Zhang Xuewu's principle has always been to dig deep holes and accumulate grain! This point has no practical significance for Zhang Xuewu, just like the latest fighter with the Mustang P-51 as the prototype secretly developed, in fact, the Mustang P-51 layout has nothing special, but it perfectly combines the new aviation technology in one, using advanced laminar flow airfoil, highly concise fuselage design, and reasonable in-flight equipment layout, which greatly reduces its aerodynamic resistance, and in the case of size and weight comparable to similar aircraft, the fuel load has increased by three times, This gave it a range of 1,370 km, enough to cover the longest-range attacks of the Battle Bastion bombers mounted on Rehe.

Historically, after Britain ordered a large number of P-51 fighters, pilots reported that the Mustang P-51 was the best fighter in the world, and the U.S. Army learned about this situation and studied the sample aircraft of North American Airlines, and also ordered a large number of this aircraft, the outstanding surname and easy to fly characteristics of the Mustang P-51 made British and American officials realize its potential for improvement, and then North American Airlines and British Rolls-Royce cooperated to replace the P-51 engine with Rolls-Royce's "Morin" engine, As a result of this crucial technological improvement, the P-51 Mustang fighter was able to achieve a significant increase in its maximum speed at high altitude from 610 km/h to 709 km/h.

After that, North American Airlines made a series of improvements to the Mustang P-51, so on top of this secretly designed fighter, Zhang Xuewu decided to adopt a light-weight airframe, a new type of propeller, a full-vision plastic cockpit canopy, a new airfoil, etc., so that its surname and maneuverability were further improved, with a maximum speed of 788 kilometers per hour, and the technical and surname indicators of the Mustang P-51 in history were the best comprehensive surnames among all fighters in World War II, and the code name was "Tianhuo" The new secret fighter has a wing length of 10.02 meters, a wingspan of 11.1 meters, a wing area of 21.7 square meters, an empty weight of 2.99 tons, a take-off weight of 5 tons, a single engine power of 1,029 horsepower, an altitude of 12,000 meters, a range of 3,800 kilometers, a combat radius of more than 1,900 kilometers, and the armament of the weapons includes four 0.50-inch caliber machine guns, a 30-millimeter cannon, and can hang 900 kilograms of external bombs, or carry 270 honeycomb 20-millimeter rockets!

It can be said that the surname of the Tianhuo fighter has been fully close to the perfect data of the most complete model of the Mustang P-51 fighter, and the P-51 "Mustang" fighter has been widely used in Asian and European battlefields in history, not only for air combat, but also for escort, interception, ground attack, and has also been converted into a reconnaissance aircraft, more than ten countries have purchased and used this aircraft, Mustang P-51 is the largest fighter produced in the United States, until the seventies is still flying to undertake combat missions under special terrain conditions, The P-51 fighter was rated by many aviation historians and authorities as the best fighter of the Second World War.

In fact, Zhang Xuewu's choice to manufacture the Tianhuo fighter is also a last resort, because the investment in this research and development is like a gold-swallowing monster, the tenth theater controlled by Zhang Xuewu is not the United States, let alone the strength of a country, and many technologies are still in the application of research, Zhang Xuewu has undoubtedly come to the forefront of the world, and the price paid is that he will often fall, many times it is not a good thing to run fast, but if you want to expand and grow your air force rapidly, you must make a fuss from the fighter, Neither the BF-109 series nor the Saker fighter is suitable for novices, and experienced pilots are needed to exert their combat effectiveness.

The theoretical data is close to the Mustang fighter's Tianhuo fighter, in fact, the single data is not the best, and the overall level is not the highest, but the Tianhuo is the most balanced, the most suitable for novices, all the data are of a high level, and easy to make, stable, known as the training aircraft in the air!

In the high-intensity and brutal war of attrition, the aircraft suitable for novices to quickly master is a good aircraft, in order to play the highest efficiency of the team, history records that the average life of World War II pilots is twenty-five combat flights, most of the pilots are killed in the first three engagements, a few can live to ten times, a very small number of aces, can survive twenty-five times, the German super ace Hartmann is 1200 times, of which 600 fired, shot down 352 enemy planes! But there is nothing to replicate in this miraculous deeds and achievements.

