Volume 9 Undercurrents Chapter 9 The Face of the Nation
Excellent; If he had known that the United States would let the "seals" replace the 6 th team, in fact, the "seals" were the special forces of the 6 team of the United States, and they belonged to the combat units within the establishment of the 6 teams, Xiang Linghui would definitely let Lu Chengwen go on a trip. After all, losing the exercise is not the same as losing the war, but losing the country's face is a big matter. In the foreseeable future, there are not many opportunities for the Republican team and the American team to face each other on the battlefield, at least there will be no head-to-head confrontation on the table. If you want to overwhelm the United States and show the strength of the republican power, you can only make a fuss about joint military exercises.
Will the third exercise be won. It is not the ability of individual soldiers to fight on the move, but the "ability to fight systematically".
Although the third exercise was nominally a "joint rescue operation for natural disasters," and it was a "non-military operation" of the armed forces that did not require direct confrontation among the participating troops, the "non-military operation" could also reflect the strength of the armed forces, especially the army's ability to project troops and materials, and its ability to organize large-scale operations.
If even the "non-military operation" is not good. How strong can the army be counted on?
Not to mention anything else, at the beginning of the century, after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, the domestic news media in the United States vigorously criticized the US military, believing that the US military was far inferior to the Republican ** team in the disaster relief operation. Almost a week after the hurricane passed, the first U.S. relief unit entered the disaster area. In the catastrophic flood disaster in the south of the Republic, on the same day, hundreds of thousands of republicans entered the disaster area. Get involved in disaster relief efforts!
Although the military system of the United States is different from that of the Republic, the basic duty of the military is to defend national interests and protect national security. Disaster relief operations are also within the purview of the military. In the words of American politicians, if taxpayers invest hundreds of billions of dollars every year to raise an army that cannot lend a helping hand to taxpayers in need at the most critical time, what reason do taxpayers have to pay taxes?
When it comes to practical issues, the situation of the Republic's troops participating in the exercise does not allow for optimism.
The U.S. military sent thugs to support the aircraft carrier battle group with! amphibious expeditionary fleet, while the Republic sent only an aircraft carrier battle group.
In terms of military functions, the aircraft carrier battle group is the navy's most powerful maritime strike force, capable of dealing not only with the enemy at sea, but also at an enemy at depths of 6,000 kilometers, and is the most formidable offensive force. The amphibious expeditionary fleet is nominally an amphibious assault force, with the main mission of carrying out and supporting the Deng-6 operation, but in essence it is a veritable "force projection force." "In terms of projecting forces, the amphibious expeditionary fleet is far superior to an aircraft carrier battle group.
Compare the "Saipan" with the "Ford". Under normal circumstances, the "Saipan" has only half the carrying capacity of the "Ford," and the carrier-based aircraft that can be used to deliver combat units and combat materials are twice that of the "Ford." If we include the surface projection forces such as the amphibious boarding six boats attached to the "Saipan," the "Saipan" has a far greater force projection capacity than the "Ford." Strictly speaking. In the combat establishment of the US military, the "Ford" is not responsible for the task of sending troops.
Similar to the USS Ford, the USS Huaxia aircraft carrier battle group of the Republic Navy does not have the ability to project troops.
Without the ability to project troops, there will be no disaster relief capability, and naturally there will be no victory in the exercise
Force.
At the request of the delegation of the Republic to participate in the exercise. The third exercise was postponed to Women's Day, and the "air material delivery and personnel evacuation operations" and "sea material delivery and personnel evacuation operations" were calculated separately. Because the other participating armies did not have the power to project from the sea, the United States relented and accepted the Republic's proposal.
In the eyes of the US military, the republic is definitely lost!
The "Saipan" amphibious assault ship carried all kinds of helicopters and tilt-rotary-wing aircraft, and the amphibious warship carried various types of helicopters and tilt-rotary-wing planes, including the helicopters and tilt-rotary-wing planes carried by the "Ford" aircraft carrier battle group and other large warships participating in the exercise. In total, the U.S. military has gill frames for helicopters and tilt-rotary-wing aircraft that can be used to deliver supplies and evacuate personnel.
The Republic's "Huaxia" aircraft carrier battle group has only helicopters and tilt-rotor aircraft.
Before the exercise began, the US military won absolute superiority in troops.
However, the situation of the exercise was completely contrary to the expectations of the US military, and reporters from various countries who came to cover the exercise were even more surprised.
In the "rescue and evacuation operation" during the divination. The helicopters and tilt-rotary-wing planes of the Navy of the Republic were all stewed in conjunction with the thugs, and the personnel withdrawn were inferior to the Navy of the Republic according to their names.
The remaining shelf has not been spelled out of the shelf!
After receiving the results of the exercise, the commander-in-chief of the US military did not believe it at all and immediately asked the "Coordinating Organizing Committee" to conduct verification.
There was no change in the results of the verification, and the US military lost. And it was a disgraceful loss.
Within a few hours, the helicopters and tilt-rotary-wing planes of the Republic of China Navy flew an average of six sorties, each time transporting 10,000 tons of supplies and 60,000 personnel.
