"Your Majesty, I think this drill can be over!" The battleships Han Gaozu and Han Emperor had already been sunk, and the heavy cruiser Ussuri River had also been heavily damaged, leaving only one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers and four destroyers in the battleship formation. There's no need to fight anymore! Navy Minister Zhang Chengjian said. There is no doubt that the aircraft carrier 'Kunlun' has already won this exercise, and it has won the victory by an absolute advantage!

"Hmmm! Give the order to end the exercise! Wang Yuze nodded. Although, at the present time, the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier has no time to launch a third wave of attacks. However, as long as it waits until tomorrow after dawn, the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier will be able to send planes again to search for the traces of the battleship formation, and after finding it, it only needs to launch another wave of attacks to be able to thoroughly understand all the capital ships of the battleship formation.

The order to end the exercise was quickly issued, and the three-day exercise, which was originally planned, ended in one day. When the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier received the verdict that they had won the exercise, the entire aircraft carrier resounded with earth-shattering cheers. Their efforts in the past six months have finally been affirmed. Originally, before the aircraft carrier was affirmed, it was despised by many other naval soldiers. But now, with their abilities, they have proven themselves to everyone!

After the exercise, the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier continued to stay in the Whale Sea for training and further improved the problems exposed during the exercise. The battleship formation returned to its home port. In this exercise, they were hit too hard.

Subsequently, the emperor Wang Yuze asked the Ministry of Defense to issue an order for promotion. Commodore Chen Yuankun, commander of the Kunlun aircraft carrier, was promoted to rear admiral and concurrently served as commander of naval aviation. Colonel Liu Yuanhang, commander of the carrier-based aircraft wing of the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier. He was promoted to brigadier general and became the Director of Naval Aviation Training. You must know that Colonel Liu Yuanhang is only 29 years old this year, and a general who is less than 30 years old is not easy in these years of relative peace!

The battlecruiser 'Baiqi' also returned from the Sea of Whales. This exercise has brought a great shock to the military giants, especially the top brass of the navy. Now they no longer doubt that aircraft carriers will set off a new round of changes in the Navy. Albeit. These traditional admirals felt uncomfortable replacing their beloved battleships with aircraft carriers. However, the Imperial Navy was once again ahead of the rest of the world, which made them very excited. No doubt. At a time when countries around the world are vigorously developing battleships, the Chinese Navy has begun to develop aircraft carriers. When the overwhelming number of carrier-based aircraft rushed towards the enemy's battleships, the whole world would probably be stunned! When the time comes, the Imperial Navy will be able to achieve victory in the war at the slightest cost. This is also very happy for them as admirals!

"Your Majesty, now that the aircraft carrier has proven its combat power, I will build the future development direction of the Navy. The focus shifted to aircraft carriers. Simply stop building the 'Don-class' battleships and devote all resources to aircraft carriers. As for the battleships of the new class, there is no need to develop them! Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wu said. Now the cost of aircraft carriers, even with the addition of carrier-based aircraft. Not as expensive as battleships. And the combat power is far stronger than the battleship. Therefore, he believed that the construction of battleships should be stopped and the development of aircraft carriers should be pursued in full force. This will undoubtedly increase the strength of the Navy on a larger scale!

The Admiralty Minister opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say much. 'Don-class' battleship. It is a decisive combat force that the navy is looking forward to, and if it is cut, it is estimated that the navy will be very disappointed. However, he had to admit that the construction of Xiong Wu, the chief of the General Staff, was also very reasonable. With the military expenses for the construction of the 'Tang-class' battleships, several more 'Kunlun' aircraft carriers can be built!

"Aircraft carriers need to be vigorously developed, but the construction of battleships cannot be stopped either. Now that our navy has become the object of attention of the navies of various countries, if we stop the construction of battleships, it will make all countries suspicious, which is not in our interests. Therefore, our battleships will continue to be built, and the four 'Tang-class' battleships of the Navy will strive to be commissioned in the next three years, and at the same time, the design of battleships of the new class will also begin, but the number of construction will not be very large, probably only one or two. In this way, we can allow the countries of the world to continue to devote their limited resources to the bottomless pit of battleships. Just like when we built battle cruisers. We have actually built only first-class battlecruisers, but the British and American countries and Germany, have already built two- and third-class battlecruisers. Now we continue to build battleships, and this is the same reason. In due course, we also need to come out and add a fire to the fact that everyone will continue to strengthen the construction of battleships. For example, after the launch of the 'Tang-class' battleship, we can appropriately leak some information to make countries feel threatened. In this case, they will definitely increase their investment in the navy! As for aircraft carriers, we also want to speed up their development. On the side of the battleship design office, it is necessary to come up with a design plan for a new aircraft carrier. The 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier is too low, and it carries too few fighters. At a minimum, the new aircraft carrier should be able to carry more than 90 fighters. In this case, a carrier fleet consisting of two aircraft carriers would be enough to launch a large-scale attack on the enemy. In the next four years, I hope that the Navy will be able to build six large aircraft carriers and form three aircraft carrier fleets! The role of the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier is to train enough carrier-based aircraft pilots and commanders for naval aviation, and to continue to explore a set of effective tactics! Wang Yuze commanded!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Cheng nodded. He also knows that in the future, aircraft carriers will become the focus of the development of the Navy. His main work will also revolve around the construction of naval aviation!

