However, although Yang Feng's support is of sufficient weight, it will take time after all, and the number of heavy artillery and tanks he sent is a bit small. In a battle involving more than 5 million people from both sides, the top
At most it is just a small stone thrown into the rolling Yangtze River, not to mention that the Germans are becoming more and more cruel.<
In the German factories, they worked hard to assemble one solidified Qi decoy bomb after another, then put them on trains and sent them to the front line in a steady stream, and then stuffed them into airships and threw them over the heads of the Russian troops. In the face of the demonic fire of hell, there was nothing
A Russian army was able to hold their position, and the fear of such weapons was so ingrained in the hearts of the gray animals that they would subconsciously run away almost as soon as they saw the airship appear overhead.
In response to this situation, Nicholas and his generals were helpless and could only watch the German army advance. Soon, even the Ogne River defense line that had been held for more than a year was burnt by solidified qi decoys.
The Eighth Army marched into Lithuania in a mighty manner. Fortunately, at this time, the Russian winter stopped the Germans, and Nikolai breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, by now, the German army has basically reached the limit of their attack, and the exhausted German soldiers are also in urgent need of rest and recuperation. Therefore, the battlefield on the Eastern Front has fallen silent again, and both sides have basically followed the historical path of 1918.
The battle lines began to enter a stalemate again.
The rest of 1905 passed in peace, with both the Allies and the Central Powers licking their wounds, gathering strength, and waiting for a new round of war.
Yang Feng is also accumulating strength, waiting for a yellow disaster that will sweep the entire world.
In winter, the surrounding Liaodong Bay is completely covered by sea ice, and all ports are suspended. Even the fishermen have finished their busy work for most of the year and began to go to winter with their harvest. At this time, the Chinese Navy announced that it would launch a new operation in Liaodong Bay.
A large-scale exercise was conducted, and no ships were allowed to enter north of the line from Lushunkou to Haihekou. Almost all the warships of the Beiyang Fleet were dispatched to form a tight blockade on this line, and patrols were deployed even on the coast to ensure that no ships were allowed to enter.
Anyone goes into the sea.
Of course, it is actually impossible for anyone to go into the sea. The sea ice that is dozens of kilometers wide is impassable for both ships and people. However, this can also show the scale of this exercise.
On the open sea in the unfrozen area in the middle of Liaodong Bay, two giant warships with unique shapes are riding the wind and waves. The golden dragon logo on the bow of the ship shines brightly in the sun.
On the Chinese Navy aircraft carrier Dingyuan, Emperor Yang is leading a group of naval generals. They are clustered around an Eagle fighter jet. Today is the day for his carrier-based aircraft to conduct takeoff and landing tests. The two ships are named after the recently retired Dingyuan and
The aircraft carrier named Zhenyuan can be considered completely completed. Although there is still some finishing work in the future, it does not prevent the carrier-based aircraft from conducting tests.
"Don't have any psychological pressure, just like when you were training on land." His Majesty the Emperor personally encouraged the pilot, but it seemed that his encouragement made the pilot more nervous. In recent years, as China's strength has soared, His Majesty the Emperor has been in the minds of the people.
The image in him is becoming more and more majestic, especially in the minds of the younger generation. He is the Holy Lord and Mingjun, and the image of the Great Emperor is at its peak. Now that he is so heavy in his heart, even pilots who are good at psychological quality can't help but feel frightened.
Fortunately, such a take-off test did not cause any problems at all. Driven by the powerful power of 160,000 horsepower, the speed of the Dingyuan sailing into the wind gradually soared to 33 knots. Compared with this aircraft carrier, it was originally small in size.
It is too easy for the small Eagle fighter jet to take off on the flight deck that is more than 260 meters long. It does not even need to accelerate too fast. Basically, it only needs to run a few dozen meters after the propeller is started.
Under the watchful eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and a group of generals, a ground crew member suddenly turned the propeller. Then, driven by a 700-horsepower gasoline engine, the propeller began to rotate at high speed. The Eagle fighter slowly moved forward, barely out of reach.
Fifty meters away, the pilot suddenly pulled the control column, and the small plane easily left the deck and soared into the sky.
At the same time as the carrier-based aircraft on the Dingyuan took off, another carrier-based aircraft on the Zhenyuan also took off. The two aircraft flew around their mothership amid the attention below, and kept doing
Various maneuvers were used to express his feelings. Looking at their figures in the sky, Emperor Yang was also very emotional. The takeoff of these two planes meant that an era of maritime hegemony belonging to the Chinese had officially begun.
The curtain opened.
You must know that in such an era, even in the time and space of the Republic of China, it was just a dream, but now, the dream has finally become a reality.
