Li Kongrong was so perfunctory, Cheng Tianfang just smiled lightly, Chen Shaokuan has resigned, and there is no major incident in the navy? But after all, this is an internal affair of the navy, and he is not easy to interfere in, not to mention that he has other things to say -- I saw him take out a copy of the People's Observer newspaper from more than a month ago and laugh: "Your brother is really capable, look, you said in the United States that once Germany and France go to war, the French government will surrender within forty days, and the German newspapers will immediately reprint it." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

'France surrendered in forty days', this was the headline of the news, and although it was only on the third page, the article still took the front page on the third page. Li Kongrong was surprised at how his thesis could be transmitted back to Europe, but he did not know that in order for the Nazis to advocate the noble Aryan race, any news and history that were favorable to this argument would be put together with this theme, and his article with some military commentary was quickly tampered with by the Nazi Propaganda Department after it was published by Time Weekly, and the reason for France's surrender within 40 days was not because of the change in military technology and mode of warfare, but because of the excellence of the Aryan race.

"This is really ......" Holding the newspaper, Li Kongrong wanted to say, 'It's a dog', but Cheng Tianfang is a Sven, so he had to endure the second half of the sentence.

"Brother Hansheng is famous." Cheng Tian said with a smile, "I heard that French newspapers and British newspapers also published this article. ”

"It's just little brother's nonsense, I didn't expect it to be so ......." Li Kongrong's back was sweating when he heard this, and he would remember the look that MI6 looked at him when he was in London a few days ago.

"Eh. The domestic 88 Armored Army can have such a great victory, and you can't get rid of it. Du Guangting has already admitted to foreign reporters that he said that the armored corps was all pointed out by you from the establishment to the tactics, and said that you also wrote a treasure book of armored forces. Cheng Tianfang looked at Li Kongrong, this think-tank staff officer who became a colonel in his thirties and became famous all over the world, he is really a talent, he is still a widower, but it is a pity that his daughter is still young, otherwise it would be better to marry such a dragon among people.

"Hansheng. In terms of talent, not to mention the navy, even the army, you are also this. Cheng Tianfang gave a thumbs up, "As long as you don't go down the wrong path and obey the leadership of the chairman and the Central Committee, the future will definitely be limitless, but you must not be unable to distinguish the situation." ”

Although Cheng Tianfang was bitter, his persuasion made Li Kongrong a little disgusted -- Chen Wenlin proposed that the seaplane should be refueled in the air, and he believed that the Boeing 314 waterplane fully met the requirements and could be easily modified and used, so he was immersed in an indescribable excitement.

The Boeing 314 has a range of nearly 6,000 kilometers and a load of five tons when fully loaded, but after sending a telegram to inquire about it, Boeing, which has just launched the airliner, promised that the aircraft will carry more than 10 tons and nearly 14 tons after using more powerful engines and removing all unnecessary passenger facilities. This is not the main point, the point is that in order to achieve a range of nearly 6,000 kilometers, the 314 airliner itself has 4,246 gallons of fuel, and if it is improved, it can add another 1,200 gallons, and if it is changed to the metric system, more than 5,400 gallons of fuel is equal to 20,570 liters, which is about 16 tons of fuel.

However, the price of this type of aircraft is extremely expensive, up to $550,000 each. Fortunately, with a range of only 2,000 km, the on-board fuel can also be refueled for combat aircraft, so that the actual refueling capacity of each aircraft will reach 25 tons, and with the allocation of one ton of fuel for each combat aircraft, one tanker can provide fuel for 25 aircraft, and two tanker planes can support an aircraft carrier's ultra-long-range operations.

The problem of tankers was solved, and the problem of AWACS was solved. The world's first AWACS aircraft was a TBM-3W converted from a TBM Avenger torpedo bomber, only because of the small space in the cockpit of the aircraft, the data received by the AN/APS-20 airborne early warning radar had to be transmitted to the shipborne radar command, which then commanded the operation in the air. The Boeing 314 solves the problem of lack of space and can also be equipped with larger transmitters and antennas. Even with the same radar performance, the Boeing 314 AWACS aircraft can detect fighter jets at a distance of 120 kilometers and an altitude of about 150 meters, bombers at a distance of 150 kilometers, large ships at a distance of 320 kilometers, and submarine periscopes from 30 to 35 kilometers.

What can such an AWACS aircraft do with a group of attack aircraft with a range of 4,000 meters and 26 hours in the air?

