readx; On January 24, 1944, the Pacific Pact signed by China, Britain and the United States caused great repercussions around the world, and it does not matter what it specifically says, but the important thing is that through this convention, China has sent its own voice to the world and made clear its own position, that is, China will not form an alliance with the world, but will remain neutral. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 This is very important for the Anglo-American coalition, because if China remains neutral as it promises and stops supplying all kinds of resources, it will be equivalent to abolishing more than half of its combat power.

Of course, more importantly, the most important point of this convention is that it represents that China will not break out into war with Britain and the United States!

On the one hand, China supported Soviet Russia against Germany, but on the other hand, China supported Britain and the United States, and occasionally sent some strategic materials to Germany, such as tungsten ore or something, in addition, China's tough diplomacy in Southeast Asia and the Middle East was normal, so Britain and the United States had to maintain great vigilance against China. At the same time, it is also preparing to deal with China. As a result, the United States almost entered a full-fledged wartime economy, and the output of various military products continued to rise, and the United States accounted for more than half of the world's total production of aircraft and tanks in 1943.

It can be seen from this that the United States' intention to confront the world on its own is not groundless, but if necessary, they really intend to do so, and they have the ability to do so!

Now that China and Britain and the United States have reached this Pacific Pact, although they do not know that Chen Jingyun is planning to take the initiative to attack the Pacific Pact in the near future, they know that China is no longer an enemy.

China's decision to declare war was made in 1943, and in the period that followed, both military dispositions and diplomatic arrangements, including the Pacific Convention, were part of China's preparations for the war.

Among the many preparations, although diplomatic preparations are in an uproar, they are far less important to China's overall preparations for war than those of the navy.

Chen Jingyun's requirement for the navy is that it will not only be able to crush the remaining combat strength of the navy, but also need to have the strength to contend with the British and US navies; if there is no navy that has always been strong, why should it negotiate terms with the United States, and why should the United States watch the United States and other Asian islands fall into China's hands at that time.

Whether there is a war with the United States or not, China needs a huge navy all the time! This is not necessary for hegemony in the Pacific or Indian Oceans, but is necessary to ensure China's strategic security line, which can only be pushed forward by more than 3,000 kilometers with a consistently large navy and avoid strategic bombing by the enemy from the sea.

It is precisely for this reason that although the Chinese Navy has not been a belligerent with the navy of Britain and the United States since the outbreak of World War II, the Chinese Navy has never stopped building ships, and in the eighth phase of the Chinese Navy's development plan, the ninth phase of the development plan, the tenth phase of the development plan, and the eleventh phase of the development plan, the total number of Qingshan-class aircraft carriers has reached 14, and the 30,000-ton beveled deck Wutaishan-class aircraft carriers have been improved from the Qingshan-class aircraft carriers and four have been improved. In addition to these medium-sized fleet aircraft carriers, the Chinese Navy has also developed three super aircraft carriers, namely two Tianshan-class aircraft carriers with a standard displacement of 47,000 tons, since the Tianshan-class aircraft carriers were developed, China's jet fighters have developed rapidly, although in the past few years due to technical limitations jet fighters are far from being able to do the point of being on ships, but the Navy is still with the support of Chen Jingyun, made a very far-sighted plan, that is, to develop a super aircraft carrier specially used to carry jet aircraft. And this decision prompted the construction of the Jiulianshan-class aircraft carrier.

If the Tianshan-class aircraft carrier is still a relatively traditional aircraft carrier, and its design was only used to carry propeller aircraft at the beginning, then the beveled deck was developed, but the original design intention of the Tianshan-class aircraft carrier was not changed. However, the Jiulianshan-class aircraft carrier was designed as a jet combat platform from the beginning, and when the Jiulianshan aircraft carrier was designed, China's nuclear bomb had been detonated, although the news was still in a top secret state, but Guan Shijie, who was a senior member of the Navy, still knew about it, and put forward new requirements to the Navy's Ship Administration, that is, the new aircraft carrier should not only be able to carry jet aircraft to fight, but also need to have the requirements of taking off and landing large bombers.

Although many people in the navy could not understand this requirement, in the face of Guan Shijie's hard surname, many designers of the Department of Ship Administration still expanded the original design of the hull in order to meet this requirement, and increased the standard displacement to 55,000 tons, and the expected combat displacement when fully loaded was as high as more than 70,000 tons, so that the Jiulianshan-class aircraft carrier has the ability to take off and land large bombers.

