The service of the Yingtian aircraft carrier has improved the Ming naval power by a leap. Kunlun no longer has to work hard to take the lead and run across the oceans. Then the exhausted aircraft carrier directly entered the dock for a new round of maintenance. Yingtian took over its South China Sea cruise, or it can also be said to be a strategic deterrent task for the Seventh Fleet of the United States.n∈n∈,.

As for another aircraft carrier of the High Seas Fleet, the USS Krai, which could not use jet carriers, had turned into a pure helicopter aircraft carrier at this time. Sixty cobras and Pixiu helicopters were stuffed into the hangar, and eight A1 day attackers formed a powerful attack capability on the other side.

In addition, the aircraft carrier also obtained two heavyweight partners, two Goryeo-class dock landing ships named after the vassal states, namely Goryeo and Ryukyu. The prototypes of these two dock landing ships are the Whidebe Island class built in the 1980s. The full load displacement is 16,000 tons, and it has a super huge docking bay that can carry four air cushion landing crafts. This latest landing craft can easily transport a Leopard tank, and can also carry an infantry fighting vehicle and a platoon of infantry at the same time.

In addition, it can also carry conventional hard landing crafts, which also have the ability to transport tanks to grab beaches, and the huge flight deck can take off and land Elephant heavy helicopters.

Of course, the downside is that it does not have a hangar, but it is no big deal. This kind of landing ship is accompanied by the Kweichow, and some of the latter are helicopters.

Such a dock landing ship can carry a slightly reduced mechanized infantry battalion. Two such landing ships, coupled with a aircraft-down infantry battalion carried by the Kweichow itself, can basically form a regiment-level combat team to perform three-dimensional landing combat missions.

They cooperated with heavy aircraft carriers to provide air supremacy, giving the Ming Navy the expeditionary strike capabilities of any coastal countries at least in the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific.

If there are also large strategic transport aircraft, then in this area, it will be basically the same as the US military in later generations. And strategic transport aircraft, this is indeed under development.

Yang Feng's first strategic transport aircraft directly aimed at level 17. Of course, because the span is too large, it will definitely not be the same as the real 17. However, the range of a full load of 4,000 kilometers will not change. The maximum load capacity and take-off and landing performance are worse. Anyway, he does not have more than 60 tons of tanks to transport. The Leopard tank only needs a transport aircraft with a load of more than 40 tons.

Just after the Yingtian aircraft carrier was put into service, the head of the Ming Empire immediately announced the construction plan for the new generation of aircraft carriers. This plan shocked the whole world.

Because Head Yang's next generation aircraft carrier is

"Nuclear power, full load displacement is no less than 100,000 tons for five years. Within five years, I will see such an aircraft carrier sailing the ocean, and each ship will be each in the next three years. Within twenty years, I will have the most powerful navy in the world."

At the Yingtian enrollment ceremony, the guy waved his arms like a mustache in the speech.

Everyone in the world who heard this voice was frightened by him.

Brother, we all know that you are crazy, but there is no need to be crazy like this. The 100,000-ton aircraft carrier has now built dozens of heavy aircraft carriers. The Forest-class full-load displacement that is estimated to be up to 80,000 tons per day. If you build an aircraft carrier, the country will build a 100,000 tons, let alone a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Now the first nuclear-powered ship has just been in service. The Nautilus surface displacement is less than 3,000 tons, you have to build a 100,000 tons warship.

Crazy, so crazy.

Perhaps according to some American tabloids, the head of state of mind is not very stable.

"Build it slowly. If it doesn't work for three years, you should build it for five years, if it doesn't work for five years, you should build it for eight years and ten years."

Yang Feng said to his advisers indifferently.

"Head of the People, you are cheating people"

Hu Hao, whose mind had been trained to the point of being as sinister as him, seemed to smell a strange smell, and he asked tentatively.

"How can I say that? I called a big plan, but I didn't do it at all in the end. So this is called cheating people. I really have to do it. This is not called cheating people anymore."

Yang Feng said dissatisfiedly.

I understand that not only Hu Hao, but other military and political officials of the Ming Empire also understood that Head Yang was indeed not cheating people, he was just deliberately provoking an arms race.

When the Ming Dynasty built a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of 100,000 tons, the Americans had to follow up, and they could not build one, at least two to maintain their advantage. Then, the Soviets had to follow up. The Soviets could not build only one, they also needed to face the four enemies of the United States, the Ming Dynasty, Britain and France, and two were already the bottom line. If the Soviets built two, then two Americans were not enough. Four had to continue to maintain their advantage. Everyone was building it, and it was difficult for Britain and Gaul to stay out of it. They also had to build it. The end result was to repeat the dreadnought frenzy before World War I.