If an attack aircraft were equipped with a radar similar to the SCR-720 - with a detection range of 16 km for bombers and 8 km for fighters, what would they be able to do at night?

The real role of aircraft carriers is to provide a platform for aircraft to take off and land, and in order to protect this platform, an aircraft carrier fleet has been formed. The core of everything is in carrier-based aircraft, not ships. Air tankers extend the flight time of aircraft and expand the area of operation. Based on this, such a question emerged in Li Kongrong's mind: If the attack aircraft is piloted in two or three people in turn, and the air tanker is constantly replenished in rotation, is the flight time of the attack aircraft the life of its engine?

In that case, what else do you need aircraft carriers for? Wouldn't there be an air force by directly establishing a supply chain for submarines, air tankers, and attack aircraft? The only drawback is that the attack aircraft piloted by two or three people in turn is certainly not as good as a single fighter, and it cannot use conventional weapons to attack the aircraft carrier fleet during the day, but it can deal with RB merchant ships and warships other than aircraft carriers that have no escort in the Pacific Ocean, and they will completely sink all ships that are included in the radar of early warning aircraft like locusts ravaging crops.

Heavenly punishment! Thinking that such an air cluster would fly all the way over, and the RB people's ships would sink all the way, Li Kongrong immediately wrote these two words on a notepad, and used them as the code name of the plan to instruct Chen Wenlin and Zhi Bingyuan to try to complete this idea. Radar is the top priority of the Heavenly Punishment Plan, at this time the Swiss laboratory on radar research progress is quite good, at this time RB has not yet made a centimeter wave water-cooled magnetron, but RB can build a magnetron is not a flash of inspiration, before Yagi Shuji, Okabe Kinyero and other foundations, as well as with foreign countries, especially with Germany technical exchanges and learning, so Ito Yongji has such an achievement.

Now Meng Zhaoying and others from the Swiss Radio Laboratory have fully mastered RB's magnetron technology, and have also established certain contacts with Professor Bakuhawuci, a German radio authority, and the most important link is that the MIT Instrument Laboratory on Linsberger's side will join the research. The AN/APS-20 early warning radar was the result of two years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1944. Based on Li Kongrong's speculation, even if he is pessimistic, three years later, that is, in 1941, he will be able to obtain the primary version of the AN/APS-20 early warning radar.

AWACS aircraft, air tankers, and British Mosquito bombers will be the normal configuration of an air strike group, and if it is an attack carrier, then F5F fighters and torpedo dive bombers will be added. At the beginning of the war in the Pacific, the RB merchant ships were only 6.3 million tons, and if there is an air strike group, these 6.3 million tons of merchant ships can be knocked out quickly, and this is not a submarine to set up an ambush one by one to try their luck to find it, it only needs to patrol the main shipping lanes, and after discovering the target, the early warning aircraft will send a bomber to attack. Depending on the range of the aircraft, the only real constraint on the outcome of the battle is the number of bombs mounted and nothing else.

-- When Li Kongrong was looking forward to all the good things, Cheng Tianfang persuaded him not to go the wrong way, which naturally made him unhappy. His dislike for Chang Kaishen also rose again. The rebuilding of the Navy does not take away from the resources of the national government, and even if there is a plan to issue bonds, it will be after Pearl Harbor -- as long as their fleet 'accidentally' ambushes the RB Mobile Force north of Pearl Harbor and flatters the Americans, the delighted American people will certainly buy their own bonds on a large scale.

Is it really more important to kill dissidents than to fight against foreign enemies? Li Kongrong laughed at this! In later generations, so many people were for the government and the country. The army regretted and spoke ill of his party, which seemed to make sense, but after being there, he found a paradox: why is it just to eradicate dissidents, and it is unjust for other parties to eradicate ***? If it is said that the anti-Japanese war cannot be eradicated, does it mean that the miscellaneous army that died in Songhu, Wuhan, and TEZ should die in vain? Since the miscellaneous cards with meritorious anti-Japanese resistance can be annexed, why can't the meritorious anti-Japanese *** be eliminated? The eradication of dissidents is for reunification, and the eradication of other parties is not for reunification?

Throughout history, it was Sun Wen, who was bent on the Northern Expedition, who refused to be autonomous in the provinces and wanted to unify China by force, and Chang Kaishen took over to complete two-thirds of this work by suppressing the Communist Party and using the War of Resistance to complete eight-tenths. After the Anti-Japanese War, local forces were basically annexed or eliminated, and what is unexpected is that the situation suddenly reversed three years later, and the *** that has always annexed and eliminated others was eliminated by others.

