It helps Germany achieve unity! The Prime Minister of Blood has been extinguished. Bismarck said that peace will not be obtained on the negotiating table, but will be fought on the battlefield. In the months before World War III, the war mobilization work between the Republic and the United States, and the military industrial production capacity has exploded in full swing, fully demonstrating Bismarck's view.

Although in the eyes of peace-loving people, the London Treaty keeps mankind from self-destruction and the Stockholm Agreement allows mankind to avoid killing each other, this is inevitably too ideal. As two international treaties based on power, their contribution to peace will certainly not stand the test.

After the outbreak of World War III, Russia dropped all strategic nuclear warheads to the Republic, and the Republic immediately counterattacked Russia's strategic nuclear facilities. After the United States joined the war, it also launched a strategic nuclear strike with the Republic. These are enough to prove that the purpose of the London Treaty is not to destroy nuclear weapons, but to make nuclear weapons worthless. Of course, nuclear weapons are not worthless. For example, after China and the United States threw strategic nuclear warheads to each other and intercepted them, the artificial facilities in outer space were almost completely damaged. In addition, two super

Major powers at the same level attach great importance to "control of heaven" and do their best to prevent the other side from controlling heaven's power, so human aerospace activities are almost completely terminated. Although the EU's space launch is not threatened, in order to avoid accidental injuries, the EU has announced the temporary termination of space launches at the end of the month. It has to be admitted that the London Treaty is not worthless, no matter what, nuclear warheads that explode in outer space are much better than nuclear warheads that explode in the atmosphere. Compared with the nuclear winter that covers the world, losing space capabilities will not pose a threat to human existence.

Relatively speaking, the Stockholm Agreement has very limited significance.

Although the Stockholm Agreement has made some positive contributions from the perspective of curbing the spread of conventional military forces, in the long run, the agreement not only did not play an active role in curbing the world war, but instead fueled the world war, making the conflict between the two superpowers uncontrollable, and also allowed the two superpowers to complete the war preparations more calmly. To put it clearly, if the Stockholm Agreement was not available, that is, the conventional arms race was uncontrollable, the economy of the Republic and the United States would be overwhelmed two years ago. Under the threat of a comprehensive economic collapse, the authorities of the two countries would definitely not hesitate, and the world war would break out two years ahead of schedule. As we all know, the head of the Republic at that time was Yan Jingyu, and the US president was not Du Qiwei, so the determination of the two superpowers to war would definitely not be as good as the later.

Of course, these are just speculations and analysis and cannot be verified.

Based on the actual situation, the Stockholm Agreement has had little impact on the conventional arms race, and at least it has no obstruction to the preparations for the two superpowers.

Some people may think that this statement is problematic. After all, the positive role played by the Stockholm Agreement in restricting the conventional arms race is there. Take the Navy's "ship construction competition" as an example. Without the Stockholm Agreement, there would be no clear restrictions on the total tonnage of naval ships in various countries. From previous years to years, the total number of warships built by the Republic and the United States will at least double. Moreover, the displacement of various warships will increase a lot, making the navy larger and bloated, and making the Third World War even more cruel.

Objectively speaking, this view is not wrong.

The problem is. From another perspective, there will be different discoveries.

Still taking the Navy's "ship building competition" as an example, affected by the Stockholm Agreement. The Republic and the U.S. Navy have to improve the fleet's combat capabilities under strict tonnage restrictions, so they have devoted more energy to ship design and the research and development of new weapons and equipment. To put it bluntly. Without the Stockholm Agreement, the Republic and the U.S. Navy will definitely be willing to build aircraft carriers with larger tonnage to increase the number of ship-based aviation troops.

Team attack capability instead of investing hundreds of billions of scientific research funds in spiral electromagnetic guns, so it is unlikely that spiral electromagnetic guns will be launched in the 00s, and it will be difficult to play such an important role in World War III. If we consider the impact on the ground battlefield, spiral electromagnetic guns can definitely be regarded as revolutionary weapons that integrate the appearance of war. Similarly, there are new aviation equipment based on spiral magnetic induction propulsion systems, new submarines based on fluid collision mechanics, etc.

Even if the impact of new technologies is not considered, the Stockholm Agreement has very limited effect due to changes in the naval development mode and ship construction mode.

