Chapter 518 Montana and Midway have to have
I adjusted the timeline and at least I could get up in the morning. I never thought that Yamato was a completely default ship.
At first I thought it was a new warship with a standard 35,000 rank, three triple-mounted 16-inch main gun, and 28 knots of speed.
The secret of the footbow chicken is very good. Even the data given to Sandezi is fake, and even the data marked by itself is fake. The main gun is three triple-mounted 40-centimeter cannons.
The key message with this data was intercepted by the Bald Eagle again, and it was intercepted twice, one from Sandezi and the other from the sled chicken itself.
Therefore, for most of the time during World War II, the Bald Eagle always believed that Yamato and Musashi were at most 45,000 tons, three triple-mounted 40-centimeter cannons.
Starting from Midway Island, some of the captives of the bald eagle have successively captured. The captives have repeatedly reported the platoons they built, with more than 50,000 tons to more than 57,000 tons, and the main guns are about 45 cm or 18 inches, which are the largest and most powerful battleships in history.
This also includes soldiers who have served on Yamato and Musashi, and similar data and very detailed situation descriptions are provided.
But the Bald Eagle intelligence department always believes that these are all "unreliable sources of information" and are "obviously exaggerated".
To put it bluntly, the bald eagle thinks that the big-headed soldiers with the foot basin chicken are bragging, because many big-headed soldiers with the foot basin chicken will brag intentionally or unintentionally to confuse the real information.
Some prisoners claimed that 10 new battleships and cruisers had been built in 43 years. He said that these ships could reach a speed of 47 knots, including the Yamato.
Therefore, the Bald Eagle always believes that the official data of the foot basin and Sandezi they intercepted should be more reliable than the bragging of these prisoners.
So until Musashi was dried up, they finally figured out that the Yamato-class is indeed more than 60,000 tons, and a super battleship using an 18-inch main gun.
It is ironic to say that the leopard chicken works so hard to keep it confidential and it is indeed very successful, so that the bald eagle does not pay too much attention to Yamato from beginning to end.
In the end, there was no pressure to send Yamato to the bottom of the sea.
"I only realized that she was really strong when I beat her to death. I underestimated her before, but fortunately I was better off..."
This is probably the situation of the bald eagle at that time.
But now, since we know the situation of Yamato in advance and have a demand for battleships, we naturally need to design the position, preferably suppressing it.
There must be at least 9 18-inch guns, and they must be able to start production quickly, and they also require the construction to be completed as soon as possible. This is obviously impossible to redesign anything, and they can only be pieced together with existing solutions, technologies, and drawings.
Fortunately, the relevant basic research and testing were done before the Navy Treaty, and there was an early 18-inch naval gun design plan.
When the time came 38 years and the tonnage of the battleship was relaxed to 45,000 tons, the low-speed battleship with 9 18-inch guns was designed, which was actually the same plan for Iowa.
A triple turret with a diameter of 18 inches and 48 times was formed. Each turret weighed 2,200 tons, a shell weighed 3,200 pounds (1,451 kg), and a range of 40 kilometers at a 45-degree elevation angle.
After Pearl Harbor, the designers also completed the design plan of the 60,000-ton Montana-class battleship, and there are multiple levels to choose from.
So what we need to do now is to combine and optimize the most preferred items of the Montana solution, and simply optimize the triple 18-inch naval gun and install it.
It is unrealistic to crush the opponent in the caliber of the main gun and complete the 20-inch main gun in a short period of time. It is too late to continue to optimize the MKA main gun, and it can only ensure the basic parameters while stacking the number.
Based on such a foundation and direction, the designers quickly completed the design.
The main parameters are 63,000 tons of standard row, 75,000 tons of full load, four 18-inch and 48-diameter triple turrets, the main armor thickness is 16-inch, horizontal armor 8-inch, power output is 212,000 horsepower, and maximum speed is 28 knots.
The design plan was quickly approved, and the order quantity was increased to six, and two ships would be started in August 1942, and two more ships would be started before the end of the year.
Because according to current news, at least one Yamato-class ship has been in service and one is about to be in service, and there may be some in the future, so Montana cannot be fewer than Yamato.
The last two Montanas and the last two Iowa ships will start construction after the dock is expanded or Essex launches to make room for construction, and the time node will be set before June 1943.
These battleships will inevitably occupy the budget and resources of the aircraft carrier, as well as the most important large docks, so the relevant projects of the aircraft carrier must be reduced accordingly.
At the same time, aircraft carrier-related design and construction projects must also be modified.
To improve the deck's defense, to carry more aircraft, the aircraft carrier hull must also be enlarged accordingly, and they are all the experiences they have summarized in history.
