With the arrival of the Great Bad Wolf Fleet of the Chinese Empire in Athens, Greek Prime Minister Metaxas organized a huge welcome ceremony and held meetings with Li Dingxin, Wang Guoming and others, during which Greece urgently needed to obtain advanced weapons and equipment from the Chinese Empire in order to deal with the military invasion of Italy, because the Italians had already begun to move

In April 1936, eight months after the former deputy prime minister of Greece, General Metaxas, became prime minister, the birthplace of democracy, was placed under an unprecedented military dictatorship

Compared to some of his historical peers, Metaxas was a smart man, he did not carry out a routine purge, and all the purges were carried out quietly, under the careful planning of the head of the secret police, Maria Dakis, left-wing politicians and trade union leaders were imprisoned or exiled** The organization was severely damaged, witnessed several murderous tricks, and Prime Minister May's political opponents knew the time to turn neutral, and all free speech was suppressed, and the dictator established a Nazi-style youth organization (e.o.n)

Metaxas's belief that constitutional democracy is impossible to have an effective administration – a Reinhardt-esque assertion that has been proven, at least militarily, by history

The smoke of the 1936 war was already choking, and the Greek dictator's sense of smell was clearly stronger than that of Chamberlain and Daladier with perfume handkerchiefs – although Metaxas was also a Nazi fan and was called a German by international opinion, Metaxas did not think that Hitler would help Greece against Italy, which was eyeing Greek territory

Under the leadership of Metaxas, the Greek army was quickly armed, and the modernization of the army and the formulation of the military mobilization plan were in full swing, and the army was under the command of General Papagos, the chief of the army's chief of staff, the main assistant of Metaxas, and commanded a large number of public works, especially those strategically necessary, and intensified the construction of new roads in the border areas, replacing the old railways with new tracks, and at the same time repairing a number of fortresses

Greece's foreign trade has always been dominated by Germany, Metaxas tried to change its trading partners to the Chinese Empire and the United Kingdom, but the foreign trade deficit with the Chinese Empire was always high, so Metaxas decided to focus on the export of tobacco and other goods to Britain in large quantities, he welcomed the British delegation to stay in Greece and tried to exclude all German institutions

The Balkan democracies were terrified in the face of the Nazi fangs, and the rudder was defeated, but it was Greece, which was one of the four major dictatorships on the European continent that really defended its national independence and glory to a certain extent, and it cannot but be said that it was a thought-provoking irony, starting with the Juntrum Convention in July 1936, Greece began a series of diplomatic activities, signed a series of diplomatic and friendly treaties, especially the conclusion of the treaty of friendship and neutrality with Turkey in 1938, so that Greece could deal with the imminent threat from the West

With the outbreak of World War II, Germany was busy fighting on the Western Front, and Italy was not making good progress on the French battlefield, so it took aim at the Balkan countries

In September 1938, Italy withdrew its troops stationed in Albania on the Greek border, and reaffirmed the Italo-Greek Treaty of Friendship of 1928, which denied any attempt at aggression against Greece, and Mussolini played an old trick with no new ideas, intending to paralyze the Greek government, just as his good brother Hitler paralyzed Britain and France, but the Greeks refused to become the jewel on Mussolini's wishful thinking, and Metaxus took all the flattery that Mussolini threw at him, while quietly preparing for war, and diplomatic activities continued to be fruitful: a financial aid was negotiated with Britain, whereby Greece could withdraw from Germany's economic control

At the end of 1938, Greece formally joined the agreement signed by Britain and France to oppose the aggression and mutual support of the Allied powers, and Greece officially joined the Entente camp, although Turkey was also the camp of the Allied countries, but Turkey never entered the war, and Britain and France declared no war against Britain and France, and Britain and France also had a very tacit understanding that Turkey did not send troops to maintain a non-war and non-harmonious relationship with Turkey, and made every effort to deal with Germany, Italy and Spain

After Greece joined the Entente, it did not want to enter the war, and it wanted to be like Turkey without war or peace, but Greece never had any extravagant hopes for the olive branch that the peace-loving Mussolini shook at him, and in February 1939 Metaxas began to call up the reserve army, and in March he spoke in a speech in which the country was in danger and asked the Greek military and civilians to prepare for war

At this time, Italian Prime Minister Mussolini touched a nose on the border between Italy and France, and was scolded by Hitler for being useless waste, Mussolini was very unhappy, and finally couldn't bear it under the stimulation of Hitler