As we all know, after entering the century, modular technology was first fully applied on naval warships. By the end of the era, almost all warships adopted modular design ideas and construction methods. Influenced by this, the Republican Navy and the US Navy took the lead in seeking changes in development mode, that is, finding ways to solve some of the inherent shortcomings of the navy and improve the navy's combat and use efficiency. Obviously, the way out lies in modularity. The first application was the maritime base first created by the Republican Navy.

Let’s not talk about how much significance the sea base has. The development ideas alone have infinite value.

To put it simply, after fully adopting the modular design principle, there is no need to characterize warships in traditional ways such as "class ships". There is no need to design a warship in a separate way. Instead, different functional modules are designed for combat needs, and then assemble these modules into warships when needed, thereby minimizing the construction cycle of warships.

If it were in peacetime, no navy would do this.

The reason is very simple. Even if it is for the same combat needs, such as fleet air defense operations, the threats and tactical needs faced are not completely consistent. For example, the tactical requirements of intercepting enemy aircraft and intercepting missiles are different, so the specific performance of the module must be very different. To design a module for various combat environments, the design investment alone is very amazing. For example, the Republic's Navy conducted an assessment in Gou Nian, dividing combat tasks into major categories such as air defense and anti-missile, sea control, support, anti-submarine and escort, and then according to different threat levels, in order to cope with all combat situations, and maximize the combat efficiency of the warship. At least a variety of tactical modules are needed, plus power, propulsion, communication, etc., the total modules that need to be designed exceed the blade.

, %, know %, % , … However, when labor costs have become the main expense, such a huge scale without measuring will definitely make any kind of warships too expensive for the navy to bear.

The problem is that in some special cases, this is not outrageous.

Corpse King

For example, being threatened by world wars and unable to build too many warships, it is necessary to expand the fleet size at the fastest speed during the war.

Obviously, this is the biggest contribution of the Stockholm Agreement to the Navy's "ship building competition".

To put it bluntly, it is to let the Republican Navy and the US Navy use more power to design Chiang style warships instead of building new style warships before the war breaks out.

Of course, this also includes improving the efficiency of modular design and construction.

According to reliable information, before the outbreak of the war, the Republic's Navy had secretly completed nearly 70% of the design work. Because as early as two years, the Republic's authorities set the tone and spent huge amounts of money to build the most advanced supercomputer system at that time, so when designing warship modules, the Republic's Navy must have different severity and importance. The modules that contributed the most during the war and had the greatest impact on the situation were given priority. Some irrelevant modules or modules that the navy could not use for the time being were placed behind to ensure that the shipyard could be operated at full speed immediately after the war broke out.

Among the modules that are guaranteed first, there must be anti-submarine modules.

In any case, the Republic is a typical maritime power. Although in the eyes of many people, the Republic is a land civilized country with land power over maritime power, not a maritime civilization country like Britain, and the Chinese nation is indeed a typical mainland nation, but as the Republic enters the ranks of developed countries, it replaces the United States as the world's largest trading country and the largest importer of resources and labor. The Republic has become a typical maritime civilization country, and it can no longer be separated from the ocean. You must know that even when World War III broke out, there is still no other means to replace sea transportation and transport hundreds of billions of tons of materials and products from one place to another. It is precisely this. After the Indian War, the Republic welcomed the chief of staff in the uniform of a general. The navy also became a major military spender.

Mu Yong suspected that the navy was a military force surrounding sea control.

The navy has only two tasks: one is to seize sea control power from the enemy or prevent the enemy from using sea control power. The other is to provide protection for our own forces that use sea control power.

Relatively speaking, the latter has more significance than the former.

Take the US Navy in World War II for example. In order to seize sea control power from the enemy and prevent the enemy from using sea control power, the United States built dozens of fleet aircraft carriers, hundreds of large warships and hundreds of submarines. However, in order to provide protection for its own forces that use sea control power, the United States built hundreds of escort aircraft carriers, thousands of escort warships, and tens of millions of tons of transport ships.

Judging from the tonnage alone, the latter is the old multiples of the former.

From the perspective of influence, the top priority of the Republic's Navy is to protect the sea control.

