Chapter 134 2 Aquatic Assault Ship
Half a month later, Minister of Military Industry Lu Hangxuan came to Yanwu Palace again and reported the progress of the work to Qin Ruihua: "Your Majesty."
"We have already designed the amphibious assault ship you need. Please take a look and see if it meets your requirements and expectations."
Qin Ruihua looked at Lu Hangxuan and responded: "Okay, let me see your results."
He took the drawing handed over by Lu Hangxuan and studied it carefully.
Lu Hangxuan began to introduce their design plan: "Your Majesty, this is a detailed drawing of an amphibious assault ship."
"Based on your needs, we named it the Assault-class amphibious assault ship."
"Its full load displacement is approximately 35,000 tons, its total length is 266 meters and its width is 28.5 meters."
"The ship's maximum speed can reach 25 knots, and it is also equipped with a small number of anti-aircraft guns and advanced air search radar and sea search radar systems."
"In addition, the Assault-class amphibious assault ship can carry up to forty aircraft of various types, but it does not have a hangar."
"Its interior has enough space to accommodate forty-five amphibious armored fighting vehicles and five amphibious tanks."
"It can carry a fully armed reinforced battalion, about 2,500 soldiers."
Then, Lu Hangxuan continued to explain: "Our amphibious armored vehicles can carry forty-five soldiers, and are also equipped with general-purpose machine guns, heavy machine guns and other weapons."
"The amphibious tank is equipped with a 76mm caliber tank gun, which has powerful fire support capabilities."
Assault-class amphibious assault ship (the appearance can refer to the Essex-class aircraft carrier)
Type 76 amphibious tank (the appearance can refer to the PT- amphibious tank)
Type 5 amphibious armored vehicle (the appearance can refer to the LVTP tracked amphibious armored vehicle)
Qin Ruihua carefully examined the drawings in his hands. His eyes were sharp and focused, not missing any details.
After a careful observation, he smiled with satisfaction and nodded in approval: "Minister Lu, this amphibious assault ship."
"I am very satisfied. This displacement has exceeded that of our first generation of aircraft carriers."
As the empire's Minister of Military Industry, Lu Hangxuan felt very honored and proud of this praise.
He bowed slightly and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"This amphibious assault ship has strong comprehensive capabilities and can perform missions independently."
“It is particularly suitable for sneak attacks, and its flexibility and concealment will pose a huge threat to the enemy.”
After Qin Ruihua thought deeply for a moment, he gave the order: "Well, good, produce four."
"This way, we can carry 10,000 soldiers, and there are more than 100 fighter planes. The overall combat capability should be good."
Lu Hangxuan immediately replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will order its production as soon as possible and put it into service as soon as possible."
Qin Ruihua waved his hand to signal him that he could leave: "Go back if you have nothing else."
Lu Hangxuan bowed again and said goodbye: "I'll take my leave."
Then he slowly left the room, leaving Qin Ruihua to continue thinking.
After Lu Hangxuan returned, he immediately arranged for the two shipyards to build four amphibious assault ships.
The task was divided into two, with each shipyard responsible for the manufacture of two amphibious assault ships.
After receiving the order, the two shipyards took immediate action. Workers busily shuttled between various workshops, doing their best to complete this important task.
At the same time, Lu Hangxuan was not idle either. He immediately went to the military factory and ordered them to start building amphibious tanks and amphibious armored vehicles.
Taking into account the actual situation, Yan State decided not to carry general-purpose helicopters on aircraft carriers or amphibious assault ships.
The reason is that not only does this limit the number of people that can be carried, but it also requires the redesign of facilities such as elevators, which is too cumbersome.
However, Yan State did not stop exploring helicopter technology.
At present, Yan State is conducting research and development of a new generation of helicopters based on general-purpose helicopters.
The aim is to develop a new type of helicopter that can meet the needs of the navy, army and air force.
Qin Ruihua had the idea of retiring the two aircraft carriers, Weiguo and Huguo.
After all, this type of aircraft carrier is not very advanced, it is just equipped with radar.
They wanted to sell it to the big states, but the big states couldn't afford it. Even if they could afford it, they couldn't maintain it.
Prussia doesn't have much money, so perhaps we can sell it to them as collateral for a loan.
This could make the situation in European countries even more tense.
This idea is indeed good, but the details need to be discussed with Prussia.
Of course, the carrier-based aircraft on it will definitely not be sold together.
Moreover, the radar will be dismantled, and some carrier-based aircraft with lower performance will be produced for Prussia.
After all, no country would sell its most advanced weapons, and the same is true for Yan Country.
And now the United States is building an aircraft carrier of the same level as the Huguo aircraft carrier.
Qin Ruihua was too lazy to think about these things, and soon he arrived at the room of the little princess of Windmill Kingdom.
The two of them spent a sleepless night happily, like spring flowers.
