"Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back! You overshadowed me yesterday, where will I put face if I don't get back today? When the dust settled on the capital ship negotiations, Xu Jie's most concerned and most important aircraft carrier tonnage negotiations kicked off! Xu Jie is a person who holds grudges, since he wants to take revenge, then he naturally wants to commit a black hand in the most critical place of the other party. Adhering to the strategy before the negotiations, Huaxia will reduce the aircraft carrier strength of the Entente as much as possible. In order to balance the strength of both sides.

Compared with the tonnage of 500,000 tons of capital ships, the tonnage of aircraft carriers is much smaller, and the United States can have a maximum tonnage of 135,000 tons in history, which has increased in this plane, but the theoretical tonnage of the first-rate powers Huaxia and the United States has only increased to 150,000 tons. As compensation for the tonnage of the capital ship abandoned by Huaxia, Huaxia has an additional 40,000 tons of tonnage. In other words, Huaxia can build a 190,000-ton aircraft carrier! This is the treaty period, the 190,000-ton aircraft carrier during the treaty period! Thinking of this, Xu Jie woke up several times with a smile from sleep!

And what Xu Jie didn't expect was that he was thinking about how to set up a trap for Yingmei, and Yingmei himself tried every means to get in! On the first day of the aircraft carrier negotiations, the United States and Britain said that they were considering the full use of resources, and demanded that the fast battleships that the two countries should abandon can be converted into aircraft carriers! The Americans started the construction of 6 Lexington-class fast battleships, and according to the treaty, 3 or 4 fast battleships should be abolished, and the hulls of the remaining two Admiral-class fast battleships of the British have also been started, and directly throwing away tens of thousands of tons of hulls is undoubtedly a huge waste of resources in the eyes of the United States and Britain! So, these two countries have made such a request.

"You stuck your head out. If I don't kill you, I won't be able to kill you! Sure enough, in consideration of the full use of resources, Britain and the United States proposed the idea of converting unfinished fast capital ships into aircraft carriers. And Huaxia will naturally not be polite to the two countries that are sent to the door, so now, it's time for Huaxia to take action!

"As we all know, as a completely new type of ship, the aircraft carrier's measurement standard is fundamentally different from the original gunboat, and the armored cruiser and the dreadnought or even the super-dreadnought are only the changes in the caliber of the gun, the thickness of the armor and the speed of the cruise, and the classification standard of the aircraft carrier is obviously different from the battleship based on artillery. For example, a 15,000-ton aircraft carrier can actually be considered a medium-sized aircraft carrier, but even the smallest capital ship in service among countries has reached a tonnage of more than 25,000 tons. So, when setting the combat power of aircraft carriers. It is necessary not only to restrain the total tonnage of the aircraft carriers of both sides, but also to restrain the displacement of the aircraft carriers! After agreeing to the plan proposed by Britain and the United States to replace the aircraft carrier with a fast warship, the Huaxia representative immediately raised a completely new topic, which made other countries feel a little confused. Soon, however, some countries seemed to understand something. I'm afraid this topic is aimed at the super-large aircraft carriers of Britain and the United States!

It's not finished yet, though. But everyone understands that the tonnage of the British and American improved aircraft carriers will definitely be very large, first of all, their hulls are very large, and the hull with a jump of 240 meters weighs a lot of light structure, and it also has to be high-speed. Secondly, after all, it was a battleship modification, and heavy side chord armor was indispensable, even if it was weakened. Not much less. In the eyes of outsiders, Huaxia's mention is more important to limit the number of large aircraft carriers in the United States.

This statement cannot be miscalculated. Huaxia wants to limit the number of large aircraft carriers in the United States and Britain, as a traverser, Xu Jie knows more about the 2nd battle aircraft carrier than about the battleships! If it is only about aviation capabilities, then the aircraft carrier displacement must be at least 20,000 tons to have better aviation combat capabilities, for example, Yorktown-class aircraft carriers, less than this tonnage will have all kinds of problems, for example, Japan's Wyvern-type aircraft carrier deck is relatively small, the American Wasp hangar and speed comparison coffee table, as for the assault, it seems that there is no torpedo compartment, that is to say, torpedo planes cannot be used! Protection is a coffee table to a certain distance. That is to say, although the combat effectiveness of this aircraft carrier is good, but the defense is too poor, in the case of maintaining aviation combat power, if you want to have a certain protection of the core module, the tonnage must be at least about 25,000 tons, such as Japan's Zuizuru Xianghe these two ships,'

And that's not all, if you want to have enough sustained combat capability and at the same time have an armored deck, then the tonnage of this ship will continue to expand, until it is close to 30,000 tons! For example, Japan's Daiho, an armored aircraft carrier, a large deck, and a double-decker hangar, and more importantly, the amount of aviation fuel is more than twice that of Zuizuru! Only when you get to this kind of journey can you call it a perfect aircraft carrier! Of course, the premise of this qiē must be achieved with a pure aircraft carrier design, if you use the hull of a battleship to become a monk, to 40,000 tons may not be able to obtain the same combat effectiveness as Dafeng!

