Chapter 270 Nine: Aircraft Carrier Conception

The Japanese warships were equipped with advanced equipment, and they immediately learned through the satellite system that the enemy fighter planes were the last to arrive. The captain was so angry that he slapped the console and cursed: "Baga, how could it be an enemy fighter plane? Our air warriors They all went there, didn't they wake up today?"

Du Guoyu and the others had limited equipment, and it wasn't until five fighter planes circled in a herringbone formation from the air to the sky over the sea area where the incident occurred, that he realized that it was his own people!Du Guoyu couldn't help but said happily: "It's our fighter! Let's see if those little devils dare to be arrogant!"

But just when the air fighters had just occupied a favorable space, the six fighters of *** had already roared in.Although they were only a few minutes late, the sky above the sea area where the incident occurred was already occupied by the Chinese side, and they didn't dare to rush in easily, so they could only cruise around.

The scene fell into a stalemate again, and no one dared to make dangerous moves, for fear of causing misunderstandings and triggering a full-scale war between the two sides!

After a few minutes of stalemate, Du Guoyu suddenly received an order from his father, ordering him to act as soon as possible to end the confrontation. After 15 minutes, the air support fighter planes will turn back.

Gao Wenhua, who was far away in Helian, also heard Commander Du's order, and couldn't help being taken aback. He asked Xu Li beside him, "What's going on? Why did Commander Du make the plane reverse course?"

Xu Li reacted immediately when he heard Commander Du's order, and said with a long sigh: "Our fighters are slightly inferior to the Japanese in terms of performance and weaponry, and more importantly, our air base is far away from the incident. The sea is far away and the fuel is limited, if the fighter does not return, it will only sink into the sea!"

Gao Wenhua slapped his thigh hard, and said: "I never thought that our economy has been developed for decades, but our military strength has not increased. I am stumped by this small problem! If only our country could have a few aircraft carriers like the United States. , just drive to their door to see if they dare to show off their power!"

After hearing this, Xu Li's heart was moved. Since World War II, decades of history have proved that aircraft carriers do play an irreplaceable and important role, and they are even called mobile land.In recent years, in the United States' overseas wars against Iraq and Afghanistan, the role of aircraft carriers has been crucial.However, as a country with a large population and a powerful military in the world, China has not had an aircraft carrier until now, which does not match its own strength!

The main subjective reason why China does not have an aircraft carrier formation so far is that there is no plan to formulate and implement an aircraft carrier in the current national defense strategy design.The first is the traditional and conservative view of military strategy, and the second is the conservative and outdated homeland defense and political theory.

China has always been a country with a large army. The army is the main force. All wars are won by the army. The air force is only an auxiliary force, and the navy is a secondary auxiliary force.The establishment of New China relied entirely on the army. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the US military with aircraft carriers was still defeated by volunteers without a navy. This made some people think that the land is the main battlefield, the army is the main service, and the army still dominates the war. The aircraft carrier has no effect.

And the "atomic bomb decisive victory theory" has confirmed the uselessness of aircraft carriers. After nuclear missiles are put into the arsenal, they have mastered the ultimate means of deciding everything. We should not waste money on aircraft carriers, which are outdated "money-burning machines". .

At the same time, China's strategic thinking also determines the fact that aircraft carriers cannot form an army.China pursues a national defense strategy, and its navy is only for offshore defense, and has no mission for ocean operations.China will never invade other countries, will not send a single soldier overseas, and will not fight overseas in the future.Therefore, there is no need for the Chinese Navy to equip aircraft carriers.

In addition to these subjective reasons, the lack of objective conditions for building an aircraft carrier is also true.The first is the limitation of national naval power.It is impossible for a navy that is weak and has a low level of modernization to operate a huge aircraft carrier battle group.Second, there are level restrictions on military, industry and technology.Again, it is the limitation of the country's economic capacity.The cost of an aircraft carrier is high, and there are also huge initial development costs, as well as the purchase of carrier-based aircraft, personnel training, and the cost of the attached ships.The maintenance and operating costs of an aircraft carrier battle group during its entire life cycle are more like a bottomless pit. The establishment cost of an aircraft carrier formation in the United States is at least about 100 billion U.S. dollars, which does not include the subsequent operating costs. Only about 30 years, which makes many people even more daunting.

It is these subjective and objective reasons that my country has no aircraft carrier.The navy has always lacked a protagonist, and it has been unable to protect the country's maritime territorial sovereignty and safeguard the country's maritime rights and interests.

But now it is the 21st century, and the international and domestic situations have undergone fundamental changes.

The earth is a water sphere, and human evolution also began in the ocean.Entering the 21st century, human beings have followed the footsteps of their ancestors and faced the ocean.The unprecedented improvement of the status of the sea makes the role of the navy more important.

As a large country near the sea, China has a vast sea area, a long coastline, and extensive interests in ocean and islands, so it cannot but attach importance to the development of its navy.Although, after more than 60 years, the Chinese navy has developed from nearshore defense to offshore defense, from yellow water to blue water, and has become an important force for safeguarding the peaceful development of the nation and the national maritime interests.However, in the face of the encroachment on my country's maritime sovereignty by various countries, especially neighboring countries, the severe situation of other countries vying for our maritime interests, and the increasingly prominent needs of my country's ocean-going development, the limitations of our navy's military capabilities have become increasingly prominent.

The 21st century is also an era in which the level of human civilization has improved, science and technology have accelerated development, and world peace and development have become the theme.The purpose of war is for profit rather than destruction, which determines the limitation of the use of force in war. Nuclear weapons can only be used as a strategic deterrent and cannot be applied to actual wars.It can control the war within a certain range of time and space, which is why the aircraft carrier cannot be replaced by other weapons.

The aircraft carrier is the best choice for the battlefield of limited warfare extending from land to sea under high-tech conditions.The aircraft carrier is a convenient condition for the team to win a decisive victory and a reliable guarantee for reducing war losses.The aircraft carrier is a means of modern warfare adapted to the conditions of using high-tech weapons and equipment.It is a means of combat and diplomacy that can control the situation with ease under the requirements of limited war objectives and limited war scale.

The development of China's shipbuilding industry in recent years has laid a solid foundation for the construction of a blue-water navy.There should be a foundation for building aircraft carriers and other large warships with a displacement of [-] tons.There are also many solutions in terms of ship design, special materials, and marine turbine motors.It is estimated that China has basically met the conditions for building and operating aircraft carriers in terms of industry, technology, economy and national integrated strength.
