"The speed of F4 equipment may be slower, after all, our air superiority is not yet challenged by that country." Yang Shihai said, Wei Lihuang and Yin Chengzong both nodded. It is also a fact that although France and Britain have quite large fighter groups through World War I, most of them are F1 fighters born from the Swift or Swift, and the performance is inferior to the F3 Eagle, and the Camel F1 used by the United States and Britain is completely imitated from the F2 "Harrier Eagle" fighter that is not installed in the Chinese Air Force, but at the arms conference after the Paris Peace Conference, China exchanged the technology and patent transfer of this aircraft for the right to import some of Germany's steel processing and optical equipment and skilled workers. In addition, there are some secret deals in the navy, anyway, no one in the three countries will care about the idea of those gangsters, and even the bulls and cows feel that if the third largest navy is allowed to wander in the Far East, it is better to find him an opponent to rest assured.

If China continues to speed up the pace of equipment renewal, it will inevitably give other countries the impression that China is actively preparing for war, and provoking an arms race in the air force is not what China's current economic situation and diplomatic environment require. Wei Lihuang and Yin Chengzong are now paying more attention to personnel training and base building in the construction of the air force, and without a huge reserve of pilots and the construction of a high-quality professional contingent of aircraft and field service and logistics, even if they have the best equipment and pilots, the Chinese Air Force is a one-time air force that is strong in the outside and capable in the middle. In the two years after the First World War, Linyi Aviation School, Shenyang Aviation School, Bengbu Aviation School and Changde Aviation School were all expanding, and the flying clubs in various provinces have also become the places to recruit new people and recruit new people for standard civil aviation. A large number of swifts were decommissioned or converted into agricultural aircraft to spray pesticides and fertilizers, or became postal planes, which traveled to and from major civil airports in various places, delivered air express mail, and a large number of half-sold and half-sold to Belarus as equipment for the Belarusian Air Force. In addition to a small number of two-seater Swift-3 training aircraft, the Swift has basically disappeared from the flight team, and now the main fighter is the fourth phase of the F3 Eagle improved F3-D, although the speed has improved, but the range has become shorter, this modification is basically determined to be the last improved version of the Eagle, and then the F3 will also gradually retire from active service, become a strategic reserve or be handed over to the standard equipment company to deal with.

The F4 Warhawk is the only single-wing fully enclosed fighter in the world today, and with a large increase in range, the weight of the fuselage is almost three times that of the young eagle, and there has been a breakthrough in speed and weaponry. Therefore, after the standard air force received the equipment, it began to study new tactics and new training programs, which also made many old pilots who were accustomed to slow dog fighting need to return to the furnace and learn new tactical theories. However, with more than 2,000 fighters in 16 fighter wings, 8 bomber wings and 6 support aircraft wings, Wei Yu still felt a little lonely when he drew his sword and looked around, although this idea was very unbeatable. But then...

"Recently, Commander Feng was going to set up a Hainan Airlines, and he pulled two wings of pilots from me, all of whom were good at participating in the European War, hey, brother, I feel distressed? But I just point to you to call the shots for our Air Force. When it came to the pilot's reserves, Wei Lihuang suddenly remembered that he was stabbed by Feng Rufeng's eldest brother, and he was distressed to death. Yin Chengzong next to him only pouted, and said in his heart Where are you distressed, I finally sent out a group of old, weak, sick and thorny heads, and made room for newcomers, or this year can recruit nearly 1,000 rookies, isn't it because of the establishment of Hainan Airlines and the massive blood loss of the flight team, the money of the boss is blown by the wind?

However, Yang Shihai's face became a little exciting, as if he was a little ashamed and a little gloating, anyway, he didn't understand. "That, that, Mr. Wei, why don't you continue to see the new equipment introduction below?" Wei Lihuang was excited, and this voice of Mr. Wei made him feel a little ominous. Is there another woe?

"Well, the A1 "Howling Eagle" attack aircraft, with a crew of 2 people, a length of 11 meters, a wingspan of 13.8 meters, a height of 4.23 meters, an empty weight of 3,205 kilograms, a maximum take-off weight of 5,000 kilograms, a maximum flight speed of 390 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 500 kilometers, and the engine adopts the "Ground Brake" 211D engine. Isn't this fighter a little outdated? "After looking at the excellent performance of the F4, and then looking at this kind of monoplane fighter that looks solid, I always feel a little backward, and the range of 500 kilometers is too short, is it as a front-line fighter, then this performance is almost a bit outrageous compared to F4." One 12.7 mm heading machine gun, one 12.7 mm rear-firing self-defense machine gun, two pod-type 25 mm guns, capable of carrying 250Kg ammunition. This weapon configuration seems to be at odds with air combat, and as a bomber, it is inferior to the B4, and such an aircraft can be regarded as a chicken rib in the flight team. ”

"Team Yang, this plane doesn't seem to be for our air team, right? Is it HNA again? Wei Lihuang rolled his eyes, could it be that he was going to transfer people to HNA again.

