    On the European battlefield, which had been quiet for the past year, the two major grassroots groups that had been in a stalemate finally broke the stalemate under the instigation of China's advanced military equipment.  The Allied Powers and the Central Powers purchased China's advanced military equipment at the same time, but the Allied Powers followed the idea of ??half purchasing and half self-made and imitating.  Due to a serious shortage of steel, the Allies had to rely mostly on purchasing Chinese equipment.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT off, you will get good returns. There is no doubt that the Allies have taken advantage of this.  In early August of that year, under the influence of the superior strength of the Allied armies, the Allies relied on "official" Chinese equipment to defeat the "knockoffs" of the Allied Powers and achieved unprecedented results.  On the 6th, after a week of suffering, the Battle of Verdun, which the Allies had held for four and a half years, collapsed.  Facing the fierce attack of nearly five million German and Austrian allied forces, the Allied Powers' more than three million Allied troops declared a defense failure. The six lines of defense outside Versailles fell one after another within one day on the 6th. In a week of resistance, the Allied Powers lost one hundred people.  With an army of 350,000, the defense system of Verdun Fortress fell after more than four hard-fought efforts.  Beginning in the early morning of August 7, the Allied forces retreated across the board, directly affecting the Marne River defense line.  In order to preserve its combat power, the Allied High Command ordered the British and French forces in the direction of the Marne River to intercept the German and Austrian forces.  At the same time, the Allied troops who had no time to withdraw from the Verdun area were ordered to defend the Verdun Fortress and the final urban area of ??Verdun, prepare for the final street battle, and be sure to delay the German-Austrian Allied Forces.  Due to the flank attack of the Allied Forces in the direction of the Marne River, the Allied forces were unable to let go of their hands and feet to pursue the retreating main force of the Allied Powers, and had to clear the Allied Forces in the direction of the Marne River first.  At the same time, the remaining coalition forces that defended Verdun were stunned to delay the pursuit of the millions of Allied troops.  On August 1st, under the cover of aircraft, the German army concentrated 40,000 people, equipped with dozens of remaining tanks, and hundreds of artillery, and launched a fierce attack on the Verdun city defense fortress in an attempt to capture Verdun in one fell swoop.  .  The commander-in-chief of the French 6th Army, Joffre, ordered the old 10,000 French troops and 20,000 U.S. troops in the urban area of ??Verdun to stand still and wait for reinforcements.  And appointed Bechtel, the commander of the Third Army, as the commander of the army. At the same time, although the Allied forces retreated, they retreated in an organized manner.  Xiafei planned to rely on the nearby mountains and rivers to lure the enemy deeper and resist step by step.  Standby to defeat the enemy.  On August 1st, the German army engaged the garrison guard troops from the northern area of ??Verdun.  Starting from the afternoon, the German army repeatedly attacked Verdun and entered the city many times.  The British and French defenders fought tenaciously and launched a fierce battle with the German army.  The German army stormed for three days and three nights before they broke into the city.  The British and French defenders in the city launched fierce street battles with the German troops.  Although the German army occupied two-thirds of the city, the British and French defenders in the center refused to retreat until death, holding on to their positions in order to gain time for the main force to retreat and build defensive positions to block the German attack.  The resistance of the tens of thousands of British and French forces in Versailles was very tenacious, and street after street had to undergo a desperate struggle before they could be captured.  Although General Hindenburg, the German Chief of Staff, was eager to attack the main force of the Allies, he knew that if the Marne River and the defenders in Verdun were not completely eliminated, it would become a huge threat to the German army.  Therefore, Hindenburg issued strict orders to capture Verdun and defeat the Allied forces on the Marne River.  However, at this time, Europe has entered the autumn rainy season, especially in the Verdun and Marne areas of France, where rainfall is much higher than in previous years.  Due to the war, the nearby river embankments and reservoirs were blown up, so once the flood season entered, the land in France was very muddy.  France at this time did not have an extensive railway and road network like France during World War II. France at this time had not yet developed to that extent.  As a result, the muddy roads slowed German progress and hampered supplies.  