The end of the military era

Otherwise, the Ministry of Finance has just allocated special military funds to the Royal Navy, and it is likely to be spent by Commander-in-Chief Wang soon. "

Zhou Rui said at this time: "In fact, it is not impossible to transform a large transport ship into an escort aircraft carrier."

Prince Zhou Jun was slightly taken aback: "What does the emperor mean?"

"Don't forget that our Han and Tang Empire also had an Dongfang-class container ship, which was considered to be transformed into an escort aircraft carrier at the beginning of its construction.

At the time of the last war, the Dongfang-class escort aircraft carrier transformed from this Dongfang-class container ship was able to take off and land jet carrier-based fighter jets. "

Chapter 335 Latent

Hearing Zhou Rui mentioning the Dongfang-class container ship, Prince Zhou Jun said with a wry smile: "Father, the Dongfang-class escort carrier is not a real aircraft carrier after all, and its defense capability is too weak.

Maybe a few anti-ship missiles can sink the Dongfang-class escort aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of more than 10 tons. "

In the last war with the Nine Military Alliance, the Han and Tang Empires transformed and built a total of 532 Dongfang-class escort aircraft carriers, of which 152 Dongfang-class escort aircraft carriers were sunk in the war, only the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empire In the decisive battle between the 12 main fleets and the joint fleet of nine navies, 137 escort aircraft carriers were sunk.

After the war, the remaining 380 Dongfang-class escort aircraft carriers were quickly removed from their air defense weapons, turned back into container ships, and assigned to the Hantang Empire Ocean Shipping Group.

Today, the Ocean Shipping Group, which is controlled by the imperial family of the Han and Tang Dynasties, still has 375 Dongfang-class container ships in use, and the other 5 Dongfang-class container ships have been scrapped and dismantled due to various accidents.

Zhou Rui nodded and said: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is true that the escort aircraft carrier cannot be used.

The loss of an escort aircraft carrier does not matter, but the loss of the officers and soldiers on it and the carrier-based aircraft equipped can be great. "

Prince Zhou Jun then said: "Father, several countries on the side of the Nine Military Alliance have made strong protests against our recruitment of reserve forces. In addition, the Liangyan Empire also aimed at our country's military expansion. It explains."

After Zhou Rui made up his mind to go to war against the Nine Military Alliance, the navy, land and air armies of the Han and Tang Empire immediately started the expansion plan.

汉唐帝国皇家海军除了加快60艘浮云级航空母舰的服役速度之外，还解封了被封存起来的298艘航空母舰、712艘导弹战列舰、208艘导弹战列巡洋舰、2050艘导弹巡洋舰和1360艘导弹驱逐舰。

In order to equip the officers and soldiers of these warships, more than 300 million reserve officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy were recruited.

The Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empire planned to expand the original 120 group armies and 1000 garrison brigades into 150 group armies and 1000 garrison divisions.

In addition to the reorganization of 30 new group armies, the reorganized garrison divisions have the same organization as the infantry divisions under the group army, with 2 mechanized infantry brigades, 2 motorized infantry brigades and 1 division headquarters. The force is around 4.

The main difference between a mechanized infantry brigade and a motorized infantry brigade is that the former mainly rides in infantry armored vehicles, while the latter mainly rides in cars.

In addition, the motorized infantry brigade mainly uses individual weapons, while the mechanized infantry brigade mainly uses vehicle-mounted weapons, such as artillery, anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, vehicle-mounted mortars, vehicle-mounted howitzers, etc. Individual weapons are secondary.

After the expansion plan of the Imperial Army of the Han and Tang Dynasties is completed, its total strength will rise to 7000 million.

Even the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires recalled many pilots who had transferred to civil aviation to the army.

There is no way to hide such a big move of the Han and Tang Empire from other countries. The countries of the Nine Military Alliance have no choice but to bite the bullet and maintain the current size of the army. Some countries even have to recruit some recruits to supplement losses in previous wars.

We must know that within the Nine Military Alliance, a war has just ended. According to common sense, after the war is over, the troops expanded during the war should be reduced as soon as possible to reduce military expenditures.

It is a pity that because of the actions of the Han and Tang Empires, the six orc countries and the three elf countries did not dare to reduce the number of troops.

Zhou Rui frowned slightly, "It's normal for the Nine Military Alliance to protest, I didn't expect that even the Liangyan Empire would dare to ask our Han and Tang Empire to give an explanation.

It seems that if the tiger does not show its power, the Liangyan Empire really treats our Han and Tang Empires as a sick cat. "

With a land area of ​​about 620 million square kilometers and a population of about 36 billion, the Liangyan Empire is the only human country other than the Han and Tang Empires.

The entire Eastern Continent is currently divided by the Han and Tang Empires, but the Han and Tang Empires occupy an area of ​​more than 7000 million square kilometers in the Eastern Continent.

About 12 years ago, a coup took place in the Liangyan Empire.

At that time, Fan Xin, the second prince of the Liangyan Empire, took advantage of the fact that Emperor Fan Yi was seriously ill and was bedridden, so he suddenly put Prince Fan Pu under house arrest and sealed off the palace.

