630 Competition Rules
"Frank, you've done a great job on this.
Leave the rest to us.
We also have to use our own abilities to prove your vision.
We cannot allow you to embarrass yourself in front of your fleet commanders."
Ye Qingshan's words made Frank silent, but also a little moved.
“Okay, Ye.
I believe you.
Win beautifully, and then I can make a good fool of Bulwer.
I hope he will never dare to shout in front of me again."
"No problem, I'll take the job."
"Ha ha!"
Then the two looked at each other and laughed, and walked towards the Lanai Island Base Command together.
“That’s right, Frank.
Have you mentioned the eight additional warships that were given to me to your commander-in-chief?"
“No.
At the meeting, I was troubled by that guy Bulwer, just the issue of including your expeditionary fleet in the combat sequence.
I haven't even finished it yet.
How dare I mention providing you with additional warships?
But don't worry.
As long as you can defeat that Bulwer guy in the live-fire exercise tomorrow, I promise to replenish your necessary warships."
"Don't break your promise."
"how come!"
Ye Qingshan and Frank were still chatting as they walked.
Two hours later, before Frank left the Lanai Island base, he went to the US Pacific Fleet Headquarters.
He sent a telegram to Ye Qingshan's headquarters.
It's about the rules for tomorrow's live-fire exercise.
“Tomorrow, Bulwer will command two escort carriers and three destroyers to participate in live-fire exercises.
The two escort aircraft carriers each carried fifteen carrier-based aircraft to carry out attack missions.
Three mobile target ships will be placed in the exercise area as attack targets.
The command has allowed your fleet to participate in this exercise with two escort carriers and the five warships of your fleet.
Moreover, your two escort aircraft carriers can be fully loaded with carrier-based aircraft.
At that time, we will also attack three moving target ships.
The exercise uses the torpedoes fired by warships of both sides, as well as the hit rate of bombs and torpedoes dropped by carrier-based aircraft, as the scoring criteria.
But given the differences in the performance of our warships and carrier-based aircraft.
After the war, the score achieved by your ships and carrier-based aircraft will only need to reach half of that of the aircraft carrier fleet commanded by Bulwer.
Just to be qualified."
Frank read out the rules of the exercise competition formulated by the senior officials of the US military base at Pearl Harbor.
It is obvious that the people who formulated the exercise rules at the US Fleet Command also took into account the actual situation of the expeditionary fleet.
Allow Ye Qingshan to send more warships and carrier-based aircraft to participate in the exercise.
They only need to achieve half of the score of the fleet participating in the exercise to pass.
But isn't this also a kind of arrogance?
Wang Chuying and other expeditionary fleet officers who heard these rules were very dissatisfied.
“Commander, we don’t need preferential treatment.
We will provide as many warships and carrier-based aircraft as they provide."
Wang Chuying pleaded to Ye Qingshan angrily.
"Frank, did you hear that?
My people say we don’t need preferential treatment.”
Ye Qingshan turned and looked at Frank.
"Are you crazy?"
"Forget it, I know I can't convince you.
It’s up to you.”
"You just need to remember to achieve half of the performance of our participating fleet."
Frank is now familiar with Ye Qingshan's temper.
Knowing that Ye Qingshan is a stubborn person, it is difficult for him to change his mind easily.
Just don't care about it.
Fortunately, even if the expeditionary fleet lacks two warships and several carrier-based aircraft, it will not have much impact on participating in the exercise.
“Did you hear anyone’s request?
Wang Chuying, you go and select thirty of the best carrier-based aircraft pilots in our fleet.
Participate in this exercise.
Tell them it's time to prove themselves.
do not let me down. "
Ye Qingshan turned his head to look at Wang Chuying and asked him to go down and arrange everything.
“Yes, Commander.
I'll go pick someone right away."
Wang Chuying left in a hurry.
Ye Qingshan took the telegram from the US military command from Frank, which contained many rules for the exercise.
For example, it stipulates the types of torpedoes used by both sides, the number of bombs carried by each carrier-based aircraft, etc.
“The rules are quite strict.
That's it.
In this way, when the Americans lose, they won’t make excuses.”
Ye Qingshan sneered.
On Wang Chuying's side, their fleet was about to conduct a live combat exercise competition with an aircraft carrier fleet sent by the US military.
It was like a spark thrown into a frying pan.
In an instant, thousands of soldiers in the base were in a panic.
"Sir, choose me.
I came in first place in my last flight training."
A young carrier-based aircraft pilot rushed to Wang Chuying, raised his hands and shouted.
“You farted, Ren Qiu.
You were just first in the last flight training.
You look at who the pilot of the month is.
It’s me.”
Another pilot rushed over from behind, pushed Ren Qiu in front of him away, and still retorted.
Then he shouted to Wang Chuying: "Sir, I must be among the thirty people."
"And I!"
"I!"
For a moment, Wang Chuying was surrounded by pilots who asked to join the battle.
"Quiet."
"Only thirty people are needed for this exercise."
Wang Chuying shouted: "So, I set a selection criterion.
Based on the annual flight assessment results, the top 30 with the bombing success rate will participate in this exercise competition."
“Why, sir.
Why are they the first thirty before the bomb was dropped? "
"yes.
I’m the best at flying, but I’m not very good at dropping bombs.”
Many people do not understand.
Wang Chuying explained: "It's very simple. This exercise is not an actual combat after all. There will be no real enemy anti-aircraft fire attacking you.
There will be no need for you to engage in a dogfight with enemy carrier-based aircraft.
Therefore, there are no requirements for flying skills, aerial combat, etc.
This exercise mainly tests the pilots' bombing accuracy.
Now you understand. "
“Okay, the top thirty follow me.
The others dispersed.”
Not long after, Wang Chuying went to the command center with thirty pilots who were the most accurate in dropping bombs.
At the same time, Wang Chuying also selected three destroyers to participate in the exercise and asked their captains to come along.
Take them to the headquarters to meet Ye Qingshan.
When Wang Chuying brought his men to the command center, Ye Qingshan had just seen Frank off.
Seeing Wang Chuying and his men coming over, he immediately spoke to the captains and pilots: "Brothers.
Wang Chuying should have told you about the exercises and competitions with the Americans.
I don’t want to say any more nonsense.
I have only one request for you.
To win, and to win beautifully.
The arrogant Americans only ask us to achieve half of their results, and that would consider us qualified.
But I think this is not enough.
I want you to beat the Americans in the final result.
At worst, get close to them.
This time, we want to tell the Americans in all honesty that our Chinese soldiers have never lost to anyone."
