Chapter 905 Internal friction
One hundred kilometers away from the Anzeng coastline, battleships from the Tower Republic were escorted by land aviation formations and arranged calmly on the blue ocean.
The warships maintained a speed of 23 knots and were cruised on the sea surface. The anti-aircraft artillery bunches of bullet chains emitted the same color as gold bars under the sunlight. If a cluster of fighter jets of the sea urchin tribe attacked, these anti-aircraft cannon fodders opened fire on the enemy without hesitation.
As for destroyers below the sea, with the assistance of sonar, the air formations that may enter the core area of the fleet have gained air supremacy over the sky. If this huge tonnage warship is put into combat, the invading fleet of the Sea Urchin Clan can be immediately eliminated.
The advantages of aircraft carriers over battleships were demonstrated in actual combat between Japan and the United States during World War II. The battleships of both sides had little effect in naval battles. In fact, it was too dogmatic for the Japanese. The navy inherited the British style and the warships were strategically grasped by conservatives. On earth, the Pacific Ocean is the most suitable battlefield for aircraft carriers to perform.
The aircraft carrier has two major advantages. The first is that the hand length can be used to attack very far away. In the 21st century, the pseudo-government of a certain island province clamored that the central aircraft carrier would not dare to drive over, and would be sunk when it drove over. The absurdity lies in which the ACP will attack with the face. The function of the aircraft carrier is to control a large area of sea areas. Unless the aircraft carrier officers are all primary school students, they will wave the aircraft carrier battle groups to the enemy attack destroyers with the absolute advantage of their own land-based air force missile electronics and the absolute advantage of the number of destroyers.
The second advantage of aircraft carriers is maneuverability. During World War II, Japan frequently could not find the position of the US aircraft carrier battle group. If Japan had spy satellites at that time and the battleship cluster had completed informatization and chased the aircraft carrier position, it would not have become the end of the Pillar Island fleet. The US fleet has been maneuvering in the Pacific Ocean, making the enemy unable to locate.
The Pacific Ocean provides a huge maneuverable environment for aircraft carriers. If the combat mission is to compete for a large Pacific ocean, when building an aircraft carrier, the maneuverability of the aircraft carrier must be considered. A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with twice the cost of a conventionally powered aircraft carrier is an inevitable choice. It is unlimited to maintain high speed and racing on the ocean.
If the defense nature is just within a narrow island chain, it offsets the opponent's advantages and uses the huge tonnage of conventional power aircraft carriers to carry enough fuel. The less wide battlefield allows you to race, and you can return to your own port with a good aerospace electromagnetic defense system to replenish fuel at any time. Don't race the nuclear reactors in the ocean.
With that thing, building two conventional-powered aircraft carriers can help curb two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers from entering the coastline of East Asia. Finally, the war will be dragged into the World War II mode of competing for industrial output. Quasi-modular shipbuilding explodes the sea of aircraft carriers.
However, now, no matter whether it is a long hand or a maneuverable battlefield, this world does not meet the conditions for aircraft carriers to kill in a special way. First of all, the star gate of the Sea Urchin Clan is too close to the Iron Tower Star Coastline. In fact, judging by the dense distribution of the star gates on the Iron Tower planet, there is no safe ending point for aircraft carriers, and they are all within the coverage of land aviation.
Star Gate is a must-be defended place for the supply route. The aircraft carrier cannot give up its defense here. A few hundred kilometers away, the battleship cluster can arrive in just one day. The rough-skinned battleship can kill the sea urchin's surface warships, and then occupy the water surface advantage. Using the advantage above the sea surface, the aircraft can pass through the deep-water bombs and destroy enemy units under the sea.
Perhaps even the Sea Urchin Clan believed that the star gate was not opened well enough, and did not intend to invest a large amount of troops in this star gate to only conduct a restraining battle against the Iron Tower Republic, and was preparing to seize other marine planets.
However, the actual situation is very special. The fleet of the Sea Urchin Clan has been here, attacking chemical weapons on surrounding coastal cities for more than fifty days. There seem to be many fleets participating in combat against the Sea Urchin Clan outside the sea, but almost half of them are cruising next to them. They only guard their own sea area to defend air defense, and even this kind of cruise is regular. After finding the rules, the air force of the Sea Urchin Clan even flew through the gaps and ignored these fleets. The surrounding coastal cities were biochemically washed.
The army failed to protect the rear. Perhaps such a huge fleet did not want to protect this coastline. Because the political label of Angcheng is the Sky Guild. The coastline where Angcheng is located is within the economic radiation range of the Sky Guild. Therefore, the military is not active in fighting here. Another reason is that a serious incident occurred during the war.
