The "Feather Arrow" missile can be filled with 640 liters of fuel, and the endurance reaches 22 minutes, and the accurate range is difficult to record, but it is certain that it can still be achieved by striking Japan's Kanto Plain from the Samhan side of the Tsushima Strait. The only reason why this cannot be done is the cost, the cost of a "feather arrow" is almost equal to the cost of a newly modified B4 "ballistic" bomber, but with China in control of air supremacy, it is up to everyone to lay as many eggs as they want in the sky over Japan.

In addition to the high cost of the "Feather Arrow", another weakness is that it has to fill the fuel, place the battery, and fill the compressed air before launch. It is then transported to the degaussing area by a small truck, where the final check is completed, and the missile's flight compass is adjusted to be consistent with the predetermined target orientation in the installed navigation system.

Due to the limited fuel tank, in order to ensure the range and provide enough additional thrust to launch the missile, the "Feather Arrow" needs to use an acceleration device when launching. This acceleration device, manufactured by the Xianyang Arsenal, is a 48-meter-long ramp-like launch frame that uses a steam catapult system. There is a piston slot on the launch frame, and the dumbbell-shaped piston is inserted into the slot during the launch. The missile is placed on a trolley and placed in a piston slot, which is fitted with a safety pin so that the missile does not slide out. At the time of launch, a dumbbell-shaped piston propels the cart forward quickly and launches the missile.

The launch system on board includes a reaction chamber and two chemical tanks. The chemical tank contains hydrogen peroxide (HO) and potassium permanganate (KMnO4) particle catalysts, respectively, and the reaction chamber is connected to the tail end of the piston tank at the bottom of the launch frame by guò tubes. During launch, the extracted hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate react in the reaction chamber to produce a large amount of hot steam, which exerts a large air pressure on the bottom of the piston. When a certain amount of pressure accumulates, it will push the piston to move quickly to send the missile projectile out. The V-1 could reach speeds of up to 400 km / h when leaving the launch pad. When fired, the piston will be thrown to the ground nearby, and the trolley will be thrown to the side. After launch, the launch rack must be cleaned by a staff wearing protective suits, as the residue sputtered during launch is highly corrosive.

Because of this, Sa Zhen Bing Sa Lao still felt a little unbelievable about Wu Chenxuan's idea of the missile fleet that Wu Chenxuan had just described for half an hour, uh, in fact, he felt unreliable. "Soza, you mean that when our warships are equipped with feathered missiles, the role of the main guns and armor will be reduced, and we will be able to carry out lethal attacks on the enemy outside the range of the enemy's firepower, thus gaining an asymmetric advantage. Am I right? ”

"What Sa Lao said is extremely true, this is exactly the direction of the development of our navy, and the largest warship we can use in the future is the battle cruiser, and as for the super battleship of more than 30,000 tons, it is a big target in front of missiles."

"But as far as I know, this kind of missile is not only troublesome and expensive to launch, but also extremely inaccurate, so you can't rely on probability like a swarm of bees."

"Hehe, Sa Lao, your worries are right, but you will see, we have actually developed the second generation of missiles, although we still need to carry out pre-war fuel filling, but the range and cost have been much better than the "Feather Arrow" missile, in addition to our scientific and technological breakthroughs in microcontrol systems and microcircuits, we have been able to achieve the middle and end of the missile's guidance, the actual hit rate has exceeded the most accurate naval artillery, and even if the enemy is in a high-speed maneuver, it is difficult to avoid the missile's accurate hit. Coupled with the combination of high-energy charges and armor-piercing warheads, even the rough-skinned South Carolina class can't survive 3 hits in front of it. ”

"In this case, then we should adjust the development thinking of the navy, the original flying and fast diving is the practice of the coastal defensive navy, the blue water navy still has to take the road of strong ships and guns, without large-scale ships, it is difficult for our navy to go out." Although Sa Zhenbing can accept Wu Chenxuan's missile winning theory, his preference for giant ships still makes him want to add some big toys to the navy.

"Of course, large warships are necessary, and the tonnage share we have won is still very sufficient, and at present our navy is only about 140,000 tons, and if it weren't for two cement aircraft carriers, we wouldn't even be able to win 200,000 tons. However, the cement aircraft carrier has been abandoned, and I think we can consider starting construction of two 20,000-ton aircraft carriers and four 20,000-ton battle cruisers to form the backbone of the two ocean-going fleets, and then gradually expand and complete. Personnel are our shortcomings, and I would like to establish a large-scale naval comprehensive academy in Qingdao or Lianyungang in terms of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and focus on cultivating naval command and technical personnel who can adapt to new warships. Except for two of the four warships that we replaced, which were to be used as the collection of the Naval Museum and the Military Museum, the others were transferred to the Naval Academy for teaching purposes. Other teachers, funds, policies and other aspects will give full support. I would like to ask you to preside over the preparatory work of the school and serve as the first principal, I don't know what Sa Lao thinks? ”

"The Führer is wrong in love, and the old man dares not to serve death." As soon as Sa Zhenbing heard that he could become the founding patriarch of the Chinese Naval Academy, his joy naturally did not need to be mentioned, and he admired the general seat's inclusive open-mindedness, and he was no longer worried that the generals of the Fujian system would not end. However, he didn't know that Wu Chenxuan's idea of the Naval Academy was completely different from Sa Zhenbing's Royal Navy faction studying in the UK.

