Blackstone Code Chapter 1503: Fake news!
Remember 【New】for a second,! At present, almost all countries in the world are avoiding as much as possible the landing plan with no way out in terms of strategy and tactics.
Because of the plane.
The combat radius of the aircraft is simply too large, and it's not just the combat radius, but their firepower.
With the fortifications on the shore, the landing operation is a nightmare for any country!
The tidal flats will be turned into meat grinders, and cannon fire and bullets will tear all weak humans to shreds!
Because of the use of aircraft in warfare, the shape of warfare has changed.
Aircraft, both for the Army and for the Navy, are so important!
While the Commonwealths, Gafras and Pengios were all studying torpedoes from ships, the decisive factor in the final outcome of naval battles had shifted from battleships to aircraft.
When a large number of Pengios sea fortresses come into service, when they meet with Gefra's Armada, what to do with them?
This question has silenced everyone, including Admiral Gavra, because he really... doesn't know how to answer it!
There is no way!
He wanted to say so!
According to the information they have obtained from Pongio, Pongio's navy has stopped all battleship construction plans and is fully producing destroyers and sea fortresses.
And they have built a large production line of aircraft, and many aircraft are assembled and tested every day and are in combat readiness.
It is said that the Pengio Empire has trained no less than 5,000 pilots so far. In their plan, before the war begins, at least 25,000 pilots must be trained.
In the middle of the war, the number of active pilots was maintained at no less than 30,000 at any time and place to ensure that their attack side would not be broken due to the lack of pilots.
They've put all their weight on the plane!
It is conceivable that this huge empire may become the next country with the most aircraft and pilots, not to mention not only Pengio, but also its allies?
Maybe in the future, over the ocean, the sun will be blocked by swarms of planes, casting shadows everywhere!
Everyone is also an "empire", but an empire and an empire are different!
The Prime Minister took off his glasses and sighed heavily. He closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling exhausted.
The domestic aristocrats have not been completely honest. The seemingly docile new emperor is secretly making small moves with the Privy Council. The governor of Amelia often selectively ignores the island's orders. The new generation of nobles Does the empire have any sense of belonging...
And now, their enemies are getting stronger and stronger, leaving him with a dazed sense of where the future lies.
Why are Pengios united?
Why are they able to have a vast land and population?
Why is it so easy for them to want to do anything, but Gavra is harder than eating shit?
Why...
Too many whys!
Not fair at all!
The former Gevra could still find a little advantage in naval battles, at least the Pengios would have to pay a heavy price if they wanted to cross the sea to fight!
The invincible fleet can block their coastlines at any time, and naturally they can sink all those landing ships to the bottom, bringing those people with them!
But now, airplanes have changed that, and it's clear to everyone that airplanes have an increasing impact on warfare.
It's cheap. .
Hundreds of thousands.
The cost of training a pilot is not high, as long as you have enough planes and enough fuel to keep them flying.
Even a not-so-smart person can master the skill of flying!
In this era before some fighter combat tactics have been extended, the requirements of fighter pilots are actually not as high as anyone thinks.
You just need to get the plane off the runway and know how to hover, how to dive, how to pull up and finally how to land in the air.
Like some non-dive bomber pilots, the training cost is lower, they just need to let the plane fly, then maintain a certain altitude, let the bombardier drop the bomb, and then go back!
It is these cheap weapons of war, but they can pose a terrible threat to the only navy that Gaevra can handle.
Sometimes the Prime Minister will sigh, how unfair fate is and how unreasonable God is!
The dreary meeting did not discuss the outcome at the end. The only thing the Prime Minister can ask is to study some anti-aircraft weapons more quickly, at least to ensure that these aircraft cannot easily cause too much damage to their fleet.
In addition, they also began to reconsider the plan of the sea fortress. If the Pengios can build it, they may not be able to build it.
When it comes to shipbuilding, Gefra is an expert!
Incidentally, of course, the Prime Minister also requested that this information be sent to the Commonwealth, along with some information they had obtained themselves.