It was a small battle. An army of the Iron Tower Republic was surrounded by ten times the enemy troops on land. In this case, the troops belonging to the president launched a nuclear bombing, destroying all the enemy and friendly forces ten times the enemy. However, the destroyed friendly forces led the military to start a nuclear bombing. The cabinet government headed by Han Tianwang, so the problem arose.
There is nothing new under the sunshine. Ren Di's situation in the escape battle of the Star Ring Plan also appears here. From a tactical point of view, the biggest loss is avoided. But the problem is that the price of your big strategy is supported by others, and the small tactics is desperately taking care of yourself and ignoring others too much. There are too many fools in this world. There are too many people who want to control others as fools.
This kind of thing also happened in the Iron Tower Republic. Since the last military coup, the balance of rights in the Iron Tower Republic has been destroyed. As a government in a military coup, the Skyconsecution occupied part of the rights that originally belonged to the military. There were originally cracks in the army, and that time the nuclear weapons that were led by the president washed away the troops of military generals. It directly led to the expansion of the cracks. Don't expect the republican elders to obey the overall situation when their interests are damaged. The values dominated by the elders and the values of the nation-state are different, so the country does not need to exist if the country does not take care of me.
In the new capital city of the Tower Planet, the new presidential cabinet members were holding documents one by one, looking through the battle situation documents, economic allocation information, and the latest weapons on the battlefield in the conference hall. Their President Han Tianwang was looking at the slowly rotating tower globe.
On the globe, a total of 63 star gates appeared on the Iron Tower Republic, and the area where the star gates were located was unprecedentedly damaged. The attacks of chemical weapons and biological weapons were extremely harmful to the city. Judging from the globe map, a large red-shrouded coastal areas and island cities represent that the cities belonging to their own political groups have been greatly damaged.
Han Tianwang looked at the planet with a very solemn eyes. At this time, a young man with greasy hair in a white dress said, "President, the documents for the removal of twenty-seven generals have been prepared."
Han Tianwang nodded and said, "Let me go first." The young man said, "President, I think these people who were dereliction of duty during the war should be captured immediately."
Han Tianwang slowly turned his head, faced the young man with an expression of invisible joy and anger, and said, "Then what." The young man said, "Please plan a new military commander."
"Haha" Han Tianwang smiled, then stretched out his hand and slapped the young man in the face. He said, "Be smart." The young man covered his face and stepped back to the side. The young man was Han Tianwang's son. However, Han Tianwang is very disappointed with his son and his group of people. He gave orders to let nuclear weapons complete the level of victory in that battle, and it was these princelings.
The one-to-ten exchange was actually not a big deal. After the incident, Han Tianwang, the most political veteran, thought of the serious consequences of this incident.
The cabinet immediately formulated a plan to commend the military forces that restrained a large number of enemy troops and then died under the nuclear explosion, and to quell the incident with a large amount of military equipment, personnel, and economic compensation.
However, the military did not accept Han Tianwang's handling, but put forward its own political demands based on this. That is, the cabinet delegates the right to use nuclear weapons to the military. Otherwise, the military has the right to refuse some combat tasks. This is a naked way to take advantage of the issue.
Of course, Han Tianwang could not win the use of nuclear weapons required by the military. In order to ensure nuclear hegemony, the Tianjianghui specially established a force in charge of the use of nuclear bombs, and handed it over to the trusted direct descendants of the Han family. Of course, the trusted direct descendants finally used nuclear weapons to complete the attacks that both the enemy and us were within the range of killing. It gave the military an excuse for passive combat. It gave military warships to fight soy sauce on the sea surface, put the sea urchin tribe carrier-based aircraft to bomb the Tianjianghui and the cities with the Tianjianghui alliance forces.
Losing an army under a nuclear explosion is actually nothing to the military. A combat decision by the senior military may make hundreds of thousands of troops as cannon fodder. Now, being so petty about the army that died of a nuclear explosion is actually a political attack. And Angcheng, who has suffered a serious chemical weapons attack, is a victim of the high-level tug-of-war.
The president's nuclear weapons have exploded on the sea for many times, but with the uncooperation of the military, the star gates on the local area have not been closed at all. The losses caused are very serious.
Now the cabinet led by the Tianjiang Association is really useless to deal with the military's behavior. First of all, the military expenditure is not dared to stop. If it stops, the incident will worsen further. It is nothing to worsen during peacetime. Now it is wartime. Important members of the military dare not dismiss, and it is useless to dismiss the army. Those people still control the army. They use several tragic defeats to weaken the prestige of the Tianjiang Association for the dismissal order.
The reckless actions of Han Tianwang's son, the young and strong sect, were just the fuse of the fierce internal friction now. As the president of this cabinet, Han Tianwang heard the smell of the enemy. Now the military is not compromising, it is obvious that he wants to be an enemy.