"You're right, this is really not for the air force, this is specially allocated for the army aviation." Yang Shihai's words shocked Wei Lihuang and Yin Chengzong, what's the matter, it doesn't count if you make a Hainan Airlines, and there is also Lu Airlines, we simply changed the name to Air Airlines, is this still alive? However, theoretically speaking, the standard air force is actually an employee of a standard enterprise, so how dare they not listen to the words of the big boss Wu Boss? After reading the preparation plan for the construction of the army aviation handed over by Yang Shihai, I made up my mind, but it is a shelf that draws three to four wings, and the front-line pilots and technicians are recruited from private clubs, and the main combat equipment is this stupid and simple A1 "Howling Eagle" attack aircraft and C2 "Tianma" transport aircraft, although it is also one of the main transport aircraft of the air force, but compared to the equipment that will not be transferred from the air force to the army aviation, although the air force has to transfer a lot of people, but the loss of front-line manpower is not large. Instead, give them a chance to improve. Then the three of them deliberated for a while, and felt that it would be more appropriate to convene another general meeting of all wing commanders in the standard air force to decide on the diversion and the new equipment arrangement.

After sending Wei Lihuang and Yin Chengzong away, Yang Shihai sat at the table, looked at the army's new equipment manual, and smiled bitterly in his heart for a while, this is the big head. However, looking at the technical parameters of these new equipment, I believe that the commanders of the following group armies, from the General Staff to the following, will support the redress, after all, the advanced nature of these equipment is there. In the afternoon, the General Staff Officer took Du Zicheng, Lan Tianwei, Wu Ziyu, He Xingtian and their deputies to the conference room of the General Armament Department, and the conference room was full of stars. But now their eyes were attracted by the photos and introductions of the new equipment on the projector, and the light in their eyes was more dazzling than the general star on their shoulders.

This is the "Hound Dog" tank, the "Morning Glory" self-propelled artillery, and the "Ambusher" destroyer, all of which use a unified territory and power plant, which is versatile and convenient for large-scale equipment and maintenance. Vehicles with multiple tactical functions can cooperate with each other to maximize the surprise effect of armored forces. ”

The "Hound Dog" tank adopts a large number of welded structures, adopts new structural components, has good rigidity of the hull, welded armor and comes with external armor couplings, and can be attached with a large inclination angle of high carbon steel-ceramic composite armor kit, and the anti-armor piercing ability is enough to resist all current tank guns and anti-aircraft guns below 75 mm. Weifang Diesel Airport's Minfeng 700 type 150 horsepower diesel engine as the power, crew 4 people, length 4.61 meters, width 2.14 meters, height 2.4 meters, weight 9.5 tons, maximum road speed of 50 km / h, maximum range of 300 km, main armament 57 mm 12 times diameter tank gun (88 rounds of spare ammunition, half armor-piercing shells, high explosive shells), auxiliary weapons for 2 7.62 mm machine guns (coaxial machine gun and co-pilot course machine gun), and a 12.7 mm flat-height dual-purpose machine gun. ”

"Morning Glory" self-propelled gun, crew of 4 people (commander, communicator, driver, gunner) with the same territory and dimensions as the "Hound Dog" tank, weight 12.5 tons, maximum road speed 45 km / h, maximum range 250 km. The main armament is a 105mm howitzer or a 150mm heavy infantry gun, and the secondary armament is a 7.62mm machine gun. The Ambusher destroyer, with its fixed turret, is more cost-effective than the Hound tank, and its proven chassis avoids the mechanical reliability problems encountered by most armored vehicles. The vehicle has 60mm thick front armor that slopes back 60 degrees from the vertical plane (the protection is equivalent to 120mm thick vertical armor), the armor protection is better than the tank destroyer modified from the chassis of the earlier watchtower tank, and is equipped with a main gun with appropriate firepower, good mechanical reliability, small body profile and easy to conceal, and the cost is also very low. The main armament is the 75mm long-barreled tank gun. ”

Duan Qirui and the commanders of several major armies were all in love with these kinds of armor, but when the slides continued to change, they realized that there seemed to be more than that. The artillerymen also got new toys, in addition to the L21 105mm light howitzer and the L12 75mm pack-mounted howitzer (mountain gun), which have begun to equip the troops in small batches, and added a big killer: the L22 155mm howitzer, this 5-and-a-half-ton heavy gun requires a special diesel tractor to tow it, but its maximum range of 14,600 meters and muzzle velocity of 563.9 m/s make it strong enough. The barrel of the gun has 48 rifling wires, the rifling is 25 times the caliber length, and it is equipped with grenades, anti-personnel submunitions, smoke bombs, flare flares, and can also fire chemical shells. There are also Type 24 107mm rocket launchers, new 60mm light mortars, 81mm mortars and 120 heavy mortars.

Looking at the thick stack of manuals below, several army bigwigs looked at each other, it seems that Lao Yang has returned, and the General Armament Department is about to make a big difference. Several of them are all veteran generals in the army, how can they not know that this is a good opportunity to play with equipment and grab supplies, and there will be no such store after this village.
