"The Italians do not have the ability to make new aircraft, the fighters equipped by the Italian army were purchased from the British, and the British developed a new generation of fighters at the beginning of the year, although the specific performance is not clear, but judging from the streamlined shape of the fuselage and the metal structure of the front half, it should be a reference to our Eagle Falcon fighter, and the British named this kind of aircraft 'Hurricane'--" In the conference room of the Eye of Sardinia, Dou Yongyi, head of the Air Force of the Sardinia Military Region, pasted a photo of the "Hurricane" on the display board, combined with the photo introduction. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Since the Italians bought the 'Hurricane', the Italians often sent the 'Hurricane' to harass, with the help of this opportunity, we also fought against the 'Hurricane' many times, according to the data analysis we obtained, the various parameters of the 'Hurricane' are worse than our 'Eagle Falcon', but the gap is not big, we basically have the upper hand in the confrontation, the Italians are poor in the quality of the pilots, and considering that the British sold to the Italians' The hurricane may be a castrated version, so this situation must be taken seriously. ”

In fact, Qin Zhiyuan has always ignored the scientific research ability of the British, although the British did not attach much importance to the air force in history, but now that there is a precedent for Lanfang to defeat the Japanese Combined Fleet, the British will definitely be inspired by it.

As an old capitalist country, Britain is still the world leader at present, and the scientific research capabilities of the British people cannot be ignored; if the British government attaches enough importance to the air force, it will not be difficult for Britain to develop a fighter with performance comparable to that of the "Eagle Falcon".

The performance of the "Eagle Falcon" fighter is indeed the world's leading, and even now, the "Eagle Falcon" is still proud of the world.

Although it is indeed leading, but the lead is not large, although the "Eagle Falcon" has applied a series of new technologies, but still can not escape the category of propeller fighters, the technology itself has not been qualitatively improved, if the British go all out, it is not impossible to catch up with the "Eagle Falcon".

"Why hasn't this news been reported?" Qin Zhiyuan's face sank like water, the British had such a big move Qin Zhiyuan didn't know it, it seemed that some officials in Lanfang had been carried away by a series of victories, and they had already begun to slack off.

"It has already been reported to the military department, and the military department has also transferred the relevant information to the Ministry of Science and Technology, and Dean Long is currently speeding up the research of 'thunderbolt', which is said to be progressing very quickly and has reached the finalization stage, if our 'thunderbolt' is in service, then our air force still has a considerable advantage in the face of the British air force." Qin Haoge answered this question instead of Dou Yongyi.

As early as last year, Qin Zhiyuan proposed to Long Chengyuan to develop a new generation of fighters, and for more than a year, the design institute has also withdrawn several different versions of the "Thunderbolt", but because they are all defective, they have not been finalized.

The last time Qin Zhiyuan talked with Long Chengyuan, he put forward the concept of developing jet fighters, and it seems that Long Chengyuan's current research focus is not on "thunder and lightning", otherwise the new fighter should have been finalized long ago.

"Send a telegram to Surabaya immediately, and make every effort to promote the research progress of 'Thunderbolt', and within half a year - no, within three months, I will see the 'Thunderbolt' start mass production." Qin Zhiyuan had a sense of urgency and immediately gave an order to Haiman.

Qin Zhiyuan turned his head to face Dou Yongyi again, and his fingers knocked on the table very rhythmically: "Let's see if we can find a way to get a 'Hurricane', and we can also analyze the level of technology of the British." ”

If you want to understand the current combat effectiveness of the British, the best way is to find a way to get a "Hurricane" and send it back to Lanfang for dismantling, as long as the advantages and disadvantages of the "Hurricane" are analyzed, the Lanfang Air Force can formulate a combat mode for the "Hurricane".

"The British are guarding against us, and the current 'Hurricane' is sold to the Italians in addition to equipping the British troops, and not even Australia and Canada, and it is almost impossible for us to get the 'Hurricane' through normal means -- we have asked the French to test and see if we can buy a few, but the British have refused and have not discussed at all." Qin Haoge also had a headache.

Secrecy is certain, when Lan Fang developed the "Eagle Falcon", there was also a relevant technical blockade of the British, and the British also wanted to buy the "Eagle Falcon" at that time, but they were also rejected by the Lan Fang Military Department.

Lan Fang only sold the "Eagle Falcon" to the French, and before the transaction, Lan Fang signed a relevant contract with France, and the French had to ensure that the "Eagle Falcon" sold by Lan Fang to France would not be lost to the British.

Now it seems that this contract is also the same, France is now a broken sieve full of big holes, and the Germans can penetrate France everywhere, let alone the British.

Maybe the French really wanted to keep it secret, but now it seems that the British must have known some of the secrets of the "Eagle Falcon" through some means, so there was a "hurricane".

