Perhaps because of the education he received before time travel and the influence of the media, Ouyang Yun has always been wary of the United States. Even though the Xuebing Army has benefited greatly from American factors in its current development and growth, Ouyang Yun has never had a good impression of the United States. But now, the performance of Americans has confirmed that his "forward-looking" feeling is correct.
The United States, which puts interests first, is actually a robber country in the final analysis.
As a French student studying abroad, Jiang Shuren has always had a favorable impression of the United States, a so-called Western democratic country. Of course, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Perhaps it is because he has too high expectations for the United States, a democratic country, so when starting from Ouyang After Yun Kou learned the truth about the American business delegation, his reaction was stronger than Ouyang Yun's.
People who are in charge of finance are always particularly sensitive to topics such as money. Before Ouyang Yun could fully explain his thoughts, he immediately raised his objection: "No, absolutely not, Ouyang, don't you know, it's exactly Because of our compromise some time ago, American companies have mastered many of our unique patented technologies. Now, the market share of our products in the Americas has been greatly reduced. Ouyang, the foreign exchange earned by our products is now our main profit income. The Americans have gone too far. We have given them so much, but they are still not satisfied. Hmm, do they want to acquire all our industries in the United States? Ouyang, we really need to consider this matter in the long term."
Ouyang Yun was the first to come to Jiang Shuren, hoping that he could find a good solution to this matter, and Jiang Shuren's reaction gave him an excuse to shirk responsibility. He immediately said: "Mr. Jiang, what's going on with this matter?" I'll leave it to you to operate it. I have only one request. There must be no problems with the aircraft carrier. Let me tell you the truth. If our student army wants to remain undefeated in the next Sino-Japanese confrontation, the last thing we can rely on is It’s the aircraft carrier.”
Jiang Shuren fell into deep thought. After a few minutes, he looked up at Ouyang Yun and said: "Commander-in-Chief, Shuren is very grateful for your trust in me. A soldier will die for his confidant. Because of your words, this matter, I took it upon myself."
Ouyang Yun smiled, stood up, raised his teacup and touched Jiang Shuren, and said, "Mr. Jiang, please."
"Commander-in-Chief, I still need you to do some work for me."
"Say, as long as I can do it."
"Mr. Hou, you have to say hello to me. Mr. Hou has a bad temper. I'm afraid he will misunderstand me. If he doesn't support my work then, well, then I will be really embarrassed."
"No problem, I will come forward to Mr. Hou's place."
Mr. Hou is Hou Debang. Ever since Ouyang Yun handed over his handheld computer to him, Mr. Hou's patented technologies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and his status has also risen accordingly. Now, he has become one of the students in the army. The flag is raised, those engaged in finance and those engaged in technology are natural "enemies". Those engaged in finance always hope to obtain the maximum benefit with the smallest investment; while those engaged in technology always hope to obtain the best experimental conditions, so they are basically There is no concept of cost, which also creates a gap between Jiang Shuren and Hou Debang. As the status of both parties increases, this gap gradually becomes politicized, and some things become unclear.
Three days later, a war game was going on in the war game room of the Combat Staff Department of the General Headquarters of the Xuebing Army.
This war game was initiated by Ouyang Yun. Although rumors about the aircraft carrier that are not conducive to the Xuebing Army have not leaked out, Ouyang Yun has developed a sense of worry and has begun to consider that once the aircraft carrier strategy is betrayed by the US government, How did the Xuebing Army fight against the powerful Japanese Navy?
This war game was conducted under the guidance of this idea.
After nearly a year and a half of development and enrichment, the Combat Staff Department of the General Headquarters of the Cadet Army has now formed four independent systems. Among them, the staff leader in charge of the Naval Department is a person who has attended the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Gao Chengsheng, a Chinese-American mixed-race student who has learned from experience,
Gao Chengsheng is a typical aircraft carrier theorist. His views also represent the new generation of new naval officers who are deeply influenced by Ouyang Yun. They believe that future naval battles will be an era of decisive victory for aircraft carriers, and several aircraft carriers will be dispatched together. , releasing hundreds of bombers at once can not only detect the enemy first, but also be able to raid from a long distance, giving them the initiative to choose the battlefield. By then, even if they need to face double the number of battleships, they can still form an overwhelming advantage. ,
In this war game, Gao Chengsheng, as the Japanese side taking the initiative, commanded a fleet that not only included four aircraft carriers, but also multiple cruisers, frigates and small gunboats.
On the side of the Xuebing Army, the commander is Ouyang Yun, and in the fleet he commands, except for two heavy cruisers with a tonnage of about 20,000 tons, the others are light cruisers of several thousand tons, small gunboats, and six submarines,
The battlefield of the exercise was in the Taiwan Strait. After the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet appeared with great force, the Xuebing Army's ships sailed out from Dongshan and Hainan naval bases.
The Japanese army launched about 200 carrier-based aircraft about 300 kilometers away from Dongshan Naval Base, of which about 140 were bombers.
When the two hundred carrier-based aircraft approached the Dongshan Naval Base in steps, they were violently sniped by the Xuebing Army's road-based aviation. In the end, the Japanese aircraft formation successfully destroyed the Dongshan Base after losing about fifty fighter planes. Immediately, the remaining fighters returned to the aircraft carrier, refueled and took off again, starting to look for the Xuebing Army's fleet.
A scene that impressed Gao Chengsheng happened at this moment. Six submarines from the Xuebing Army began to approach the aircraft carrier fleet under his command. However, due to the lack of effective anti-submarine means, even when these six submarines were approaching, Gao Chengsheng was still at a loss. Don't know how to deal with it,
The results of the war game therefore showed that both sides would lose in name, but in fact the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet was defeated and lost. Although the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet successfully sank all the surface ships of the Xuebing Army and sank a submarine, But it was unable to prevent four of its own aircraft carriers from being destroyed by submarines one by one.
With the sinking of the last aircraft carrier, in fact, the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet has ceased to exist in name only and has lost the ability to continue attacking the Hainan Naval Base. Such an outcome is naturally unacceptable to aircraft carrier victorious theorists such as Gao Chengsheng. They immediately pointed out: In view of the current inability to master the Japanese navy's anti-submarine capabilities, it is really questionable that the Xuebing Army's submarine force has achieved such brilliant results.
Although submarines have sharp attacks, they also have a clear weakness, which is weak protection. In fact, as long as the Japanese navy is prepared, the submarine cannot get close and successfully launch torpedoes.
At this time, Ouyang Yun spoke, and he said: "Yes, if the Japanese have enough anti-submarine equipment, our submarines will not be able to carry out raids. However, there is a premise here, that is, the Japanese Navy has enough anti-submarine equipment." Equipment? I believe that, at least in the past few years, they do not have it. This is our opportunity. At present, countries around the world do not pay attention to the role of submarines. Well, Germany is an exception. So, regardless of the progress of aircraft carrier construction, Our submarine construction progress must not be left behind, and even more emphasis must be placed on it. The reason why I proposed to hold this war game is because of this, you understand."
Gao Chengsheng and others fell into deep thought,
As for Ouyang Yun, looking at the Japanese aircraft carrier on the simulation platform, his face was equally solemn. He still couldn't get rid of the aircraft carrier complex.
