It should be said that at this time, under such circumstances, Liu Qingshan was still very satisfied with the battle plan proposed by General Hibit. Yes, it is. After all, in the current situation, the only option is to project troops remotely to that Ariana Island in a two-pronged manner.

Although, there is still a lot to be done to achieve this combat strategy. In particular, how to restructure their own carrier-based aircraft and change their existing combat performance is a key issue. Because before that, the main combat performance of those carrier-based aircraft, that is, carried out aerial bombardment. Yes, when these carrier-based aircraft were originally designed, they were considered in such a goal. But now, things have changed. According to General Hibbit's construction, those carrier-based aircraft must be restructured, so that they can carry out the necessary changes in roles and functions. From the original bomber, it has been transformed into an air transport aircraft capable of long-range projection of troops.

Not long ago, Liu Qingshan made a long-range call to the captain of that aircraft carrier, that is, Captain Alira, through the guò long-range communication system. It should be said that the one on the Alila ship, I think for it, is still very recognizable to this matter. Although, from his words, Liu Qingshan will have some difficulties in listening. However, this situation was also expected by Liu Qingshan.

After all, it is not a matter of one sentence to restructure a fighter that has already taken shape. There are many aspects to this. First of all, there is the performance, structure of such carrier-based aircraft. After all, these carrier-based aircraft were originally designed for aerial bombardment. Therefore, the space is relatively small, although it cannot be loaded with a certain amount of ammunition, but in order for them to carry a certain number of infantry combat forces, those are fundamentally two other concepts. Countermeasures, Liu Qingshan knows very well in his heart.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Therefore, in this case, in order to successfully modify those carrier-based aircraft, this is naturally a premise. The second aspect is that you have to train your own ground fighters. Because, these ground combat team members, although it is said, when conducting ground operations, they are very strong in attacking cities and grabbing land. After all, they are all battle-hardened soldiers, and whether it is combat ability or psychological intelligence, it is absolutely first-class.

However, despite this, then again, ground combat and airborne landing are, after all, two different concepts. These ground combat units, though, are very good when they are fighting on the ground. They are all one-in-a-hundred characters. However, it is not always possible to land in the air. Therefore, for this issue, Liu Qingshan also has sufficient consideration.

So, after thinking of this again, Liu Qingshan connected the long-distance communication phone with the captain of Alila this time. Then, Liu Qingshan said thoughtfully: "Captain Alila, I am very satisfied with your statement. It seems that you should be very confident in carrying out the transformation of the combat functions of our carrier-based aircraft. However, in terms of specific programmatic measures, I think, you don't have any ideas? ”

It should be said that Liu Qingshan has always respected the thoughts of his subordinates very much. Because he has always pursued the behavioral concept of everyone collecting firewood and high flames. Only by fully allowing his subordinates to express their opinions and give full play to their wisdom and talents can we do things better. Liu Qingshan is very aware of this, and he has always been loyal to what he has done. In addition, it has received very good results. This time, Liu Qingshan did the same. He thought he should listen to the Captain Arira first, even though he had his own way of thinking before that.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At this moment, after listening to Liu Qingshan's words, the captain of the Alila pondered for a while, and then he said thoughtfully: "Commander-in-chief, I think that in order to realize the transformation of the combat functions of our carrier-based aircraft, the most important point is that our carrier-based aircraft must be modified. We know that when these carrier-based aircraft were originally designed, they were mainly designed to carry out aerial bombardment. Moreover, as carrier-based aircraft, their own space is not very large, and maneuverability and flexibility are the main characteristics of carrier-based aircraft.

In this way, it has a direct impact on the actual space of this carrier-based aircraft in a large way. And another kind of performance of theirs. Therefore, with such limited space and such capabilities, it can be said that it is basically impossible to carry a certain number of infantry combat forces. Therefore, this is one issue that must be addressed first.

