Adams Teach was a veteran after all, and Fang Lang's analysis had indeed had a huge impact on his inherent ideas, but he knew very well in his heart that if there was a sharp spear, there must be a solid shield, and there was no weapon that could not be defended against.
Of course, the two big bombs dropped by the Americans on Japan are really despairing, but with the advancement of technology, sooner or later, people will be able to find a way to defend against it.
Even if you cannot defend yourself, you can still equip yourself with the same weapons. In this way, no one will dare to attack you easily.
After hearing Fang Lang's answer and taking two deep breaths, Adams Teach's mentality finally returned to normal and his complexion became better.
"Intercept? Do you mean to use missiles to detonate incoming missiles in advance? But missiles must be very fast! How can we intercept them?"
Picking up the wine glass, Fang Lang took a sip and said with a smile:
“The speed of the missile is indeed very fast, even exceeding the speed of sound, but because the missile is launched beyond visual range, the flight distance is generally longer, which will give the defender a certain amount of time.
With the advancement of technology, our radars will inevitably become more and more powerful, and the detection distance and range will inevitably become larger and larger, and then combined with electronic computers with powerful computing power.
As soon as it captures a missile taking off, it calculates the opponent's flight trajectory and trajectory, and then sends this data to its own missile defense system, allowing its own missiles to be fired directly at the incoming missile, detonating it in advance.
...
...
Of course, this is just my personal fantasy. Whether it can be realized depends on whether science and technology can support it. "
Adams Teach, who was standing by, felt a little dazed after listening to Fang Lang's description. After all, in his opinion, this was too sci-fi.
However, after careful analysis, I feel that it is not impossible to achieve, but it will definitely require huge investment.
"I understand. It seems that missiles will indeed become the main weapon that dominates the future. Even aircraft carriers can only passively defend themselves if they are targeted by missiles.
In other words, our navy’s weapons and equipment in the future will all be centered around launching and defending against missiles.”
In fact, this tactical concept has not yet been fully formed, but because of Fang Lang's time travel, the Brazilian Navy has realized in advance the important position of missiles in future wars.
In particular, although Adams Teach was only the deputy chief of staff of the Navy Department, Fang Lang was planning to push him to the position of chief of staff.
With the full support of such a senior naval officer, a new faction will inevitably gradually emerge in the navy, just like the aircraft carrier faction, replacing the battleship faction.
These are all what Fang Lang is happy to see. After all, only if this faction grows rapidly will he be able to gain greater support from the military when developing missiles in the future.
Fang Lang nodded affirmatively to Adams Teach's words and gave him a positive answer:
"Yes, at least that's how it seems to me."
"That is to say, in the future we should focus on developing the three industries of missiles, radars and electronic computers, right? But these three aspects seem to be blank in Brazil!"
Adams Teach looked at Fang Lang with a confident yet slightly hesitant look.
Fang Lang understood what the other party meant and said with a smile:
“It’s not all blank. Right now, the computer industry is the most advanced in Brazil. As early as I realized the direction of these future changes, I was already thinking about ways to fill these gaps.
In the electronic computer industry, our Brazilian laboratory has successfully produced the first electronic computer, which is among the best in the world.
As for missiles and radars, I have also been thinking about it recently."
It has to be said that Adams Teach knew Fang Lang very well. He knew that this guy often ran around everywhere without doing his job. He originally thought that he was just bored and doing business everywhere.
But now it seems that this is obviously not the case. The other party has made so many contributions to Brazil's national defense without realizing it.
If anyone dares to say in front of him that Fang Lang is not doing his job and running around everywhere, he will definitely give that person a good beating.
I finally understood why the leaders of the Navy Department and the Ministry of Defense never said anything about Fang Lang's behavior.
Adams Teach let out a long breath, then looked at Fang Lang with a firm gaze and said:
"General Fang, please rest assured!
In the future, I will definitely do my best to implement your tactical ideas, stand firmly behind you, and build our navy into a truly world-class modern navy."
The sudden display of loyalty stunned Fang Lang. For a moment he didn't quite understand the other party's psychology, but looking at the other party's serious expression, he
Fang Lang could only reveal a satisfied smile and nodded at the other party.
"The advancement of missile technology will take a long time, and our shipbuilding cannot stop and wait, but must actively seek breakthroughs.
I have a suggestion for you. After the first generation of domestically produced destroyer project is completed, our ship research and development direction can be appropriately tilted towards submarines.
World War II has proven that submarines are an excellent weapon, and it is not too late for us to study them now."
Submarines have a long history, and Adams Teach was certainly familiar with them. However, Brazil has had submarines for a relatively short time, and he has not yet actually come into contact with this weapon.
But it is not difficult to understand it, because all the submarines in Brazil are now serving in Fang Lang's Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group. As long as he gets Fang Lang's consent, he can study it carefully at close range.
Although he had never actually come into contact with submarines, Adams Teach was very clear about how the Germans used submarines in World War II and had a certain understanding of submarine tactics.
