On August 9, the Allied Team had advanced 11 kilometers deep into the German defense. In the two days of battle, the German army suffered 28,000 casualties and lost more than 900 artillery pieces.

On August 10, all the French 1st Army Group Army entered the war. The next day, part of the 3rd Army Group also entered the war. However, due to the serious losses of tanks and the slow progress, it gradually turned into local combat.

By the end of August 13, the British, French and American troops advanced 10-18 kilometers on the 75-kilometer front, completing the established task, causing the German army to suffer heavy damage.

At this point, the Allies avenged the defeat of the Fourth Battle of the Somme. Although the large-scale use of tanks allowed the Allies to break through the German defense line, the quality of the German tanks was too good. The Allies' tanks had to win by quantity, but the problem of large-scale production was still difficult to solve. The tanks that had been saved for several months were basically reimbursed in one battle. When the next batch of tanks came out, they had to wait for a few months.

Although the United States has begun to produce tanks from Britain and France on a large scale, it takes a lot of time to transfer to the inland from the United States and then transport it to the coast of Europe.

What's more, the US Navy's poor anti-crack combat capability is really not satisfactory. Faced with the continuous harassment of the German high seas fleet, although the Allies' damage to ships has been reduced, it has not fundamentally stopped the German Navy's destruction of war. Because the German Navy's advanced submarines produced from the Chinese Empire were very advanced, it is difficult for the US Navy's anti-submarine destroyers to destroy it, which makes the Allies' anti-crack combat prospects worry.

After entering the Atlantic Ocean, the main fleet of the US Navy was reluctant to fight the main fleet of the German Navy for a long time. Perhaps because of fear of being defeated by the German High Seas Fleet. Once the United States loses the main fleet, it will undoubtedly lose the war. Therefore, the US Navy is very careful and only maintains the current balance of the US and German navy and does not want to break it easily, because the US Navy has no certainty to win.

On the other hand, the Supreme Command of the United States found that the economy of the Allies was facing collapse. As long as this situation was maintained, the Allies would be defeated by the war of attrition. Therefore, the United States chose conservative and stable tactics to fight for consumption with Germany. At the same time, in order to make more war money, as long as it continues to consume, the Allies would have to import a large amount of materials from the United States. Of course, for the United States, although they are of the same origin as Britain, Britain was the world's financial center before the war, and if the United States wanted to rise, it would naturally consider weakening Britain.

Of course, there is another hidden factor, that is, the United States does not want to fight against Germany and hopes to preserve its strength, because the United States has a greater threat from the Chinese Empire on the West Coast of the Pacific.

The US Navy has never dared to fight Germany with all its might, and the biggest concern comes from the threat from the Imperial Navy of China. Although China and the United States have signed a non-aggressive treaty of Hawaii, this does not mean that the US Navy is relieved.

Since the Chinese Empire built Ming-class battleships equipped with old inch guns in the 13th year of Guanghua, the US Navy has used the final funds of six South Dakota-class battleships to sneakily start building North Carolina-class battleships equipped with 17-inch guns, speed of 26 knots and displacement of 50,000 tons. Later, Woodrow convinced the US Congress that one year after the first ships of the USS North Carolina and Maine battleships started construction, the USS Missouri and the USS 4. By the 16th year of Guanghua, all four North Carolina-class battleships were completed and served in the US Navy.

While building North Carolina-class battleships, the U.S. Navy continues to build battlecruisers equipped with inch main guns.

Based on the North Carolina-class battleship, the US Navy started construction of four Frankfurt-class battlecruisers in 1914, namely Frankfurt, Honolulu, St. Paul and Helena. In addition to the traditional battlecruisers named after the state capital of the United States, the US Navy deliberately added the Honolulu, indicating that the United States regards Hawaii as a US territory. Although the US Congress has not listed it as a state of the United States on the issue of Hawaii, and the Chinese Empire also refused to recognize the incorporation into the US territory on the issue of Hawaii, the importance of Hawaii is unspeakable. After Japan was defeated by the Chinese Empire, Hawaii has become the forefront of the United States to block the Chinese Empire, and its strategic position is extremely important. Therefore, the US Navy named Honolulu as the No. 2 of the Frankfurt-class battlecruiser, with the purpose of making the Americans understand the importance of Honolulu.

