It's unimaginable. Are those pigeon missiles really that powerful?" Wen Desi was also shocked by the results of the "Elizabeth Naval Battle".  "Mr. Wen, we have analyzed it in detail. In fact, these pigeon missiles are not terrible. Because they are very slow, less than 600 kilometers, and large in size, they are easy to intercept. If the Japanese army is prepared,  It is impossible to suffer such serious losses. The Japanese underestimated the enemy. "In fact, if it were us, it would be impossible for the American aircraft to get closer than 100 kilometers." "Also, Kurita."  Keno is not familiar with aircraft carriers, and he is simply a layman on the operation of aircraft carriers. When facing a saturation attack, the battleships should be allowed to protect the aircraft carriers instead of spreading them out." Wang Tiechui pointed out the inferiority of his Japanese counterparts.  level.  "In addition, he actually ran away! The US fleet on the opposite side actually suffered greater losses. In this case, they should not run at all." Chief of General Staff Xin Jie said: "Another point is that the United States succeeded in this raid.  There was a lot of luck involved. There was a fleet of Japanese Air Force aircraft nearby. If the Navy could communicate smoothly with the Air Force, those bombers would not be able to get through. Also, the Japanese Army also discovered this large fleet, but they did not.  The navy was not alerted to this. This kind of thing is simply unimaginable in our army" Rossi said: "Japan's military conflicts have existed for a long time, and this naval defeat directly caused the retreat of the southern front.  The conflict between the navy has intensified again" He pointed to the map and said: "Yamashita Fengfumi, who was attacking the Cape Province, was afraid of being cut off from his retreat and being dumped by the Yankees, so he had to abandon Port Elizabeth and retreat all the way to the Orange River area.  , the originally good situation was ruined, and the situation in the entire south suddenly deteriorated. I heard that Yamashita Tomofumi almost beat Kurita Takeo at the meeting" Everyone heard this.  , all felt a little funny.  Needless to say, the contradiction between the Japanese army and navy has been preserved. Even the new Japan after the revolution has retained this tradition.  Although there is no such exaggeration as in the past, "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.  It's okay if it's a smooth battle, but if something goes wrong, the two sides will definitely quarrel.  "What if the American Pigeon missile is faster? For example, if it is increased to the speed of sound" Zhang Lizheng, who had been silent just now, said.  "This is impossible" Meng Shu smiled and said: "We did experiments with experts from the Academy of Biological Sciences. Animals like pigeons cannot adapt to such a fast speed. In the form of the United States, once  If the carrier exceeds 650 kilometers, the pigeon's eyes will not be able to aim. If it is faster, the pigeon will faint. Although pigeons are birds, their brains are not developed enough and their adaptability is far inferior to humans. In fact, if Americans are not.  If the pigeons were given medicine in advance, the hit rate would be even lower. "Is there such a thing?" Zhang Lizheng was a little unbelievable.  "That's it. If you want to know more about it, Lao Zhang, you can ask the Academy of Biological Sciences" Xin Jie said, "Well, this problem was also one of the reasons why the United States in the original time and space finally gave up on this plan.  "This kind of thing is crooked. Even if it succeeds, it is just an accident." After looking at the test report in front of him, Wen Desi finally said: "Even the Americans themselves did not expect to achieve such great results"  "However, the United States also suffered a lot of losses this time, and they all retreated back to rest after the war. But with the national strength of the United States, it will definitely recover faster than Japan" The Japanese Navy suffered heavy losses in this defeat.  The six old battleships Fuso, Yamashiro, Ise, Hinata, Hiei, and Kirishima were sunk. The "Four Eagles" (Hitaka, Hayabusa, Otaka, and Cloud Eagle) all fell to their knees. Furutaka, Kako,  The four heavy cruisers Aoba and Kinugasa also became the deep sea fleet.  In addition, two Tenryu-class and one Kuma-class light cruisers were sunk, as well as eight destroyers.  The "Four Cranes" in the aircraft carrier all suffered injuries of varying severity, and the most serious one, the Feihe, almost made it back.  On the contrary, Silong and Sifeng, relying on the terrifying anti-aircraft firepower network, the use of jamming bombs, and their strong character, did not lose a hair.  In addition, three battleships including Nagato, Amagi, and Akagi were severely damaged, and the Musashi was also hit by a pigeon missile on its side. However, this super battleship managed to withstand it with its strong armor. After inspection, it was found that only  A few armor plates were out of place, but basically nothing.    Of course, the United States also suffered huge losses, sinking seven battleships, the USS Washington, USS Colorado, USS California, USS Maryland, USS Nevada, USS New Mexico, and USS Indiana, and sinking a total of three regular aircraft carriers, the USS Wife, USS Sister-in-law, and USS Boxer.  All nine light aircraft carriers were destroyed. In addition, 4 heavy cruisers, 5 light cruisers, 6 destroyers and dozens of transport ships and amphibious ships were sunk for landing. More than 30,000 land troops were drowned.  Countless weapons and supplies were lost.  The remaining battleships and aircraft carriers were all injured. Secondly, judging from the results of this naval battle, Japan won.  But it is a pity that most of this victory belongs to the Japanese Air Force, so the Navy is still disgraced.  