The reason is very simple. As long as the Republic's navy can defend the sea control power within the sphere of influence and allow its own forces to effectively utilize the sea control power, the Republic can be invincible. Only on the basis of invincibility can we consider how to defeat the enemy and achieve victory.

Mu Yong doubted that the biggest threat to the Republic's sea-control authority was the US Navy's submarines.

In fact, from the day of its birth, submarines are not weapons used to seize sea control or protect sea control. They are weapons used to destroy the enemy's sea control. Whether it is German submarines in World War I, "wolf packs" in World War II, and American submarines fighting in the Pacific, their greatest contribution is to make the sea control power controlled by the other side worthless, and all navies that violate this law, that is, submarines

To carry out tasks that have nothing to do with destroying sea control. For example, ambushing the enemy's main fleet, the result is not much better. The most typical one is the Japanese Navy in World War II. Although the Japanese Navy's submarines also seized the opportunity, killed several US main ships, and even sank the fleet's aircraft carriers. However, compared with the US Navy's submarines, Japanese submarines with more advanced performance and stronger endurance should have achieved greater results in the waters east of the Hawaiian Islands.

Obviously, the US Navy will never make the mistakes of the Japanese Navy.

Although the US Navy did not own many submarines before the outbreak of the war, even fewer than the Republican Navy, there was enough intelligence to prove that the US Navy designed several submarines before the Tiannian year, but it was limited by the total tonnage of the submarine and did not start construction. More importantly, before the Island Year, the US Navy designed a kind of displacement that was not bladed for the world war. It was fully equipped with a small controllable fusion reactor and composite battery, with unlimited cruise capacity, and can use batteries to make silently propelled attack submarines during attack. The biggest advantage of this submarine is that it can be built in large quantities during the war. You must know that as early as before the Cha Nian year, when tactical indicators are set higher and higher, the attack submarines between the Republic and the United States are attacked by the Republic and the United States as the tactical indicators are set higher and higher.

The average tonnage of a boat exceeds the heart ton. By 2018, it has been close to 2 pounds. The direct result is that the cost of attack and submarine is getting higher and higher, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to build in large quantities. If some unnecessary performance is sacrificed, such as continuous navigation at the speed of our salon, and the complexity of weapons is reduced, such as only equipped with heavy torpedoes and anti-ship missiles launched through torpedo launchers, the cost of building a ton-class attack submarine can be built to a Xiabian Stew class attack submarine. More importantly, the construction of this "simple" attack submarine is definitely very short, and it will not exceed half a year in a state of war. In other words, the US military can increase the number of submarines at the fastest speed, thus posing a fatal threat to the Republic's maritime lifeline.

Of course, the Republic's Navy also had a similar plan. After the outbreak of the war, the first list of emergency shipbuilding submitted by the Republic's Navy to the State Council included a CBD attack submarine, and the first batch was built in a large number of graceful ships. More importantly, the anti-submarine capabilities of this submarine are very limited, and its main task is to attack unarmed merchant ships. According to the navy's breakthrough tactics, the Eydul class attack submarine will cooperate with the Gukounmeng class attack submarine to form a special breaking formation. The former is specifically responsible for dealing with the enemy's fleet and escort ships, and the latter is also responsible for dealing with the enemy's anti-submarine submarines without the command and coordination work.

It is undeniable that the Republic's Navy also knows the importance of anti-submarine.

,stone

Objectively speaking, the most ideal anti-submarine weapon is a submarine, not a surface warship and an anti-submarine aircraft. The problem is that submarines are the most complex battleships, and even the most complex weapons. You should know that submarines are closed systems, that is, after the size data is determined, they can only be designed at the rated size and tonnage. Instead, like other weapons, in order to meet performance indicators, the design indicators can be appropriately relaxed. More importantly, the construction of submarines is also the most difficult. Not to mention anything else. There are only 6 countries that can make a submarine with a pressure-resistant shell, namely the Republic, the United States, Russia, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. Other developed industrial countries do not have this ability. From the perspective of combat use, the efficiency of submarine execution of a breakthrough mission must exceed the efficiency of performing anti-submarine missions. From another perspective, the main purpose of an anti-submarine mission is not to kill the enemy's submarine, but to ensure that your own ships are not sneak attacked by enemy submarines.