On the basis of North Carolina-class battlecruisers, four Frankfurt-class battlecruisers lowered their armor protection standards, reduced their North Carolina-class 380mm armor to 240mm, and added 4 oil-fired boilers to make their maximum speed reach 30 knots.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the Frankfurt-class battlecruiser of the US Navy surpassed any of the British and German battlecruisers. In terms of main gun fire, it surpassed the last Sui-class battlecruiser of the Chinese Empire. Its armor was 240 mm like the Sui-class battlecruiser. However, in terms of speed, the battlecruiser of the US Navy was far behind the Chinese Empire in steam turbines and still used direct transmission steam turbine drive technology. The Sui-class battlecruiser built in the Chinese Empire in one year has already begun to use gear transmission technology. Therefore, compared with the 34-sheep ultra-high speed of the Sui-class battlecruiser, the Frankfurt-class battlecruiser of the US Navy is still 4 knots behind.

The Chinese Empire Navy concealed the true speed of the Sui-class battlecruiser, causing the US Navy's intelligence department to believe that the Chinese Empire's Sui-class battlecruiser was only 29 knots, so it was always complacent.

Since the Chinese Empire has built Ming-class battleships for 18-inch giant cannons, it has always had no substantial response to the United States' construction of super-divine bow-type battleships and battle cruisers equipped with 17-inch giant cannons, and only expressed concern, which makes the US Navy not have to worry about pressure from the Chinese Empire.

However, since the last decade of the 19th century, the US Navy has been ambitiously aspiring to ascend to the position of the world's number one naval power. Now the Chinese Empire is sitting on the throne of the world's number one naval power, which makes the US Navy hawks very unwilling to accept it.

After owning eight super-divine bow-type battleships equipped with inch main guns, the US Navy has already taken the second place in the world's navy, but in order to catch up and surpass the Chinese Navy, the US Navy continued to expand.

In the fiscal year of Guanghua 16th (1916), the US Congressmen once again remembered the pain of the old scars. The Panama region fell into the hands of the Chinese Empire, and the Panama Canal was under the control of the Chinese Empire. These were all lingering pains of the US government.

During the Spanish-American War, the three-month voyage of the US Navy from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea caused the US government to complain that it affected the war against Spain (which could have started two months in advance). For this reason, the United States stepped up its battle for the Panama Canal, hoping to take it in its hands so that the U.S. navies both oceans can support each other at any time. But all this was ruined by the sudden intervention of the Chinese Empire. The United States once forgot about Panama. However, as the United States participated in World War I, the Chinese Empire refused to develop the Panama Canal to the US Pacific Fleet, which forced the U.S. Pacific Fleet to bypass Cape Horn again and return to the Atlantic Ocean. This delayed the time for the U.S. Navy to participate in the war against the German Navy, causing the Allies to be destroyed by the German Navy and suffered heavy losses.

The United States once again remembered the pain of the Panama Canal, which led to the U.S. Congress finally approving a new round of naval expansion bill for the hawks of the U.S. Navy to continue to use the Imperial Chinese Navy as a hostile force to vigorously develop the U.S. Navy.

At this time, the US Navy still firmly believed in giant ships and cannonism. Although the Jutland Naval Battle indicated that threats from the air would become a huge threat to the future naval main fleet, the results of the Sino-Japanese Eastern Ocean Navy also showed the importance of the aircraft carrier battle group. The US Navy was once divided into two factions, like the Chinese Empire Navy. Regarding whether to build main battleships and battle cruisers on a large scale, or to build aircraft carrier battle groups, the BB and CV parties within the US Navy were once red in debate.

But the navy of the whole world is staring at the Imperial Navy, because the Imperial Navy is the world's number one navy, so as long as the Imperial Navy abandons giant ship artillery and chooses aircraft carriers to fight flat noses, all countries will follow. The same is true for the US Navy, and all developments are staring at the Imperial Navy to align with the Imperial Navy.

But the BB Party within the Navy of the Imperial China defeated the CV Party. The Chinese Empire continued to use giant ships and cannonism as the navy's development direction, which greatly misled the navies of countries around the world, and the US Navy was no exception. In the end, the BB Party forces of the US Navy had an absolute advantage. The US Navy continued to fully develop its main battleships and battle cruisers, and aircraft carriers were only used as supporting roles.