The purpose of Huaxia's move is to make it impossible for Britain and the United States to obtain aircraft carriers with both offensive and defensive sustained combat capabilities, or to obtain them, but the tonnage cost is too great! Of course, this is mainly aimed at the United States, which has a displacement of at least 30,000 tons of aircraft carriers converted from Lexington-class battlecruisers. There is no way around this, then the remaining restriction is that the United States has a maximum of 3 aircraft carriers of more than 27,000 tons! If the Americans change three, then their new aircraft carriers cannot exceed 20,007. If they change two, then they can also build one again. The same is true for other countries. Britain and Germany cannot have more than 3 aircraft carriers with a tonnage of more than 27,000 tons, and China? As compensation for exchanging the tonnage of 60,000 tons of capital ships for 40,000 tons, Huaxia asked for 4 ships!

In this regard, the Americans, who have always demanded a strong position, immediately protested, expressing their indignation that the Chinese can have 4 large aircraft carriers while the United States can only have 3! But then Huaxia pointed out that since the two sides want to be equal, then the United States has an advantage in the capital ship, then Huaxia will have an advantage in the aircraft carrier! If the U.S. government insists on having the same number of large aircraft carriers as Huaxia, then Huaxia will overturn the negotiating intentions reached by the two sides on capital ships. "We have made concessions on the vital tonnage of capital ships, and we have even exchanged more than 60,000 tons of capital ship tonnage for 40,000 tons of aircraft carrier tonnage, and the goodwill we have expressed has not only not been reciprocated by you, but has been regarded as weak and bullied! For this reason, we will definitely not take a step back, either you agree, or Huaxia will announce its withdrawal from naval arms negotiations! "In the end, in the face of the demands of the Americans, the Huaxia government issued an ultimatum!

"Actually, Huaxia's request is not excessive, right?" After the negotiations reached an impasse, the delegates of the participating countries decided to adjourn the meeting for three days, during which time discussions began within the Entente countries. "This is more of a battle for face, from the current point of view, there is no point in being too entangled in the size of the aircraft carrier, Britain and France have limited tonnage, naturally they will not build so many large aircraft carriers, and the Americans have already taken advantage of the tonnage of capital ships, so why can't they make some gestures on aircraft carriers? So far, we have achieved the plan we have achieved, and our main opponent is the Germans, and if China turns to Germany, whatever the final outcome of the negotiations will be, the Allies will have an overwhelming advantage. So we don't have to dwell on this issue. At the internal meeting of the Entente, the British representative said with some concern.

Britain said that the United States and China directly disputed the number of large aircraft carriers and had nothing to do with it, and Britain had a total tonnage of 120,000 tons of aircraft carriers, of which two improved admiral-class aircraft carriers accounted for more than half, and the remaining less than 60,000 tonnage The British still had to build at least three or four aircraft carriers. Naturally, it is impossible to build a larger aircraft carrier. The French are even more so! With a total tonnage of 70,000 tons, it is absolutely impossible for the French Navy to have three aircraft carriers of 27,000 tons! Therefore, Britain and France believe that there is no need for the United States to keep an eye on this issue, because this will provoke China, which will be very unfavorable to the Entente. Therefore, the dispute between the British and the United States is called the battle of face.

"We already have an advantage in the tonnage of a single ship, and our aircraft carriers have thicker armor and larger hulls, so why bother with numbers? Your country has only 150,000 tons of effective tonnage, and if you convert 3 battlecruisers into aircraft carriers, how much tonnage will you have left? In the end, under the persuasion of the British, the Americans gave up their insistence, and the result was that Huaxia could build four aircraft carriers with a displacement of more than 27,000 tons and less than 32,000 tons, while other countries could not have more than three large aircraft carriers of more than 27,000 tons if the tonnage permitted.

"It's a good result and I'm very satisfied." When he saw that the Americans finally gave in, Xu Jie began to think about the future aircraft carrier construction plan, a total of 190,000 tons of aircraft carrier tonnage, according to the standard of 30,000 tons of large armored aircraft carriers, 4 ships are 120,000 tons, and there are 70,000 tons left, the initial exploration is essential, it may be necessary to build one or two more than 10,000 tons first, and then 20,000 tons, and finally make a large armored aircraft carrier, this tonnage is enough for China to accumulate experience in the construction of aircraft carriers.

After a series of battles between the major powers, the tonnage of the capital ship was finally decided, then the rest is the cruiser, as a warship that also has no precedent, the countries have launched a fierce confrontation in the type, number and tonnage of the cruiser and armament, this time, the situation is more complicated than the former capital ship and aircraft carrier, because the cruiser needs to take into account the two standards of escorting and performing the tasks of part of the capital ship, and it can be said that any country's understanding and use of cruisers are different!
