Chapter 494: Air Combat

There are many benefits after the completion of the royal palace, the queen has a serious administrative palace, and at the same time, the reception of investors who was held a while ago has been delayed due to the lack of a suitable location, and now there is an excellent place to use. And the state banquet in November can also be held here.

According to the results of the discussions between Ms. Roberts and the lady-in-waiting, Clifford, they set up a reception for the investors and some government representatives of the Montcalieri Palace in mid-September, and the cocktail party was held in a free format. Invitations were sent out in mid-August and it took a month to prepare.

This is also the first official meeting between the royal family and domestic or foreign investors, and the presence of certain government representatives will also set some policy directions, which is a good time to understand the direction of investment. At the same time, the nature of the social meeting also means that visitors from all walks of life can get to know each other.

……

During this period, An Feng and Joanna have plenty of time to prepare, or spend a relaxing time with their families, since the end of the foreign visit in July, Joanna has basically completed the visit to major countries in Europe and the United States, and the next is a very light life.

In early August, An Feng went to care about something else.

Guri invited him to review the troops.

The results of army building in Sardinia have come out, and there are currently about 2,100 soldiers in service, 170 civilians, and 130 officers, but all of them are professional non-commissioned officers. There are also reserve officers in it, and when the military academies are completed in the future, they will receive systematic officer education.

The ratio of officers and soldiers is maintained at about 1:15, which is a large disparity, but Guli adopts a key training strategy of "professional non-commissioned officers", which is different from the Chinese army that An Feng is familiar with, his focus is that soldiers are led by non-commissioned officers, and officers are only responsible for military issues and give advice.

For example, in the U.S. military, professional non-commissioned officers occupy a large proportion. They are the direct managers, educators, and leaders of the soldiers, while the officers are only responsible for giving orders and commands, which is the way of "commanding by the officers, managing and training the sergeants". For better or worse, but in line with the current Wehrmacht.

The national army does not need a large group of officers, bureaucratic and bloated. Of the 2,100 people now, there are a small number of officers and an increase in the number of non-commissioned officers who live more closely with the soldiers. Non-commissioned officers are the teachers of soldiers in terms of quality and skills, but they can be converted into soldiers. Meet flexible requirements.

The arrangement given by Guli is that in the non-commissioned officer level, there are six ranks, corporal, sergeant, sergeant, and three sergeant majors. Sergeant major belongs to senior non-commissioned officers and is scarce in number. In the US military. The prestige of the sergeant major of the first class is higher than that of some generals. In China, too, non-commissioned officers with more than 20 years of military experience are definitely an extraordinary role that is rarer than generals, that is, the so-called "king of soldiers".

Guri's management of the grassroots soldiers is very good, absorbing the characteristics of each country. Of course, he also had his shortcomings - he was not a very qualified officer. His identity is more inclined to a non-commissioned officer, but it doesn't matter, anyway, more than two thousand soldiers, and there is no need for officers to be smart. How much strategy will be.

Accompanied by Guri, An Feng inspected the troops in the army base.

An Feng came to review the question. In June he was given the title of "Field Marshal" by the Queen, first of all a fictitious position, held by the Prince or the Crown Prince in the same way as the British Field Marshal of the various services; Secondly, it is said that it is a false position, but it also has the right to review the troops.

But there are exceptions - provided for in the Constitution. In the event of an invasion or rebellion, he will take over the army as the Queen's protector. However, in this bad situation, it is said that the ownership of the army is ...... It's hanging. But An Feng has a hole card - the army of machine qì people.

Joanna also gave him the title of "Marshal" in order to facilitate An Feng's contact with the troops. A set of military dress and daily dress was also developed. An Feng has never been a soldier, but he has been trained in the military, and his basic movements are still clear, plus he has a good temperament, and he is also energetic when he wears a military uniform.

First of all, it is a very pure army company, the number of one hundred and twenty people, after a year and a half of training, the spirit finally has a little bit of spirit, but in terms of combat effectiveness, An Feng still has reservations, it should be more fierce than the police firepower, but compared with the armies of other countries...... Not to be discussed.

The second is the Marine Corps, which has high hopes, with a strength of about two platoons, fifty people, all equipped with lightweight exoskeletons and electromagnetic guns, which are very futuristic and technological. Because of the more training, the momentum on his body is stronger, and Guri is also satisfied.

According to An Feng's conception, the Marine Corps is a force with a practical role, while the nature of other branches of the military is mostly a façade, and it is not of much use to fight a war or something. The Marines are capable, but war is not a matter of a few dozen people, and once it happens, it still has to draw cards.

As a field marshal, An Feng disbanded the army after giving some encouragement.

Guri said: "The effect is okay, right? The Marines are an absolute wonder weapon when used to fight terrorism! ”

An Feng said: "But the world is peaceful here, and I am afraid that war will not be encountered in a lifetime." Terrorist activities, we don't provoke people, and it's very difficult. ”

Guri sighed, he also knew the truth.

