If the Tang Empire's fleet were to attack the Mirage Kingdom, the most direct and nearest place would be the South Island. The cost of bypassing the South Island would be too high, and it would be an almost impossible task to bypass the South Island and attack the new island.
Therefore, as long as the South Island and the main island are defended, the new island sandwiched in the middle can be said to be absolutely safe: Needless to mention the northernmost North Island, if the Tang Empire bypasses the three islands and attacks the North Island, that is
My brain is flooded.
After the army introduced the defense deployment, the navy generals also joined the discussion. This meeting was originally held because the risk of war between the Tang Empire and the Mirage Kingdom was increasing.
"No one can cross the navy of the Mirage Kingdom and attack the mainland of the Mirage Kingdom! Over the years, we have secretly built 5 super battleships at all costs, and together with the battleships we originally owned, the absolute combat power of a total of 12 battleships is unparalleled in the world!
"The person speaking from the Navy side was Navy Commander-in-Chief Mirage Haiping.
This old general's ability is still very good. Under his auspices, the Mirage Navy secretly built larger battleships: the new battleships even used 460 mm caliber main guns, with a tonnage of more than 40,000!
Although it is not as majestic as the Yamato-class battleships that Tang Mo is familiar with, Mirage Kingdom's new battleships can still be said to be one of the most powerful battleships in the world.
In order to adapt to the needs of naval warfare in the new era, Mirage's new battleship also added a large number of anti-aircraft guns, which can be called Mirage's version of the Dongwan-class battleship.
Mirage Haiping confidently assured the ministers of Mirage: "We estimate that the Tang Empire Navy should have about 10 battleships, and it is not as good as us in terms of core combat strength."
If the navy of the Mirage Kingdom were to attack the Tang Empire, he might not dare to do so. But now that he is allowed to defend under the cover of his own air force, he is still very confident.
Speaking of the main fleet of the Mirage Navy that he personally built, his whole person seemed to be radiating light. The old man was very proud. In his opinion, the main fleet of the Mirage Navy was like his biological son: "The battleship owner of our navy
Cannons generally use 410 and 460 mm, far exceeding the world's mainstream 380 mm, so we have a certain degree of advantage in artillery battles."
The Mirage Navy has learned from the lessons of previous failures, and has also put a lot of effort into protection and speed. Because the country was originally built on the sea, most of the efforts of the entire Mirage Kingdom were devoted to the construction of the Mirage Navy.
The speed of the brand new warship can basically be guaranteed to be on par with the world's mainstream level, and protection has received unprecedented attention.
That's why Mirage Haiping dared to show off to everyone so confidently: "In addition, the armor protection level of our naval battleships is also higher, and although the speed is not very fast, it is sufficient... If a battleship decisive battle breaks out, we will definitely be able to win!"
"Of course, according to war games, the navy of the Tang Dynasty also has its advantages: their submarines have huge advantages, and we have no way to offset them." After talking about his advantages, he objectively mentioned some of the Tang Dynasty's navy.
Advantages: "Although our latest destroyers have some anti-submarine weapons, their specific effectiveness still needs to be verified."
Another point he hasn't mentioned is that the Tang Empire's radar technology has now spread, and the Mirage Kingdom has also obtained related technology and built some radar stations locally.
But the Mirage Kingdom has not yet had time to move advanced radar technology to its warships, so the Mirage Kingdom's warships are still blind and can only detect the enemy with their eyes...
Mirage Haiping does not think that such a gap cannot be made up. In his view, radar is just a means of finding targets. He can also find opponents by relying on shore-based aircraft. This gap is not obvious.
He didn't know that in addition to searching for targets, radar could also provide shooting parameters for artillery, torpedoes, and missiles. This can't be blamed on Mirage Haiping for not having seen the world, because except for the Tang Imperial Navy, people who knew about this matter did
Not much.
Therefore, he is still extremely confident: "However, after all, our advantage is local operations. We can use dragon-slaying bombers to search for the enemy's fleet, and we can also conduct anti-submarine warfare, which can force the opponent's submarines to stay away from our waters."
"Because it is a local operation, the Air Force's aircraft can provide cover. We have an absolute advantage in this regard. The Tang Imperial Navy, which has lost its aircraft, will be as vulnerable as the Alliance Navy in the last war." After he finished speaking, he raised his hand again.
Example of the Alliance fleet in the last anti-Tang war.
That is simply a shame for navies around the world: dozens of main battleships gathered at sea, but in the end they did not dare to attack the Tang Empire's thousands of miles of sea territory because they were afraid of submarines and aircraft.
In the end, the battle ended with a loss of troops, and the powerful fleet that was built up with countless money and supplies actually played no role in the war. It was really annoying.
