Chapter 137: Can't wake up the man who pretends to be asleep
With the official launch of the sanctions embargo and the initiative to contact the national government, it hopes to strengthen military assistance and cooperation between the two countries. Hu Biao, who is also a partner of the United States, has also received more support from the United States military.
In order to find out the performance and actual combat effectiveness of the Japanese Zero fighters, the Meniah military also wanted to capture one or two Zero fighters in order to provide a technical reference for the later development of new fighters. But no one expected that this information would be quickly collected by Hu Biao.
Seeing the performance parameters of the fighter sent by Brooke personally, the Meniah colonial army stationed in Luzon was also shocked: "This information is confirmed to be true?" In terms of the level of aircraft research and development of the Fuso people, how can it be so much better than us? ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, have you forgotten that the performance of the old fighters of the Fuso people is not much worse than ours. When we collect the performance of their new fighters, do you think the Fuso people will not collect the performance parameters of our fighters? ”
Cooperation is cooperation, beware is beware, and both Fuso and the Menia military know this well. Calling for the general in charge of the air force, the experienced general immediately said: "If everything is true, then we are afraid that we are really in trouble!" ”
"Intelligence sources can be trusted! Because the intelligence officers who collect this information themselves live near the aircraft factory. In order to collect this information, Hu's intelligence group paid a lot of money. Fake, isn't it interesting? ”
As a merchant, Brooke was well aware that the generals of the military wanted to equip them with new warplanes, but they could not apply to Congress for more military spending. Under such circumstances, how can aircraft manufacturers be willing to spend a lot of money on the research and development of new fighters?
In the eyes of many generals and aircraft manufacturers, the fighters they are currently serving are relatively good advanced fighters in Asia and even in the world. As long as other countries do not introduce new fighters, the fighters they are currently in service are fully sufficient.
No one expected that the Japanese Zero fighters would be equipped with troops so quickly, and even as soon as they were equipped with troops, they would give priority to equipping their most elite naval aviation. This means that Menia's air force can fight each other at any time.
After confirming that the source of the information was true, some generals still shook their heads and said: "If you can capture a prototype, it may be more convincing!" ”
In response to such an answer, Brooke also said directly: "If you want to seize the prototype, it is undoubtedly impossible at present. Unless the Japanese are equipped with naval aviation planes, they will fly to the southwest to carry out air strikes, and then we will try to shoot down one.
At this point, Mr. Hu has made it clear that his flight unit will not participate in the lift-off operation in the early stage. In fact, he is already thinking of a way to start modifying the original fighter on the basis of the original fighter. If he is not modified, he will not fight easily! ”
"He even has the strength to modify fighters now?"
"Nope! In fact, many materials and engines must be purchased from our country. But I know that he has a lot of blueprints for new fighters. He wanted to test it to see if the performance of the new fighter could stand up to the Japanese Zero.
Before he came, he told me that if you don't think you can be trusted, then wait a little longer, and when our air force actually fights the Zero, I believe you will change your mind. It's just that those pilots will never come back!
Another point is that if we want to buy the blueprints of a new fighter designed by him, then we will have to pay a high price. If the cooperation is started now, he is willing to use the blueprints to obtain a certain number of physical fighters, and will not take our money! ”
"How dare he think about it! Could it be that he still wants our aircraft manufacturers to produce new fighters for free? ”
"Why can't it be? General Tom, if the Zero is as good as intelligence, what will happen to our pilots when our planes take off? In addition to the loss of a large number of fighters, there were also a large number of elite pilots.
Could it be that in your eyes, a fighter that can compete with the Zero is really just a few drawings? Although I don't know much about military affairs, I at least know what will happen to our troops if they lose air supremacy! ”
As the first heir of the new giant family of Menia, Brooke is really not very afraid in front of these generals. really annoyed him, these generals who speak cool words, he can also transfer them from his current post through family relations.
Seeing Brooke, who seemed to be very angry, the other generals also hurriedly comforted him, but Brooke was still very unhappy and said: "As a general sent by Menia to Luzon, I have always admired you, because you have defended Menia's honor.
But I really can't imagine that you would only be for your own selfish interests, and would rather let our pilots take risks than believe the top-secret information that others have exchanged for their lives. I know you'll think I'm speaking for you.
Well, I'll personally send you the information you want, believe it or not, just analyze it yourself. In the future, if you still need me to do things for you in the future, then ask the Congress to issue a document! Otherwise, I wouldn't be doing such a stupid thing.
Secondly, if you ignore this information and cause a large number of fighter pilots to die in the future, I will also find someone to hold you accountable for your dereliction of duty. In order to let Hu provide those few drawings, I already feel very sorry for him, but you don't cherish it! ”
Leaving that aside, Brooke ignored the feel-good colonial generals. Brooke, who had been to Dagon, suddenly felt that not only Dagon's colonial army had lost its fighting spirit, but also Menia's colonial army.