For these reasons, the U.S. Congress finally approved the 8th Navy Expansion Act of 1916 submitted by the U.S. Navy, which is also the largest appropriation budget, with a total of 4B US dollars, and is repaid with war bonds. A total of eight super-divine bow-type battleships equipped with old inch cannons, including four Iowa-class battleships, namely the No. 1 Iowa [bb-59] and the No. 2 Hawaii [bb-60]

】, the third ship Alaska [bb-61] and the fourth ship Utah [bb-62], as well as four Olympia-class battlecruisers (Olympia, Boston, Columbia and Austin), and five enterprise-class aircraft carriers (Enterprise cv-6, Hornet cv-7, Hornet cv-8, Essex cv-

9 and York City cv-10), as well as 40 light cruisers, 200 destroyers and 200 submarines.

In order to keep it confidential, the US Congress entrusted the huge sum of money as a military aid plan for Europe, and promoted it to the outside world to build warships for the Allied Navy to deal with the threat from the German Navy.

In order to fight against the Ming-class super battleships of the Chinese Empire, although the US Navy officially started construction of four Iowa-class battleships in the summer of 1916, three and a half years later than the Ming-class battleships of the Chinese Empire. The whole world thought that the US Navy would no longer engage in a large-scale naval arms race with the Chinese Empire Navy, but it was unknown that the US Navy had never given up. It was just that the US Navy wanted to build the Iowa-class battleship three years ago, because the 18-inch main gun and various technical problems could not be solved, and it was impossible to introduce technology from the UK, because the British Navy gave up the development of immature 17-inch and 18-inch large-caliber naval guns for the sake of war. The Chinese Empire strictly controlled the export of equipment and technology to the United States, which made the US Navy unable to build super battleships at that time and had to take the initiative to show weakness to the Chinese Empire.

However, as the European war continued, the competition between the British and German naval forces was still fierce for more than two years, and neither country had a decisive battle between the main ships, which made both the British and German navies hope to break the maritime balance. They believed that only by developing the main ships equipped with 17-inch and 18-inch cannons could the balance be broken.

The German Navy first obtained the export order for inch naval guns from the Chinese Empire. Therefore, the German Navy started construction of five William-class battleships (William II, Frederick III, William-class, Carl-class, and Barbarossa) in the summer of 1914. 95% of the technology and equipment of the William-class battleships came from the Chinese Empire, which was basically a replica of the Chinese Empire's Yuan-class battleships. The Chinese Empire Emperor Chen Hao did not want the German Navy to be defeated in the Battle of Jutland from the beginning, so he hoped that the German Navy defeated the British Navy. With Wang Chenhao's acquiesce, the German Navy obtained all the technical parameters of the Chinese Empire's Yuan-class battleship for the first time and started construction in domestic shipyards. At this time, Germany's resources were consumed in the war, so he had to import the materials and equipment for the construction of the William-class battleships from the Chinese Empire.

The German Navy originally planned to complete the domestic assembly project of the William Great-class battleship as soon as possible to fight the British Navy's blockade. However, the cost of the five William Great-class battleships was too high. The import of related equipment from the Chinese Empire alone reached 55 million dragon coins (the Chinese Empire Yuan-class battleship was built only 49 million dragon coins). In addition, the assembly cost of Germany's domestic assembly cost was the final price of a William Great-class battleship approached 60 million dragon coins. After two years of war, the German finance was on the verge of collapse, and the depreciation speed of Mark accelerated the workers.

The William Great-class battleship, which was originally planned to be completed in 16 months, was just launched in the summer of 1916, and its service time was still far from its destination. At the same time, the German Navy won the Battle of Jutland, and the British Navy's main fleet lost half of its battleship (a third of the subsequent bombing of the port) A Jutland Battle made the German Navy win, but the expenditure of ammunition, personnel losses, hull maintenance and other expenses reached 2 billion marks, and the German government, which was short of financial difficulties, decided to slow down the construction of the William Great-class battleship.

Similarly, the British intelligence agencies learned that the German Navy had obtained technical and equipment support from the Yuan-class Hong Ship from the Chinese Empire. In order to continue blocking the German Navy and prevent the German Navy from leaving the North Sea to enter the Atlantic Ocean, Britain also immediately launched the Nelson-class super battleship carrying 17-inch cannon after nine Revenge-class battleships were completed.

