blood feud

"Brother, good news!" Bai Shujie was worrying about Lu Yunlong and the others accidentally sinking an enemy ship. Zhao Jinxi came in with a telegram in person: "The fleet from the United States has arrived at Guam and Capone. Destroyers have converged!"

“这一次我们实力大增了，美国人给我们制造的1艘航母、1艘战列舰都回来了。剩下的4架轰炸机、125架fl36g攻击机（双机体的黑寡妇攻击机）全部在航空母舰上。”

"According to your order, 322 FL38G all-weather fighters (Mustang fighters) have only assembled 125 carrier-based aircraft, and the rest are parts and shipped back in containers."

"Because the Americans did not assemble it, 19% of the workload was saved. However, Lan Caiqin did not ask for a refund, but purchased 48 spare parts of FL38G all-weather fighters after conversion. According to the original standard, the spare parts are one Two to two, one to one engine."

"The ones that have been installed this time are the remaining 17 b-14 bombers (sky fortresses) and 3 dc-20 transport aircraft. So this time, three freighters with a [-]-ton class were used, and they flew into two layer to complete the loading task."

Bai Shujie was not overly happy, but asked calmly: "Caiqin said in the telegram, how are the 360 ​​pilots we trained over there now, can the carrier-based aircraft fly?"

"Look at what you said!" Zhao Jinxi gave a very dissatisfied look: "The 125 fl36g attack aircraft were all flown to the aircraft carrier. It was said in the telegram that on the way back, they kept flying every day. Taking off and landing training means adapting to flying under different conditions."

"It is precisely because of the large amount of training that the fuel consumption is serious. They also know that our family is short of fuel, so after refueling at Midway Island, they let all the ships reach the maximum displacement in Guam before returning. 124 carrier-based aircraft You can take to the air to fight at any time, you can rest assured."

"The problem now is that Lan Caiqin has also received Wang Xinlan's foreign statement in the UK. Americans seem to be very uninterested in our tough attitude. However, Lan Caiqin is worried that the night will be long and dreamy, so after Wang Xinlan remits the money, She just brought these things up in cash."

Bai Shujie nodded: "Caiqin is indeed a unique person, and her keen sense of timing is great. This time I used cash to pick up the goods, well done! If this is the case, you call the fleet back and give them Lu Yunlong's call sign. Let them make an appointment and come back together. There are so many people, even if the little devil wants to play tricks, he must weigh it carefully."

Zhao Jinxi also smiled and said: "With the European team together, we have 10 submarines on the seabed, five surface warships, and two of them are aircraft carriers and three battleships with powerful firepower. They are quite impressive. One of the little devils The fleet can't handle it."

Bai Shujie shook his head: "We have more and more equipment, but it doesn't mean that our combat effectiveness has improved. Now the training tasks are getting heavier and heavier. I have been focusing on military research recently and have not gone to see it. Gan Tong is now patrolling the training of various troops. Situation, how is the situation?"

"The training of the heavy bomber squadron and the carrier-based aircraft squadron started the earliest and achieved the most remarkable results." Zhao Jinxi said with a downcast expression: "In order to meet the British aircraft carrier, the pilots paid a huge sacrifice. Now 91 people have been able to They take off and land on the ground. But they all take off and land on the ground. Once they are in the sea, whether they can land the plane on the aircraft carrier is still a problem.”

Bai Shujie said helplessly: "There is no future without sacrifice. Our time is too short, and we don't have enough time to waste. Don't worry about it. I need to verify some data recently. Otherwise, the new equipment will not be effective. .”

Just as Zhao Jinxi was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and said, "Also, Capone and the others have done several big-ticket projects in a row in the past half a year or so. Because of the wide-ranging implications, they dare not send money to other places. Now ask what should we do."

"What did they do?" Bai Shujie was also taken aback: "Capone is not afraid of anything, why is there something he is worried about?"

Zhao Jinxi is also not sure: "They once robbed seven oil tankers and a cruise ship belonging to the little devil, and they also robbed the Dutch tanker Sanoda. Capone did not participate in that time, but at the new base, called What Magu Island seems to be a circular island."

"As a result, his subordinates went out to do this, and then hid 8 ships on an unnamed island more than 800 nautical miles southeast of Taiwan Island, and then sent those people to the Celebes Sea in the south of the Philippines, where they were thrown on an uninhabited island. It's on. They have been tossing for more than two months just for this single business."

"Because Capone couldn't figure out whether the Dutchmen who were thrown on the desert island were dead or alive, that's why he was in a hurry. Now those boats are hidden there and dare not move. He wants to ask you how to deal with it."

Bai Shujie thought for a while, walked to the front of the map and looked at it for a long time, and finally said: "Don't go to the place where the boat is hidden for now. Since it is a deserted island, there should be no one going there recently. I took this business, and it counts as 500 for him." Ten thousand dollars, I will send someone to deal with it when the time comes."

It turned out that Bai Shujie discovered the location of Capone's hidden ship, probably not far from Bashigo Island.This place is now a cross-section of forces between the Americans and the little devils, and it is also a vacuum.It would be better if he didn't move, but if he moved again, both the big Americans and the little devils would probably be alarmed.

