Chapter 342: A Light to the Sun
Messerschmidt quickly opened his eyes.
He said with a wry smile, "Your Excellency, I have to say that your proposal is really a good idea, but it is a little bad, it is too wasteful of money, due to the problem of processing, the price of a small turbojet engine is not much worse than a fighter."
"However, when it comes to actual power, I'm afraid it's not as practical as a 105mm field artillery, and the cannon can fire more than a dozen shells in a minute."
"This kind of small turbojet engine, the difficulty of processing, is also very challenging, even the best arsenal in Germany, do not dare to take orders to manufacture, because the scrap rate is too high, of course, the turbojet engine itself is difficult to manufacture, otherwise the turbojet fighter, will not have appeared so far."
Liu Yicheng didn't care about the professor's worries, he had an ant robot in hand, as long as he could design it, he could make it.
He smiled a little proudly, "This kind of rocket, of course, is not used to hit infantry, let's just say that your country's anti-aircraft gun, an 88 mm anti-aircraft gun, only in terms of price, is not lower than a 150 mm field artillery, but when it comes to the actual effect, it doesn't seem to be very good, and with the development of fighter technology, which pilot will be stupid enough to touch the anti-aircraft gun."
"These two issues are not the same thing at all."
Messerschmitt also smiled a little bitterly, but what Liu Yicheng meant, he also figured out that this special "rocket" is specially used to destroy enemy fighters, and it is best to use a rocket to solve an enemy plane.
Not to mention the value of fighters, pilots alone are priceless.
Moreover, as the size of the aircraft grows larger, the more space from the wings to the fuselage, if you want to arrange weapon hardpoints, it can be increased to 11 or 13, except for the auxiliary fuel tank and machine gun positions, how can you set up six or seven rocket hardpoints, if you can achieve one enemy plane, one squadron of fighters, it is enough to shoot down a wing of enemy aircraft.
I have to say, the effect is simply catastrophic.
Professor Messerschmidt shrugged his shoulders, he was persuaded by Liu Yicheng, but he also asked Major General Liu to agree that if this rocket was successfully developed, he wanted to give it to his home country Germany for free, because no matter where he went, he was always a German scientist.
"Science knows no borders, but scientists have their own homeland".
Liu Yun naturally doesn't mind too much, because Professor Messerschmidt can come to China to conduct research, which is originally a product of Sino-German cooperation, not to mention that the professor himself is the leading researcher of new rockets, and when the project research is successful, it is normal for people to want to give back to his motherland.
A person who can be loyal to his heart and his feelings is a person who has truly achieved something, because only such a person can be loyal to his own career, loyal to his own scientific research, and finally able to pick the fruits of the science and technology tree.
While promising Messerschmidt, Major General Liu also put forward his own views.
That is, to walk on two legs, first of all, do not give up the traditional rocket, strive to improve the range and accuracy of the rocket, and at the same time speed up the development of a new type of rocket - in his opinion, the development of this rocket is not a bad thing, just use it to verify the turbojet engine, but also the development of jet fighters in disguise.
As for the processing of the new rocket, there is no need to think about it at all.
There are skilled craftsmen in Huaxia, and it may be a little difficult to manufacture them on a large scale like in Europe and the United States, but if you want to produce hundreds of rockets a year, there is still no big problem, and if you can kill hundreds of enemy planes with this, it will really make a lot of money.
Huaxia's skilled craftsmen, such as the Ouyang brothers of the Hanyang Arsenal, are already well-known talents, and even Messerschmidt, who is far away in Germany, has heard of these two strange people, so he has not much objection to Liu Yicheng's statement, on the contrary, there is a deep expectation.
Major General Liu wanted to say something more.
For example, the early missiles of another time and space, what kind of heat source guidance, inertial guidance, wired guidance, and magnetic guidance, etc., were all taken out to discuss with the professor, but the words retracted when they came to his mouth, because he himself seemed to understand whether he understood or not, not to mention that Professor Messerschmidt was also busy and had heavy tasks.
If you talk nonsense and cause the professor to collapse, the gains outweigh the losses.
