The end of the military era

When Lin Hai boarded the train, he discovered that Lin Wufu from his own village was on the same train as him.

"Brother Wufu, I didn't expect that we would meet again on the train.

Brother Wufu, it is really surprising that you have received a call-up order. I remember that you have been retired for five or six years. "

Lin Wufu, who is 33 years old this year, smiled and said: "The navy is different from your army, all of them are technical arms.

As long as the veterans of the Navy do not reach the age of 40, they are basically drafted this time. "

According to the military service law currently implemented by the Han and Tang Empires, each conscript in the Navy has a service period of 8 years, which is 3 years longer than that of the Army.

"Brother Wufu, what kind of unit are you on the warship?"

"I have a confidentiality policy, and I am not allowed to disclose it."

As soon as Lin Hai heard this, he quickly changed the topic. In fact, even Lin Hai had a confidentiality policy. He was not allowed to disclose some things in the army to the outside world, not even his own relatives.

Both Lin Wufu and Lin Hai's destinations were the Kangxingang Naval Base. The two of them transferred to a military train and took a train for more than 20 hours before finally arriving at the Kangxingang Naval Base.

After disembarking from the military ranks, Lin Wufu said to Lin Hai: "Haiwazi, I have to report. Be smart when you go to the battlefield."

"Brother Wufu, see you at the celebration banquet!"

"Okay! See you at the celebration banquet!"

After Lin Wufu went to the Reserve Officers and Soldiers Office of Kangxingang Naval Base to report, a lieutenant colonel in the office found out Lin Wufu's service records.

"You used to serve on the guided-missile battleship Yongjian, and it happens that the guided-missile battleship Yongjian is about to return to our Royal Navy's active duty. Then you can return to Yongjian and continue to serve as the squad leader of the cooking squad."

Lin Wufu couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, "The Yongjian account has been unsealed, that's great, I'll go to the Yongjian account!"

The Yongjian guided missile battleship belongs to the German h43 super battleship. After three modernizations, the full load displacement of the German h43 super battleship has risen to 1388 million tons, and the maximum speed is still 32 knots.

In addition to retaining four triple-mounted 43-caliber 4mm main guns on the German H48 super battleship, the other artillery has been removed and replaced with advanced missile devices and ship-to-ship weapon systems.

The current German H43 super battleship can carry 1328 various missiles, including 88 long-range cruise missiles with a range of 9000 kilometers, and is also equipped with 6 anti-submarine helicopters.

The cost of these 1328 missiles alone is enough to build two new German H2 super battleships.

That is to say, the Han and Tang Empires, which were not short of money, dared to transform old battleships in this way. For example, the missile battleships transformed by the Golden Lion Empire generally only installed about 100 various missiles.

There are a total of 43 German H118 super battleships in active service and in storage in the Imperial Navy of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and these 118 German H43 super battleships have all been modernized and become missile battleships.

In the naval base of Ganyang City, the accompanying capital of the Han and Tang Empire, Wang Kui, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empire, stood on the pier, watching the flight decks of eight American Forrest-class aircraft carriers, with carrier-based aircraft taking off and landing continuously. Turning his head to Song Shengwen, chief of staff of the Royal Navy, he asked, "Old Song, what happened to the other 8 Blessing-class aircraft carriers sealed up?"

Song Shengwen, chief of staff of the Royal Navy, is the son of Song Limin, the former commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy. However, Song Shengwen's ability to become the chief of staff of the Royal Navy is more due to Song Shengwen's own ability and a series of dazzling military exploits.

The Blessing-class aircraft carrier that Wang Kui mentioned is the Forrest-class aircraft carrier of the United States.

宋胜文随即说道：“其他58艘祝福级航空母舰也全都配齐了第四代舰载战斗机，分别配备了26架雄猫战斗机、26架大黄蜂战斗机、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。”

Wang Kui asked again: "How is the transformation of 180 Journey-class aircraft carriers and 52 Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers going?"

The Journey-class aircraft carrier is the American Midway-class aircraft carrier. Originally, after the last decisive battle with the combined fleet of nine navies, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires had only 120 American Midway-class aircraft carriers left. 60 new US Midway-class aircraft carriers were launched.

You must know that when the 60 new US Midway-class aircraft carriers were drawn out by the lottery system, they were already a little behind, so Zhou Rui extracted all the 60 US Midway-class aircraft carriers and delivered them to the Royal Navy. All are archived.

Song Shengwen hesitated for a moment and said: "Old Wang, 180 Journey-class aircraft carriers are not bad, after all, the full-load displacement exceeds 65 tons, and they can still carry a lot of carrier-based aircraft.

However, the full-load displacement of the Bird's Nest-class aircraft carrier is only 37000 tons, and it cannot carry many carrier-based aircraft at all. Is there any need for modification? "

The Bird's Nest-class aircraft carrier is the first aircraft carrier independently developed and built by the Han and Tang Empires. This is why the 52 Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers have not been scrapped and dismantled, although they are relatively old.

