332. Reassure and encourage

Sending Yamato's people into the cabin, Akagi took Daho and came to the small conference room again.

Discuss some future plans and directions with Mufeng, Liaoning, Nanchang, and Shenzhen.

Dafeng, who had never spoken much, was the first to ask:

"Mu Feng, are you really going to leave tonight?"

Mu Feng smiled directly and nodded:

"Yes, what, aren't you willing to give up on me?"

Dafeng said very frankly:

"I don't want you to eat......"

Mu Feng rolled his eyes:

"Let's get down to business, Akagi Patriarch, while integrating the internal forces of the IJN, we will continue to prepare the manpower to be sent to the Western Islands, you just need to choose it, and how to send it to us.

"I want you a port, not to take advantage of you, that place is of no use to me, but to gather and pick up the members you have sent to the Western Islands.

"Then, now that we have established a formal relationship, we will no longer recruit directly, but accept naturalization applications from ordinary members through official channels."

Chicheng looked at the sincerity of what Mu Feng said, and agreed directly without hesitation:

"Okay, I understand, and then in fact, the question we are most concerned about is, can we accept your complete transformation like Zeppelin and Bismarck, and buy your planes and good missile weapons?"

Mu Feng said a little helplessly:

"Your radio station should have been adjusted to get in touch with Zeppelin, right?

"You should have asked her, for the comprehensive transformation of the aircraft carrier, the amount of work is very large, and the resource consumption is naturally very high.

"The current situation of your headquarters can't afford this kind of attrition......

"Also, we don't have a lot of time together, only two days so far, so we don't know each other very well, and we will be separated by thousands of miles for most of the future.

"When your men arrive in the Western Islands, build a basic base, and have the initial resource output, I will renovate the person in charge there."

Akagi was a little regretful when he heard it, but what Mu Feng said was indeed the truth, and in the end he could only nod.

Mu Feng looked at Akagi's reaction and thought a little in his heart.

From the very beginning, the aircraft carrier system has resolutely stood on its side, and in Yamato's actions, it has also decisively drawn a line with Yamato.

Although it is mainly due to the suppression of the strength of their own fleet, their resolute and decisive stance is also very worthy of recognition.

I will also need them to maintain order in the IJN in the future, and I need to suppress the IJN's warship power.

Therefore, I should also give them a little reward in advance as a reassurance and encouragement.

The point is, these rewards are not a threat to themselves.

So Mu Feng spoke again:

"However, I can first give one or two of your patriarchs, as well as one or two of her personal frigates, an overall transformation in the form of a loan, so that you can familiarize yourself with the new combat methods in advance.

"When you collect rich resources in the future, you will repay the current renovation costs, and at the same time carry out a large-scale refitting of other ship girls.

"But I don't have much time to stay here, I don't have time for you to go back and slowly think about who to change, it's just the two of you on the scene, so I can only change it for the two of you."

"Thank you so much!"

Akagi suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, and then glanced at Dafeng, who was a little absent-minded, and rubbed Dafeng under his feet, and Dafeng shouted as if he had just woken up from a dream:

"Huh...... Mufeng, you really ...... Can you give me a makeover directly? ”

Mu Feng smiled and said:

"You are so resolute and decisive on my side this time, of course I have to give you some gifts!"

When Akagi heard this, he immediately pulled up Dafeng, who was a little confused, and the two bowed to Mu Feng together:

"Thank you, Commander Mufeng!"

Mu Feng nodded slightly:

"Time is urgent, you call in the frigates that need to be modified, and then let's start as soon as possible."

"Okay."

Akagi hurriedly agreed, and then discussed with Dafeng and Mu Feng, and selected the four light cruisers that participated in the transformation.

The hull of the ship of the same class is basically the same, which is convenient for transformation and cooperation.

After calling the four sisters from the top level, the six of them went to the next lounge together.

Mu Feng brought a group of his own ship girls over.

Looking at the few ship ladies who stood in a circle and bowed to him together, Mu Feng was too lazy to correct their etiquette, and asked directly:

"Who to start with?"

Akagi immediately stretched out his finger and pointed at Dafeng and smiled and said:

"Let's start with Dafeng, I always feel that if the target is Dafeng, the reward given by Commander Mufeng may be a little more......"

Dafeng immediately stuck out his tongue:

"How is it possible, that's ...... you think too much"

This was originally a matter of indifference, Mu Feng just smiled and shook his head when he heard it, and asked Dafeng to lie down on the bed.

He sat on the chair that Akagi had moved, shook Dafeng's hand, and entered the system to begin a comprehensive transformation of Dafeng's hull.

Compared with the original brilliance and Belfast, Mu Feng's transformation of the current Japanese ship is slightly reserved.

The main thing is that they haven't been together for a long time, and the entire IJN command can't be said to be in full control.

Therefore, it is necessary to keep some basic guards, and it is more to appease them for their transformation.

Dafeng's power system is the same as that of Xianghe, with 160,000 horsepower and 33 knots, but the stability is not high.

Since it was going to be completely modernized, Mu Feng replaced it for her together, and still used the 200,000-horsepower boiler and turbine system used before the Liaoning.

And then there's the hangar.

Historically, USN aircraft carriers are basically high-rise single hangars, while IJN is the complete opposite, and the vast majority of aircraft carriers are low-level double hangars.

High-rise single hangar, daily aircraft scheduling, maintenance, repair are more convenient, spare aircraft can be hung on the ceiling, can use the side lift.

The advantage of the low-level double hangar is that the area is large and the carrying capacity is larger, but the scheduling is troublesome, and the lower hangar is basically close to the sea level, so the side lift cannot be used.

Dafeng is also a low-rise double hangar, with a total area of 4,957 square meters on two floors.

That's almost 1,000 square meters more than the Essex class's 3,948 square meters and more than double the Lexington class's 2,232 square meters.

In other words, Dafeng's first-floor hangar is larger than that of the Lexington level.

However, the maximum design of Dafeng is 78 aircraft, and the actual aircraft capacity of the only actual combat is only 54.

This very limited aircraft carrier has little to do with armored aircraft carriers.

Armored aircraft carriers just have more flight deck armor than ordinary aircraft carriers, and the protection in other places is not much different, and these armors do not affect much of the aircraft carrying capacity.

There are two real reasons for this.

One is that the IJN's aircraft wing folding ability is very poor, and the Zero can only fold a wingtip, which is almost a normal size to put in, and unlike the USN, which will use deck mooring.

Second, in the later stages of the war, there were not enough IJN aircraft, and there were not enough pilots, most of the time the crews were dissatisfied, and a lot of internal space was wasted.
