Second, the attempts of the government and the government authorities were hidden by the subsequent battle 4※

Beijing time. The third round of strategic strike network of the Republic's Sky Army had just ended. The "war mobilization meeting" of the deputy head of the Republic of China Jiao Shushan just came to an end. Several major naval bases in Russia in the Far East, namely the Pacific Fleet Fleet Command in Vladivostok and the Pacific Fleet home port, the Pacific Fleet Auxiliary Ship Base in Nakhodka, the offshore patrol fleet base in Nansakhalinsk, the Marine Fleet Base in Vanino, and the submarine base in Nikolayevsk

The integrated submarine base in Magadan and the long-range maritime patrol base in Petropavrovsk suffered devastating blows almost at the same time. According to the first reports, these most important military bases of the Russian Pacific Fleet were completely destroyed or completely paralyzed after several minutes of bombing. Among them, Magadan and Petropavrovsk were also hit by tactical nuclear weapons. Immediately afterwards, the report mentioned in the report that it was not the Republic's Sky Army, but the Republic's Navy that were responsible for this round of strike missions.

The actual situation is indeed the case. After the Sky Army and the Army were both put into battle, the Republic Navy finally came on stage and became crazy.

Although this round of attacks is not earth-shaking, it can be considered shocking. In any case, it is definitely not an easy task to attack so many military bases at the same time, and all of them are in the way. More importantly, this is a strike task undertaken by the navy alone and does not rely on other military branches. If we consider the main force of the Republic's Navy, that is, the aircraft carrier battle group deployed in the Western Pacific War Zone, was still operating in the waters south of the Japanese Xiaoliyuan Islands and did not go north immediately. Then this strike operation was even more extraordinary.

In fact, before this, many people ignored it, and even ignored the Republic's Navy.

In the eyes of many people, the Republic is adjacent to Russia, the local Northeast region and many military bases. The stage for naval performance is not large, and the Central Asian battlefield is far away from the ocean, so it is difficult for the navy to intervene.

In general, according to the usual thinking, before deciding to challenge the global hegemony of the US Navy, the main value of the Republic's Navy in the Western Pacific was to act as a mobile base and assist in strengthening the local peripheral defense line. Even for a secondary task, it would at most go between the first and second island chains. Deter the US Navy with offensive deployment and let the US Navy not act rashly. Pre-war deployment basically followed this tactical principle. There were only three of the Republic's Navy's oral aircraft carrier battle groups.

Stayed in the Western Pacific, and the home port was transferred from Naha to Zhoushan. Other aircraft carrier combat groups were deployed in Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean. The Western Pacific in the narrow sense did not include Southeast Asia. Among them, three aircraft carrier combat groups with the "Chongqing class as the core were all deployed in the Indian Ocean, and Gwadar was used as the home port. The Republic's dominance in the Persian Gulf, Arabian Sea and Red Sea was consolidated through offensive deployment, and it also suppressed Digo Garcia, the only military base in the Indian Ocean.

Because the deployment and mobilization of naval fleets are difficult to keep confidential, the pre-war deployment situation determined the basic tactics of the Republic's Navy in the early stages of the war.

From another perspective, in the war against Russia, the significance of Qin and the country seizing sea control is very slim.

Although some people believe that the United States and Russia have long been allied, and the United States promises to join the war after the Russian mainland was invaded, the United States will soon join the war after the war with Russia. Just from the perspective of war against Russia, the United States will not have the greatest impact on the United States, and will not have to go to the ground war on the mainland, but provide Russia with material support such as weapons, equipment, military resources, strategic materials, etc., and most of these materials must be transported by sea. From the United States to Russia, the shortest transportation route is not to go to the northern port of Russia through the North Atlantic Ocean, but to the North Pacific and to Russia's port in the Far East. In this way, the Republic is very necessary to seize the sea control power in the North Pacific, like blocking Japan back then, and preventing the US transport fleet from reaching Russia. But one must understand that 70% of Russia's population is in Europe. Half of it is

The industry is also in Europe. Imagine that if the Republican Army can win quickly on the ground battlefield, how much significance does the United States transport supplies to the Russian Far East? At that time, the United States can only deliver supplies to ports in Russia's European region. If the situation is completely opposite, that is, the Republican Army fails to win quickly, the United States will definitely do its best to help Russia overcome difficulties. The most effective way is to actively attack on the Pacific battlefield. With the strength of the Republic's Navy, the first thing to consider is not to seize sea control power, but to ensure local security. In other words, no matter what the battle on the mainland battlefield looks like, it is of little significance to seize sea control power in the North Pacific. Even in order to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Russian army, it is only necessary to complete the initial strategic strike. Using the strategic power of the Sky Army to attack Russia's ports in the Far East, there is no need to invest in precious naval fleets.

It is precisely this that the Republic's Navy moved the home port of the Western Pacific Fleet from Naha to Zhoushan and retreated thousands of kilometers.

In short, in the eyes of most people, including military experts, military commentators, and even generals from other countries, rather than using fleets to deal with the weak Russian Pacific fleet, it is better to pull out Digo Garcia and then concentrate on going south to attack Australia. From a long-term perspective, the Republic's "sea talent" can go south. And whether Australia can be defeated in time will determine whether it can defeat the United States in a few ways.

