It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is a force to override public opinion, after all, the generals in the Wehrmacht who oppose the installation of F1 fighters are only partial. Of course, what they said is also very reasonable, after all, with a range of 1,000 kilometers, the combat radius is only 3 or 400 kilometers.

Three or four hundred kilometers ...

Even if it is to escort dive bombers, this range may not be enough, let alone strategic bombers like H3 and H40?

At best, this point of F1 can be used as an airport defender or something...

Therefore, in the case of low air pressure, in the eyes of the generals, even if the performance of the F1 is high, it is useless. What's more, compared with the ZD20, which is already close to the limit of piston fighters, the F1 does not go beyond much...

Ahem, although there are still opposition opinions in the military even after Yan Guangli overruled the public opinion, the government is quite unanimous about the potential of aircraft equipped with high-performance jet engines such as the F1.

Therefore, while F1 is frequently tested for flights, new and improved models, as well as projects such as jet bombers and jet airliners, have also been launched.

While the F1 is still flying test, the next model, that is, a new fighter with high speed and long range, is also on the horse.

Even the military has put forward several projects that are intimidating even in Yan Guang's opinion. Although the Nationalist government was also famous for its money in the past, considering that the Wehrmacht has expanded to nearly 7 million, and it is very likely that 3 million soldiers will be mobilized again in the short term, the funds will be relatively tight at that time, not to mention that there is a project in Lop Nur, which is also a gold-swallowing monster.

Therefore, in the end, Yan Guang crossed out these projects that were highly anticipated by the military.

The reason for the cross-out is not financial, the most important thing is that these projects are simply not possible.

After all, Yan Guang is from the future, and it is clear that advanced projects like those proposed by the military may not appear even in decades.

Of course, this is also a bit inappropriate. Like a vertical take-off and landing fighter or something, it appeared a little earlier...

Not...

Probably twenty or thirty years later...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The military was somewhat frustrated that Yan Guang had crossed out so many items. However, for such an impossible project, Yan Guang will never be soft.

On the other hand, the campaign launched against the Lunsai area also sounded...

"Boom Boom !!"

Although it can hit heavy artillery through the Taiwan Strait. At present, the Wehrmacht has not been equipped, and it seems that it is not ready to equip it―――――― in the eyes of the Kuomintang, although it is somewhat difficult to take Taiwan, the final result has already been decided. Therefore, it is not a wise thing to build such a cannon with a large investment but little practical effect.

Of course. If an ultra-long-range heavy artillery can be built that can bombard the Japanese mainland directly from Shandong, even if the price is high, the government will pay for it.

It's a pity that with the current technical conditions, there is nothing possible. You must know that even in later generations, those so-called large naval guns with a caliber of 150mm only had a range of more than 100 kilometers when using extended-range shells.

Even the most famous Paris cannon of World War I, although the caliber is only 210mm, the barrel is 34 meters long. If the cannon is erected. Its muzzle can even exceed that of a super cannon on the roof of a 10-story building, and the range is only 131 kilometers...

As for the equally famous K5 train gun, although its 280mm caliber is stronger than the Paris cannon, the range is only half of the Paris cannon...

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to create a long-range heavy artillery with a range of seven or eight hundred kilometers. Not only is it not possible now, but it will also be impossible in the next fifty or sixty years. What's more, it is obviously much better to directly hit long-range targets with missiles than to build such an overly obvious cannon. ..., in fact, at the moment the Wehrmacht is also creating missiles as a weapon. And the finished product has already come out, only the current one is a missile that uses liquid fuel. The range is only 300 kilometers, and it is impossible to fly to the Japanese mainland, not even at the Vladivostok base, which is the closest to the Japanese mainland.

In addition, the power of this kind of thing is not very great, at least for the time being, it is only a new type of weapon with chewy head and great potential for development.

In history, the V1 missile is indeed outstanding, but if you build tens of thousands of missiles, it is actually better to build more bombers and bombs, after all, the power of incendiary bombs and 500-kilogram aerial bombs is obvious to all.

Therefore, although liquid missiles have been built at present, the Wehrmacht has no plans for large-scale installation so far, even Yan Guang.

However, due to the characteristics of the missile, coupled with advances in aero engines, a jet engine powered missile is being designed. Compared to liquid missiles, the new missiles with jet engines will significantly exceed the range.

At the same time, the research department is also designing the world's first anti-ship missile based on the characteristics of the missile―――――― which is much more practical than the so-called land attack missile, at least at this stage.

No matter how immature they are, the range of missiles is always much farther than that of naval guns, and of course, it is certainly not comparable to the carrier-based aircraft carried by the aircraft carrier fleet. However, if air-launched anti-ship missiles carried by carrier-based aircraft can be designed as soon as possible, then the strike range of the aircraft carrier fleet can undoubtedly be much improved.

