Leaving Xishan Palace, he squinted Meimei on the red rabbit car driven by Yu Ziqi, and when the red rabbit car was parked in the compound of the Naval Aviation Headquarters, it was almost noon.

I was late for the first day of work, and I was two or three hours late...... If he is not the number one, Zhuge Weidao will have to criticize, and maybe he will have to deduct wages and bonuses.

But now he is a man in naval aviation! is not only the acting commander, but also the chief of staff and the commanders of various departments, almost all of whom were promoted by Zhuge Weidao.

When Zhuge Weidao got out of the red rabbit car in high spirits, he heard Guo Xiaobao shouting "salute", and then saw two rows of officers wearing navy white uniforms, with two bars and several stars on the brochure, standing outside the main entrance of a five-story Chinese-style building, and saluting him.

Zhuge Weidao also hurriedly stood upright, and returned a salute to this group of Ming naval elites who were not very old and had no small official positions, and at the same time swept them with his own gaze. I found that Yu Yang, Ye Wu, Ma Xuchen, Li Kezhi, Ling Zongjun, Guo Xiaobao, Huang Shuren (the original deputy military attache of the Ming Dynasty in Rakshasa), and Wang Wen, who had just graduated from the Naval Staff College, were all there!

There are also three captains brought by Zhuge Weidao from the Persian Gulf Fleet, one is Lei Teng on the Cao Guogong, one is Wang Lei Yong on the Liangguo Gong, and the other is Yu Tianzhu on the Weiguo Gong. They were all colonels, and because the ship was sunk in the Persian Gulf Fleet and there was no place to arrange it, Zhuge Weidao enthusiastically "tricked" them into the naval aviation. He also promised one person to give them the captain of an aircraft carrier!

But looking at the smiling looks of them now, it is estimated that they have taken a fancy to those four aircraft-carrying battlecruisers!

In addition, there are three younger generations of the Zhuge family, all of whom are young people of the Yang generation, named "Yang Yong", "Yang Chao", and "Yang Yang", all of whom are under the age of 30, but they all have the title of two bars and two stars or two bars and one star, and they have all graduated from the Naval Staff College, and they all have the qualifications to serve as captains and captains.

Zhuge Weidao's gaze swept back and forth, and he had already taken in the faces of these people, and they all looked very energetic!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao coughed and began to speak: "Gentlemen, the next war is very likely to break out within 12 months, and the real main force of our naval aviation, the carrier-based aircraft force, will officially appear on the stage of history in this war, and for a long time in the future, it will become more and more important, until it becomes the central role of the stage!" You guys...... You ready? Is naval aviation ready? ”

"Admiral, we're ready!"

More than a dozen people roared together, and they were really very energetic. After the roar, Colonel Ma Xuchen, chief of staff of the naval aviation, said to Zhuge Weidao with confidence: "Admiral, the Admiral's Mansion of the Naval Aviation has been preparing for three years!" We already have a lot of hole cards, some of which are still highly secret that can't be made public! ”

The high secrecy that he said that could not be made public was, of course, unknown even to Zhuge Weidao, who served as the commander of the Persian Gulf Fleet.

"Okay," Zhuge nodded heavily, "I just wanted to see the hole cards of our naval aviation!" ”

Ma Xuchen stood upright: "Yes, Admiral!" ”

As he spoke, he turned around and led Zhuge Weidao towards the building of the Admiral's Mansion of the Naval Aviation.

The building of the Admiral's Mansion of the Naval Aviation was newly built, and Zhuge Weidao had not completed it when he was the chief of staff of the Aviation Forces, but the main function of the building was set by him - this is not a yamen, but an "information-based" command center!

All airship bases and airship carriers subordinate to the naval aviation can keep in touch with the naval aviation yamen at any time through the navy's special telegraph lines, telephone lines, and long-wave radio stations.

Theoretically, Zhuge Weidao sat inside the yamen and could directly give orders to every base, every airship mothership, and every airship below...... With this command efficiency, Empress Dowager Zheng and Emperor Zhu don't have to go to Guangzhou at all if they want to drive the expedition in person, just come to the information-based Admiral Yamen of Zhuge Weidao! How nice it is to be able to go home for dinner while driving the expedition!

