"Okay, everyone, Yan Boxun has already said it, I think everyone should understand one thing, that is, aircraft carriers are not bigger than better, and the reason why British and American aircraft carriers are big is because of their hulls, we can achieve better performance with smaller tonnage. As for the question of how to build the third-class aircraft carrier, that is a matter for later, in short, now I think that the standard displacement of the second-class aircraft carrier should not exceed 32,000 tons! Of course, the external nominal is 28,000 tons. It is expected that we will build 4 ships as the main force of our navy's sea-based aviation forces during the treaty period! Seeing that the discussion between the two sides was almost over, Xu Jie made the final decision.

After finalizing the tonnage of the aircraft carrier, the rest has nothing to do with Yang Yonglin and others, and the hard-working Comrade Yan Boxun needs to continue his design work by himself and start busy with the second class aircraft carrier in China. Overall, the Huaxia II-class aircraft carrier can be seen as an optimization and improvement of the Japanese Navy's Taiho-class aircraft carrier in history, with the same armored deck and the same double-decker hangar. EVEN THE DEFENSE STANDARD IS ABOUT THE SAME, IT'S NOT THAT XU JIE DOESN'T WANT TO GO UP, BUT THE FLIGHT DECK IS ALMOST THE LIMIT WHEN IT REACHES A THICKNESS OF 100MM, EVEN IF IT IS THE SIZE OF SHINANO'S HULL, IT IS STILL IMPOSSIBLE TO RESIST 800KG ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS, BECAUSE THE WEIGHT OF THE UPPER ARMOR PLATE IS TOO HEAVY, AND IT IS A LITTLE UNBEARABLE TO USE THE BOX-SHAPED SUPPORT.

Xu Jie's improvements based on the Dafeng-class aircraft carrier include the following points: First, the height of the original double-decker hangar should be increased, at least 5 meters or so, and the problem of deepening the draft caused by the increased weight should be solved by adding a lightning protection protrusion. Furthermore. Instead of the hull amidships, the entire aircraft carrier hangar is a flat deck on the upper part of the hangar, and two foldable side chord lifts are deployed on the port side. Deploy a lift on the starboard side. Because the lower hangar is almost close to the waterline, the three lifts only communicate with the upper hangar and cannot communicate with the lower hangar. Although this layout is a bit cumbersome, it at least avoids the situation that the elevator is arranged on the central axis and then destroyed or stuck by a bomb.

At the same time, because of the elimination of an intermediate lift (the other one is used to communicate between the upper and lower hangars, but it is not open on the flight deck, it will still occupy the hull space. The effective length of the hangar increased by about 15 meters, and the final effective hangar length reached about 165 meters. Advance does not necessarily increase the carrier capacity.

Secondly. It is to deploy an inclined deck with an inclination of about 8 degrees on the port side of the hull. (Don't think that all angled decks must protrude like aircraft carriers like Essex or Dreadnought, interested readers can Baidu the information on the installation of inclined decks of British light aircraft carriers, the hull has not changed much) A catapult is planned to be deployed on this inclined deck. It is also possible to launch an emergency catapult aircraft when necessary. But the biggest purpose is to place the plane that fails to take off and land and crashes directly into the plane in front. Historically, before the sloping deck came out, in order to place an aircraft that failed to land, it was generally blocked by a barrage net in order to place an aircraft parked at the front of the deck. Even if the plane is stopped, I am afraid that it will cause very serious losses.

One of the biggest benefits of the sloping deck when it first appeared was that it could be re-flown around. Once the landing failed. You can continue to pull up. Avoided the nightmare of bumping into each other. Of course, it is not that the angle directly to the central axis is larger and larger, because if the angle is too large, the difference between the sailing angle and the battleship will be larger, and the landing will be adversely affected by the synthetic customs and the speed of the battleship. So the angle is the best, although the most suitable angle is Xu Jie can't remember clearly, but Xu Jie remembers that the earliest aircraft carrier was a 6-degree inclined deck, and now he has an 8-degree one, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Let's take the rest to figure it out. And because of the beveled deck, the width of the entire aircraft carrier will also increase a little. As for how much. It's up to Yan Boxun and their design.

The third direction of improvement is to equip the fire extinguishing and ventilation equipment of the whole ship with independent diesel engines as power. In case the fire extinguishing and ventilation equipment of the entire battleship is paralyzed by the damage to the power compartment, additional protection is provided for important power lines, and backup lines are prepared to avoid power outages.

The fourth change is the addition of an optical landing device. Although Xu Jie was born in the navy, he is not a personnel on an aircraft carrier, and he only knows a concept of optical landing, and knows that there will not be a series of things like traffic lights at the stern of the ship. But how it works and the details are not clear, and this thing can only be a concept, so that the people below can slowly explore.