The design target of the British Nelson-class super battleship was aimed at the William-class battleship under construction by the German Navy. Considering that the William-class battleship was closely related to the Yuan-class battleships of the Chinese Empire, the British Navy directly designed and built the Yuan-class battleships as its opponent.

Starting from August 1914, the British Navy designed the Nelson-class battleship and immediately launched the construction. The Nelson-class battleship took the Chinese Empire Yuan-class battleship as its opponent and drained 5150

0 Tun, the main gun is four double-mounted eight 45-diameter 432mm mk37 guns, one less than the three triple-mounted 9 45-diameter 432mm m12 guns of the Yuan-class battleship of the Chinese Empire. The design idea of ​​the British main ship that has not changed for thousands of years makes the armor protection of the Nelson-class battleship only strong millimeters, and the field millimeters less than the Yuan-class battleship of the Chinese Empire.

At the same time, compared with the comprehensive welding method of the Yuan-class battleships of the Chinese Empire, the British Navy could only use the * connection method due to tight finances, and its ability to resist strikes was weaker. It used old high-pressure boilers and three imitation Parsons steam turbine systems, which were not as good as the gear impulse counter-impact steam turbine units of the Yuan-class battleships. The maximum speed was only 29 knots, one knot less than the Yuan-class. Moreover, during long-term combat speeds, Nelson was able to maintain a high speed of 29 knots for 8 hours, a full 10 hours less than the Yuan-class.

In terms of electronic equipment, the radio system of Nelson-class battleships, central fire control system,

Although the observation system has reached the standard of Yuan-class battleships, it does not have an underwater sonar array and has weak anti-submarine capabilities. Once it encounters the promotion and Tang-class submarines of the Chinese Empire, it will be extremely threatened.

Since Britain was already a wartime mechanism at this time, the construction of the Nelson-class battleship was very fast, and the original plan was to be completed in the old month. However, the situation in Britain was even worse than that of Germany. Germany's submarine warfare seriously damaged Britain's maritime trade within two years and caused heavy damage to the British economy. After the Battle of Jutland, only one-third of the main fleet of the British navy remained, and the main force of the German navy entered the Atlantic, causing greater losses to Britain. Half a year before the arrival of the US Navy, the British economy was almost dead. In this case, the British Navy's shortage of shipbuilding materials and the skyrocketing prices, resulting in the Nelson-class battleships being the same as the German William the Great-class battleships. It was not until the fall of 1916 that the main gun installation and final service time became far away.

However, the UK has successfully developed a 17-inch cannon. When the US aid arrived in the UK and Europe, the US Navy successfully developed the British Armstrong Company through material exchanges 17

The technology and equipment of the 45-caliber mk37 naval gun were introduced to the United States and installed on the North Carolina-class battle onto the ship. At the same time, in order to get out of the predicament, Armstrong had to cooperate with the US Navy to jointly develop the 18-caliber mk39 giant gun with 45-caliber mk39 to be installed on the Iowa-class battleship of the US Navy.

In this way, the US Navy obtained the research and development results of the old inch gun from Holmes, an artillery expert at Armstrong. It began trial production in August 1916, and planned to complete the test work in March 1917 and produce eight main guns in August 1917, so as not to delay the installation of the main guns of the Iowa-class battleship planned to be launched in late July 1917.

The Iowa-class battleship was designed and installed with four dual-mounted 8 45-diameter mk47 naval guns (US naval gun models), which were the same as the number, caliber and diameter of the main guns of the Ming-class battleships of the Chinese Empire. However, in terms of gun barrel life, although the British and American steel technology at this time had begun to imitate the Chinese special steel of the Chinese Empire, the effect was not significantly improved.

The secondary gun uses a mk12 type 38 times the caliber 10-seat dual-equipped 127mm caliber high-level dual-purpose gun, and the turret is arranged on both sides of the middle of the hull. At the same time, a large number of small-caliber rapid-fire guns are also installed, most of which are dual-equipped and triple-equipped parallel machine guns.

The US Navy's idea is to use the secondary gun system to prevent air defense, but this level of anti-aircraft guns is difficult to defend against the early Cat Demon fighters of the Chinese Empire, not to mention the Thunderbolt fighters and Hellfire fighters that the Chinese Empire already owned, their speed is enough to break through the air defense fire network of the Iowa-class battleship.

