“Although the capital ship is a well-deserved workhorse in this world war. But I believe that with the advancement of science and technology, especially the continuous development of aviation technology. Then, in the next world war, capital ships will inevitably be reduced to a supporting role. And the main force of naval warfare in the next world war will be the combination of aircraft carriers and carrier-based fighters that I mentioned earlier.
The empire is currently at the forefront of the world in the field of aviation. Therefore, the empire actually has a great advantage in this field. Next, the Imperial Air Force will further develop fighters and strive to further improve its superiority.
The Imperial Navy, too, cannot stand on its laurels, and can also carry out research and development in this regard.
Perhaps, in the era of large ships and huge guns, it is difficult to defeat the sun does not set, as well as other maritime powers. However, if we can quickly grasp the advantage after the “893” generation when entering the aircraft carrier. Then we can have a greater advantage. It is not impossible to replace the sun and never set, suppress other naval powers, and become the new maritime hegemon or even the world hegemon.
Next, aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft will become the key development direction of the Imperial Navy. We can carry out research in this area in the Black Sea. The whole process must be highly confidential. ”
Mikhail said to Marshal Alexander and Admiral Alekseev with a serious look.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Marshal Alexander and Admiral Alekseev answered.
Now the Black Sea has almost completely become the internal sea of the Russian Empire. To the north, east and west of the Black Sea, were the territories of the Russian Empire. The Ottoman Empire to the south was already a servant state of the Russian Empire. So, the entire Black Sea was under the control of the Russian Empire. If the Russian Empire did not agree, other countries would not even have access to the Black Sea.
Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly very suitable for the Tsarist Imperial Navy to develop aircraft carriers here.
After the successful development, it is enough to build aircraft carriers at shipyards in the Black Sea, Murmansk and the Far East, respectively, and join these fleets.
As for the Baltic Fleet, I’m afraid it will not be possible to enter service with aircraft carriers. After all, the Baltic Fleet is too small. The deployment of aircraft carriers here is simply not necessary. This is completely within the strike radius of land-based fighters!
The aircraft carriers of the future Imperial Russian Navy will be mainly equipped with the Black Sea Fleet, Pacific Fleet and Northern Fleet. And this will also become the real main force of the Imperial Russian Navy in the future.
The Imperial Russian Navy, that’s all for the next.
Mikhail does not want the Navy to devote a lot of resources to capital ships. That, after all, is something that will soon become obsolete.
Besides, capital ships tend to be more expensive than aircraft carriers. And in the war, the combat power is inferior to the aircraft carrier. There is really no need to waste this money!
After all, the Russian Empire was not too rich in the first place.
Don’t you see another time and space, the battleships Yamato and Musashi of the Toyo, the carrier-based aircraft of the Lighthouse Country have been killed? It is really not cost-effective to spend so much money to build a capital ship!
Of course, this also means that after making such a choice, the Russian Imperial Navy will not be able to do whatever it wants for a long time. It is even more impossible to challenge the Royal Navy of the Empire and the Navy of the Lighthouse Nation. If you want to become a sea hegemon, you have to climb for a long time.
Just before Christmas 1817, Tsar Mikhail summoned the Air Force Director, General Ilarionovich.
In view of the performance of the Russian Imperial Air Force in the war, Admiral Irarionovich also made great achievements and was promoted from lieutenant general to general.
Of course, if you want to be promoted to marshal, it is not much worse. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
However, if General Ilarionovich can complete the tasks assigned by Mikhail in the next ten years, Mikhail will not skimp on the marshal scepter.
“Your Excellency General, the Imperial Air Force performed very well in this battle. This proves that our efforts over the years have not been in vain. Mikhail said.
“Your Majesty, this is all your wise guidance. Otherwise, the Imperial Air Force would not have achieved what it is now. Admiral Irarionovich replied.
Mikhail nodded, and then continued: “Although the Imperial Air Force is in the forefront of the world in terms of combat power, tactics, and aircraft performance, we have to admit that other countries are also developing very fast. The Sun Never Sets Empire, the Gallic State and even the collapsed Germanic Empire developed rapidly in terms of aviation power.
Originally, we could have hoisted other countries’ Swan -12 fighters and Ilya Muromets heavy bombers, but in terms of performance, there was no longer any advantage.
The development of aviation power is originally a process of sailing against the tide, and if it does not advance, it will retreat. Therefore, we must increase the speed of development of the Air Force, and the empire will also increase its investment in the Air Force! ”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Admiral Irarionovich nodded.
“The Imperial Army will be massively disarmed, but the Imperial Air Force will not only not disarm this time, but will gradually grow. Not only will the Air Force increase in size, but most importantly, the Imperial Air Force will serve more advanced fighters and bombers. This is undoubtedly the most important. This world war is over. But it is foreseeable that it will not be long before a more brutal world war breaks out in twenty years. At that time, the air force will become the main force on the battlefield.
So I hope that the Imperial Air Force can seize this time and develop more powerfully. In this way, it will be possible to fight for greater advantages for the empire in future wars. Even, help the empire to achieve the maximum victory at a minimum cost of 5.7! ”
Mikhail still had great expectations for the development of the Russian Imperial Air Force.
“Your Majesty, the latest MiG-16 fighter of the Imperial Air Force is about to complete its test flight and will soon be put into mass production. As for bombers, the Tu-17 bomber has also begun test flights. The performance of these two fighters has been improved compared with the previous Swan -12 fighters and Ilya Muromets heavy bombers of the Imperial Air Force.
At the same time, the Imperial Air Force is also constantly developing new models to ensure that the Imperial Air Force can constantly make breakthroughs in the performance of fighters, and will definitely not live up to His Majesty’s expectations of us! ”
General Ilarionovich replied.