You should know that "more than four years ago, the Japanese Navy was able to successfully attack Pearl Harbor and almost paralyzed the US Pacific Fleet. It was because on the way south, they fought too hard on an island called Guadalcanal, and they suffered meaningless losses in the Coral Sea Battle, resulting in two attack aircraft carriers missing in the Midway Battle. In the end, the US Navy, which had only whipped aircraft carriers, was seized by the US Navy, which had only whipped aircraft carriers, and turned the situation around in one fell swoop. If the Japanese Navy's "Ruihe" and "Shokhe" aircraft carriers were not severely damaged in the Coral Sea Battle, they would follow the joint fleet to participate in the combat operations on the attack of Midway.

The Pacific Fleet has to face a strong enemy that is twice as strong as it is. No matter how powerful Nimitz is, Spruins is, it will be difficult to win a complete victory at the end of the Midway Naval Battle. The US Navy basically fought all the carrier-based aircraft on the whip carrier. It is basically impossible to kill other Japanese aircraft carriers, and it may even lose the Midway Naval Battle. It can be said that even if Japan cannot win the final victory of the Pacific War, and does not lose in the Midway Naval Battle, it will also be in the next naval battle, such as the Oahu Naval Battle, and will eventually lose a huge defeat. However, Japan can at least take advantage of this for a few more years, and may even make the United States give up its unconditional surrender and withdraw from the war in a more decent way.

Of course, the current Republic is definitely not the Japan of that time

Just from the perspective of pure war, if the Republic, which was suppressed by the United States in the Western Pacific region, needs to actively attack if it wants to win the Pacific War. The naval fleet is the foundation of active attack and the fundamental to victory. When the fleet's strength is not as strong as the United States, the Republic's Navy has no reason to waste precious troops in secondary directions and must concentrate the fleet in the main direction. This is also the main reason why the Republic's Navy deployed three aircraft carrier battle groups in the narrow and shore bases in Southeast Asia. The shore base can be used as a defensive support point, or as a rear base during attack, but it cannot become an offensive support point!

Only the fleet can support cross-ocean attacks.

It can be seen from this that the Republic's Navy suddenly exerted force in the direction of Russia, which not only unexpectedly, but also left people with huge room for speculation.

Of course, it must be admitted that this is a very typical and successful strike.

According to the war report released by the Republic Navy a few days later, the main force of the strike operation was the naval aviation, and its main weapons were various long-range ammunition. During the continuous bombing of the bell, the Republic's naval aviation, naval warships, and various combat ships threw more than four tons of Wei's ammunition at multiple targets, including Zhang Yu Cruise missiles, Mu Concao Yu Long-range ground missiles, Concao Yu Gliding bombs, and about four long-range artillery shells. Although the total amount of ammunition dropped was not very large, the amount of bombs per unit time was very quiet. Therefore, the strike came very fiercely and ended very suddenly.

What really attracts attention is the Republic's Navy's military strength and firepower delivery platform.

The combat aircraft invested by the Navy Aviation Corps is not bad. As mentioned earlier, after the Republic Air Force was incorporated into the Sky Army, the heavy fighter unit was incorporated into the Navy Aviation Corps. Although the Republic Air Force and the Navy have always insisted on jointly developing heavy fighter jets, and since childhood, there have been differences between naval and air force, but this does not mean that the Air Force's heavy fighter jets can be deployed on the aircraft carrier. The actual situation is that most of the Air Force's heavy fighter jets can only be deployed on the shore base. The reason is very simple. The Air Force type has no time-reinforced structure, so it cannot withstand the huge overload during takeoff and landing on the aircraft carrier, so it is naturally unable to deploy on the aircraft carrier. Affected by this, after receiving the Air Force's heavy fighter jet unit, HNA has re-established the shore-based aviation corps.

The fighter troops had already cancelled the shore-based fighter troops, retained only patrol aircraft and other support troops, and undertake some of the national air defense tasks, mainly facing the Western Pacific. Together with the heavy fighter troops, there are air bases in the coastal areas of the Republic and all air bases in the Western Pacific. In other words, the naval aviation troops of the Republic do not lack air bases, and when heavy fighter aircraft perform ground strike missions, the combat radius is mostly above kilometers of Jiangkou. If supported by tankers, it can be increased to more than 4,000 meters. Therefore, fighter jets taken off from the Republic's mainland, or military bases in the Korean Peninsula, Ryukyu Islands, Japan and other places are enough to cover the Russian Far East and can even fly to Magadan.

The key is, what warships did the Republic's Navy use to launch cruise missiles and long-range artillery shells?

First of all, it must be emphasized that a cruise missile in a narrow sense refers to a strategic cruise missile with a range of more than 0 kilometers and mainly targeting strategic targets, rather than a long-range ground-to-ground missile hanging on fighter jets.

In other words, the cruise missile carrier platform must at least be a bomber, and even heavy fighter jets will find it difficult to carry these heavy ammunition weighing thousands of kilograms.

