The shipbuilding industry in the Republic started in the late Qing Dynasty and experienced rapid development during the First World War. After the European War, due to government subsidies and support and rapid growth of domestic trade, the domestic shipbuilding industry maintained steady growth. The world economy in 1929
The great crisis caused some damage to the Republic's shipbuilding industry. A large number of smaller shipbuilding companies were forced to collapse or merge in the economic crisis that swept the world. After adjustment, shipbuilding companies under the nine major domestic consortiums were
Instead, it becomes stronger.
With the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese "Northeast War" in 1931, the shipbuilding industry in the Republic ushered in another opportunity for rapid development. With the outbreak of the world war, the domestic shipbuilding industry ushered in an opportunity for rapid development. In 1941 only
Within two years from 1942, the Republic's shipbuilding industry built a total of 387 large surface combat ships above frigates, a total of 1.62 million tons, 426 submarines, nearly 450,000 tons, and 142 other large military auxiliary ships, a total of 710,000.
Tons, the huge shipbuilding industry is the main factor that the Republican Army has always been able to maintain the initiative on the battlefield.
By 1943, the number of people engaged in the shipbuilding industry in the Republic reached 3.12 million, a 5-fold increase from before the war. There were 120-meter shipyards in China, and there were 68 shipyards capable of building frigates, including Xingdao, Guangzhou, Xiamen, and Luoyuan.
Ningbo, Jiangnan, Hudong, Chongming, Qingdao, Dalian nine shipyards have a total of 18 large dry docks with a length of more than 260 meters and can build heavy ships with displacement of more than 35,000 tons, and can build cruisers with displacement of more than 13,000 tons and
The large supply ship has 36 ship platforms and docks. Due to the standardized design scheme and assembly line segment construction method, the high standardization has been implemented in various aspects such as steel and steel plates, ship equipment, machinery and weapons, which has greatly improved.
The construction speed of the shipyard and the utilization rate of the docks, the construction cycle of a "North Sea-class" heavy fleet aviation warship was shortened to 10 months, while the construction cycle of an air defense cruiser with a standard displacement of 15,000 tons was shortened to 6.
Months, this symbolizes that the Republican Navy can have 16 heavy aviation warships and more than 70 cruisers built and launched each year.
In order to maintain its maritime advantage over the United States, the Republican Navy needed to build more than 2 million tons of combat ships every year. As the war progressed, the Republican Army's strength was not only not affected by the war, but was rapidly increasing.
The number of docks and construction efficiency represent a country's shipbuilding capacity. Fang Minghao only truly understood how powerful the Republic has in shipbuilding capacity when he formulated a large warship docking maintenance plan with the Navy Logistics Department. Before, he knew that the Republic's shipbuilding capacity must be
It is stronger than the United Kingdom, but still has a certain gap with the United States. But now I have discovered that the Republic's overall shipbuilding capacity may have surpassed that of the United States.
The Republic's 1943 aviation shipbuilding program was 12 and 38 cruisers built, which means that the shipbuilding industry has even enriched half of its shipbuilding capacity for building civilian ships.
It takes about half a month to dock maintenance and paint large warships. As two "Guangdong-class" aviation ships sank one after another, the Republican Navy realized that displacement was related to the combat performance and battlefield survivability of aviation warships.
There is also an increasing trend. The "Beihai-class" aviation warship built in fiscal year 1943 has been slightly revised. The hull length and flight deck width have been increased, and the new "special municipal" aviation ship's drainage capacity has reached 51,200.
Tons, it has improved a little more than the combat capability of the "Beihai-level".
The latest batch of "special municipal-level" aviation warships were successively launched from the dock and dragged to the outfitted dock. Taking advantage of this gap, the Admiralty Department began to arrange active warships for routine maintenance.
During the war for more than four years, the Republican Navy lost three aviation ships, four cruisers, seven main battleships, but captured and salvaged and repaired fifteen old battleships and six heavy cruisers,
After modernization and modification, the number of battleships of the Republican Navy increased to thirty-two, only three fewer than the total number of battleships between the United States and Britain. The strength of the battleship fleet was several times stronger than before the war.
Fang Minghao took advantage of the opportunity of warships for maintenance and visited several large domestic shipbuilding companies. Compared with 37 years, the scale and automation level of each shipyard are much higher, and it is obvious that there are many new types of shipbuilding.
Heavy equipment. In comparison, the US shipbuilding industry has also developed to a new peak. According to intelligence, in early 1943, the US Navy will have 12 "Essex-class" fleet aviation ships and six "
Iahua-class battleships have been completed and put into service one after another. In this way, with 6 "**" and 2 "Saipan" aviation ships, the number of airships of the US Navy will reach 34, and there will be intelligence proof, given the
The Essex-class "has a gap between the Republican Navy's aviation ships in terms of combat performance and the construction of their new-class aviation warships has also begun.
As the four Montana-class battleships occupied a large dock, the first batch of new first-class American aircraft ships were only 6. This was a proud side to the Republican Navy, two "Xingden" purchased from Germany
The Fort-class super battleship indeed interfered with the construction of the US aviation ship.
Although Britain was the first country to start building aviation warships, due to the influence of traditional ideas, the Royal Navy's application and understanding of naval aviation is far inferior to that of the US Navy. This is reflected in the fact that their aviation ships have insufficient number of carrier-based aircraft and their attack power is
It was greatly restricted. On the contrary, the US Navy's understanding of aviation warships is very close to that of the Republican Navy. The navy of the two countries used similar maritime tactics, both of which regarded aviation warships and naval aviation as the main attack forces, and the battleships were listed as escorts.
and fire support and auxiliary ships on the other side.
Because everyone has the same tactical level, the result of naval battles is basically determined by the number and comprehensive performance data. Since entering the industrial era, the impact of military commanders on the outcome of the war has become smaller and smaller. Just like the current battle in the Volga River
In the middle, an excellent military commander like Emanstein could not prevent the German army from defeating.
With the ease of war ahead, the distribution and control of domestic civilian materials has become less strict. With the continuous completion and production of several large oil fields in the Gulf region, crude oil production in the controlled areas of the Republic has reached 120 million tons per year, in addition to meeting the military's
In addition to the demand and supply of 9 million tons of crude oil to Germany each year, about 10 million tons of gasoline can be provided to civilians every year. Of course, the supply of diesel is still limited, because first of all, we must ensure the fuel supply for domestic industrial and agricultural production.
In Shanghai these days, Fang Minghao can still feel that the people's enthusiasm for the war has long since begun. The Republican Army's nearly one million casualties over the years have caused almost every family in China to have relatives and friends in this war.
Sacrifice or disability due to injuries, and long-term rationing and regulation of daily necessities have also made some people feel very slight, especially some rich people. The strict rationing system makes them unable to buy what they want even if they have money.
For example, cars, before the war, a large city like Shanghai had nearly 100,000 private cars. Due to the influence of the war, these cars could only be placed in the garage like scraps in the past three years, because it was fundamentally
There is no supply of gasoline. Due to restrictions on the production and supply of alcoholic beverages, rich people can no longer squander as they used to. Even the supply of fruits, sugar, coffee and tea is strictly restricted, which makes the rich want to open up.
The "party" also seems uneven.
As material control gradually relaxed, the powerful began to drive their private cars and began to show off. When night fell, the number of dances held by the powerful in their gardens began to increase, and these "noble people" far away from the battlefield began to fall into the trap again.
In the life of chasing the sound and color of dogs and horses.
People are now gradually shifting the topic to the end of the war if they can. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes,