Originally, after listening to Fang Lang's remarks on the changes in future warfare methods after the emergence of missiles, he had gained some understanding, but had not yet noticed the existence of submarines. Now, after hearing Fang Lang mention it, his eyes lit up.
"Yes! Submarines are hidden underwater, so they are not as easily detected and locked by surface ships as surface ships. They can also quietly ambush enemy ships without having to worry about being directly attacked by missiles."
After hearing what Adams Teach said, Fang Lang coughed twice to remind him not to be too confident.
"Submarines do have their own advantages in terms of stealth compared to surface ships, but this does not mean that submarines can avoid missile attacks.
Missiles can fly in the air, and naturally they can also travel through the water. Once a submarine is locked in position, it is also difficult to escape the precise attack from the missile.
Therefore, the most important thing in manufacturing a submarine is to improve its stealth, making the hull as stealthy and noise-reducing as possible, while increasing the strength of the hull so that it can dive deeper into the seabed.
It is also necessary to increase the submarine's underwater survival time, minimize surfacing, and avoid increasing the chance of being discovered by the enemy.
The most suitable power source for submarines should be battery-driven, which can reduce the noise emitted by submarines, reduce oxygen consumption, and increase the underwater maneuverability of submarines.
Nowadays, the main means for submarines to fight against enemy ships is to rely on sonar. If we want to improve the submarine's underwater confrontation capability, we must also find ways to develop more advanced sonar.
If we can do this, I think the performance of our submarines will definitely give us sufficient confidence in our coastal defense security.”
After listening to Fang Lang's words, Adams Teach thought seriously for a long time before saying:
“I understand. Once I finish the work at hand, I will head to your naval fleet to learn more about the specific situation of the submarine.
If necessary, I think we may also need your submarine to come to the shipyard to provide some reference for the designers."
Fang Lang was prepared for this situation and said without hesitation:
"Don't worry about this. If necessary, I will arrange for the submarines in the fleet to take turns to go to Fangyuan Shipyard for maintenance, giving the shipyard enough time to thoroughly understand the submarines.
Also, I have a latest U21 submarine captured from the Germans. This submarine is probably one of the most advanced submarines in the world.
I hope that our future submarines can be developed around this submarine."
The reason why Fang Lang mentioned these things about the technical advantages and research and development of submarines to Adams Teach was mainly to have someone in the navy who understood his ideas.
Avoid taking detours in future submarine development.
As the boss of Fangyuan Group, he can of course directly convey his ideas to the designers of the shipyard and let the designers carry out the design work according to his ideas.
However, if the navy, as the user of submarines, cannot understand these design ideas, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Fang Lang took this opportunity to instill his own submarine construction concepts into Adams Teach.
Adams Teach was of course surprised to hear that Brazil now has the most advanced German submarine in the world. He looked at Fang Lang with even more admiration. He didn't expect that the other party had quietly made so much effort for the construction of the Brazilian Navy.
He nodded seriously, looked at Fang Lang with a firm gaze and said:
"General Fang, rest assured! I will never let your efforts go to waste. When the new submarine design comes out, I will send it to you as soon as possible, and I will submit it only after you approve it."
Fang Lang did not reject Adams Teach's words. In his opinion, this kind of thing was indeed very important. With his own vision for the future as a guide, he could at least tell whether the designed submarine was on the right track in terms of design concept.
Of course, Fang Lang did not mention to Adams Teach that submarines have another important function, which is that they can be equipped with submarine-launched missiles loaded with mushroom bombs to carry out strategic nuclear deterrence against enemy countries.
It’s not that Fang Lang doesn’t want to have such a powerful weapon, but it’s too early to say this now. It’s better for him to adjust the development direction according to future changes in the situation and determine whether to start research and development of these equipment in the future.
At the same time, if there is a spear, there must be a shield. When Fang Lang reminded Adams Teach to tilt the direction of ship development towards submarines, he also began to think about the means of confronting submarines, that is, how to fight against submarines.
It is obviously not enough to rely solely on the sonar equipped on current destroyers. So what will be the navy’s main anti-submarine means in the future?
The first figures that appeared in Fang Lang's mind were the large helicopter platforms behind those large destroyers and those domineering anti-submarine helicopters.
So what do they use to fight against submarines? It certainly can't be done with the naked eye. Well! The equipment that fishermen in my hometown can often salvage and sell for money is the sonar buoy.
In addition to using radar to scan the sea surface, larger anti-submarine aircraft also often use the method of deploying sonar buoys to carry out anti-submarine operations.
After figuring this out, Fang Lang became more determined to develop helicopters. The licensing agreement he had signed with Bell Aircraft Corporation was a good start for future helicopter manufacturing.
Time passed slowly as Fang Lang and Adams Teach were talking to each other. As the protagonist of the banquet, Fang Lang had never returned since he left the banquet hall and came to the small balcony.
After the banquet, Fang Lang returned to the Natal Naval Base in a low-key manner.