The flight performance of the two Eagle fighter jets did not last long. After only ten minutes, they began to land separately. At this time, everyone including Yang Feng became nervous, staring at the falling aircraft with wide eyes. When they landed,
When the tail hook of the carrier-based aircraft on the Dingyuan was hung with a blocking rope, even Yang Feng couldn't help but applaud. At the same time, another Eagle fighter also landed on the Zhenyuan and was blocked immediately.
So hold on.
However, today's test mission was not over. After the take-off and landing tests were completed, the two Eagle fighter jets each mounted a heavy-duty aerial bomb, and then conducted a sea bombing test. The take-off process was still very smooth, although each added two more
It weighs more than 100 kilograms, but on this heavy aircraft carrier designed for the large carrier-based aircraft in the late World War II, taking off of a small aircraft like the Eagle is as easy as on land. Even if the aircraft carrier is parked on the sea, they can directly
Flying, let alone sailing at high speed.
After the two carrier-based aircraft carrying heavy aerial bombs took off, they immediately pounced on an old freighter not far away as a target ship. Although it was not a dedicated dive bomber, the Eagle, designed as a fighter bomber, was
The ground attack is not bad, and the two pilots are also veterans of bombing. It was just a target ship parked on the sea, and I saw two planes volleying down from a thousand meters altitude at a wide angle.
It wasn't until it was almost hitting the target ship that it suddenly dropped the bomb and then pulled it up instantly.
The two bombs roared and hit the target ship in an instant. With the huge explosion sound almost simultaneously, the target ship with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons was directly torn to pieces.
"Navy guns are really outdated!" Liu Buchan, Chief of the Naval General Staff, said with emotion when he saw the scene in front of him.
"It can't be said that the aircraft carrier itself has no combat effectiveness. It relies entirely on carrier-based aircraft. It must be protected by battleships. Therefore, large battleships are still essential, but there is no need to use them for decisive battles on the sea battle line.
Well, the main task of large warships in the future is to escort, provide security protection for aircraft carriers, and deal with enemies from the sea, the sky, and even underwater. Of course, this refers to the large-scale formation of our aircraft carrier fleet. Under the current circumstances, large warships
Surface battles are still inevitable, and for at least ten years, this will still be the main task of large warships," Yang Feng said.
The construction of his aircraft carrier fleet cannot be completed in a short time. Even if the four docks of Dalian Shipyard are built at the same time, and the current workers have sufficient construction experience, it will take at least three years to build four more ships. In fact, Yang Feng
There is no guarantee that he will be able to use the second batch of aircraft carriers before the end of the war. In the short term, he must rely on his own battle fleet.
However, in this way, the size of the Chinese Navy is still a bit uneasy. Even with the addition of the sixteen newly built Hongwu-class battle cruisers, it still cannot have an absolute advantage in the face of the increasingly large fleets of European countries. Although it is still
There are two super battleships, but after all, the number is limited. A good tiger cannot stand up to a pack of wolves. And so far, Britain, Germany and Russia have not yet broken out a real large-scale naval battle. This is a bit regretful. Why?
How can they be allowed to fight at sea? This problem gave Emperor Yang a headache.
Judging from the current situation, these three companies are very cunning. Although the fighting on land is bloody, they are standing still at sea. They all understand that no matter how many casualties the army has, it can be easily supplemented, but it is difficult to supplement the army if a battleship sinks.
As long as they have a fleet in hand, their foundation for world dominance will not be damaged. Especially people like the British cannot help but be wary of China. Once the British Royal Navy and the German Navy are exhausted, or suffer heavy losses, they will be in trouble in the future.
It was difficult to curb Yang Feng's ambitions for their Asian colonies.
Emperor Yang hid on the side and watched the fight between tigers. He was just waiting for the situation to become clear, and then obtaining the maximum benefits at the minimum cost. For China, the victory of the Allied Powers Group would bring far more benefits than the victory of the Allied Powers Group.
The latter is just to make some war wealth, and eventually take over a few small German colonies in the Americas and Asia, and maybe even share it with the Russians, but the former he can get much more
Well, Britain's huge colonies in Asia, Russia's vast Far East and even Central Asia are all his coveted targets.
With such a Tyrannosaurus rex watching eagerly from the side, it is difficult for the British to let go of their hands and feet at sea. They must maximize the strength of the Royal Navy. The vast Asian colonies must be protected by the navy. They really have to fight the Germans on the sea.
Fleet, even if Britain wins the war in the end, it may be difficult to effectively deal with Yang Feng. In addition, there are the Russians. Even with the current continuous defeats on land, Nicholas is unwilling to use those precious battleships in his hands.
Attacking the German coast also made the British wary. After all, if anyone is the richest person now, it is only the British. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
