Chapter 509: Being Singled Out As Participating In Maritime Exercises? Don't Underestimate That
Chapter 509: Being singled out to participate in maritime exercises? Don’t underestimate that person. If you do, you will be the ones who suffer!
"Electromagnetic ejection?"
The huge sound came, and everyone's eyes suddenly moved away from the taking-off carrier-based aircraft and landed on the protruding ejection device on the deck, with a look of disbelief on their faces.
"Is this aircraft carrier equipped with electromagnetic catapults?"
Even if they saw it with their own eyes, some carrier-based aircraft pilots still couldn't believe it.
You must know that there are currently too few forces that can master electromagnetic ejection technology. Except for the Star Alliance and the God Alliance, no other force has mastered electromagnetic ejection technology.
Even if the aircraft carriers of other forces take off by ejection, most of them use steam ejection.
Steam ejection does not have many technical requirements for the major forces. Basically, as long as the forces can build an aircraft carrier, they can do it.
The electromagnetic ejection is different.
Electromagnetic catapult technology is an emerging linear propulsion technology, suitable for launching large payloads in short distances, and has broad application prospects in military, civilian and industrial fields.
Electromagnetic ejection uses electromagnetic energy to push the ejected object outward. In the final analysis, it is actually a form of electromagnetic gun.
This kind of ejection device cannot be developed by ordinary forces. Otherwise, decades have passed since the emergence of aircraft carriers. However, only the Star Alliance and the God Alliance have used electromagnetic ejection devices on aircraft carriers. Two forces.
From this point we can see how difficult it is to achieve electromagnetic ejection.
You know, although the Eastern God Alliance also has aircraft carriers, those two aircraft carriers do not even use steam catapults, and the take-off method they use is ski jump take-off.
It is conceivable how much shock the application of electromagnetic ejection devices brings to everyone.
"The take-off distance arranged on the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is sufficient, and coupled with the 170-degree short-term acceleration given by the electromagnetic ejection, we can complete the take-off under any circumstances.
Just when everyone was lost in thought, Qin Dao's voice came.
"With electromagnetic catapult, I think it shouldn't be difficult for everyone to take off. Once the speed is reached, it can be lifted up. The difficult thing is how to complete the landing on the deck at high speed.
Everyone who heard this also suppressed the smiles on their faces.
Indeed, electromagnetic catapult has greatly reduced the difficulty of taking off from the deck, but it has not reduced the difficulty of landing at all.
Even if there is a blocking cable, it may not land smoothly, and controlling the tail hook to hook the blocking cable is not a small difficulty.
In particular, the pilot is a carrier-based aircraft modified from the J-X-20 fighter, which is more difficult than piloting the J-X-15 fighter.
Every year, countless carrier-based aircraft pilots crash and die due to an accident during landing.
This kind of thing has happened too many times, and many people feel a little chilly when they think about it.
But with Qin Dao's introduction, some of the tension in his heart gradually calmed down.
The takeoff and landing of carrier-based aircraft is a top priority for Qin Xiao, who has just taken over the command of the aircraft carrier battle group.
Whether there are carrier-based aircraft and the proficiency of carrier-based aircraft pilots is related to the combat effectiveness of the entire aircraft carrier battle group.
The combat effectiveness of an aircraft carrier battle group with carrier-based aircraft is not at the same level as that of an aircraft carrier battle group without carrier-based aircraft.
The reason why aircraft carriers have become the ace in the modern navy is precisely because of the long-range strike and air defense capabilities of carrier-based aircraft.
Without carrier-based aircraft, an aircraft carrier is nothing more than a larger ship, or in other words, a living target in a naval battle.
During this period of time, Qin Xiao did not do anything else or get in touch. Commanding a super fleet is not a trivial matter, let alone an easy one. Many things take time.
But carrier-based aircraft are the most familiar point to him, and it is the most urgent point for this carrier-based aircraft flying brigade to quickly gain combat effectiveness.
Fortunately, the pilots of these carrier-based aircraft are very good. In less than a week, they were able to skillfully complete the process from takeoff to landing. Although there were some minor accidents along the way, the overall performance was good and there were no aircraft crashes. death matter.
This is already a miracle for a group of pilots who have just come into contact with electromagnetic catapults and the J-X-20 fighter carrier-based aircraft.
You know, when you come into contact with this new take-off method, it is normal for one or two aircraft crashes and fatalities to occur in many cases.
the other side.
Naval Headquarters.
The scene of an important video conference.
Huang Yuanjun sat in the first place.
As the admiral and first person in charge of the navy, Huang Yuanjun watched through the video that everyone was already in place. His loud and majestic voice reached everyone's ears through the microphone: "Everyone is here, let's start when we get there. .”
Although he spoke casually, everyone listened carefully.
"This time we gather everyone together to discuss one thing."