The Republic's Navy Air Force has long since no bombers, and the number of long-range patrol aircraft is very limited, so it is unlikely to throw thousands of cruise missiles at one time. In other words, the carrier platforms of these cruise missiles can only be warships, and they must be multiple warships. Yi Xunshushushushu's thin notch and humming the different body clams

Relatively speaking, the throwing platform of long-range shells is more worthy of attention.

Although the range of the naval gun has been increased to more than 1,000 meters after the spiral electromagnetic gun is equipped with a large number of troops, and a slight improvement can exceed 4,000 meters, the overall mass of the spiral electromagnetic gun is very large and can only be equipped on large warships. Large warships are all equipped in aircraft carrier battle groups and amphibious assault fleets. As mentioned earlier, the aircraft carrier battle groups of the Western Pacific Fleet of the Republic Navy are guarding against the US fleet thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, while in the Western Pacific, the Republic Navy does not have amphibious assault fleets. That is to say, when the war broke out, the large warships of the Republic Navy were thousands of kilometers away from Russia. Although the maximum speed of the large warships has been increased to the Blade Festival, more than twice that of 0 years ago, it is impossible to reach the Sea of ​​Japan within an hour and shell the Russian port.

Because the Russian army found several heavy shells that did not explode in Vlavastok, the US intelligence agencies sent military advisers to participate in the identification of these shells. These intelligence personnel were very lucky to know the reporters who were Tsang and Zhao. So before the Navy of the Remaining Republic announced the war report, Zhao mentioned in the report that the Republic used large-caliber electromagnetic cannons and naval ship-based electromagnetic cannons to bombard Russian ports.

Judging from this report, even the American news media do not believe that the warships of the Republic's Navy were shelling Russia.

At that time, some people speculated that in order to attack ports in the Far East of Russia, the Republic was likely to have deployed heavy electromagnetic guns in military bases in Northeast China, North Korea or Japan. The problem is that the Republic's army also has long-range artillery, and the range of the army artillery is not shorter than that of naval naval guns, but it is a little smaller in caliber. Of course, this is definitely not the reason why the Republic authorities spent their efforts to deploy heavy naval guns on land. You should know that the artillery shells of the army's electromagnetic guns are also more than kilograms. Not to mention dealing with ordinary targets, except for those strategic facilities buried deep underground, other military targets are no problem. The purpose of shelling ports in the Far East of Russia is to defeat the Russian Pacific Fleet and the sluggish ports. The army's long-range artillery is fully competent, so there is naturally no reason to move the naval guns to the shore in one fell swoop.

The question is, is it a more reasonable explanation?

There must be, and it is very obvious, that is, the Republic's Navy has special shelling warships.

In fact, the American news media are not expecting such a simple thing, but are unwilling to admit it.

When the US news media speculated that the Republic had moved its naval guns to the shore, Al Jazeera made a relatively objective report, that is, the Republic's navy had secretly built artillery warships, or transformed civilian ships into artillery warships. Before the war broke out, these artillery warships were secretly sent to North Korea and Japan ports.

This analysis is reasonable and is similar to the actual situation.

According to the war report released by the Republic's Navy, the one that shelled the Russian naval base was the "fireships docked in Japan's New Caries and Hakodate, as the name suggests, fireships must be warships that pay special attention to firepower. In fact, fireships are military auxiliary ships transformed on the basis of civilian ships. They are not warships in the strict sense.

According to the Republic's Naval Battleship Yearbook, the "Firepower Ship. Project was first introduced by Jiangnan Shipyard in Lirennian according to the "Ten Thousand Years of Shipbuilding Plan" proposed by the Navy in Lirennian. It proposed that a single investment of tens of millions of yuan was completed to complete theoretical research and basic design, and finally paid attention to it in the Navy. It was officially approved in the 2 Qunian year, and the fund was officially obtained in the Dingqian year, and the design was completed and construction officially started in the fierce fiscal year. The first batch of six firecraft were completed before the end of the year.

The Navy was inspected at the beginning of previous years. Because firepower ships do not perform front-line combat tasks, in order to reduce construction costs, shorten the design cycle, and reduce maintenance costs, the construction standards of civil ships were widely used in the design, and the raw materials for building civil ships were used, and they were designed and built strictly in accordance with the standards of warships. It can be seen that firepower ships are not entirely civil ships. Strictly speaking, firepower ships are military ships built according to the standards of civil ships.

Speaking of this, some people must have thought of the "Arsenal Ship" compiled by the US Navy at the end of the century. It is believed that the Republic's Navy is cooking other people's cold rice. There is no innovation at all.

If that's the case, the fire ship is definitely a tragedy.

The fact is that this kind of warship that had only existed in theory before showed its unparalleled strike capability when it first appeared, which is enough to prove that it was a successful ship. If, as some American news media have speculated, the basic design concept of the firepower ship originated more than half a century ago and had long been shelved by the US Navy, it can only prove that it was either the Republic designed and built this unique battleship with a new concept, or the US Navy short-sighted and gave up this promising battleship half a century ago.

Obviously, even the American news media are more willing to accept the former possibility.
