Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, naval officers were divided into two rows to discuss whether to continue to expand the construction of battleships.  And whether we believe the Party can replace battleships with aircraft carriers.  Since three years ago, Zhang Yunfei has stopped intervening in military affairs and completely left it to the cabinet and the General Staff.  At this time, Chief of General Staff Tian Renjie saw Zhang Yunfei's expression and knew that Zhang Yunfei would not care about the dispute this time, so he had to bite the bullet and make a choice within the navy.  According to the report submitted by Navy Secretary Du Xigui, various actions of the United States indicate that the U.S. Navy uses the Imperial Navy as an enemy and continues to engage in an arms race with the Empire.  At this time, the empire is still hesitant on the issue of aircraft carriers and -class battleships. This will cause divergence in the strategic thinking of the Imperial Navy, making it unable to tighten its fists and greatly reducing its strength.  Therefore, Du Xigui emphasized in the report.  The Imperial Navy has yet to obtain a practical test of its theory of the ultimate victory of the aircraft carrier.  Therefore, as the war in the United States continues to approach, the Imperial Navy should continue to follow a mature and stable path, that is, continue to follow the naval path of giant ship and cannon doctrine.  But the General Staff had a different idea.  Because the Imperial Navy¡¯s shipbuilding costs are increasing.  In recent years, almost all financial allocations to the military have been spent on the construction of battleships.  Nowadays, battleships in various countries are getting bigger and bigger.  The unit price has risen to 300 million dragon coins. Such a large-scale arms race will sooner or later drag the empire's finances into the quagmire.  The General Staff is more inclined to build aircraft carriers to replace the first-class battleships because with the design and construction experience learned by the empire on the first-class Shi Huangdi aircraft carrier, the Naval Engineering Department has been able to reduce the tonnage of the aircraft carrier to about 20,000 tons, and the aircraft carrier has  However, the number of aircraft carried has not been reduced, so the combat power has not been weakened, but the cost has been reduced rapidly. The empire's expenses for building a Luoyang-class battleship can be used to build an aircraft carrier or form an aircraft carrier fleet.  The general staff couldn¡¯t help but ignore the cost.  Because the financial funding received by the General Staff is certain, but the General Staff has to balance the overall balance of sea, air, sea and second artillery units. If the navy and air force continue to allocate a large amount of funds, the air force will continue to allocate a large amount of funds.  The Sixth Army and the Second Artillery Force will have more and more complaints.  Unless the Ministry of Finance can increase funding for the military, it will only be increased during times of war. Nowadays, no country is at war with the Chinese Empire. Therefore, the Ministry of Finance will only increase funding for the military in accordance with the normal growth of the national economy and will not increase it.  of appropriations.  therefore.  The General Staff Headquarters needs to properly allocate funds to balance the funding of the Second Army and the Second Artillery Force.  " Seeing Tian Renjie trying to reason with the generals of the First Army very earnestly, but the generals of the First Army were very reasonable in their opinions, and Tian Renjie couldn't help but give face because he was a veteran and important minister of the empire.  Zhang Yunfei saw it in his eyes and knew that Tian Renjie, an old minister and important minister, could not save his face.  So I had to intervene a little again.  According to Zhang Yunji¡¯s opinion, the cost of building the Intention-class battleship is indeed too expensive. Although the empire has money, it cannot waste it like this.  However, since European and American countries have started to build frightening super battleship empires, there is no reason not to shock them.  So Zhang Yuntu finally made a decision to balance all parties.  The Imperial Navy is allowed to build a first-class battleship, but this class of battleship will be the final work of the empire, that is, the ultimate battleship.  Because Zhang Yunfei knew that aircraft carriers would replace battleships.  The decision made by Zhang Yunfei and the military ministers did not have any anti-current opinions, but Du Xigui demanded that there should be no restrictions on the ultimate battleship of the empire.  