This characteristic is more prominent in the escort operations of the cover transport fleet. The reason is very simple. The fleet's mission is to deliver cargo to its destination, and the sailing speed of modern transport ships is very fast. It is generally above the knots, and some even exceed the knots. Therefore, the voyage is wizard. kilometers is the lifeline of the Republic's flying sea, which is on the average voyage route. The actual voyage time of the fleet is only an hour, that is, about 3 days. In this way, the escort fleet's mission is to ensure that the fleet is not ambushed by submarines in such a short time. As we all know, anti-submarines are not known.

Operation is a very test of patience. At some point, anti-submarine ships will even deal with submarines for several days, so the fleet will reach its destination before killing the enemy submarines. It can be seen that in the case where protection transport ships consider the main purpose, anti-submarine forces should try to deter enemy submarines as much as possible, rather than fighting enemy submarines. In this way, anti-submarine warships sailing on the sea and anti-submarine aircraft flying in the air are definitely more suitable for escort operations than submarines. Considering that submarines will make obvious noises when sailing at high speed, submarines are not suitable for companion escorts.

Serving.

Affected by these factors, the first list of shipbuildings of the Republic's Navy also included a professional escort warship.

Like all ships specifically targeting war environments. This number of escorts with a number of "four" is not large. The standard displacement is only strong, and the full load displacement is less than the stew. The waterline length is over 0 meters. Large warships that are most suitable for navigation generally adopt three-body surfing ships with better survivability. It can be seen that the main performance of this escort warship will not be very good either. The maximum navigation speed is slower than the main warships. The maximum range is the sword and the main warships all have unlimited endurance. Only point air defense systems with a range of less than ugly kilometers and intercept systems. The main anti-submarine weapons are vertically launched anti-submarine missiles and light electric anti-submarine anti-submarine.

Fish and two vertical take-off and landing anti-submarine patrol aircraft. The main subsubmarine exploration method is the retractable and release sonar and the retractable sonar on the anti-submarine patrol aircraft. It is not equipped with towed sonar. To be fair, the anti-submarine capability of the plan is definitely not very good. It is far less than that of the aircraft, and the anti-submarine destroyers in the cooperative battle group, and even less than the multi-purpose destroyers. Of course, the biggest advantage of this kind of warship is that it is cheap and very easy to build. Not to mention, after the controllable fusion reactor is left, the construction cost of the fourth is at least reduced. However, its main combat capability is not greatly affected, that is, when the battery is fully charged, it can sail at a speed of tens of thousands of times, which is enough to allow its protected fleet to reach its destination.

Relatively speaking, the characteristics of facilitating construction are more prominent and more important.

Thanks to the relatively slowest navigation speed and the optimal hull design, the 4th does not require the use of military-standard high-strength steel. The main structure of the civilian rapid transport ship can be built using steel for steel to build even some secondary components with non-metallic materials. Because of the limited displacement, only a stew-class ship platform is needed, and the assembly of all systems can be completed on the ship platform. This greatly shortens the construction cycle and allows some small and medium-sized shipyards to build it. Later, this anti-submarine ship is mainly in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The construction of inland shipyards was built according to the construction standards set by the Navy. In large shipyards with strong strength and preliminary preparations, the construction cycle was only 3 months. After the workers mastered the construction skills, they could even shorten the construction period by half. Later, the construction cycle was shortened to 1,000 months, and before the shutdown, about four ships were built. Even if they were built by small shipyards with poor conditions, the initial construction cycle would not exceed 6 months, and the construction cycle would be about 2 months after proficiency.

As an escort warship, it can naturally serve the amphibious fleet

Although some people believe that Ding Si is an anti-submarine warship with low performance built by the Republic Navy for emergency response in the early stages of the war, such as after the emergence of the alternative anti-submarine frigates, the Republic Navy sacrificed about 4 tripods and gave them to the allies for free. Before that, the "Fei Tian, ​​the war-damaged brigade ranked second among the various warships of the Republic Navy, second only to the "Shanghai" class aircraft carrier. Therefore, these people believe that it was precisely because of the serious performance defects that Ding Qu ended his service career in the Republic Navy in advance.

