Volume 9 Undercurrents Chapter 6 Overwhelming guests

According to the thug, Yuekou Rihuan Dayang International Ankura Multinational Union Joint Joint Military Exercise began.

Pigeon warships from the United States, Republic, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei and Singapore, Jinyu fighter jets and helicopters, Liekou credit officers and soldiers, including Wuliyu ground troops, gathered in the waters of Guam.

Before the exercise began, all participating ships were inspected by generals from various countries under the leadership of the USS Ford.

Because this is a joint military exercise with the main purpose of fighting pirates, dealing with maritime terrorist attacks, and responding to marine natural disasters, except for the host United States, the United States, who dispatched the air force to participate in the exercises, other countries have dispatched military forces mainly naval and are considered auxiliary to participate in the exercises.

Before the exercise began, the contest between the Republic and the United States began.

Before the Republic agreed to send troops to participate in the exercise, the Pentagon revealed to the outside world that the participating troops were not large, only an amphibious expeditionary fleet dominated by the Saipan and a kilogram of Marines. After the Republic agreed to send troops to participate in the exercise, the Pentagon immediately revealed new news to the outside world, claiming that it would send the "Ford aircraft carrier battle group and a land battle battalion to participate in the exercise. After the Republic announced the participating troops, the Pentagon adjusted the size of the participating troops again and officially announced that it would send the "Ford aircraft carrier battle group, the "Saipan amphibious expeditionary fleet", a "Aerospace Expeditionary Brigade" and a land battle battalion to participate in the military exercise.

The Pentagon adjusted the size of the participating troops twice, but simply wanted to suppress the Republic during the exercise.

The actual situation is indeed the case. In addition to the Ford aircraft carrier battle group, there are three thugs, "Philadelphia" class comprehensive landing ships, "New Orleans class dock landing ships" and "Submarine destroyers; the two fleets have a total of various types of warships, accounting for 30% of the participating warships. The Republic only dispatches the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier battle group to participate in the exercise, and there are only various types of warship stands, which are only those of the United States participating in the warships.

Half.

In fact, the Pentagon has taken great pains.

Judging from the organization of aircraft carrier combat groups and amphibious expeditionary fleets, they are far beyond the normal level. Generally speaking, the US Navy's aircraft carrier combat group has 6 to 8 surface escort warships, while the amphibious expedition fleet is not equipped with escort warships, and only warships are drawn to perform escort missions during wartime.

The Pentagon’s efforts did not pay off accordingly.

Not to mention the news media of the Republic, and those neutral media that have always tended to support the Republic. Even the news media of the United States and Western countries focused on reporting on the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier battle group, which participated in the joint military exercise led by the United States. They made a comprehensive report on the "Huaxia" class aircraft carrier, the "Qinling class cruiser, and the "Taihu" class destroyer, as if people did not know these warships that made a big splash in the Peninsula War and the Japanese war.

What made the reporter even more crazy is that the Republic not only did not hide it, but was also very generous.

On the day the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier battle group entered the Apula Port, the Republic Navy opened its arms to all reporters. Not only were it allowed to record the photos on the warships, but it also organized a group of English-speaking officers and soldiers to give on-site explanations to the reporters who came to interview. It introduced in detail the performance characteristics and combat capabilities of several large warships. The day before the military exercise began, the Republic Navy also held a unique press conference on the flight deck of the "Huaxia". It prepared rich and delicious Chinese food for the reporters, as well as pictures and texts of the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier battle group participating in the Peninsula War and the Japanese War. While the reporter was still unsatisfied, the Republic Navy also specifically allowed some reporters to enter the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier combat command center and used the reporter's lens to present the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier to the world.

There is no doubt that this is not a military exercise. It is a diplomatic activity!

The generous actions of the Republic's Navy surprised the US military. Because the exercise was about to begin, it was impossible for the US military to introduce American warships according to the rules.

The reporter's comprehensive report also prevented the Pentagon, which was in charge of the exercise.

According to the initial plan, at the ship ceremony before the exercise, except for the host warships sailing in the front, the Republic's warships were lined behind the warships in Australia and Canada. Because the outside world responded too strongly and the attention to the Republic's naval warships was too high, the Pentagon had to adjust the queue order the night before the exercise began, so that the Republic's warships were lined behind the American warships.

The ship ceremony began. The American warship and the Republic warship were displayed very intuitively.

