The standards of the US Navy Air Force are similar. After a pilot graduates from aviation school, he needs a clam to be recognized. Although the fierce battle can make the pilot "mature" faster and his old practical experience can also be used by novices. However, according to the standards of World War II, novices need to survive on the battlefield at least in order to become old birds.

For the Republic Navy and the US Navy, providing pilots is not a problem because there are sufficient reserves.

The key is that the huge death rate makes it more difficult to train excellent pilots. Without enough excellent pilots, the combat efficiency of the aviation force will definitely be greatly reduced, and the combat loss rate will also be improved, which will form a vicious cycle, which will eventually lead to the aviation force becoming a decoration. You must know that in the late World War II, Germany and Japan both lacked excellent pilots, thus making thousands of fighter jets a decoration.

From another perspective, the amazing consumption of the air force is also a factor in the elimination of the aircraft carrier.

Bar.

In any case, the cost of raising a pilot is definitely much higher than raising a seaman.

Of course, this does not mean that the aviation force has permanently left the battlefield.

During the Third World War, the importance of the aviation force was not affected by huge losses, especially in the middle and late stages of the war. As various fighter jets designed according to new tactics were put into combat, the status of the aviation force was generally improved and became the most important combat force. From the perspective of the marine battlefield, aircraft carriers were only the carrier platform of the aviation force and did not have uniqueness. As an offensive platform, aircraft carriers were doubted by the mother man, but as a support platform, the maritime bases allowed the aviation force to usher in the second spring. Judging from the popularity of maritime bases in the middle and late stages of the war, aviation forces were not only not bystanders of the marine battlefield, but also major participants.

In fact, until the Battle of Mariana, the Republic Navy and the United States Navy were exploring

Enter.

This kind of exploration also exists on the ground battlefield. It is just not as prominent as the ocean battlefield.

For both sides of the war, the Mariana naval battle was definitely not a sign of a rest, but a sign of a sign of a pause. Although after this naval battle, both sides temporarily suspended large-scale offensive operations, and the Republic's Navy even retreated its fleet to the East China Sea west of the Ryukyu Islands, everyone knew that the battle for the Beggar Riana Group and Uk was not over. And it would definitely not end until a result that was clear that there was no dispute. Both sides stopped, not because they were afraid or retreating, but because they were preparing for the next battle.

Of course, these preparations are not invisible or intangible.

For the Republic Navy, starting from the late month, after the Marines consolidated the defense of Saipan, they began to assist the Marines in sweeping the islands north of Saipan, especially those with US troops stationed and relatively large areas. At the same time, the Marines also sent a large-scale engineering force to Saipan to start restoring military facilities. The first thing they repaired was not defensive military facilities, but facilities that mainly serve attacks, such as the city of Saipan.

Airport. In order to speed up the construction progress, the Marine Corps also requisitioned dozens of fast cargo ships, forming two fleets dedicated to transporting engineering materials and equipment, and also requisitioned several sets of dock loading and unloading equipment, which increased the throughput capacity of Saipan Port several times. According to the Marine Corps' plan, before the northbound mobilization operation is completed, Saipan will become the central base of the Marine Corps in the Western Pacific, not only to attack Guam, but also to enter the Hawaiian Islands in the future.

The US military will definitely not let it go.

The dozens of small-scale naval battles fought by the navy of the Mariana Group and Ukraine were mostly caused by the US Navy to harass Saipan, and the Republic's Navy actively defended. Of course, while harassing Saipan, the US Navy was also desperately transporting combat supplies to Guam and Tinian Island. If the density of troops on these two islands was already scary and it was meaningless to continue to send combat troops, more American soldiers would probably have boarded the two islands. Similarly, in order to prevent the US military from strengthening the defense intensity between Guam and Tinian Island, the Republic's Navy also retaliated for tooth. Had small fleets harassed and allowed Marines on Saipan to be bombarded regularly.

In short, for several months, both sides were consuming excessive energy and expensive ammunition.

Mo Yong doubts that these are all superficial

From a global perspective, the battle between the two sides in the Mariana Islands is actually for one purpose, that is, to win time for another attack. To be precise, to build a brand new naval fleet and to win time for the battlefield control and sea power in one fell swoop.

It can be said that when the officers and soldiers on both sides were confused when they fought on the front line, their decisions were not confused at all.

More importantly, the shipbuilders on both sides were not over-energy, but were overwhelmed by the heavy construction tasks.

Similarly, in these months, intelligence agencies of both sides, especially those who entered each other before the war and lurked, were also running around for the key intelligence.

Everything is moving towards the same goal. That is the supernats of the two superpowers in the Pacific Ocean, and even the first decisive naval battle in the entire World War III.

At the end of the year of the island, as a huge fleet that could not be linked to the "fleet" sailed out of Huang Zeyang and headed to Naha Port opposite the East China Sea, the Pacific Ocean, which had been calm for several months, boiled again.

Just a few days later, four of them were on the 2nd of the month. A fleet with the same strange appearance passed through the Panama Canal and entered the vast Pacific Ocean.
