Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 43 Everyone

In everyone's eyes, with Lin Xiaolei as Chief of Staff, the Navy Minister must have been glorious for a while, but the actual situation is far from as ideal as it is.

It is undeniable that since the out-of-birth fiscal year, the Navy's share in the national defense budget has been increasing. The new address of this site has been changed to: 8, Zhouguan, please log in to read!

By the year, the navy's military expenditure has accounted for the defense budget. Military expenditure accounts for the central government's fiscal budget. Although it is higher than the average level of 2 gills, it is still at a relatively low level compared with the 4 gills of the United States, 3 gills of the European Union, and 3 gills of Russia. "The reflection is equivalent to 2 yuan, and 2 percentage points is equivalent to more than 1 billion yuan. For all military branches that need to be thrifty and tighten their belts and live a life of trousers, it is definitely not a small amount of money. You must know that in the year of the knife power, the total allowance of tens of thousands of soldiers is only RMB 10,000. Including various benefits, it is not a bad dollar.

The problem is that the navy is originally a "high investment. Service.

More importantly, naval construction has a long cycle. After a project is started, it often needs to maintain high investment in the old year or even longer periods. Take aircraft carriers that symbolize naval strength, after the construction of 7 aircraft carriers of three-level 3, namely the "Republic", "Huaxia and "Beijing" class, the three large shipyards in the Republic belong to the Dalian Shipyard of the Northern Heavy Industry Group, the Jiangnan Shipyard controlled by China Heavy Equipment Group, and the Zhanjiang Shipyard acquired by China Heavy Equipment Group.

The factory has mastered the key technologies for designing and building large aircraft carriers; according to normal development laws, unless some key technologies make breakthroughs, they should be built in batches starting from the fourth aircraft carrier, and they will be replaced by the "Huaxia" and "Beijing" class "Republic" has been retired after the Indian War; in this way, the design life of the "Beijing" class in the future is years. If life extension is not improved, they will be retired one after another before the Year of the Year of the Year, and it must be guaranteed to be built every 2 to 3 years.

Build one; according to the "cost battle group costing the yuan per aircraft, calculated according to the annual currency value", the old 10,000-ton super aircraft carrier needs to be invested in the aircraft wing's heavy air combat aircraft, good light multi-purpose fighter aircraft, carrier-based early warning aircraft, 6 anti-submarine patrol aircraft, and 2 carrier-based transport aircraft in total. The total is determined by whether the service period is extended for the battle group. Therefore, maintaining a huge fleet with 6 to old aircraft carrier combat groups requires a large investment every year.

The maintenance cost of approximately BNzhou is 200 million yuan; it can be seen that the cost of purchasing and maintaining fleet equipment alone is about 400 million yuan; the Republic's Navy's military expenditure in Lihuanian was only over 2 trillion yuan. The budget of 4 entrols was spent on the fleet, and other combat troops outside the fleet still needed about 400 million yuan, and the military personnel investment was around; it is obvious that the Navy's funding was very tight. If it lasted for the old year, or even the BNY, no one could guarantee that the navy could develop normally.

As a Navy Xun Ling, Lin Xiaolei cannot be unaware of budget issues.

In a sense, due to the influence of high investment, the Navy was most injured in the third military reform. Wang Yuanqing insisted on letting Lin Xiaolei be the chief of staff, which is considered an invisible compensation to the Navy.

The problem is that the power to make budget decisions is not in the hands of the Chief of Staff.

Although according to the actual national conditions of the Republic, the Chief of the General Staff has a great say in the budget, and sometimes it can even surpass the Minister of Defense and decide on military expenditure. For example, in the era of Changmaobang, the Ministry of Defense had only the right to approve military expenditures, and the General Staff had the final say on how to use military expenditures.

During Wang Yuanqing's reign, the situation was similar. Ye Zhisheng, who served as Minister of Defense, was only responsible for approving military expenditures, and the specific use was decided by Xiang Yinghui. But when Gu Weimin was in power, especially when Gu Weimin wanted to turn the Ministry of Defense into a base, the power of military expenditure budget returned to the Ministry of Defense again. Lin Xiaolei could only fight for more budgets for the Navy at most, and could not decide on the specific allocation of military expenditures.

In response to this reality, Lin Xiaolei used a very clever method.

I have to say that as the Chief of Staff, Lin Xiaolei at least enjoyed privileges in information.

Because I had long expected that the world would not be peaceful. The Second Anghma War was just a sign of global turmoil, and more wars would definitely break out later. The Republic must make a difference and even get involved in wars in certain regions. Therefore, the navy can follow the army of that year, that is, use war expenses to promote the development of equipment. In this way, before the war breaks out, the navy only needs to prepare for the expansion of the army. The problem is that the construction cycle of the navy is significantly greater than that of the army. In any case, it will definitely take much more time to build a warship than to build a chariot, and except for world wars, warships cannot be produced on the assembly line; and tanks are produced on the assembly line at any time. In other words, the navy's preparations for expansion must be more comprehensive. The combat forces with a long construction cycle are given priority.