In addition to this information-based command center, there is also a management center for the research and development, production, and maintenance of naval aviation equipment in this Admiralty building.

The finalization of aircraft and various aircraft carriers was done here. Problems found in the production and use of aircraft and aircraft carriers will also be fed back to the Armaments Production and Maintenance Office in the Admiralty of the Air Force as soon as possible. The Naval Aviation Equipment Prototype also has a highly classified equipment model showroom, located on the top floor of the Admiralty's House building.

All projects that are in production, under development, pre-research, and even in the exploration stage are displayed here, and they will be displayed in series and generations, which can be seen at a glance.

As soon as Zhuge Weidao walked into this exhibition hall, he saw at a glance the "new hole card" of the Ming Naval Aviation - a five-cylinder air-cooled star engine!

This engine is not a model, but a real thing, the structure is simple, the volume is not large, at a glance you know that it is made according to a few sketches in the "Aviation Book of Heaven".

"Admiral, this is a Wyvern V star aero engine with five cylinders that can provide up to 150 horsepower." Pointing to the aero engine and talking was Zhuge Yangyong, who was Zhuge Weitian's nephew and an airship pilot in the naval aviation.

"150 horses...... Zhuge Weidao looked at the size of the engine again, nodded and said, "It should be enough now." ”

"Admiral," Zhuge Yangyong said again, "there is also a Chitu Type 3 in-line water-cooled four-cylinder engine here, which is converted from a car engine and has 100 horsepower. ”

Zhuge Weidao looked in the direction of Yang Yong's finger again, and found an in-line aviation engine, he smiled and said: "Two series of aviation engines can support two series of aircraft, right?" ”

"Admiral Wise!" Zhuge Yangyong pointed to the fighter model exhibition area next to him, where there are models of four light biplanes, these four planes are biplanes, look at the shape to know that they belong to two models, one of the models has a relatively small nose, which should be in accordance with the in-line engine, and the other model has a larger nose, and it must be a star engine according to it. In addition, they are divided into single-seater and two-seater versions.

And next to these four light biplanes, there is also a two-wing, twin-engine, two-seater seaplane.

"Do we have seaplane carriers?" Zhuge Weidao looked at the seaplane model and asked.

"Yes," Ma Xuchen, chief of staff of the Navy, took over the question, "we got the hull of a South Island-class passenger liner under construction and modified it, moved the chimney and the buildings on the deck to the right, and then installed a wooden beveled flight deck......"

"Isn't that an aircraft carrier?" Zhuge was taken aback by Dao, "Where is its model?" ”

"There." Ma Xuchen pointed to the ship exhibition area.

Zhuge Weidao looked in the direction of his finger and saw a ...... Aircraft-carrying passenger liners! Well, the flight deck layout of this ship is the same as that of the aircraft-carrying battlecruiser, with only a beveled deck and no direct deck. In addition, in the bow of this ship, which does not have an "aircraft-carrying passenger ship", there is also a platform with a crane installed, which should be used to lift seaplanes.

Seeing this strange-looking aircraft carrier, Zhuge Weidao immediately understood - this is a "training and seaplane aircraft carrier". When Zhuge Weidao was the chief of staff of the HNA Navy, he issued an order to refit the "training aircraft carrier" and the "seaplane aircraft carrier". I don't know which genius shipbuilding engineer merged the two projects into one, and took a South Island class and changed it to the next one. And the accumulation of technology of that aircraft-carrying battlecruiser should also come from this "training and seaplane carrier".

At this time, Ma Xuchen introduced: "Admiral, we now have one such mothership, and within 12 months, there will be two more put into use, and our Ssangyong seaplane can take off directly from the beveled deck of the mothership, and then land on the sea!"

The Ssangyong seaplane has two aviation machine guns, can also carry a 100-kilogram bomb, and can fly 200 kilometers with full ammunition and fuel, and can fully carry out bombing missions! ”

Zhuge Weidao looked at this strange-looking aircraft carrier, nodded lightly and said, "Okay!" Add one aircraft-carrying battlecruiser and we have 4 aircraft carriers...... Nelson, times are about to change! ”