"You have all seen the document that was sent out a few days ago. Before the four-nation maritime military exercise, Mr. Zheng meant that we should do it internally to run it in and strive to improve our combat effectiveness before the four-nation maritime military exercise. To show the strength of our Dongshen Navy to the whole world, it is also to deter hostile forces so that they do not dare to act rashly."
"Minister Huang, I have something to say."
As soon as Huang Yuanjun finished speaking, the commander-in-chief of the Haidong Combined Fleet, Admiral Zhang Chengshen, had a solemn look on his face.
"Say." Huang Yuanjun looked at Zhang Chengshen in the video.
Zhang Cheng took a deep breath: "Minister Huang, these contents are also mentioned in the document. You also mentioned it in the last meeting. This time, it should not be just for this matter, right?"
Huang Yuanjun glanced at him and said with a smile: "Old Zhang, you still understand me!"
"It's not that I understand you, but Minister Huang will not hold a video conference specifically for the same thing. This time, there should be other important things, and it should not be an announcement, but maybe he wants to hear our opinions."
Zhang Chengshen had a slight smile on his face.
"..."
Huang Yuanjun laughed, and then his face returned to a solemn look: "It's not a big (cabg) matter, but I also want to hear your opinions.
When he said this, he paused and continued: "You should all know about the launch of our first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Major General Qin Xiao serves as the commander-in-chief of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group. For this internal maritime military performance, we Both Mr. and Mr. Zheng plan to bring this super fleet in.
Hearing this, Zhang Chengshen frowned: "Minister Huang, such a super fleet, whether it is placed on the red side or the blue side, can almost play a decisive role. If it is placed on the red side, the blue side will directly vote. Let the blue side go, and the red side won’t be able to fight.”
The others also frowned and had solemn expressions on their faces.
Such a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group will have a great impact on both sides of the maritime military exercise.
This is like a group of sheep fighting, and you suddenly bring in a group of ferocious wolves. No matter which side these ferocious wolves help, that side will naturally have an absolute advantage, and the possibility of the opponent trying to come back is too small.
"Minister Huang, Lao Zhang is right. Your idea is good, but if such a super fleet is brought in, the meaning of the exercise will be gone, and it will become one-sided."
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Southern United Fleet, Lei Xiangyang, who was also an admiral, also spoke out at this moment.
"It is a good thing that a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group participates in maritime military exercises. It will be of great help to the four-nation maritime military exercises in the future. However, if such a behemoth is added up rashly, it will not only have no effect, but will actually make this internal exercise worse." It has completely lost its intended meaning.
The two commander-in-chiefs of the combined fleet would react this way, which did not surprise him.
Although the addition of a super fleet will give any party a natural advantage, no one wants to fight for it.
Without him, exercises are not only a time to show one's strength, but also the key to discovering shortcomings.
At this time, the addition of a super fleet will directly affect the balance of victory and will not be of any benefit to the exercise.
The two of them obviously saw the problem, otherwise they would not unite to oppose it.
Thinking of this, Huang Yuanjun smiled and said: "I knew you two would unite to oppose, so this time, my plan is to let this nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group serve as a third party
That is, when the black team participates in the exercise, I don't care whether they plan to help the blue team or the red team. What matters is who can win the final victory. "
Hearing this, both Zhang Chengshen and Lei Xiangyang were startled at the same time.
The next moment, the two people shouted almost at the same time: "Three parties?"
"right."
Huang Yuanjun nodded: "It's the three parties."
"Although the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group is an extremely powerful maritime force, it is still far behind the combined fleet, which both have aircraft carriers. If they want to win, they have to weaken both of you at the same time. If you want to win, We also have to consider whether Major General Qin Xiao will take advantage of us once we fight to the death."
"I think such maritime military exercises have greater practical significance."
"Moreover, this newly established super fleet can also be allowed to grow rapidly."
"I won't say any more words. That's what I mean. I want to hear your opinions.
After he finished speaking, he looked at the two of them.
"Minister Huang, this... arrangement is a stroke of genius!"
“What a stroke of genius!”
Zhang Chengshen's eyes sparkled.
Originally, it was just a maritime military exercise between the red and blue teams. He still found it boring because he and Lei Xiangyang were so familiar with each other and the combat methods of both sides. In a real fight, there should be victory or defeat for each other. Who would win the exercise in the end? , depends on luck, depends on the sky.
But the addition of Qin Xiao suddenly caused a confusing change in the outcome of the exercise.
No one can guarantee that he will win. Even if he wins against Lei Xiangyang, he still has to consider whether the loss will be too great if he agrees to Lei Xiangyang and cannot withstand the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group led by Qin Xiao.
Lei Xiangyang also looked overjoyed.
But after a while, the two of them looked at Huang Yuanjun at the same time: "But, Minister Huang, isn't this unfair to that person?"
"unfair?"
A mysterious smile appeared on Huang Yuanjun's face, and the complete military book appeared in his mind, and he said with a smile: "It must be a bit unfair, but as veterans, don't underestimate him. If you do, you will suffer the loss. !".
