Hiranuma Kiichiro frowned and interrupted: "But Your Majesty, no matter how many planes the empire has, I'm afraid they won't be able to fly to the Pacific Ocean, because our planes can't land on the sea! Isn't it?"
As the Minister of Finance, Hiranuma Kiichiro is more disgusted with Hirohito's style.
Because this means that the Ministry of Finance needs to invest astronomical amounts of money.
Hirohito was not annoyed. He turned around and asked, "Yamaguchi-kun? Where is Yamaguchi-kun?"
Yamaguchi Dawen, who was at the bottom of the table, quickly knelt down and stood up: "Your Majesty, I am here."
"Why are you sitting at the door? Come here and sit in front." Hirohito waved.
Yamaguchi Tawen had no choice but to get up and walk to the front. At Hirohito's signal, he sat down on the seat next to him.
Hirohito smiled and nodded, and then said: "Yamaguchi-kun, explain your research results to everyone in detail, so that they know what a real naval battle is."
Yamaguchi Duowen paused and responded: "Hai."
"I believe that future naval battles will move from the age of cannons and giant ships to the age of aviation!"
"I would like to ask you a question, how much does a Yamato-class battleship cost?"
"Yes, that's right, the cost of a Yamato-class battleship is as high as 170 million yen!"
"So how much does a fighter jet cost? The cost of a Type 96 carrier-based dive bomber is only 250,000 yen!"
"One Yamato battleship can build 700 Type 96 carrier-based dive bombers!"
"That is to say, exchanging 500 Type 96 carrier-based dive bombers for one Yamato battleship is a very cost-effective war cost-effectiveness ratio!"
"What's more, to destroy a battleship in actual combat, you don't need so many bombers at all."
"A battleship of 50,000 tons or even 100,000 tons, no matter how thick its armor is, cannot withstand the dive bombing of a few Type 96 carrier-based bombers!"
"In this regard, our 2nd Air Force has conducted experiments."
"Without interference from enemy aviation, only ten sorties of Type 96 carrier-based bombers are enough to destroy a 50,000-ton battleship!"
"The anti-aircraft firepower on the battleships is simply not enough to counterattack the aviation forces."
"Faced with dive bombing by fighter planes, the battleship has no other choice but to wait for it to sink."
At this time, Fushimi Miyahiko lost no time in asking: "Yamaguchi-kun, I want to ask a question."
"Hai." Yamaguchi Duowen quickly bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Excuse me, Your Highness."
Fushimi Gong Hirokyo tilted his head slightly and said: "The Pacific Ocean is more than tens of thousands of kilometers wide, and the Type 96 carrier-based dive bomber cannot fly that far. Moreover, the ocean is vast and boundless, even if an entire fleet is in the ocean Patrolling, but it¡¯s extremely difficult to find it, so how can we solve these problems?¡±
"Hai." Yamaguchi Duowen said respectfully, "These are the other two questions I want to talk about."
"Let's talk about the range of the bomber first. You are right. Even the Type 96 long-range land bomber has a range of only 5,000 kilometers, and the combat radius is only more than 2,000 kilometers! This range, not to mention covering the Pacific Ocean, even Even covering Southeast Asian waters is far from enough.¡±
"So, how to solve the shortcomings of the voyage?"
"The answer is aircraft carrier! Aircraft carrier is a mobile maritime airport."
¡°With a huge aircraft carrier fleet, we can deploy a huge fleet to any corner of the Pacific, including Midway Island, Hawaii Island, and even the West Coast of the United States!¡±
"Another problem is how to find the enemy's fleet, especially aircraft."
"If you can't find the enemy's fleet, it will be very troublesome, because enemy bombers can also pose a fatal threat to the empire's fleet!"
"If early warning cannot be provided in advance, the empire's naval fleet may be suddenly attacked by a group of enemy bombers. In this case, even if it has an absolutely superior fleet and aviation force, it is still possible because the fighter planes cannot take off in time. Suffered unprecedented defeat!"
"But fortunately, there is a perfect solution for this."
"The solution is radar. Through radar search, enemy bomber groups can be discovered in advance!"
"And if the radar is installed on the aircraft, it can even detect the enemy fleet in the vast ocean in advance by scanning from a high altitude!"
YuRendao: "Yamaguchi-kun, do you have more detailed information?"
"Hai." Yamaguchi said respectfully after a pause, "I have specifically looked for information in this regard. Currently, the United Kingdom has established a local radar chain on the British island. If one day the British island is attacked by the enemy's air force, This indigenous radar chain should play a pivotal role.¡±
"Yo Xi." Hirohito said happily, "This information is very important. Please convey it to the head of state immediately."
"Hai." Yamaguchi said after a while, "Another one, regarding the research on airborne radar, a man named Edward Bowen has also done research. He developed a small radar and put it into use. With the radar installed on the aircraft, this modified Ansang aircraft can detect large water targets at least sixteen kilometers away!"
"Only sixteen kilometers?" Konoe Fumiro said suddenly, "What's the use of being so close?"
"This is just a preliminary result." Yamaguchi Tatami said, "If the imperial R&D department can intervene in the research, it is completely possible to develop a smaller radar with a longer detection range, and it can also provide a larger and more reliable flying platform. The detection range of airborne radar will be far more than sixteen kilometers."
"Yo Xi." Hirohito turned his attention to the chief of the equipment department and said, "Hurry up and handle this matter."
"Hai." The chief of the equipment department quickly knelt down and stood up and nodded. The emperor had said so, what else could he do? I can only do it with all my strength!
After a pause, Hirohito continued: "Going back to the question just now, some people questioned that the Empire does not have new technological equipment that can influence the Pacific War. This is wrong! Let me tell you now, the Empire really Yes, this new type of technical equipment is the 'Zero Fighter'."
¡°As early as half a year ago, the new fighter jet developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries completed its first flight.¡±
"After half a year of perfection and improvement, this new fighter jet has now been completely finalized and mass production has begun. Soon, this fighter jet will be equipped with the navy!"
¡°I have one more decision to announce here.¡±
"The existence of the battleship Yamato is no longer necessary."
¡°From now on, the battleship Yamato will be converted into an aircraft carrier!¡±
"Together with the Yamato battleship, there will be eight battleships including Ise and Hyuga that will be refitted! The era of big cannon ships has come to an end, and the future oceans belong to aircraft carriers!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel .com - Didn't finish reading?
