Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 864 Recommendations
The Battle of the Coral Sea was a battle where the devils and the Yingjiang fleet had no direct contact. In the traditional mode, the majestic battleships and cruisers did not even have a chance to fire during the battle.

If there is, it is anti-aircraft guns for air defense.

But everyone knows that this is very passive in front of bombers and torpedo planes that are fast and have huge lethal aerial bombs and torpedoes.

Wang Xuexin believes that Admiral Yingjiang has faintly felt that naval battles with aircraft carriers are likely to develop in this direction.

But the admiral was not sure.

Because, who knows if this could be a coincidence?
Just because it happened this time doesn't mean it will be the same next time.

What if the next time it develops into a confrontation between cannons and giant ships?

This issue may seem unimportant, but it is actually related to the fate of the navy.

If the future naval battle mode is like the Coral Sea naval battle, where the fleets of both sides do not contact or have little chance of contact, then the battleships of the cannon giants should be eliminated.

Because battleships are aimed at enemy warships, they have heavy armor and powerful anti-ship firepower, but at the same time, they are expensive and have insufficient speed and adaptability. This feature is destined to become a target for enemy aircraft...it can't play much in battle However, it can empty out the resources of the navy.

If the future naval battle mode remains unchanged as before, the Coral Sea battle is just an exception. At this time, if the admiral makes a decision to eliminate battleships and develop aircraft carriers...the result is needless to say, Admiral Yingjiang Stack resources on the carrier and become a target for enemy battleships.

So the admiral was in a dilemma.

Contact or non-contact warfare!
Which one is correct?
From the perspective of modern people, there is no doubt that the mode of modern naval warfare is basically non-contact warfare. Battleships no longer exist, so destroyers, frigates, and anti-ship capabilities have not been the focus for a long time. The focus is on air defense, anti-ship and anti-submarine The strategic purpose of the capability is not to be the main force of the war, but to protect the aircraft carrier... In other words, the protagonist is definitely the aircraft carrier, the core of a fleet.

But that is from a modern point of view.

At this time the admiral is at a crossroads and needs an advice as to whether to go left or right.

Wang Xuexin didn't say much, because he knew that this question could not be explained clearly to a layman like Sun Erwei. If the admiral was in front of him, Wang Xuexin could have a chat with him and analyze every detail and reason clearly... …which is not difficult for modern people who know the answer.

After thinking about it, Wang Xuexin decided to make a long story short and start with the most convincing point.

"Let's put it this way!" Wang Xuexin said: "My suggestion is this: you can think about radar including air-to-ship radar. Many flaws, but... technology is always improving, and one day the detection range of radar will far exceed the range of cannon!"

Speaking of this, Wang Xuexin stopped talking.

Sun Erwei took a pen to record. He thought Wang Xuexin hadn't finished speaking, so he raised his head and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Gone!"

"No more?" Sun Er prestige turned to Wang Xuexin, with a look of astonishment: "This... is it a suggestion?"

"Yes!" Wang Xuexin nodded.

Sun Erwei was a little angry. He closed the notebook in his hand and said, "Wang, this is a proposal worth tens of millions of dollars. I don't think your perfunctory attitude will satisfy them..."

"No, Sun Erwei!" Wang Xuexin interrupted Sun Erwei: "On the contrary, my suggestion is far more than tens of millions of dollars for the gyroscope. I am thinking, should you give me another 1 gyroscopes!"

Sun Erwei laughed: "Are you kidding? It's not funny at all!"

But seeing the serious look on Wang Xuexin's face, Sun Erwei was sure that Wang Xuexin was not joking, he shook his head in disbelief: "You are crazy! I will tell you what will happen, they may cancel this gyroscope shipment, You won't get anything, and I... will be scolded by them!"

"Don't worry, Sun Erwei!" Wang Xuexin said: "This is my suggestion! You can choose not to send it back to Yingjiang, this is your freedom. But...you may have to take greater risks for this!"

Sun Erwei was stunned.

Wang Xuexin is right, no matter how absurd this so-called "suggestion" Wang Xuexin gave, it is his duty to send this "suggestion" back to Ying Jiang.

Fat, at most he was scolded.

If you don't post it, that's dereliction of duty, and this is a big problem.

Sun Erwei sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, you win!"

After saying that, he took his notebook and left without saying hello.

Sun Erwei even hesitated when he returned to his office, whether to send it back to Yingjiang or not.

But considering the seriousness of the problem, it was finally made.

However, he added a sentence at the end of the telegram: "I am just stating the suggestion of the Huaxia Battalion Commander truthfully."

The implication is that this suggestion has nothing to do with him, and he has done his job well.

Sun Erwei waited for more than half an hour, which was like sitting on pins and needles for him. He imagined countless times of criticism in his mind, and he could even see Colonel Smith's roar.

Then... what kind of punishment will it be?

Was transferred back to the country and thrown into the battlefield?
I heard that the islands in the Pacific Ocean are full of humidity, sweltering heat, and full of poisonous insects. If you go there, you will die from war or starvation and disease.

At this moment, the correspondent came with a telegram: "The colonel called back. He said that we have done a good job. The general is very satisfied with this suggestion. He asked us to express his gratitude to the Huaxia Battalion Commander. At the same time, 1 spinning tops The ceremony will be delivered on time, and the other 1 gyroscopes proposed by the Huaxia Battalion Commander are also acceptable, and the general will personally apply for the Eighth Route Army!"

Sun Erwei's jaw almost dropped when he heard this. He even suspected that the correspondent had read it wrong. He took the telegram and read it several times before he believed it was true.

What Sun Erwei didn't know was that the admiral was suddenly enlightened when he saw Wang Xuexin's suggestion.

"God, he's right!" The admiral jumped up from the rocking chair as if being pricked by a needle: "Radar, why didn't I think of radar?"

After walking a few steps, the admiral said excitedly: "As long as the radar is greatly developed, the enemy's fleet will inevitably be found beyond the visual range and of course beyond the range of the cannon. Then, will there be contact warfare?"

So the situation became clear. The future naval battles must be non-contact warfare, that is, the world dominated by aircraft carriers.
