Girls und War

The girls chatted and laughed as they finished their meal, and then the sergeant took them to show around.

Including ammunition depots, torpedo warehouses, warehouses, activity rooms and so on.

Every time an Army girl came on board a submarine, they would be given a tour.

It's just a routine matter.

After all, everyone is still very interested in various war weapons.

However, this visit did not last long.

Soon, a broadcast came from inside the submarine that the submarine was surfacing.

"Oh, we're here." Qingxian said to himself.

The submarine's novel journey is coming to an end.

Next, they will transfer to another means of transportation.

This time it's a real ship at sea.

344. I will always like Lexington and San Latoga

After the Little Loach surfaced, everyone inside felt a slight shaking.

The submarine hatch made a sound of airtight decompression, and the girls in the squadron quickly climbed out of the submarine under the guidance of the submarine officer.

The roar of the jet engine reached my ears, and the blue sky and ocean came into view.

And an entire awe-inspiring naval fleet!

The submarine they were standing on was in the center of the fleet.

As the voice broadcast of "Target area reached, please proceed with handover" was heard, the girls looked at the huge ship silhouettes around them with surprised expressions.

This way of waiting was so shocking that they forgot their words for a moment.

A fierce whistling sound came from the ears, and everyone's attention was drawn to the tall ship silhouette on the right.

The curved side armor belt, the tall radar island, and the slightly upturned catapult runway present an elegant arc.

A streamlined fighter jet just took off from the runway, and the roar of the engine just now came from it.

There was no doubt that what appeared before their eyes was one of the ultimate weapons of war in the electrical age.

--aircraft carrier.

After leaving the ship, the fighter jet suddenly rose higher.

Then it drew a beautiful trajectory and quickly accelerated into the sky.

The girls were stunned.

After the submarine sent the communication request for handover, it quickly received a reply.

Two small boats quickly drove over from the frigate not far away, surfing and shouting at them through loud speakers -

"Coming, coming, coming right over."

The girls looked at the small frigate, then at the huge aircraft carrier, and immediately asked Qingxian with hope, "Hey, deputy captain, can we go up on the big ship and take a look?"

"This..." Qingxian showed a hesitant expression.

"Big ship, big ship." They began to cheer. "Hey, deputy captain, hey hey hey hey."

"I...I'll ask for you." Qingxian was embarrassed to refuse them directly.

"The deputy captain is the best!"

So, when the boat approached the Little Loach, Qingxian immediately started negotiations with the naval officers on board.

"Visiting?" The naval officer looked puzzled. "Aren't you in a hurry to evacuate the enemy? How come you have the free time now?"

Qingxian was speechless for a moment.

The officer looked at her, then at the Rangers members behind her, and said, "It's not that you can't apply. But what about your mission?"

Qingxian was stunned.

After thinking for a moment, he turned around and said seriously, "Finish the task first, and then come back to visit!"

The girls' disappointment was palpable.

But Qingxian hardened his heart and said nothing more.

So they moved from the submarine to the small boats, with ten people in each boat, sitting on both sides.

The two fully loaded boats immediately headed towards the landing ship. After they left, the submarine dived into the sea again and entered a hidden state.

There are more than just the Little Loach submarines lurking in this sea area.

A complete ocean-going aircraft carrier formation should have four attack submarines.

In addition, this sea-based aircraft carrier battle group also includes two missile cruisers, four escort destroyers, and two ocean-going supply ships.

Some people may wonder, isn’t the classification of ship types such as destroyers and cruisers the classification of maritime equipment before the electrical age?

How come in this post-electrical era of black technology on the imaginary battlefield, there is still such a classification of ships?

It’s actually very simple, it’s mainly a matter of money.

The name cruiser specifically means a large surface warship that operates in the ocean.

Its value lies in its ability to conduct multi-purpose and multi-tactical operations in distant ocean areas with its high mobility and strong firepower.

Its comprehensive performance puts it in an advantageous position among various types of naval vessels in the pre-industrial era.

Compared with the large ships and battleships of the same era, it has stronger maneuverability, longer range and faster speed; and compared with destroyers that can only operate near the coast, its firepower is at an advantage.

However, as the electrical age progresses, the strategic significance of cruisers, or missile cruisers, becomes increasingly awkward.

High-tech destroyers, after continuous strengthening of air defense, anti-submarine and ground attack capabilities, have become increasingly ahead of cruisers.

Not to mention the battleship, which is undoubtedly an old weapon that has been completely abandoned by history.

As a result, the strategic position of cruisers became lower and lower - especially after the destroyers completed their upgrades and evolved into their final form - they completely defeated the missile cruisers, which had a false reputation and won only by tonnage.

It can even be said that some of the larger 10,000-ton "destroyers", although called destroyers, do what cruisers do.

It can be understood that in the post-electric era, the names of cruiser and destroyer have been completely merged into one.

What they represent is the same kind of marine equipment in the post-electrical era.

But here comes the point.

This kind of marine equipment is extremely expensive.