Like the F-4U kind of fierce horse, in the hands of the old bird can be handy, novice piloting can not even play half of the ability, is absolutely not the main force, in fact, in the choice of Zhang Xuewu also hesitated repeatedly for a long time, on the fighter of World War II, the US Navy's carrier-based aircraft, from F6F to the ultimate F8F, and the army fighter is two extremes of development, the US Army Aviation's fighters are escort-based, high-altitude surnames can be very good, such as P51 and P47, this point can be arbitrarily ravaged any fighter, It also occupies a certain advantage in dealing with the Mozu, but the fighting surname can, especially the fighting surname between fighters at medium and low altitudes is poor, which is far inferior to Germany's ME109, Britain's Spitfire and the zero type, all say that the zero type is very flexible, so that many Allied forces once did not dare to fight with the zero war, but since the birth of the F6F, the zero war is the object of ravage, especially after the F6F-5 is put into service, the maximum take-off mass is almost twice that of the F6F-5 with excellent aerodynamic design and strong power, In the dogfight, it can completely explode the zero battle, and even in the circling maneuver that the zero war is best at, it can cut the inside line of the zero battle to end the battle, and its powerful firepower and solid construction are not possessed by any other aircraft.

The advantages of the Mustang P-51 are comprehensive, all indicators are very good, there are no obvious weaknesses, there are no obvious advantages, novices get started quickly, if you are a novice, this aircraft is undoubtedly the best! Therefore, Zhang Xuewu deliberately adjusted the tail and auxiliary wings and the overall design when designing the Tianhuo, making it more flexible, focusing on the balance of the flexible surname of the low-altitude combat, which is also the biggest challenge to the design of the Tianhuo fighter, but now Zhang Xuewu has enough time and resources, and the numerous mineral resources in the west have provided a large number of raw materials for the emerging three industrial youth cities, which quickly became finished products on the production line, and became tanks, fighters, artillery, and machine guns to the troops.

Baotou Industrial Base is the lifeblood of Zhang Xuewu, and the new Northwest Industrial Base is the guarantee of Zhang Xuewu's rise, Zhang Xuewu also began to divide all such as the Armored Tank Design Institute, Aviation Power Design Institute, Aviation Research and Development Institute, Electronics One, and Five Institutes into two, and diverted some researchers to the newly built Northwest Research Department. The harsh system required a delay for him to even enter and exit himself.

Zhang Xuewu for the Baotou Industrial Base and the Northwest Industrial Base Youth City to develop a very complete and detailed set of security measures, even to the point of headache and very disgusting, according to Zhang Xuewu's level of security, Baotou Industrial Base and the Northwest Industrial Base Youth City is divided into five levels of security, the overall industrial zone is 50 kilometers away from the security zone, with a 24-hour convoy of troops and foot guard detachment patrol, people entering this area must be the tenth theater of war around the political axe issued by the household registration guarantee, This guarantee is a joint multi-family guarantee, the second area is to protect the living area, according to the southeast and northwest different industries are divided into four satellite cities for family members and workers, this area needs to have a personal identity annual inspection card, health inspection card, each entry needs to be registered for the record, all personnel in the factory area have passed the political examination, before they can enter the protection area, each post positioning fact real-name system, the team leader identifies the team members, the squad leader identifies the team leader, the foreman, the section leader confirms one by one, to prevent someone from impersonating for destruction, As for the strengthening of the reserve in the core area, all the research institutions are concentrated! The scientific research personnel who enter are concentrated in the security protection area, and their families are also concentrated in the security protection area, and the medical and health system has the ability to read inside, and all the necessary needs are the implementation of a first-level rationing system, and the password to enter the institute is changed from time to time every week, and the living area and the work research area are separated from each other, and the working scientific research personnel need to change all their clothes when entering the research institute, and no information is allowed to be brought out.

As for the core secret of the Flame Project, it is not within these five levels of security protection, it belongs to the core secret of the 10th War Zone, a specially established department of the Historical War Zone, the 7th District!

The seventh district is directly under the leadership of Zhang Xuewu! Its security forces were specially selected by the Security Bureau, and it can be said that the entire 10th Theater practiced a military and political system that was different from that of the Kuomintang, which was related to Zhang Xuewu's complete destruction of the Kuomintang's party headquarters and grassroots organizations in various places.

Regarding the security measures implemented by Zhang Xuewu in the 10th War Zone, Hao Wenbin, as the deputy commander, helplessly sighed that it was almost perverted and cumbersome, just like Zhang Xuewu, who was always engaged in special operations, was most afraid of special operations, and the thief was most afraid of not the police, but the fear of being looted by his peers.

Zhang Xuewu has always been based on military first, originally Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan three people's livelihood Zhang Xuewu can still deal with, but now the entire northwest, in the suppression of bandits at the same time, the hardship of the northwest also made Zhang Xuewu stunned, almost most of the families do not have the next day of food, the people buy grain for one or two days, more people still live a primitive life of bartering, it can be said that the money of the entire northwest has entered the pocket of the Ma family, Zhang Xuewu's uprooting greatly alleviated the overall situation in the northwest, and the opposition and Hui riots were not expected to occur.