In addition, the main force of the Allied Powers got a chance to breathe, relying on the favorable terrain, arranged in echelons, and resisted step by step.  As a result, the German army made slow progress after the victories at Verdun and the Marne.  The arrival of the autumn rain season gave the Allied Powers a great respite, allowing them to recover as soon as possible and organize a counterattack.  On August 20, 2019, China¡¯s first self-designed and built aircraft carrier, the First Emperor-class aircraft carrier, went through a long period of construction and sea trials. After a long period of construction and sea trials, it was incorporated into the Chinese Royal Navy¡¯s local fleet and became the flagship of the local fleet. This ship  The construction of the big piece with a full load displacement of more than 60,000 tons took more than four years, which was one year longer than expected. This was mainly due to the innovation of the world's naval warship theory and the rapid progress of the naval industry during the construction process.  When designing, we did not take into account the rapid development of the world's naval and aviation fields. This was all due to the advancement of the war.  requirements. The war has shocked arms dealers in various countries.??, governments of various countries have endlessly devalued their currencies and increased taxes. The people's hard-earned money has been taken away by the governments and flowed into the pockets of arms dealers.  ??Almost all arms dealers are nouveau riche, but the pressure they bear is also very huge. The government has put forward increasingly higher requirements for arms dealers.  Especially with the influx of China's advanced weapons and equipment, governments of various countries cannot tolerate the high prices of Chinese weapons, but they have to adopt them.  : Ding Liuqia The requirements of arms dealers from various countries are naturally very high.  It's important for Shao Shaoji that the arms dealers in Factory 2 follow suit.  All of this has led to weapons experts from various countries to frantically upgrade and improve weapons. Not only do they imitate most of China's weapons and equipment, but sometimes the performance of the upgraded weapons will pose a challenge to Chinese weapons experts.  This forces China's arms experts to work harder and develop weapons with more advanced performance to ensure their absolute advantage over Europe and the United States.  The naval industry is the most concentrated expression of this aspect. The technological content on a warship is enough to show the overall level of the country's industry and the strength of its technological strength.  Over the years, China has continued to steal high-level knowledge and technical elements such as scientists and experts from various countries.  This allows China to maintain its leadership in the world when cultivating its own talents.  Of course, if you want to stay ahead forever, you must develop your own technological capabilities.  Obviously, China¡¯s science and technology exhibition time is still too short in comparison.  Like the economy, it is an explosive development.  Or you can simply understand it and analyze it from the perspective of Europeans looking at the Chinese, "China is just a nouveau riche!" The nouveau riche does not mean aristocrats, unless you continue to explode and integrate into the concubine society!  Obviously, China¡¯s talent team is not completely connected. There is a certain distance between the older generation of scientists such as Anderson and the newer scientists.  This is inevitable. Who made China's price too low?  However, while China has continuously developed its own people over the years, it has not stopped plundering advanced foreign individuals and technologies.  Especially in the five years from the old year to the Zhoukou year, the world war caused a lot of foreign scientists to immigrate abroad.  At first, most of them liked the United States, but after the United States also entered the war, they began to consider China.  At this time, China¡¯s various foreign policies, as well as immigration permission for high-level intellectuals, as well as high invention creation and subsidies, have become the best choice for scientists from all over the world.  In particular, the advanced equipment in China's National Academy of Sciences and combat laboratories are the only choice for many experts who have strict requirements on the scientific research environment.  In this way, China will be able to solve the problem of the replacement of the old and new generations.  A large number of foreign scientific and technological immigrants have enriched the middle generation of China's scientific and technological team.  This allows the new and old generations to continue normally.  This is also creatively reflected in the world's largest warship, the First Emperor aircraft carrier.  Due to the continuous improvement of the design and upgrades of the aircraft carrier, the completion time of this aircraft carrier was delayed by a full year.  