On April 15, an Italian submarine torpedoed and sank the Greek patrol boat Eri in the harbor of Tinosou, while an Albanian named Khoja was killed in a border dispute, and Mussolini blamed Greece for this, and on May 26, Mussolini again directed a border incident, and on the 28th, an ultimatum came: the Italian army demanded that Greece cede Crete, Corfu and part of Ipiria, and freely use the port of Piraeus (the outer port of Athens)

If the Italian army's previous series of oolong incidents on the French battlefield can be called a mistake, then this Mussolini's ultimatum to Greece was directly labeled as a fool by the people of the world, because Mussolini was holding an old map when he issued an ultimatum to Greece, and the island of Crete marked on it had already been transferred to the Chinese Empire as a military base, Mussolini just wanted to find an excuse to wage war against Greece, and he didn't realize that he inadvertently touched the tiger whiskers of the Chinese Empire

As you can imagine, just half an hour after the ultimatum was issued, Mussolini's office was kicked in by Teng Jicong, the imperial Chinese ambassador to Italy

Are you declaring war on the Chinese Empire

Teng Jicong slapped his palm on Mussolini's desk and was murderous

It wasn't until many years later that Mussolini recalled the situation and couldn't help but shudder: "The ambassador of the Chinese Empire really didn't give me face, but I was already scared stupid at that time."

In the face of Ambassador Teng Jicong's roar, Mussolini looked innocent, and then Italian Foreign Minister Dolanod, who rushed in, hurriedly explained, saying that all this was a misunderstanding

Mussolini realized that he had made a lowest-level mistake, and hurriedly apologized to Teng Jicong, and immediately publicly apologized to the Chinese Empire, and sent the secretary of the Prime Minister's Office to the military tribunal to undertake it, which was regarded as an explanation to the Chinese Empire

Despite Mussolini's repeated blockade of the news, the next day, the world's media headlines reported the Italian government's oolong incident, which made Mussolini very faceless

At the same time, Greek Prime Minister Metaxas, who was smiling with a stomachache, also used only one word - oxi (no) cleanly rejected the Italian ultimatum

Mussolini, in order to divert the attention of the people of the world from him as soon as possible, immediately ordered the Italian army to invade Greece

The war began, and on the morning of June 2, the Italian army invaded Greece, and the spirited Mussolini ordered his men not to inform Hitler of the attack, so that he could read in the newspapers that I had occupied Greece

The Italian Offensive Army, consisting of eight divisions, including an armored division, and more than 150 aircraft, attempted to take Greece by surprise and quickly occupy Greece before the heavy snow covered the mountains

The battle plan of the Italian army stipulated: to launch an offensive from the Afgerian-Greek border, break through the Greek defense line and smash its basic force group; After that, it developed an offensive towards Thessaloniki (Thessaloniki), annihilating the remnants of the Greek army, occupying the entire territory of Greece, the Italian Albanian Army Group (under the command of General V. Praska), a total of 157,000 people, including 8 divisions, about 87,000 people, 163 tanks, 686 artillery pieces and 380 aircraft

The 1st, 2nd, and 5th armies deployed in the northern region by the Greek army (commander-in-chief is General A. Papagos) totaled 120,000 men, but only 2 divisions, 2 brigades and 13 separate infantry battalions were deployed on the front line of the Argentine-Syrian border, with a total of 27,000 men, 20 tanks, 220 artillery pieces and 36 aircraft

The Greek army was determined to rely on the border to build fortifications and organize defenses to prevent the Italian army from penetrating deep into the country

On June 2, the Italian army marched on three routes to Florina, Vovusa and Ioannina launched an attack, because the Italian army was equipped with the most advanced German No. 2 main battle tank, the Greek army was equipped with the M16 main battle tank imported from the Chinese Empire in the early days, although the gap in tank performance was not large, but Greece had limited financial resources, the number of tanks was less than the first line, the Greek army could not stop the onslaught of the Italian army's armored forces, and the Greek air force was not as strong as the Italian air force, so the Greek army lost again and again, and the Italian army took the opportunity to advance 50~60 kilometers south

However, the Greek army did not give up the war, and after losing the coastal plain, the Greek army took advantage of the favorable terrain in the mountains to resist stubbornly, on the one hand, it wanted to ask for help from the British and French Ententes, and on the other hand, it urged the Chinese Empire to deliver the military supplies purchased by Greece to the Greek military as soon as possible