Mu Yong suspected that the average construction cycle of the Sino-Beijing class aircraft carrier, which has the longest absolutely cycle, is more than years, while only six of the Kennedy class 8 Ford class of the US Navy were built, and the construction cycle of the latter four was planned to be replaced by the redesigned Kenny-First class, which is even more long. In other words, even if construction starts in the Listone year, the eighth aircraft carrier of the Republic can only be launched in 0 years, and it will not be able to form combat effectiveness until the beginning of the year.

Because he has a certain say in military expenditure, Lin Xiaolei first ensured the construction of the aircraft carrier.

After 6 years of milk, that is, after going to the General Staff to preside over the daily work, Lin Xiaolei tried every means to ensure that the "Beijing" class that the Whip is being built is the first three improved models, and after the "Kennedy" class, the construction progress of the second type of super aircraft carrier in the world that adopts the principle of smart module design. Back in the second half of the year, after officially becoming the Chief of Staff, Lin Xiaolei won sufficient construction costs for Shan's aircraft carrier in the budget for the 2nd distillation fiscal year, and launched the construction plan for the third batch of three aircraft.

It was at this moment that Lin Xiaolei did something very unexpected.

The construction of the second batch of "Beijing"-class aircraft carriers of the Whip was interrupted at the end of Luo Nian. All modules that had not yet started construction were cancelled. The Navy Command issued a new construction contract at the beginning of the year. Although the Navy paid compensation for the thug's gill for unilateral tearing the contract, after the Navy promised to build the third batch of Whip aircraft carriers, the three major shipyards agreed to waive the compensation and actively cooperated with the Navy.

That's why the second batch of "Beijing"-class aircraft carriers were officially renamed to "Shanghai"-class at the end of the trade.

Compared with the "Beijing" class, the "Shanghai" class's hull has not changed much. The hull is the first to be built and the most unlikely to change, so the main size and quality data did not change much. The length of the waterline increased from 3 meters to 7 meters, and the standard displacement increased from Wang.tun to milk silly tons. The biggest change is the part inside the hull, especially the power part.

The rated output power of the two controllable fusion reactors used in the "Beijing" class is about 100 MW. In addition to providing aircraft carriers with maximum speeds of over-the-counter speed during speed tests above the Witch and above, it can only provide energy for short-range energy weapon systems. Because the output power of the power system is not high enough, it is difficult to equip the "Beijing" class with a longer distance high-power energy weapon system. The "Shanghai" class still uses two controllable fusion reactors, but the rated output power is in the design emergency for a single reactor above the mouth megawatt.

The output power is 4 megawatts; although due to the limitation of the propulsion system, the total propulsion power of the four propulsion systems is only 4-axis bow force, which is approximately the same as the "Shanghai" class's maximum designed speed is only the kinetic speed that is less than the maximum speed during the Wujie test, but when the energy system is guaranteed, in addition to replacing all kinetic energy interception systems with 8 sets of energy interception systems, at least 4 long-range interception systems can be equipped, and it serves as the energy supply center of the entire aircraft carrier battle group to provide electricity to other battleships in the formation.

In a sense, the Navy does not hesitate to reduce the construction progress, but also needs to use a power system with more powerful power, hoping to equip the aircraft carrier with a long-range energy interception system and make the aircraft carrier an energy supply center for the entire combat group, so that other warships can have the ability to install high-power energy interception systems.

More importantly, all three "Shanghai" class ships were completed and put into service at the beginning of the year of Liyun. The address of this site has been changed to: Qingbigu, please log in to Fa to read!

According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, because Lin Xiaolei already knew that the situation in the Middle East could not last long, he required three aircraft carrier combat groups to form combat effectiveness at the beginning of this year as early as last year.

Of course, the "Shanghai" class is definitely not a perfect modern aircraft carrier.

Not to mention, as a super aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons; if it is equipped with a power system with an output power exceeding the thug, such as a megawatt, the maximum speed is less than that. You must know that even if the power system is reduced by half, on the basis of a two-body or a trimaran, it can not only increase the available deck area of ​​the aircraft carrier, and more than double the survivability of the aircraft carrier, but also make its maximum navigation speed exceed the Tianjie. If a more efficient ship type is used, it can only achieve the maximum navigation speed that exceeds the Qinjie, which is the core of the fleet. However, in some people, the faster the fleet's speed, the better.

Not to mention reaching Yangjie, with the speed of large and medium-sized escort warships being equal to Tianjie, there is no reason for the aircraft carrier to be slower than 0 kilometers. In fact, the US Navy is already considering speeding up the aircraft carrier.

Just like the speed. "The overall design of Jihai-level is also criticized.

In other words, this is just a transitional aircraft carrier. It is also true that after signing the intention procurement contract for the third batch of whip aircraft carriers with three shipyards, the Navy requested a redesign. With the promise of purchasing in batches to replace all other aircraft carriers, it only bears the design cost of gills, and the design cost of the three shipyards. By the time Pei Chengyi returned to Beijing, the Navy not only negotiated the last few conditions with the three major shipyards, but also named the aircraft carrier being designed as the "Chongqing" class.