However, after more reasonable and systematic upgrades and modifications, the aircraft carrier Shi Huangdi no longer looks so "old-fashioned" and the fashion sense is highlighted, and it is closer to the appearance of later generations of aircraft carriers, and is generally similar to  Later generations of the Forrestal aircraft carrier looked similar.  After further optimization, the layout of the hangar of the Shihuang Emperor appears to be more reasonable, and the capacity has also been expanded a lot.  At the same time, the design of the ship island is more compact, and the position has been moved back, closer to the starboard side of the stern, leaving more space for the take-off area in front.  After the optimization, the number of aircraft carriers carried by the Shi Huangdi Emperor has also increased to a powerful level.  This is mainly due to the further improvement of the folding wings of the carrier-based aircraft, which has increased the aerodynamic horsepower.  Instead, the wings of the aircraft are shorter.  The size of the Hornet carrier-based fighter jets and bombers has shrunk a lot, making them more compact and more like a honeycomb.  The improvement of the aircraft carrier¡¯s defense capabilities is the most critical.  Some officials in the Navy were ridiculed by the Zhao party members, claiming that the aircraft carrier was vulnerable.  For this reason, the planers decided to improve the aircraft carrier's defense capabilities.  Of course, it is not just to install large-caliber main guns, but to enhance the anti-sinking performance of the aircraft carrier itself.  In terms of anti-sinking performance, China has always been a leader in the world, and the watertight cabin layout of Chinese ships has always been recognized by Europe and the United States.  In order to enhance the anti-sinking capability of the aircraft carrier, the Navy further expanded the number and sealing properties of the watertight compartments of the Hawaii-class battleships.  In the end, the aircraft carrier's anti-sinking ability was greatly improved. It can resist the attack of old torpedoes, and can be hit by two torpedoes at the same time to maintain a balanced movement of the warship.  The reason why it can achieve this kind of anti-sinking capability is mainly because the tonnage of the aircraft carrier is too large.  The armor protection of Tun's aircraft carrier is no worse than that of a battleship.Wherever they go, the attack methods are just different.  Battleships attack with main guns, while aircraft carriers attack with fighter jets.  Of course, if an aircraft carrier attacks others from the air, it must also prevent others from attacking itself from the air.  To this end, scientists developed the Boron 3 Vulcan Phalanx with a brighter strike surface based on the Boron Diao Vulcan Phalanx.  The Boron 3 Vulcan Phalanx is different from the previous four-unit parallel machine gun system.  Because during the shooting, it was discovered that to deal with targets flying in the air, the four-unit parallel machine gun fired at one.  Plane, the impact on the target is not very good.  So, experts are asking about boron?  On the basis of the Vulcan Phalanx, the firing layout was modified, and a Gatling-style gun layout with a tube power of 1.5 mm was adopted. In order to deal with metal-cased fighters, it fired armor-piercing shells, and the firing was roughly within 10 minutes.  You can adjust the shooting and storage capabilities, the range is about 100 meters, and the entire system weighs 1000 kilograms.  Its appearance has also changed from its previous appearance and is very distinctive.  The previous Boron 2 Vulcan Phalanx used the lower ammunition box to feed ammunition, and when necessary, two or two personnel could be deployed.  Today¡¯s Boron 3 Vulcan Phalanx has changed this form.  The entire ammunition storage section was rerouted above.  It looks like a machine gun magazine, except that the magazine of the Shen 3 Vulcan Phalanx is very large. The volume of the 24 bullets is twice as large as the entire Phalanx barrel and base, as if it is wearing a long one on its head.  Tall hat in general.  Due to improvements in fire control radar.  The 3 Phalanx system no longer relies on manpower to operate, because powerful shots cannot be controlled by manpower.  The Boron 3 Vulcan Phalanx adopts all electric controls, and a small directional detection radar is installed on it.  This radar was invented by the British Navy in the 1990s. It was originally used to determine the direction of German radio signals. It was improved by Chinese naval experts and became a directional fire control radar. It can measure the radar reflection position of air fighters and determine the direction of the aircraft.  .  And pass the data to the central fire control radar room for analysis.  The central fire control radar room was originally installed on the battleship to control the firing of each main gun.  Now it has also been moved to the First Emperor aircraft carrier, so that the central command room of the aircraft carrier can directly control the Boron 3 Vulcan Phalanx system.  