Like the Air Force's front-line combat fighter jets, as the ultimate weapon in the technology line, the resources required cannot be solved by simply building a few fewer tanks.

Therefore, in order to save money, the Navy Department had to weaken certain system equipment when building ships.

For example, long-range strike capability, air defense firepower network, or ocean cruising capability.

So, as a convention, on the imaginary battlefield, people will call high-displacement destroyers in their complete state "missile cruisers."

However, those small warships that have not developed into complete forms and have weaker data in all aspects are still called "defense destroyers."

As for the core combat capability of the entire aircraft carrier battle group - the aircraft carrier itself, there is no question of saving money or not.

With a displacement of 100,000 tons, a length of 350 meters, and a beam of 68 meters, it boasts a high-tech top speed of nearly 60 knots, capable of launching large radar aircraft without a catapult in a favorable wind.

Needless to say, the self-defense capability is excellent. Three sets of short-range air defense missile launchers and four sets of close-range fully automatic air defense machine guns can ensure that no mosquitoes can fly in within a radius of five kilometers.

The aircraft carrier is fully loaded with eight armed helicopters, eight ultra-high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, four airborne radar early warning aircraft, and a full complement of first-line and super first-line fighter jets with a ratio of twenty-four plus four.

This aircraft carrier, symbolizing the highest combat power in the war zone, has a resounding and eccentric name:

"Saint Qilin" aircraft carrier.

Among the only four aircraft carrier battle groups in Hua District, its combat effectiveness ranks second.

Now, the girls of the Dragon and Phoenix Special Team were standing on the deck of the landing ship, staring at the Holy Qilin.

345. Are landing craft useless? Are they unloved? Are they just to be despised?

What a beautiful aircraft carrier.

The golden ratio of the island's position, the streamlined side armor, the asymmetrical, dynamic beauty, and the multi-stage runway, as well as the ski-jump flight deck specially reserved for aesthetic considerations.

The entire ship's appearance was designed by a number of artists. While being practical, it also represents a major step forward in human aesthetic pursuits.

So-called good looks mean combat effectiveness. Such a perfect ship should at least be given an SSR rating, right?

Being a wife is not too much, right?

You know, in the entire imaginary battlefield, there are less than forty aircraft carriers in service.

Any war zone that has one or two aircraft carriers is already a hegemon.

The large aircraft carrier of 100,000 tons is a symbol of the rich.

If it is not a large-scale war zone, it is impossible to gather the resources needed to build an aircraft carrier.

Seeing the girls looking eagerly at the Holy Qilin, the officer of the landing ship walked up to them with a smile.

"Watching the boat?" she asked the girls.

The girls in the Rangers looked at each other, then at the naval officer in front of them.

"Aircraft carriers are good, but our landing ships are also good. How about I take you on a tour?" the officer said with a smile.

The landing craft they had just boarded was also a big one.

The "Men" landing ship has a displacement of more than 4,000 tons and is over 100 meters long. It can accommodate more than a dozen tanks for landing operations.

It has two defense destroyers, an attack submarine, and a large number of amphibious combat forces.

He is a hero who lands on the beach.

However, the girls in the Dragon and Phoenix Squadron had already experienced the baptism of aircraft carriers, and they really had no interest in landing ships.

One girl couldn't help but say, "I want to see the big ship..."

The landing ship officer got angry when he heard this and immediately said, "Our landing ship is not big enough, right? It can't satisfy you, right? Your standards are too high, right? Not sexy enough, right?"

The girl, realizing she had said something wrong, immediately showed an aggrieved expression and said, "No... I didn't mean that..."

"Forget it, forget it, let it be..." She walked away cursing, saying, "Everyone likes aircraft carriers, everyone likes big ships... Don't I like them? Why should landing ships have to endure this kind of treatment..."

The girls from the Dragon and Phoenix Squadron looked at each other again, all with sullen expressions.

At this time, Qingxian completed the communication with the headquarters and walked over from the tower.

She looked at the embarrassed expressions of the girls and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"

The girls quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay."

Viper quickly changed the subject and asked Qingxian, "What are the subsequent combat arrangements?"

Speaking of business, Qingxian immediately became nervous. "The mission has been issued. With the help of the navy, we will land near the port of Kote. After that, we will cooperate with the armored forces on the plateau side to launch a full-scale attack on the two river outlets."

Viper thought about it and asked a more core question.

"What about the previous pursuit mission? Does it count as part of the same quest chain as this one?"

Upon hearing this, Qingxian immediately said, "The pursuit mission came to an end after we safely escaped from the southern desert. The mission was successfully completed, and it is expected to be a great honor for the Iron Border Army."

"Both squadrons?" asked a girl from the Phoenix Squadron.

"Both." Qingxian nodded.

The girls of Phoenix Squadron immediately showed happy expressions.

"Almost?" Viper asked again, her expression not seeming very satisfied.

This "almost" refers to the distance from the silver edge, right?

"Well, it was almost there." Qingxian also had a look of regret on his face.

Unfortunately, the Air Force did not gain the advantage at that time and the logistical supplies did not keep up.
