"The first large-scale naval battle between the Central and Entente powers finally came to an end, and as expected, the Germans emerged victorious. Fortunately, the main forces of the Allied fleet were still there, but the carrier-based aircraft forces suffered heavy losses. If nothing else, the U.S. fleet will choose to return home after a slight correction. We could just join forces with the American fleet and deal with the Germans all the way. Summer summed up the battle of the Atlantic in a rough way.

"How's the Navy's preparations going? I don't want anything to go wrong in the first battle of the Navy. The big war is coming, and Xu Jie is also a little nervous. The Navy claims to be the arm that can decide the outcome of an entire war in one afternoon. The fragility of the large main force made Xu Jie have to be prepared as well. And from the just-concluded Atlantic naval battle, Xu Jie found that the attack power of the Germans was still somewhat beyond Huaxia's previous estimates. originally thought that the Allied fleet equipped with a large number of Spitfire 9 fighters could block this wave of fierce attacks from the other side, but who knew that in the end, the Allied countries still lost 5 aircraft carriers, and this was still under the condition that the Entente countries were fully defending

"I have to say that before our 40,000-ton supercarrier is put into service, there is still a certain gap between our aircraft carrier formation and the Germans, the Germans' Europa-type aircraft carriers are larger than our 30,000-ton Heilongjiang-class aircraft carriers, these aircraft carriers can take off and land twin-engine attack aircraft, and these killers who can carry various electronic equipment and guided weapons reflect a combat effectiveness far greater than their proportion, More than half of the losses of the Allied fleet were inflicted by less than one-sixth of the twin-engine aircraft, and their precise attacks and super-powerful weapons were so terrible that it could even be said that all the current warships could not stop such an attack. The 100mm armored flight deck could not stop the 1-ton armor-piercing projectiles falling from a high altitude. If we hit, we can only hope that we don't hit the vital point," Su Mo's calm words were filled with some helplessness.

The Germans already had 3 large aircraft carriers of the Europa type, so it was possible to organize an air fleet with a larger twin-engine attack aircraft. But Huaxia can't, and the tonnage of Huaxia's 30,000-ton standard aircraft carrier can only carry a small number of twin-engine early warning aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft. That is to say, at present, the aircraft carrier formation of Huaxia has only increased the fleet's perception and electronic warfare capabilities, but the attack power has not been substantially improved.

"We currently have a total of 10 aircraft carriers that can be dispatched at any time, and two new 40,000-ton supercarriers are forming combat effectiveness, which is not suitable for pulling into the battlefield now. The two Liaoning-class aircraft carriers are lightly protected medium-sized fleet aircraft carriers, and they undertake the task of training on naval aviation ships. And the defense itself is not enough. So they are not suitable for the battlefield, and we can only mobilize 8 30,000-ton armored aircraft carriers. From the current point of view, the strength of this fleet is enough to cope with the current situation. After Su Mo finished speaking, he motioned to Xu Yandong, who was in charge of naval aviation operations next to him, to continue the following analysis.

"Our planned eight armored aircraft carriers can carry more than 850 aircraft of all kinds, including 40 twin-engine aircraft carrying radar and electronic warfare equipment. The remaining 800 aircraft are new Skuas fighters and single-engine attack aircraft based on Skuas. I have to say that your vision is really unique, and after being equipped with a new 2350 hp twin-row 18-cylinder engine, the performance of the Skua fighter has been significantly improved. Although there is still a little gap between the climb rate and the Stone Tea Falcon, the low-altitude speed and firepower are definitely first-class. Xu Yandong patted the ass a little first.

Although the Skua fighter of this plane is derived from the historical pirate fighter. But it is better than its ancestors, first of all, the iconic inverted gull-shaped wing of the Corsair has been replaced, and the advantages of this layout are not great, and the weight is rigid, and the processing is also very difficult. The change to a laminar wing improves the aircraft's performance at high speeds and reduces weight. Now, the Huaxia version of the pirate has finally reduced the empty weight to about 3.6 tons, which is quite good compared to the original empty weight of more than 4 tons. The new twin-row 18-cylinder engine, which was specially designed for the Skua fighter, was also more powerful and lighter than the engines used in the early Corsairs in history.

