ACT233: The Future of the Navy

The Jilin of the Northern Fleet is not only the deputy captain of the Tiannu, but also the chief of staff in the fleet command system, which is already the highest military position that the Tiannu can assume in the "people-oriented" Datang fleet. There are even rumors in the fleet that Commander-in-Chief Zheng Tianhe once admitted in private that he is inferior to Jilin in terms of command ability, and if the other party is not a heavenly girl, he will definitely be more suitable than him to be the commander-in-chief of the Northern Fleet.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the ship girls to call Jilin the chief boss and the big demon king!

Coldly and unexpectedly met the other party, Zhao Jian's nervousness was not inferior to Da Lian, and at this time he noticed that there were two golden stars on Jilin's epaulettes. Zhao Jian felt that if he remembered correctly, not long ago, Jilin's military rank should be the same as Heilongjiang's major general, which means that the other party had just been promoted! So in order to relieve the siege for Dalian, Zhao Jianmeng stood up and saluted the other party with a military salute.

"Congratulations on your ascension, Lieutenant General!"

"Oh he~ Did you notice?"

"Two Venus stars are too dazzling."

The former deputy commander-in-chief of the Northern Fleet, Qian Qian, has just been transferred to the Far East Fleet as commander-in-chief to be responsible for the reorganization of the fleet, and the vacant position in the Northern Fleet is currently temporarily replaced by Jilin. Although Ji Lin is not too loyal to the promotion, this is an affirmation of her ability after all, so she is still very happy.

Looking at Zhao Jian with a smile, Jilin gently closed the folding fan in his hand, revealing his complete gorgeous appearance, and then tapped his chin with the folding fan and asked.

"This classmate looks a little familiar, are you the one who helped the aircraft carrier invent the carrier-based aircraft crystal?"

"Uh...... Yes, Lieutenant General. ”

Although Zhao Jian has dealt with the "elder sisters" of the Northern Fleet since he was a child, Jilin is one of the very few celestial daughters he has never had the opportunity to contact. After all, the other party does not have real power like other celestial girls, and Jilin has a lot of things to take care of on weekdays, and there is not so much leisure to go shopping.

"I felt like I had seen you somewhere, it turned out to be on the file. You know? Because of that invention of yours, the boss has already decided. To transform all the four Shijiazhuang-class combat cruisers under construction into aircraft carriers, even the size of naval aviation has directly increased by more than five times. You can be said to be a key figure in the future direction of the Imperial Navy! ”

"Don't dare to be ashamed, dare not be ashamed!"

Because of the stunning appearance of aircraft carriers in the Tang-Japanese War and the poor performance of the old battle cruisers in the decisive battle, the top of the navy of the Tang Dynasty decided to adjust the construction plan of the new warships after the war. The four Shijiazhuang-class battle cruisers that had just completed the installation of the power system simply did the "capping" treatment, and placed the god core in advance, preparing to transfer to Jupiter. Subsequent aircraft carrier renovations will be carried out at Jupiter's new shipyard, while naval aviation has been expanded.

Before the expansion, the six major fleets of the Navy had a total of only 800 aircraft, of which 280 belonged to carrier-based aircraft units, and the rest belonged to the garrisons of various ports. After the expansion, the scale of carrier-based aircraft will be increased to 1,500 aircraft. In the future, each of the five fleets, in addition to the SAR fleet, will be equipped with a mobile force composed of two large and two large aircraft carriers.

Therefore, in the plan, the future Datang Navy will have a total of 20 aircraft carriers! There are already 4 ships in service, 4 ships under construction, and the construction of another 12 ships has also been put on the agenda and will be completed in two batches.

Interestingly, many foreign navies do not see Datang's vigorous development of aircraft carriers as a threat, but rather as a symbol of "recession".

Although the foreign military was curious about how the Tang Army allowed the fighters to fly into space, they still did not think that the aircraft carrier could pose a serious threat to the thick-skinned battleships. In addition, after the war, both Datang and Japan deliberately concealed the actual achievements of aircraft carriers. Therefore, except for the US military, which sent submarines to spy at that time, other naval powers still have a "cautious attitude" about whether to develop aircraft carriers.

Although Jilin is a battleship, from the commander's point of view, she is also quite optimistic about the aircraft carrier that has solved the problem of carrier-based aircraft. The other party even joked. If in the future the military department is interested in trying to develop an "aviation warship", it can try it first with her hull.

After a brief chat with Zhao Jian, Jilin, who was always smiling, left first with busy official business, and the other party patted Zhao Jian's shoulder before leaving. Said with a little deep meaning.

"Classmate Zhao, you have to come on, remember to come to me if you have difficulties."

Looking at the other party's swaying back, Zhao Jian felt that the other party had something to say. On the side, Da Lian saw that he was still staring at Jilin's buttocks in a daze, and said a little sourly.

"Alright, don't look at it! Everyone is gone. Tut! Human males are indeed so virtuous as soon as they grow up! ”

"Hey, I'm just a little stunned, don't slander me!"

"Pretend, you're just! Alas~! I don't know if those words just now will make the Great Demon King hold a grudge and transfer me to the Far East Fleet. ”

"Transfer to other fleets? What do you mean? ”

It turned out that after Jilin's promotion, the naval headquarters assigned her a new task, that is, to transfer one-third of the warships of the Northern Fleet to the Far East as a supplementary force for the other side's reconstruction. Which warships to choose, Jilin has the final say, so during this period, the eldest ladies of the Northern Fleet have all hollowed out their minds to please the Great Demon King, because no one wants to be transferred.

In this way, Zhao Jian's first day back to school was spent in the military port area. Many middle-level officers who have served for more than 10 years have greatly increased their favorability because of his "son inheriting his father's business" after knowing that he is Zhao Teng's son and is now studying at the Naval Academy. Zhao Jian has recognized a lot of "uncles and uncles" in two places, and almost took over his father's connections back then.

"I can't imagine that Dad, he had so many friends in the Navy back then."

"It's all from fights, godfather he was 'friends with boxing' back then, and he fought with him, and they all became good brothers afterwards."

"It turns out that 'fisting' is popular in the navy, and it feels so heavy-mouthed......"

After the sky darkened, Zhao Jian returned to the aircraft carrier dormitory, and almost all the classmates and seniors had returned, at this time Zhao Jian heard the sound of the plane landing on the deck, and after a while, there was a commotion in the cabin, Zhao Jian was curious, and stopped an oncoming classmate to ask him what happened, and the other party said excitedly.

"It's Senior Li Ti who has returned to school, and with him is Meng Zong's majesty! I need to hurry up and inform the brothers of the 'Queen's Club'!" ”

“……”

With an embarrassed face, he watched the classmate who shouted "I'm so excited" disappear around the corner of the corridor, Zhao Jian couldn't understand what the most powerful brother and sister in the whole Tang Dynasty suddenly came to the Naval Academy to make a surprise visit!?
