner plate with one hand and occupied the last seat at the table.

—

Dongfang Ming greeted Qi Peng with a smile: "It's Captain Qi, it's okay, this is the exchange between the squadron leaders......

Qi Bing puffed out his cheeks angrily: "Hey, treat people as air." ”

Qi Peng raised his fork towards his sister: "Eat yours, eat more and you will have strength, and if you have strength, you won't feel that it is difficult to open a golden eagle." ”

"What a golden eagle, it's a fat eagle with overnutrition......"

Qi Peng smiled and picked up a piece of fish meat and brought it to Qi Bing's mouth: "So only overnourished pilots can drive, come, open your mouth." ”

Qi Bing snorted and turned his face: "Bad guy, you will hurt me if you have a chance, don't eat or eat." ”

Qi Peng winked at Cai Guolan, and now it was Cai Guolan's turn to pick up a piece of pineapple and put it to Qi Bing's mouth: "Be good, don't eat your brother, eat mine." ”

"Of course Sister Cai's has to ......" The kitten turned her face excitedly, just opened her mouth, but her mouth contained her brother's fish meat, and then looked at Cai Guolan, who was smiling and sending pineapple pieces to her mouth.

"Nasty...... The ...... of the two of you Ignore you! ”

Grunting and swallowing the fish, Qi Bing lowered his head in anger and abused the innocent lobster on the plate.

After sending away the pestering cat, Qi Peng broke the bread in his hand and sent a grateful smile to Cai Guolan diagonally opposite: "Didn't bother you, right?" ”

"Where, I'm communicating with the captain of the Dongfang Squadron about the change of clothes, and you came just in time - the ship attack team has been changing the Golden Eagle for 1 month, how do you feel?"

Qi Peng crooked his neck: "As Xiaoice said just now, the maneuverability is indeed not as good as the original Thunder Eagle, but the airspeed and range after carrying mines have been improved, and more importantly, each aircraft has been equipped with radios, a special radio seat has been set up, and the squadron planes can shout between each other, and the squadron leader and auxiliary aircraft can take telegrams with the mother ship and even other warships, which was not possible before." ”

Dipping in the thick soup and swallowing a piece of bread, Qi Peng continued: "Well, in the past, only the wing commander and a few spare command functions could contact the mother ship, and each squadron could only watch the command aircraft play signal flares or shake the wings to act. After each aircraft has a radio, it is much easier to command, and it is not so easy to break up and fall behind when encountering bad weather...... I think that the radio alone far outweighs the lack of maneuverability, enough to squeeze the Thunder Eagle off the mothership. ”

Dongfang Ming shook his head and smiled while cutting the steak: "I'm really envious, each plane of the ship attack team has a radio station, and it can also shout in the air, but our ship battle team has never even touched the hair of the radio station." ”

Cai Guolan "cut": "If you are envious, change your career, and give me the position of the number one trump card." ”

"Just talk......

"Men are so hypocritical......

"Yo, Captain Cai and Second Lieutenant Qi are here." A familiar voice interrupted the low-level bickering between the two, and Cai Guolan looked up and saw that it was the handsome recorder in the waiting room.

"Is there something wrong?"

"I forgot to tell you that the post office has your letter."

"I know it, Xie Lu Xie ......"

"There is no sending address on the two letters, and the postmark is from Jingshi, which is mysterious and secret......"

The recorder winked ambiguously at the two of them, shook his head and dodged away.

Cai Guolan and Qi Bing looked at each other, and a string of question marks flashed between their pupils.