Subsequently, with the help of Zhi Brain, Liu Yicheng improved the Soviet-German joint rocket, the new rocket body is 2.1 meters long, 0.132 meters in diameter, the effective range is 11.3 kilometers, the weight of the bomb is 48.7 kilograms, and the accuracy is also slightly improved, and the deviation of the bullet point is 120-200 meters.
At present, only air-launched rockets have been produced, because the expedition to Shijiazhuang is imminent, and the only ones that can be transformed in a hurry are fighter planes that launch rockets.
What's more, air-launched rockets have only been tested in a virtual fantasy world, and whether they can be applied to air combat still needs to be proved in actual combat, with the help of ant robots, more than 800 are produced at one time, and each fighter can hang 6, which is enough for the Shijiazhuang Fighter Brigade to use for a while.
The transportation of these rockets was also very simple, and the Feihong military transport plane first flew them from the secret airfield in western Sichuan to the Zhengzhou military airfield, and then transferred to a special military train and secretly transported them to the field airfield in Shijiazhuang.
When everything was done, Liu Yicheng was ready to leave, but before going out, he went to the Xingling Courtyard as usual and asked Sun Mingyue, the chief of the gods, about the hexagram.
The three coins fell to the ground, all in an upright shape, like dragon scales.
For such a rare hexagram, the bright moon fairy was a little worried, it seemed that the result of this divination, a little unexpected, she muttered for a long time, and then explained with a little hesitation, "The black clouds are crushing the city and want to destroy it, and the light of the armor is open to the sun."
What kind of thing is this, it seems to be a certain Tang poem?
Divination can also account for Tang poems, Liu Yicheng is also a little funny, but he knows one thing, at this time, he must not laugh, once he laughs, his good image in Mingyue's heart is guaranteed to plummet.
He had no choice but to pinch his thigh, and asked with a look of crying, "Mingyue, will I be wiped out on this expedition?" ”
"Annihilation?" Fairy Mingyue was also stunned for a moment.
She pondered the hexagram carefully, and couldn't help but smile, so she comforted in time, "It's very good for my junior brother to go here, the content of this hexagram is extremely boring and mysterious, well, although this Tang poem is not obtained by divination, but it is something that I suddenly thought of after seeing the hexagram, this Tang poem should be the most appropriate description of the hexagram this time, but there is no sign of danger."
Liu Yicheng thought about it in a blink of an eye, and it was right, but it was reasonable.
The first sentence "black clouds overwhelm the city" refers to the overall situation in North China, and the Japanese army in Pingjin is moving south, and there is indeed a feeling that "the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings".
The second sentence "armor to the sun" originally refers to the armor that faces the sun, and also refers to the army, so it can also be interpreted as, "soldiers are not afraid of the sun, but bravely insist on fighting".
As for the "golden scales", it is even more far-reaching.
"Golden scales", in ancient times, is the "dragon" of the synonym, "open" and fake appearance of the "present", Major General Liu remembered that in the book "Fengyun", the mud Bodhisattva once gave Xiongba a hexagram, the so-called "gold scales are not in the pool, when they meet the wind and clouds, they will turn into dragons".
Therefore, the golden scale has the metaphor of the hidden dragon, and the dragon is the symbol of Huaxia, so it is coherent to look at it, it is said that after the battle of Shijiazhuang, there will be a "hidden dragon ascending to heaven" in Huaxia, well, the signs of this hexagram are indeed very good.
However, the matter that Liu Yicheng wanted to ask was still not resolved.
This guy really didn't know how to command the battle, so he was naturally a little panicked in his heart, so Major General Liu had no choice but to ignore his own face, and begged the eldest grandson Mingyue to go out of the mountain to plan for him, of course, if she could take command in person, it would be better.
It is true that the eldest grandson Mingyue is a cultivator, but merit and luck are also very important.
In the 30s of the 20th century, there was no sign of great reunification in the world, but the Japanese devils and Nazi Germany wanted to launch the Second World War, which could naturally be regarded as "going against the sky".
If a cultivator can "conform to the heavens and people, keep the truth and eliminate the false", it is also a great opportunity and great merit, if she is not tempted, it is too hypocritical, but if she dares to go to the red dust, she has to prepare to survive a murder.
It is said that as long as Wuzun does not come out, she should not be in danger of falling.
