Chapter 473 - Secret Transfer of Military Technology to the Civilian Population
Intensified combat readiness training, casualties and equipment losses are inevitable, and in order to win the war, these losses are negligible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's not just the Navy that has been suffering from casualties and equipment damage lately, but the Army as well.
Even if the navy is firing live ammunition, the danger is not great, after all, the exercises are all target ships, and the target ships will not fire back.
To put it bluntly, the navy is an artillery at sea, and it does not need to be like the army, which needs to be fought in close quarters, and bayonets are red.
During the live-fire exercise, the army is easily injured by flying bullets and artillery shell fragments, and in serious cases, it will lose its life.
The training of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army has always been known for its strictness, and each unit has a certain number of deaths every year.
Today, the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire is undergoing semi-mechanized reform, with the dragoon regiment as a model legion, which is promoted to other units.
At the same time, in terms of tactics, the Shence Army has begun to practice infantry artillery coordination and infantry tank coordination.
The coordinated operation of infantry and artillery refers to the cooperation between infantry and artillery. Infantry and tank coordination, on the other hand, is theoretically the mutual cooperation and coordination between infantry and tanks.
However, at present, because Li Weiguo has not disclosed the existence of tanks, there are no tanks in the Shence Army in various major theaters.
However, in order not to catch the Shence army off guard when it suddenly faced the tanks in the future, Li Weiguo still ordered the Shence army to practice infantry and tan coordinated operations.
The tank here refers to the combat vehicle. Temporarily replace tanks with combat vehicles and train infantry and tank cooperative combat theory.
Although the officers and men of Shence do not yet know why the coordinated operation of infantry and combat vehicles is called infantry and tank coordination, they have been mentally prepared, and when a large number of tanks join the army one day, they will quickly adapt and get started.
After Li Weiguo went to the 51st District last time to inspect the secret air base, Air Force Commander Zhuang Jiuxia received an order to begin large-scale training of F16 fighter pilots so that they could be quickly put into battle in wartime.
The Chinese Empire has long established an aviation club, which has trained a large number of outstanding pilots, excluding those foreigners, most of the citizens of the Chinese Empire, and most of them come from the Air Force, and the rest come from civilian aircraft developers and civilian aircraft enthusiasts.
Among them, the air force pilots are basically pilots of the China Imperial Air Travel Company, but they learned airships before, and after joining the aviation club, they began to learn the piloting skills of biplane propeller aircraft.
At the same time, in the Northern Theater, Li Weiguo ordered the relevant departments to set up a separate aviation school, called the Royal Air Force Officer School of the Chinese Empire.
The school implements militarized management, recruiting students from high schools and universities throughout the Chinese Empire, awarding military status, and graduating with the minimum rank of lieutenant. And the equivalent military academy, army and navy cadets only have the rank of second lieutenant after graduation.
The Air Force is one level higher than the Navy and Army, which shows how much Li Weiguo attaches importance to the Air Force.
It is also for this reason that after a large number of student recruits enlist in the army, more people enroll in the Royal Air Force Academy, because after graduating there, they can immediately receive a higher rank and treatment than the Navy and Army.
Inside the Royal Air Force Academy of the Imperial Chinese Empire, there is a closed training base, which contains various air force cadet training equipment designed by Li Weiguo himself.
One of the most important pieces of equipment is the gyroscope simulator, which allows the air force pilot to sit in the gyroscope, and then rotate the gyroscope, which rotates 360 degrees in the air, so that the pilot can adapt to the air environment, and when he flies the plane into the sky in the future, he will not be able to distinguish between the south, east, west, north, west, up and down.
In history, during World War I, many pilots flew into the sky, once they encountered an enemy plane, when the two sides were fighting, they often could not distinguish between the sky and the ground, and the result was that many times they were not shot down by the enemy plane, but they were dizzy, and the plane crashed into the ground or the sea and the plane was destroyed.
During the First World War, all countries were constantly groping their way forward, exchanging the lives of tens of thousands of pilots from various countries for bloody lessons and experience.
Li Weiguo, on the other hand, did not need the pilots of the Chinese Empire to pay such a painful price, he stood directly on the shoulders of giants, and passed on the mature and advanced experience of later generations to the pilots of the Empire, so that they did not have to take detours and directly completed the leapfrog transformation from ordinary people to pilots.
In this era, the gap between ordinary people and pilots is actually only seven days.
This is the experience of various countries during the First World War.
During World War I, the fighter planes of various countries were slow and easy to operate, and as long as they could drive and were not road blind, after seven days of simple training, they could fly the fighters into the air for combat.
Of course, during the First World War, air battles were not too technical, hundreds or even thousands of planes from both sides fought together, and those who survived would become combat heroes and ace pilots.
