To count the most popular of all the weapons of Datang after the real European War, it must be Datang's aircraft. www.biquge.info In the European War, the appearance of Datang military planes in the sky was devastating to the enemy's morale, and the bombs falling from the sky were almost impossible to defend against, which made many military observers exclaim that the defense line built by the state on land was no longer useful, and the enemy could cross any obstacle from the sky.

In addition to starting to equip themselves with a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, countries have also stepped up the procurement of aircraft. If it is said that weapons such as off-road vehicles and tanks, European countries can still hold it back, and they can draw a scoop according to the gourd, but from the production to the piloting of aircraft, there are more things involved than land weapons, so European countries can only choose to purchase from Datang, and there are almost no exceptions.

Datang's first foreign trade fighter launched after the European War is CJ-3, that is, the copycat version of the biplane fighter **** three, the other was an important weapon of the Chinese Air Force to resist the Japanese invaders, and the performance is not excellent, but it is not bad. The CJ-3 biplane built by Datang has only two 7.62mm aviation machine guns, can carry 200 kg of aerial bombs or auxiliary fuel tanks, and has a maximum range of 1,000 kilometers. Although its combat parameters are slightly lower than those of the original **** three, it is due to the fact that Datang Aviation Industry is richer in theory and knowledge, so the flight stability is better. The original **** three was not recognized by the US military, and the biggest procurement object was China.

Datang provides fighter planes and also helps European countries train pilots at some aviation schools in North America. These pilots are not simply air force pilots, Datang has also exported some civil aviation aircraft to Europe, although the vast majority of European civil aviation is now monopolized by a few Datang Airlines.

The popularity of the CJ-3 can be seen in the number of CJ-3s purchased by the Germans, the French 261, Spain 153, Portugal 88, the Netherlands 166, Russia 238, Italy 345, and the UK 460......

In just a few years, more than 2,000 CJ-3s were sold, and not only European countries bought them, but also American countries, becoming a veritable international fighter. This fighter has good flight performance and good use, and the more it is sold, the cheaper it will become, and even the price has fallen below 20,000 Tang Yuan in the end, which is cheaper than the CT-2 tank exported to the United Kingdom.

The cost of this thing is surprisingly low, the parts are simple, the wings are all wood, Datang is still engaged in standardized production, and the production speed is extremely fast, such as more than 400 planes purchased by the British, and the North American Aviation Industry Company, which is responsible for the production, produces less than a month. However, North American Airlines was very intimately afraid that its production would scare children, so it was stunned to deliver the aircraft over several years. Of course, the training cycle of British pilots is also relatively long, which is also an internal reason.

A large number of exports have made North American Aviation Industries, which has been established for less than six years, the second largest aviation company in the current stage after Xiangzhan Moisten. The reconnaissance-2 produced by Xiangzhan was used as a fighter by the Army Airlines, and later won a lucrative order for the J-2 and entered a period of rapid development. The oldest Boeing is no match for McDonnell Douglas in the field of transport aircraft and civil airliners, and the fighter is lost to Xiangzhan, and the carrier-based aircraft is also inferior to Grumman and McDonnell Douglas, and only in the field of bombers still has a place.

North American Airlines, which relies on the sales of foreign trade aircraft, also surpassed Boeing's turnover in one fell swoop. Rumor has it that Boeing's performance is not satisfactory to both the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Industry, and it may be merged by other companies next.

Boeing is not willing to do this, in order to come back to life, Boeing packaged the Mustang fighter that seemed to have no hope to the receiver North American Airlines, and he used mature technology to come up with a foreign trade monoplane CJ-6 that is further than the CJ-3. There is no doubt that the CJ-6 was licensed for export by the state under Boeing's diligent lobbying, and although the improvement of the CJ-6 over the CJ-3 in terms of data is actually limited, it still makes many countries blush.

After all, the fighters used by the Datang Aviation Force are not the CJ-3 with upper and lower wings, but monoplanes like the CJ-6.

But in fact, Boeing played a trick, the CJ-6 is even lower than the CJ-3 in terms of manufacturing difficulty, and the cost is lower, but in terms of actual combat performance, it only turns two 7.62 mm machine guns into 12.7 mm heavy machine guns, and the speed has increased from 350 kilometers per hour to 375 kilometers per hour, and there is no improvement in other aspects of handling and maneuverability, and it is not even as easy to maneuver as the CJ-3, and the bomb load has dropped from 200 kg to 100 kg.

Although countries have purchased a wave of combat aircraft before, the emergence of the CJ-6, which seems to be more technologically advanced, has made some countries choose to pay for some to see how it goes. Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other countries have successively purchased CJ-6, although the number is not as large as the CJ-3, but there are hundreds of them. Tsarist Russia did not do as well as the Western European countries, so this time there was no money.

The fighter in the propeller era is a kind of consumables, which needs to be piled up, although all countries know that there is no way to compare with Datang, but they still hope to maintain some balance of power between each other. Britain was determined to build an army aviation unit with 1,000 combat aircraft, and although this number was relatively small compared to the other side during World War I, considering that Britain was just starting out, it was already very impressive. Moreover, the population of European countries in this period was far less than that of the beginning of the twentieth century, and the size of the army was not particularly large.

In addition, neither Boeing nor North American Aviation is willing to authorize European countries to produce their foreign trade fighters, and the Europeans can only send personnel to Datang to study at this stage, and after returning to China, they will start with the most basic aircraft and slowly develop them, and it is estimated that it will take several years to complete the reverse imitation of the CJ-3 and CJ-6 aircraft. At the same time, engine production is also a big problem, the 600 horsepower aero engine exported by Datang, even if it is not more difficult than the turbofan engine that can not be made by playing with life in later generations, but it is still difficult to replicate it in European countries that have eaten fertilizer and grown up. Parts such as radios and engines can only be imported by all European countries, and they cannot be made themselves.

Just by selling weapons and equipment, the Tang military industry can obtain tens of millions of Tang yuan in profits every year, considering that the financial revenue of European countries at this time is tens of millions of dollars per year, Britain has just exceeded 100 million yuan with the progress of its fiscal revenue, and a considerable part of it has been smashed into the upgrading of military equipment and fallen into the pockets of the Tang people.

In fact, it is not only Datang's weapons and equipment that are rampant in Europe, almost all Datang commodities during this period are frantically amassing wealth, and it is precisely by relying on this ability to absorb gold that Datang can continue to invest in the construction of the country.
