281. Completely unreasonable
A group of 12 Gale fighters in Akagi had been flying on the sea for less than five minutes when they suddenly saw a gray shadow flashing in the sky ahead.
A group of huge strange planes swooped down from high altitude with great momentum.
The plane had no propellers and was more than 20 meters long, almost twice as long as its own plane.
Akagi is the patriarch of the aircraft carrier family, and he has a lot of combat experience, although he was very shocked by the huge size of this aircraft, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted to prepare for air combat.
Immediately afterward, the 12 huge planes slowed down, crossed an arc in mid-air, turned a corner, and flew side by side with their own planes, and at the same time, a telegram from Liaoning was received on the radio:
"Don't panic, it's my plane."
Akagi received the information and subconsciously put away the cannon that was about to shoot.
At this moment, the two groups of planes are very close, the distance is only a few tens of meters, and Akagi can clearly feel through his own planes how huge those planes are.
The difference in size between the two sides was too great, and Akagi felt that if there was an air battle between the two sides, the other side would not need to attack at all, and the wings would sweep his own plane and it would have to crash.
Imagine that on the battlefield of World War II, a pilot who drove a Zero War or Hellcat flew in the sky and suddenly rushed down a group of J-15s, and then they turned around and flew with them.
"Occasional cake seller!"
"Bakana!"
That's pretty much what Akagi is feeling right now.
"You...... Yours...... This swarm of huge planes is yours! ”
Akagi stared at the plane next to him for a long time, and after confirming the true size of the other party, he felt the corners of his mouth tremble when he spoke:
"And your deck...... How big ...... it has to be?"
"This ......" Liaoning wanted to speak again and again, and finally changed his words, "You come with me." ”
As soon as Akagi's fleet went out, Liaoning's AWACS aircraft had already seen it.
When her plane took off, the Liaoning fighter jets were watching from high altitude.
After the two sides converged, they flew together to the sky above the Mufeng fleet.
The distance between the two sides was now just over 100 kilometers away, and the warships below were still sailing forward, and Akagi's planes soon saw the outline of Mufeng's fleet.
In the entire fleet, the three largest ships were the fastest to catch Akagi's eye.
The largest one that seems to be unarmed should be the 100,000-ton cruise ship that Liaoning said before.
But in front of the cruise ship, there are two flat-topped ships that are similar in size to cruise ships, and the huge flat decks are undoubtedly unique to aircraft carriers.
But this aircraft carrier, for Akagi, is too big.
Liaoning said at the time that the length of the cruise ship was 340 meters, and now that a little comparison, Akagi feels that the length of the two aircraft carriers must be at least 330 meters, and the displacement is not 90,000 but 80,000.
Chicheng had heard Liaoning say before that there was a 100,000-ton cruise ship on Mufeng's side, so before taking off, I originally wanted to find a cruise ship and see what a 100,000-ton cruise ship looked like.
As a result, now that the time has come, the mind is completely focused on the aircraft and the aircraft carrier.
No matter how big the cruise ship is, it is also a cruise ship, and the aircraft carrier is different, it is a real combat effectiveness.
The distance between the two sides continued to get closer, and the fleet in the distance gradually came to the front of the eyes, and it became clearer and clearer.
The planes of the Liaoning, with the planes of Akagi, gradually lowered, and skimmed over the entire fleet.
Akagi's mind was basically on the aircraft carrier, and looking at the decks of the two aircraft carriers up close, Akagi once again felt her enormity.
Roughly calculated, this deck area is more than three times its own, and its displacement should be more than 80,000 tons, and its body size is more than twice that of itself.
With these two warships in front of them, they are obviously still aircraft carriers, and they are also aircraft carriers.
But I instinctively feel in my heart that they and myself are no longer the same existence.
I don't know why, that's what Akagi thinks in his heart.
Akagi's plane followed Liaoning's plane, and circled over the entire fleet, looking at these warships below, Akagi knew that except for the cruise ship, the others were all ship girls.
Looking at the state of these ship girls, Akagi's mind couldn't turn again.
Didn't you drive all the way from the other side of the world?
After a 20,000-mile voyage, shouldn't you be a bit miserable?
Why is it that the deck paint is shiny now, as if it has just come out of the shipyard.
Looking at their spirits, the supply ships they brought with them were useless.
Then, in addition to being shocked, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
This fleet, the whole fleet, is completely out of order.
First of all, not to mention the two "super-giant" aircraft carriers, those two large battleships, with a displacement of 50,000 tons, were supposed to face upward, but only 380 mm guns were used, which was really a waste of tonnage.
And the bridge is so low, how can it be easy to observe?
And then there is, all the warships below are all square sterns, and there is a platform in the stern, and then the paint of the entire fleet is almost white silver-gray, and there is no camouflage at all.
Just thinking it was strange, Akagi suddenly noticed that all the warships below were all at a speed of 35 knots!
Including cruisers, battleships, aircraft carriers, and supply ships, all of them are 35 knots, which is a big increase from the regular 30 knots aircraft carrier formation.
Pushing an 80,000-ton aircraft carrier to 35 knots, this power system is too terrifying!
In addition to the huge size of this aircraft carrier, the wasted tonnage of battleships, the shape of the hull of the entire fleet, the problems with the livery, these strange styles, the ultra-high speed and the exaggerated power system accidents, Akagi also discovered one thing that made him feel the most awkward, something completely incomprehensible for the time being.
These cruisers all had too few weapons.
A 12,000-ton cruiser, like the top class, can be equipped with 155 guns, why do you only have two, how can this be enough?
The huge hull had only two guns, and it looked bare.
Akagi flew around twice with Liaoning's plane, and he couldn't help but ask Liaoning once.
The main reason for being able to ask such a question is that Liaoning came back with Zeppelin's information and password, and Akagi instinctively trusted Liaoning, so he would directly ask this kind of slightly sensitive question.
Liaoning thought about it, and his original purpose was to let Akagi, the top of the IJN, have a clear understanding of the strength of his fleet and take the initiative to avoid some unrealistic ideas.
So on the question of missiles, it's better to show them directly.
However, Akagi and the others had never seen missiles, and it was very troublesome to explain directly, so Liaoning thought about it a little and decided to explain it in a way that was easy to understand.
Liaoning took Chicheng's plane to the sky above Changchun, let Liaoning look at Changchun's hull, and then let Changchun launch a cruise missile through the data link.
