Volume 9 Undercurrents Chapter 6 Dominate the Crowd

According to the thug Yuekou Ri, the military exercise began in the multinational alliance of the Great Pingyang International Ancang. [No pop-up novel network]

Pigeon warships, fighter planes and helicopters from the United States, the Republic, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei, and Singapore, as well as officers and men of the ground forces of the United States, the Republic, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei, and Singapore, gathered in the waters of Guam.

Before the start of the exercise, all participating ships in the "Ford. under the leadership of the aircraft carrier, it was inspected by the generals of various countries.

Because this is a joint military exercise with the main purpose of fighting piracy, dealing with terrorist attacks at sea, and responding to natural disasters in the ocean, the United States will send its air force to participate in the exercise. Other countries have sent military forces, mainly naval forces, supplemented by the Sixth World War II, to participate in the exercise.

Before the exercises began, the contest between the Republic and the United States began.

Before the Republic agreed to send troops to participate in the exercise, the Pentagon revealed to the outside world that the scale of the participating troops was not large, only an amphibious expeditionary fleet led by the "Saipan" and one catty. Company of the 6 Sentai Clan. After the republic promised to send troops to participate in the exercise, the Pentagon immediately revealed new information to the outside world, announcing that it would send "Ford." The aircraft carrier battle group, as well as a 6 battalion, participated in the exercise. After the Republic announced the situation of the participating troops, the Pentagon once again adjusted the size of the participating troops and officially announced that it would send "Ford." USS Aircraft Carrier Strike Group, "Saipan." The amphibious expeditionary fleet, an "Aerospace Expeditionary Group" and a 6 battalion participated in the exercise.

The Pentagon has twice adjusted the size of the troops participating in the exercise, which is nothing more than an attempt to press the Republic during the exercise.

This is true in reality, with the exception of the USS Ford aircraft carrier battle group. There are also 3 "Philadelphia"-class comprehensive boarding 6 ships, "New Orleans" class dock boarding 6 ships, and anti-submarine destroyers; The two fleets have a total of various types of warships, accounting for 30% of the warships participating in the exercise. The Republic only sent the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier battle group to participate in the exercise, and there were only various types of warships in total, and only the United States participated in the exercise

Half.

In fact. The Pentagon did take pains.

Judging from the establishment of aircraft carrier battle groups and amphibious expeditionary fleets, they are far above normal levels. Under normal circumstances, the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group has six to eight surface escort warships, while the amphibious expeditionary fleet is not equipped with escort warships and only dispatches warships to carry out escort missions in wartime.

The Pentagon's efforts have not been rewarded accordingly.

Not to mention the news media of the Republic, and the neutral media that have always tended to support the Republic. Even the news media of the United States and Western countries have focused on the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier battle group, which has participated in the joint military exercise led by the United States. To the "Huaxia" class aircraft carrier, "Qinling. The cruisers and destroyers of the "Taihu" class made a comprehensive report, as if the world did not know about these kinds of warships that made a big splash in the Korean Peninsula War and the Japanese War.

What makes reporters even more crazy is that the republic is not only not secretive, but also very generous.

On the day that the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier battle group entered the port of Apra, the Navy of the Republic of China opened its arms to all reporters, not only allowing them to take pictures on the warship, but also organizing a group of officers and men who were proficient in English to give on-the-spot explanations to the reporters who came to cover the news. The performance characteristics and combat capabilities of several large warships are described in detail. The day before the start of the military exercises, the Navy of the Republic was still in the "Huaxia. A special news conference was held on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, at which a rich and delicious Chinese meal was prepared for the reporters, as well as graphic and written materials on the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier battle group's participation in the Korean Peninsula War and the Japanese War. When the reporters were still unsatisfied, the Navy of the Republic also specially allowed some reporters to enter the "Huaxia." The combat command center of the aircraft carrier used the lens of reporters to show the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier in front of the world.

There is no doubt that this is not a military exercise. It's diplomacy!

The generous gesture of the Navy of the Republic somewhat surprised the US military. Because the exercise is about to begin, it is impossible for the US military to introduce the US warship in a similar way.

The reporters' comprehensive report also made it impossible for the Pentagon, which was presiding over the exercise, to step down.

According to the original plan, at the pre-exercise ceremony, the warships of the Republic lined up behind the Australian and Canadian warships, except for the host's warships at the front. Because the outside response was too strong and the attention to the warships of the Republic Navy was too high, the Pentagon had to adjust the order of the formation on the first night of the exercise, so that the warships of the Republic were lined up behind the American warships.

The battleship ceremony begins. The American warships and the Republic warships are very intuitively displayed.

