Bai Zhizhan was very impressed, but he was speechless.

If you want to say something, you can only secretly be glad that I am just a professional soldier and have not been involved in the power struggle of intrigue for the time being.

Of course, this also explains a problem.

After returning from Fan Yanyang, why didn't Xue Yuanzheng look for him?

It must be said that at least in terms of public and private affairs, Xue Yuanzheng distinguished very clearly.

Although he always valued Bai Zhizhan and always regarded Bai Zhizhan as his confidant, Xue Yuanzheng was not confused about the issues involving the core interests of the empire.

The ones that should be least disturbed at the moment are several capable players, such as Bai Zhizhan and Lian Xusheng.

Whether it is a talk or a fight, you need to maintain victory in the military.

If you lose a battle, what should you do to discuss?

It is precisely because Xue Yuanzheng did not look for Bai Zhizhan, but only asked Liu Changxun to come forward. After explaining the situation, he asked Bai Zhizhan to come to Puzhou.

Bai Zhizhan also had a clear understanding of the causes and consequences from Zhao Yu.

In fact, it is not the Song family that has the advantage now, or Xue Yuanzheng is trying his best to maintain the situation and avoid the expansion of internal conflicts having a negative impact on the overall situation.

Don't forget that it is a war time and the entire empire is in a state of war.

To put it bluntly, the power of the empire is in the hands of Xue Yuanzheng. Except for the empire emperor, the imperial chief minister can almost determine the life and death of all military and civilians.

If Xue Yuanzheng really wants to force him into a hurry, or if Xue Yuanzheng feels that there is no other way, he will be able to make all those who are ill-thinking in an overnight period of time.

Xue Yuanzheng has never done this, not because of the kindness of a woman, but because it is not time to do so.

Not to mention anything else, the Song family has almost no influence in the army, so no matter how fierce the trouble is, it cannot pose a substantial threat to Xue Yuanzheng.

If you want to say this, this is the key to the Song family's failure to achieve success and surpassing the Tang family.

The way Xue Yuanzheng used to maintain the situation was actually to win battles all the time.

In Zhao Yu's words, as long as the imperial army continues to win battles and is getting closer and closer to the overall victory, the Song family will not get any chance.

Only when the Imperial Army is defeated can the Song family have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

It would be simple to recognize this problem.

Because Zhao Yu usually doesn't drink too much and has no alcohol tolerance, neither of them drinks. After talking about the main business, they go to rest.

After struggling for a whole day, Bai Zhizhan was really exhausted.

The next morning, Bai Zhizhan and Zhao Yu went to the port with Zhao Yu and boarded the "provincial"-class aircraft carrier with hull number 007.

As expected, the ship will be named "Pu".

However, according to the current naming specifications, the ship has only the hull number for the time being, and will only obtain the corresponding name after it is officially delivered.

Today, the ship will undergo its last sea trial before delivery.

Of course, unlike in peacetime, only basic performance testing is carried out before delivery, while many extreme performances are arranged to be carried out during the military acceptance stage.

If you want to say it, the ship had conducted a total of 5 sea trials before this.

It’s not that I can’t bear to burn oil, but that time is very tight.

Even the last sea trial is only a test of whether the auxiliary power system and some large electronic equipment can be used normally without making preliminary preparations.

As for the carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing tests that Bai Zhizhan cares about, they will be carried out during the acceptance stage.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time that Bai Zhizhan has landed on a large-scale aircraft carrier of the "provincial" level.

Although I have visited Puzhou Shipyard many times before and participated in several surveys on aircraft carrier construction, none of them were conducted on aircraft carriers.

In addition, I only saw a small aircraft carrier yesterday.

The contrast between the falls is indeed very shocking.

In Bai Zhizhan's words, in front of the "provincial" level, several small aircraft carriers were in a minor state yesterday and were not on the same level at all.

In addition, only after boarding the aircraft carrier can you truly feel the great benefits.

The most obvious thing is the division of the flight deck.

Previously, on the fleet aircraft carrier, the flight deck did not divide a fixed functional area. Only when needed, the air service personnel temporarily set up relevant functional areas, such as the take-off preparation area around the elevator, the front ejection take-off area, and the fault handling area in front and behind the island.

On large aircraft carriers, it's different.

On the flight deck, several special functional areas are marked with different color markings, the most important of which is the residence area on both sides of the deck.

This is also a major advantage of large aircraft carriers.

After leaving enough landing space, several permanent carrier-based aircraft tying points can be set up in the longitudinal direction on both sides of the flight deck.

Carrier-based aircraft parked at these tethered points will not have an impact on landing.

To be said, the "provincial" level is not large enough, and the parking area on the left is relatively narrow, and carrier-based aircraft can only park obliquely, which limits the number of parking spaces.

One of the major benefits of having an extra stopover area is that it can empty the deck while retaining standby fighters and speed up the dispatch speed in emergencies.

Or, when retrieving the return carrier aircraft, several fighter jets can be left on standby without the need to clear the flight deck like the fleet carrier.

To put it bluntly, fighter jets on standby can slide directly from the tail of the deck.

In actual operation, if the pilot sits in the cabin, it can save several minutes!

Never underestimate these few minutes.

During air defense operations, a few minutes are enough to effectively intercept the incoming aircraft fleet.

Judging from the previous fleet decisive battle, it is only a few minutes for those who decide the outcome of the air defense operation, or even the life and death of the aircraft carrier.

The second benefit of the huge hull is reflected in the hangar.

The "provincial" level is the first type of aircraft carrier in the Imperial Navy that has a ceiling-mounted area in the hangar.

Strictly speaking, it is actually the second type.

More than ten years ago, the Imperial Navy tested the equipment to hang carrier-based aircraft in the hangar at the "Longjiang" level, but the effect was not ideal, and there were many unsolvable problems. The operability was very poor. It was dismantled after the test was completed and there was no formal equipment.

At the "provincial" level, carrier-based aircraft are carried through hanging, which is just for emergency response. To be precise, it is to load more backup aircraft.

In fact, what is considered during design is not to carry more carrier-based aircraft.

According to Zhao Yu, the initial idea was actually to speed up the transfer speed of carrier-based aircraft in the hangar, improve the operating efficiency inside the hangar, and reduce the operating intensity.

To put it bluntly, that is to reduce the burden on the service staff.

However, in later operations, the service staff found that it could be used to hang backup carrier-based aircraft, thereby increasing the carrying capacity of carrier-based aircraft.

Since then, in actual combat operations, these hanging positions are often used to carry additional spare parts to repair damaged carrier-based aircraft on the front line.

As for the value, of course, there is no need to say more.

In the past few battles, about half of the damaged carrier-based aircraft have occupied valuable space on the aircraft carrier and have to be scrapped because they are unable to be repaired on the aircraft carrier. Many of these damaged carrier-based aircraft that have been thrown directly into the sea can actually be repaired, or have the value of repair.

In fact, just reaching a floor height of 5 meters frees the hands of the carrier-based aircraft designers, allowing the designers to no longer overemphasize the height of the carrier-based aircraft.

This alone has great value that cannot be measured.