"In addition, commander-in-chief, if you want to solve this problem, you can say that you must return to our Moon Bay Naval Base. Because on our aircraft carriers, there are only fighters, although there are some engineers, but their main task is only to carry out repairs and maintenance. And for further modifications, such work is simply not able to be completed. So, Commander-in-Chief, we must now return our aircraft carriers to Moon Bay Air Base, and only then can we complete the conversion of these carrier-based aircraft there. ”

After Liu Qingshan heard this, he couldn't help but nod slightly, and then said, "Captain Alila, we really coincide. Modification of carrier-based aircraft, this is the first thing to do. However, the aircraft carrier Air France Moon Bay naval base, the cycle is too long. In this case, the fighter will be delayed. Therefore, can we consider rushing to the Moon Bay Naval Base to transport some senior engineers here to work directly on the aircraft carrier? In this way, it should be possible to improve or retrofit the efficiency. ”

At this time, after listening to Liu Qingshan's words, the captain of the Alila suddenly realized, and then continued: "Commander-in-chief, it should be said that this plan of yours is indeed able to speed up the modification of carrier-based aircraft in a very large way. So, in that case, let's take action now. In the next step, I have another idea, that is, we should select our infantry combat forces and strengthen training. After all, as the Airborne Forces, in fact, should have a higher prime. Not everyone is up to the mark. I wonder what the commander-in-chief thinks? ”

After Liu Qingshan heard this, he nodded again, and then said, "Captain Alila, it should be said that the ideas of the two of us almost coincide. In this way, I will leave the matter of training of the Airborne Forces to you. You don't have to worry about the issue of the modification of carrier-based aircraft, and now, I will immediately send someone to escort seven senior engineers from our Moon Bay Naval Base here and start the modification immediately. Without further ado, time is very tight for us. Now, let's split up. ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

After hanging up the long-range communication phone of the captain of Arira, Liu Qingshan immediately connected to the long-range communication system of the Moon Bay Naval Base, and then, Liu Qingshan asked sharply: "Is it the Moon Bay Naval Base, now, you will immediately select a few engineers of the highest level, and when the hour is over, immediately escort them to Ariana Island." Sue them, for them, this is a glorious mission. After escorting them here, General Hibbit returned and gave them a specific explanation. Do you understand? ”

After hearing this, the commander of the Moon Bay Naval Base immediately gave a standard military salute to the long-range communication system in front of him, and even Liu Qingshan could hear a snap at the other end of the long-range communication system. This well-trained style, it should be said, can be reflected even in ordinary conversations. This naturally made Liu Qingshan feel very satisfied.

Then, the commander of the Moon Bay Naval Base said categorically to Liu Qingshan: "Commander-in-chief, please rest assured, we already know the importance of this mission. Now, we will immediately select a few senior engineers and transport them by speedboat to the vicinity of Ariana Island. I don't know what the commander-in-chief thinks? ”

After hearing this, Liu Qingshan pondered for a while, as if he remembered something, and then continued: "This, in this way, you can temporarily select those engineers with the highest level, and then, as for the way of transporting them, to the front line, waiting for my orders." ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The reason why Liu Qingshan said this was because suddenly, he remembered something. That is, not long ago, he had received a message from Mr. Pitt from the base camp military base that it was very likely that in the near future, a new type of aerial vehicle would be produced. This new type of air vehicle can take off at any time without the help of the runway, and above and below, so that the maneuverability and flexibility have been further improved. Moreover, they have named this new type of aircraft, which is called a gunship.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Yes, it should be said that Liu Qingshan has always been very interested in the newly developed new aerial vehicle of ABP. After all, although they had been able to produce some of the most advanced fighters before that, these fighters, all of which were fighters, had the main function of bombing from the air. Of course, they also have the ability to produce air transport aircraft. However, whether it is a fighter, a bomber, or an air transport aircraft, it must be used on the runway. In this way, they also have a large range of dù, which greatly limits their mobility and flexibility. For this point, Liu Qingshan has always felt that it is a constraint.

Therefore, in this case, since Liu Qingshan reached the information that General Hibit was sent by himself, he was naturally very happy. Needless to say, this new type of aerial vehicle is naturally developed by relying on some information extracted from the scientific and technological fragments left over from the Bat Interstellar Alliance, and then processed and transformed. Naturally, in terms of technical content, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

If this so-called aerial helicopter is really successfully developed, then it will indeed play an extremely important role for itself. Because this kind of air helicopter can take off and land directly, without resorting to the runway at all. In this way, they will greatly improve their mobility and flexibility in a large range, and their use will be more extensive. Although, according to Mr. Pitt's report, the flight speed of this aerial helicopter may not be very fast, but, naturally, compared to other means of transport, it is not known how many times faster. Therefore, after thinking of this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but once again connect to the remote communication phone of Mr. Pete of the Science and Technology Research Center in terms of the headquarters base of the individual soldiers.