But the matter is big, the eldest grandson Mingyue had to calculate another hexagram for herself, but she couldn't stand up for the hexagram at all, and suddenly realized that the timing was not right this time, so she had to give up with a wry smile, and then helped Liu Yicheng to make another hexagram to see where the lucky star of this guy was.
This time it is simple and clear, and the hexagram says: "The hidden dragon is in the abyss".
The bright moon fairy was surprised to read as, "Muye Yingyang, 100-year-old Xun is only half a year, Luoyang Tiger Eye, and the wind and rain in all directions will be in Zhongzhou."
This poem made Mingyue a little stunned, as if she didn't understand it.
However, Liu Shao understood that this was the Beiyang warlord boss, Wu Peifu on his fiftieth birthday, Kang Youwei sent him a birthday couplet, touting his life hero, at that time, this guy was also in Luoyang, Zhongzhou, like the sun, and was soon overthrown by the wave of the Northern Expedition.
made Mr. Wu end gloomily, and this couplet became a joke.
Then Liu Yicheng roughly explained Wu Peifu's situation to the eldest grandson Mingyue, and said with a little embarrassment, "This person was originally Cao Kun's subordinate, the word Ziyu, known as Yushuai."
"Yu Shuai's personality, resolute and upright, often regarded as Guan Yu or Yue Fei, not only brave in battle, but also good at training, and later the wind and clouds, the official worship of the two lakes of Lu and Henan, and the commander-in-chief of the 14 provinces to fight the thieves and the commander-in-chief, after the Northern Expedition War, collapsed, and retired in Beiping for a long time."
However, speaking of Wu Peifu, there is still some relationship with the 47th Army of the Sichuan Army.
In 1928, after this guy was hit hard by the Northern Expedition, he personally led the remnants to flee to Sichuan, entrenched in the Yunwu Mountain Lizhu Temple, in May of that year, Li Jiayu and Luo Zezhou led the troops to surround the Lizhu Temple, Wu and his remnants were disarmed, and since then Mr. Wu has faded out of the military and political worlds.
In 1932, Wu Peifu left the city capital and settled in Assorted Gardens in Beiping.
In another time and space, due to the Japanese army pressing forward step by step, Pingjin was in danger, and Mr. Wu served as a senior adviser to the Northern Parallel Yuan.
It's just that in the name of believing in Buddhism, this guy didn't want to give advice to Lao Chiang, and he also set up a "new church for salvation", he personally served as the head of the church, and it is said that he had secretly gathered the direct forces of Beiyang, and planned to take advantage of the turbulent situation to use the name of "anti-Japanese" to make a comeback.
However, this move was severely criticized by Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1935, when the Japanese devils were engaged in "autonomy in North China", they wanted to invite him to come to power as a puppet, but he resolutely refused.
In 1938, the puppet "Provisional Government of North China" merged with the puppet "Restoration Government" in Nanjing, and when he was invited to go out of the mountain again, he did not agree.
On December 4, 1939, he was admitted to a Japanese hospital due to dental disease, but was assassinated by Japanese spies, and it is said that it was Kenji Dohihara's handiwork.
Fortunately, it is now October 1937, and if Liu Yicheng's hands and feet are fast enough, he will still have a certain chance of success if he brings Wu Peifu back from Beiping.
But at this time, Beiping is different from Beiping in the past, but Beiping, which is entrenched in hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, and the target person is still under the close supervision of the Japanese secret service.
To save or not to save?
The hexagram mentioned by the eldest grandson is just a possibility of divination, and it can really affect the upcoming Battle of Shijiazhuang?
Major General Liu was really a little hesitant.
However, if Wu Peifu can really be rescued, it will indeed be a great blow to the confidence of the Japanese army in invading China.
Beiping is the headquarters of the Japanese army in North China, if Wu Peifu is rescued, in order to ensure his own safety, he will inevitably increase the number of troops stationed near Beiping, so as to reduce the pressure on Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei and other battlefields in disguise.
So strategically, it's worth the risk.
At the same time, Wu Peifu has many old troops, and even Qi Xieyuan, the commander of the puppet Pingjin garrison, was also a subordinate of Wu Lao, if he can use the name of Wu Lao to plot against the North China puppet army, it should be easier.