The constraints should be loosened to allow Imperial naval engineers to take advantage of existing Imperial technological capabilities.  Full play.  Zhang Yunfei nodded in agreement.  But in the end, a condition was added that only one was allowed to be built.  Only one ship was allowed to be built, which made the party members of the naval system feel disappointed. However, Zhang Yunfei did not have any other restrictions that allowed them to fully utilize the existing technical level, which still gave the party members hope.  Because they know that as long as they build an invincible battleship and shut up all the provocateurs, the Imperial Navy will continue to follow the path of giant ship and cannon doctrine.  So the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire has the empire¡¯s ultimate battleship, the Huaxia-class battleship.  The Huaxia-class battleship is a mythical work of the ardent admirers of the Imperial Navy¡¯s giant ship cannon doctrine.  It is a summary of the naval glory of the Imperial Royal Navy for more than ten years. It is the pinnacle of the world's battleship era and the last roar of the battleship era.  The design displacement of the Huaxia-class battleship.  The maximum displacement is 4 tons.  The total length is 1 meter, the width is 1 meter, and the draft is 10,000 meters, and the fully loaded draft is 1 meter.  The maximum flight range is four nautical miles, and it can sail around the world at a low speed.  The main gun is a two-gun main gun with an island diameter of 2 millimeters, and the front secondary gun is a twin gun with a turret mount of 2 millimeter diameter.  The anti-aircraft guns occupy the gate pass, the 4 mm smart caliber gun, the door blade, the 4 mm smart caliber gun, and the Type 3 Vulcan Phalanx.  The armor on the side of the ship is 87 inches, and the armor on the lower deck is slightly 3 inches.  Field armor 1 inch concave center main gun armor front inch denierThe main side is 8 inches, the secondary battery armor is 1 inch, the bridge armor is 1 inch.  The space on the ship can carry the Eagle Eye reconnaissance and early warning aircraft.  2 sets of Diqinhan stretch the roots.  The crew number is 2 people on weekdays, and the maximum number is Xuankou during wartime.  Electronic equipment such as radar, sonar, flight fire control and measurement equipment are all the most advanced and have been greatly improved compared to the Luoyang-class battleships.  The Hua Xia class battleship is unprecedented in terms of displacement, flight and firepower. According to the design of the Imperial Navy gangsters, this class battleship is invincible and cannot be sunk.  Because no active battleship can get close to her.  The Huaxia-class battleship has a basic visual range combat capability because its hull is equipped with not only the terrifying 1mm main gun but also an old ship-to-ship guided missile system that is unknown to the world.  The missile project has always been the direction of secret research by the Empire. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Empire established a specialized missile research project team in the combat laboratory.  After years of research and development, the Imperial missile program has made significant progress.  A missile launch base was established in Fengtai, northern Xinjiang, to test various types of missiles.  In fact, the empire¡¯s missile research projects are still based on foreign technical foundations.  As early as the 1970s, Swedish engineer Laval discovered the Laval nozzle, which made the design of rocket engines increasingly perfect.  The end of the century and the beginning of the century.  Liquid rocket technology began to take off.  In his nephew's year, Tsiolkovsky of Russia proposed the idea and design principles of manufacturing large liquid rockets.  On March 20, 2017, American rocket expert and physicist Goddard tested the first uncontrolled liquid rocket. In 2007, the Pacific missile project team led by Hermann Oberth, a German scientist in the Ming Dynasty, successfully tested the human  The first liquid rocket. After visiting the liquid rocket launch test developed by the project team, the imperial government began to organize a group of scientists and engineering technicians to realize the huge potential of rocket weapons in future wars.  The force secretly developed rocket weapons. At the same time, Zhang Yunfei showed great interest in this and renamed the rocket missiles. From then on, the missiles entered the imperial side's secret actual combat tests. After the empire established that missiles were used for military purposes, they successively developed short-range missiles  The missile is equipped with a simple pulse jet engine on the mid-wing and is designed by Imperial North Industrial Corporation. It uses a predetermined guidance device to launch the missile in a roughly specified direction.  