In the large pod under the airship, in addition to a large number of seats and sofas made of aluminum alloy, the ground is also completely paved with tempered glass with a metal frame. This makes it very convenient to observe the situation below. It is specially designed for various countries.

Specially designed for observers to visit maritime military exercises.

Observers from all over the world were amazed by the exquisiteness of the airships produced by the Chinese Empire. The luxurious and comfortable layout inside the airship also made them enjoy it extremely. Of course, in order to allow them to clearly see the military exercise process from various positions, in addition to the transparent

Beyond the ground, there are a large number of windows around the airship, and the windows are equipped with fixed high-power telescopes.

Representatives of the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers took two airships and ascended over the Oahu Islands. Since the Chinese Empire's airships have always been filled with helium, the envoys from various countries did not worry about their safety. They were very comfortable.

Sitting in their seats, enjoying the wine and various exquisite foods provided by the flight attendants, admiring the blue ocean at their feet, waiting for the military exercise to begin.

An hour later, the two airships arrived over the exercise area. The NATO allied fleets had already formed a neat line. In order to allow observers from various countries to see more clearly, the airships lowered their altitude. Seeing that the NATO fleet had appeared, observers from various countries

They all moved towards the telescope.

"What a huge fleet, what a big battleship." Commodore Censke from the Habfsburg Kingdom exclaimed. He was surprised by the Zhili-class battleship's full load displacement of more than 60,000 tons, because in

In their country, they still use old-fashioned battleships with a full load displacement of less than 30,000 tons.

"That's a Governor-class aircraft carrier. It looks similar to our Boston Empire's Essex-class aircraft carrier." Colonel McGrady, the Boston Empire's military attaché on another airship, said.

The famous Admiral Mahan, a retired special naval observer of the Boston Empire, looked at him like an idiot and said: "You don't need to say it out loud, our country's Essex-class aircraft carriers are modeled after the Governor-class aircraft carriers.

"

"But speaking of it, the Essex-class aircraft carrier is more powerful." Next to him, Lablan, the envoy of the Kingdom of Moss, quickly curried favor with his overlord. Mahan had always looked down upon these guys who could only flatter themselves.

, he just snorted softly in his nose, which was regarded as an answer to Lablan.

"The First Battle Fleet is at two-thirds full speed, turn left and prepare for bombardment." Second-level Admiral Gao Tonghui, who was in charge of commanding this exercise, gave an order. The four Zhili-class battleships belonging to the Chinese Empire first accelerated and completed the turn.

A large number of 406 mm caliber main guns raised their muzzles and aimed at the target ship thirty-five kilometers away.

The forty-eight main guns fired in unison, and the first salvo began. "Huh? Don't they fire two calibration bombs before every shot?" Lieutenant Commander Saar Cunningham, who is very familiar with the bombardment habits of the Chinese Empire's battleships.

It will look a little strange.

As soon as he finished speaking, dense shells landed near the moving target ship. The farthest impact point was no more than fifty meters. Three shells had even hit the target ship. In the huge explosion,

The target ship, which weighed more than 6,000 tons, soon began to sink.

Seeing the effect of this bombardment, all observers from various countries who are familiar with the navy opened their mouths in surprise and were in shock for a long time. In the battleship bombardment of various countries around the world, such long-distance bombardment is generally avoided by the navies of various countries.

Because in the face of today's backward optical sighting system, the hit rate of such a long-distance artillery strike will not exceed 3%. It is really incredible that the battleship of the Chinese Empire can hit such an accurate first round.

The first group of Zhili-class battleships were used by the Chinese Empire for their own use. They were equipped with special fire control radars, so they could hit the target so accurately. The subsequent eight Zhili-class battleships and eight Shannan-class battleships were all used by the Allies. , their warships do not have radar fire control systems, so the accuracy of these warships has returned to normal levels. Even due to insufficient naval training in these countries, the accuracy has dropped slightly.

Seeing the accuracy of the warships behind them, observers from various countries breathed a sigh of relief. The accurate bombardment of the battleships in the first group was attributed to the well-trained training of the Chinese Imperial Navy. However, even with good training, such accuracy can be achieved. It also made them look at each other in shock. Some observers began to consider whether this situation was related to the fact that the Chinese Empire used active battleships for training starting from the military academy, regardless of losses.

The subsequent bombardment and torpedo attack by the cruiser and destroyer formations did not have many highlights, but the well-trained training of the Chinese Imperial Navy was still very obvious. In addition, the six Governor-class aircraft carriers of the Allies were only equipped with the navy used by the Chinese Empire. The Golden Eagle 3 fighter jets, Albatross dive bombers and old-fashioned Swordfish torpedo planes do not have many highlights.

