Ouyang Yun and his party stayed at the Karachi Shipyard for about three hours. After he, Hou Debang, Lu Hanni, Chen Mingsheng and others studied the details of the "Enemy-class" modification in detail, they took a speedboat to the anchorage of the Pacific Fleet.
, began his first "Pacific trip".
The Pacific Fleet came to greet him with a Fletcher-class destroyer. This type of ship has a full load displacement of 2,500 tons. Its main weapons include five single-barreled 127mm high-level dual-purpose guns, two quintuple 533mm torpedo launchers, and double
There are three joint-mounted 40mm "Bofors" cannons and ten single-barreled 20mm "Oerlikon" cannons. There are currently seven ships of this type in the Pacific Fleet, three of which are through Wallace Huey.
The "old ship" that Turney secretly purchased from the U.S. Navy through the Skull and Bones Society.
There are still four such "old ships" in the Pacific Fleet, namely three New Orleans-class cruisers and one S-1-class attack submarine. Speaking of which, Wallace is quite interesting. The destroyer is a Fletcher-class destroyer.
, the cruisers are all New Orleans class. The cost of these six ships alone exceeds 100 million US dollars, which is enough to form a small fleet. It can be said that Ouyang Yun purchased these seven ships for 100 million US dollars. It is really
It's a huge advantage.
Led by the aircraft carriers Yandi and Huangdi, there were a total of twenty-seven ships, all made in the United States. Because of the British wrangling, the French Far East Fleet ended up with a total of sixteen ships including the battleships "Richelieu" and "Richelieu".
Three battleships were acquired by the Xuebing Army; coupled with the four "Admiralty V-class" destroyers provided by the British Far East Fleet, so far, the localization rate of the Xuebing Army's Pacific Fleet is zero.
The sun is setting in the west, the Arabian Sea is shining with golden light, and several silver fighter planes are flying in the sunset, creating a beautiful sunset scene.
Chen Shichang had already conveyed the news of the Commander-in-Chief's arrival. At this time, all the trainees, led by the Yandi and Huangdi aircraft carriers, stood on each deck of the ship and lined up along the railings.
.
"Sir, would you like to take a circuit first?" Chen Shichang suggested.
Ouyang Yun nodded.
The entire Pacific Fleet has a personnel strength of nearly 15,000 people. Among these people, about 9,000 were recruited locally in the United States and are volunteers. Many of them grew up step by step despite being bathed in Ouyang Yun's anecdotes.
, became an excellent naval cadet, but this was the first time he met Ouyang Yun.
The speedboat slowly passed by one warship after another. Ouyang Yun stood with his hands on the railings, raising his hands to salute the cadets standing on the ships from time to time. Beside him, Hou Debang held on to the railings with both hands, his body trembling from time to time.
He sighed: "I didn't expect that I could see such a scene in my lifetime!" "Is this our fleet?" "Aircraft carrier Yandi - Ouyang, thank you!"
"Mr. Hou, what are you talking about? This is not my credit."
Hou Debang smiled: "Ouyang, only now do I understand what a sea-power country is!"
How many years has the word "sea power" been absent from the country? It seems that after the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894, the word disappeared from the country's dictionary. Is sea power important to the country? Nonsense, the sea area is nearly half of the country's land area, can it not be
important?
The captain of the Yandi aircraft carrier, after Ouyang Yun's personal instructions, is currently designated as Bian Jingdao. Bian Jingdao, a newly minted major general, has not changed his temper at all. As soon as the speedboat entered the sight of the cadets standing on the deck of the Yandi, he
shouted through the loudspeaker: "Brothers, are you all ready?"
The students replied in unison: "Ready!"
The speedboat came over and gradually became parallel to the hull of the Yandi. Ouyang Yun raised his hand, and Bian Jingdao shouted: "Hello, Commander-in-Chief!" Then his trainees shouted in unison: "Hello, Commander-in-Chief!"
The Entei, as the Chinese version of the American Essex-class aircraft carrier, has been modified with a full load displacement of nearly 40,000 tons and can theoretically carry 73 Baijis. Although there is still a gap between it and Japan's Yamato-class aircraft carrier, looking at the world,
It is definitely worthy of being called a giant aircraft carrier. The fighters equipped by the Yandi and Huangdi will be sent from Guangzhou by Tielin Fei, so at this time, the flight deck and hangar of the Yandi are empty, with only a few purchased aircraft.
Trainer aircraft from the United States.
Aircraft carrier, the symbol of the Deep Blue Fleet in later generations. In that time and space, 1.3 billion people dreamed of it, but in the end they could only purchase a semi-finished ship from the distant Black Sea, and then they went through all the trouble and were looked down upon before being dragged back to the country...see
Looking at the slender hull of Yandi and listening to the loud and neat greetings of the soldiers on board, even though Ouyang Yun had already developed a heart of stone, he couldn't help but feel his heart pounding and his eyes tightening. He suddenly felt that no matter what
No matter how much he suffered before and what kind of fate he would suffer in the future, it was all worth it. Even if he could not completely defeat the Japanese combined fleet, he at least tried hard and successfully built an aircraft carrier that truly belonged to the Chinese!
No, we must defeat the Japanese combined fleet. If this goal cannot be achieved, what will be the purpose of this time travel? What is the contribution of General Chen and the others? They just don’t care about personal gains and losses, just for these good men in front of them.
Hard work, sacrifices of tens of millions of descendants of Yan and Huang, what can I do to repay their blood and trust?
…
The speedboat sailed past the aircraft carrier Yandi, which took no more than two minutes. In just two minutes, Ouyang Yun thought a lot. Unknowingly, two lines of hot tears flowed into the wind. Something was surging in his heart, and he felt a pair of tender hands on his left hand.
Holding her little hand, he turned around and saw Bai Liusu's light and gentle face. He gently held her hand back, straightening his waist with force, and raising his right hand to the brim of the hat, he couldn't help but become stronger.
Degu stood about two meters away from him. The Frenchman could now understand some Chinese. Hearing the shouts of the students, he looked at Ouyang Yun and moved his eyes to the vast space in front of the speedboat.
Looking at the boundless Arabian Sea, I couldn't help but have a clear understanding: the Chinese people are so obsessed with the power of the ocean navy, maybe they can really get what they want, and have a foothold among the five powers of Britain, the United States, Japan, the Soviet Union and Germany? The navy certainly needs knowledge, but
The vitality of youth is also indispensable! The Pacific Fleet may not be just a joke.
"Brother, I believe that one day, you will take me to Tokyo!" Bai Liusu said softly, with something bright shining in his eyes.
"Why do we need to form an ocean-going navy? Why is our first ocean-going fleet called the Pacific Fleet? Everything is to defend the glory given to us by our ancestors! China is a vast and majestic country. The ancient heaven has an area of five million square kilometers.
The sea area - brothers! The descendants of Yan and Huang have always been peace-loving, but this does not mean that we are weak and can be bullied and can tolerate bandit countries doing whatever they want on our territory... Today, we want to proudly tell the world,
This is our aircraft carrier! Our Pacific Fleet!" Ouyang Yun stood on the island of Yandi and shouted loudly into three microphones.
His voice first reached the ears of every trainee in the Pacific Fleet through the loudspeaker, and then spread to all directions with the sea breeze and waves, gradually filling the world between heaven and earth.
(Old Poison: Everything is easier said than done. One aircraft carrier is not enough! It’s far from enough, isn’t it?)