In addition, equipped with anti-ship missiles, even smaller missile boats can pose an extremely lethal threat to large missiles, just like torpedo boats during World War I, and far safer than torpedo boats.

In 1967, Egypt launched the Soviet-made and supplied Styx missile, which sank the Israeli destroyer USS Eliot, making the Israeli Navy the first country in the world to be sunk by an anti-ship missile.

Later, Israel learned the hard lessons of the previous campaign, developed the Viom Bee-class missile boats and the Angel missiles they carried, and countered the Egyptian army.

Therefore, missile boats are very suitable for China's allies in Asia and other regions in the future, after all, most of China's so-called allies will not be able to have the same strength as Western countries for a considerable period of time in the future.

In this case, weapons such as missile boats, which are easy to maintain and use, and at the same time less expensive, are quite attractive to China's allies.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although China currently has classified projects such as missiles and final word, these have nothing to do with the Thais. Because even if it is the earliest project, it is estimated that it will not appear until the end of the war. As for anti-ship missiles or something, it is estimated that they may not be able to come out after the war is over.

And it was clear that the Thais would never be able to hold out until the end of the war.

Because of the Thai army's defensive line that was shaking under heavy artillery bombardment. It already symbolizes the future destiny of Thailand.

"How long has the shelling been going on?"

In the headquarters, Ho Zhuguo, who was the commander of the group army, asked his chief of staff while looking at the Thai army's position on the opposite side, which had turned into a sea of fire.

"An hour and three minutes..."

After looking at the watch in his hand, the chief of staff replied.

"Has it been an hour..."

Look at the positions of the Thai army that are still under shelling. He Zhuguo thought about it and ordered.

"Stop the shelling after ten minutes, and additionally tell the troops below to launch an offensive when the shelling stops."

"Understood."

Soon, artillery positions in the rear of the Wehrmacht began to stop shelling. ..., and when the shelling stopped, the Wehrmacht units in the positions were also under the cover of heavy equipment capable of being used in Indochina, such as infantry fighting vehicles. Advance towards the positions of the Thai army.

On the other side, after suffering more than an hour of shelling, although they were very careful when digging anti-artillery holes in the position, because the intensity of the Wehrmacht's shelling was obviously beyond the expectations of the Thai army, the Thais still suffered heavy casualties in the process of shelling.

In addition, the Thai army was obviously not as tenacious as the Wehrmacht, the Japanese army, or other foreign powers, so by the time the Wehrmacht's large forces advanced up, at least a little contact, the Thai army on the position had already collapsed.

"This battle is really easy to fight..."

Look at your own troops who seem to have successfully occupied their positions. The chief of staff smiled at He Zhu Guodao.

"Not necessarily..."

He Zhuguo shook his head.

"It's just the first line of ground for the Thais. And the terrain here can also play to our advantage, the following estimate is not so simple. At least the two divisions reinforced by the Japanese will definitely not be as poor as the Thais..."

"You're right, but I'm not very optimistic about the fate of the Thais."

Hearing the chief of staff say this, He Zhuguo also smiled.

"Me too."

Indeed, no matter what the Thais do next, take advantage of the location. How the Japanese worked hard to help the Thai government, the difference in strength between them cannot be ignored. Even the Japanese sent all their troops from Australia and Southeast Asia to Thailand. It is also impossible to stop the footsteps of the Wehrmacht, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

And the advancing troops on the other side. After capturing the Thai position, he quickly stopped, and began to deal with the Thai prisoners and wounded in the position.

It's not that they don't want to push forward in one go, it's that Thailand's geography is really not cooperative.

Although He Zhuguo and other generals also wanted to have a blitzkrieg battle similar to the Germans here, it is a pity that Thailand, as a tropical country, is really not suitable for mobile troops to fight, especially now that it is the rainy season, it is very troublesome to mechanize and want to move, let alone any long-distance running...

Fortunately, with the strength of the National Defense Force, even if it advances slowly, it will not be too slow, so He Zhuguo and the others are not in a hurry.

"But there are so many mosquitoes here..."

Just as the troops on the front line were sending back the prisoners and wounded, He Zhuguo slapped the table, and when he uncovered the palm of his hand, a flat mosquito corpse soon appeared on the table...

In a tropical country like Thailand, where there are also many rainforests, mosquitoes are really hated. Although the Yunnan government has prepared a large number of anthelmintic agents before entering Thailand, the effect is really not very good...

"Forget it, bear with us, at least our situation is much better than that of the Thais..."

As he said this, the chief of staff scratched the mosquito bite with his hand.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After conquering the first line of defense, the Thais and the Japanese did not care much, after all, the first line of defense is just an appetizer, and the real meal is still to come.

