Chapter 360: Good News from the United States (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Passes, Asking for Various !! )

In the evening, Chen Feng returned to the small building, Yan Changxi had already prepared a meal, which was very hearty, but it was full of fish, shrimp and seafood, and there was also a bottle of red wine.

In the middle of the meal, Chen Feng told Yan Changxi about the content of today's meeting, and at the same time told her some precautions. Of course, Chen Feng also handed over the genetic optimization solution that had been prepared to Yan Changxi.

When Chen Feng said that these bottles of liquid can increase the pregnancy rate, Yan Changxi's face suddenly turned red, and she was even more embarrassed when she thought of the madness of last night. The night was naturally fragrant, but it was not enough to carry it to the outside world.

On 30 October, the second batch of transport planes arrived in Jayapura, this time carrying an entire regiment of infantry and a large number of weapons and equipment, in addition to Chen Feng's commander-in-chief Wang Hansheng, deputy commander Li Gang, chief of staff Wei Guohua and others also arrived.

On the same day, the US government sent a telegram saying that the first batch of warships had all completed their sea trials and could be delivered, and they informed Chen Feng to send someone to receive them as soon as possible.

After receiving the telegram, Chen Feng was overjoyed and immediately ordered Lieutenant Commander Wu Shun, chief of staff of the Nanyang Consulate Navy who was in the United States, to immediately rush to Los Angeles and San Francisco to receive warships; since the number of naval ships to be delivered by the United States this time was 49, Chen Feng hurriedly ordered the navy of Nanyang Consulate to urgently transport a group of naval officers and men to the United States.

According to a telegram sent by the US government, a total of 49 warships were delivered this time, including 2 Essex-class fleet carriers, 2 Borg-class escort carriers, 3 New Orleans-class heavy cruisers, 8 Atlanta-class light cruisers, 8 Evac-class escort destroyers, 10 Cannon-class frigates, 12 torpedo boats, 1 minesweeper, 1 minelayer, and 2 submarines.

With the addition of these 49 new warships, Chen Feng's navy is finally in shape. In particular, with the addition of two large aircraft carriers and two escort aircraft carriers, Chen Feng is confident that as long as he goes through a period of running-in training and cooperates with advanced combat skills, even if his naval officers and men are inferior to the Japanese Navy's combined fleet in terms of quality and combat experience, they will definitely have the strength to fight a battle.

Moreover, Chen Feng knew very well that at the beginning of World War II, the navies of various countries in the world still relied on battleships with huge ships and cannons as the main force, and advocated the tactics of large-caliber, large-tonnage, and high-firepower; as for aircraft carriers, in their view, they were nothing more than airfields at sea, from which reconnaissance planes took off and landed and attack planes that had not yet proved their might, and the strategy, tactics, and role of carrier-based aviation were still in theoretical debate. Therefore, the aircraft carrier is actually a large and useless warship in the eyes of many officers.

Of course. There is a reason for this realization. Because the technical skills of the aircraft at that time were not up to standard, the flight range of the aircraft was short, the bomb load was limited, and the accuracy of the air-dropped bombs was extremely poor. Sometimes, a dozen warplanes chasing a battleship may not necessarily sink it. Sometimes, even after fighting for most of the day, not a single bomb hit the target. Therefore, the navies of various countries do not attach much importance to aircraft carriers, which is why the United States is only willing to sell Chen Feng's aircraft carriers, but not to his battleships.

However, the trend in the development of naval tactics is that the air force wins. It is the product of the perfect combination of aircraft carriers and carrier-based fighters, when fighter-bombers are overwhelming, when thousands or tens of thousands of pounds of super bombs fall on local warships, the huge and bulky battleship is actually a moving target, and the decline is unstoppable, which is why Chen Feng did not force the United States to sell battleships to him at that time.

The reason why Japan dared to brazenly launch the Pacific War was not because of those aircraft carriers, but on those dozen or so large battleships, as well as the super battleships Yamato and Musashi that were under construction.

As we all know, there are many factors for victory in a battle, but the most important thing is not the personnel and equipment, but reasonable tactics, otherwise a strong army will also be annihilated. The same is true for the Navy, and one can imagine what the result will be when thousands of J-5, J-6 and strategic bombers appear on the heads of the Japanese naval fleet.

In the past, Chen Feng only had good fighters and no good sea airfields, so there was no way to talk about the run-in of the navy, but now that he has 4 aircraft carriers at once, Chen Feng can show his strength. Especially the Essex-class fleet aircraft carrier, this is Chen Feng's long-favorite weapon of war, and it is also the most suitable aircraft carrier for Chen Feng to cooperate with J-5 and J-6.

