The battleships in southern Africa are not as good as the United States, but the Americans are not good at aircraft carriers.
Despite the Americans' ambitious calls for revenge, the "Ranger" is inherently deficient, and the "York City" is still on paper, and even if the "York City" class is completed, it will probably only be equivalent to the "Elizabeth" class.
, a far cry from the "Island" class aircraft carriers being built in southern Africa.
"Yorktown" has a full load displacement of 25,000 tons, a maximum speed of 32 knots, and can carry no more than 80 combat aircraft at most.
The "Island" class aircraft carrier has a full load displacement of 30,000 tons, a maximum speed of 34 knots, and may carry more than 130 combat aircraft.
And it should be noted that there is still a big gap in performance between U.S. Navy combat aircraft and southern African combat aircraft.
So in terms of the combat performance of aircraft carriers, one "Island" class aircraft carrier is roughly equivalent to two "Yorktowns".
"Yorktown" plans to build three ships, and after the sinking of the "Lexington", the number may increase.
The "Island" class plans to build four ships, which will be assigned to the Atlantic Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet respectively. The number may also increase in the future.
Putting the data of the two aircraft carriers together, we can tell whether the Americans are panicking or not.
"The U.S. government has always tolerated targeted suppression of Southern Africa. You have imposed sanctions, you have restricted the supply of raw materials to U.S. companies, and you have united with Europe to squeeze out the living space of the United States. We have tolerated it." Hoover was full of grief and indignation.
Africa has gone too far!
"Now you are finally reaching into America's back garden. It was you who first tore up the agreement between Lord Nyasaland and President Roosevelt, and now you are blaming us for tearing up the Washington Naval Treaty and the 'islands' being built in Southern Africa."
Class aircraft carrier, didn't it break the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty?" Hoover complained, in the words of southern Africans, this meant that only state officials were allowed to set fires and the people were not allowed to light lamps.
“When the Washington Naval Treaty was signed, Southern Africa was still part of the Commonwealth. We in Southern Africa did not sign the Washington Naval Treaty as an independent country at all, so how can we tear up the Washington Naval Treaty?
"Shaun Ferguson is also aggrieved. This is a problem left over from history.
Hoover really didn't remember this.
Being interrupted by Sean Ferguson, Hoover's newly accumulated emotions suddenly stagnated. He felt as if a mouthful of old blood had reached his throat, and he swallowed it hard.
"What about the London Naval Treaty?" Hoover was successfully led off-rhythm by Sean Ferguson.
"When the London Naval Treaty was signed, Southern Africa was also a member of the Commonwealth, and the London Naval Treaty mainly restricted cruisers and destroyers." Sean Ferguson avoided the important and took the easy. The London Naval Treaty actually restricted aircraft carriers.
There are also additions.
Mainly Southern Africa. When the Washington Naval Treaty was signed, Southern Africa did not receive a quota. It only deducted 100,000 tons from the British quota and built four "Elizabeth" class aircraft carriers.
The "London Naval Treaty" provided Southern Africa with a 50,000-ton aircraft carrier quota, and Southern Africa built two more "Elizabeth" class aircraft carriers. This is the origin of the current six aircraft carriers in Southern Africa.
"So, when all countries in the world are restricted by the Washington Naval Treaty and the London Naval Treaty, your southern Africa can be exempted from any restrictions?" Hoover was so angry that he didn't know about these two treaties.
When it was signed, how stupid the heads of government of the participating countries must have been to agree to such a bizarre clause.
Hoover probably forgot that when the London Naval Treaty was signed, Hoover himself was the president of the United States.
Shane Ferguson had no choice but to show his hands, and even the brainless Shane Ferguson didn’t know, but this is the fact.
"Even so, what's going on with the new aircraft carrier on the slipway in southern Africa?" Sir Drummond is still cunning.
The six "Victoria" class aircraft carriers in Southern Africa have filled up the aircraft carrier quota received by Southern Africa. The United Kingdom has no quota space for new aircraft carriers. Sir Drummond actually feels very uncomfortable.
But there is nothing you can do if you feel uncomfortable. Not to mention that the UK is currently incapable of building new large warships. Even if it does, the Royal Navy will insist on building battleships instead of aircraft carriers.
The stubborn British are terrible. Even if the aircraft carrier performs well, the stubborn British will not compromise.
"When the two new 'Island' class aircraft carriers are put into service, Southern Africa will decommission two 'Elizabeths' to ensure that they will not break the restrictions of the London Naval Treaty." This is the first time that a Southern African official has publicly acknowledged the "Island"
-class aircraft carriers exist.
Drummond was much more difficult to fool than Hoover, a trafficker. During the World War, Drummond served as the private secretary to Edward Grey, the British Foreign Secretary, and Arthur Balfour, Lord of the Privy Seal.