This is not to say that the technology of this plane has surpassed the engines of the mid-life pirate models by n years in advance, but it has adopted the right trade-offs. For example, the historical Corsair 1D used a 2-stage 2-speed supercharged engine, and the supercharging was to eat the engine power, and the more stages were added, the lower the power that the engine could actually use. Generally speaking, it will be better for the two-stage supercharged fighter to adapt to the new, for example, the Spitfire Mustang Viking in the 2nd World War These fighters are all two-stage supercharged, but considering the height of the naval fighter battle, the two-stage supercharging is actually a bit of a luxury, after all, generally speaking, the naval fighter does not need to fly to an altitude of more than 7000 meters to fight, more emphasis is on the ability to fight at low and medium altitudes, and the requirements for horsepower are also better. The so-called low-altitude combat looks at horsepower, and high-altitude combat looks at pressurization. Therefore, considering the problems of cost and operational needs, the first high-power engine equipped by Huaxia for the Skua fighter used a first-stage three-speed supercharger.

In this plane, Huaxia's lightweight version of the Corsair fighter has a maximum flight speed of more than 700 kilometers at 6,000 meters, and the maximum speed at sea level has exceeded 600 kilometers, and the initial climb at sea level has reached more than 4,000 feet per minute, and the fuel load is also 900 liters. The data of the Skua 3 fighter using high-standard oil has been able to surpass the historical FW190D aircraft. Plus 4 powerful Sispano 20mm cannons and a new K14 computational sight. The Skua fighter can be described as amazing, and even at low altitudes, it can suppress the Shicha Falcon fighter used by the Huaxia Air Force, and the gap at high altitude is not large, and this new and improved version finally reversed people's bad reviews of the Skua series, and was known as the pheasant fènghuáng within the Huaxia Navy

Historically, the Corsair and the FW190 have one thing in common, that is, they have excellent versatility. The FW190 fighter could be used as a bomber, and there were even torpedo-mounted models, as did the Corsair. Not to mention the AU1, a magic modified attack aircraft of the same level as the AD1, the Corsair fighter that served in World War 2 alone can hang 2 small Tim rockets and 8 5-inch rockets, with a total weight of more than 1.5 tons, and the maximum single load capacity is nearly 1 ton

If it is only a dive bomber, the Skua 3 fighter can be concurrent, and the difficulty is still in the torpedo plane. It is difficult for an ordinary fighter to install a torpedo without modification. Through the efforts of the aviation technology department of the Chinese Navy, the Skua 3T attack aircraft, as a torpedo machine, has strengthened the fuselage structure while reducing its speed, and can mount two torpedoes in the lower part of the belly of the aircraft, and at the same time can hang two 150L auxiliary fuel tanks under the wings, of course. In this case, the take-off weight will reach about 8 tons, and if it is not in a particularly backward position, it will have to be taken off with a catapult.

Thanks to the powerful twin hornet engines, the aircraft can still reach a cruising speed of about 450 kilometers per hour when fully loaded with bombs, and the top sprint speed can reach more than 620 kilometers per hour, of course. If the two auxiliary fuel tanks are thrown away, the speed will increase, so to speak, in addition to not being able to carry guided weapons, the combat performance of the Skua 3T attack aircraft can already suppress the twin-engine aircraft of the Germans. Weapon loads do not suffer. It's faster, and of course the range is shorter.

From the point of view of operational concepts, the Chinese Navy and the German Navy are extremely similar, both require the high-speed and generalization of carrier-based aircraft groups, the only difference is in technology, although the German FW190 fighter is very powerful, but subject to a smaller body and sad engine, these are known as the most ferocious shrike of the Second Empire and born from the pirates compared with the skura is much worse, not to mention anything else, BMW801's excessive dead weight and output of only 1700 to 1800 horsepower are much worse than the smaller weight of the double wasp and the output of 2350 horsepower, and the only gap between China and the Germans is that it has not realized the large-scale launch of twin-engine carrier-based aircraft and guided weapons. Of course, judging from the configuration of the carrier-based aircraft group of the German aircraft carrier fleet, the proportion of twin-engine attack aircraft is still very low, but relying on a huge base, the Germans can still save up hundreds of twin-engine attack aircraft. And Huaxia can't do it now, only after the CVX03 type municipality-class aircraft carrier enters service