"In addition, confidentiality must be done well. At least until the start of the war, the enemy must not be allowed to discover the direction of our naval development! Wang Yuze emphasized again.

"Yes, Your Majesty! In the future, the training of aircraft carriers will be carried out in the Whale Sea, where there are relatively few merchant ships passing by, and some warships will be sent to defend during the training to ensure that the news will not leak! Zhang Cheng said.

"Your Majesty, what about the distribution of the future aircraft carrier fleet? Whether or not, like the battleships, all three fleets built their own aircraft carrier fleets. In my opinion, since aircraft carriers have become the future killer of the Navy, there is no need to expose them prematurely. Therefore, it is better for the aircraft carrier fleet to be equipped with a Turkish fleet, and it will be on the battlefield in wartime! Admiral Li Dingxin, commander of the Turkish fleet, said!

"Commander Li, how can this be? The Turkish fleet can't eat alone, right? Admiral Li Haitao, commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, immediately shouted. Everyone already knows the strength of the aircraft carrier, and the Turkish fleet still wants to eat alone, how is this possible!

"Yes! Commander Lee. The 'Han-class' battleship flotilla has already been divided into four, and our other two fleets are only one each. Aircraft carriers must be assigned to us no matter how they are prioritized! Vice Admiral Gao Yihai, commander of the Pacific Fleet, also spoke.

The aircraft carrier, which was still looked down upon by everyone, suddenly became the object of contention among everyone. As the commanders of the major fleets, of course, they have to find ways to strengthen the strength of their respective fleets. Everyone knows that the war is getting closer and closer, and only by strengthening the strength of their respective fleets can they establish more meritorious feats in future wars!

"Okay, don't grab it, everyone! It will take another three or four years for the aircraft carrier fleet to be built, and after it is completed, it will take half a year to a year to form combat effectiveness! Therefore, do not expect which fleet will be joined by the aircraft carrier fleet in the short term. Perhaps, when the war broke out, the aircraft carrier fleet would not be able to enter the war. Therefore, everyone could not abandon the training of battleships. As for the ownership of the aircraft carrier fleet, it will be directly under the Admiralty for the time being, and when it comes to wartime, it will be equipped for the use of major fleets! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After Wang Yuze spoke, everyone had no choice but to stop fighting. However, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, Gao Yihai, was full of joy. Everyone knows that after the start of the Great War, the United States will be the first target of the Empire's attack. And the strength of the US Navy is also exploding. Once the aircraft carrier fleet is built, the first one will definitely be put into operation in the Pacific direction!

After establishing the direction of the development of the navy, Wang Yuze saved a lot of worries. The Army is in the process of refitting and building up armored forces, and the Navy is also beginning to design new aircraft carriers and focus on building naval aviation. After the new Prime Minister Ng Dinh Phuong came to power, preparations for war have been accelerated. The whole world is getting closer and closer to the war!

On August 9, four huge battleships were docked at the North Naval Port in southern China. On the battleship, it was not a middle-aged man, but a Caucasian race. These four battleships are the four 'Santiago-class' battleships built for the Chilean Navy, and outside the port, there are two 'Chengdu-class' heavy cruisers, five 'Tianshui-class' light cruisers, and 10 'Dujiangyan-class' destroyers waiting. These warships were sold second-hand to the Chilean Navy. Four Santiago-class battleships have completed sea trials and were delivered to the Chilean Navy last month. After a month of training, the Chilean Navy has become familiar with the 'Santiago-class' battleships. Today is the day they leave for their home!

Chinese Navy Minister Zhang Cheng personally rushed to Beihai to see off the Chilean Navy, much to the flattery of Chilean Navy Minister Karl, who came to receive the warship. With the return of the Chilean fleet, the situation in South America will inevitably be further planned, and the outbreak of war in South America is already inevitable!