In order to maintain its influence in the Balkans and open up a new battlefield for the war against Germany, Britain began to assist Greece in sending aviation to support the Greek army on October 29

With the visit of the Chinese Empire's Big Bad Wolf Fleet to Greece, the Greek military once again mentioned the issue of arms, so Li Dingxin and Wang Guoming quickly responded after studying and consulting the Imperial General Staff, and agreed to Metaxas's request to export arms and military supplies totaling up to 450 million dragon coins to Greece, which was much more expensive than the arms purchased by the Greek military before, but the Chinese Empire said that it could be delivered immediately, so the Greek military gritted its teeth and agreed, because this batch of military supplies is related to Greece's ability to withstand the invasion of the Italian army

The weapons and equipment urgently delivered by the Chinese Empire to the Greek military include 200 of the most advanced Jian-10 export fighters of the Chinese Empire, 300 M28A1 export main battle tanks, and 1,000 engines of the Jian-10 and M28 series tanks, which are used to help the Hellfire fighters and M16A8 main battle tanks in service in the Greek Air Force and Army

The Chinese Empire exported the Jian-10 fighters and M28 series main battle tanks in service to the outside world, mainly because the speed of innovation in the world's weapons and equipment was too fast, and European Britain, France, Germany and other countries made rapid scientific and technological progress during the treaty era after World War I, and the era when the Chinese Empire's aircraft, tanks and other weapons and equipment were ahead of Europe and the United States for more than ten or twenty years has passed, so if you want the belligerents to buy the weapons and equipment of the Chinese Empire, they must come up with the most advanced

Of course, at a time when European and American weapons and equipment were rapidly innovating and progressing, the Chinese Empire itself did not forget to innovate

Take the advanced weapons such as the J-10 fighter and the M28 main battle tank exported to the Greek army, which were already the weapons and equipment of the Chinese Empire more than 10 years ago, and the Chinese Empire has already developed more advanced weapons and equipment to replace the J-10 fighter and the M28 series of main battle tanks

According to the research and development standards of the fighter jets of the Chinese Imperial Air Force, after the Jian-10 Black Hawk fighter, the next batch of fighter models in service in the Chinese Empire were defined as J-11 fighter fighters, A-5 strong strike fighters, F-6 carrier-based fighters, and F-8 torpedo bombers, while bomber models were defined as H-7 strategic bombers and B-2 tactical bombers

The reason why a number of fighter and bomber models purchased by the Air Force appeared at once was mainly due to the continuous development and improvement of fighters, and their combat missions also changed dramatically

In the early days, there was only one model of fighter aircraft of the Imperial Chinese Air Force for mass production and service, and there was only one combat mission, which was to seize air supremacy, but with the continuous change of the mode of warfare, the Chinese emperor found that the tactical execution tasks of fighters in air-ground cooperative operations, air-sea cooperative operations and air-air operations were constantly changing

For example, when the air and ground are coordinated, the main task of the fighter planes of the Chinese Imperial Air Force is to attack the ground and use rockets and aerial bombs to attack the enemy's solid defense facilities, armored units and infantry, which requires the fighter to have a strong ground attack capability, and no longer pays attention to air combat, pays attention to dive speed and ground flight performance, which requires a fighter with strong ground attack power, rather than the characteristics of the traditional air superiority fighter fighter

Similarly, the combat mission of carrier-based fighters has also undergone great changes, and in the early days, the naval aviation of the Chinese Empire was only equipped with one type of carrier-based fighters, but in naval warfare, in addition to seizing air supremacy, carrier-based fighters also had to participate in the attack mission of bombing the enemy fleet and the attack on the coast to support the landing operation of the marines. The tactical requirement of bomb load is to skim the sea at low altitude, fly at high speed, approach the target, or dive at high speed to approach the target, which requires a new type of carrier-based bomber, and considering that the flight deck of the aircraft carrier is limited, it is impossible to be equipped with a large number of heavy bombers, so it is necessary for carrier-based fighters to have bombing capabilities, so as to evolve new purpose combat aircraft such as carrier-based fighter-bombers

According to the standard service standards of the Chinese Imperial Air Force fighters, the Imperial Air Force equipment will be replaced in a batch in ten years, that is, the standard process of designing, developing, serving, and retiring a batch of combat aircraft