The last change is the change of the power system, which ship power in the world was stronger at the beginning of World War II? Naturally, France was unmistakable, whether it was the Fantasy, one of the fastest super destroyers at the time (it was said that there was a faster, the name was forgotten!). It was also the fastest battleship at that time, and the power system of the ships of the French 2nd World War has always been known for its low weight and large power. The Utopia, with its design power of 93,000 horsepower, can actually run for 8 hours with 105,000 horsepower, or nearly 120,000 horsepower for 1 hour. (It is said that the power weight of the Fantasy is just over 1,000 tons, but it is said.) Among the new ships in Europe, the Richelieu has the lowest power weight, but the largest power output. The output of 178,000 hp is unrivaled. This technique does not say in Europe, even the United States did not have such a good performance in the early days of the war.

So Xu Jie decided to introduce French boiler and turbine technology. It is used on Huaxia's own aircraft carrier, so it is estimated that it can save a lot of space and weight. At the same time, the new ship will also retain another advantage of Dafeng, that is, the amount of aviation fuel is sufficient, historically Dafeng's aviation fuel is 1,000 tons, which is twice as high as that of the Xianghe! The latter has an aviation fuel capacity of only 495 tons. In short, after such improvements, the new generation of Huaxia aircraft carriers will definitely be much stronger than the historical Dafeng. Of course, it comes at the cost of a lot more weight. According to the final calculations, the tonnage of Huaxia's new aircraft carrier will be more than 32,000 tons.

According to the plan and the remaining tonnage, Huaxia could complete 4 such warships. In that case, the total tonnage of the Chinese navy's aircraft carriers will be about 150,000 tons during the treaty period. There are 40,000 tons left. How exactly is this tonnage used? Xu Jie also made some difficulties, according to the treaty, it is impossible to build more warships of more than 27,000 tons, so the only thing left is to build two aircraft carriers of more than 20,000 tons. This tonnage can be described as high or low. Considering that the aviation forces of both the Entente and the Allied countries are more ferocious in this plane, no matter which one Huaxia opposes, the aircraft carrier will be under tremendous pressure, so Xu Jie still wants to build two armored aircraft carriers.

Why don't you take out the armored aircraft carrier that was given to Italy in the first place? Xu Jie thought about it and felt pretty good, a single-story hangar is a single-story hangar. Anyway, this class of aircraft carriers is not going to be used until the end of the war. Even if he survives, it is estimated that he will retire in a few years. In this way, China can have 8 fleet aircraft carriers, while the United States has a maximum of 5 to 6 fleet aircraft carriers, and Britain has almost 4 to 5 aircraft carriers. And Germany should be about 5 ships. And Austria-Hungary, France and Italy should be about 3 ships. As for the little brothers of the Allies, it would be good if they could make up 3 ships.

If China is a country against one group, it will definitely not work, but if it can remain neutral or join forces with one of the groups against the other, then the odds of victory are very great. If nothing else, the Entente and the Central Powers will meet each other at some point in the future, and Huaxia will choose to join one of them depending on the situation. During the First World War, China did not directly participate in the war for the sake of Siberia, and the Second World War was the last chance to change the map. Huaxia plans to take advantage of this opportunity to make another handful!

And after having a fleet, the next step is the layout of the fleet, according to Xu Jie's assumption, the two Liaoning-class good air carriers are not suitable for cruel sea fighting, their protection is too poor. Therefore, the formation of these two aircraft carriers will be deployed in the Yellow Sea, with Lushun Dalian as a base, and will be responsible for the training of naval aviation. The four capital aircraft carriers of more than 30,000 tons will be divided into two battle groups. One of them will be deployed in the South Seas, based in the former Batavia, and the other will be deployed in the East China Sea, based in Shanghai. The last two armored aircraft carriers in their early 20,000s will be based in Haikou and ready to fight south at any time.

"I hope the Germans get acquainted with each other." Such a layout will be completely a posture of crossing the Strait of Malacca at any time, and it is impossible to use it to guard against Britain, and Britain at this time is no longer qualified to let China be on guard. The originally very weak aircraft carrier fleet will be divided into two groups. One group defended the homeland, and the other defended India. Such a deployment could only be used to contain the fleet of the Central Powers led by Germany!

But what Xu Jie didn't expect was that Germany's will to expand was so firm and acted so quickly, just after the end of the war, when all countries were licking their wounds, Germany had already begun to lay down shadows! And the first opponent targeted by the Germans this time was actually their former ally, Italy, which had made great contributions to the Allied countries in World War 1!

A man who had once been famous in history came to the stage of history, and his task was to find another equally famous guy to overthrow the whole of Italy and make it firmly on the side of the Central Powers. Kaiser Wilhelm II took this plan very seriously, and even many of the top brass of the army did not know much about it, they only knew that if a guy named Ribbentrop wanted some help, they had to offer it without reservation!