Although it is impossible to assemble a large-scale twin-engine attack aircraft, Huaxia's eight 30,000-ton fleet aircraft carriers are still equipped with 30 twin-engine aircraft, and the main task of these twin-engine aircraft is to serve as maritime radar warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, and long-range reconnaissance aircraft. As a traverser, Xu Jie has always wanted to emulate the early warning aircraft of later generations and install a huge antenna on the upper part of the fuselage of the twin-engine carrier-based aircraft, after this plan was proposed. First of all, the Navy affirmed the foresight of this technology, and also admitted that this radar located in the upper part of the fuselage does have a better detection effect. And said that in the future, Huaxia's 4-engine large early warning aircraft will adopt this layout, but it is a pity that the carrier-based twin-engine aircraft can not do this, first of all, this will greatly increase the height of the fuselage of the twin-engine early warning aircraft, and the hangar may not be able to fit and relative to the size of the twin-engine aircraft, the radar antenna on the upper part of the fuselage has too much impact on the maneuverable layout of the aircraft. Seriously affect take-off and landing performance.

"If there are no major discrepancies in the information provided by the American fleet, is it understandable that the German naval aviation has also been broken in this battle? Although the aircraft carrier fleet is still in place, but the carrier-based aircraft forces will be in a weak state for quite some time? "After introducing the situation of the Huaxia fleet, it is time to discuss tactical issues, and before discussing this issue, you must first know the situation of the opponent, so Xu Jie specifically asked about the situation of the German fleet.

"The Germans have indeed suffered heavy losses, and the Americans say that the Germans have lost at least half of their carrier-based aircraft is in line with the actual situation, but it may not be enough to say that the combat effectiveness is weak, because the German Navy has a "carrier-based aircraft force on the shore", and the training of this force is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the carrier-based aircraft unit, and even each formation has arranged corresponding aircraft carriers. Their role is to immediately replenish the aircraft carrier in the event of damage to the carrier-based aircraft force, and the size of this air force is about 800 aircraft, which can basically make up for the loss of the carrier-based aircraft force. Of course, a decrease in fighting qualities is certain. Also, according to our intelligence, there may be problems with the replenishment of the German twin-engine attack aircraft. On the one hand, the bombers equipped with guided weapons were themselves expensive and few in number, and on the other hand, the Germans seemed to have transferred them to the Spanish and French occupation zones. Zhang Yuntao, who was in charge of intelligence on the side, reported.

"Well, transferred to Spain and France?" Xu Jie fell into deep thought, "It seems that the Entente fleet has also withdrawn somewhere." It seems that the Germans want to cut the grass and eradicate it" Xu Jie quickly thought of the plan of the Germans, the next step of the Germans will definitely hit the sea and air forces to attack the remaining fleet of the Entente off the coast of France, and now the Allied fleet only has about 1,000 aircraft, and the excellent performance of the Spitfire 9 fighter is the loss of most of the half, according to the situation of the Allied air force in France, the help that can be provided is also very limited. This time, it will depend on the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia Air Force.

"Tell the Americans and the British that the Chinese fleet will cross the Pacific in 1 month. And even if the sea transportation line is broken, Huaxia's Foxbat fighter force will still support the Royal Air Force according to the flight routes of the United States, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and the United Kingdom. And the number of aircraft reinforced weekly will be even higher. Xu Jie turned to the confidential secretary next to him and said. This passage has two meanings, the first is to prepare the Americans for another battle, and the second is to relieve Britain and the United States of worries, so that they can devote more combat power to ensure the safety of the fleet in the next battle.

There is no need to be afraid of the 500kg bombs and torpedoes carried by conventional aircraft, but the real horror is those heavy bombs weighing up to a ton. It is precisely because of the existence of these big guys that the Huaxia Air Force is a little jealous. Otherwise, if the simple pirate improved version plays FW190, Huaxia is not afraid at all.

"Replace all the ship's anti-aircraft shells with radio proximity fuse shells. Guided weapons are used at a relatively high height, and they hit far, and generally 40mm guns cannot threaten at all, and the fire density of 5-inch guns is not enough, and now they can only make up for it with shells. Xu Jie hesitated, and definitely put the biggest bargaining chip in Huaxia at present, and the radio proximity fuse was actually used in the Iran war, but it has not been installed on a large scale, partly because of secrecy, and on the other hand, because it is too expensive, precision radio fuses and high R&D and manufacturing funds, making the price of these shells terrible

"Remember, this is the first large-scale battle of our Huaxia Navy in almost 30 years. The glory on the battle flag of the Chinese Navy is exchanged for the blood of the soldiers of the past dynasties, and whether we can take the initiative in the future war depends on how this war is fought, please leave it to you," Xu Jie finally concluded.