The "Ford" with a full load displacement of 10,000 tons is larger than the "Huaxia" with a full load displacement of less than 10,000 tons, and it looks more powerful, but the "Huaxia" adopts a double-ship island design and a fully enclosed electronic mast, and the small eyes are more avant-garde and fashionable. The appearance is also more concise and beautiful, and the difference between the six cruisers and the six cruisers is extraordinary. It's just that the retractable main gun turret of the "Bainbridge" class is more streamlined, while the polygonal turret of the "Qinling" class is more reflective of actual combat capabilities. The difference in destroyers is even less pronounced. All are designed in accordance with multi-purpose combat indicators. On the contrary, the all-electric anti-submarine escort of the republic ran out of the limelight, and compared with the anti-submarine destroyers of the United States, the all-electric frigates are not only more dexterous. It also better reflects the application prospect of advanced electric technology in naval surface warships.

The reporters who were reporting on the scene had an issue of interest to the whole world.

The warships of the Republic looked rusty and never seemed to have been adequately maintained. When talking about this situation, some commentators mentioned the basic maintenance of naval warships. Unlike the 6th Army combat vehicle, the Navy warship can be fully maintained at any time, and can only be maintained according to the schedule according to the service time and the use of the warship. "Painting" a battleship can only be carried out at the time of docking overhaul, and in general, the interval between overhauls of battleships is more than three years. Because the large-scale combat operations of the Japanese War ended in the middle of the year, many of the battleships that participated in the war had not yet reached the time for overhaul. In the eyes of the vast majority of people, this is the Republic Navy's "deliberate attempt to let the warships appear in front of the world in the truest appearance, not the most gorgeous appearance, in order to let the whole world know that these warships have been tested by war!"

In this comparison, the warships of the US Navy do not have much confidence.

Although the aircraft carrier "Ford" and the amphibious assault ship "Saipan" have participated in combat operations on many occasions and performed well during the Iranian War and the Peninsula War, the US warships have never participated in a naval battle in the true sense of the word, let alone encountered an opponent with sufficient strength in the maritime battlefield.

The warships of the Republic are completely different, even if the battle against the South Korean Navy in the Peninsula War is nothing, but against the Japanese Navy in the Japanese War, it is a hard-fought battle, or the second naval battle after World War II with aircraft carriers!

The warships of the Navy of the Republic withstood the test of the fiercest fire.

The warships of the US Navy showed themselves only in asymmetric warfare.

It goes without saying who is superior and who is inferior.

On the day the exercise began, Al Jazeera introduced the combat "resume" of the "Huaxia"-class aircraft carrier with great enthusiasm. "Focuses on the combat operations of the Navy of the Republic in the Japanese War, against the cruisers of the Qinling class and the "Taihu Lake. The wonderful performance of the class destroyers in supporting the Deng-6 operation and strategic strike operations was comprehensively introduced. Of course, Al Jazeera's lavish guest commentators don't forget to talk about the real-world power of the electromagnetic orbit.

Although the United States has equipped the "Bainbridge"-class cruisers and the "Zumwalt"-class destroyers with electromagnetic orbital running with good performance, the US electromagnetic guns have not been tested in actual combat, and even the US military itself is not sure about its actual performance and actual combat power, let alone reporters.

The best way to prove the combat effectiveness of weapons and equipment is war!

From this point of view, the Navy of the Republic of China took advantage of the Songhui of the joint military exercise to "sell" the warships of the Republic to the whole world.

The facts speak for themselves.

Soon after the joint exercise, the Pakistan Navy asked the Republic to help design and build a frigate equipped with at least the old Fighter Kadowaki electromagnetic orbital run. Because of the lack of sufficient funds, the Pakistan Navy wants to control the displacement of the frigate below Cheng Stew to reduce the cost of construction. In fact, many countries that fancy the old type of electromagnetic guns have the same problem, that is, they do not have enough funds to purchase more frigates.

In response to this situation, Jiangnan Shipyard and Dalian Shipyard jointly launched a multi-purpose frigate with a displacement of only lock stew, a much more combative hull, a perfect regional air defense capability, integrated anti-submarine capability, and an all-electric propulsion system.

In the following years, this type of frigate was exported to many countries around the world, and a total of hundreds of them were built!

The user's choice is the best evaluation

In stark contrast, the multi-role destroyer jointly developed by General Electric Communications and Northrop Ships and directly aimed at the export market was built for only four countries: Canada, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand. The two American companies did not even recover the cost of the design!

The basic characteristics of the "cold war" determined the basic situation of state confrontation.

In the case of mutual fear of each other's capabilities for mass destruction, the confrontation between the Republic and the United States will not manifest itself in bloody battlefields, but only in other areas based on comprehensive national strength. For example, diplomatic, economic and trade, political, military cooperation and so on.

The absence of gunpowder often means that the competition is more brutal!
