664 New Battleships (IV)
Just two improvements made Ye Fei feel like his eyes were bright, and he couldn't wait to ask, "What other new techniques are there?" ”
High-tech warfare does not mean combat effectiveness, but in recent years, the fleet has been fighting continuously, and it has long been a division with rich combat experience, and the combat experience accumulated by the military will eventually be fed back into the new weapon system.
"That's a lot." Xu Shijie is like a treasure, "The God of War class has canceled the independent medical rescue ship and opened an independent medical area in the ship; reducing the number of missiles, increasing the total number of light-speed torpedoes and planetary burst shells; The main laser cannon of the main body of the battleship has been increased from two to four, and six more deployable laser cannon pots have been installed; Because of the improvement of technology, the volume of power shock ships and assault ships has been reduced, and the space saved is used to install new weapons; The total number of men on board was cut in half, from more than 1,000 to less than 500; The cancellation of the Aerospace Carrier, I don't say that you also know that the aviation has been reduced from a division to a regiment, and in addition to being equipped with 24 improved J-447s, there are also dozens of remotely controlled unmanned fighters modified with J-447s......"
"How is it that there is only one regiment left in aviation? There are only so many people left, so it is better to cancel it directly. Ye Fei said bluntly.
"Oh? What are your thoughts? Wu Han asked quietly.
"What else can you think, I have been fighting with the battleship for such a long time, and the aviation is basically useless for the rest of the time, except for the usefulness of dealing with the Outer Bone Man, it is better to cancel it." Ye Fei said unceremoniously.
When the Celestial Army was first formed, its tactics basically followed the experience of the Navy. Therefore, the Space Forces made extensive use of aviation and built bulky space carriers.
However, the warships of the Navy and the warships of the Space Army are two completely different concepts, the former floats on the water, in order to ensure mobility and buoyancy, the armor is bound to not be too thick, and the damage ability of the weapon is getting stronger and stronger, and the speed of progress far exceeds the development level of the armor, so the Navy's warships are defensive ships, but mobility is very important.
In this case, it is a very sensible and reasonable choice to use more maneuverable fighters against enemy ships.
This is not the case with the warships of the Celestial Army. There is neither drag nor gravity in the universe. As long as the power can keep up, the armor of the battleship can be made very thick, and the defense power is not on the same level as the ships of the navy at all, and the fighters can not use nuclear weapons. It is difficult to crack the thick eggshells of the battleship.
What's more. Naval aviation may approach the enemy in battle by flying at ultra-low altitudes to avoid enemy radars. Or simply strike from a distance with stand-off weapons. But the range of the main guns of the Celestial Army's warships is often calculated in light seconds, what kind of fighter can be faster than light?
Without the speed advantage, the fighter plane will not be able to deliver nuclear bombs to the enemy's warships. It is not used at all in battle, and it must also occupy space to place fighters and related personnel, which is really a big waste.
Judging from Ye Fei's experience, the fighter has become a chicken rib, unless it is against cosmic creatures, whether it is against the Saucer Clan or the Atlanteans, it can play a very limited role.
It is more appropriate to use a battleship to deal with it.
After Ye Fei finished expounding his opinion, Wu Han nodded expressionlessly: "Xiao Ye, in fact, this issue has been discussed for a long time, most people's views are similar to yours, and they all think that the fighter plane is outdated, I believe you have also found that we have been reducing the aviation force." However, at the same time, we also believe that under certain special circumstances, there is still some place for the air force, and the future development trend of the army is not to be said with words, but by you captains on the battlefield. The reason why the Ares brought a regiment on board is because we believe that the time has not yet come for the aviation to withdraw from the military arena, and you captains should not always keep an eye on the fighters, but also tap and tap the potential of the aviation when the time is right, and it is not too late to eliminate the aviation when it is really not needed. ”
"The minister is right, no matter how advanced the weapon is, it depends on how the person uses it, as far as attacking the planet is concerned, it is easy for you to destroy a planet with a high-flying warship, and provide fire support for the ground forces to strike accurately? The naval guns are so powerful, can they guarantee that they will not hurt their own people? Xu Shijie gave a very inappropriate example, "Think about it when you have time." ”
Ye Feixin said that now the attacks on the Holy Land are supported by assault ships, so why do you need Raushzi's fighters?
The abolition of the three armed forces of the army and navy is very revealing.
However, the thoughts in his heart were not on his face, and he simply agreed.
In fact, Wu Han and Xu Shijie both knew that Ye Fei was right, but the reduction of the air force was not something that could be done just as it was said, the military had already opened several training courses and trained hundreds of pilots to become warship pilots, and this work would continue to be done in the future, and if the time came for the air force to withdraw, the military would never hesitate.
Xu Shijie suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, there is another improvement that should be told to you first, although there are still four Ares-class assault ships, the whole ship can only carry one group of commandos." ”
"Wouldn't it? So little? Ye Feiden was stunned, "What are you doing with only twenty or so people?" ”
"That's exactly what I'm going to say." Xu Shijie said, "According to the prediction of the General Staff, in the coming period, our main enemy is likely to be the Atlanteans. ”
Ye Feixin said that this is not nonsense? Anyone who knows the news, who can't think of it? Predict a fart with the General Staff.
Xu Shijie didn't know what Ye Fei was thinking, and said to himself: "In the future, once the war with the Atlanteans officially starts, the commandos are very likely to parachute into the other party's planet, what do you think?" ”
"One hundred percent." Ye Fei replied without thinking, "But what does this have to do with reducing the number of commandos?" Insufficient troops? ”
Now it is no longer than at the beginning, with artificial gravity, you can live on a battleship like on the ground, and not adapting to weightlessness is no longer an important obstacle to joining the commando.
Even if you are a volunteer, you can find a hundred and eighty thousand, right?
Xu Shijie shook his head and said, "The reason is not the source of soldiers, but the armor." ”
"Uh...... The armor has been improved again? Ye Fei suddenly realized the crux of the problem.
Xu Shijie nodded: "That's right, and this time it's a big improvement." ”
"Just say it directly, I'm so anxious that I'm about to grow hair." Ye Fei looked like he was scratching his heart. (To be continued......)
