Completely different from the development route of other domestic military factions, the Xuebing Army has taken a high-end route since its establishment in Renqiu. This high-end is not only reflected in the construction and management system of the army, but also in the self-reliance rate of more than 100%. Regarding the 90's military industry system, it can be said that the strength of the Xuebing Army is accompanied by countless miracles along the way. These miracles are not only military, but more are reflected in military and technology.
Growing up with countless miracles, it is said that the senior officers of the Xuebing Army have long been accustomed to strange things and have developed a strong psychological endurance. However, at this time, when some of them heard the news about the ocean fleet for the first time. When I heard the news, I was still shocked.
Today, from a company commander or even a small soldier to a commander of an army, or even a commander of an independent branch of arms, their vision has already changed. The more so, the better they understand how to build an ocean-going force of such a scale. How difficult it must be for the fleet, so it’s no wonder that they, who had long developed a calm temperament, were so shocked at this time.
This was the first time Xiong Shang, who had been staying in Hainan for more than two years, heard about this incident. The first reaction of the former company commander of the sword regiment was to reach out and squeeze his thigh hard. After feeling a real After feeling the pain, he confirmed that he was not daydreaming, and asked: "Commander-in-Chief, when did this happen? This, this is incredible."
Ouyang Yun handed the telegram to Pan Meiren. He was a little proud and replied with a chuckle: "It started three years ago. Don't be too surprised. We are such a big country and have such a vast sea area. How can we not have an ocean?" Where’s the navy?”
"Aircraft carriers, there are two of them at once, tsk tsk tsk." Shan Renxiong sighed, stars jumping in his eyes,
"No future." Ouyang Yun scolded with a smile, then calmed down and said: "Let's get down to business, Xiaotie, after the Pacific Fleet returns."
Before Ouyang Yun could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chen Ce's murmur. When this old navy man heard the name "Pacific Fleet", his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but said: "Pacific Fleet, what a good name." Then, he discovered that Everyone looked at him, and his old face turned slightly red. He looked at Ouyang Yun with an apologetic look and said, "Commander-in-Chief, please continue."
In order to give this infant fleet a meaningful name, Ouyang Yun scratched his scalp. The dreams of many generations in that era were realized in his hands in this time and space. Every time he thought about it, As a result, he couldn't contain his excitement, so he always thought about giving a grand and majestic name that would be worthy of the expectations of generations of people of that era.
When chatting with Ji Xingwen, Ji Xingwen once mentioned the American Pacific Fleet. A sudden inspiration came to his mind and he decided to name it after the Pacific Ocean. He believed that only this name could reflect China's determination to enter the ocean.
Being distracted by Chen Ce, everyone's attention was attracted to the "Pacific Fleet".
Ji Xingwen once witnessed the birth of this name. He said enthusiastically: "When the Commander-in-Chief and I discussed this matter, we initially wanted to use the South China Sea Fleet as the first choice, but considering that we want to protect Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands, our fleet We must go deep into the Pacific to fight, and the South China Sea Fleet is too stingy. So, what name is more grand? Except for the Pacific, nothing else is enough to reflect our determination to protect our maritime borders."
After a heated discussion about the name "Pacific Fleet", Ouyang Yun brought the topic back, coughed twice and said: "The Pacific Fleet has three aircraft carriers as its backbone. The strength of HNA will directly determine the actual combat capabilities of this fleet. Xiaotie, you have to be mentally prepared. I may transfer a lot of veteran pilots from your Air Force to the Pacific Fleet's naval aviation team."
While the "Yandi" was still undergoing modifications in the dockyard in the United States, the related training work for soldiers had already begun. Gu Lianyun and Chen Shichang were responsible for part of it in the United States. At the same time, Dongshan and Haikou also had related training. Originally, if For the two aircraft carrier fleets alone, although the two trainees combined cannot guarantee full strength, the gap is not large. However, because of the addition of the French Far East Fleet, they unexpectedly gained four destroyers from the British Z Fleet and Krach. The problem of personnel shortage on the "Fenghui-class" aircraft carrier suddenly became apparent.
The training of navigation personnel and naval aviation pilots cannot be completed overnight, and the training of the latter is especially the most difficult.
The recruitment of pilots is different from other branches. The strict requirements on physical fitness alone can eliminate more than 90% of the applicants. For this reason, although Ouyang Yun has paid special attention to the construction of the pilot reserve since the establishment of the Air Force. , but so far, with the addition of the Women's Aviation Group, Tielin Fei's pilot reserve reserves have only maintained the size of an aviation division.
In this regard, Tielin Fei had something to say, so he followed Ouyang Yun's words and said: "If it is only the size of two aviation divisions, there should be no problem. I just don't know the rated air load of the 'Enemy-class' aircraft carrier. How much is it?"
Ouyang Yun: "It's not sure yet. My idea is that it must be able to satisfy at least one naval division. Chen Mingsheng and the others have already arrived in Karachi. If they cannot meet this requirement, they will carry out relevant transformations."
The current aviation structure of the Xuebing Army is that an aviation division has three duty groups and a reserve group. Due to the performance characteristics of the main fighter aircraft, the Baiji Dolphin and the Flying Fortress, a group must be equipped with at least 24 pilots, and an aviation division must have at least 24 pilots. Equipped with ninety-six pilots,
Tie Linfei nodded: "Then there is no problem, but..."
"Nothing."
"Commander-in-Chief, do you know that Chongqing intends to purchase fighter jets from us?"
After the Japanese army conquered Wuhan and Changsha and forced its troops to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, it began to launch high-frequency air raids on Chongqing at the end of May. The Japanese army's current fighter equipment level is mainly the New Falcon and the New Jiujiu. Although these two fighters are not enough to compete with The main fighter of the Xuebing Army, the Whiteback, was competitive, but it had a considerable advantage against the Hawker III and I-16 of the Central Army Aviation Force and the Soviet Volunteer Air Force. The two sides fought fiercely for more than a month, and the Sino-Soviet Air Force The troops have suffered heavy losses. Currently, they no longer dare to take to the skies to engage in battle because they cannot get replacement fighter planes.
Without checks and balances on the Japanese aviation force, air raids became more and more rampant. Correspondingly, Chongqing suffered heavy losses in personnel and property in such high-frequency air raids, and the morale of the people was severely hit. As a result, some generals of the Supreme Military Council moved The idea of purchasing fighter planes from the Xuebing Army,
During the Guangzhou Incident last year, the Soviet Union had intended to obtain a Baiji through the Chongqing government to conduct technical analysis on it and improve its country's fighter manufacturing level. Upon learning of the news, its military representatives in Chongqing immediately launched lobbying to force the Soviet government
Under pressure, Lao Jiang, who had decided not to bow to the Xuebing Army, agreed to this decision. So General Feng was pushed to the front desk, found Mu Jiandie and made relevant requests.
