Chapter III Our Pacific Fleet

The development route of the military armed forces of other factions in China is completely different, and the student army has taken a high-end route since it gained a foothold in Renqiu. This kind of high-end is not only embodied in the construction and management system of the armed forces, but also in the military industrial system, which has a self-reliance rate of more than 90 percent. It can be said that the strength of the student army is accompanied by countless miracles along the way. These miracles are both military, but more often than not, military and technological.

Growing up with countless miracles, it is said that the senior officers of the Cadet Army have long been surprised and have developed a strong psychological endurance. However, at this time, when some of them first heard the news about the ocean-going fleet, they were still thundered.

Today, from a company commander or even a small soldier to the commander of an army and even a commander of an independent branch of the armed forces, their vision has long been different. The more this happened, the more they realized how difficult it would be to build an ocean-going fleet of this size. It's no wonder that they, who have long developed a temperament of not being shocked, are so shocked at this time.

The first reaction of the company commander of the former Broadsword Regiment was to reach out and pinch his thigh, and after feeling the real pain, he confirmed that he was not daydreaming, and asked: "Commander-in-chief, when did it happen?" This, this is incredible! ”

Ouyang Yun handed the telegram to Pan Meiren, a little proud, and replied with a chuckle: "It started three years ago. Don't be too surprised, how can we be such a big country and have such a vast sea area without an ocean-going navy? ”

"Aircraft carriers, there are two at once, tsk!" The single male sighed, the stars jumping in his eyes.

"It's not promising!" Ouyang Yun scolded with a smile, then restrained his expression and said, "Let's get down to business." Xiao Tie, after the return of the Pacific Fleetβ€”"

Ouyang Yun was interrupted by Chen Ce's whispering before he finished speaking, and when this old navy man heard the name "Pacific Fleet", his heart jumped and he couldn't help but say: "Pacific Fleet!?" Good name! Then, finding that everyone was looking at him, his old face flushed slightly, and he looked at Ouyang Yun with an apologetic gaze: "Commander-in-chief, you continue." ”

In order to give this infant fleet a meaningful name, Ouyang Yun scratched his scalp a lot - in that era, how many generations of dreams were realized in his hands in this time and space - every time he thought of this, he couldn't contain his excitement, so he always thought of giving a majestic name to be worthy of the expectations of generations of people in that era.

When chatting with Ji Xingwen, Ji Xingwen once mentioned the Americans' Pacific Fleet, and he decided to use the name of the Pacific Ocean as well, believing that only this name could reflect China's determination to enter the ocean.

Being so confused by Chen Ce, everyone's attention was attracted by the "Pacific Fleet".

Ji Xingwen once witnessed the birth of this name, and he said with great interest: "When the commander-in-chief discussed this matter with me, we began to want to use the South China Sea Fleet as the crown, but considering that if we want to protect Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands, our fleet will definitely have to fight in the Pacific Ocean, and the South China Sea Fleet is too stingy." So, what is the name that makes it look atmospheric? Nothing but the Pacific Ocean is sufficient to demonstrate our determination to defend our maritime frontiers. ”

After a heated discussion on the name "Pacific Fleet", Ouyang Yun picked up the topic and said lightly: "The Pacific Fleet uses three aircraft carriers as the backbone, and whether the Navy is strong or not will directly determine the actual combat capability of this fleet. Xiao Tie, you have to be mentally prepared, I may transfer a large number of veteran pilots from your Air Force to the Pacific Fleet's naval aviation team. ”

When the "Yandi" was still undergoing renovation in the shipyard in the United States, the related training of soldiers had already begun. Gu Lianyun and Chen Shichang are in charge of part of it in the United States, and there are also relevant training in Dongshan and Haikou. Originally, if it was only two aircraft carrier fleets, although the two parts of the trainees together could not guarantee full strength, the gap was not large. However, because of the addition of the French Far East Fleet, and the unexpected harvest of four destroyers of the British Z Fleet and the "Revenge-class" aircraft carrier of Krach, the problem of personnel shortage suddenly became prominent.

The training of navigators and HNA pilots is not something that can be completed overnight, among them, the training of the latter is the most difficult - the recruitment of pilots is different from other branches of the military, and the strict requirements for physical fitness alone can brush off more than 90 percent of the conscripts, because of this reason, although Ouyang Yun has paid special attention to the construction of the pilot reserve since the establishment of the air force, but so far, with the addition of the women's aviation brigade, the pilot reserve savings in Tie Lin's pilot have only maintained the scale of an aviation division.

In this regard, Tie Linfei had something to say, so he followed Ouyang Yun's words and said, "If it is only the size of two aviation divisions, there should be no problem." It's just that I don't know what the rated capacity of the 'revenge-class' aircraft carrier is? ”

Ouyang Yun: "It's not sure yet, my idea is to be able to satisfy at least one Hainan Navigator." Chen Mingsheng and the others have already arrived in Karachi, and if they fail to meet this requirement, they will carry out relevant transformations. ”

At present, one aviation division has three duty brigades and one reserve brigade under the jurisdiction of one aviation division, and because of the performance characteristics of the main fighters, the Baitian Dolphin and the Flying Fortress, a brigade must be equipped with at least 24 pilots, and an aviation division must be equipped with at least 96 pilots.

Tie Linfei nodded: "Then there is no problem." But? ——”

"But what?"

"Commander-in-chief, do you know that Chongqing intends to buy fighters from us?"

After conquering Wuhan and Changsha and forcing the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the Japanese army began to launch high-frequency air raids on Chongqing at the end of May. Although these two fighters are not enough to compete with the main fighters of the Cadet Army, the Baitian Dolphin, they have a considerable advantage over the Hawker III and I-16 of the Central Army Aviation Unit and the Soviet Volunteer Air Force. The two sides fought fiercely for more than a month, and the Chinese and Soviet aviation units suffered heavy losses.

The Japanese air force had no checks and balances, and air raids became more and more rampant, and correspondingly, Chongqing suffered heavy losses in personnel and property in such high-frequency air raids, and the morale of the people was dealt a heavy blow.

At the time of the Guangzhou Incident last year, the Soviet Union intended to obtain a white-sided dolphin through the Chongqing government to analyze its technology and improve its fighter manufacturing level. When his military representative in Chongqing learned of this, he immediately lobbied and pressured the Soviet government, and the old Chiang, who had decided not to bow to the Cadet Army, agreed to this decision. So General Feng was pushed to the forefront, found Mu Jiandie and made relevant requests.