Seeing off the enthusiastic Sa Lao, Wu Chenxuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and being able to use Sa Lao's fame to unite China's few naval talents and serve the new type of naval education can be regarded as a matter of Wu Chenxuan's heart. Deng Xianxian witnessed Sa Lao's anger coming to the sky, and left happily, and was greatly impressed by the boss's ability to turn things upside down.

In the armament center of the Admiralty, a large guy was lying quietly in the warehouse, waiting for the upcoming sea survey. The new missile provided by Project 799, nicknamed "Harpoon", uses a liquid-fueled rocket engine and a solid-fuel booster rocket, has a range of only 35 kilometers, a missile speed of Mach 0.9, and an attack range that does not exceed the flight altitude of the water antenna, and is maintained at about 150-300 meters by a barometric altimeter. The first surface ship equipped is a Mackerel-class missile speedboat modified from a Swordfish-class Fish-Ray Speedboat, with four Fish-Ray Mine Tubes removed, and two launchers installed on both sides of the upper command cabin, equipped with a simplified version of the R02 Sea Fire Control Radar and a standard Type 1453 optical sight. The "Harpoon" missile is actively radar-guided, and it can search for targets on its own within the horizon, so the launcher only needs to use fire control radar or optical sight to aim before launch.

In fact, those who actually do not know that this seemingly crude missile is not only a long-range anti-ship missile, but also a high-performance sea-based cruise missile, and it is the first model of a series of cruise missiles, which can be transformed and upgraded as needed in the future. Later, many military experts held that a comprehensive examination of the overall design level of the "Harpoon" missile showed that its actual performance may be far more than the figures disclosed by China, because what has been announced to the outside world is the performance of the export-oriented missile, and the missiles equipped by the Chinese National Defense Forces themselves are likely to have a lot of advanced technology. Its cylindrical body, straight main wings, boosters, and belly air intakes are all reminiscent of a scaled-down version of an airplane.

The Harpoon anti-ship missile is launched by igniting a solid rocket booster in the tail until the jet engine is working normally. The active radar seeker will search for the nearest and largest targets, and then conduct a question and answer of the identification signal of friend or foe, if it does not receive an accurate radio signal match, it will turn on the attack mode, select the target selected by the logic circuit for gliding and dive attack, equipped with a 450-kilogram armor-piercing blasting warhead equipped with a time-delay fuse, enough for a non-capital warship of less than 8,000 tons to bury at the bottom of the sea, even a thick-skinned battleship can not withstand the attack of four or five Harpoon missiles.

In fact, in the 799 project, the "Harpoon" is not the most advanced achievement, but it uses more mature technology, and the comprehensive performance and purchase price are more appropriate. When China's missile family is on board the ship, it will be the arrival of the third era of great changes in the world's navies. The British, American, and Japanese, who were celebrating the signing of the agreement on the limitation of naval armaments in Washington, believing that they could maintain their naval superiority by virtue of tonnage limitations, would find that their huge warships, which had devoured most of their military spending, had been reduced to rubbish in the garbage, and their only purpose was to give spiritual solace to the cannon-giants.

At this time, Japan was desperately raising funds to replace the four capital ships sunk by China, and the sequelae of the almost collapse caused by China's air strikes made Japan's air force development almost to the point of pathology. Japan was the second to establish an independent air force, the Imperial Japanese Air Defense Force, after China. This is a mixed armed force that is integrated into destroyers, antiaircraft artillery, antiaircraft machine guns, and searchlight units, and their main task is to ensure the security of territorial air defense. In this way, in the eyes of the people, the Japanese Army, which has been repeatedly defeated in wars, has become the target of reduction, and there are no colonies anyway, and it is useless to keep these red deer, so it is better to reduce and save military spending. The number of the Japanese Army was reduced from 18 standing divisions to 10 standing divisions, such as the 19th and 20th Divisions formed in Korea, which were cut with a knife, but the most unreliable 4th Division was retained with the banknotes of merchants in the Osaka area, so that the 19th and 22 officers and soldiers who had been fighting bloodily in the first line of the three Koreas were scorned.

However, under the secret guidance and support of the Chinese, Kolchak's White Russian Provisional Government generously took out real money to hire retrenched army soldiers in Japan, 3,500 yen settling-in allowance, 500 yen monthly attendance allowance, 200 yen per day battlefield duty reward, 300 yen per hour battle bonus, enemy annihilation reward, prisoner reward, and death compensation one by one, making many army red deer cry a handful of snot and tears, and the brothers who returned to Kudanzaka for the emperor's soul died in vain. The empire is just too mean.

Soon when China's Northern Military Region began to withdraw its troops, the Red Russia was surprised to find that in the puppet army of the White Russia, which was almost the captain of the transport brigade, there was an Asian-faced mercenary army, skilled combat skills, accurate marksmanship, and the magic of the grenadier and Type 01 infantry guns, the most surprising thing was that these small mercenaries who charged against Ula actually used white-knuckle combat to beat the Red Russian army, which was twice as large as their own number, without hesitation. Five or six strong men could not defeat the three mercenaries in a small circle, and between the advance and retreat, one by one the old hairy men were pierced into blood gourds, and the red Russians who fled from the wolf bèi remembered the only slogan in the mouth of this dull mercenary army, "Half a load". The reputation of the Half-Loaded Army has a tendency to overpower the king of Irkutsk. The official explanation is that the mercenaries in transit are all transiting through the country with visas as tourists, and China has no reason to refuse entry to tourists who enter the country legally without weapons, and as for how they obtained a large number of Japanese-style equipment and ammunition, it is purely a secret of the Ministry of Equipment. The senior general of the Wehrmacht, who knew about the incident in private, commented on the matter with three words: "dog eats dog".