But the problem is that these aircraft carriers have been built, but the Ming Dynasty's aircraft carriers are still procrastinating. So how can they solve their threat to the Ming Dynasty?

"What kind of combat is the aircraft carrier, but the carrier-based aircraft must rely on carrier-based aircraft. As long as our carrier-based aircraft has enough advantages, it's fine.

Your head of state is not crazy. I do want to build such an aircraft carrier, but it is not built within five years. In fact, I am very satisfied with it if I plan to build it in ten years. I just need to invest a few dollars in a year. As for other countries, it is their own business and has nothing to do with us. In the past ten years, we will just use the Kunlun, Yingtian and Shuntian aircraft carriers to make do with it.

But on carrier-based aircraft, we must use the best ones to make up for the quantity advantages with quality advantages. In two or three years, ghosts will be able to be put into service. It is okay to maintain the advantage of this kind of fighter and tiger shark for ten years. Moreover, our second-generation anti-ship missile is almost time to be put into service at the same time. This kind of thing is the master of future naval warfare.

But our opponents have devoted their efforts to build aircraft carriers that are far more than ours. Carrier-based aircraft cannot beat us, attack aircraft cannot break through our ship-to-air missile interception, and bombs cannot be thrown on our heads. On the contrary, our anti-ship missiles can easily beat them tens or hundreds of kilometers away. In this way, even if our aircraft carrier is smaller, what's the big deal if our carrier is smaller?

What's more, we are not the United States and the Soviet Union, and we don't need to compete for global hegemony. As long as we keep our own territory, it's okay. In this way, we can ignite the fire and watch the fun on the side, isn't it great?

Yang Feng said.

Well, he used this super aircraft carrier to fool the Americans, of course it was not just the United States. In short, he dug a big hole. Whoever likes to jump, the main goal is the United States.

Even if it is a heavy burden for countries like the United States, the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is built. After the Enterprise was built, the Americans then rebuilt the Kitty Hawk-class. This is because Tama is too expensive, and each one is almost as expensive as three conventional aircraft carriers of the same tonnage. It hurts the US Congress to pay for it, but this time they have to build it.

Vietnam War, Space Plan, Nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, Strategic nuclear submarine, Missile

He didn't believe that the United States was powerful enough to deal with all this at the same time.

If you don’t have the chance, you will also throw out the Star Wars plan. Soon the Soviets’ intercontinental missiles can be built. At that time, the Star Wars plan will be thrown out. The laser and missile interception system will be used to create all the things that the Americans fooled the Soviet Union back then. If necessary, a successful interception test will be conducted publicly as bait, so that the Americans will not jump into this pit.

In this way, they kept digging holes, forcing them, and seducing them, and in short, they kept jumping and consuming the national strength of the United States. At the same time, they were economically pulling European countries together, constantly eroding the US market and bankrupting American companies, just like what he has been doing over the years.

He didn't believe that he wouldn't let the American blood go.

Of course, his men still couldn't understand the foresight of the head of state. Anyway, since the head of state was not crazy, the people under him were all smart people and very clear-headed. Such aircraft carriers had exceeded the military needs of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, in their opinion, it was reasonable for Chief Yang to maintain the standards for three conventional aircraft carriers. The Ming Dynasty did not need global hegemony, with a population of 30 million, and even if it was added to other countries in Southeast Asia, it would not exceed 50 million. Such a country would be completely crazy to seek global hegemony.

Southeast Asia is enough.

This has actually been achieved. Even the Americans here have to retreat in the face of the Ming Dynasty's military force. The next step is to control. The Ming military bases spread across various countries are enough to do this. There are three conventional-powered aircraft carriers that also have attack capabilities across the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans.

It can be said that the strategic layout is already perfect.

A nuclear-powered super aircraft carrier is purely redundant in this strategic system and will become a burden to the country. Whether it is to build or feed such an aircraft carrier, the funds required are amazing. In fact, the military expenditure of the Ming Empire currently accounts for more than the United States in GDP. However, because Chief Yang often pays for subsidies on other, especially the welfare of the people, ordinary people cannot feel it at all, but these senior officials are very clear about it.

But if we follow the real goal of Head Yang, there will be no problem. Ten years later, the Kunlun has been in service for more than fifteen years, and it will be replaced by this aircraft carrier. The Ming Navy will eventually be a three-carrier fleet. As for future construction, it will be gradually replaced by Yingtian and Shuntian. For the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, such a plan is completely within the capacity, and in terms of the strategic needs of the Ming Dynasty, such a plan is also completely necessary. To be continued.