When the three General-class aircraft carriers appeared, observers from various countries finally cheered up. The huge 60,000-ton body of the General-class aircraft carrier slowly accelerated, and the aircraft on it slid onto the flight runway one by one. In the astonished eyes of everyone, A plane without a propeller actually took off and quickly jumped into the sky.

"This is impossible. No jet aircraft can shorten the take-off distance to two hundred meters." Captain McGrady, the naval attache of the Boston Empire, exclaimed.

Colonel Maddie had learned about the performance of jet aircraft in China, and also knew that the Imperial Navy had given up the idea of ​​using the F84 fighter jet as a carrier-based aircraft because its take-off distance reached 800 meters. However, here he actually saw an aircraft carrier flying from the aircraft carrier. The jet plane took off, but the deck length of the mothership was definitely not more than 250 meters.

This kind of jet aircraft is unheard of in all countries except the Chinese Empire and the Boston Empire. Both countries keep the jet aircraft secret and unknown to the outside world, so although a few people have seen this aircraft without propellers Very surprised, but no one could have imagined the performance improvement this change represents.

Various aircraft taking off from various aircraft carriers launched attacks on the target ships. The dense bombs and torpedoes quickly sank several target ships. The jet fighters did not have anti-ship attack weapons, so they did not attack this time. What was remarkable about the attack was that even Colonel McGrady thought the plane was just a fighter jet.

The final anti-submarine drill once again surprised observers from various countries. The two huge ones were even larger than the General-class aircraft carriers, and the Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, which were about the same size as the Zhili-class battleships, quickly began to accelerate. I saw the Wasp-class amphibious assault ships. The ship was huge and had direct access to the deck. Colonel McGrady thought it was a new aircraft carrier of the Chinese Empire. He was very surprised that there were no carrier-based aircraft taking off from these two warships just now. But now the mystery is finally revealed.

The amphibious assault ship's elevator was busy for a while, transporting several strange aircraft onto the deck. This group of observers stared at these aircraft with binoculars. After watching for a long time, they could only guess what they were from the streamlined nose and the deck they were on. Apart from being used for flying, there is no clue what kind of aircraft this is or how it should be used.

Soon, each of the five Wasp-type anti-submarine helicopters on the amphibious assault ship moved to the designated take-off and landing sites. The main rotors began to rotate rapidly, and soon ten helicopters rose from the ground and rose vertically into the air.

"It didn't need to roll before it took off," an observer shouted in surprise.

"Its propeller is actually installed on it." Another observer also exclaimed.

Ten Wasp anti-submarine helicopters flew in various directions, hovering dozens of meters in the air several hundred meters away from the fleet. Soon depth bombs were thrown into the water one after another, causing huge splashes of water to explode.

One can see naval officials drooling wildly. How can submarines from various countries survive with such aircraft?

The performance of the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship was not over yet. Two doors suddenly opened at the rear of the two warships, revealing the large docks inside the warships. Soon, six hovercrafts floated out of the two docks and drove to the sea.

At the meeting, the military attachés from various countries were all insiders. Naturally, they could see at a glance that these hovercrafts were used for landing operations. They were also secretly frightened. With such a quick attack method, the situation of amphibious landing operations was completely overturned.

After all the combat exercises were completed, the three cruisers moved closer to the Chinese Empire's unique comprehensive supply ship. Two cruisers were on both sides, and one cruiser was behind. The four ships formed a triangle formation, and the situation was at the same speed.

On the sea.

Just when the military attaches from various countries didn't know what they were doing, several steel cables were suddenly shot from the comprehensive supply ship. The steel cables were quickly caught by the sailors on the three cruisers and fixed on special slots.

Various boxes were quickly slid from one end of the comprehensive supply ship to the cruiser through a steel cable. A thick black pipe passed through the other steel cable, which was obviously used to replenish fresh water or fuel.

"The sailors are well-trained, the battleships are sharp, the aircraft are advanced, and supplies are fast. How many chances do you think we have to defeat such a navy?" Admiral Mahan put down his telescope and asked earnestly, regarding the Boston Imperial Navy's proposal to fight with the enemy in the Eastern Ocean.

He was opposed to NATO's decisive battle plan from the beginning.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg of the Chinese Empire. There are several warships registered with the intelligence department that did not appear in this military exercise. We have no idea what kind of combat power they have. There are so many

Unknown, you actually dare to suggest a decisive battle with them, I don’t know what the top brass of the Navy are thinking." Seeing no one answer, Admiral Mahan added another sentence.

Colonel Mattie was a naval officer. After hearing that Admiral Mahan praised the Chinese Imperial Navy, he said angrily: "Perhaps this is all their strength. Those warships that did not appear did not have much combat effectiveness at all, so they did not dare to