The summary of this experience is Midway Island.
The Midway Island in history was registered and named in August 1942 and started construction at the Newport News Shipyard on October 27, 2019.
Now the time is ahead again.
7 of the 13 Essex ships ordered in 2019 to 2019 have not yet started construction, and 5 of them have been cancelled directly.
Then orders for eight Midway Island were added, and at least four were required to start construction by the end of 42 years.
This actually occupied the 10 Essex order resources ordered in August 1942 in history. The total number of Essex ships provided in fiscal years 1943 and 1944 in history was actually transferred to the two Iowa and Montana.
The final order for the main aircraft carrier is the eight Essexes that are under construction and about to start construction, plus the eight newly designed and ordered Midway Island.
The total number of new large aircraft carriers is 16, which is less than the historical Essex that has placed 32 orders and completed 24.
Although the Bald Eagle's senior management did not know the original history, they instinctively felt that it was not enough based on the current situation.
It’s just that the dock and resource roads have reached their limits, and the construction speed of larger Midways may be slower, so they can only make their minds onto the boat.
The independent class, which is the Cleveland class light patrol-renovated aircraft carrier, now has 9 orders under construction, and they decisively added 5 more orders to reach 16.
In this way, each main aircraft carrier corresponds to a light aircraft carrier, which can cooperate with each other in pairs.
The main reason is that the independent class is the hull of a cruiser, which will not occupy the large docks of large capital ships. At the same time, the number of aircraft carriers being built can be increased, and the emergency can be completed in advance.
But no matter how you consider it or discuss it, no one mentioned the question of whether to negotiate peace with the squat chicken.
Not only because we have signed an agreement with allies before, no country is allowed to negotiate peace with the axis alone, but also because the Bald Eagle knows that he will win in the end. The question is just how much the final price will be paid.
There is another potential reason, that is, as white Westerners, they don’t remember being completely defeated by the yellow people in the East.
So far, they still cannot accept it in their subconscious minds. They will be completely defeated by the yellow people and give up on such a thing in a war around the world.
To make them completely reverse this point, even if the foot-basin chicken completely occupy Australia or even massacre all the Australians, it is impossible to do it completely.
In fact, even if the foot-baked chicken can land on the Bald Eagle's land, it may not be possible to achieve this.
Because the Bald Eagle is a country composed of gun mobs, even if federal forces are defeated, security wars will make any occupier desperate.
The Daying Empire is easier to occupy than the Bald Eagle, and this goal is far beyond the limit of the ability of the foot-baked chicken.
Under the current circumstances, the matter of bowing to the squat chicken to discuss peace is not within the scope of the bald eagle's consideration, so the squat chicken is destined to be disappointed.
At the same time, the squat chickens successively captured and occupied Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Fiji, Samoa, and completely occupied the southwestern Pacific.
The base camp has already celebrated and is preparing to consider how to negotiate with the Bald Eagle, discussing the position of the negotiation, representatives, bottom line, etc., and even starting to plan how to write an announcement.
But the Bald Eagle had no reaction at all. Not only did they have no intention of contacting here at all, they also quickly delivered a speech and mobilization to fight to the end.
If the chicken with footbath can consider it rationally and after confirming that the direction of the plan may be completely wrong, it will feel like it is poured into cold water on the head.
Then I think of Britain's reaction after France's surrender, the reaction of the Sea Lion Plan and the Battle of Britain, and consider the situation where the Bald Eagle is really hard to the end.
Finally, find ways to change the strategy and reverse the current situation, even if you take the initiative to give up some occupied areas, shrink the defense line, and digest the materials in the occupied areas.
However, the brain circuit of the footbowel chicken is unique. Master Luo fought to the death and gave speeches and mobilized the footbowel chicken army very strangely.
They quickly made an unanimous decision to conduct a larger and more thorough mobilization, requiring all men aged 15 to 60 to join the army.
They want to teach the bald eagle a lesson and prepare to seize the Australian continent with all their might as well as put pressure on the bald eagle.
"Bald Eagle, if you don't negotiate peace with me, I will go to fight Tuo O, until you take the initiative to negotiate peace!"
Because now the foot-basin chicken is unable to attack Pearl Harbor and even less able to occupy Hawaii, the logistics cannot keep up, and a simple attack will be difficult to cause enough damage when it loses its suddenness.
While accumulating strength, the Bald Eagle stepped up the strengthening of the Hawaii defense line, sent more troops and aircraft to Hawaii, and let aircraft carriers start repairs directly in Hawaii, and send aircraft over with Long Island and transport ships. Let Colorado, Washington, South Dakota and other active battleships come as soon as possible.