It's better to be still than to move, wait for the opportunity to talk.

Thinking of this, Bai Shujie felt a little helpless: "Damn it, the godfather of the mafia really has nothing under his command and dares to do anything. According to their votes, the seven tankers have at least 17 tons of oil."

"Because in my memory, the oil tanker Seroda in the Netherlands seems to be a [-]-ton, or at least a [-]-ton, transoceanic tanker. Tons of oil! You remember this matter, and remind me to deal with it after a while."

Knowing that the aircraft carrier is coming back soon, Bai Shujie has been busy with blocking the cables recently.Palm rope and hemp rope have been tested many times, and steel wire rope has also been tested.

Regarding aircraft carriers, Bai Shujie is a layman, and has never been on an aircraft carrier in his previous life.A lot of knowledge is seen from the Internet, I can only say that I know what's going on.

Fortunately, the speed of aircraft in this era is not high, and the weight is not too large.Even if there is no arresting wire, if it is a biplane propeller aircraft, it can take off and land directly.Just like the last time he parked the plane on the Akagi by himself.

However, in order to increase the power of the aircraft carrier, Bai Shujie plans to use a heavy attack aircraft as a carrier aircraft, that is to say, he plans to put an attack aircraft with a take-off weight close to ten tons on the aircraft carrier.In this way, the arresting wire becomes the most important problem.

Of course, adding a steel wire in the middle of the oil-soaked hemp rope increases its strength. Bai Shujie understands this truth, after all, he has seen the scene of a large crane using oil-soaked hemp rope before.

This kind of thick hemp rope used as a cable is definitely not acceptable by hand. In addition, a steel wire needs to be added inside, and twisted rope equipment must be used.At the same time, even if the arresting cable is not damaged, it must be replaced every 80-100 times of use, and what is needed is speed.

It used to be impossible to solve the problem of twisting the rope, but now various processing factories are equipped with complete equipment. After more than half a month of experiments, adding steel wires to the hemp rope is no longer a problem.The first batch of 35 meters of arresting cables with a diameter of 5000mm has been soaked in engine oil and can be taken out for use at any time.

Having the arresting wire is the first step, the worst thing is how to add a tail hook to the aircraft!

The fundamental reason why Bai Shujie sent a telegram to Lan Caiqin in the United States to ask the manufacturer not to assemble the aircraft was to add a tail hook!

Adding a tail hook is very simple in theory, but it is a very complicated technical problem, and even the structure of the aircraft needs to be changed!

Heavy attack aircraft, heavy fighter jets, and even medium bombers board the ship, and when they land, they have a lot of inertia.If the tailhook problem is not resolved, it could have disastrous consequences.

The F1942U Corsair fighter jet produced by the United States in 4 was originally prepared for the Army Aviation, and later the Navy Aviation also wanted it.

But the war was too tense, and there was no time to redesign, so he was forced to board the ship. As a result, when the plane landed, the tail hook hooked the arresting wire, and the plane was directly pulled into two sections.

Therefore, Bai Shujie wants to increase the strength of the airframe, change the structure of the connecting tail hook parts, and ensure that the aircraft will not fall apart. This is the first problem he wants to verify.

Another problem is that when the aircraft uses the arresting cable, the nose of the aircraft will fall down, and even the nose of the aircraft may hit the deck, causing major safety accidents.

The Americans later f35c was the most advanced high-tech fighter, but when they first experimented with arresting cables on the ground, the nose of the plane broke the nose landing gear and hit the ground directly, almost The plane crashed and people died.

Aircraft in this era basically take off at short distances, and the length of the runway is less than 300 meters.Take the DC-3 medium-range transport aircraft that is coming back soon, with a maximum take-off weight of 14 tons, a take-off run distance of 455 meters, and a landing run distance of only 430 meters.

So now there is no catapult on the aircraft carrier, but it taxis directly to take off.It's just that when the plane takes off, the aircraft carrier has to go against the wind, and provide the plane with a greater speed-up ratio through relative motion, so that the plane can leave the ship quickly.

Of course, there are also catapults in this era, but they are installed on heavy cruisers and battleships to directly eject light water reconnaissance aircraft, not the kind of power-assisted catapults mentioned by later aircraft carriers.

However, Bai Shujie has already assigned to the research institute the research topic of "carrier-specific catapult", and must complete theoretical preparations within two years and come up with the most basic design ideas.

Specifically, it is divided into steam catapult and aerodynamic catapult. With the continuous progress of electromagnetism, it is necessary to study the possibility of electromagnetic catapult.

Don't blame Bai Shujie for looking for trouble, because he knows very well that jet aircraft will be produced soon.At that time, without a catapult, it is impossible to get on the aircraft carrier.

Because in less than ten years, the maximum speed of the aircraft will exceed 750 km/h and be raised to 1100 km/h.Then it continuously broke through 2000 km/h and 3000 km/h.

People without thought, he must worry about.

It is impossible for Bai Shujie to be a human being for two generations without knowing the truth that if he lags behind, he will be beaten.When the little devil has not yet realized the importance of the aircraft carrier catapult, basic research must be started as soon as possible.

The so-called ten years tree, a hundred years tree people.That's the reason.

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