"We just need to wait, wait for the opponent's fleet to start landing, come on stage when the enemy fleet is in a dilemma, and destroy the enemy's warships that have already deployed and cannot be evacuated." But in Mirage's view, such shame no longer exists.
It will happen. He smiled and told his tactics: "According to the plan, their fleet will be sunk by our cannon in just one afternoon. There is no doubt about it!"
In his opinion, if there are aircraft that can detect the specific situation of the enemy fleet, his fleet will be able to appear in the most suitable position at the most suitable time.
"What we did when we secretly purchased the Zero Fighter and the Dragon-Slaying Bomber was a stroke of genius! The Tang Empire must have never imagined that we could actually obtain such advanced fighter jets!" The newly formed Air Force officer also spoke with confidence.
They have spent the most money recently, but the power of the Zero fighter jets is obvious to all. The Air Force of Mirage can be said to be the biggest thing Mirage has accomplished in the past two years.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Backed by advanced equipment, the Air Force officers spoke much more forcefully: "The range of the Zero fighter is far enough and its performance is advanced enough! It is more advanced than fighter jets from other countries in the world.
! This is our greatest support! And under the cover of this kind of fighter, our warships can attack the enemy's landing fleet unscrupulously! As long as we wipe out 100,000 people from the Tang Empire on the beach, they will realize
, attacking the mirage country is not a good choice."
Frankly speaking, the technology related to the Zero fighter sold by the Tang Empire was still very advanced, which gave the Mirage military strong self-confidence.
First of all, the practical ceiling of this aircraft exceeds 9,000 meters, which is far higher than any aircraft previously equipped by Mirage. At the same time, the advanced Zero fighter also has a fully enclosed cockpit, making the pilot's working environment more comfortable.
The Zero fighter equipped with two machine guns and two cannons can also be called "powerful" in terms of firepower. Although the actual effect is average, its firepower can be said to be epoch-making compared to the fighter jets used by Mirage before.
If you just look at the performance parameters, it can even compete with the world-famous Butcher fighter of the Tang Empire.
Compared with the pitiful range of a few hundred kilometers of the Butcher fighter, the Zero fighter has a range of more than 1,500 kilometers after carrying an auxiliary fuel tank! Such a large range ensures that the Zero fighter can cover farther places, which is also a mirage.
The Air Force is most satisfied with the Zero fighter.
In addition, the Zero fighter also has unimaginable horizontal maneuverability, flexibility and lightness, allowing it to toy with its opponents in a nearly invincible manner at medium and low altitudes.
It is precisely because the Zero fighter has so many advantages that the Mirage Air Force has such strong self-confidence: they believe that the fighter they own is powerful and can achieve air supremacy on the battlefield.
Another reason for the confidence of the Mirage Navy and Air Force is that they do not think that the Tang Empire has any way to fly fighter jets to the Mirage Kingdom to participate in the war.
Even a Zero fighter with such a long range cannot fly directly across the ocean to the Tang Empire, and it is even less possible for the Butcher equipped by the Tang Empire to fly to the Mirage Kingdom.
Even if the Tang Empire tried to increase the range of its fighter jets, there would definitely not be many planes that could go to Mirage to participate in the war. Relying on its huge numerical advantage, Mirage's air force should be able to easily defeat the Datang Empire's aircraft coming from afar.
…
"This is the performance information about the Zero fighter. Please read the above parameters clearly. If you are bitten, the best way to escape is to dive." In the combat command room of the Tang Empire's naval aircraft carrier, the officer in charge of commanding the aviation force held his hand
The information was handed to his subordinates.
The naval aviation pilots who had long been accustomed to traveling at sea took the information and lowered their heads to read it.
They soon discovered that what was written in the information had already been adapted to them during training. The Air Force of the Tang Empire even dispatched Butcher fighter jets to act as imaginary enemies and help the navy become familiar with the "enemy's" combat mode.
The naval pilots, who had already seen through each other's underwear, the only thing they were thinking about now was: when will they see whether the pilots of Mirage are as cunning as the aces of the Army?
"Their planes are inferior to our pirates in terms of speed and maneuverability. How can they fight us?" A pilot sneered twice and threw the information on the table.
The fighter jets equipped by the naval aviation of the Tang Empire were more powerful pirates, which were much more powerful than the early opponents of the Zero.
Whether it is firepower or speed, whether it is climbing or diving, the Corsair fighter is more powerful than the Zero. And after knowing the weaknesses of the Zero, the pilots of the Tang Empire have countless ways to deal with the Mirage Zero fighter
.
Frankly speaking, Mirage is a bit too optimistic when it comes to air supremacy.
