"How many wings?" Teraunuchi was confused. How many wings were there? A Japanese Air Force wing had 80 to 110 aircraft. According to the unique "absolute discussion" of the Japanese, when Nishitoji said he was willing to mediate, he must have communicated with the Navy. If the navy agrees, the price of aviation force paid by the Army this time will definitely not be less. If there are 4, it will be 300 to 400 aircraft! The entire Japanese Army only has 9 training and dissatisfaction wings! However, this is not the end, which does not mean that the aircraft will be completed after being sent out. A large part of the future aviation equipment supply may be cut off. If this knife continues, the Japanese Army will suffer huge losses!

"Today, Mr. Yamamoto Honbu and Navy Military Counseling General Shimamura Too come here to discuss with me the future plans of the Japanese Navy in the Pacific battlefield. Foreign Minister Kato Takamaki will also come here to discuss the future international political situation with me. You can also participate. I will help the army in the next talks." Nishimotoji Koto said: "But there is a requirement, you must cooperate with me. Don't conflict with the navy because of some things that are not very important."

"Okay, then please, yourselves." said Masato Taruchi.

At this time, the other two protagonists of the parliament, Yamamoto Homoto and Shimamura Soo are sitting in the car heading towards the Nishinomiji Komatsu residence. In the back seat of the car, Yamamoto Homoto and Shimamura Sooo are discussing plans for the future Pacific War.

"This is the list of all the main battleships that the empire can use in the next three months. The displacement is as high as 35,000 tons and equipped with 10 15-inch guns, a total of six Fuso-class rapid battleships, namely Fuso, Ise, Yamago, Hinata, Takaha and Tosa. This is our absolute main force at present." Shimamura Soo took out a document and said.

"The three fast battleships of the King Kong class are the King Kong, Biru and Hazel. We have improved and upgraded the original British battlecruiser based on the experience and lessons of previous naval battles, mainly to increase the thickness of the dome armor in the power bay and ammunition bay section, and the thickness of the inclined part of the dome armor was increased to 4 inches. The thickness in the horizontal direction was 3 inches, and underwater lightning protection protrusions were arranged on both sides of the hull. After the modification, due to the increase in weight, the speed of the King Kong was only about 26 knots, but the defense power was greatly increased. According to the Navy's estimates, the current fast battleships of the King Kong class can block the US 14-inch armor-piercing missiles at normal combat distances."

"In addition, we have a No. 2 ship Ibuki, the No. 2 ship of the Okama-class fast battleship, which can be used. The combat effectiveness of this battleship is actually higher than that of the King Kong-class fast battleship, so we have incorporated them into the fast fleet composed of the King Kong-class battleships."

"As for the last two first-generation dreadnoughts, the Hanoi and Sezu, were not suitable for co-organization with the other two battleship detachments due to their slow speed. They are currently used as reserve forces and defensive forces for aircraft carrier detachments." Shimamura Soo said.

"In other words, there are only 10 fast battleships that we can use. So what are the situations of our latest super battleships, Nagamon and Muro?" asked Yamamoto Hoshio.

"The Nagato has started training. It is estimated that it will be able to catch up with the war. The Muro has just completed the outfit and is in the sea trial. If we follow our current progress, it will probably take 6 months to enter service. As for the subsequent Kaga battleship, it has not yet been launched, and the service time is estimated to be long-lasting. In this war, there are really few main ships we can supply." Shimamura Soo said.

"Haha, if the US Navy starts to calculate from the original South Carolina-class battleship to the current Colorado-class super battleship, the Americans have a total of 22 fearless and super fearless ships. In addition to the Germans' 4 Bavarian-class battleships, that is to say, the Empire will use the current 12 battleships to deal with the 26 battleships of the Americans and the Germans! Such a huge gap in strength is really scary." Yamamoto said with a sigh.

"But fortunately, we are going to war now. If the war is a few years later, then we may have to face the United States equipped with 12 16-inch guns and the Lexington-class battlecruiser equipped with 8 16-inch guns and the speed of 30 knots! By then, we will be even more miserable. Although we also have plans to build a Tiancheng-class fast battleship, overall, we have no future in arms race with the Americans." Shimamura Soo said.

"Actually, from the moment, we still have huge quality advantages. According to our intelligence, in order to hurry, the newly built Colorado-class battleships still use the hull design of the new Mexican-class battleships. In this way, the improvement potential of this battleship is very limited. Even if they can make some changes, such as increasing the inclination of the main armor belt and continuing to extend it to defend against water bombs and torpedoes. However, this improvement is also limited, because this class battleship itself has limited space and limited power system. The Americans must maintain a reasonable speed and the increase of the allowance will not be much. With a more powerful main armor belt, the improvement of horizontal armor will inevitably be limited. If the weight of the new dual 16-inch gun is considered, their vertical armor belt may be relatively limited."

As a senior executive of the Joint Fleet, Shimamura Soo is still very sensitive to the cutting-edge of naval technology. For real experts, looking at the appearance of this warship and roughly turning the length, width and linearity of the warship can give a rough estimate of the tonnage and navigation performance of this class of warship. If this warship can continue to conduct reconnaissance after the warship is in service, even if it is relatively far apart, a lot of data can still be obtained, such as estimating the specific tonnage through draft, as well as reserve buoyancy, etc.

How is the American standard battleship designed? That is definitely good! The world's first battleship that uses key defenses. In history, it has the top defense system in World War I. The 343mm main armor belt on the side is the same as the group of iron turtles in Germany. The main horizontal armor thickness is also good, enough to deal with horizontal bomb attacks in World War I. The 12 14-inch l45/50 cannons are also fierce enough!

It can be said that if it weren't for the Americans' 14-inch l50 artillery that was too large for walking, there were some problems with armor-piercing bombs, and if it weren't for the Americans' own technical and tactical level, whether it was New Mexico or Tennessee, these warships were definitely stronger than the queen in the fight against the death. They were opponents of the same level as Bavaria in history!
