"Japan's losses are so great? It's hard to imagine that pigeon missiles are really so powerful?"

Wen Deji was also thundered by the results of the "Battle of Elizabeth".

"Mr. Wen, we have analyzed it in detail, in fact, this pigeon missile is not terrible. Because they are slow, with a speed of less than 600 km/h, and they are bulky, they can be easily intercepted. If the Japanese army had been prepared, it would not have been possible to suffer such heavy losses. The Japanese are underestimating the enemy. Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Wang Tiehammer said: "In fact, if it were us, it would be impossible for the US plane to get closer to within 100 kilometers." ”

"Also, Keno Kurita is not familiar with aircraft carriers, and he is simply a layman in the operation of aircraft carriers. In the face of a saturation attack, the battleship should be allowed to protect the carrier, not scatter it. Wang Tiehammer unceremoniously pointed to the inferior level of his Japanese counterparts. The U.S. fleet on the opposite side actually suffered greater losses, and in this case, they shouldn't have run at all. ”

Chief of the General Staff Xin Jie said: "Another point, the success of this US raid is also due to some luck. At that time, there was a fleet of Japanese air force planes nearby, and if the navy could communicate well with the air force, those bombers would not have been able to pass at all. In addition, the Japanese Army also discovered this large fleet of aircraft at that time, but they did not alert the Navy. This kind of thing is simply unthinkable in our army......"

Rossi said: "Japan's military services have a long history of contradictions, and this naval defeat directly caused the defeat of the southern front. The contradictions between the army and the navy have intensified again......"

He pointed to the map and said: "Yamashita Fengwen, who was attacking the Cape Province, was afraid of being cut off from the back road and being dumpled by the Yankees, so he had to abandon Port Elizabeth and retreat all the way to the Orange River. The Japanese Army was so angry that it was choking. I heard that at the meeting, Yamashita almost beat Kurita Keno......"

When everyone heard this, they all felt a little funny. Needless to say, the contradictions between the Japanese army and navy were not to be mentioned, and even the new Japan after the revolution had preserved this tradition. Although there is no such exaggeration as before, "if the Army's screws are tightened clockwise, the Navy's screws must be tightened counterclockwise," the relationship between the two is definitely not good. If it's a tailwind, it's fine, but if something goes wrong, then the two sides will definitely quarrel.

"What if the American pigeon missile is faster? For example, if it is raised to the speed of sound...... Zhang Lizheng, who has not spoken just now, said.

"This is impossible...... Meng Shu smiled, he said: "We have done experiments with experts from the Academy of Biological Sciences, and pigeons, an animal, can't adapt to such a fast speed. In the American form, once the carrier exceeds 650 km, the pigeon's eyes cannot be aimed, and if it is faster, the pigeon will faint. Don't look at pigeons as birds, but their brains are not developed enough and their adaptability is far less than that of humans. In fact, if the Americans had not given the pigeons medicine beforehand, the hit rate would have been even lower. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Lizheng was a little incredulous.

"That's the case, Lao Zhang, if you know more about it, you can ask the Academy of Biological Sciences......" Xin Jie said

Well, this problem is also one of the reasons why the United States of the original time and space finally abandoned this plan.

"This kind of thing is crooked, and even if it succeeds, it's just accidental. After looking at the test report in front of him, Wen Deji finally said: "Even the Americans themselves did not expect such a big result......

"However, this time the United States also suffered a lot of losses this time, and after the war, all of them retreated back to rest. But with the national strength of the United States, it will definitely recover faster than Japan......"

The Japanese navy suffered a heavy defeat this time. Six old battleships Fuso, Yamashiro, Ise, Hyuga, Hiei, and Kirishima were sunk, the Flying Eagle-class light aircraft carriers "Four Eagles" (Flying Eagle, Hayabusa, Otaka, and Cloud Eagle) all knelt down, and the four heavy cruisers Furutaka, Kako, Aoba, and Kinugasa also became a deep-sea fleet. In addition, two Tenryu-class and one Balline-class light cruisers, as well as eight destroyers, were sunk.

The "four cranes" in the aircraft carrier were all injured in varying degrees of severity, and the most serious one, the Flying Crane, almost never returned. On the contrary, it was the four dragons and the four phoenixes, relying on the terrifying anti-aircraft fire network, the use of jamming bombs, and the strong character, and they didn't lose a single hair. In addition, three battleships, including Nagato, Amagi, and Akagi, were severely damaged, and the side of the Musashi was also hit by a pigeon missile, but this super battleship was carried by strong armor, and after inspection, it was found that only a few armor plates were misplaced, and basically nothing happened.

Of course, the United States also suffered huge losses, sinking seven battleships Washington, Colorado, California, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico, and Indiana, sinking three of the wife, sister-in-law, and boxer in the regular aircraft carrier, and destroying all nine light aircraft carriers, in addition to sinking four heavy cruisers, five light cruisers, six destroyers, and dozens of transport ships and amphibious ships preparing to land, and more than 30,000 land forces were drowned, and countless weapons and materials were lost. The remaining battleships and aircraft carriers were all wounded,

Secondly, in terms of the results of this naval battle, Japan won. But it is a pity that most of this result was won by the Japanese Air Force, so the Navy still had no face. And this time the Air Force was not in the limelight, in addition to driving away the US Navy, it also saved Yamashita Fengwen.