In the pilot training base of the Chinese Empire, as long as all pilots can finally complete all the assessment items set by Li Weiguo, each graduate will instantly become an ace pilot in the eyes of other countries.
Of course, the ace pilots in the eyes of other countries can only be regarded as ordinary pilots within the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire.
Once these cadets of the Royal Air Force Academy graduate, the whole world will be shocked when they fly fighter jets into the skies of Europe and the United States.
The skies of the earth will henceforth belong only to the Chinese Empire.
In accordance with Li Weiguo's order, the Imperial Chinese military secretly summoned representatives of dozens of well-known airlines and automobile companies from China and issued secret military orders to them.
The order includes 3,000 T23 tanks and 5,000 F16 fighter jets, with more to come, depending on the completion of the tasks of the major companies.
This is a secret military order, and the heads of major companies are both nervous and excited, worried that the military will be prosecuted for leaking military secrets, and at the same time they see a huge order and drool, especially the military is willing to transfer F16 fighter jets and T23 tank-related technology to these private enterprises.
This is a golden hen that can lay golden eggs, so the heads of major companies are very excited, and they have come up with their strongest technology and the largest industrial limit production capacity, hoping to get this batch of orders.
The transfer of military technology to civilian use is Li Weiguo's personal will.
This is the same principle as hiding the wealth from the people.
The military technology of any country far exceeds that of civilian technology, and private enterprises occupy most of the industrial capacity of a country, so once a large-scale war breaks out, military industrial enterprises actually have limited production capacity, and private enterprises cannot help military industrial enterprises produce military equipment and materials because they cannot meet the technical standards of military industrial enterprises, which virtually drags down the overall war potential of the country.
If the production capacity of private enterprises can be utilized, it can not only benefit the people, but also fill the shortage of production capacity of national military enterprises at a critical moment.
Because it was the first time that a confidential military order and technology were transferred to a private enterprise, the review was very strict, and in the end, only ten large domestic private enterprises were qualified to undertake the task of producing T23 tanks and F16 fighter jets for the Chinese Imperial military.
Subsequently, these qualified private enterprises quickly began to introduce various relevant production line drawings and equipment from the military industrial units of the Chinese Empire, and secretly established production workshops, selected outstanding workers to enter the workshops for related production tasks, and also had to do a good job in various security measures.
The ability of private enterprises will be much stronger than the military industry in some aspects, because private enterprises will consider the cost of production, and they will use the highest quality and lowest cost to produce the most cost-effective finished products, and only in this way can they ensure their survival status.
Therefore, in actual production, they will use the relevant technology provided to them by the military to continuously improve the technology of T23 tanks and F16 fighters, making them more cost-effective and practical.
Of course, the modified T23 tank and F16 fighter must be tested and approved by the military before they can be mass-produced.
At the same time, these private enterprises have obtained the military production technology of T23 tanks and F16 fighters, and they will naturally not waste the opportunity in vain, they will select the best scientific research team, on the basis of T23 tanks and F16 fighters, to carry out the research and development of new tanks and fighters, if successful, they will get more and larger military purchase orders from the military.
Since ancient times, there have been many heroes!
Similarly, in terms of scientific research and creation, the Chinese people are also awakening. Since ancient times, there have been four great inventions, and the creative ability in the depths of the blood will awaken under the prosperity of the Chinese Empire.
A large number of citizen scientists have come together, and their creative power, once unleashed, will create more unparalleled brilliance.
Li Weiguo stayed in Honolulu, the eastern capital, for half a month, and then set off for Guam.
This is Li Weiguo's third trip to Guam, and he didn't bring the harem concubines, they were tired, Li Weiguo still felt very sorry for them, and didn't let them follow him anymore. At the same time, the beautiful scenery of Ezo Weiyi, especially the green beach, made Li Weiguo's concubines not want to leave there, and they even wanted to build a palace there, wanting to occupy the only two green beaches in the world.
Li Weiguo did not object to this, but he did not want the people to think that he was abusing imperial power, so Li Weiguo directly spent 200,000 yuan to buy the entire green beach of the island and the land around it for 200,000 miles through the Land Bureau of Honolulu, the eastern capital.
At the same time, the Imperial Court also made the matter public, telling the whole people that His Majesty the Emperor did not use his privilege to occupy the land, but purchased it from the Land Bureau with his own money through legitimate and legal channels. And it was bought at the normal market price, not a penny cheaper.
This is an exemplary act, and it is necessary to tell all the privileged strata of the Chinese Empire not to be able to act for the tiger and the common people because they have privileges.
When the news broke, domestic public opinion made headlines, praising Emperor Li Weiguo for leading by example and being a truly good emperor.