An Feng looked at him and encouraged: "But don't worry too much, Switzerland has not been at war for more than a hundred years, and it doesn't return all the soldiers?" Whether there is war or not does not affect our confidence in developing the military, even if it is to show off and stimulate the surrounding neighbors, what do you say? ”

Guri nodded: "Okay, let's find a place to have a cup of tea and eat some cookies more pleasantly." ”

"Don't be discouraged." An Feng smiled, "I originally wanted to wait for a while, but now I'll show you in advance, there is a good toy." ”

"Toys?"

……

Guri got on the 4×4 military off-road vehicle that Jeep had just designed for the army, and drove from the army base to the road in the direction of the Ann's industrial base.

The mystery was soon revealed, and the plane was pushed out of the warehouse.

Guli got out of the car and looked wide-eyed: "A drone with wing-body fusion?" ”

"That's right." An Feng said that in front of him was a triangular drone, which was very post-modern.

"When was it developed?" Guri was curious.

"Five or six years ago, progress was slow." An Feng didn't explain too much, "Let's take a closer look at it, this guy is equipped with a variable-cycle engine that can adjust the engine duct through guò, so as to improve different flight states and speeds, save fuel and fly fast." ”

"I know the variable cycle, but it's not big, how much faster? What about the range? ”

It seems that there is also an understanding, An Feng omitted the basics: "The fastest speed test can reach Mach 5, the range is limited by the volume, about 1200 kilometers, the fuel-saving mode is farther, and the auxiliary fuel tank is 2000 kilometers, but the range is not important, this is a small country." ”

"You mean, it's very combat-capable?" Guri said.

"Now every big country is showing off its sixth-generation aircraft, and I, a small country, can only point it directly." An Feng said, "It does not carry a lot of ammunition, at most four medium-range air-to-air or air-to-ground, or six infrared combat bombs." The advantage is that it can take off with a runway of 300 meters, and the catapult take-off distance is shorter. ”

"It can also be used to defend the country."

"Actually, I'm using it for more fun purposes, like simulated air combat games."

Guli was stunned, developed such a beautiful plane, just to play games?

"Didn't you say it's boring?" An Feng looked at him.

"Okay, I've got you." Guri was no longer able to complain, "Then tell me, does it have the ability to participate in air combat?" ”

An Feng said: "Let's take a look at the simulated confrontation of the computer first, after you and I learn to drive, you can also participate in the confrontation with the machine qì people, or everyone confrontation." ”

They returned to the humble command headquarters...... In fact, it is a real yàn room of An's industry, which has a large screen three meters high, showing images outside the airport, and only a few employees in the real yàn room are busy in front of the computer, after An Feng sat down, the aircraft test began.

The triangular drone accelerates on the runway and takes off into the sky.

Five minutes later, the second drone took off into the sky, and the large screen was divided into three areas, the left was the main visual of the first plane, the middle was a variety of monitoring, and the right was the second plane. The middle number jù shows that they are about a hundred kilometers apart, and the match begins.

"The whole process is controlled by the computer." An Feng said to Guri, "But their combat thinking is no less than that of humans. ”

Guri stared at the screen, and the latter one, that is, the second plane, took the initiative to attack, it turned on the radar and began to scan the surrounding aircraft, because a hundred kilometers, whether it is the naked eye or the camera on the plane, the opponent is completely invisible, and the radar is the key.

As for the No. 1 aircraft, the radar is kept off, and when the No. 2 scans it, the passive radar of the No. 1 aircraft gives an early warning, and it immediately selects an anti-radiation missile and launches it -- the target is aimed at a target that emits a strong radar radiation wave from a distance. The second plane, which was the first to attack, was pursued by missiles.

"It's not safe to turn on radar!" Guri said.

"Not necessarily." An Feng said.

After the No. 1 aircraft launched the anti-radiation missile, the No. 2 fire control radar locked on the No. 1 aircraft, and the air-to-air missile was launched.

The anti-radiation missile came to the vicinity of aircraft No. 2 and was visible to the naked eye. Unit 2 immediately released a signal jamming bomb and performed a set of evasive maneuvers at the same time. The missile that pursued the second machine was jammed, hit the decoy target, and showed an explosion, but because it was a simulation, there was no actual warhead.

The anti-radiation missile of the No. 1 aircraft did not hit, but it was always locked by the fire control radar of the No. 2 aircraft, constantly correcting the trajectory of the air-to-air missile...... The overload at that moment reached 13 Gs - enough for an ordinary plane to disintegrate and the pilot to die, but it was a drone!

At that moment, it made the incoming missile unable to keep up with the change in flight direction, and the missile lost its target. The plane's variable-cycle engine was adjusted to accelerate towards the enemy plane, and a second anti-radiation missile was launched, and at the same time, it prepared infrared combat bombs, ready for a close-range fight.

"Wonderful!" Gu Li exclaimed, he originally thought that a certain side would definitely be destroyed, but he didn't expect that the thinking of the machine qì people had been so delicate that it was so delicate.

An Feng said: "So I said that this is a very fun air combat game, and the opponent is of nightmare difficulty. (To be continued......)
