All-people naval warfare: from patrol boats to aircraft carrier fleets

After thinking about this, Ye Bai felt that his somewhat depressed mood was much better. At this time, he really found that he seemed to be a little lonely. This loneliness was not something else, but the kind of incompatibility between Blue Star players.

It has been so long since I traveled to the world of navigation. If I count carefully, there is only one Wu Yichun who can really be called an acquaintance. At most, besides Said, who I had traded with before, and who I had occasionally communicated with later, there are Can't be found anymore.

Even Wu Yichun, whom he was most familiar with, was not initiated by Ye Bai. If it weren't for that guy, Zi Laishu and She Niu, who would send messages to Ye Bai when there was nothing wrong, the relationship between the two would probably be similar to that of Said.

It's not that Ye Bai is aloof or unsociable. He has a lot of friends on Earth. It's just that for some reason, Ye Bai is never willing to communicate too much with Blue Star players.

At the beginning, Ye Bai's eyes darkened because he did not understand the history and current situation of the Blue Star world. He was worried that his identity would be exposed during the communication with other Blue Star players and he would become a public enemy.

Now, it seems that he has formed a habit. Even through Wu Yichun, he is quite familiar and understanding of the Blue Star world, especially the development history and current situation of Country Z, but he still doesn't like to communicate with Blue Star players, even on ordinary days. I rarely even pay attention to the chat section. Any important news is usually relayed by this guy Wu Yichun.

No way, this guy Wu Yichun is not only a social terrorist. He hangs out in the chat section when he has nothing to do, collects all kinds of gossip, and even often participates in debates between players. He is a proper keyboard warrior..

Ye Bai sighed helplessly. This state was a bit inappropriate. After all, his identity now was different from before. In the past, he was just the commander of the Chinese fleet. He could not care about other players, as long as he managed the Chinese fleet well. things will be fine.

But it doesn't work now. He is a lord and has occupied two small islands. It is inevitable to deal with players, even dealing with a large number of players. If he cannot adjust his mentality, there is no way to deal with the players' affairs.

This time is the most typical example. If he didn't have enough understanding of the player group, he wouldn't have been frightened by the battle on Yuntong Island, and he wouldn't have made a decision casually just because his brain got hot. Now And because the actual situation requires policy adjustments, it is not a good thing to change orders overnight.

Just when Ye Bai was standing on the deck, thinking wildly, an Il-4 bomber, escorted by several F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets with auxiliary fuel tanks, landed on the ground airport of Island No. 308.

Wearing a brand-new military uniform, Langsdorf got off the Il-4 bomber without any delay. He went directly to the port terminal and boarded the Yanhuang anchored at the berth.

In the early hours of yesterday morning, Cunningham received a message from the Fleet Headquarters. It stands to reason that such a late-night message must mean that the matter is urgent. However, after reading the content of the message, Cunningham still did not let Longsdu. Hu set out overnight, but waited until dawn before coordinating fighter planes to send him to island No. 308.

Although Cunningham had not been a member of the Chinese fleet for a long time, his personal experience and the stories of other officers around him gave him some understanding of Ye Bai.

Ye Bai didn't know that in the eyes of the officers under him, although he was very good in many aspects, he would not insist on his own way, he could listen to the opinions of his subordinates, he also trusted his subordinates, and he was willing to delegate power, so he was considered an outstanding person. 's boss.

But, as the saying goes,"No gold can be perfected, no naked man can be perfected." The same goes for Ye Bai. Everything else is fine, except that sometimes his thoughts come to him, regardless of time or occasion.

For example, this time we wanted to transfer Langsdorff to Island No. 308. There was no need to send a telegram all night. It would be too late to send it after dawn. Thanks to Cunningham who received the telegram, if it had been changed to another A rigid-minded officer would not allow Langsdorf to take the risk and set off overnight. If something happened during the night flight, Ye Bai would have to cry to death.

Ye Bai and Nimitz received Langsdorff together, gave him a few brief instructions, and then let him take up his post. After all, Langsdorff was just a commander of the garrison fleet and could easily do the job with his ability.

However, for the current guard fleet, there is a huge disadvantage, that is, the only warships with combat effectiveness in the entire fleet are the 100 warships rewarded by the system, and the tasks they have to undertake are somewhat heavy.

The guarding work on Island No. 308 is not bad. After all, the main fleet of the Chinese fleet is moored at the pier. They can share the burden with them and don't need to worry.

Daily patrol work is not difficult. You can assign tasks to those players to temporarily take over. Even the main fleet can allocate some warships to temporarily take charge of patrolling the sea area.