For fighter fighters, the speed of the propeller engine of the Jian-10 series of fighters developed by the Chinese Empire in the twenties was close to the limit, and the Chinese Imperial Air Force Commission's attempt to continue to increase the speed of the propeller engine for more than five years failed, because aviation experts found that the speed of the propeller could no longer be increased after reaching 900 kilometers per hour

However, the speed of the fighter planes of Europe and the United States is developing at a high speed, and the speed of the main combat aircraft of Britain, France, Germany, and other countries has reached a speed of more than 800 kilometers per hour, and the Jian-10 fighters of the Chinese Empire have gradually lost their speed superiority, and for air combat, the speed advantage has always been regarded by the Chinese Imperial Air Force as the most important condition for absolute air supremacy

Therefore, the Air Force Committee of the Chinese Empire decided to withdraw from the path of propeller engines in time to look for other directions of development

Fortunately, at this critical moment, Wang Chenhao, the wise and martial emperor of the Chinese Empire, once again pointed out to the Imperial Air Force Committee the direction of the development of the next generation of fighters, that is, jet propulsion instead of propeller propulsion, so as to break through the speed barrier

In fact, a few years after the invention of the airplane, some people put forward the theory of jet propulsion, the earliest idea of the air jet engine was put forward by the Frenchman Lorraine in 1908, he proposed to connect the exhaust valve of the piston engine to an expanded nozzle, and use the reaction force of gas to be injected backwards from the nozzle to make the plane move forward, in 1910, the Romanian Koanda living in Paris carried out the earliest jet test flight, he used a piston engine to drive a fan in the pipe to rotate, and the air was sprayed backwards to produce a reaction thrust, on November 10 of that year, Koanda, who had never flown an airplane, made a short jump with an airplane of his own design

Although this test flight was not a success, many newspapers gave it a fairly high evaluation, and then in the early 30s of the 20th century, the British Whittle and the German O'Hain each completed the invention of the jet engine in the same period

On April 15, 1936, Ohin signed a contract with the Heinkel Aircraft Company to develop a jet engine, and in the following three years, Ohine finally completed the jet engine, named HES3, with a thrust of 4000 N, and a thrust-to-weight ratio of 1.12, and began to develop the supporting aircraft for test flights at the end of 1937, and the first prototype was completed in the spring of 1938, and was named HE-178

However, during this period, the British and Germans were still ignoring jet engines, so their jet engines were not taken seriously, in 1930, the British Air Force officer Whittle obtained a British jet engine design patent, after which he tried to persuade the military and aero-engine companies to develop this new engine, but without success, in 1935, some of Whittle's friends began to raise funds for his development, at the end of the same year, Whittle designed the first test machine, named WU, in March 1936, the jet power company specializing in the development of Whittle's designed engine was formally established, on April 12, 1937, the WU test machine was tested for the first time, which is a sign of the birth of the turbojet engineAfter the operation of the WU testing machine, the British side began to give financial support, the second testing machine was quickly abandoned due to the damage to the turbine blades, which exposed the two problems of blade material and combustion chamber, which were mutually contained, and the third testing machine had a relatively large improvement in structure compared with the first two

Jet engine and propeller engine are different, it relies on a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas produced after the combustion of air and kerosene to inject backwards to propel the aircraft forward, so generally there are special air intakes in front and side of the fuselage, and there are nozzles in the rear of the fuselage, and the jet engine can obtain a higher thrust-to-weight ratio, so that the aircraft can obtain higher aircraft speed, altitude and maneuverability

The world's first jet fighter was first developed by Germany in January 1938, which was also the first time that the Germans surpassed the Chinese Empire in the field of aviation, which was equipped with a jet engine developed by German scientist von Auchen. The 178 aircraft became the world's first jet aircraft, the aircraft carried out its first test flight in February of that year, but the effect was very bad, the aircraft took off less than 1 minute, the engine had various failures, because the jet engine speed was too fast, all of a sudden to 900 kilometers per hour, almost to the test pilot's life, and ordinary propeller aircraft were low at the beginning, until ten minutes later to reach a speed of more than 700 kilometers per hour

Because of the pilot's discomfort, the first test flight was recognized as a failure

At the same time, the Chinese Empire launched a series of jet aircraft research and development work in the early 35th year of Guanghua, and purchased the design drawings of the jet engine from Ou Hein, and on this basis, with the strength of the Chinese Empire's strong aviation science and technology research and development team and industrial manufacturing capacity, the first jet aircraft - J-11A fighter was completed in January of the 38th year of Guanghua (February of the Western calendar).

