Nelson's myth could not be solved, and as an admiral, he longed for a strong enemy, but when the enemy was too strong, it was also a deep helplessness. The national policy of the United Kingdom www.biquge.info is to never provoke the Tang Dynasty, and to deal with the relationship with the Tang Dynasty in a pluralistic and flexible way. Britain has no way to resist the coercion of the Tang Dynasty, but Britain must protect its national interests as much as possible. For example, in the follow-up of the war between the United States and Britain, Britain actually had a premonition a long time ago that the Tang Dynasty might have the intention of completely annexing the North American continent, and Canada could not preserve it. That's why Britain isn't as concerned about running Canada as it is about running India. In the post-war negotiations, Britain was able to maintain the financial resources of the former Canada, even if it did not know when this income would be cut off. Importantly, a large number of warships from the U.S. Navy were obtained, which enabled the British Royal Navy to make up for its losses and maintain its position as the first navy in Europe.

The Great White Fleet then visited the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Sweden, and then crossed the Atlantic Ocean to complete the round-the-world voyage. The circumnavigation of the entire Great White Fleet took 11 months, and although Datang invested a huge amount of money in the process, the gains were not small.

The Datang Navy was able to use large formations to carry out exercises and training in different sea areas around the world, and gained a lot of combat experience; At the same time, it has shown its muscles in many countries to achieve the goal of deterrence; After seeing the Tang warships, the overseas leaders also developed a sense of identity and pride, which was also beneficial to the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty.

After the completion of the global voyage, the fleet was disassembled, and then the naval command deployed different warships to different fleets according to the original deployment. Of course, most of the warships have been sailed for a long time and also need to be maintained and overhauled, and the sailors who have been on duty for a long time also need to rest and recover their state and morale.

For a long time in the future, the world's perception of the military prosperity of the Tang Dynasty will come from the global voyage of the Great White Fleet, huge battleships and aircraft carriers, and a large number of ships. And some countries will also formulate operational plans for the Datang Navy based on the intelligence they have gathered during the visit of the Great White Fleet.

But in fact, what Datang shows to others is completely different from what is now developing and becoming tomorrow's combat power.

The Zheng He-class destroyer has passed the acceptance and officially joined the Datang Navy during the global voyage of the Great White Fleet, and the Feixue-class missile frigate, which is also equipped with missiles, has also been completed and launched and outfitted and has begun sea trials. The tonnage of the Feixue class is larger than that of the more than 3,300 tons of power switching stage, reaching more than 4,000, but it is not equipped with many missiles, because the technology itself is a new technology for sea trials, and the purpose of verification is stronger.

However, since the Zheng He class and the Feixue class, Datang's warships have entered the era of missiles, and the combat mode has undergone fundamental changes.

Also changing is the Datang Air Force.

The missiles have been put into active service, so there is no reason why Datang's aviation industry, which has a strong advantage, cannot produce jet fighters. The reason why the progress of Datang jet fighters is not fast is that, on the one hand, Datang seeks defeat out of loneliness, and the air force fighters of other countries are basically unable to form self-made, and they are all imported from Datang, and Datang sells some things that are one or two generations lower than the main active fighters to sell to them, so there is not much sense of crisis. The huge difference in scale is also a reason. On the other hand, the Datang Air Force has relatively high performance design indicators for jet fighters, which is also related to the fact that the Datang Air Force has no enemies. Therefore, it is not particularly urgent to improve the level of equipment.

Considering the number of equipment of the Datang army, such as a type of tank, it has to produce five or six thousand, and a type of fighter has to be equipped with thousands, so it is not cost-effective for the Datang army to only improve the performance of a model. In the absence of an obvious enemy, the Air Force is in no hurry to have a half-hung jet fighter. In particular, Datang North American Aviation Manufacturing Company also successfully sold a batch of piston fighters written as J-3 and read as P-51 Mustang to the Air Force. The Datang Air Force will not accept that there are certain disadvantages in terms of control and cost, and the performance has not been significantly suppressed.

In fact, the advantages of early jet fighters over excellent piston fighters were not obvious, and the Datang Air Force directly set various parameters very high. Such an act is stupid and impractical for airlines and teams that are engaged in R&D from scratch, but for Datang, although they are also the first to work on jet aircraft, they have experience and knowledge that their peers in the other side have.

Datang's first-generation jet fighter was jointly developed by Boeing, North America, and Xiangzhan, and the model has been established as J-6. The reason why it is said that its index is set high is because the development of the first generation of jet fighters by Datang Aviation Industry requires its horizontal speed to reach Mach 1.1, has good maneuverability, and uses air-to-air missiles as the main combat weapon. The specific performance parameters are very detailed and complex, and almost every one of them is a challenge for Datang Airlines. Fortunately, they have experience, they can be regarded as standing on the shoulders of giants, and the Air Force has enough funds to invest in it, so the project is still very smooth.

This Datang J-6 naturally also refers to a lot of elements from another MiG Design Bureau, but many problems of the original J-6 have been solved and repaired by Datang Aviation people. For example, the shock wave at supersonic speed makes it difficult to control the fighter, and the Tang people used a full-motion horizontal tail to overcome this problem at the beginning of the design. The aircraft's flight control system also adopts a more reliable system, making it more reliable and maneuverable in the air.

In fact, the J-6 was put into the sky soon after the design was completed, and the test flight went relatively smoothly without any major problems. The most important thing is that the J-6 is waiting for the Thunderbolt-2 air-to-air missile designed by Datang Electronics Industry Group before it can be regarded as having complete combat effectiveness.

After four years of development, the J-6 finally completed the development work, and was recognized by the Air Force, and began to equip the troops in batches. The Air Force placed a super large order for 3,200 aircraft directly with the three joint aviation manufacturing companies, with a delivery period of six years. At this time, jet fighters were not too complicated, and Datang could almost be said to have excess military production capacity in China, so it was not a problem to manufacture five or six hundred fighters a year.

In contrast, the Air Force is also promoting jet transport aircraft, jet bombers, jet attack aircraft and other projects at the same time, J-6 is the pilot project of these projects, the Navy also hopes to obtain jet fighters, but the parameters of the Navy are not particularly high, the first generation of jet carrier-based fighters is subsonic.