Although I did not see the detailed design plan, Pei Chengyi believed that this was definitely an aircraft carrier for the era of thugs.

Of course, because the work has not started, the "Chongqing"-level bad thing is the moon in the water, and the private problem of flowers in the fog is not helpful.

While building aircraft carriers in large quantities, the Navy did not purchase escort warships in large quantities.

In the words of Lin Xiaolei, in peacetime, only the minimum escort force is needed, that is, an aircraft carrier battle group only needs thugs, cruisers and destroyers, and other warships can be left in the port or undergo normal maintenance. In short, as long as there is no war, there is no problem in escorting warships.

In fact, the key purpose of doing this is to use the money on the edge.

Although the construction cycle of escort warships is not short, compared with aircraft carriers, it is pediatrics. Take air defense cruisers as an airplane design cycle is about 3 years, and if built in batches, it can be controlled within 3 years. The design and construction cycle of destroyers is about 8 years and 3 years, and the design and construction cycle of submarines is in the hands of the thugs to solve and provoke. In other words, when a war needs to be expanded on a large scale, that is, mobilizes after the outbreak of the world war, and build escort warships in large quantities can also meet the needs of the war and will not have too much impact on the war.

Of course, the solution is not as simple as not building.

In the words of the navy, the most reasonable application of escort warships is the key to ensuring the navy's combat effectiveness. In order to most rationally apply escort warships, in addition to increasing the time for the battleship to perform tasks, the navy's organizational system must be adjusted, breaking the rules and regulations, flexibly forming aircraft carrier battle groups, and using the least escort warships to serve the most aircraft carriers, thereby maximizing the use of military resources.

In this regard, Lin Xiaolei did a very thorough job. Under his arrangement, the Navy abolished the fleet system and flexibly matched the aircraft carrier battle group according to the theater system. To put it simply, in peacetime, all warships were under the management of the combat platform management office under the Navy Command. Only when the mission was needed, the warships were delegated to the fleet commands of each theater, and combat groups of different sizes were formed according to the needs. After completing the task, the command power was returned to the Navy Command. This management system not only allowed the maximum use of the combat platform, but also flexibly mobilized support materials through centralized management, thereby reducing the usual maintenance funds.

Thanks to the reform of the naval fleet organization system, the organization of naval aviation, especially the carrier-based aviation, has also been adjusted.

Like the new fleet organization, the aviation corps has also abolished the previous gang system, but instead centrally managed all aviation combat forces according to the brigade and squadron, and then allocated aviation combat forces according to needs. In other words, if the combat intensity is not large, only the aircraft carrier may be equipped with a frame and a fighter jet may be installed. If non-combat tasks are needed, more support aircraft will be equipped on the aircraft carrier. If the combat intensity is large, it may be possible to have a knife frame or even a grunt fighter jet. Through this flexible organization method, the most tasks can be performed with the fewest air force.

By the end of the year, the Republic's Navy had an aircraft carrier battle group, and the scale of the carrier-based aircraft troops remained at the level of 6 wings, with only 6 heavy air combat brigades, light multi-purpose fighter brigades and 6 support brigades.

The problem is that the organizational system of fleets and aviation forces is not without problems, but with big problems.

Not reducing the dispatch rate when the troop size is insufficient is equivalent to increasing the attendance rate, which makes most equipment not fully maintained and guaranteed during peacetime, and will lead to accelerated aging of equipment. Although under normal circumstances, these problems will be exposed only after being exposed, the Republic experienced the Indian War in Kuangnian, and most of the active equipment of the Navy participated in the Indian War, so in just a few years, the problem of equipment aging was exposed. The most serious problem is the naval aviation.

It is precisely because the Navy did not compete with the Air Force for the Dejin project of Xiaojiu and Xiaokou.

According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the primary issue of the Navy aviation is not how advanced combat aircraft are purchased, but how to get a batch of new combat aircraft as soon as possible so that those over-used fighter jets can be maintained normally and reach the designed service life.

Fortunately, this topic has attracted attention.

Since the end of the year, the Navy has increased its procurement efforts for aviation, and newly ordered combat aircraft have definitely been delivered one after another.

Although the aging degree of escort warships is also very serious, the design life of warships is generally above the blade year, which is around the previous year, so the pressure of warship renewal has not been exposed yet. Most warships can serve at least 0 years until the thug. As long as the navy can purchase more escort warships in recent years, it can effectively solve the problem of warship aging.

For the upcoming war of war, the pressure on the navy mainly comes from the outside world.

In any case, the US Navy has an aircraft carrier battle group that can be mobilized at any time by the Orochi, while the Republic's Navy can only mobilize the Orochi aircraft carrier battle group at most.

If you want to win the Middle East War, you must ensure that the maritime route is unobstructed.