In terms of armor protection, the overall protection design of Iowa-class is much improved compared to the North Carolina-class battleship. The main armor belt on the side of the side is spliced ​​into one, with a thickness of 380 mm (19

The total thickness of horizontal armor is 222 mm (three layers). It combines multiple watertight compartments and three-layer bottom to form an underwater anti-torpedo system. During the construction process, the horizontal armor defense capability is particularly enhanced. The front of the main turret is 460 mm, the top of the main turret is 184 mm, the back of the main turret is 241 mm, the front of the commander tower is 460 mm, and the top of the commander tower is 184 mm.

The armor protection of the US Navy's main battleship is always lower than that of the same-class battleships in other countries. It seems to be infected by the British Navy's attention to speed and underestimation of armor, and it is deeply infected.

The thickness of 380 mm is very difficult to resist in the face of the bombardment of old inch guns. However, the U.S. Navy believes that the Jutland Navy shows that the probability of being hit by a giant cannon shell when fighting at a distance of 20 kilometers is very small. But they forgot the most important one, that is, the Iowa-class battleship built by the U.S. Navy is used to fight against the Ming-class battleships of the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Empire Navy is far beyond the U.S. Navy. The main gun of the Ming-class battleship can achieve an 8% hit rate at a distance of 25 kilometers, while the U.S. Navy's current experience is still at 10% hit rate of 6,000 meters during the Spanish-American War. Long-range artillery has no practical experience. The North Carolina-class battleships under training have a hit rate of 20%.

There is only 1.5% in the kilometer, and the gap is very obvious.

Moreover, the US Navy's concept of protection for battleships was inconsistent. According to the armor of the Iowa-class battleships, it must be able to block the penetration hits of battleships of the same caliber from the old kilometers away. Obviously, the armor of the Iowa-class battleships cannot block the penetration hits of the old inch shells from a kilometers away. Faced with the attack of the low-primary heavy warhead delayed armor-piercing blasting bombs of the Chinese Empire, it is difficult to prevent them from a distance of 20 kilometers.

Conversely, the armor thickness of the Ming-class battleship of the Imperial Navy reached 450 mm, which can effectively block the penetration of 18-inch shells attacked 15 kilometers away. In contrast, once the Iowa-class battleship encounters the Ming-class battleship of the Iowa-class battleship, although the number of artillery on both sides is the same, the one who suffers from the battle will definitely be the Iowa battleship.

In terms of speed, the design speed of the Iowa-class Hong Ship is only very different from the navigation of the Ming-class battleships of the Chinese Empire.

Of course, the main reason for this gap is that the US shipyards do not have 80,000-ton ships, and can only build 60,000-ton warships at most. Although the US shipyards responsible for building Iowa-class battleships quickly upgraded the tonnage of ships, they could only build 65,000-ton ships in the end. In this way, the displacement of 88,000 tons from the Ming-class battleships of the Chinese Empire must be 20,000 tons, which is naturally restricted and is inevitably far behind in all aspects.

In electronic warfare, the Iowa-class battleship is even worse because it does not have the lightning array and sonar array of Ming-class battleships, which rely entirely on a catapult installed on both sides, carrying three water observation aircraft. Obviously, if the Iowa-class and Ming-class battleships chase each other during the day and sunny days, the Iowa-class will become blind and only get beaten.

Of course, the parameters of the Ming-class battleship of the Chinese Empire are strictly confidential, and the US Navy can only judge by the official reports of the Chinese Empire. Therefore, the design standards of the Iowa-class battleship exceed the Ming-class battleship standards officially announced by the Chinese Empire. The American citizens are still very excited. They do not follow the Ming-class battleship shell of the Chinese Empire. All Americans believe that the Iowa-class battleship is the world's strongest battleship.

Similarly, under the influence of giant ship artillery, the US Navy started construction of the Iowa-class super battleship while starting construction of the Iowa-class battleship and improved battle cruisers based on the Iowa-class battleship.

Four Olympia-class battlecruisers are equipped with 18-inch cannons, with four double-mounted turrets in front and two rear, with a symmetrical layout. In addition to the armor thickness being reduced to 280 mm, the biggest difference is that there are two more chimneys (3 chimneys of Iowa-class). At the same time, the Song-class, Yuan-class and Ming-class battleships of the Iowa-class Navy have been changed to a compact oval chimney.

