After finishing speaking, Yan Shao looked at Sa Zhenbing on the side again.

The next thing is naturally the problem of HNA.

Naval aviation, to be exact. In fact, today's Wehrmacht not only has army aviation, but also naval aviation. Moreover, compared with the army, the navy is obviously more optimistic about the status of the navy.

On the eve of World War I, Great Britain, the United States, France, Japan, Russia and other countries competed to develop seaplanes and began to build naval aviation. During the war, naval aviation mainly carried out support tasks such as maritime reconnaissance and target indication for ships. In order to expand the range of aircraft activities, some countries have converted large ships into seaplane carriers. After the war, Britain, the United States, Japan, Russia, and other countries had their first aircraft carriers and carrier-based aviation, and shore-based aviation was further developed.

On the other hand, while it is true that countries attach great importance to HNA, China will only pay more attention to these countries than these countries.

This is not surprising, first of all, that above the sea, sometimes whoever can detect the opponent before the enemy is likely to win. It is also because of this relationship that almost every capital ship of the navy nowadays, that is, ships of more than 10,000 tons, is basically equipped with certain aircraft for reconnaissance, and these aircraft can take off and land in two ways.

One is to be ejected from a catapult on a warship and then land on the surface.

Another way is to take off from the surface of the water and then land on the surface.

In any case, at least with these two methods, the Navy already has a stronger reconnaissance capability than in the past.

Not to mention that. There is also such a storage zài as Yan Shao.

You must know that as a person of later generations, Yan Shao is very aware of the power of naval aviation―――――― okay. Perhaps what Yan Shao knows is not the combat capability of naval aviation, but the combat capability of aircraft carriers and the aircraft carried on it!

After all, in later generations, even ignorant people will know that the hegemon on the sea is not a battleship or a missile destroyer, but an aircraft carrier fleet headed by aircraft carriers!

This kind of fleet even has a huge strength enough to subvert a country. The reason why the United States was able to dominate the world in later generations. It has nothing to do with the aircraft carrier fleet he has.

Because from a certain point of view, the aircraft carriers that the Americans have are much higher than any country in the world, both in terms of quality and quantity. The overall strength of its navy can compete with almost all navies in the world―――――― of course. If this is not the case, then it is too sorry for the huge military spending of the United States, which is almost the same as that of the rest of the world!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the next generation, even a child will know what the overlord of the sea is, let alone Yan Shao. So since the advent of this thing about seaplanes. Yan Shao has already begun to consider the issue of building aircraft carriers. And during the First World War. began to let its shipyards. began to build the world's first aircraft carrier in the true sense of the word according to its own needs―――――― compared with which the aircraft carriers of other countries were either converted from warships or with merchant ships, and the defects were naturally relatively large.

Of course, even the world's first aircraft carrier in the true sense of the word is actually quite far behind later generations. First of all, the displacement is only about 10,000 tons, and because it is the first ship, it is still in the process of exploration. Therefore, the deck of the entire aircraft carrier is flat, and there are no facilities such as ship islands that are common to later aircraft carriers. Not to mention the ship island, even the hangar is not fully enclosed, but the semi-open one.

This is not surprising at all, although Yan Shao also knows that in later generations, aircraft carriers are the main force at sea. But in fact, Yan Shao doesn't know much about aircraft carriers or anything, so naturally he doesn't know the importance of the ship island very well. When the ship shooters below were designing the ship, when Yan Shao found that they had not designed the ship island, Yan Shao even thought that it was because of the problem of ship construction technology in this period.

As for non-fully enclosed hangars and the like ...

Please, whether it is in the previous life or in this life, Yan Shaoke has never had the opportunity to go to the hangar of the aircraft carrier to take a walk~

So~

As mentioned earlier, although Yan Shao is very aware of the importance of aircraft carriers, in fact, Yan Shao does not know anything about this thing at all. However, even so, the Chinese Navy has accumulated considerable experience in Tongguò, the first highly professional aircraft carrier, and this aircraft carrier has indeed brought many surprises to the Navy.

First of all, with a large number of aircraft, this aircraft carrier can conduct reconnaissance activities around the fleet during the day.

The second is the twin-engine naval bomber on the deck of its aircraft carrier, although the performance is certainly not as good as the H-19 used by the army, but its ultra-long combat range is definitely not what the ships of this era can imagine.

At least in this era, any warship can only look at a target a hundred kilometers away, and what about bombers!

Although the combat radius of this twin-engine bomber is certainly not comparable with the H19's more than 600 kilometers, there is still a combat radius of more than 100 kilometers, which means that at least within the range of more than 100 kilometers, almost all of the nearby sea areas are within their strike range.

Although at the beginning, there were also disdainful statements that even if the range of such aircraft was indeed amazing, the small number of them simply could not deal a heavy blow to a fleet.

But then Yan Shao's words left them speechless.

"Maybe the number of bombers and torpedo planes on an aircraft carrier can't really damage a fleet, but that's only for one batch of bombing, what if it's multiple batches of bombing, not to mention who said that only one aircraft carrier can be put into one operation at a time? Compared with battleships, the cost of aircraft carriers is obviously much lower, and the construction time is obviously much shorter, and the price of building a battleship can be used to build multiple aircraft carriers. And as long as you gather ten aircraft carriers and the fighters on them, you can deal a heavy blow to a fleet with a light light..."

Regarding Yan Shao's words, almost all the people present at the time were speechless.

However, after understanding the importance of HNA , it is difficult to say that the navy will be willing to let HNA leave. After all, for the navy, they have invested a lot in HNA, not to mention that the importance of HNA to the navy is also absolute. (To be continued......)