In this case, once the Japanese army launched an attack on the Luzon garrison, the attitude of these generals was bound to suffer a great loss. At this moment, Brooke finally understood why after the signing of the non-aggression pact between the Soviet Union and Japan, Hu Biao immediately started the relocation of Nanyang.
The reason is that from beginning to end, Hu Biao is very clear that Menia's army is also negative and too confident in armament. Compared with Fuso, which has a strong navy and advanced fighters, as well as a large number of army with actual combat experience, there is indeed a big gap between Menia and May.
As Hu Biao said with a smile, sometimes a few words can't wake up a person who pretends to be asleep. Only by striking hard once will the person who pretends to be asleep clean it up. And the Luzon garrison at this time is undoubtedly the one who pretends to be asleep!
At present, the fighters that Hu Biao purchased from Meinia are basically the Wildcat fighters that Meinia appeared. This fighter is inferior to the Japanese Zero fighter more often than not, and it must learn to cooperate with the Zero fighter.
In a one-on-one situation, the Wildcat fighter has a high probability of being shot down against the Zero fighter. At this stage, when pilots of various countries fight in the air, they often fly alone to catch and tear each other. The consequences can be imagined!
As for some of the means of dealing with the Zero fighter, Hu Biao did not disclose it to the Meniah army. In Hu Biao's view, if these arrogant Menenian troops are not allowed to suffer, they will always feel superior.
The blueprints of the new fighter are actually a Hellcat fighter that the Menia military suffered enough in the later period and redesigned and improved. In fact, no matter which fighter, Hu Biao actually looked down on it, because these fighters were too slow.
At present, all countries produce and improve new fighters, without exception, propeller fighters. And Hu Biao knows very well that future fighters will focus on jet fighters. Propeller fighters, most of which can only appear in helicopters.
Relying on aircraft research and development experts recruited from Europe, Hu Biao's military scientific research center is also conducting research on jet engines. Once progress is made, it is believed that the day of a test flight of the fighter will not be too far away.
But at this stage, Hu Biao doesn't want to invest too much money in researching propeller fighters. If a few drawings can be exchanged for some free-to-use fighter jets and equipment, Hu Biao will also feel very satisfied.
Of course, if the aircraft manufacturer of Meinia was willing to pay a high price for these drawings, Hu Biao would not refuse. After all, it didn't take much time for him to draw these drawings. If someone pays for it, why not sell it?
Even with the Han-style Type 1 rifle that has been mass-produced in the arsenal, Hu Biao is not fully equipped with the troops. Except for the 1st Division and the Special Operations Brigade commanded by Qin Tianyou, only a small number of guard units were equipped with this new semi-automatic rifle.
When the war starts in the southwest, Hu Biao will also redress the troops below one after another. If you want to change your clothes, you must change your clothes one division at a time. There are free weapons to use right now, and they perform well, so why not use them?
In the future, I believe that some neighboring countries should also be willing to pay for the weapons that have been obsolete. Hu Biao still knows the truth of being diligent and thrifty. And in the current situation, it is not appropriate to expose too much of its own scientific research strength.
After receiving the telegram sent back by Brooke, and even expressing his apology in the telegram, Hu Biao also smiled and said: "This Brooke seems to be also a patriotic young man!" But in the eyes of those generals, he was just a reckless boy with good luck.
Inform the aircraft manufacturers to make every effort to modify our new fighters, and first improve the communication system and weapon system. In addition, all flight groups were ordered to increase tactical grouping training in the near future and wait for orders at any time! ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
I know that many fighters at this stage, if they want to communicate with the fighter next to them, more often they can only cooperate through gestures or tacit understanding. Recently, the military research institute has developed a new type of intercom, which can carry out exchanges and dialogues at a certain distance.
Equipped with this new type of intercom, Hu Biao believes that pilots will also be more convenient when implementing tactical grouping. As the commander's pilot aircraft, it can also command other fighters in the formation at any time and cooperate with other fighters in tactical cooperation.
There are also technologies such as fighter night vision devices, which Hu Biao collected and purchased through the intelligence group, and at the same time asked the scientific research unit to be responsible for public relations. Again, as long as you are willing to spend effort and money to research, sooner or later there will be results.
Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and Hu Biao has heard this countless times in his previous life. In this era, there is finally a stable territory and a certain degree of industrial system, so these corresponding scientific research units will naturally be prepared.
As for the need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, Hu Biao doesn't want to make any money at this stage, but more for self-protection. Without the support of a strong military, everything you have at present may come to naught at any time!