It can be seen from this that the US military was mainly defeated in the "attendance rate", and its average sortie rate was only a number of sorties!
Pulling back a game, the Navy of the Republic did not forget to make a big publicity.
The Navy of the Republic certainly won not in terms of numbers, nor in the quality of personnel, but in the performance of equipment.
The riveting helicopters and tilt-rotary-wing planes participating in the exercise are all fully electric propulsion, which not only can fly to the maximum extent throughout the exercise, but also have much better logistical support and maintenance than the US military planes using turboshaft engines.
Taking the performance data of the 2 inclined rotary-wing aircraft released by the Republic of China Navy similar to that of the United States' "Modern Osprey" as an example, the maximum level flight is 7 kilometers per hour, the maximum ceiling of the vertical propulsion state is 4 meters, the maximum ceiling of the horizontal propulsion state is 4 meters, the maximum ceiling of the horizontal propulsion state is Wangkou Mi Chou is the barge meter, the maximum transition range is 2 kilometers when there is no refueling in the air, and the maximum combat radius is more than one kilometer per kilometer. The maximum load of the old ton in the north 2 out of the vertical take-off is the mouth ton, the maximum load of the load of 10,000 tons during taxiing and take-off is a couple of tons, and the maximum number of fully armed soldiers in the north can be carried Feng Ming, the left is famous or the ugly name is more seriously wounded than a knife for the mouth name, there is no doubt that the performance of the tooth is fully over the north one out. More importantly, the requirements for logistics support and maintenance are much lower than those of 2. During the exercise. 2. The average maintenance time of each flight is less than a blade minute, which is about a minute longer than a beater. It is more than much that is not dirty. Because the 2 ground support personnel are twice as many as 10,000, the actual support and maintenance workload is more than twice that of the bardam!
In the pamphlet sent to the representatives of each team, the Navy of the Republic clearly mentioned that it only needs one "electrical engineer" who is proficient in electrical technology to complete all technical support and maintenance work, and at least three technicians are needed for the second out. Considering the long-term cost of equipping the army, even if the price of Wu is twice as old as 2, the funds used are still about a paste lower than that of Beiyi during the whole life of 10,000 years. If we take into account the price difference between electricity and aviation fuel, the actual cost of using Buwei is only about 2 in North Anhui. In addition, the comprehensive performance of the swamp is more than a chi's beater, and its cost performance is far more than that of the North One Disturbance, which has enough temptation for each ** team.
Not to mention other countries, even the U.S. military has a strong interest in Da Tears.
Of course, the intention of the US military is to figure out the key technology of the tooth and create a similar inclined rotary-wing aircraft.
As early as the old year of the United States, that is, when the United States manufactured the first composite battery with "independent intellectual property rights," the US 6th Sentai and the Navy jointly opened an all-electric tilt-rotor aircraft to prepare to replace the "Osprey" in an all-round way. Series. It was only after the Republic used composite batteries above the mouth level in the field of military aviation and raised the "threshold" for all-electric aircraft. Because the United States has temporarily developed composite batteries that are not above the export level, and it has enough advantages in the field of traditional aviation power, it has improved compared with a chou and exhibited the "modern Osprey." "There was no immediate drive for an all-electric tilt-rotary-wing aircraft.
It has been proved that there is a problem with the direction of the US military's exhibition.
After 7 Zhao showed his strength in the exercise, the US military accelerated the development progress of all-electric tilt-rotary-wing aircraft and all-electric helicopters, and clearly proposed to develop an "all-electric military rotary-wing aviation platform" that can comprehensively replace the Worrya series, the Fan series, and the Fanqiang series before the year of concave medicine. ”
Before the advent of the "all-electric military rotorcraft aviation platform" in the United States, the all-electric series of aircraft of the Republic occupied most of the international "rotorcraft market" and obtained hundreds of billions of export revenues.
Of course, there is no controversy about the end of the exercise.
Although the US military used disgraceful methods to win back the game in the second exercise, it was still the Republican troops participating in the exercise who had the last laugh.
Having planted a big heel at the doorstep, the mentality of the US military can be imagined.
In the final "Military Friendship Confrontation Sports Competition" and the "Military Friendship Joint Confrontation Exercise," the Republic's participating troops restrained themselves somewhat. didn't let the host get off the stage. After all, if you take advantage of the main stage, you have to let the host who has contributed money and effort to get some benefits, otherwise it is a question whether the next joint military exercise will be held.
On the whole, the performance of the Republic's troops participating in the exercise was remarkable, and they basically successfully completed their tasks.
This is also the first time that the Republican team has shown its strength on the international stage after the Japanese War.
Unlike war, joint military exercises are entirely open to the news media. This is because most of the equipment equipped by the troops participating in the exercise of the Republic participated in the Japanese War. Even the participants had been on the battlefield, so after figuring out the quality of the republic's soldiers and the performance of their equipment, the news media also understood why Japan had lost so badly.
The military is a sharp weapon of war, and it is also a face of the country facing the world.
