Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

But are those auxiliary ships really unimportant?

No, it is not unimportant. These auxiliary ships are more or less improving the strength of Daxia Navy.

For example, after Dong Shaoyang and others saw the carrier-based aircraft equipped with an aircraft carrier, he felt that if one day the enemy also had such an aircraft carrier, what should they do?

Therefore, Dong Shaoyang, who likes to regard himself as an imaginary enemy, began to design new ships for this situation.

First of all, Dong Shaoyang designed a frigate that was biased towards air defense.

On this frigate, the front and rear decks, where the main guns are placed, are replaced by three 30mm anti-aircraft guns.

The layout of two in the front and one in the back makes the entire ship's prevention and control capabilities beyond doubt.

In addition, there are four 20mm anti-aircraft guns in the middle of the ship.

There are two seats on each side on the left and right. As a result, the anti-aircraft firepower of the entire frigate is as high as 7 anti-aircraft guns, and this does not include anti-aircraft machine guns.

Of course, as a frigate, this kind of ship is also equipped with torpedo launchers.

Dong Shaoyang didn't believe it. In such a sky, there would be planes daring to approach.

A few more such anti-aircraft frigates can provide anti-aircraft firepower for the entire fleet. Moreover, in addition to anti-aircraft guns on frigates, anti-aircraft guns are also installed on other ships.

In addition to air defense frigates, Dong Shaoyang also optimized and upgraded anti-submarine frigates.

The mission of this kind of frigate is no longer air defense, but anti-submarine. This frigate is equipped with underwater sonar and depth charges.

Can attack submarines within 150 meters of water.

Considering that the empire might land on beaches in the future, Dong Shaoyang led people to study large landing craft.

This kind of landing craft has a very shallow draft and a relatively flat bottom, which allows the landing troops to choose to land in some relatively desolate places or with imperfect infrastructure, instead of having to seize ports as before.

It can be said that with such large landing ships and landing craft, the empire has more landing places to choose from.

An additional thing to mention here is that since the landing craft has a shallow draft, the landing craft is inside the landing craft when conducting ocean voyages.

After arriving at the landing area, the landing ship will open the hatch and release the landing craft.

Therefore, the landing ship and the landing craft are matched.

In addition, considering that when landing, there is a possibility of being attacked by the enemy, and the main gun of the battleship cannot accurately cover and clear a safe area, so Dong Shaoyang developed a rocket launcher with reference to Yang Bing and others, and came up with a method called landing. Support boat thing.

This kind of ship is not big. The whole ship is only more than 60 meters and the width is 20 meters.

The ship has a flat deck, with nothing else except a pilothouse, not even a main gun or a close-in defense gun.

However, his deck was densely packed with a large number of rocket launchers.

The deck of the entire ship is equipped with 480 rocket launcher mounts, and all these rockets can be shot out within 30 seconds.

And create a 150x750 meter fire coverage on the beach.

Dong Shaoyang had some evil thoughts, but if these ships were mixed with the landing craft, the enemies would definitely run out of the bunker and block his side if they saw that his side was about to land on the beach.

And at this time, the support ship will come up to the opponent for two rounds. When the time comes, the scene will be exciting.

In addition to these newly added ships, Dong Shaoyang has not given up upgrading existing ships.

For example, Dong Shaoyang increased the number of torpedo launchers on the destroyer, upgrading from the original left and right dual torpedo mounts to the left and right six torpedo mounts.

In order to install so many torpedo mounts, Dong Shaoyang had to remove the main gun on the destroyer's stern deck.

Because, Dong Shaoyang felt that the caliber of the destroyer's main gun was not large and its deterrence was limited, and it could not deter large ships.

In this case, it is better to remove the tail gun and replace it with a torpedo launcher. As a result, the threat of destroyers to large ships will not decrease but increase.

In addition, destroyers can be said to be the fastest among all surface ships, so after a naval battle breaks out, these destroyers will race on the battlefield and constantly change their direction.

At that time, the opponent's battleships will definitely be attracted by their own battleships, and then ignore their small, fast ships.

And as long as the opportunity is ripe, these destroyers will launch a wave of torpedo attacks for you, and you can achieve six-link attack with one click (six torpedoes on one side).

It is estimated that by then, the enemy's capital ship will be very uncomfortable. If this kind of large-caliber torpedo is hit by one, no matter who it is, it will cause heavy bleeding.

Dong Shaoyang may never have imagined that this whimsical change of his would directly create the reputation of the destroyer as a troublemaker on the battlefield.

In the end, as long as they fought against the Daxia Navy, this group of people had psychological shadows, fearing that a torpedo destroyer would appear from nowhere and hit him with a torpedo.

Later, when Lin Yi learned about this, he couldn't understand why Dong Shaoyang, who looked upright, always came up with such deceptive things?

Mix a rocket launcher support ship into the landing ship, and during the decisive battle at sea, let the destroyers gallop across the field with torpedoes, and give the opponent a big mouth when they take the time.

Of course, these words were just what Lin Yi was thinking in his mind and did not say them out loud.

After all, Lin Yi felt that there was nothing wrong with Dong Shaoyang's actions.

Some people may ask, you, Dong Shaoyang, are just the manager of the Ship Research Institute, and he does not direct naval battles. How can you blame Dong Shaoyang for this incident?

Have you ever thought about whether Dong Shaoyang, when delivering these ships, would give the people of the Navy how to use such ships to maximize their effectiveness?

This is like the merchant clearly telling you that a car is for driving and a bed for sleeping, but you just buy a car and then push it around instead of driving it.

Don't sleep in bed, but study in bed.

If you really do this, others will definitely say that you are reasonable but sick.

As the chief designer and manager of the Ship Research Institute, if I tell you how these ships should be used, will you choose to obey it, or will you refuse?

Most likely they will choose to follow Dong Shaoyang's arrangements. In this case, then this pot belongs to Dong Shaoyang.

After Dong Shaoyang knew that his reputation had spread abroad, he just smiled faintly, and then said that if conditions hadn't allowed him to do so, he would have had something better.

Of course, this is all a story for later.

Having said that, despite the fact that Daxia is now prosperous, all walks of life are developing.

National-level development projects are progressing steadily, and the people are prosperous. But looking around the world, it seems that everyone in the world, except for a few special countries, is not living a very good life.
