Ye Fei has basically had no battle to fight in the past few months, and he has long been suffocated, and immediately fully supported Shen Honglie's proposal, and Hu Weidong was also a little moved, although history has proved that the effectiveness of using large warships to break diplomatic relations is far inferior to submarines, and even destroyers, torpedo boats and camouflage ships, but the deterrent effect produced by large warships to break diplomatic relations is incomparable to those auxiliary ships, in order to deal with the two warships of the battleship Bismarck and the heavy cruiser Prince Eugen, The British sent almost all the capital ships that could be drawn, and if the Japanese did the same, it would be exactly what he wanted.

However, when Hu Weidong forwarded the navy's petition to the central government, several major leaders of the Red Party, including Taizu, all expressed their opposition, and Hu Weidong quickly guessed their thoughts, China can have these two 10,000-ton giant ships is already very lucky, if they go to sea to fight and sink down, how can everyone bear it? At this time, Hu Weidong finally understood why Japan had not allowed Yamato-class battleships to fight in history, and only sent them out to "jade shattering" until the general trend of Zuihou was gone, and the Japanese high-level thinking at that time may have been similar.

However, Hu Weidong, as a military industry expert, did not take those two old ships so seriously, and after he assured the central authorities that as long as they could recover Luda and obtain the shipyards and workers and technicians there, they would be able to build advanced cruisers that were even more advanced than those two Japanese-style heavy cruisers in terms of displacement and performance within three years. If you can't win, you can leave; Only take advantage, do not suffer. ”

Considering the problem of endurance, Shen Honglie believes that only two large ships should be sent to sea, because they can both sail more than 15,000 kilometers continuously without getting supplies on the way, and if you bring an auxiliary ship such as a destroyer, it can certainly enhance the fleet's air defense and anti-submarine capabilities, but the endurance will be greatly reduced, and it will have to be replenished at the shore within a month, which will seriously affect the flexibility of tactics, which will greatly hinder the completion of the task of breaking diplomatic relations and the safety of the fleet.

At the beginning, Shen Honglie was Jihua who dismantled the two heavy cruisers for battle. This is because it will be possible to disrupt more routes to Japan. But Hu Weidong expressed his opposition, since what is needed is deterrence, then the two ships together will undoubtedly have a better effect. And the force is stronger, if these two heavy cruisers fight side by side. If the devil does not send out the Grand Fleet, there is no certainty of victory at all. But there must be ships in the Grand Fleet that are dragging their feet. It is impossible to catch up with these two heavy cruisers with a bulbous bow with a maximum speed of more than 36 knots, so the choice of battle is on our side, for a naval engagement with the nature of guerrilla warfare. This is crucial.

In addition, both battleships have been replaced with powerful new main guns and supporting ammunition, and some important parts have also been replaced with new armor plates that are almost twice as strong as before and have increased in thickness during maintenance, coupled with the most advanced shipborne radar system on Shijie, even if the devil's heavy cruiser is three enemies and one, it may not have much chance of winning, and the battleship cannot catch up with the heavy cruiser at all, so the only ones who can really pose a mortal threat to these two battleships are submarines and aircraft.

The torpedoes of the submarine are huge, especially the devils are still using the terrifying Type 93 heavy oxygen torpedoes, not to mention the heavy cruise, even if the battleship is hit by a shot, it is likely to sink directly, let alone the heavy cruise. However, because before the invention of the teardrop-shaped (or streamlined) submarine, the underwater speed of the submarine was as slow as possible, so if they wanted to attack the enemy ship, they could only rely on setting up an ambush in advance or sneaking up on the anchored ship, and the whereabouts of the broken ship were uncertain, unless the luck was back to just hit the submarine, otherwise this threat can basically be ignored, in fact, there are indeed rare examples of broken ships being sunk by submarines, so Hu Weidong is not worried in this regard, just reminded the commanders and fighters of the navy to pay attention to staying vigilant after going to sea.

As for airplanes, because land-based aircraft cannot fly too far from the coastline, and the layout is also limited by the distribution of airfields, so as long as the intelligence is accurate, their threats can basically be avoided. And the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier is the liliang that can really destroy these two heavy cruisers, and they don't even have to be blown up and sunk, they only need to cause a certain degree of trauma and affect the speed of these two heavy cruisers, so that the big fleet can catch up, then it is already very fatal. In addition, the aircraft carrier itself is extremely fast, the fastest of which can even reach 36 knots, and is the only capital ship class other than the heavy cruiser itself that can catch up with the heavy cruiser (the capital ship class includes battleships, battle cruisers, aircraft carriers, and heavy cruisers. Although the devil claimed that the four aircraft carriers had been scrapped and needed to be dismantled because they were too badly damaged, Hu Weidong did not believe it, not to mention that the devil must have been building new aircraft carriers all along, so the air defense of the broken fleet naturally attracted his great attention.

In air defense operations, the air defense firepower in a certain area has been doubled, and the improvement of its air defense capability is far more than a doubling of its air defense capability, which is also an important reason why Hu Weidong insists on letting the two heavy cruisers fight side by side; if it is only one, even with the help of air defense artifacts such as proximity fuses, artillery sights, gyroscopes, new small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and "phalanx" close-in fire guns, it will be very difficult to encounter an aircraft carrier, and if it is two, it is enough to form a denser barrage, and what is the effect of its air defense? The victories of Qingdao's air defense operations in the past are the most haode explanation

Everything was well thought out, but after the order to go to sea was issued, there was a lot of criticism in the troops, and the officers and men of the navy of the original Kuomintang were in good condition, they at least knew the meaning of breaking diplomatic relations, so they had already been mentally prepared, and those old party members who were transferred from the Red Party's army (the highest of these people is also a regimental cadre, after all, those who can be promoted to a higher position are rarely so naïve. Many of them believe that the war is an inhumane method of warfare aimed at attacking civilians, and how can the Red Party, whose purpose is to liberate all mankind, do such a thing? Even if everyone in the world does this, they can't just follow suit, but just like strategic bombing, if you can't attack civilians in a war, then it's still a fart?

Due to the urgency of time, Hu Weidong and the leadership of the navy could not have the patience to explain slowly, and could only use bloody examples such as the Nanjing Massacre to arouse the national hatred of the officers and soldiers. For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