Although the test flight of the J-11A was a month later than the test flight of the German He-178, and the reputation of the first jet aircraft was taken away by the Germans, the J-11A jet aircraft of the Chinese Empire was the first jet fighter in human history to complete the test flight mission and be mass-produced, which is incomparable to the Germans

J-11A fighter is an all-metal semi-monocoque structure of light fighter jet streamlined, the fuselage has a triangular section, the nose is intensively equipped with cannons and camera guns, raindrop-shaped cockpit canopy can be opened to the right in the middle of the fuselage, the front windshield is 90 mm thick plexiglass, not only hard, has a certain bulletproof function, but also has a shading function, so that the pilot does not have to worry about the sudden encounter with the damn sunlight during the fight and lose combat ability

The seat back is covered with 25 mm steel plates, which have strong bulletproof ability, and 15 mm steel plates are also added on both sides to protect the safety of the pilot

The cabin is equipped with a variety of advanced electronic equipment, including the EZ-42 gyro sight and the CK-32 optical sight for cannon and rocket launch

The nearly triangular tail crosses the tail at the tail of the nacelles of the two axial turbojet engines, mounted directly below the swept lower wing, and the front three-point landing gear can be stowed into the nacelle

As a new power unit, the J-11A uses the Chen's DKIO-004 jet engine of Royal Airlines, with a static thrust of 850 kg at sea level, a fuel consumption of 1650 kg, a dead weight of 720 kg per hour, and a thrust-to-weight ratio (thrust/weight ratio) of 1.181, a repair life of 70 hours

Because the process of the jet engine is slightly rougher than that of the mature propeller engine, and the failure rate is relatively high, this jet engine is still one of the most successful models of early air jet engines in aviation history

Although the J-11A fighter has the shortcomings of unreliable engine work, poor maneuverability in air combat, sluggish acceleration and roll rate, and complex control, etc., the series of improved models of the J-11 show great power in the later confrontation with the absolute air superiority of the allies, as the world's first jet fighter that can fight, the emergence of the J-11 has greatly shocked the countries of the world, in addition to the ferocious firepower, it also has a strong speed of 625mph (Mai), and defended the absolute air supremacy of the Chinese Imperial Air Force

The J-11 fighter is divided into several models, and the J-11A is a single-seat fighter, and the internal title of the Imperial Air Force is the Fire Eagle with a length of 10.6 meters (with a radar antenna), a wingspan of 12.5 meters, an empty weight of 4,000 kg, a maximum take-off weight of 8,045 kg, and a maximum speed of 625 miles (1,000 kilometers per hour) The practical ceiling is 12,500 meters, the maximum range is 1,450 kilometers, the maximum climb rate is 1,200 meters, the combat radius of each minute is 1,050 kilometers, the main armament is 2 30 mm MK38 cannons (100 rounds each), and the secondary armament is two 30 mm MK35 cannons or two 12.7 mm M2 heavy machine guns

The J-11B fighter is a two-seat night fighter, codenamed Owl, which is similar to the J-11A as a whole, but in order to increase the weight of the aircraft in order to increase the pilot's cockpit, which affects its maximum range, and the J-11B two-seat fighter has also developed into the first jet trainer of the Chinese Empire, that is, the J-11K type, codenamed the Mountain Eagle trainer

Overall, the J-11 series of air superiority fighters abandoned the airborne rocket launcher because the Imperial Chinese Air Force replaced its mission with another A-5 strike fighter to support ground forces

The A-5 strike fighter, codenamed Fire Meteor, is a strike aircraft developed on the basis of the J-11A and specially used for ground-to-sea attacks

The attack aircraft is a new type of aircraft defined by the Imperial Air Force Committee of China after classifying combat aircraft in the 37th year of Guanghua, and it is also a kind of combat aircraft, mainly used to directly support ground forces from low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude assault enemy tactics or targets in the depth of shallow and close campaigns, and the Imperial Army is called a close-range air support aircraft