In order to reduce the armor of 100 mm thick, the Olympia-class battlecruiser added 6 boilers, so that it can last for 12 hours and maintain a high speed of 33 knots. This speed undoubtedly exceeds the British multi-level battlecruiser, but it is still one knot slower than the Sui-class battlecruiser of the Chinese Empire and is not as long as the other party.

Although the U.S. Navy's Iowa-class battleships and Olympia-class battlecruisers lag behind the Ming-class battleships of the Chinese Empire in terms of overall combat performance, especially the Olympia-class battleships, are even more useless in front of Ming-class battleships. If the armor less than 300 mm is hit by the artillery fire of Ming-class battleships, it will be disastrous.

Although the US Navy attaches importance to giant ship artillery and vigorously builds a fleet of super battleships. However, because the US Navy has always been comparing with the Chinese Empire's Navy, although it is not clear about the true intention and strategic purpose of the Chinese Empire to build and modify aircraft carriers in large quantities, it has also actively followed suit. While the US Congress approved the construction of super battleships, an enterprise-class aircraft carrier representing the first-class self-built aircraft carrier in the United States came to light.

The enterprise-class aircraft carrier is the first self-built aircraft carrier designed by the US Sea to imitate the Danxiashan-class aircraft carrier of the Chinese Empire.

Enterprise-class aircraft carriers, which the US Navy actually still calls carrier cruisers, can be seen that the US Navy still has not discovered the true meaning of aircraft carriers.

As the first-class self-built aircraft carrier in the United States, the enterprise class fully absorbed the experience of five previous US Navy modified aircraft carriers. This class of aircraft carriers imitated the direct deck design of the Danxiashan-class aircraft carrier of the Imperial Navy. It adopts an open hangar and has 3 elevators. The front end of the flight deck is equipped with catapults. In an emergency, the carrier-based aircraft can directly eject from the hangar through the catapult set in the hangar (but this impractical function was later cancelled), highlighting the attack capability of the carrier-based aircraft. Two sets of interception cables are installed in the flight deck, and the aircraft can land at either end of the flight deck.

The wooden flight deck is without armor protection, and the island superstructure with integrated bridges, masts and chimneys is located on the starboard side. Compared with the previously built "Striker", the enterprise-level class increases the hull and speed, while strengthening horizontal and underwater protection.

However, this class of ships has weak armor and the hull below the waterline has a considerable degree of defect in the protection ability of torpedoes. However, for the US Navy, although they did not realize the real role of the aircraft carrier, they also developed aircraft carriers by accident, so that they would not lag too much behind the Chinese Empire in terms of aircraft carriers in the future.

The standard displacement of enterprise-class aircraft carriers is only 19,900 tons, and the full load displacement does not exceed 25,600 tons, but the ship is very long, reaching a length of more than the Danxiashan aircraft carrier of the Imperial Navy. The GC-Mi is 40 meters longer than the most advanced Emeishan aircraft carrier in the Imperial Empire. The main reason for this is that the US Navy's concept of aircraft carriers is vague. From their continued call to aircraft carrier cruisers, it can be seen that in addition to combat requirements, enterprise-class aircraft carriers are mainly used to transport aircraft, which is also inseparable from the United States participating in the nose war, because the US Navy's aircraft carriers are more transported to Europe, Britain, France and Italy.

Of course, enterprise-class aircraft carriers use straight-through decks, with small hangar capacity and small number, and the aircraft wings cannot be folded. Therefore, in order to ensure that 90 fighter jets can be carried, the deck can only be greatly extended. This also makes enterprise-class aircraft carriers the longest warship in the world. Since the tonnage is only 20,000 tons, the slender hull can increase the speed but is too airworthy. The US Navy believes that aircraft carrier-based aircraft cannot fight on rainy days, so it does not consider the harsh sea conditions.

In actual combat, how can it be sunny? There will be wars even on rainy days. Because the US Navy has no experience, it has not considered that enterprise-class aircraft carriers will participate in the war one day.

In terms of power systems, enterprise-class aircraft carriers use 9-seat boilers and 4-seat 10,000 kilowatt steam turbines, 2

The 200-kilowatt diesel turbine is propelled 4 axis, with a maximum speed of 30 knots, and a range of 12,000 sea-burning/15 knots.