But objectively speaking, in the early stages of the war, Ding Si did not lag behind, at least much better than those anti-submarine ships that were sealed and produced to the allies. From the perspective of combat use, the main reason for the high performance of the battle loss rate of comparison is not the poor performance. It is because they participated in too many key naval battles, that is, they were improperly used. You should know that this is a warship designed for escort of merchant ships, not a warship designed for fleet combat. In the early stages of the war, because the warships that can be mobilized are very limited, and their achievements are often sent to perform fleet combat missions.

From another perspective, behind the relatively large combat loss rate, there is an exchange ratio worthy of attention. According to the data released by the Republic's Navy after the war, the exchange ratio between Xinshu and enemy submarines and the US Navy's broken-transit submarines is even higher. From this, it can be seen that the anti-submarine combat capability will definitely not be much worse. "There are...

In fact, from the huge number of constructions of the master and the construction time that lasted for several years, it can be seen that this is a relatively advanced anti-submarine warship. Of course, in the early days of the war, the main reason for the large-scale cutting of the Republic's Navy was that it lacked enough anti-submarine warships, otherwise it would not have applied for the construction of the powerful ships at one time.

As mentioned earlier, during peacetime. Due to the limitations of the arms control agreement, the Republic's Navy could not use precious tonnage of warships to build too many anti-submarine warships, especially dedicated anti-submarine warships. More importantly, the construction period of anti-submarine warships is the shortest among all types of warships, so there is no need to build large quantities before the war.

Affected by these factors, after the outbreak of the war, the Republic's Navy lacked the most is anti-submarine warships. Especially special anti-submarine warships with advanced performance, capable of comprehensively integrating with the enemy's advanced attack submarines on the ocean, and effectively preventing enemy submarines from sneak attacks.

Not to mention anything else, after the Republic's Navy's Western Pacific Fleet rushed back to Naha, instead of returning to the volcanic seas, or fearing ambushed by US submarines.

This is the case with the main fleet, let alone the amphibious fleet.

The corpse is right

After the war with the United States, the amphibious fleet of the Republic's Navy had never been to the waters east of the Ryukyu Islands. Even the ships transporting supplies to Naha were protected by anti-submarine patrol aircraft throughout the journey.

In short, the Republic's Navy's combat operations to land on the Mariana Islands have been delayed, mainly because the anti-submarine forces have not been in place for a long time.

It was not until the end of March that the second batch of Tun-4 was completed that this problem was slightly alleviated.

Because the construction number is too large, and this kind of warship is not included in the main battleship by the Navy, but is an auxiliary ship used to perform limited combat missions, so the "biscised class has only a number and no name. The number of the former Qin ship is... Among the physical and electrical numbers, the first one "represents escort, and the second one" is the development code of the navy. Therefore, the number of the next generation of anti-submarine frigates should be to steer four opens.

.

Of course, with warships, there must be enough and excellent naval officers and soldiers.

It has to be admitted that the Republic's Navy has indeed done a very good job in war preparations.

As we all know, the Navy is a very professional branch. Especially after the large number of automated equipment was introduced, the number of officers and soldiers on the Republic's naval cruisers has been reduced from the number of people in the reunion year to the people, and the requirements for the quality of the fleet officers and soldiers are getting higher and higher. Therefore, the Navy is a branch without soldiers! Only officers and non-commissioned officers. If there is no threat of war, the Navy will definitely hope that the officers and soldiers will retire after reaching the service limit, because doing so can minimize the cost of personnel training. Of course, the direct disadvantage of doing so is that there is too little talent reserve. Affected by this, the Republic's navy began to "reduce employees" in an orderly manner, first of all, retire officers and soldiers who have reached the minimum service life.

Then, officers and soldiers who have mastered military skills will be transferred to reserve service, and then they will be trained in a cycle of famous months. By the time the war broke out, the talents reserved by the Republic's navy were three times the size of the army. In a sense, if it were not for such a strong reserve of talents, the Republic's navy would not have quickly expanded the fleet after the war broke out. In any case, the Republic is not a navigable country. Moreover, the marine culture has not yet penetrated into the people. It does not have the strong foundation of the US Navy. It can only rely on reasonable and effective military systems and perfect pre-war preparations to make up for this shortcoming. Thus, it has a sufficiently strong naval talent team.

