In the following years, with the completion of a large number of submarine fleets of the Far East Navy, the huge role of attack submarines in offshore operations was once again demonstrated. Therefore, countries around the world have turned their attention back to the attacks that they had long ridiculed and forgotten.
On the submarine.
Fortunately, when various countries noticed the advantages of submarines, the Far East Navy had already begun to enter the second era of submarine development. With the emergence of faults, the research and development speed of various countries at that time was slow. Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity at that time, the Far East sold a large number of Z-1 types.
Attack submarines have created a large number of arms purchases for the Far East Group, but they are just arms purchases.
Because the Z-2 attack submarine built in the Far East has greatly improved its range and diving capabilities, and has designed and developed a large strategic submarine according to Li Ningyu's instructions, and has directly jumped the double-hull structure, and the power system has also been greatly improved.
The power and ability to continue sailing are improved, and the torpedo tubes are also increased to at least five.
Countries around the world got prototypes of submarines from the Far East, and they quickly divided into two groups. Some dismantled the Far East Z-1 attack submarine, then made technical transformations, and then started building their own first attack submarines. The other group directly
To avoid the stage of high research and development costs, it mainly adopts the form of purchase and immediately supplements it to the coastal defense.
However, each country has its own style. Some do not agree with the appearance of the Far East Z-1 attack submarine. They think that the submarine's attack capability is a bit flashy. The submarine can only be used for offshore reconnaissance. A maritime ship that can truly be used as an offensive ship should
It has a strong counterattack capability, so both the Germans and the British prefer European-style submarines, which are equipped with weapons such as small rapid-fire artillery and heavy machine guns on the outside of the submarine. Not only can they attack with torpedoes underwater,
It can also be used to attack enemies on the sea surface.
France missed the first stage of submarines. For the Far East, which has already taken the lead in the field of submarines, the French despise such weapons. However, France has always been keen on the navy. When new things appear, the French are still bolder to try.
Therefore, after purchasing the Far East Z-1 submarine, the French government at that time paid extra attention to it, and was the first European submarine to develop a European submarine that was comparable to the Far East Z-1 attack submarine.
With the arrival of the late 19th century, the French Navy's first attack submarine was launched, with an underwater displacement of up to 310 tons. Similar to the Z-1 attack submarine, it used a petrol-electric hybrid system to drive the propeller to move the submarine forward.
It can be regarded as the first country in Europe to have the most advanced submarine manufacturing capabilities.
Because the latest submarines launched by the Americans are still limited to less than 300 tons, all this means that France does not lag behind the Far East in terms of submarines, and is even more advanced than the Z-1 submarine in the Far East in many places, mainly because France
It has a strong industrial background as support, and after all, the Far East is still a nascent system.
But the French are not as far-sighted as the Germans. Not only did they install a series of artillery systems on their submarines, they also had a whimsical plan to build an underwater battleship. Huge ideological inertia is inevitable, and Li Ningyu is even more happy to see it.
Take more detours to European countries, so that the Far East can completely distance itself from them by several generations.
The world's first empire grew up relying on the strength of its navy. Therefore, the importance that European countries attached to submarines made the British dare not stop. The restless Britain had a prominent position as the world's first naval power. Although it relied on such
The sneaky attack submarine is not a big deal, but the British Navy, which has always maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, in order to reluctantly deal with many members of Congress, still took the initiative to purchase more than ten Z-1 type attack submarines from the Far East, because
They are too lazy to build an attack submarine with a tonnage of only 300.
The ten years at the end of the 19th century were a decade of rapid and stable development of the Far East Group. The Far East submarine force also moved from its early stage to the growth stage. With the invasion of the land of China by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the Far East finally broke out in silence, and in Asia
In various naval battles, the advantages of the Far East submarine formations were fully demonstrated, and all submarine formations were tested in actual combat. These are experiences that other countries in the world cannot match.
However, with the brilliant performance of the Far East submarine fleet, countries around the world have prematurely focused their attention on the development of naval attack submarines. As for the impact on the future, Li Ningyu has not thought about it, and he knows it.
It is impossible to grasp, so in order to speed up the gap with other countries in various military weapons and equipment, the Far East, after ten years of stable development, has adopted the process of increasing scientific and technological research and development and upgrading of weapons and equipment.
The army originally relied on small-caliber weapons and equipment such as rifles, grenades, light machine guns, and mortars in its operations. It is now transforming into large-caliber, fierce firepower, and mobility. Especially in major battles against the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the Far East Army's special armored vehicles,
It has begun to stop equipping troops and instead develops the first-generation Panther tank in the Far East.
Because the Far East Group has its own production and manufacturing capabilities, whether in terms of R&D, design, or production of various required accessories, naval weapons have also begun to transform, from the original ocean-going navy development model to gradually transforming into zoned defense operations.
In fact, Li Ningyu's actions still caused a lot of unnecessary repercussions, especially within the Far East Navy. Many officers did not understand why Li Ningyu stopped building large battleships and cruisers in major shipyards in the Far East. He even participated in several naval battles.
The submarine, which had gained great military exploits for the first time, also survived, and instead went all out to build destroyers mainly used for offshore defense.
Countries around the world think that the Far East Group is not big enough. You must know that the world's first empire has multiple large ocean-going fleets and still relies on large-caliber artillery battleships in naval operations, but no one understands.
, Li Ningyu actually has his own deep intention in doing this.
He plans to build 200 destroyers within three years. This is to balance the maritime power of various regions in the Far East, because in the early deployment, the main naval strength of the Far East was placed in Asian waters, while the American region and
Africa is severely deficient.
Fortunately, in the early days, the relations between the Far East Group and other countries in the world could still be maintained in a relatively peaceful state. However, as the Far East began to extend to the Middle East, some peace would inevitably be broken. Once the enemy attacked a certain section of the Far East,
Then it will inevitably affect the whole body.
Moreover, with the successful development of the Far East aircraft, Li Ningyu must secretly start his dream of building a maritime giant. You must know that even a 30,000-ton giant battleship cannot withstand more than ten bombardment flights.
Even if ten aircraft are lost in a bombing attack, it is still less than 10% of the value of a battleship, and the construction speed is also very different.
Taking fewer detours and spending less money are things that Li Ningyu must think about before making every move, because every time he saves military expenses, he can spend more money to build infrastructure in various places, and the number of people in various places in the Far East will also decrease.
Only by shouldering the burden can the Far East's already unstable economic system develop healthily.