"The oldest Elizabeth in southern Africa has only been in service for about ten years, so it has been retired like this?" Sir Drummond simply doubted his ears. For a large warship like an aircraft carrier, its service life is
Calculated in units of ten years, after all, it is just an aircraft platform, performance does not matter, the key is the carrier-based aircraft.
Battleships are different. During the arms race, battleships often lagged behind in performance even before they were launched into the water, and their cost performance was outrageous. This is one of the reasons why aircraft carriers are receiving more and more attention.
After all, even the British Empire was unable to initiate another arms race.
"Of course, Southern Africa is a responsible country. In order to maintain world peace, Southern Africa will do whatever it takes." Sean Ferguson sounded high.
Sir Drummond sneered.
Who are you talking about? If Southern Africa were so honest and reliable, the "Lexington" would not have sunk.
Of course, Drummond has no choice. Retirement depends on the situation. Dismantling and selling decommissioned warships is decommissioning, and directly sealing them in the port and sending people for regular maintenance is also decommissioning. It is called to prevent the loss of state-owned assets, and they can be used when needed.
Enable anytime.
Although the London Naval Treaty has more detailed provisions for the decommissioning of warships, Sir Drummond believes that southern Africa must have ways to circumvent the restrictions of the London Naval Treaty.
The completely shameless southern Africans are also very scary.
Americans are actually shameless.
When Hoover attacked Sean Ferguson in the League of Nations, Stimson, who had not yet left southern Africa, went directly to the Palace of Justice to see Roark.
Asking for a meeting, not making an appointment.
Stimson was naturally rejected. Rock was still in Los Angeles cheering for the Southern African athletes participating in the Goodwill Games and had no time to meet with Stimson.
Just like the Pretoria Commonwealth Games and the Olympic Games, at the Goodwill Games, southern African athletes made great strides and won gold medals on the field faster than De Beers Unified Mining Company could produce gold medals.
All the medals awarded at the Friendship Games were manufactured by De Beers Unified Mining Company. The gold medals were gold inlaid with diamonds. The gold was so dazzling that it left a deep impression on everyone.
This is what Stoudemire wants. De Beers Unified Mining Company, among other things, has more gold and diamonds.
The De Beers Unified Mining Company also decided to award all Rhodesians who won gold medals a gold brick weighing ten kilograms as a reward. There are also silver and bronze medals. The difference is that the weight of the gold brick is smaller.
Then, while De Beers Unified Mining greatly enhanced its presence, it also established a new image of local gold in front of all audiences around the world.
Nyasaland Company is not willing to be left alone. Gold and diamonds are nothing. Nyasaland Company has decided to give a house in Los Angeles to all Nyasaland athletes who have won medals as a reward. The winner's house is located on the shore of Lake Nyasa.
villa, the runner-up will be a large flat-floor apartment in a high-end community, and the third runner-up will also receive an apartment in the city center as a reward.
Everyone knows how much a house on the shores of Lake Nyasa is worth. Even if you have money, you may not be able to sell it. Ordinary people simply cannot get their hands on it.
In addition to De Beers Unified Mining Company and Nyasaland Company, others such as Nyasaland Military Industry and Nyasaland Airlines also had their own awards. For a while, the athletes fought bravely and achieved great results. After the Friendship Games began,
It has broken more than twenty world records in a row. Under such circumstances, no one paid attention to the news that the "Lexington" was sunk.
Vargas must have known about it. As soon as the Lexington was sunk, Vargas took the initiative to find Roark and express his concerns.
The "Lexington" was sunk, and the Americans would definitely not give up.
Southern Africa did not participate in the war, and the Americans did not dare to cause trouble in Southern Africa. Therefore, the new Brazilian government will ultimately bear the brunt of the Americans' anger.
"Haha, don't worry. The third batch of submarines will be delivered in the near future. At least the safety of Rio can be guaranteed." Rock is not worried. The submarines and the Luji aviation force are enough to ensure the safety of Rio.
The "Lexington" was sunk, and Rock couldn't believe that the Americans dared to send a battleship to Rio to act wildly.
Without air force protection, the battleships were sent to Rio just to deliver food, one ship at a time.
If there was still a possibility of negotiation between the new Brazilian government and the Americans.
Now this possibility is very slim. Unless one side completely admits defeat, the war will not end.
The second batch of submarines delivered in southern Africa were the ones that sank the "Resolution".
"Lord, if possible, I hope to form a modern force with the help of the Southern African National Defense Force." Vargas finally relented.
Roque was very satisfied. This is right. Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Regardless of whether Vargas understood this truth or not, Roque must have understood it deeply enough.