"Mr. Pete, I'm Liu Qingshan, I'm Liu Qingshan. How is it, these days, are you okay with Ms. Mei Ting? It's been a long time since we've seen each other, Mr. Pete, and really, I miss you so much. Liu Qingshan said to Mr. Pitt sincerely.

Soon, Mr. Pete said to Liu Qingshan on the other side of the telecommunication system: "Ha, it turned out to be the commander-in-chief. Commander-in-chief, I'm good here, and Ms. Mei Ting is also very good. It should be said that it has been a long time since I have come to visit Ms. Mei Ting. How's it going, what's the fighting like at the front? ”

Liu Qingshan smiled, and then continued: "Mr. Pete, now, we have encountered a little problem on the front line. This beach-rushing landing operation did not succeed in building our logistical supply center. Moreover, because the other side is on that Ariana Island, there are too many heavy combat weapons deployed, especially their advanced heavy tanks, which are very numerous. However, on our side, because we have not been able to build a logistics supply center, in this case, naturally, our Lion series heavy tanks will not be able to land on the beach. So, the battle during this time, it should be said, was not very good. ”

After hearing this, Mr. Pitt pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Commander-in-chief, don't worry. No matter how many heavy tanks the enemy deployed on that Ariana Island, their strength was only temporary. For them, this is also definitely the end of the crossbow. So, commander-in-chief, as long as we persevere, I think that the Ariana Island, the final combat force that defeats the other side, should be just around the corner. ”

After hearing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but smile slightly, and then continued: "Mr. Pete, you are waiting for reinforcements to block and extend, but now, if we want to solve the problems we are facing now, there is only one way to solve the dilemma that Dapo is facing now, that is, we should project the maximum combat force on that Ariana Island in the shortest possible time." Only in this way will it be possible to truly form sufficient and necessary combat effectiveness.

"Mr. Pete, it should be said, the crux of the matter is whether we can really hold back the enemy's counterattack so that we can build our logistical supply center on the beach in a limited time. However, this goal is not so easy to achieve. Basically, it all depends on whether our infantry combat forces projected onto the beach can stop the enemy's attack.

"Therefore, judging from the current conditions of our existence, only by transporting a sufficient number of riflemen combat units to that Ariana Island to form the most powerful combat force to the maximum extent can we gain more time for the establishment of the supply center. Proceeding from this point, we have studied and considered that if we can use more ways and more ways to carry out long-range force projection, then this problem can be easily solved.

"Judging from the current situation, we mainly rely on troop carriers for troop projection. But now, we have thought of another way to send the force, and that is to carry out the airborne. Therefore, according to this line of thinking, first of all, we should make full use of our two airfields in the Misikrumbi area and the Maga Plain area, respectively, so that all the long-range strategic bombers stationed there, all carrying our infantry combat units, will fly over the Ariana Island at the appointed time, ready to carry out airborne operations at any time.

"However, relying on the long-range strategic bombers of those two air bases, I think, is not enough. Therefore, in this case, I plan to rely mainly on the dozen or so carrier-based aircraft parked on our aircraft carriers to carry out long-range force projection. However, Mr. Pitt, those carrier-based aircraft, when they were originally designed, were mainly designed to carry out aerial bombing. Moreover, this carrier-based aircraft, their size itself is not very large, therefore, the ability to load infantry combat units is not very strong.

"So, in this case, I think we can completely modify those carrier-based aircraft. From an ordinary air bomber, it was converted into an air transport aircraft capable of carrying a certain number of infantry combat forces. Then, it mainly played the role of more than a dozen carrier-based aircraft, and landed on the Ariana Island, through guò airborne, and cooperated with troop carriers to jointly complete the long-range force projection.

"In this way, we will be able to use more ways, more ways, more means, in the shortest possible time, to deliver more combat forces to that Ariana Island. Only in this way can we truly form combat effectiveness and truly and effectively block the counterattack launched by the enemy. Thus, for the establishment of our logistics supply center, we will gain valuable time. This is our concept of operations. Mr. Pete, I wonder what your opinion is on this? ”

When Mr. Pitt heard this, he muttered for a long time, thoughtful. To tell the truth, the will to lie on the back of a couch horse is a scientific researcher, although the commander-in-chief Liu Qingshan has always trusted him very much, and he also has great respect, but in terms of military command, it is not his specialty, nor is it his business scope. But this time, Liu Qingshan, the commander-in-chief, actually made such a detailed analysis of a certain combat idea that he had saved himself at length, and for a while, he felt a little unable to turn around.