But the extravagant and terrifying heavy artillery fire of the Wehrmacht. The Japanese and Thais, on the other hand, take it very seriously. After all, in places where such armored forces are difficult to deploy, shells and bombs are very real things. And in order to solve the threat of artillery to the line of defense, the Thais and the Japanese even sent some troops. Attempts were made to sabotage the artillery positions of the Wehrmacht, but unfortunately these operations were discovered and failed by the garrison. …,

While the Thais and Japanese were still thinking of other options, the shelling had already begun.

Because the operation was carried out in the rainforest, the IDF was not equipped with heavy artillery of a large caliber. However, even so, the smallest caliber artillery on the artillery position is about 120mm, and 210mm heavy artillery and howitzers abound, so as soon as the fire is fired, it has already brought at least hundreds of casualties to the Japanese and Thai troops.

By the time the shelling lasted for more than an hour, the casualties of the Axis forces formed by Japan and Thailand could only be calculated in 10,000. Many Japanese and Thai soldiers were buried by the anti-artillery holes that collapsed by the shells, which is also the biggest reason for so many casualties.

On the other hand, the Wehrmacht, on the other hand, had not yet used the most powerful artillery incendiary bombs at this time―――――― after all, this was a rainforest, and if it really burned down, it might even burn itself.

On the Japanese and Thai side, the Japanese are also involved, and the back line is indeed much more tenacious, but unfortunately many times the will is important. But it can't turn the tide. Especially when the will of the other side is no worse than this side.

Therefore, although in the first few offensives, the Wehrmacht offensive was repulsed by the Japanese, but after three days and three nights of hard fighting, the Chinese flag was finally erected on the last position of the Lonzai defensive line...

And with the fall of Lunse, it means that the door to Bangkok has been opened.

Soldiers are fast. Although the geography of Thailand is really troublesome, in order to prevent the Thais from continuing to rely on the terrain to resist in front. After leaving a part of the troops to take care of the wounded and prisoners of war, Ho Zhuguo still continued to march towards Bangkok with the strength of an army.

At this time, the Thai government also began to return from the troops that were guarding the border between Thailand and Cambodia. Responsible for assisting in the defense of Bangkok.

It's a pity that these troops not only lack combat effectiveness and quantity, but also have uneven arrival times, so although these troops rushed to the front of He Zhuguo in time, they were defeated one by one in the end.

Of course, they didn't play a role at all, at least they still managed to get a week for the Bangkok side―――――― they couldn't help it, the guerrillas along the way were too annoying.

In the past week, the Bangkok government has also begun to build Bangkok into a fortress, and according to intelligence obtained by the MIA's spies in Bangkok, the Thais seem to be making Bangkok a fortress like Moscow.

It's a pity that it is obvious that the Thais do not have the strength of the Russians, and China is not Germany, which is seriously lacking in strength...

So after a week, the troops under the command of Ho Zhu Guo finally arrived at the city of Bangkok after defeating the Thai troops and the annoying guerrillas who were blocking along the way...

"Bangkok..."

Standing on a high ground and looking through a telescope at Bangkok in the distance, Ho seemed to recall his experience in Bangkok.

As a relatively senior general in the National Defense Forces, Ho Chuk also went to Thailand as an officer sent by the National Government to assist the Thai government in forming and training troops. And unlike ordinary people, He Zhuguo stayed in Thailand for three years.

In the past three years, He Zhuguo is not only more familiar with the situation in Thailand, but also has a deeper feeling.

In fact, this is also the reason why the General Staff will send Ho Zhu Guo, although there are many people in the National Defense Force who are more capable of fighting than He Zhu Guo, but there are really few people like He Zhu Guo who are familiar with the situation in Thailand.

However, looking at Bangkok in the distance at this moment, He Zhuguo's heart has become somewhat complicated.

After all, he had come with his troops this time to turn the city he knew so well into ashes.

Fortunately, He Zhuguo was a relatively good soldier after all, so he quickly put aside his personal feelings and thought about how to capture this city, which is one of the few in Southeast Asia.

On the other hand, with the arrival of the Ho Zhu Ministry, the Thai government in Bangkok also seems to want to take advantage of the opportunity of Ho Zhu Guo having only a few tens of thousands of people to eat the Ho Zhu State Department first.

It's a pity that after the Thai troops came out of Bangkok, they were attacked head-on by He Zhu's national department.

Of the five infantry divisions and one division that attacked, at least two infantry divisions were half-crippled by He Zhuguo, and the remaining troops had to retreat depressedly, and it was obvious that the result of this operation had dealt them a lot of blows.

At the same time, the troops that had been left behind by He Zhuguo gradually arrived and joined up with the troops under He Zhuguo's command. By the time more than 100,000 people gathered here in He Zhuguo, the Japanese and Thais in Bangkok no longer dared to make any rash moves...

At this moment, the Ministry of Ho Zhu has formed a force against Bangkok...