People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be knifed. Good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not yet come -- the history of *** is a history of playing with fire and self-immolation, first burning others, and then being burned by others. He shows no mercy when he burns others, and when he is burned by others, he not only shouts injustice but also sympathizes with others. What is historical nihilism? This is historical nihilism.

After Cheng Tianfang persuaded Li Kongrong, he found that his face had changed several times, and he didn't know that he had come up with so many crooked reasons in his heart. Before Li Kongrong was about to say a few polite words, Cheng Tianfang, who had a long sigh, said: "Hansheng, my resignation to China has been approved by the chairman, and it won't be long before I return to China......

Cheng Tianfang resigned. Li Kongrong's eyes widened suddenly, Cheng Tian was in Berlin, and many things could help him, Li Kongrong was really reluctant to let him go. He grabbed his hand and said, "Why is my brother leaving?" This, how should you go to this embassy for good? ”

"Hey!" Cheng Tianfang shook his head, "Germany is blindly pro-Japanese, and I, the ambassador, have done nothing, and many people in China have opinions on this. Since you can't do it, you can't occupy this position to block others. ”

"This is the trend of the times, how can you blame my brother?!" Li Kongrong's voice became louder, he was indeed a little aggrieved for Cheng Tianfang, Cheng Tian had done a lot of things in Germany for more than a year, but the general trend was like this, what could he do.

"Don't say it, don't say it." Cheng Tian let go and pressed Li Kongrong's hand, indicating that he received his affection. He said: "After I leave, the affairs of the museum will be handed over to Brother Bo Yu, and the visa matter will also be handed over to him." However, the Germans have noticed that we are issuing visas to Jews in large quantities, and it is not known how long this will be perfunctory. ”

In a few months, Kristallnacht was coming, and the Nazi net against the Jews was getting tighter and tighter. When Li Kongrong entered the embassy, he had already seen a bunch of Jews waiting in line for visas, and he really didn't know how long the national government could hold on.

"Hey! Hitler. After talking to Cheng Tianfang, Li Kongrong, who left the embassy, saw the familiar Nazi salute of the SS again, and he felt extremely funny when he saw the two SS salutes with serious expressions on their stomachs - what kind of drive would make a normal person make such a funny move?

"Where should we go, sir?" The Jewish boy saw the SS instinctively dodging, but Li Kongrong did not say where to go.

"Let's go back to the dorm." The news of Li Kongrong's return Lin Zhun and they didn't know it yet, and he didn't want to stay in a hotel with his luggage.

"Hello sir!!" As soon as Li Kongrong got out of the car, Liu Yongren, the officer on duty, greeted him loudly. In addition to greeting, he also ran over quickly to help with Li Kongrong's luggage.

"You're on duty today?" Li Kongrong smiled and threw him a box of Camel brand cigarettes, and he came back with no gifts, only a bunch of cigarettes - because Hitler did not smoke, German cigarettes were expensive and difficult to smoke.

"Yes, sir." Liu Yongren took the cigarette and laughed. Soon, other people in the dormitory also ran out of the room, shouting at him in the hallways and on the balcony.

"What about Venerable?" Li Kongrong took out two cigarettes and asked Liu Yongren to distribute them to everyone, but found that Lin Zhun was not there.

"Brother Zun is on the side of the wooden mold." Li Kongrong's first mate, Gao Guangyou, asked others to take Li Kongrong's luggage, and he pointed to the other side of the dormitory, "We made a wooden model of a submarine, and now Zunzhi is training the boaters over there." ”

"Wooden molds?" Li Kongrong remembered the things he had told before leaving Germany, and immediately nodded. "Okay, let's go take a look."

The so-called wooden mold is not a submarine, but some important parts of the submarine, and the proportions are not equal, but this always brings some realism to the sailors, after all, there is something. Li Kongrong turned around the dormitory and heard Lin Zhun's voice before he reached the wooden mold, and he saw that several heads were half-blocked by the wooden mold, so he jokingly said: "Report, the enemy ship has been found." ”

"Who spotted the enemy ship?" It was Lin Zhun's voice. He replied before he reacted, and said from surprise to joy: "Hansheng! You, you're back! ”

"Yes, it's back." Li Kongrong walked over and held hands with him, and the other sailors saluted him, while Liu Yongren held up a cigarette and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, the chief has brought American cigarettes back, come on, everyone light them, everyone light them."
