Chapter 395: The Vietnam War begins
After settling Dien Bien Phu, Yang Feng lost interest in the battlefield of Annam, because the quarrel in Geneva continued, and Gaul did not directly announce the withdrawal of troops, but this was already doomed, just waiting for the final result of the negotiations.
Of course, he couldn't have spent a few months here, and then he went around Europe, especially after running to West Germany, the Netherlands, Britain, Sweden, Norway, and other countries with the best friendships, and then set off for China, and when he returned, he went to Canaan to visit.
At this time, it was not a few years before the Suez Canal War, and it was necessary to see if the situation was not good, because the Soviet aircraft carriers were always wandering around the Mediterranean, and Nasser had recently taken the same thing, not only forcing the Britons to sign an agreement with him for five or six years to withdraw all British troops from Suez, but also began to openly contact the Soviet Union to buy arms, especially the latest Yak-25 fighters and T54 tanks, and even Cairo had frequent attacks on foreigners, and the police who were close at hand did not even care.
In short, as long as you are not a fool at this time, you can see that the situation here is not right.
In this case, of course, it is indispensable to sell arms, and there are 100 second-hand wind chasers, which are cheap and affordable.
Thirty-six of the latest pirate attack aircraft, originally Yang Feng wanted the Air Force to use a batch, but his flying leopard is about to enter service, there is a combination of flying leopard and thunderbolt, and it would be a bit of a waste to have one more pirate in the middle, after all, Daming is not a United States, so in the future, he is ready to export this attack aircraft, and even the Congress has canceled the export ban on the Tamron IV engine, so that the Canaanites are the first users.
In addition, there is a lot of tanks.
The restriction that the population is small and cannot afford to be injured makes the Canaanites still have a soft spot for the centurion, and it just so happens that Yang Feng is increasing the number of Leopard tanks. The high-powered engine version of the Centurion has also begun to be retired. In that case, it was sold cheaply to the Canaanites. Give them 150 first, this tank equipped with 105 guns is still very easy to fight T54, and the speed after changing the engine can barely approach the level of T54.
The Canaanites were very satisfied with this tank, and then they agreed with Yang Feng that he would provide the engine, and they themselves upgraded the first batch of second-hand centurions they had purchased to the same level.
After visiting Canaan, he then went to Tehran, and of course Pahlavi also prepared an order for him, after the last batch of arms arrived. The strength of the Persian army has become second to none in the entire Middle East, Tiger Shark fighter jets, Leopard tanks such configurations, not to mention his neighbors, even the Soviet Union is cautious against him, in the process of his subsequent bloody purge of the People's Party, the Soviet Union did not dare to take any tough measures, just sit back and watch the destruction of its most important chess piece in Persia.
The reason is, to put it bluntly, that is, knowing that a skirmish cannot win against Persia.
In this case, Pahlavi, of course, will continue to buy, adding three squadrons of twenty-four standard Tiger Sharks, and two squadrons of Pirate attack aircraft. Three more brigades of Leopard tanks, as for infantry fighting vehicles, of course, this is also indispensable. In addition, after learning that Yang Feng would begin to retire Canberra bombers next, he first booked two squadrons of second-hand Canberra.
The performance of this bomber also overlaps with the Flying Leopard, which exceeds it in terms of combat radius and bomb load, and is supersonic and has good air combat capabilities, so after the Flying Leopard is in service, Canberra can only be gradually retired, but this bomber has only been used for a total of five years, of course, it can't be wasted, and it's good to take it out as a second-hand sale.
There is also a large order, Pahlavi ordered four of the latest Qinglong-class conventionally powered submarines, that is, Yang Feng's imitation of the 209-class.
In this way, when Yang Yuan slipped around and returned to Yingtian, it could already be said that his pocket was full of arms orders, and there were hundreds of combat aircraft of all kinds alone, even including elephant helicopters ordered by Britain and Gaul, West Germany and other countries.
Even if it is an elephant helicopter, a great rescue of Dien Bien Phu also amazes the whole world, more than 10,000 people, just a hundred helicopters are like playing, easily withdrawn from the siege hundreds of kilometers away, who doesn't like such a good thing?
"We just want to be an arms dealer, we just want to make the best arms to sell, we must not be a little behind others, as long as there is such a situation, then we must find ways to catch up, technology, technology is the foundation of our country!"
Yang Feng was at the test flight site of Shuntian Yingyang Aircraft Manufacturing Company, looking at a flying leopard that had just left the factory and said.
His flying leopard is actually the same as the flying leopard A in terms of aerodynamic layout, but of course the internal gap is huge, because there is no wire-based flight control and still uses the old hydraulic control system, so there is a big gap in maneuverability compared with the flying leopard A. Other aspects have also declined more or less, as for the radar and electronics, it is not a level at all, and in general it is the level of the early version of the F111, but fortunately, this can be solved by slowly upgrading it later.