The Ford, which has a full load displacement of thugs, is a circle larger than the Huaxia, which has a full load displacement of less than 10,000 tons, and looks more powerful. However, the Huaxia adopts a dual-ship island design and a fully enclosed electronic mast, which is more avant-garde and fashionable. The appearance is also more concise and beautiful. The difference between the six cruisers is large. However, the Bainbridge-class retractable main gun turret is more streamlined, while the "Qinling"-class polygonal turret is more realistic in combat capabilities. The difference between destroyers is less obvious. They are all designed according to multi-purpose combat indicators. On the contrary, the Republic's all-electric anti-submarine escorts have all the potential. Compared with the United States' anti-submarine destroyers, the all-electric frigate is not only more agile, but also reflects the application prospects of advanced electric technology on naval surface warships.

The reporter who conducted on-site reports discovered a question that was of interest to the whole world.

The warships of the Republic look rusty and never seem to have been fully maintained. When talking about this situation, some commentators mentioned the basic maintenance of naval warships. Naval warships are not like army tanks, which can be fully maintained at any time, and can only be maintained according to the service time and the use of warships. "Painting" warships can only be carried out during docking overhaul. Generally, the interval between overhauls of warships is more than three years. Because the large-scale combat operations of the Japanese war ended in mid-year, many warships participating in the warships have not yet reached the overhaul time. In the eyes of most people, this is the Republic's Navy "deliberately letting the warships appear in front of the world in a realistic way, not the most gorgeous face, in order to let the whole world know that these warships have experienced the test of war!

In this comparison, the US Navy's warships do not have much confidence.

Although the USS Ford and the amphibious assault ship Saipan participated in combat operations many times and performed well during the Iran War and Peninsula War, the US warships had never participated in the real naval battle, nor had they encountered opponents with sufficient strength on the marine battlefield.

The warships of the Republic are completely different. Even if the battle against the Korean Navy in the Peninsula War is nothing, it is a head-on battle against the Japanese Navy in the Japanese War, or the first naval battle between aircraft carriers after World War II!

The warships of the Republic's Navy experienced the most fierce test of war.

The warships of the U.S. Navy were only manifested in asymmetric warfares.

Whoever is better or worse is unspeakable.

On the day the exercise began, Al Jazeera introduced the combat "resummary of the "Huaxia" class aircraft carrier with high enthusiasm." It focused on the combat operations of the Republic's Navy in the Japanese war, and gave a comprehensive introduction to the wonderful performance of the "Qinling" class cruisers and "Taihu.class destroyers in supporting landing operations and strategic strike operations. Of course, the special commentators hired by Al Jazeera will not forget to introduce the practical power of electromagnetic track running.

Although the United States has equipped the Bainbridge class cruiser and the Zumwalter class destroyer with excellent performance, the United States' electromagnetic guns have not been tested in actual combat. Even the US military itself is not sure about the actual performance and practical power, let alone reporters.

The best way to prove the combat effectiveness of weapons and equipment is war!

From this perspective, the Republic's Navy uses the Songhui of the joint military exercise to "sell" the Republic's warships to the world.

The facts best illustrate the problem.

Shortly after the joint military exercise, the Pakistani Navy asked the Republic to help design and build frigates equipped with at least thugs and old electromagnetic tracks. Because there was insufficient funds, the Pakistani Navy hoped to control the displacement of frigates below the Chengshang to reduce construction costs. In fact, many countries that are interested in old electromagnetic guns have the same problem, that is, there is not enough funds to purchase more frigates.

In response to this situation, Jiangnan Shipyard and Dalian Shipyard jointly launched a multi-purpose frigate with a displacement of only locks and stews, equipped with a lot of thugs, with complete regional air defense capabilities, comprehensive anti-submarine capabilities, and a multi-purpose frigate that uses a fully electric propulsion system.

Within the following years, this type of frigate was sold to many countries around the world, and a total of hundreds of ships were built!

The user's choice is the best review

In contrast, the US General Electric Communications Branch and Northrop Ship Branch jointly developed the multi-purpose destroyer directly targeting the export market. Before the suspension of production, it was only built for four countries, including Canada, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand. The two American companies did not even recover the design costs!

The basic characteristics of the "Cold War" determine the basic situation of national confrontation.

In the case of mutual fear of each other's ability to destroy each other's large-scale, the confrontation between the Republic and the United States will not be reflected in the battlefield of blood and fire, but will only be reflected in other areas based on comprehensive national strength. For example, diplomacy, economic and trade, politics, military cooperation and other occasions.

Without gunpowder, it often means that competition is even more cruel!
