Chapter 689 - The United Peacekeeping Force of the Revolutionary Committee of the People's Republic of China (4)

"The Xianghe is really uncomfortable, the air conditioning effect is really bad enough, there is no difference between there and not, I think it is not as good as the air conditioning on our destroyer......"

"Yes, forget if the air conditioning is not good, they don't even have a bedroom here, and they can't even turn around, it's really blind to this nearly 50,000-ton body!"

"The food is not good, really. Originally, they were going to let our Han Dynasty send food by helicopter, but the boss felt that this would have a bad impact and refused to send it. Hey, the Japanese food is so unpalatable, the rice is very soft, it's a little drier than porridge, I really don't know how they ......"

"The command system is also very poor, and it can't be compared with our Han Dynasty at all, let alone the latest Shanghai class. ”

A group of young officers of the Chinese Navy smoked in a smoking spot outside the bridge, complaining in a whisper, spitting on the Xianghe's habitability, food, and everything else they could. These people were the staff officers of the formation headquarters who followed Xi Muyun to the Xianghe.

The Xianghe on this plane is not a small ship with a standard row of 25,000 tons in the original time and space, but a proper large aircraft carrier, of course, it can only be regarded as medium-sized according to the current Chinese standards. At the time of its construction, it was a 40,000-ton aircraft carrier (at that time, it claimed to be 35,000 tons, playing with scales), and its performance was not only better than the product of the same name in the original time and space, but the number reached four. And there was also a margin for modification, and after the end of the treaty, they immediately followed the example of China and refitted the four Xianghe-class, equipped with armored flight decks and steam catapults, so that their standard displacement rose to 48,000 tons, and the full load displacement rose to 63,000 tons, which was about the same size as the modernized and modified Midway class of the original time and space.

No matter how you look at it, the Xianghe is also a very bunker aircraft carrier in the world, but in the eyes of these Chinese officers, this ship is very unqualified.

There is no way to do this, and who makes the Chinese-made aircraft carrier the best in the world? The aircraft carrier designed by China is reasonably equipped, well-equipped and advanced, has a large deck area and cabin space, and the elevator is also located on the side to save space and speed up the dispatch of aircraft to take off and land. Moreover, with a very exaggerated folding and packing capacity, most aircraft can be folded from the wing roots, and in the case of the aircraft carrier and the aircraft are of the same class, the number of carrier aircraft is much larger.

Another characteristic of China's aircraft carriers is that they are particularly inhabitable, and the living quarters of officers and men are very spacious and luxurious. However, Japanese warships are different, their design has always only focused on functionality and not on life, and the living space of officers and men is very small and cramped, and the ventilation is not good, especially the soldiers' residences, and living is not much better than squatting in prison. Although the officer's residence is better, it is also too good to be limited.

For example, in the history of the original time and space, the "Yamato Hotel" and "Musashi Hotel" that they were proud of were boasted of being more than five-star hotels, but that was only relative to other sling ships. If you look at it in the navies of the great powers, it is nothing at all, and in the European and American navies, the conditions for grabbing a battleship at random are no worse than those of Yamato Musashi. Of course, the Yamato Musashi of the original plane is different, it has been changed by Chinese magic, and the habitability is much better than the original.

However, the Japanese had a strange idea, believing that this kind of difficult environment could hone the will of the soldiers, and they demanded that the soldiers should use their "root nature" to overcome difficulties, so that they could do how to do it. And Wen Deji has always scoffed at the theory of this "spiritual atomic bomb".

Therefore, under the intervention of Wen Desi, Chinese warships have always paid great attention to ergonomics, excellent habitability, reasonable cabin location configuration and space design, and are very comfortable to live in. Of course, this is not to allow the officers and men to spend their holidays on the warship, but to reduce fatigue, reduce physical exertion, and help to improve morale and conduct long-term battles.

The Chinese aircraft carrier has various functional facilities such as baths, saunas, libraries, gymnasiums, recreation rooms, cinemas, computer study rooms (Internet cafes?), and even the desalination system, food storage and freezer are much larger than those of the Japanese aircraft carriers. As for the food, it lives up to the tradition of the big foodie empire, there are ingredients from all over the world, and the chefs have been professionally trained, and they are all professional chefs outside. Moreover, the Chinese army pays more attention to equality, although there are differences in the living quarters of officers and soldiers, but there are all the things that should be there, such as air conditioning or something, and the food is also about the same, only the difference in quantity, but not the difference in quality. If the difference in the habitation of the officer groups on the aircraft carriers of the two countries is twice as much, then the difference in the habituality of the soldier groups is at least five, eight, or even more.

Although Chinese warships spend a lot of displacement in this area in order to ensure habitability, Wen Desi believes that it is worth it. And the bigwigs of the Japanese Navy, although they disagree with it on the surface, also claim that the Chinese Navy ships are wasting tonnage and raising soldiers to be young masters. But when they used it themselves, they didn't talk at all.