For example, the American Essex-class aircraft carrier and the Dongying Guoxianghe-class aircraft carrier originally owned by the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires have similar full-load displacement and similar performance to the Bird's Nest-class aircraft carrier, but they have all been scrapped and dismantled.

Wang Kui then said in a deep voice: "This time, our Han and Tang Empire is going to single out the Nine Military Alliance, and our Royal Navy is going to face the combined fleet of the nine navies again. After all, it would be good to have more aircraft carriers.

Journey-class and Bird's Nest-class can be directly equipped with third-generation carrier-based fighter jets to cooperate with various aircraft carrier formations for operations.

What I am worried about now is that the 180 journey-class ships and 52 bird-nest-class ships cannot complete the transformation work before the outbreak of the war. After all, neither the 180 journey-class ships nor the 52 bird-nest-class ships participated in the two large-scale upgrades of the previously sealed warships. "

宋胜文为难的说道：“我们皇家海军这次一下子准备把封存的近300艘航空母舰、700余艘导弹战列舰、200余艘导弹战列巡洋舰、2000余艘导弹巡洋舰和1000多艘导弹驱逐舰，全部进行解封。

This puts great pressure on the various shipyards. Many sealed warships cannot be used immediately and must be maintained by the shipyards. "

The more than 2000 guided missile cruisers and more than 1000 guided missile destroyers sealed up by the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Dynasties were all rebuilt from the original heavy cruisers, large armored cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers.

Although in terms of performance, it is not as good as the specially produced guided missile cruisers and guided missile destroyers, but with the advanced missile installations and ship-electric weapon systems of the Han and Tang Empire, it also has quite good combat effectiveness.

Wang Kui sighed and said: "Although His Majesty has added 24 Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers to our Royal Navy, there are also 6000 Tomcat fighter jets and 6000 Hornet fighter jets.

But thinking of going to war with the joint fleet of nine countries' navies, I still feel a little nervous. "

宋胜文说道：“老王，仅仅拿航空母舰来说，就算180艘旅途级和52艘鸟巢级赶不上战争，我们皇家海军仍然拥有132艘小鹰级、60艘擎天级、30艘岛屿级和343艘巨无霸级。

Although the combined fleet of the nine navies has some advantages in terms of overall quantity, the aircraft carrier of our Royal Navy has an advantage in quality.

The most important thing is that the navies of the six orc countries and the three elf countries now have more fourth-generation carrier-based fighter jets than our Royal Navy.

Moreover, the Seal carrier-based fighter jets and Sea Lion carrier-based fighter jets owned by our Royal Navy are not bad in all aspects, and they still have strong combat effectiveness in battle. "

The Seal carrier-based fighter and the Sea Lion carrier-based fighter are the third-generation carrier-based fighters independently developed and produced by the Han and Tang Empires. The former focuses on performing air defense, interception and reconnaissance tasks, and the latter focuses on attacking enemy ships and air vehicles. ground attack missions.

Wang Kui nodded, "Actually, I also know that the strength of our Royal Navy on paper is actually greater than the navies of the six orc nations and the three elf nations.

But the next battle is too important for our Han and Tang Empire, and our Royal Navy must not lose.

I even want to reactivate all the Dongfang-class escort aircraft carriers that have been sealed up.

One more warship and one more carrier-based fighter jet will give our Royal Navy a little more confidence in winning. "

Originally, Song Shengwen wanted to suggest whether to unblock some of the sealed warships. After all, even after modernization, many warships would not be able to exert much combat effectiveness, such as 52 Bird's Nest-class aircraft carriers.

按照造船厂那边给出的计划，鸟巢级航空母舰只能搭载20架舰载战斗机、2架预警机、2架电子战机、2架反潜直升机和2架救援直升机。

Compared with the huge cost of transformation, such a small amount of aircraft is really not worth it.

But seeing Wang Kui's worried look, Song Shengwen didn't make that suggestion again. Anyway, the Ministry of Finance of the Empire just allocated an astronomical sum of money to the Royal Navy, which was enough for the Royal Navy to squander.

In the imperial palace of Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhou Rui saw the unsealed list of sealed warships of the Royal Navy, and couldn't help saying to Prince Zhou Jun: "Wang Kui is not in charge of the family and doesn't know how to use firewood.

一下子解封了298艘航空母舰、712艘导弹战列舰、208艘导弹战列巡洋舰、2050艘导弹巡洋舰和1360艘导弹驱逐舰。

Not to mention how much money is needed to unblock these warships for maintenance, just to equip these warships with officers and soldiers will increase the military salary of millions of people every month. "

Prince Zhou Jun said with a smile: "The Ministry of Finance has just allocated 1500 billion special military expenditures to the Royal Navy. Wang Kui is rich and powerful now. I heard that Commander Wang is even planning to send hundreds of transport ships with a full load displacement of more than 30 tons. Transformed into an escort aircraft carrier.

It's a pity that the current carrier-based fighter jets are all jet aircraft, weighing more than ten tons. When they land on the deck, they will cause a great impact. Therefore, there are very high requirements for the deck and structure of the aircraft carrier itself. Transport ships simply cannot satisfy this.
