On April 1, 1941, the meeting room of the Chahar National Defense Science and Technology Building was crowded with people, and more than 100 people dressed in various costumes were sitting in the living room, communicating with the people around them from time to time, but although they were all whispering, their eyes swept to the front of the "main" table from time to time, although it was still empty, these people were the bosses and engineers of various aircraft manufacturing companies in China, including the Northwest Aircraft Manufacturing Company, the Huaxia Aircraft Manufacturing Company, Star Aircraft Manufacturing Company and other more than 20 largest and most powerful aircraft manufacturing companies in China.

Yes, these people represent the heads and brains of the aircraft manufacturing industry in China, and today they are invited by the General Logistics Department and the General Armament Department of the Chinese National Defense Forces to come here to hold a bid expansion meeting.

With the advent of World War II, Su Tong felt that it was necessary to further strengthen the air force of China, which was deeply experienced by Su Tong from later generations, and there was a proverb in the military circles of later generations, who won the sky and won the war.

Don't you see that in the Gulf War, the Serbian conflict, the Afghanistan war, and other military conflicts in later generations, how can the Americans be so arrogant and coaxed to beat anyone who is not pleasing to the eye, and not afraid of retaliation from others at all? Isn't it because he has absolute air supremacy?

This is also the same in World War II, Su Tong, who has a deep understanding of this, as early as 1936, he instructed Gao Zhihang, the then director of the aviation force, to carry out a "10,000-person pilot plan 1" in Chahar Province alone to build six new aviation schools set by the military, and after being elected president of the Republic of China, he invested heavily in more than 100 flying schools and non-governmental flying clubs throughout the country. Su Tong's request was to provide the Air Force with no less than 8,000 qualified pilots every year to make up for the loss of pilots at any time during the war.

This plan 1 was finally completed by Gao Zhihang, who was so tired that he took off a layer of skin, in the early years of April 1.

With pilots, the output and quality of aircraft must also keep up, and with the vigorous promotion and support of the government, aircraft manufacturing companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. In fact, the planes of this era are all propeller structures, and the manufacturing threshold is actually not high, and the technical difficulty of manufacturing aircraft and manufacturing cars is not very different.

But then again, although the threshold for aircraft manufacturing is not high, there are not many companies that can build it well, and most of the orders for aircraft come from the military, and it is precisely the aircraft used by the military that has the strictest requirements. After several years of fierce fighting, now the ones that can survive are the aircraft manufacturing companies with good ability, and there are about 20 or so aircraft manufacturing companies in the country at this time, and all of them have received invitations to come here today.

, "Lao Cao, your star company sent a large sum of money last year, and this year's order, you can raise your hand and give it to our Huaxia Company." Huo Feng, the boss of Huaxia Aircraft Manufacturing Company, said to the people around him with a smile.

Cao Zhenyu, the boss of the star company who looks very rich, rolled his eyes to the side when he heard this, "Lao Huo, I found that you are not authentic, I remember that last year's order for the "giant" transport aircraft was snatched away by your company, which is a full hundred, how can it be enough for your company to produce for more than half a year, why are you talking about cool things now." ”

Huo Feng stopped hearing this, and sneered, "I don't know who snatched the order of the 100 "Hellcats" that originally belonged to our company, but now they are blaming me for saying cool things." ”

"That's because you don't have the skills to do it well, the quality of the "hellcat" you produce is not as good as our company's production, and I will not hand over the order to you if I am the head of the equipment department. ”

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and the rivals in these two shopping malls have not been pinched before the bidding meeting is held.

They are arguing here, and some people on the side are watching jokes" "Eh, I said what are you arguing about, you have the ability to rob the order of the Northwest Aircraft Manufacturing Company this time, that is called a big skill, what kind of skill is it to fight behind closed doors, if you want to grab it, you have to grab the biggest one!" ”

"Cut!" The person who spoke was ignored by Cao Huo and the others.

If you want to grab an order from the Northwest Aircraft Manufacturing Company, you haven't woken up until last night, and you should be snickering if people don't grab your order. What kind of company is the Northwest Aircraft Manufacturing Company, but it is the most powerful company in China, and the planes they produced in the past accounted for 48 percent of China's domestic output, and you want to take food from other people's mouths? It's better to save it.

