Moreover, the US Navy still has an idea, that is, some of their navy insist that aircraft carriers have the identity of a main warship than battleships. For these people, they have been studying aircraft carriers for a long time, and they have also seen the world's public opinion orientation. They believe that this is someone who is deliberately operating and conducting a wrong public opinion orientation. Unfortunately, the American people and the US government still believe in this public opinion orientation. If they can make the decision, they will continue to increase the research funds for aircraft carriers. Unfortunately, many people in the domestic Navy Department and the government have already expressed their opinions. If they continue to study aircraft carriers, they will start to reduce the naval military expenditure.

In the U.S. military expenditure, the navy's military expenditure has always been the big part of the entire military expenditure. The navy and air force can occupy more than 70% of the military expenditure, and the army and the National Guard can equally divide the remaining 30%. In the United States, the army can be said to be the least important branch of military expenditure, because the United States does not often occupy the territory of other countries. In the American concept, if the territory of those backward countries is incorporated into American society, it will cause great trouble to American society. Therefore, the United States' overseas expansion policy is just to pursue the origin of raw materials and the dumping place of goods, and has no interest in occupying the territory of other countries. Their method is very novel for old capitalist colonial countries.

In modern society, Mao Yuanshan also studied this method. This should be the most time-saving and labor-saving way and maximizing his own interests. Although Britain, France and other countries occupied a large number of colonies in the world, their investment in colonies also divided the profits they made. The Americans did not need to send troops and staff from government departments in various places. They just needed to dump goods in various places and take all the profits back to their own country in business. To do this, they only needed to develop domestic productivity and maintain a military force that other countries in the world dare not underestimate.

The United States' open door policy lists some things about China. At that time, the entire China had been divided up by other countries, and the United States was doing its own things. When he looked back, he found that there was no place for Americans to intervene in the entire China. Therefore, the Americans proposed an open door policy, that is, no matter who is in the sphere of influence, they could do business and build factories and a series of preferential matters. Other European powers saw this as well, so they contributed their colonies. However, they did not expect the sinister intentions of the Americans. Although it was an open door policy, allowing everyone to enjoy equal rights on all territories, your productivity and output capabilities were too far worse than those of the Americans. Only Germany and Britain could compete with the United States in Europe, and other countries were no match for the Americans at all. Even if they agreed to the open door policy, only Americans would get the advantage.

Moreover, in other aspects, they do not have the excellent conditions that Americans have. First of all, in terms of the military, small European countries have no way to maintain a world-class navy. The most confident thing about the Americans' open door policy is that their navy is strong. No matter what their commercial interests are violated all over the world, they can send navies to protect their rights as soon as possible. This is something that other countries cannot do. It is precisely because of this that the Americans maintain their strong standing navy and have combat capabilities in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans at the same time. Moreover, the US military proposed the possibility of winning two wars at the same time, so it is necessary to ensure that the US Navy and the British Navy run side by side, and after the outbreak of World War II, they left the British Navy behind. The navies of other countries are not as powerful as those of the US Navy.

If the world's public opinion was not dominated by Mao Yuanshan, the US Navy should have been fully transferred to the ranks of aircraft carrier combat as in history. Although there are three aircraft carriers in the US Navy, these three aircraft carriers were not built for combat, but were all built for experiments. Strictly speaking, these three aircraft carriers cannot be called combat aircraft carriers. Their subsequent models are now invalid. In various naval battles, the US observers' report to them Congress was that the battleships are not outdated yet, but aircraft carriers cannot be in war.

How much help is provided? First of all, the aircraft taken off on the aircraft carrier can fly up to about 2,000 nautical miles, which does not improve much of the combat radius. One is the main attack weapon problem on the aircraft, the largest is 500 kilograms of aviation bombs, and the hit rate is not very high when bombing high-speed moving warships. The most important thing is that in their opinion, 500 kilograms of aviation bombs will be fine if they deal with destroyers and cruisers, but if they hit the battleship, it will be like it is scratching his itch.

The Americans conducted an experiment on the damage caused by the bombs on the aircraft to the battleships. They conducted an experiment with a German battleship captured during World War I. The results of the experiment could be said to have shocked the US Navy. They originally thought that such a bomb would not be able to sank the battleships, but they did not expect that the battleships would really sank the battleships during the experiment. One of the reasons why the US Navy did not buy it was because the battleships were stopped when the experiment was conducted. However, in actual situations, the battleships were running at high speed. If they wanted to blow up the battleships during high speed operation, it would not be so easy. Moreover, there were a large number of air defense warships around the battleships, and it might have to pay a greater price to send the battleships to the bottom of the sea.

So the US Navy's plan to develop aircraft carriers slowed down. It was precisely because of this that General MacArthur became nervous when he heard that the Japanese devils suddenly had two battleships. If it was landing for combat, the role of a battleship would be very huge, especially if the main guns over 400 mm were fired at a salvo, which would have a great impact on the enemy's confidence.