In terms of weapons and equipment, due to the lack of attention of aircraft carriers by the US Navy, it did not provide aircraft carrier battle groups with air defense cruisers, heavy cruisers, light cruisers, hunting ships and other ships to the Imperial Navy for aircraft carriers. Therefore, the US Navy's aircraft carriers have to rely on their own strength to defend themselves. They are equipped with 8 single-mounted 38-diameter 127mm high-level dual-purpose artillery, 4 4-joint 25mm 75-diameter anti-aircraft guns, and 24 point 50 mk4 Celingen heavy machine guns. This heavy machine gun is the American version of the Chinese Empire's m2 Browning heavy machine gun. Because the Zelingen family is a royal relative of the Chinese Empire, weapons and equipment that other American arms companies cannot obtain can be obtained in the arsenal of the Zelingen family.

For American aircraft carriers, they are still only at the level of carrier cruisers.

Because all aircraft carriers of the U.S. Navy do not have carrier-based combat aircraft, all of them are land-based combat aircraft.

In addition, the aircraft carriers of the US Navy are basically all combat aircraft models of Britain, France and Italy, including British camel fighter jets, France and Nieuont17 aircraft. In order to support the Allied Air Force, the US side introduced a series of main combat aircraft models and production lines of the Allied to the United States for production. With the strong industrial capabilities of the United States, it produced large quantities of combat aircraft to support the Allied air combat. However, because the number of aircraft carriers is small and the capacity of transport aircraft is poor, it is only possible to provide the Allied with 1,100 combat aircraft every three months.

The number of air combat consumption of the Allied countries has just reached.

However, the US Air Force was not willing to lag behind the Imperial Chinese Air Force. After learning that the aircraft they imported from the Allies were basically foreign trade aircraft with reduced performance or counterfeit goods from the Imperial Chinese Empire. Through research on aircraft supplied to Europe by the Imperial Chinese Empire, the US Air Force found that the strength of the Imperial Chinese in the aviation field was unquestionable. In order to compete with the Imperial Chinese Air Force, the US Air Force began to vigorously develop American domestic aircraft based on the Allies aircraft, striving to catch up with the Imperial Chinese in the aviation field.

The US Air Force Committee encourages private aircraft manufacturing companies to vigorously imitate the Chinese Empire aircraft and develop local aircraft. The representative ones include Bell Company's mouth 3 and Curtis Company's n.

5. F2a of Brewster, F2a of Grumman, and other combat aircraft.

Among them, Bell's P-3 fighter is a perfect copycat product. Its copycat performance basically reaches the cat demon fighter of the Chinese Empire. The Allies quickly placed a large number of orders and purchased a large number of P-3 fighters to deal with the Chinese Empire cat demon fighter of the Chinese Empire served in the Luftwaffe.

In addition, the independent intellectual property rights of Brewster's F2A fighter jets are owned in the United States.

Before the war, Brewster was a car company. After the outbreak of World War I, it targeted the fighter market and developed the first f1 fighter. The f1 was a biplane. Just after the test of Lou Gong, the Chinese Empire's Cat Demon monoplane appeared on the European battlefield. Neither biplane nor triplane was a rival, so Brewster began to study monoplane.

Before the United States participated in the war, the Chinese Empire snatched the share of aircraft in the European market, especially the aviation field. In addition, the American aircraft carrier cruisers were unwilling to take risks in Europe, so the aircraft was not produced and transported to Europe. In this case, Brewster finally completed the final development and test flight of the F2A fighter in the summer of 1916.

The f2a is a mid-single wing design, with a round body, a hardwood shell design, and a control surface is made of cloth skin. It uses a fixed landing gear. The power is a Wright r-620-2 cyclone-cooled engine with an output of 130 horsepower and a speed of 125 kilometers per hour. It is equipped with a heavy machine gun with a mm caliber, and can carry two 100-pound bombs under the belly of the machine.

In terms of comprehensive performance, the f2a fighter is very close to the j4 cat demon fighter of the Chinese Empire. The difference is only in terms of aerodynamic layout and handling. The aircraft is driving a car steering wheel, which is far inferior to the cat demon fighter of the Chinese Empire in terms of flight stability. The steering wheel needs to be held vigorously, and a little relaxation will cause the plane to swirl in the air. Therefore, the pilot is very tired after flying the d2a fighter for 2 hours and cannot continue to have a high-intensity air. In this regard, although the cat demon fighter of the Chinese Empire has not solved the problem of flight stability, it is still fine to fly the plane for 6 hours a day.
To be continued...
