The end of the military era

Falcon fighters belonging to the fourth-generation fighters are relatively expensive to build. The cost of each Falcon fighter is about 400 million silver coins, and 200 billion silver coins are enough to build 5000 Falcon fighters.

Chapter 327 The Transformation of Modernization

Huang Zhigang, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empire, heard that Zhou Rui had increased the military expenditure of 200 billion silver coins to the Air Force, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the military expenditure of the Royal Air Force this year is actually enough, but several aircraft manufacturers have to manufacture The navy's carrier-based fighter jets, so now only more than 300 Falcon fighter jets can be delivered to our Royal Air Force every month.

Of course, with the extra 200 billion silver coins allocated by His Majesty, several aircraft manufacturers can increase the quota of our Royal Air Force in the future, and the speed at which our Royal Air Force can equip fourth-generation fighter jets can be greatly accelerated. "

As soon as Huang Zhigang finished speaking, Wang Kui, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empire, said, "Your Majesty, you can't make any decisions about the quota of our Royal Navy.

Now our Royal Navy's fourth-generation carrier-based fighters have just completed half of the refit, and there are still many third-generation carrier-based fighters on aircraft carriers that need to be replaced with fourth-generation carrier-based fighters. "

Song Limin, the former commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empire, has retired and went home to take care of his life. After Song Limin retired, Zhou Rui promoted Wang Kui to take over the post of commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empire. Wang Kui's rank was also promoted to Marshal .

When Wang Kui was young, he was called the one-armed marshal because his left arm was blown off in the Shark Island naval battle.

In the past ten years, Zhou Rui has only opened two aircraft carriers from the lottery system, namely the US Forrest-class aircraft carrier and the US Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier.

However, the 66 US Forrest-class aircraft carriers originally equipped by the Imperial Navy of the Han and Tang Dynasties have already been decommissioned, just like the US Midway-class aircraft carriers, the US Essex-class aircraft carriers, the Dongying Guoxianghe-class aircraft carriers, and the Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers.

Among them, except for 15 American Essex-class aircraft carriers and 11 Dongying Guoxianghe-class aircraft carriers that have been scrapped and dismantled, the remaining decommissioned aircraft carriers have been sealed up.

Although the 66 U.S. Forrest-class aircraft carriers were sealed up, they have undergone a transformation and upgrade after being sealed up. In addition, they will be maintained every year. Once the war breaks out, these 66 U.S. Forrest-class aircraft carriers can be re-serviced immediately.

Currently, there are 108 American Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers in active service in the Imperial Navy of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

美国小鹰级航空母舰，满载排水量84914吨，最高航速32节，配备有20架f-14雄猫战斗机、24架f-18大黄蜂战斗机、16架攻击机、4架预警机、4架电子战机、6架反潜机、6架反潜直升机和2架救援直升机。

Equipped with 3 eight-unit anti-aircraft missile launchers, semi-active radar guidance, 3 6-tube 20mm rapid-fire guns, air search radars, sea search radars, fire control radars, jamming rocket launchers, and surface ship torpedoes Defense systems, missile control systems and many other ship electrical systems.

In addition to the 108 American Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Dynasties currently has 60 Qingtian-class, 30 Island-class and 343 Jumbo-class aircraft carriers.

The 30 Island-class ships and 343 Jumbo-class ships have all been modernized and refitted, adding a large number of ship electrical systems and missile devices. After the power systems of these two aircraft carriers have been modified, the maximum speed can reach 32 knots.

The Qingtian-class aircraft carrier is another aircraft carrier built by the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Dynasties after the war. It has a full-load displacement of 488 million tons and a maximum speed of 32 knots. It is equipped with a large number of ship-electric systems and missile devices, and has 12 catapults. It can take off 12 carrier-based fighters at the same time.

At present, most of the carrier-based fighters equipped by the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empire are the imitation f-14 Tomcat fighter and the imitation f-18 Hornet fighter. In the sequence, it was directly called the Tomcat fighter and the Hornet fighter.

擎天级航空母舰，一共配备了150架雄猫战斗机、150架大黄蜂战斗机、10架预警机、10架电子战机、24架反潜直升机和12架救援直升机。

岛屿级航空母舰，改造之后，满载排水量增加到了339万吨，配备有120架雄猫战斗机、120架大黄蜂战斗机、8架预警机、8架电子战机、18架反潜直升机和8架救援直升机。

巨无霸级航空母舰，改造之后，满载排水量增加到136万吨，配备有48架雄猫战斗机、48架大黄蜂战斗机、4架预警机、4架电子战机、10架反潜直升机和4架救援直升机。

Zhou Rui then turned to Minister of Industry Kang Huai and said: "Now both the Air Force and Navy need to speed up the replacement of fourth-generation fighter jets.

Next, let aircraft manufacturers that can produce fourth-generation fighter jets expand their production capacity as much as possible to meet the needs of the Air Force and Navy. "

Kang Huai said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, several aircraft manufacturers that can produce fourth-generation fighter jets have already increased their production capacity to the maximum. Unless they add new production lines, they will not be able to increase their production capacity at all."

Zhou Rui waved his hand: "Then add a new production line.

Recently, several countries in the Nine Events Alliance have made more and more petty moves. Our Han and Tang Empires have to make some preparations early.

By the way, did you find the radioactive material that I asked your Ministry of Industry to look for? "

"Your Majesty, our Ministry of Industry has searched the entire empire, but we haven't found that kind of radioactive substance, and we haven't even found that kind of radioactive substance on the mainland of the gods."