The speed is about the same, and it can also reach Mach 1.7, after all, its maximum take-off weight and engine thrust are the same as the original.
The maximum range of hanging three auxiliary fuel tanks is 3,500 km, and when carrying out a high-profile subsonic attack mission, the combat radius can reach 1,500 km, to put it simply, it is to take a few laser-guided bombs, fly to the destination at high altitude and subsonic speed throughout the whole process, drop the bomb directly at high altitude and then turn around and come back, such a combat radius can reach 1,500 km.
As for the bombing of close-range targets, the maximum bomb load can exceed seven tons, and in fact, no matter how much you grit your teeth, you can hang it up, it is nothing more than a little fuel inside, and there is no problem in the simple structure of the fuselage.
This performance is already impressive, you must know that ten years ago, this was the level of a heavy bomber, and the Liberator bomber was nothing more than that, and this is a fighter-bomber with air combat capabilities, which can not only use infrared-guided air-to-air missiles, but even has an air combat thrust-to-weight ratio close to one to one. In terms of pure air combat, except for the Tiger Shark and Yak-25, it is estimated that no fighter can reach its same level, at least 60 years ago, when it bombed most countries, there was no need to worry about escort problems, it hung a few air-to-air missiles to solve the problem.
However, unlike the original Flying Leopard, this Flying Leopard has an air fuel port.
In fact, at this time, all the new generation of combat aircraft of the Ming army were equipped with this thing, Tiger Shark, Thunderbolt, and Corsair, but the air tanker based on the Airbus A310 design will not be completed until early next year, and there is also an air tanker with Hercules as the carrier aircraft is also being developed.
"Führer."
He was putting on a wise pretense there, Hu Hao came over and signaled to him, Yang Feng indifferently continued to chat with the employees of the new company established last year, and then left, as soon as he got into his car, Hu Hao said with a solemn face: "According to the information just obtained, Ngo Dinh Diem is preparing to launch a coup d'état to overthrow Nguyen Phuc Diem." ”
"Good, the fox's tail is finally revealed."
Yang Feng said with a sneer.
In fact, he is happy now, the situation is finally according to his expectations, towards the result he wants, Ngo Dinh Diem's coup d'état must be planned by the people of the United States, and when the dust settles after the Geneva negotiations, he will kick down Nguyen Phuc Ngai, who has always been pro-Ming, and then replace him with this little puppet of the people of the United States, and then he can toss there casually according to the will of the people of the United States.
But in this case, he has to do something, after all, the people of the United States are not authentic in doing this, even outsiders can see it, so it is completely understandable for him to express his appropriate anger, and then it seems that he can take the opportunity to take Phu Quoc Island again. Once Ngo Dinh Diem launched a coup d'état, he would directly send Nguyen Phuc Ha there to continue to be the king, anyway, Ngo Dinh Diem did not have the ability to drive him away again under the protection of the Ming army, and the people of the United States did not mind giving the Führer a little comfort, after all, they really wanted to put the bomber in Saigon, and the Ming had no other choice but to garrison troops on Phu Quoc Island.
Not only Phu Quoc, but also the Khmer seem to be able to take the opportunity to take it.
Now Laos is in his hands, at least the core part is in his hands, the total strength of the Vientiane Ming army base has exceeded 10,000 people, in addition to fighter bombers, there is also a mechanized infantry brigade stationed there in the name of protection. These people will not be withdrawn, they are invited by the Lao government, and whatever decision Geneva makes, it will be justified to be stationed there. A highway through Siam to transport supplies there is also under construction, a high-grade hardened road that will not only be sufficient to supply the base, but also give the two cities of Bangkok and Vientiane a real transportation artery that can really reach Laos.
If the Khmer is taken again, the entire Indochina Peninsula will be basically in his hands except for Annam, and when the time comes, he can take a group of younger brothers to watch from the sidelines, watch the people of the United States and Nguyen Aiguo go desperately, and even show favor to Nguyen Aiguo if necessary, such as getting some inconsequential arms and the like to give Comrade Li to Comrade Li first, and then let Comrade Li transfer them to him, anyway, the Mekong River channel is controlled in hand, and it is very simple to send something to Comrade Li.
After all, the death of Stalin in anger has seriously affected the relationship between Comrade Li and him, and although it has not affected the economic cooperation between the two sides, the popularity of Xinhua has also weakened somewhat.
Fortunately, they were about to break with the Soviets, and it was not a big deal on this issue.
"Order Jin Yiwei to be ready, once Ngo Dinh Diem really has to launch a coup d'état, then Nguyen Phuc Hae must be controlled in his hands, and if necessary, he can be snatched out by force."
Thinking of this, Yang Feng immediately said.
Hu Hao nodded hurriedly. (To be continued.) )