But the most important thing is to capture the resource points in the outer sea area as soon as possible and deploy the resource point escort fleet. According to our understanding, there are a total of 5 resource points in the outer sea area.

After all are occupied, even if each resource point only retains the minimum standard escort fleet size of 20 warships, 100 warships will still need to be dispatched. This is already all the available warships of the current No. 308 Island Guard Fleet.

And it is just to protect these resource points. There is no need to dispatch precious main battleships. Those small and medium-sized battleships are enough. Anyway, the biggest role of these escort fleets is to prevent sneak attacks by some small-scale pirate fleets.

If we really encounter a large-scale main fleet attacking a resource point, these defense fleets only need to provide early warning and emergency evacuation of personnel at the resource point. They do not need to fight against the opponent's main fleet. That is the guard fleet and the main force. fleet life

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, how many warships are there in this small space that are not in service?"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Langsdorff was the squadron commander of the main fleet before. Of course he knew the situation of the small logistics space. He even knew the habits of his master. , that is, to continuously produce various warships and reserve them, and only take them out when needed, instead of becoming a big fat man in one go.

Ye Bai and Nimitz looked at each other and smiled, and they knew that Langsdorff will ask this question, so I specially called Speer, who is in charge of the small space industry, to the war situation center. At this time, it is his turn.

As the person in charge of the entire industrial system of small space, Speer has various data They were all firmly remembered in his mind, and he didn’t even need to read the text in his hand at this moment. He said softly:"Previously, on Yuntong Island, a guard fleet, a patrol fleet, a escort fleet for several resource points, and a main fleet were established. After reorganization, all the warships built in the small space were used, and not a single one was left."

"Today's small space warships have all been recently built and launched. Not counting those still under construction on the slipway, the warships that have been launched and assigned personnel include 3 Valiant-class light aircraft carriers, 6 Borg-class escort aircraft carriers, and 3 Dungeon-class warships. Kirk-class battleships and 6 Lion-class battlecruisers."

When Langsdorf heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face, and he continued to ask:"That's it, where is the heavy cruiser? There are also light cruisers and destroyers. The construction speed of those small and medium-sized battleships is very fast."[]

Although there are a full 18 main battleships, Langsdorff is not satisfied. For the tasks that the current guard fleet has to undertake, what is lacking is not main battleships at all, but a large number of small and medium-sized battleships. , Speer's answer certainly did not satisfy him.

Unexpectedly, Speer spread his hands helplessly and explained:"General Langsdorff, you don't know something. Previously, there were only 3 shipyards in a small space, and they could only start building 30 warships at the same time. Most of them The slipway is used to build the main battleships just mentioned."

"The remaining slipways produced a large number of Type XXI submarines. As you know, in our battle with Island No. 308 this time, the losses of the submarine force were considerable. In addition, according to the commander's order, on Yuntong Island The security fleet of the island and No. 308 will also be equipped with submarine units. Langsdorff frowned and continued to ask:"Mr. Speer, can you adjust the construction sequence and build a batch of small and medium-sized warships for the guard fleet first?""

This time Speer nodded without any hesitation and said:"Mr. Langsdorf, there is no need to adjust the construction sequence. Seven new shipyards have been built in a small space, and the battleship construction plan has been arranged. This batch of construction The plan includes 8 New Orleans-class heavy cruisers, 16 Southampton-class light cruisers, and 50 Fletcher-class destroyers."

When he heard that so many warships were being built at one time, and they were all small and medium-sized warships that were urgently needed by the guard fleet, Langsdorff's eyes lit up, and he immediately said to Ye Bai and Nimitz:"Sir, Chief of Staff, I request that This batch of warships was added to the guard fleet."

Ye Bai laughed when he heard this, and then said:"Originally, these battleships were prepared to expand the main fleet. Nimitz and I planned to establish another squadron in the main fleet. In addition to what Speer just mentioned Before those small and medium-sized battleships, other slipways were building Ark Royal-class light aircraft carriers, Nelson-class battleships and Dunkirk-class battlecruisers."

"Dunkirk-class battlecruiser pass?"

Langsdorff's eyes widened and he looked at Ye Bai in disbelief. He seemed to be saying,"Sir, I don't have much education. Don't lie to me. The Dunkirk class is a genuine battleship. , did you say the wrong thing?"

"Cough cough cough."

Nimitz coughed slightly, attracting Langsdorff's attention, and then explained:"This is my suggestion. In terms of the performance of the Dunkirk-class battleship, it is classified as a battleship. It's a bit reluctant, but it's not out of date. It's better to modify the power system, reduce some armor protection, and change it into a battlecruiser."