That's right, the Japanese Navy also has Chinese-made aircraft carriers, and their "Four Dragons" are Chinese goods, to be precise, China's "Type 107" export version of the treaty-type aircraft carrier, which is called the "Guangming class" in China. This is an armored enhanced version of the Han Dynasty. The design was re-optimized on the basis of the Han Dynasty class, an armored flight deck and a steam catapult were added, and the standard displacement rose to 39,000 tons (self-proclaimed 35,000 tons).

This kind of "Guangming-class" aircraft carrier is also regarded as the standard aircraft carrier of the People's Revolutionary Union, and the cost performance is very high, and several economically strong younger brothers, such as Japan, Arabia, Turkey, Persia, Siam, Afghanistan, and Chile, are all equipped with them, among which Japan, which has a relatively strong shipbuilding capacity, has also obtained a production license.

After World War I, the Japanese Navy began to attach importance to aircraft carriers because of its own practice. However, on the one hand, they did not agree with each other, coupled with their lack of experience in designing aircraft carriers, they engaged in a bunch of brainstorming plans, and all parties quarreled over their opinions, and no one could convince anyone. Coupled with the later naval holidays, the demand for new ships was not so great, so it was tossed until before the revolution, and the design of the new aircraft carrier had not even been decided.

After the socialist revolution, there were people in the new government who understood that Japan's own aircraft carrier was too second, and what do you think about this three-deck plan? At that time, they chose the standard aircraft carrier "Type 107 Guangming class". Japan calls this class of aircraft carriers the "Ichthyosaurus class", and ordered four during the naval holiday in the late 20s, which is the "four dragons" among the current Japanese aircraft carriers. The first two Yunlong and Ichthyosaurus were built in a Chinese shipyard, and the last two Canglong and Feilong were manufactured in their own shipyard after Japan bought the drawings and production licenses, and China sent people to guide them.

This is also the first truly modern large aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy, this class of aircraft carriers has a significant impact on the subsequent aircraft carriers of Japan, from the drawings and manufacturing process of the "Ichthyosaurus", they learned a lot of experience and knowledge about aircraft carriers, such as the angled deck, take-off and landing auxiliary light system, steam catapult, armored flight deck, and the arrangement and division of cabins. The shadows of these things can be seen on the Xianghe-level and Dafeng-level designed behind them.

Before the Yamato-class, also of Chinese design, entered service, these four "Ichthyosaur-class" aircraft carriers were recognized by the Japanese Navy as the most comfortable and luxurious warships for life.

So much so that there was a popular saying in the Japanese Navy after that: "I would rather be a soldier in the Chinese air carrier than an officer in the national air carrier." "Even the commanders of the Japanese task force are accustomed to changing the command ship to a Chinese-built aircraft carrier, of course, on the grounds that the Chinese-built aircraft carrier has more advanced electronic systems, and the command cabin and battle room are much larger, making it more convenient to command the fleet. But everyone knows that everything that is "easy to command" is a lie, and the habitability of the ship is the main reason. Anyway, the one who needs to hone his "roots" is the big soldier, not the officer.

Although the Xianghe class is a follow-up model of the "Ichthyosaurus class", after all, it was designed by the Japanese themselves, so it is obvious that the Japanese style, with their small family habits of buttoning the rope, is reluctant to invest too much cost in livability. Therefore, this aircraft carrier, which has a standard row of nearly 50,000 tons, is far inferior to the 40,000-ton Han Dynasty class in terms of habitability. Well, this is the tonnage after modernization, which was 33,200 tons before, and after the modernization at the end of the 30s, the standard row rose to 41,500 tons, and the full row rose to 52,000 tons.

Not only the Xianghe level, but even the larger Dafeng level in the back is similar. Anyway, in a word, only the warships designed by Japan themselves are very touching.

"I don't understand, why this time the flagship is set on the Xianghe, just our Han Dynasty is not good? Even the Bangkok in Siam and the Darius in Persia are more comfortable than this...... An officer said angrily: "There is not even hot water here for 24 hours, and you have to queue up for a shower!" Siam's Bangkok and Persian Darius are both "107 Guangming class", and the habitability is proper.

"This is the rule of the People's Revolutionary Federation, who makes their Xianghe bigger......" The colleague next to him said depressedly.

The reason why the flagship of the aircraft carrier formation of the People's Revolutionary Union is set up as the Xianghe is because, according to the rules of the People's Revolutionary Federation, when forming a multinational fleet, the largest tonnage of the same ship is the flagship. Unless the ship is truly unable to take on the flagship job, it will be replaced by a lighter ship. Although the Xianghe is not as good as its Chinese counterpart, it still has the conditions to be a flagship, and it is not easy for the Chinese side to say "your ship is uncomfortable, use ours".

"Hey, what's going on on deck?" a second lieutenant suddenly called out to the flight deck.

"It seems to be arguing...... a mustachioed captain next to him suddenly brightened up: "Hey, it's still a girl!, aren't the Japanese not allowing girls to get on the ship?"

"Why are you arguing? Let's go and see. ”

"No, it's still fighting...... a rookie hesitated.

"We're not on duty now, and besides, we're going to fight in the past. ”