It is not surprising that the people all know that Li Weiguo started in business, and that he is rich enough to rival the country, and it is not surprising that he spent 200,000 yuan out of his own pocket to buy an uninhabited piece of land.
On the contrary, the people are scolding the Honolulu Land Bureau of the Eastern Capital for being shameless and daring to knock on the bamboo pole of His Majesty the Emperor. The land around that green sand beach is uninhabited at all, and it is not worth a huge amount of 200,000 yuan at all, at most only 10,000 yuan.
In this regard, the Honolulu City Land Bureau's home was thrown eggs, and he was quite speechless!
He originally planned to just symbolically collect a few thousand yuan from Li Weiguo, after all, there are not many people living in Ezoweiyi, and the big island is even more sparsely populated, and all kinds of infrastructure are not comprehensive, and the green beach that Li Weiguo bought is in an inaccessible place, and no one wants to buy it at all.
But at that time, Li Weiguo insisted that he use the land price standard in downtown Honolulu, and finally made a price of 200,000 yuan.
Now the director of the Land Bureau understands that his feelings have been cheated by His Majesty the Emperor, which is obviously deliberate by His Majesty the Emperor.
Of course, the matter quickly subsided, after all, it was not a big deal. Some people are even more afraid of the Honolulu Land Bureau in the eastern capital, and even His Majesty the Emperor dares to pit, what else is there to dare to? In the future, even if you are an aristocrat, you will have to be more careful when you go to the Honolulu Land Bureau to buy land.
It was not until a hundred years later, when people all over the world traveled around, that the people of the Chinese Empire knew that Li Weiguo seemed to spend 200,000 yuan to buy a green beach, and now as one of the only paradises on earth in the world, the market price is more than 20 billion yuan, which has appreciated a thousand times!
Later generations were extremely envious of Li Weiguo's vicious vision and chose a piece of golden treasure land, which is a later story, needless to say.
The sea is blue and the breeze is blowing, but the sea in autumn is exceptionally cold.
A huge fleet of hundreds of warships is heading in the direction of Guam.
The majestic battleship Thor, Li Weiguo climbed to the highest observation tower platform, looking into the distance, and the endless sea and sky scenery were in full view.
"Your Majesty, it's windy up there, let's go down!"
Li Weijun, commander of the Pacific Fleet, took a set of mink cloaks and draped them over his shoulders.
"It's okay! I can stand this little bit of wind! ”
Li Weiguo smiled and said, but did not refuse.
Although he is a monarch and a minister, he is also a clansman.
At that time, Li Weiguo was in the middle of the road, and he hated the ruthlessness of the clansmen in his heart, but later as time passed, he was no longer so persistent, and after he was open-minded, he put it down and treated the Li family in Jinling well.
This Li Weijun is Li Weiguo's brother, Li Weiguo only saw that he had some talent to make an exception, but it was really a piece of jade, after all these years of carving, it became a beautiful jade and shined.
The Pacific Fleet was placed in his hands, and although it did not make a vigorous deed, it was also well organized and maintained a strong combat effectiveness.
Seeing that Li Weijun's face was a little melancholy, he asked, "What's wrong?" Uncomfortable? ”
Li Weijun shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has always been a little restless when he goes to sea recently!" ”
Li Weiguo asked: "Why are you restless, did you say it?" ”
Li Weijun wanted to speak and stopped, Li Weiguo pretended to be unhappy and said: "Say it casually, we are originally clansmen, even if we say it wrong, I won't eat you!" ”
Li Weijun then said: "Don't be afraid of Your Majesty's jokes, whenever the minister goes to sea, he will always pay tribute to the Dragon King of the Sea and pray for the blessing of the Dragon God." Every time you go to sea, you will be calm, and if you are restless, something big will happen. ”
Li Weiguo said with a smile: "Everyone has the right to believe in their own beliefs, what's so ridiculous about this?" But you say that you are restless, could it be that there is something big going to happen on this trip? ”
Seeing that Li Weiguo didn't believe it, Li Weijun hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Majesty, I'd rather believe it than believe it!" Whenever the minister is restless, something big must happen, many years ago in the naval battle of the Solomon Islands, the minister was restless, and sure enough, we were ambushed that day. ”
Li Weiguo looked at Li Weijun's expression, he was very serious, and Li Weiguo could feel his nervousness.
Soldiers have a natural instinct on the battlefield, especially the veteran generals on the battlefield, and the more battles they experience, the more accurate their intuition becomes.
This is not superstition, this is actually a long-term crisis vigilance mechanism that erupts subconsciously.
Li Weiguo believes that after Li Weijun has been the commander of the fleet for so many years, he definitely has an instinctive subconscious alertness to the coming of danger.
"Tell me, then, where does the danger come from?" (To be continued.) )