As if hearing the discussion of the people behind, Liu 11, general manager of the Northwest Aircraft Manufacturing Company, who was sitting in front, turned around and smiled at a few people: "A few bosses, don't worry, I heard that this order is a lot of any or a few companies can't eat, everyone can't grab it." ”

"Oh! Manager Liu, how about your company has always been well-informed? "Everyone knows that the Northwest Aircraft Manufacturing Company belongs to the giant of the Northwest Group, and the person behind the Northwest Group is the current President Su, and their news channels are naturally the most well-informed.

"It's nothing, everyone will wait and see and leave." Liu 11 did not answer this question,

Just smiled mysteriously.

At this moment, a group of soldiers walked in from the door of the conference room, led by General Ma Jun, the logistics minister of Huaxia, who was known as Su Tong's great butler.

The general, who claimed to always have a flat face and a "dead face", soon came to the "Lord" stage and sat down, and said into the microphone in his calm tone that had not changed for 10,000 years: "Okay, everyone is quiet, and now the bidding meeting has officially begun." ”

Ma Jun, a cyborg who had been in charge of logistics since Su Tong was in charge of the Chahar militia, was known for his rigorous work attitude and meticulous efficiency. Although he did not assume the main seat of any combat army in the army, he had to give him three points of face for any combat army, and he had in his hands the rations and equipment of all combat armies.

Ma Jun did not open the folder in his hand, but said directly: "In order to strengthen the modernization of the Air Force and enhance the strength of the Air Force, the Air Force has put forward the requirements for the research and development of new fighters.

The Ministry of National Defense, the General Adviser Department, and the General Armament Department also jointly issued an order to start production of new fighters and bombers. The requirements for the new fighter we bid for this time are as follows: We require the data requirements of this new fighter as follows: the maximum take-off weight is 3,200 kilograms, the combat radius is 2,000 kilometers, the maximum take-off weight is 5,200 kilograms, the maximum speed is 720 kilometers per hour, and the practical ceiling: 12,600 meters The climb rate: 1,000 and 50 meters, divided into practical ceilings. It is required to develop a prototype within two months and deliver it to the General Armament Department. ”

, "Hiss ......"

Hearing this series of data, everyone gasped, without him, this requirement is too difficult for all companies at present.

At present, the maximum speed of the latest "Hellcat" carrier-based aircraft and fighters equipped by Huaxia is only more than 600 kilometers per hour, and the combat radius is only about 1,000 kilometers. Coupled with a climb rate of 1,005 meters per minute, a bomb load of 5,200 kilograms, and an altitude limit of 12,600 meters, this is a fighter, this is simply a universal bomber that integrates combat, reconnaissance, bombing, and escort!

Just when everyone was surprised, several logistics officers in the conference room had already distributed the bidding documents to the bosses present one by one.

"Sub 11, do you think our company can solve this order?" Cao Zhenyu gently asked Wu Zi11, the chief engineer beside him.

"Boss, I guess it's very suspenseful, our company's strength is simply not enough to design and manufacture such a high-performance fighter in two months. Well, in order to increase the range, it is necessary to increase the fuel load or reduce the fuel consumption of the idea, but to do so is to reduce the output power of the aircraft, but to reduce the output power, the climb rate and combat performance of the aircraft will inevitably become miserable, this requirement is too high for our company's technical strength, and we can't do it anyway. If you can give us two years, maybe I can try. ”

"Grass for two years!" Two years later, the yellow cabbage is cold, and what is the matter with us. Cao Zhenyu couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth. Now the aviation manufacturing industry is extremely competitive, every day there are new companies born, there are also old companies go out of business, two years later, even if the star company really built this aircraft, then there is nothing for them, and if there is no order, can the star company support it for two years? Although Star Company can also maintain some orders for downstream parts and BF-109 fighters for a while, that is by no means what Cao Zhenyu wants.

Now the performance requirements of this new aircraft in everyone's hands are put forward by Su Tong, and this fighter is the famous universal fighter P-15 Mustang fighter in another time and space. This is one of the best fighters in World War II and the best propeller fighter in later generations. Of course, those that haven't been developed yet don't count as doomsday fighters or the like.

"Boss, we can't make this, but we can make this!" Wu Zi 11

He pointed to another plane next to him.

This is a bomber, and the requirements put forward above are as follows: maximum speed of 570 kilometers per hour, hour) cruising speed of 350 kilometers per hour) combat endurance range of 5,230 kilometers) practical ceiling of transport endurance of 10,000 and 200 meters) climb of 270 meters, minutes) wing surface negative (337 kilograms, meters)

power, weight ratio of 121 watts, kg)

"Damn!" Cao Zhenyu burst out again.! @