The total weight is about 2 kilograms, of which 2 kilograms are high-energy RDX. The very simple chimney-shaped thing installed on the missile body is an aviation gasoline engine The missile's hit rate is surprisingly low, but the military  However, after a long period of testing and summarizing a lot of missile flight data, the empire's missile technology has matured since the old days. The old missiles used rocket engines as power devices.  The pure warhead weight of the missile is tons, of which the RDX explosive part is 3 kilograms of fuel. The total weight has a range of up to 10 kilometers. The missile uses an inertial gyroscope and a directional detection radio for radio guidance. The explosion yield of the missile is very large.  Easily destroying a 10,000-ton merchant ship or a weakly protected warship has become a powerful lethal weapon for the empire. Based on the old missiles, the empire has successively launched old surface-to-surface missiles, surface-to-air missiles, and shore-to-ship missiles.  Old air-to-ship missiles. Suspended ship-to-ship missiles. When it comes to modern missiles, the missile has successfully combined radar technology and radio remote control guidance technology, and its accuracy has been greatly improved. At the same time, the size of the hammer missile has been greatly improved due to the maturity of compression technology.  It is much smaller. The rapid penetration capability of the aircraft is further reduced than that of the air-to-ground missile. The missile carries less fuel, but it can attack ground tanks when mounted on the aircraft.  Tanks are specially developed. However, considering that the Galaxy bombers and Hornet torpedo bombers on the sea attack aircraft carrier are loaded with missiles that can attack ships, they are actually improved versions of the rocket-type torpedoes developed by the United States in 2006.  After being equipped with high-explosive RDX warheads, the destructive power of the battleship is quite powerful. However, the old air-to-ship missile is not powerful enough to deal with small destroyers and can also deal with large battleships. Therefore, the Imperial Army launched again.  Ship-to-ship missiles use huge battleships to carry missiles that can cause fatal damage to large enemy watercraft. Air-to-submarine missiles are just anti-submarine missiles carried by destroyers for air combat.  Air-to-air missiles are still under development because the technical requirements for air-to-air missiles in combat are too high. Experts from the Imperial Missile Project Team are constantly exploring and testing.  At this time, the Imperial Second Artillery Force had already installed two missile brigades carried by motor trucks.  It exists as a strategic strike force of the Imperial Army.  However, the Imperial Second Artillery Corps not only has a separate missile brigade, but also has two multiple rocket launcher brigades in service.  Multiple launch rocketYou started research very early on.  As the imperial missile technology continued to mature, the first rockets were used in rocket launchers.  The main function of the rocket launcher is to ignite the rocket and give the rocket the initial flight direction.  Since the rocket relies on the thrust of its own engine to fly, the rocket launcher does not need to be able to withstand huge loads, and there is no recoil risk on the fuselage and cannon.  The rocket launcher can fire multiple rounds and use larger rockets. Its firing range is fast and its firepower is fierce.  It has good surprise performance but large projectile dispersion, so it is mostly used to carry out area fire strikes on targets.  The Imperial Wind Rocket Launcher is the main rocket artillery equipment in active service in the Empire. This self-propelled rocket launcher is installed on the chassis of a truck. It is equipped with a rail-mounted director and can be mounted with concave millimeter tail rockets. The maximum range is approximately 100 years. It was officially equipped with the Imperial Second Artillery Force in 2008.  .  As the empire's strategic strike force, the Second Artillery's rocket launcher system is coveted by the Imperial Army.  After that, the Imperial Army¡¯s Army Headquarters tried their best to request the General Staff Headquarters to improve the tornado rocket launcher system and reduce the caliber of the rockets for the Army.  After more than two years of demonstration and testing, the Imperial Royal Sixth Army Yu Zhaobai obtained the first batch of four Buran multiple rocket launcher tanks.  The old Buran multiple rocket launcher uses a one-time combination of Tianmm rockets and multiple rockets in the caliber of the low tornado rocket launcher.  