Finally, after the death of Emperor Fan Yi, Fan Xin became the new emperor of the Liangyan Empire.

After Fan Xin ascended the throne, he began to crack down on some domestic monopoly consortiums, nationalized many mine resources and oil field resources, and started a series of economic reforms.

Now the economic reforms of the Liangyan Empire have achieved initial results, allowing the Liangyan Empire to have a large amount of funds that can be invested in armaments.

Prince Zhou Jun said: "Father, the Royal Intelligence Bureau has achieved great results in the Liangyan Empire over the years. Can we consider solving the Liangyan Empire's problems?"

Zhou Rui shook his head and said: "Let's take advantage of the fact that the war within the Nine Military Alliance has just ended, first solve the problem of the Nine Military Alliance, and then study the Liangyan Empire!

Anyway, the Liangyan Empire is already the meat on the cutting board of our Han and Tang Empires, and we can eat it whenever we want. "

Crown Prince Zhou Jun nodded and said: "According to the situation of the Liangyan Empire, it is indeed no longer a threat to our Han and Tang Empire.

I advocate taking action against the Liangyan Empire because the navy and air force of the Liangyan Empire can increase our Han and Tang Empire's chances of winning in the face of the Nine Military Alliance. "

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "The navy and air force of the Liangyan Empire have developed really well.

I have already regarded the navy and air force of the Liangyan Empire as a trump card of our Han and Tang Empire. "

In a large hall of the imperial palace in Lingyang City, the capital of the Liangyan Empire, Emperor Fan Xin asked Wang Gang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force of the Liangyan Empire, "How many fighter jets are the Air Force currently equipped with?"

Wang Gang, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Air Force of the Liangyan Empire, immediately replied: "Your Majesty, our Royal Air Force has already equipped more than 2000 fourth-generation fighter jets. In addition, our Royal Air Force also has more than 6000 third-generation fighter jets."

Emperor Fan Xin sighed and said: "Recently, the Han and Tang Empires have expanded their military force very vigorously. Although it is aimed at the Nine Military Alliance, our Liangyan Empire has to guard against it.

The speed at which the air force is equipped with fourth-generation fighter jets must be accelerated, and the air force must have at least tens of thousands of advanced fighter jets. Only when I face the Han and Tang empires can I have confidence in my heart. "

Compared with the fourth-generation fighters, the third-generation fighters are slightly behind in terms of performance, but they are not helpless against the fourth-generation fighters, and the two third-generation fighters currently equipped by the Liangyan Empire are comprehensive. In terms of performance, it even surpasses the third-generation fighter jets equipped by the air forces of many countries.

Wang Gang immediately said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, according to the production capacity of several large aircraft factories in our Liangyan Empire, our Air Force will be able to have tens of thousands of fighter jets within a year."

Emperor Fan Xin then asked Sun Baogang, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy of the Liangyan Empire: "How many fourth-generation carrier-based fighter jets does the navy currently have?"

目前梁燕帝国的海军拥有140艘航空母舰，其中包括了20艘满载排水量25万吨的蜂巢级航空母舰、20艘满载排水量42吨的鹰巢级航空母舰、20艘满载排水量为58吨的山峰级航空母舰、40艘满载排水量135万吨的河流级航空母舰、40艘满载排水量278万吨的湖泊级航空母舰。

另外梁燕帝国的海军还拥有88艘导弹战列舰、68艘导弹战列巡洋舰、226艘导弹巡洋舰、286艘导弹驱逐舰、450艘导弹护卫舰和260艘攻击潜艇，其整体实力，甚至不比金狮帝国的海军弱多少。

Sun Baogang, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy of the Liangyan Empire, said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, our Royal Navy is currently only equipped with more than 1000 fourth-generation carrier-based fighter jets. On average, each of the 40 Lake-class aircraft carriers can only be equipped with more than 20 aircraft carriers for the time being." Fourth-generation carrier-based fighter.

Most of the production capacity of several large aircraft factories has been taken up by the Air Force's Caifeng-class fighter jets.

According to the standard equipment of the Lake-class aircraft carrier, it can carry 96 Baidiao-class carrier-based fighters and 96 Black Eagle-class carrier-based fighters. "

The Baidiao-class carrier-based fighter jets and the Black Eagle-class carrier-based fighter jets are fourth-generation carrier-based fighter jets independently developed and produced by the Liangyan Empire, and the Caifeng-class fighter jets are fourth-generation fighter jets equipped by the Liangyan Empire Air Force.

Emperor Fan Xin then turned his head and said to Prime Minister Zhu Honggui: "Expand the production capacity of those large aircraft factories as much as possible, and our Liangyan Empire has more fourth-generation fighter jets, so we dare to say 'no' to the Han and Tang Empire. "

Prime Minister Zhu Honggui nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm already making arrangements to add new production lines to several large aircraft factories."

At this time, Geng An, commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Liangyan Empire, complained, "Your Majesty, our Royal Army is almost like a stepmother.

Now the armies of various countries have equipped a large number of third-generation main battle tanks, but our Royal Army is still equipped with second-generation main battle tanks.

When will our Royal Army be equipped with third-generation main battle tanks? "