The objectives defined by the Imperial Air Force Council as a strike aircraft are to have good low-altitude maneuverability, stability, and a good downward horizon to facilitate the search for small concealed targets on the ground; In addition to cannons and bombs, powerful ground attack weapons include radio-guided bombs, anti-tank bombs, ground-penetrating bombs, and air-to-ground rockets. The vital parts of the aircraft are protected by armor to improve the survivability of the aircraft under ground artillery fire; It has excellent take-off and landing performance, and can take off and land at airstrips close to the front line to expand the range of aircraft support operations

The power plant of the A-5 (Fire Meteor) attack aircraft is a CK52-P-408A turbojet engine produced by Beiyang Science and Technology Power Company, with a maximum thrust of 4,900 kg

The A-5 attack aircraft has a length of 13.07 meters, a wingspan of 8.36 meters, and a height of 4.62 meters. The rear fuselage and the main wing, the main wing has 3 spars, which are continuous from the wing tips at one end to the wing tips at the other end, and finally the pair of spars is straight, removing the common load concentration point on the swept wing of the J-11 series fighters, the delta wing design of A-5 makes it do not need to be folded, it can be used on the aircraft carrier of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and it does not occupy too much space, its leading edge has a full span of the front slat, the wing strip deflector, the A-5 fuselage adopts a semi-rigid structure, divided into two parts, the front and rear fuselage, and the rear fuselage is detachable to facilitate the maintenance of the engine, and there are speed plates on both sides

The maximum take-off weight of the aircraft is 11110 kg, the maximum level flight speed (altitude 10700 meters, external 1814 kg), 1071 kilometers per hour, the maximum range (with auxiliary fuel tanks) is 2900 kilometers, the combat radius is 470 kilometers, and the maximum combat radius can reach 600 kilometers when performing attack missions, and the practical ceiling is 12500 meters, and the fuel load in the aircraft is 3028 liters

Two 20 mm MK-12 guns are mounted on the lower side of the wing roots, each with 200 rounds of artillery shells, a total of 400 rounds, there are 5 external hardpoints on the aircraft, and there is a weapon pylon under the fuselage and under the wings, which can be mounted with aerial bombs, ground-penetrating bombs, anti-tank bombs, air-to-ground rockets and air-to-air rockets, with a maximum bomb load of 4150 kg

A-5 has a raised hump in the middle of the fuselage, in order to place the new avionics instruments, because the basic design of the A-5 focuses on reducing weight and complexity, so the early models can only be equipped with simple task avionics, and its shortcomings are gradually exposed in the future, so the later improved models have been equipped with various new electronic equipment, A-5C is equipped with ground search radar and low-altitude bombing fire control system, becoming the first model in the A-5 with all-weather combat capability

A series of upgraded versions of the J-11 series of fighters were used in the F-6 Wildcat carrier-based fighters and the F-8 Osprey torpedo bombers of the Naval Aviation

The comprehensive combat performance of the F-6 Wildcat carrier-based fighter is stronger than that of the J-11A, because its size is much smaller than that of the J-11, but the integrated fighter is not inferior to the J-11

The Wildcat ship battle length is 10.2 meters (with radar antennas, folding wings), empty weight 3800 kg, maximum take-off weight 7600 kg, maximum speed 600 miles, practical ceiling 10500 meters, maximum range 1350 kilometers, maximum climb rate of 1200 meters, auxiliary fuel tanks mounted per minute, combat radius of 950 kilometers, main armament is 2 30 mm MK38 cannons (100 rounds each), secondary armament is external 2 30 mm MK35 cannons or 2 12.7 mm M2 heavy machine guns

The F-8 Osprey carrier-based bomber, taking into account the low-altitude penetration force, concentrates the characteristics of the Condor fighter and the Fire Meteor attack aircraft, adopts a single-seat bomber mode, with a maximum speed of 470 miles (755 kilometers per hour), and the main armament is 2 30 mm MK35 cannons (100 rounds / door) and 2 30 mm MK33 cannons (80 rounds / Gate) secondary weapons are four 250 kg aerial bombs (during bombing) or one 21-inch red-headed torpedo (when torpedoed) or 24 R4M rockets (when intercepted)

Similarly, the naval aviation of the Chinese Empire has developed into a force that can fight at night, so the F-8B carrier-based bomber is a two-seat night combat carrier-based bomber, with the main armament being 2 30mm MK36 cannons (100 rounds / door) and 2 30mm MK33 cannons (80 rounds / piece) The secondary armament is two 30 mm MK37 cannons behind the cockpit, and an SG500 armor-piercing cannon (12 high-intensity armor-piercing shells) or a 50 mm MK38 cannon or 48 R4M rockets under the nose