It is even interesting to note that at the beginning of the design of the Jiulianshan-class aircraft carrier, China's mass production of nuclear bombs had not yet been completed, and the navy did not have large bombers that could be used to carry them.

But in any case, the Jiulianshan aircraft carrier is not only a super aircraft carrier that can take off and land jet fighters, but also a super aircraft carrier that can take off and land large bombers.

In order to meet the take-off requirements of jet aircraft, the Jiulianshan-class aircraft carrier is even ready to be equipped with steam catapults that are still under development.

The first ship of the Jiulianshan-class aircraft carrier Jiulianshan was designed in 1942 and officially started in mid-1942, and the second ship also started construction in July 1942, and today in 1944, the two super aircraft carriers are still under intense construction, and there is still a period of time before they are in service, and the specific service time has not been determined, because the construction hull of the Jiulianshan-class aircraft carrier is only the most basic part, and the research and development of steam catapults has also been designed. In other words, the official service time of the Jiulianshan-class aircraft carrier depends on the completion of the development of the Chinese steam catapult.

Although the Jiulianshan-class aircraft carrier is still under construction, in 1943, the Chinese Navy once again ambitiously put forward the plan of two super aircraft carriers in the latest 11th development plan, preparing to expand the design according to the basic design of the Jiulianshan-class aircraft carrier, and want to build a super aircraft carrier with a standard displacement of 60,000 tons.

It can be said that since 1942, the focus of China's aircraft carrier development has been developed from a medium-sized aircraft carrier of about 30,000 tons to a super aircraft carrier.

Of course, the construction of medium-sized aircraft carriers of about 30,000 tons has not been stopped in this process, after all, no one knows when jet carrier-based aircraft will be able to serve in large quantities, and once a large-scale war breaks out and cannot be used, it will be necessary to use propeller aircraft, and with propeller aircraft, it is completely wasteful to use a super aircraft carrier of 50,000 or 60,000 tons, and only a medium-sized aircraft carrier of about 30,000 tons can achieve the best surname-price ratio.

This is why the Chinese Navy developed the 30,000-ton Wutaishan-class aircraft carrier based on the Qingshan-class aircraft carrier after the Qingshan-class aircraft carrier, and adopted a beveled deck at the beginning of the design. In fact, in a way, the Wutaishan-class aircraft carrier is the ultimate improved version of the sloped deck type of the Aoyama-class aircraft carrier.

It is also worth noting that in addition to the traditional straight-through deck of the six ships in the front, the eight ships in the rear all use beveled decks.

In addition to the United States to carry out research on related surnames, the British side is even more attentive, this is because the British aircraft carriers are generally low tonnage, and the number is also small, in order to be able to make the aircraft carriers in their hands play a greater combat effectiveness, in order to be able to let the aircraft carriers in their hands smoothly take off and land the heavy carrier-based fighters supported by the United States, Britain pays more attention to the application of the inclined deck than the United States.

Putting aside the development of other countries for the time being, it is also said that the Chinese Navy reached 1944, and the ninth phase of the development plan formulated between 1939 and 1940 after World War II was completed and entered the end, and the three Yangtze River-class large cruisers were commissioned from 1942 to 1943, and the core content of the ninth phase of the plan, that is, ten Tsingshan-class aircraft carriers, has also been in service as many as eight, and the remaining two CV22 and CV23 have also entered the final sea trial training stage. Once the sea trials and training are completed, they will be put into service within two to three months.

By that time, China will have 22 aircraft carriers of the old and new fleets, in addition to about 20 converted escort aircraft carriers.

China has not developed escort aircraft carriers on the same scale as the United States, mainly because China does not need to cross the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans like the United States, and it also faces the threat of German submarine warfare, and the United States also needs a large number of escort aircraft carriers when transporting large quantities of supplies to Australia. However, China did not have too much urgency about sea transportation before, and even if it was about to launch a campaign against the city, it did not need to span many distances, so China's modified escort aircraft carriers were more used as a supplement to the fleet aircraft carriers, and when necessary, they were to support the decisive battle of the fleet. And the escort aircraft carriers of the Americans are more used to escort transport fleets.

It can be seen from the tonnage and speed of the escort aircraft carriers on both sides that most of China's escort aircraft carriers are more than 15,000 tons, half of them are more than 20,000 tons, and the speed of the ships is generally more than 20 knots, and some of them are more than 25 knots. The US escort aircraft carriers are generally about 10,000 tons, and the speed is between 16 and 18 knots.

Having such a huge navy is the foundation for China's offensive and the fundamental challenge to the British and American forces in the Pacific and the Indian Ocean.