The British sold the "Hurricane" to the Italians, probably under the guise of supporting the Italians in the confrontation with Lan Fang, with the biplanes and triplanes equipped by the Italians in the past, the stability is indeed stable, but the performance is very different from Lan Fang's "Eagle Falcon", and they can only follow the "Eagle Falcon" to eat ashes, and they have no ability to confront the "Eagle Falcon" at all.

"If you can't buy it, think of other ways to create some accidents." Qin Zhiyuan's belly black attribute recurred.

"What accident? Is it okay to send special forces to steal it? Qin Haoge was immediately excited, Qin Haoge, who forcibly grabbed something, liked it the most.

"Steal - you're a marquis, can you have a little marquisal demeanor? What does it mean to steal? Qin Zhiyuan immediately hated.

Strictly speaking, the dukes of Lanfang are all from the grassroots class of the "official generation", including Chen Kangjian and Qin Haoge, they basically did not receive any formal education before going to Europe, and after joining the army, they went to the "crash course" and "improvement class" organized by Qin Zhiyuan several times, and most of the time was spent in the barracks, so it is a bit difficult to ask the princes of Lanfang to have the so-called "aristocratic demeanor" like those nobles in the United Kingdom.

"Borrow, borrow, borrow—" Qin Haoge immediately changed his words, the meaning was almost the same, and he didn't plan to pay it back anyway.

"Think of some reliable ideas, borrow something, and don't pay it back anyway-" Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to borrow, there are few Italians' 'Hurricanes', it is estimated that the Italians will cherish them as eyeballs, maybe there are traps at the airport, just waiting for Lan Fang people to jump in, Qin Zhiyuan will not do a loss-making business: "This 'Hurricane' is only equipped with a metal skin on the front half, and it is estimated that the overall weight is still very limited-" Qin Zhiyuan used his brain.

"Yes, yes, their hurricanes float very well when they fly, although the speed and altitude are good, but the flight attitude is unstable, and they are staggering and scared to death when flying, if they really fight, the hit rate will definitely not be high." Dou Yongyi was also excited, if he really got a "Hurricane" for research as Qin Zhiyuan said, then it would be Dou Yongyi and his pilots who would benefit in the end.

"How much does our 'kangaroo' weigh?" Qin Zhiyuan made up his mind.

"Seven and a half tons, eleven tons when fully loaded." Dou Yongyi is already familiar with the equipment of the Lanfang Air Force, and these data will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

"The hurricane isn't that heavy—" Qin Zhiyuan thought about it.

"He can't catch up with the horse! As for the small body of the 'hurricane', it is estimated that it is about two tons, and our 'kangaroo' can hit him-" Dou Yongyi picked up quickly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he looked strange.

The plane collided with the plane, which has no precedent in the air battle at this time, but it is not impossible, the "kangaroo" weighs four and a half tons empty, and when it is fully loaded, it is six tons, if this ton and a half are made into armor, then maybe you can make an armored monster in the air, which is used to deal with the "hurricane".

"You go back and see how you can get it, and try to knock the 'Hurricane' down." Qin Zhiyuan was nailed.

If it is a tank, it is not a problem to add a layer of outer armor, but it is more troublesome for an airplane.

When the aircraft is finalized, the structure of the fuselage has been determined, and adding or subtracting points will cause structural changes, which will lead to fatal mistakes if it is not done well in the air.

The "Kangaroo" is a transport plane, and its flight speed will certainly not be able to catch up with the "Hurricane" fighter, and if you want to use the "Kangaroo" to knock the "Hurricane" down, then you still need to formulate a tactic, and this idea can only become a reality under special conditions.

The difficulties are indeed a bit much, but Dou Yongyi is not a forward-looking character, after Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, Dou Yongyi immediately got up and stood upright: "Yes!" Resolutely complete the task. ”

Well, this attitude is good, but only attitude is not enough, after all, Dou Yongyi is a pilot not a technician, and it is not Dou Yongyi's job to modify the aircraft, and it is better to have professionals in charge of this kind of work.

So after the meeting, Qin Zhiyuan sent a telegram to Long Chengyuan, asking Long Chengyuan to fly directly to Sardinia, and Long Chengyuan personally presided over the modification work.

Just two days later, Long Chengyuan flew to Sardinia on a "kangaroo".

When he first saw Qin Zhiyuan, Long Chengyuan was still a little unhappy, complaining that the task given to him by Qin Zhiyuan had affected Long Chengyuan's work.

Long Chengyuan's current responsibilities are very important, after the "kangaroo" is installed, Long Chengyuan has to study and improve the "Thunderbolt" fighter on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to take into account the helicopter, and a while ago he also added the task of improving the "Eagle Falcon", so Long Chengyuan's time is really precious now, and even when he got off the plane, Long Chengyuan was still wearing a white coat that he only wore in the laboratory.

Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to see Long Chengyuan become ill from hard work, work is work, rest is rest, the two do not conflict, you must rest well before you can work well, Qin Zhiyuan shouted Long Chengyuan out of the laboratory, and also wanted Long Chengyuan to relax.