The improved3 Vulcan Phalanx system, the prototype's firing area can ensure a larger attack area, form a dense air defense firepower point, and enhance the aircraft carrier's air defense capabilities.  At the same time, the original Lise Vulcan Phalanx system was also changed into a base, which was arranged around the ship island with a relatively reasonable distribution up and down, forming a three-dimensional air defense network and strengthening the aircraft carrier's air defense firepower.  It is also a ten-seat dual-mounted field millimeter high-level dual-purpose gun, used to attack small surface ships close to the aircraft carrier.  At the same time, because of the threat of submarines, the aircraft carrier has added multiple sonar systems and an underwater towed sonar to prevent the aircraft carrier's anti-submarine blind spots.  It also strengthens the ability to attack submarines. Two catapults for releasing depth bombs are arranged behind the aircraft carrier. When necessary, the aircraft carrier can also participate in anti-submarine operations.  The power system has also been greatly improved, reducing the number of boilers to one, but the speed has in turn increased.  8 steam turbine units, 4-shaft propulsion, roaring to indicate horsepower, and flying blades.  The battery life is as good as the sea.  The improved folding carrier-based Hornet fighter can be parked on the First Emperor aircraft carrier, the Hornet torpedo bomber can be parked on the force rack alone, and the Galaxy bomber can be parked on the field rack when parked alone.  However, after the completion of the First Emperor aircraft carrier, all calculations were made, and the total price reached an astonishing 40,000 yuan, twice the original budget.  The Admiralty had a headache as the Imperial Cabinet and Parliament expected to freeze further construction of such a costly hunk.  Therefore, the Admiralty and the Royal Navy Fleet Command planned an exercise in which the aircraft carrier Shi Huangdi and the Chinese battleship Shanhe were engaged in a confrontation exercise.  During the exercise, the aircraft carrier Shi Huangdi took advantage of its shipboard radar and aviation capabilities and used its bombers to conduct a simulated bombing of the battleship Jiahe.  The huge number of bombers immediately overwhelmed the fragile air defense system of the battleship Shanhe, and it was quickly sunk by more than a hundred Hornet torpedo bombers.  From the beginning to the end, the battleship Shanhe never found the location of the aircraft carrier Shi Huangdi.  This simulation exercise shocked officials of the Chinese Navy. Among the Royal Navy officers, the party members felt the crisis and expressed their request for a re-evaluation.  However, the final result of the Admiralty Evaluation Committee was that the bombs and torpedoes carried by the aircraft carrier were enough to blow up any battleship in the world, including the Norwegian Navy's abnormal version of the battleship.  According to the analysis of the current air defense capabilities on the battleships, the bombers carried by the Shihuang Emperor aircraft carrier can completely break through the opponent's air defense network. Of course, it is still quite difficult to break through the air defense phalanx on the Chinese Royal Navy battleships.  But the navyThe final conclusion of the Estimates Committee was that aircraft carriers would soon become a huge threat to battleships and would send battleships to their graves.  Although the aircraft carried by the current aircraft carriers can only destroy the battleships of other countries and are also within a certain threat range to China's battleship family, it is undoubtedly a victory for the planers.  So, the Zhao party members began their new battleship design and made unprecedented improvements to the existing battleship air defense system.  The First Emperor aircraft carrier can adopt the advanced technology on the battleship. Why don¡¯t our battleships install the advanced technology on the aircraft carrier?  At the insistent request of the Zhao party officers of the Admiralty, the Admiralty also saw the threat posed by the navy from the air, so it agreed to strengthen the air defense capabilities of all warships currently in service and under construction in the Imperial Royal Navy.  The Boron-3 Vulcan Phalanx has also been installed on a large scale on battleships, especially on the X-class battleships. The Zhao people installed as many air defense Phalanxes on them as the First Emperor aircraft carrier in one go.  In this way, the air defense system on China's battleships is very advanced and is ahead of the aircraft development of this era, making it impossible for current aircraft to break through the defenses of China's battleships, allowing China's battleship family to continue to move forward without being probed.  defeat.  At the same time, China¡¯s monopoly on the world¡¯s aviation field has resulted in the aircraft technology of countries around the world being suppressed by China and unable to advance rapidly.  The development of China's air defense system has ultimately indirectly extended the life of the world's navy's cannon doctrine.