Of course, the A-5 fighter aircraft can also be deployed on the naval aircraft carrier, and the elevators of all aircraft carriers of the Chinese Imperial Navy since the Emeishan-class aircraft carrier can be used to move the A-5 attack aircraft, but the A-5 attack aircraft does not have a torpedo hardpoint, so it cannot carry out torpedo bombing missions, but it can be deployed as the Chinese Imperial Navy in the coastal area to prevent the enemy from seizing the beach and landing operations, which is still very effective

Due to the great importance attached by the Air Force Commission of the Chinese Empire to jet aero engines, in addition to the jet replacement of fighters, jet improvements to bombers were soon proposed

However, at this time, the H6 Flying Fortress series of strategic bombers of the Chinese Empire was far ahead of the strategic air forces of all countries in the world, and the Imperial Air Force Committee did not consider it necessary to eliminate them, because the cost of replacing strategic bombers was very high, and Congress would not approve it

Therefore, for strategic bombers, the Chinese Imperial Air Force Committee ordered Songhu Heavy Industry to upgrade the existing H-6 bombers

Songhu Heavy Industry also felt the pressure on the company with the advent of the jet age, so it quickly came up with an improvement and upgrade plan for the H-6

The upgraded H-6 was given the H-7 (H-7), the code name is still the Flying Fortress, the H-7 is 23 meters long, 6 meters high, 32 meters wingspan, 29 tons, the payload is increased to 10 tons, the upgraded engines are changed to 4 1500 horsepower Adel BTMX-1500 twelve-cylinder liquid-cooled turbine engines, when fully loaded with fuel, the upgraded H-7 bomber has a range of up to 6500 km, a cruising speed of 400 km / h, a maximum speed of 640 km / h, and a practical ceiling of 11667 meters

The standard members of the H-7 have not changed, it is still 22 people, the armament has been upgraded, the original 12 12.7 mm M2 heavy machine guns have been cut in half, and five 30 mm machine guns have been replaced, and the firepower has been greatly improved

Similarly, with the advancement of electronic technology and manufacturing capabilities in the Chinese Empire, the massive Flying Fortress had ample space to install radar systems

Songhu Heavy Industry has installed an advanced radar detection system on the H-7 than the H-6, and the search distance has been increased by 30 kilometers to 180 kilometers, and the accuracy has been improved, and the maximum aircraft target error in the area can be detected to 100 meters, which can provide more than ten minutes of early warning time for the H-7 bomber

At the same time, the biggest electronic advantage of the H-7 strategic bomber is the installation of the first radar identification system in human history - RD-43, which allows the crew to quickly judge nearby friendly and enemy forces, so as to make the necessary tactical arrangements

The RD-43 radar friend or foe identification system is an electronic device used to identify the attributes of the target found by the radar, which is composed of an interrogator mounted on the radar and a transponder installed on various aircraft and ships

With the radar identification system of friend or foe, the Chinese Emperor can determine in time that the enemy and the enemy will not be misjudged during the Sino-US Atlantic naval war, and our warships shot down our fighters, of course, the radar identification system of the Chinese Empire is not yet perfect, and needs to be improved, but for the current military development of the world, the Chinese Empire has taken a very important step

In addition, the biggest improvement of the H-7 strategic bomber is that the bombing bay has been re-arranged, so that it can be installed specifically for carrying atomic bombs, because although the previous H-6 bombers can be used to carry atomic bombs in terms of load capacity, but the atomic bombs need special protection and treatment during transportation and bombing, and the layout of the bombing chamber of the H-6 is not suitable for dropping atomic bombs

The modified and upgraded H-7 strategic bomber can carry two atomic bombs to achieve strategic bombing in the true sense of the word, and has also become the most important vehicle for embodying the nuclear deterrence capability of the Chinese Empire

Since the advent of the H-6 to H-7, the Chinese Imperial Air Force has been dominating the hegemony of long-range bombing at an altitude of 10,000 meters

For the H-5 tactical bomber, the speed of the original H-5 tactical bomber has been very backward, for the increasingly powerful air defense capabilities of European and American countries, the penetration capability of the H-5 tactical bomber has been questioned by the Imperial Air Force Committee, so the H-5 tactical bomber was dragged into the ranks of retired exports, and it was replaced by the B-2 jet tactical bomber (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation)
