Just as the global currency war began, a new post-war naval arms race also kicked off.

The Royal Navy of the Tang Empire almost wiped out the main force of the Japanese joint fleet in the Pacific Ocean. Aircraft carriers and carrier-based aviation have become the focus of attention of navies around the world. Without exception, all countries have recognized the huge war potential of aircraft carriers and the huge threat to conventional giant ships, cannons, surface ships.

Since the Tang Empire defeated Japan, the third largest naval power in the world, it was naturally listed as the first-class naval power.

In response, the Tang Empire also disclosed the ships of the Tang Royal Navy aircraft carrier battle group to the military visiting groups of European and American power countries, allowing them to board the ship to visit.

This is to show the military power of the Tang Empire to the international community, to show that the Tang Empire will not hide it and that the military is transparent to the international community, so as to offset the threat theory of the Tang Empire that is quietly emerging in Europe and the United States, and to show that the Tang Empire's unwillingness to be enemies with other countries except Japan, so that all countries can rest assured.

At the same time, this is also to show off the powerful muscles of the Tang Empire to various European and American naval powers, shocking some countries that want to bully or are preparing to bully the Tang Empire, making them feel scruples.

After visiting the aircraft carriers of the Tang Navy, the officials of each official visited the aircraft carriers, they were not very interested in the aircraft carrier itself, but were more interested in the Tang Army's carrier-based aircraft.

There is no doubt that the Tang army's Raptor heavy carrier-based fighter jets and Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers, even if they are just quietly arranged on the aircraft carrier deck, their majestic appearance and black metal luster reveal their incomparable domineering aura. They will make visitors feel respectful.

Military officers from various European and American powers, including Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Italy, etc., were interested in these two domineering heavy fighter jets, asked about their performance data, and asked Tang army pilots to perform.

The Tang army sent Gao Zhihang, Zhao Wenyi and other ace pilots to personally fly Raptors and Hellfire fighters to perform for military officers from various countries. Their excellent flight stunts won the applause of ace pilots from European and American power countries. The excellent performance of Raptors and Hellfire fighters surprised and impressed everyone.

The United Kingdom, the United States, Italy and other countries immediately showed interest in purchasing and introducing these two aircraft. They negotiated with officials of the Ministry of Defense of the Tang Empire, hoping to obtain these two powerful fighter jets.

According to Zhang Meng's instructions, the Ministry of Defense of the Tang Dynasty allowed exports of Raptors and Hellfires, but the export model was one level lower than the current model of the Tang army.

The achievements made by the Tang Empire in turboprop engines are kept confidential to the outside world, so the engines exported to foreign countries were changed back to the original piston engine. Due to the reduction of power, the armor protection of exported fighters has been greatly reduced, and the range and combat radius have been reduced accordingly. In particular, Hellfire has been reduced to only one 500-kilogram aviation bomb.

Even though the export models of these two fighters have greatly reduced, the overall structure of these two fighters is very advanced. You should know that the whole aircraft of these two fighters has passed the super wind tunnel test and is ahead of the world in terms of flight stability and structural strength in various environments. It is still a very good carrier-based aircraft. The United Kingdom, which has an aircraft carrier, ordered 40 Raptors and 20 Hellfires, the United States ordered 35 Raptors and 15 Hellfires, France ordered 24 Raptors and 8 Hellfires, Italy ordered 5 Raptors.

In fact, the two carrier-based aircrafts ordered by various countries from the Tang Dynasty, Raptor and Hellfire, have more political significance than military significance. All countries want to make friends with the Tang Dynasty, especially the United States, Britain and France. They have a large number of colonies in the Central and South Pacific, all within the combat radius of the Tang Dynasty's naval aviation. Therefore, they must properly handle their relationship with the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, countries also want to use this to understand the advanced level of the Tang army's carrier-based aircraft. Although they know that the Tang army will make their performance significantly shrink in export models, it is not difficult to guess the real performance and combat effectiveness of the Tang army's current service Hellfire and Raptors.

In any case, the Tang Empire undoubtedly benefited a lot, which increased its international reputation and reputation, and promoted the first export of Datang Airlines to the outside world, making a lot of profits, which was also a good start for Datang Airlines to go abroad and go to the world.

As various military officer delegations visited the Tang Empire and visited the Tang Army aircraft carrier battle group and witnessed the power of the Tang Army's carrier-based aviation, the naval departments of various countries issued plans to strengthen the air defense firepower equipment of their respective naval battleships and start construction of aircraft carriers.

Navy of all countries around the world have set off the first round of modernization and modification of active warships. They have changed a batch of sea attack artillery from active warships to high-level dual-purpose artillery, and have added a large number of anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to improve air defense capabilities. The warships under construction have strengthened horizontal armor protection capabilities so that they can resist the bombardment of carrier-based aircraft aviation bombs.

Because the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire could belittle the armor of Japanese naval warships was too thin and lacked enough air defense artillery to suffer a crushing defeat. At the same time, the Tang Empire also stated that it would build battleships as the main battleships of the fleet, which misled the naval generals of various countries and made them still believe that aircraft carriers could not replace battleships as the main force of the fleet, but they had to pay attention to the role of aircraft carriers.

Fortunately, the London Naval Treaty did not restrict aircraft carriers, and countries seized this loophole and introduced plans to build new aircraft carriers.

Britain was the first to start construction of a large Ark class aircraft carrier. This class of ships was originally planned to build eight, because the Tang Empire had four large aircraft carriers. The Royal Navy of the British Empire had at least twice the size of the Tang Navy to show its strength. However, due to funding issues, only four large aircraft carriers with a standard platoon of 23,000 tons, a speed of 31 knots, and a 70 aircraft carrier.

Due to funding issues, France finally approved only one Normandy-class battleship to an aircraft carrier. One has been modified before, plus the total number of two large aircraft carriers to be transformed, it is known as an unsinkable aircraft carrier because it has the powerful armor of the battleship.

However, those who are interested still pointed out that the Japanese also modified an aircraft carrier with battleships, but they were still sunk by Tang army aircraft, so the non-sinking aircraft carrier does not exist. However, the French were immersed in the sense of honor of not sinking aircraft carriers, and no one was allowed to say something bad.