Although the Prime Minister and Ministers are reluctant to admit this, they have to admit that now the World Development Council, half the world, is revolving around the Federation.
Since they want to occupy a more important position in the international community and have more influence, let them take on a heavier responsibility!
After the information was gathered in the Federal Ministry of Defense, the Federal Ministry of Defense also attached great importance to it, and immediately held a high-level meeting.
However, the atmosphere of this meeting was much more relaxed than the dullness of Gavra's.
"These are not a threat to us!"
It's the senior officers of the strategic command that speak, and the generals are sometimes...just the one who makes the choices and decisions, and it's these officers who really do the work.
You can't ask an old general in his 50s or 60s to know everything well enough to be responsible enough to make good enough judgments in war.
So when the officer stood up to answer Mr. President's question, everyone was looking at him to see how he explained it.
The senior young officer walked to a projector. He took a projection card and inserted it into the projector. Some photos and pictures appeared on the screen behind him.
"First of all, the Ministry of Defense's 'Midway' plan has been basically completed. We have controlled fifty-seven important islands in the Eastern Ocean and built fortifications on them."
"These islands were built as 'nails' in the eastern ocean, and if the Pengios didn't care that these nails continued to penetrate, they would become 'beehives'."
"Each island has an airfield that can provide take-off and landing of aircraft. Once caught in the siege of these islands, any fleet will only be destroyed."
"But it's not easy to remove these nails. We also have enough aircraft to serve as defenses, and there will be a lot of shore artillery on the island to provide fire support..."
As he introduced, he kept switching projection cards, and islands with strange shapes appeared in front of people.
To say that those islands are small islands, it is better to say that they are concrete fortifications standing on the eastern ocean!
Concrete at every turn several meters thick, as well as deeper underground bunkers, are sufficient to ensure the attack and survivability of each island.
Mr. President and the generals nodded, especially Mr. President, he pointed to the projection screen, "I remember this project was proposed by Lynch?"
The officer nodded and said yes, "Mr. Lynch proposed the Midway Island plan. He connected the islands of the entire Eastern Ocean into one piece. Our fleet can find supply points at any time, and can also use at least two to three fixed at any time. The islands serve as fortifications, for defensive counterattacks, or for attacks on enemy fleets."
Mr. President nodded, he remembered this because Congress didn't like the plan very much at the time, they thought Lynch was cheating.
But the military felt valuable and held two more hearings. In the end, the military persuaded the master in Congress. For this reason, Lynch also took an extra sum of money to buy a leather bag company——
The cost of the acquisition flowed into the accounts of those senators in the form of dividends through the original holding fund of the leather bag company.
You got a big project. This is the face the Congressman gave you. You have to be grateful.
Those who know how to be grateful can have a good life!
The officer continues to introduce.
"In addition to this, the current parameter performance of Blackstone's fighter jets is at least above the data we have obtained."
"To put it simply, if we send one fighter jet, we can at least contain or even destroy two or more of the other's fighter jets. The only thing we lack now may be the number."
"We've given Lynch a big order a while ago..."
He's talking about the $2 billion aircraft order, which is rolling off the assembly line and then being installed.
Mr. President is frowning at this time~IndoMTL.com~ But from the information I have in hand, the Pengios intend to maintain at least 20,000 aircraft that can enter combat status at any time during the war , but we only have a few thousand..."
The comparison of this number is too much.
At this point the officer was about to say something, like it was a "disinformation" or something.
He doesn't believe that the Pengjiao people can have so many planes in service at the same time. He must know that although the cost of this thing is cheap, it may not be able to support the number of them.
According to the current quotation provided by Lynch, 2,000 planes are already 2 billion.
If you increase that number tenfold, it's 20 billion.
You also have to take into account the tens of thousands of pilots you need, as well as various other extended expenses. The whole plan will not be able to support even the Federation. This is obviously a false information.
Analysis of the Strategic Command believes that this is likely to be a smoke bomb released by the Pengios, the purpose is to increase pressure on countries!
But before he could say it, he was stopped by a lieutenant general...