"Oh, got it.

But we have to keep searching. If we can find that kind of radioactive substance, our Han and Tang Empire can easily drive those orc countries and those elf countries back to the orc world. "

In the palace of Noelya City, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, Emperor Cosno looked at the coughing Prime Minister Salento and asked with concern: "Sarento, what did the doctor say about your illness?"

After Prime Minister Salento stopped coughing, he smiled wryly and said, "It's all old problems, nothing serious."

Then Prime Minister Salento changed his voice, "Your Majesty, some countries in our Nine Events Alliance have caused a lot of trouble recently, such as the three elf countries.

The minister was a little worried that if these countries did this, they would offend the Han and Tang empires. "

Emperor Kosno's eyes flickered fiercely when he heard the words, "Actually, recently, I have also wanted to make some small moves on the Han and Tang Empires.

Today, our Golden Lion Empire, as well as other countries in the Nine Events Alliance, are no longer comparable to those in the last war.

The Han and Tang Empire occupied such a vast land, shouldn't it be time to give up some? "

When Prime Minister Salento heard this, he immediately said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, we Golden Lion Empire must be cautious in the face of the Han and Tang Empires. After all, the war potential of the Han and Tang Empires is too great."

Emperor Kosno said with a smile: "Nowadays, the fighter jets of the Air Force have been updated to the fourth generation, the main battle tanks of the Army have been updated to the third generation, and the battleships and battlecruisers of the Navy have been completely reduced to target ships.

It is precisely because of the upgrading of weapons and equipment that the gap between our Golden Lion Empire and the Han and Tang Empire has narrowed a lot.

If the military power of the nine countries in the alliance is added up, it can already form a certain advantage in the face of the Han and Tang Empires. "

Prime Minister Salento hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the Han and Tang Empires have always been willing to hide their strength. In this regard, our Golden Lion Empire and even the entire Nine Events Alliance have suffered a lot.

For example, the battleships and battlecruisers of the Han and Tang Empire Navy seem to have been modernized, adding some ship electrical systems and missile devices, and turned into guided missile battleships and guided missile battlecruisers.

So far, the intelligence department of our Golden Lion Empire has not figured out how many guided missile battleships and how many guided missile battlecruisers were transformed by the navy of the Han and Tang Empires. "

After the navies of various countries were equipped with missiles one after another, the large number of battleships and battlecruisers of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires all fell behind.

However, Zhou Rui immediately spent a lot of money to continuously upgrade some battleships and battlecruisers.

如今汉唐帝国皇家海军现役当中，已经改造为导弹战列舰的军舰，包括了195艘甘阳级超级战列舰、126艘德国h44型超级战列舰、118艘德国h43型超级战列舰、136艘“镇”字级战列舰、78艘东瀛国大和级战列舰、75艘美国蒙大拿级战列舰、86艘德国兴登堡级战列舰。

以及70艘美国衣阿华级战列舰、68艘法国黎塞留级战列舰、72艘德国俾斯麦级战列舰、68艘美国科罗拉多级战列舰、68艘美国北卡罗来纳级战列舰、73艘美国南达科他级战列舰、72艘东瀛国长门级战列舰和52艘意大利维内托级战列舰。

已经改造为导弹战列巡洋舰的军舰，包括了83艘英国胡德级战列巡洋舰、86艘美国阿拉斯加级战列巡洋舰、130艘“苍”字级战列巡洋舰、65艘德国沙恩霍斯特级战列巡洋舰和120艘德国o级战列巡洋舰。

These guided missile battleships and guided missile battlecruisers have undergone large-scale modernization. On the premise of retaining all the main guns, advanced missile devices and some ship electrical systems have been installed, but the traditional appearance of battleships and battlecruisers is still retained. .

It is precisely because these guided missile battleships and guided missile battlecruisers retain their traditional appearance that it is difficult for the outside world to evaluate the combat effectiveness of these guided missile battleships and guided missile battlecruisers.

The Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Dynasties kept strict confidentiality on the transformation of these guided missile battleships and guided missile battlecruisers. The intelligence system of the Golden Lion Empire did not even figure out what type of missile battleships and guided missile battlecruisers were installed. missiles.

As for how many missile battleships and missile battlecruisers the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires transformed, the intelligence system of the Golden Lion Empire is even less clear.

In addition to these guided missile battleships and guided missile battlecruisers, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Dynasties also had many battleships and battlecruisers. Because of their structure or age, they were not modernized. Some were scrapped and demolished, while others were sealed up. up.

Hearing that Prime Minister Salento mentioned the guided missile battleships and guided missile battlecruisers transformed by the Han and Tang Empire Navy, Emperor Cosno sighed and said: "Speaking of which, I have to envy the rich and powerful Han and Tang Empire.

You must know that the cost of transforming those battleships and battlecruisers is simply astronomical.

Our Golden Lion Empire spent billions of silver coins to transform 30 Wild Lion-class super battleships into missile battleships.

As a result, in the final calculation, the comprehensive combat effectiveness of a Wild Lion-class super battleship may only be slightly stronger than a Blue Whale-class guided missile cruiser of our Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, which is really not worth the candle. "

After a pause, Emperor Kosno continued: "Through the transformation of the Lion-class super battleship, it can be seen that the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the transformed missile battleship and missile battlecruiser is actually not high. After all, these missile battleships and missile battlecruisers The large-caliber naval guns equipped are likely to be useless in naval battles.