As mentioned earlier, the Japanese People's Air Force on this plane is a very strange army, and they not only have powerful air forces, but also powerful ground forces. Not to mention the paratrooper unit, there is also a unique branch of the army in the world, which is the "Air Force Special Marine Corps", referred to as the "Air Force Marine Corps". Note that this is not a paratrooper unit, they will not parachute, to put it bluntly, this is a mechanized marine unit under the establishment of the Air Force.

The reason why it is so strange is entirely because the Japanese Science and Technology Socialist Party did not trust the army and navy in the early days of the revolution, because Kita Ichiki and others thought that there were too many old officers in the army and navy, and they were worried that their good seedlings would be brought astray. Therefore, he drew a group of his cronies and good seedlings from the army and navy, and added revolutionary youths newly recruited from middle schools, universities, and civilian organizations to form the air force.

Later, the bigwigs of the Japanese Science and Technology Socialist Party found that in addition to the necessary personnel such as pilots and ground crew, there were many more, and these people could not be idle. It just so happened that they were also a little wary of the army, so they reorganized this group of people into paratroopers, but the paratroopers did not need so much. A certain bigwig had an idea and said: The navy has a marine, why can't the air force have one?

Well, so the "Air Marines", a unique branch of the army in the world, was created.

Because it is the "own son" of the Japanese Science and Technology Party, the "Air Marines" are also called the "SS". This unit is very strong, both in terms of equipment, training, and treatment. Before the outbreak of World War II, the largest establishment of the Air Force was a brigade group, with a total of eight. After the outbreak of World War II, Japan intended to start a move on South Africa, and began to expand its army, as its own son, the Air Force Marine Corps was of course a priority, and it was expanded to 15 brigades at once, including 4 armored brigades, 5 mechanized infantry brigades, 5 motorized brigades and 1 mountain brigade.

The 1st Armored Brigade and the 5th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Air Force, with the support of the Air Force, withstood the repeated attacks of the four divisions landed by the United States in Queenston for five days, creating an opportunity for the retreat of the Japanese Southern Front. If they hadn't arrived in time and carried the U.S. troops to the death for 5 days, the 250,000 people in Yamashita Fengwen might have been dumplings.

"The Japanese Navy suffered a lot of losses this time, all of their four Flying Eagle class ships sank, and Feihe and Yunhe had to be overhauled, and they couldn't be repaired in half a year. Shohe and Zuihe will need to be repaired for at least 2 months......" Wang Tieshu said seriously: "Japan is now in urgent need of aircraft carriers......"

Although the United States suffered a large loss this time, Japan also suffered a lot of losses, but the industrial strength of the two countries is completely different from the same level. Although Japan on this plane is much stronger than the original plane, it is not at all an order of magnitude higher than that of the United States.

From the second half of this year to the beginning of next year, the United States will have at least eight aircraft carriers in service, and by the end of next year, the number will be no less than this year, and all of them will be regular large aircraft carriers of the Midway-class! However, Japan will not have two Ruilong-class aircraft carriers in service until early next year, and this is not enough at all. As for the four Relong classes, which started construction last year and this year, they will not be completed until at least mid-'44 to early '45.

After this battle, no matter how stubborn the Japanese Navy was, they could only admit that the battleships were no longer up to their needs, and that the main force in naval warfare was aircraft carriers. But now it's just a lack of success. Even if you take those battleships and cruisers under construction, it's too late to refit them. Now is the critical moment, a bad one may be a complete turnaround, what should Japan do?

As a result, some people proposed to try to buy active aircraft carriers from China and the allies of the People's Revolutionary Federation, and directly obtain the hot ships. In this way, Japan will not be able to acquire a number of aircraft carriers in a few months, and then attack on a large scale to stabilize the situation before the new American aircraft carriers are launched and the strength of the fleet is restored.

"Lao Wang, don't you just want to dispose of those Zhou Dynasty and Han Dynasty class, it's ...... to put it mildly" Meng Shu said disdainfully beside him.

"Hehehe, aren't I helping my allies......" Wang Tiehammer's expression remained unchanged.

Xin Jie glanced at him and sneered: "But Lao Wang, your Zhou Dynasty class can't be sold, the Japanese feel that the survivability of light aircraft carriers is too low, this naval battle is the best example, Japan's 4 Flying Eagle class and the United States' 9 Independence class all sank." So they are at least at the Han Dynasty level this time. ”

"It's okay, all 6 Han Dynasty-class ships are sold to them......"

Wen Deji thought for a while and said: "This is not enough, the 8 ships of the United States are all Midway-class, so let's coordinate Persia and Siam, their three Guangming-class ships will not be used for the time being, all of them will be sold to Japan, and we will build new ones for them." In addition, 4 Liaoning-class ships can also be prepared to be transferred to them......"