And this time the Air Force made quite a splash. In addition to driving away the U.S. Navy, it also rescued Yamashita Fengfumi.  As mentioned before, the Japanese People's Air Force in this plane is a very strange army. They not only have powerful air force, but also powerful ground forces.  Not to mention the paratroopers, there is also a unique branch in the world, which is the "Air Force Special Marines", referred to as the "Air Force Marines".  Note that this is not a paratrooper unit. They can't parachute. To put it bluntly, this is a mechanized land force under the air force's establishment.  The reason why this is so weird is entirely because the Japanese Science and Socialist Party did not trust the army and navy in the early days of the revolution. Kitaki and others believed that there were too many old officers in the army and navy, and they were worried that their good talents would be misled.  So he transferred a group of his cronies and good talents from the army and navy, and added revolutionary young people newly recruited from middle schools, universities and the private sector to form the air force.  Later, the leaders of the Japanese Science and Socialist Party discovered that in addition to necessary personnel such as pilots and ground crews, there were many more, and these people could not remain idle.  It happened that they were also wary of the Army, so they reorganized these people into paratroopers, but there were not so many paratroopers.  A certain boss had an idea and said: The Navy has Marine Corps, why can't the Air Force have one?  ??Okay, so the "Air Force Marine Corps", a unique branch of arms in the world, was established.  Because they are the "sons" of the Japanese Science and Socialist Party, the "Air Force Marines" are also called the "SS".  This army is very fortress, whether it is equipment, training or treatment.  Before the outbreak of World War II, the largest organization of the Marine Corps was the brigade, with a total of eight.  After the outbreak of World War II, Japan intended to attack South Africa and began to expand its military. As its own son, the Air Force Marine Corps was of course a priority. It expanded to 15 brigades, including 4 armored brigades, 5 mechanized infantry brigades, and 5 mechanized infantry brigades.  Motor brigade and 1 mountain brigade.  The ones who made great contributions this time were the 1st Armored Brigade and the 5th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Air Force Marine Corps. With the support of the Air Force aviation, they withstood the successive attacks of the four American divisions that landed in Queenstown.  , which lasted for 5 days, created an opportunity for the Japanese Southern Front to retreat.  If they hadn't arrived in time and held the U.S. troops to death for five days, Yamashita Fengfumi's 250,000 people might have been sacked.  "The Japanese Navy suffered heavy losses this time. All four of their Eagle-class ships were sunk. Feihe and Yunhe will need major repairs, and they won't be repaired in half a year. Xianghe and Ruihe will need at least two months of repairs" Wang Tiechui said seriously.  Said: "Japan is in urgent need of aircraft carriers now" Although the United States suffered a greater loss this time, Japan also suffered a considerable loss, but the industrial power of the two countries is not at the same level at all.  Although Japan in this dimension is much stronger than the original time and space, it is not at the same order of magnitude as the United States.  From the second half of this year to the beginning of next year, the United States will have at least 8 aircraft carriers in service. By the end of next year, the number will be no less than this year, and they will all be regular large aircraft carriers of the Midway class!  However, Japan will not have two Zuilong-class aircraft carriers in service until early next year, which is simply not enough.  As for the four Ruilong-class trains that were started last year and this year, they will have to wait until at least mid-2044 to early 2045 to be completed.  After this battle, no matter how stubborn the Japanese navy is, they can only admit that battleships no longer meet the needs, and the main force in naval battles is aircraft carriers.  But now it¡¯s just a matter of time and again.  Even if it were to refit the battleships and cruisers under construction, it would be too late.  Now is a critical moment. One bad move may lead to a complete comeback. What should Japan do?  So someone proposed to try to purchase active aircraft carriers from China and allies of the People's Revolutionary League, and obtain them directly.  In this way, Japan can acquire multiple aircraft carriers in just a few months, and then before the new US aircraft carrier is launched and the fleet strength has not been restored, Japan will launch a massive attack to stabilize the situation.  "Old Wang, don't you just want to get rid of those Zhou Dynasty-class and Han Dynasty-class ships? It's obvious" Meng Shu said contemptuously from the side.  "Hahaha, aren't I helping my allies" Wang Tiechui's expression remained unchanged.  Xin Jie rolled his eyes at him and mocked: "But Lao Wang, your Zhou Dynasty class can't be sold. The Japanese think the survivability of light aircraft carriers is too low. This naval battle is the worst."Good examples, Japan's 4 Eagle-class ships and the United States' 9 Independence-class ships were all sunk.  So they all have to be at least Han Dynasty level this time.  "That's okay. All six Han Dynasty-class ships will be sold to them" Wen Desi thought for a while and said, "That's not enough. The eight ships in the United States are all Midway-class ships. Let's coordinate with Persia and Siam."  Luo, their three Guangming-class ships are not needed for the time being. They have all been sold to Japan. We will build new ones for them.  In addition, four Liaoning-class ships can also be prepared to be transferred to them"