The Essex-class aircraft carrier is the largest number of first-class aircraft carriers ever built by the U.S. Navy, and it is also the main combat power of the U.S. Navy in the Pacific War. Historically, the United States only planned to build such aircraft carriers in June 1940, and planned to build 11 aircraft carriers in 1940 and 2 in 1941. However, due to the appearance of Chen Feng, the U.S. government used the Essex-class aircraft carrier as a warship to trade with Chen Feng, so it began to produce this aircraft carrier early.

In addition, the design and construction of the Essex-class aircraft carrier began as early as 1937, so the United States happened to have two semi-finished products for experiments, so at the urging of Chen Feng, these two semi-finished products were soon ordered by the US government to build new warships and sold to Chen Feng, so the two Essex-class aircraft carriers will be completed in just one year.

The Essex-class aircraft carrier has a standard displacement of 27200 tons and a full load displacement of 34880 tons. The length of the ship (overall length) is 265.79 meters, the flight deck length is 262.13 meters, the beam is 28.35 meters, the flight deck is 29.26 meters wide, and the average draft is 7 meters. The hangar is 174 meters long, 21 meters wide and 5.4 meters high.

The propulsion unit of the Essex-class aircraft carrier is 8 boilers, 4 geared steam turbines, the main engine output is 150,000 shafts horsepower, 4 shafts, and a speed of 32.7 knots. It has a fuel capacity of 6,300 tons and a cruising range of 15,000 nautical miles / 15 knots.

The Essex-class aircraft carriers are equipped with 12 twin 127 mm high-level dual-purpose guns to deal with long-range targets. In addition, each ship is equipped with 8 quadruple 40mm "Bofors" guns, a total of 32 guns; And armed with 46 single-barreled 20-mm "Erikon" anti-aircraft guns.

According to the design requirements, the Essex-class aircraft carrier can carry 2 fighter squadrons (36 aircraft), 1 reconnaissance bomber squadron (18 aircraft); 1 squadron of dive bombers (18 aircraft), 1 squadron of torpedo bombers (18 aircraft), 1 dive bomber for liaison missions, a total of 91 aircraft; There are another 9 in reserve. The standard number of Essex-class aircraft carriers is 50% higher than the number of people designed to be built, totaling 3,442 people, including 382 officers and 3,060 soldiers.

It's really a good thing, just the production of new fighters, the seaport will be talked about, this time even the new warships are available, it seems that their naval strategy is still very successful, and when the points on hand are free, they will exchange a few large warships of later generations as flagships, and in exchange for a submarine production line, the naval fleet that will be formed at that time will be a fork.

On November 2, Chen Feng took out the small port construction order he had obtained in a natural deep-water area north of Port Moresby, and soon a port that could accommodate five million tons of cargo ships suddenly appeared in Port Moresby.

At the same time, a small oil field and oil refining equipment were built on a wasteland in the Kutub area, and Chen Feng had already had the oil field construction, because there was no suitable place in the country, so it has not been used. As for the specific location of the Kutubu oil field, Chen Feng spent 500 points to redeem it to the system, and he knew that Papua New Guinea has two large oil fields with reserves of 400 million barrels, but he didn't know what the specific location was, so he asked the system for help.

But just like that, he paid a full 500 points, which made Chen Feng feel very distressed for a while.

After dealing with these things, Chen Feng returned to Saibei, where there were many things waiting to be dealt with by himself.

It was already November 4 when they returned to Saibei, and the first batch of 50,000 Jews had already arrived in Ulaanbaatar, and it was expected to arrive in Saibei on the 6th.

Considering that there is only one airport in Nanyang Ling, with a maximum of 40 planes taking off and landing at a time, Chen Feng had no choice but to order Saibei Province to place those Jews in Guisui City first, and wait for the new airport over there to be repaired.

Chen Feng still has some concerns about immigration, that is, whether it is inappropriate to send millions of Jews to the island of New Guinea, after all, the hearts of non-my race must be different, and now there are less than 20,000 Han troops on the island, and there are no ordinary Han people, which is definitely not a good thing for the future development of the Nanyang Territory, thinking about it, Chen Feng decided that the first batch of 1 million Jews half stayed in Saibei and half moved to Nanyang Territory, and then gathered 500,000 Han people from Saibei to Nanyang Territory, It is necessary to ensure that the Han Chinese can reach one-third of the total population, so as to ensure the stability and security of the territory.

In addition, there will be 10,000 regular troops in the near future, and a large number of air forces have gone to Nanyang Territory, which will inevitably weaken the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Theater, so these troops must be replenished, Chen Feng is considering whether to recruit some Jews into the army, but thinking about it and rejecting this idea. Now those Jews have not yet been integrated into the entire Eighth War Zone, and such a hasty recruitment of those people into the army will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Jews, so let's wait and talk, besides, the results of the last expansion have not yet been fully digested, and it is indeed a bit too hasty to recruit new soldiers.