Of course, it is not enough to just cultivate talents.

In order to enable newly built warships to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, when placing construction orders, the Navy adjusted some tactical indicators and clearly required the first batch of earthworms to adopt mature command and control systems, and even the operating platform of the anti-submarine system should be universal with anti-submarine destroyers. The biggest advantage of this is to allow those retired personnel who enlisted in the army and mobilized reserve officers and soldiers to quickly master the warships and drive the ship to sea.

Thanks to modular design and construction technology, this change did not cause much construction work

ring.

According to the mobilization report submitted by the Republic Navy Command to the General Staff, the latest anti-submarine frigates will be able to form combat effectiveness by adding new anti-submarine frigates.

Of course, "Fat Shabu's performance is indeed limited, and there must be problems when performing fleet combat missions.

To this end, the Navy proposed a feasible solution, namely, an anti-submarine destroyer with formation command capabilities and several anti-submarine frigates, and an anti-submarine fleet formed by, or several anti-submarine formations, or accompanied by other fleets to fight, thus forming a comprehensive and effective anti-submarine force. Because the displacement of anti-submarine destroyers is relatively large, it can be more convenient to add a formation command system to obtain the ability to command other warships, so this plan can be implemented quickly and has achieved the effect of seven. In fact, all executioners later performed anti-submarine missions in formation, because the construction speed of anti-submarine destroyers could not keep up with the combat requirements. Moreover, in the rear escort operation, the anti-submarine destroyer with more than four tons of central anti-submarine destroyers was simply a big deal, so the Republic's Navy later improved several batches of fertilizer and added a formation command system to make it a frigate lead.

According to the navy's plan, "By the end of April, seven anti-submarine destroyers formed seven anti-submarine formations and followed the amphibious fleet to participate in the combat operations of attacking the Mariana Islands. Because these anti-submarine destroyers all come from amphibious fleets, they only need to improve and add command systems and do not need to dispatch warships from other fleets. This has another obvious benefit, even if it is easy to command and coordinate.

No matter how you look at it, the seven escort fleets composed of four warships cannot be underestimated.

Although after World War II, no war had such high anti-submarine combat requirements. No war required the formation of a special anti-submarine escort fleet, so there was no anti-submarine combat experience that could be learned from, according to the conclusions drawn from computer simulation analysis, the combat tactics of the anti-submarine escort fleet did not have essentially improved. Accurately… “It is because there is no essential change in the tactical requirements of the anti-submarine escort fleet, and it is still possible to use existing experience.

Theoretically, the struggle between submarines and anti-submarine warships is a struggle of speed. The reason is very simple. At any time, as long as the submarine is targeted by an anti-submarine warship, the probability of escaping is very small. According to the US military's statistical summary of the North Atlantic anti-submarine warship in World War II, as long as it is targeted by an anti-submarine warship, the submarine that surpasses the ladder will be defeated. About Ma's submarine will be sunk by an anti-submarine warship. More importantly, if the submarine can launch an attack smoothly, the anti-submarine warship will become worthless. It can be seen that if the submarine wants to survive, it must escape before being discovered by an anti-submarine warship. Similarly, if the anti-submarine warship wants to win, it will be discovered before the submarine launches an attack. From this, it can be seen that this is a speed competition. See who discovers who first.

Affected by this, the efficiency of anti-submarine combat is proportional to the combat distance.

From this we can see that the protection range of anti-submarine warships is proportional to the square of the distance. Therefore, theoretically, the number of anti-submarine warships and the size of the fleet are not linear, but relatively reduced with the expansion of the fleet. Because the cover range of escort warships is limited, even if the carrier-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft is included, the coverage range of patrol aircraft must be considered. Therefore, it is not that the larger the fleet, the better, but that there is an optimal proportion. According to the conclusions drawn from the computer simulation analysis of the Republic's Navy, a fleet composed of falling merchant ships can maximize the combat efficiency of anti-submarine warships. Of course, this is the standard in a low-intensity combat environment. In a high-intensity combat environment, if the number of anti-submarine warships remains unchanged, the anti-submarine area must be reduced, that is, the fleet size must be reduced.

Of course, this theory does not apply to amphibious fleets.
To be continued...
