During World War II, the reason why Yingjiang became more and more successful in naval battles while the Japanese fought more and more difficultly, and finally reached the point where they were unable to fight back. In addition to Yingjiang's strong industrial capabilities, another reason was that the two had lost their way in the naval battle mode.
Different paths.
Although the Japanese also have aircraft carriers, they do not believe that future naval battles will be dominated by aircraft carriers, and they do not realize that most future naval battles will be non-contact battles.
Therefore, while the Japanese were producing aircraft carriers, they were still producing battleships and heavy cruisers... The battleship "Musashi" entered service in 1943. The cost of one such battleship was equivalent to three aircraft carriers. Until the end of the war, the Japanese still had two more
Heavy cruiser under construction.
On the other hand, Yingjiang concentrates its resources on the development of new carrier-based aircraft, and then converts various ships that can be modified into light aircraft carriers (mainly used to transport carrier-based aircraft rather than combat), and also conducts modular mass production of aircraft carriers.
24 Essex-class aircraft carriers were built in just a few years...
The Japanese are already short of resources, have weak industrial capabilities, and have wrong development directions. It would be strange to be able to defeat Yingjiang.
Wang Xuexin's words awakened the admiral and allowed them to enter the correct direction of development earlier. This is not only in the interest of Yingjiang, but also in the interests of China... The smoother Yingjiang goes on the Pacific battlefield, the greater the pressure on China.
Small, it's all in one.
Therefore, this transaction for Wang Xuexin is a good deal no matter how you calculate it.
What's more, I originally thought there were only 10,000 gyroscopes, but now I can get 20,000... This can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
But Wang Xuexin was still not at ease.
This is not to say that Wang Xuexin is worried about Yingjiang not giving Gyroscope.
During this period, Eagle Sauce was still able to keep its word internationally... This was the result of the international environment: Eagle Sauce at this time was not number one in the world, but the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets was number one.
If Yingjiang wants to be number one in the world, of course it must establish its own prestige.
To establish prestige, you must first keep your word and do things that are conducive to international peace, such as the Lend-Lease Act, and actively opening up a second battlefield to attack Hans. All of these have brought huge returns to Eagle Sauce... International
His influence skyrocketed like a rocket.
On the contrary, the Empire under the leadership of Churchill was short-sighted and greedy for immediate benefits. During the war, it promised the colonies that as long as they helped the sun never set in the war, they would be given "freedom" after the war. However, after the war,
I immediately regretted it.
Not only that, after the war, when Ah San was extremely difficult, it still used heavy taxes to suck blood, leading to the Ah San famine, which starved tens of millions of people to death.
This series of seemingly clever but actually extremely stupid operations directly caused the international influence of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets to plummet.
The result is... Eagle Sauce successfully ascended to the world's number one throne.
At this time, Yingjiang is in the stage of establishing its reputation, and of course it will not break its promise easily. Especially 12,000 gyroscopes are nothing to Yingjiang. What is more important is the industrial level of China at this time and Yingjiang.
It's not of the same level at all. Yingjiang doesn't need to guard against Huaxia.
Therefore, Wang Xuexin believed that Yingjiang would deliver the 20,000 gyroscopes and that they would be in place soon for the war.
Sure enough, two days later Sun Erwei told Wang Xuexin: "Wang, the first batch of 10,000 gyroscopes has been shipped from China and is expected to arrive at the base in fifteen days. Don't worry, I will follow you throughout the process!"
Fifteen days, ten thousand gyroscopes, this can be said to have solved the urgent need of "high-precision rockets".
Wang Xuexin immediately ordered Professor Su to expand the production scale of "high-precision rockets".
Although the gyroscope is not yet in place, other parts can be produced first, and when the gyroscope arrives...just install them one by one.
Professor Su was not slow in his actions, and immediately took the design drawings to three stores... Production of this scale also needs to be kept secret, and of course it requires the production of an arsenal.
The Sixth Branch Factory located in Sanjia Store is the most suitable for producing this kind of equipment.
Wang Xuexin did not go to the Sixth Branch Factory, but Professor Su reported the situation to Wang Xuexin every day:
"Everything goes well, the Sixth Branch Factory needs two days to make the required machinery!"
"There is a serious shortage of manpower, but there are many refugees in the three stores. We urgently select talents with carpentry, metallurgy, machinery and other skills from the refugees!"
"With the strong cooperation of Factory Director Su, trial production has begun, and it is expected to produce thirty 'high-precision rockets' per day, and the production may be expanded in the future!"
…
In just seven days, everything was on track and thirty pieces were produced every day. I am afraid that only Su Xin has the ability to do this.
Thirty pieces are produced every day, which is almost enough.
If one hundred pieces are needed to fight a battle, then the output every three days can knock out a Japanese heavy artillery position...The Japanese do not have that many heavy artillery.
As for Skinny, Wang Xuexin just went there occasionally to deal with it.
Skinner can understand this.
In Skinner's view, the Eighth Route Army at this time was actively preparing for the defense of Yuncheng, and Wang Xuexin was responsible for this line of defense. Of course, he did not have so much time to devote to research and development.
What's more, this kind of "improving rocket accuracy" project is long-term and will not yield results in a short time, so Skinny is not in a hurry.
On Wang Xuexin's side, his main anxiety is still about the gyroscope.
In his opinion, 20,000 "high-precision rockets" are far from enough.
The reason why Professor Su and others thought that 10,000 rockets were enough was because they thought that these "rockets" were only used to deal with Japanese artillery.
But Wang Xuexin knew that this was not the case.
The firing range of fifty kilometers can deal with enemy artillery. What if the firing range is extended to one hundred kilometers or even two hundred kilometers?
Doesn't that mean you can attack the enemy's train stations, barracks, warehouses and even airports at will?
This is the normal operation of missiles, and it is also Wang Xuexin's initial positioning of "high-precision rockets"... The Eighth Route Army may not be able to match the Japanese in aircraft and industry, but if it is better than the Japanese in missiles, it can form a "I can fight"
"I can reach the enemy but the enemy cannot hit me", then the enemy will be passive.
To create this situation, a large number of "high-precision rockets" are needed, which requires a large number of gyroscopes.
But what can Wang Xuexin do?
Like Yingjiang requires the production of gyroscope machinery?
I'm afraid this is impossible.
Yingjiang can help China, but it will not stop helping China... If the machinery for producing gyroscopes is given to the Eighth Route Army so that the Eighth Route Army can produce it on its own, this road is actually broken.
No matter how stupid Yingjiang is, she will never do such a thing.
After thinking about it, Wang Xuexin thought that Mao Xiong could be used in this regard.