The range Bakou Zhu can carry out a saturation strike on the enemy.  An old Buran multiple rocket launcher brigade.  The ability to saturate the enemy's deployed positions and suppress their combat capabilities shocked the Imperial Army.  Although the Imperial Navy is only allowed to build one Huaxia-class battleship, the armament system of this Huaxia battleship is already extremely powerful.  The imperial party members were unwilling to let the giant ship and artillery doctrine disappear from history, so they spent a lot of effort on it.  Since Zhang Yunfei did not limit the size of the Huaxia-class battleship, the ship concentrated all the advanced equipment and technology of the empire on its huge sea front.  The space-time combat capability has indeed made it impossible for European and American aircraft and warships to approach.  At the same time, the advanced radar system can detect enemy ships before they can, so that they can easily get rid of air attacks from time to time and wait for opportunities for enemy ships to launch attacks.  It can be said that the Huaxia-class battleship is an invincible battleship. Its armor protection can withstand four torpedoes hitting simultaneously without affecting its combat capabilities. It can withstand the attack of one torpedo and resist the artillery attack of any current battleship because their main gun shells cannot be fired at all.  Wuhuang penetrates the armor of the battleship Huaxia.  Zhang Yunfei approved the construction of the Huaxia-class battleship. Zhang Yunfei did not feel distressed about this battleship, which was expected to cost up to 100 million dragon coins.  On the contrary, he was very much looking forward to it because this battleship was not only the last dream of the imperial battleship, but also the pride of the imperial people.  Just like the name of this battleship, the meaning represented by the Huaxia is no longer the strongest battleship in the world, but the pride of the Chinese nation.  In the past, the Youdang Party members often questioned why the Navy Ministry gave the name of the First Emperor to the aircraft carrier.  Now when they got the name Huaxia as the name of the battleship, it was the turn of the party members to feel jealous and envious as if jealousy had been overturned.  However, it is clear that Zhang Yunfei still preferred the plan in his final decision. The party members believed that the era of aircraft carriers and battleships was coming.  For this reason, when the construction of the Huaxia battleship started, the Ministry of Navy also approved the plan to build an aircraft carrier fleet of the Imperial Royal Navy.  At this time, the empires have a home fleet, a Pacific fleet, and an Atlantic fleet.  The Indian Ocean Fleet flies to the Arctic Ocean Fleet. This fleet only has icebreakers stationed at Novaya Zemlya between the Barents Sea in northern Russia and Denmark's Green Island. Only the Pacific Fleet has one Shi Huangdi class aircraft carrier. The other four aircraft carriers that were built in the early stage have been reduced to  Used for aircraft carrier training ships.  Because the Imperial Navy Ministry approved the construction of four Hanwu Emperor-class aircraft carriers. ? Among them, the Hanwu Emperor-class aircraft carrier also maintains the tonnage of the First Emperor aircraft carrier and upgrades its electronic equipment based on the ship.  The power system of the Hanwu Emperor-class aircraft carrier has optimized many boilers, 4 steam turbine units, and 4-axis propulsion engines.  Four indicates horsepower.  3 knots.  Battery life worries about the convex joints of the body in the sea.  Standard displacement.  tons of full load displacement.  The armament is a "fire machine" type 3 Phalanx array. It is arranged around the right side of the ship island. Ten type twin-mounted four-mm high-level dual-purpose guns are mounted on independent gun mounts protruding below the aircraft carrier's flight deck for edge shooting.  At the same time, the Hanwu Emperor-class aircraft carrier was equipped with a ship-to-ship missile when it was approached by an enemy warship.  This weapon can be used to attack. The Hornet folding carrier-based fighter can be parked on the aircraft carrier Hanwu Emperor. The Yellow Cicada bomber can be parked alone. The Galaxy bomber can be parked alone on the Hanwu Emperor aircraft carrier.  class aircraft carrierEach ship was named Emperor Hanwu, Emperor Gaodi of Han Dynasty, Emperor Hanwen of Han Dynasty.  Lead the followers of Khan Jingdi to fly.  Among them, the Hanwu Emperor and the Hengaodi serve in the Royal Navy's Pacific Fleet, the Hanwen Emperor serves in the Atlantic Fleet, and the Hanjing Emperor serves in the Indian Ocean Fleet.  Thank you to book friends "Wa Si Han Yue Lan" and others for their valuable monthly votes.
