"Not necessarily." Wang Maoru said with a smile, "With the earthquake and plague in Japan forcing the country to decline rapidly, and the rise of China's national fortunes, the situation is bound to be reversed. ”

"Coast Guard." Jiang Fangzhen reminded.

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "Yes, the coast guard, yes, we are a great China, but we don't even have a navy department, only a Ministry of Defense and a coast guard headquarters, don't you make me feel ashamed." Our Chinese ships have not been replaced for several years, not only because of money, but also because we have always been afraid of the Japanese navy. Therefore, we need all the more to devote ourselves to the development of army aviation, no, the future Air Force. ”

At this time, the Fourth Arsenal of the National Defense Forces in Saltu, Heilongjiang Province, came with good news that a new transport aircraft independently designed by the Saltu Air Force School was designed and assembled on a trial basis at the Fourth Arsenal. This new transport aircraft is different from the design concept of the Prisoner Ox 2 transport aircraft, using four-engine all-aluminum alloy and special steel zuò, completely abandoning part of the wooden or bamboo structure of the previous aircraft, and using the aluminum alloy material produced by the Second Arsenal in Shenyang as the keel of the aircraft.

Compared with the aircraft keel imported from the UK, the aircraft keel of the Shenyang No. 2 Arsenal has higher hardness, lighter weight, stronger corrosion resistance, and the price is one-tenth of the keel purchased from the UK.

Wang Maoru was overjoyed, others did not know the role of this heavy transport aircraft, but he knew, even if this heavy transport aircraft was only light or medium-sized after a hundred years. But for this era, it is enough. He temporarily handed over the anti-epidemic work to Tang Shaoyi, and temporarily handed over the work of the Ministry of National Defense to Sa Zhenbing. Then he immediately took a plane to Saltu with Lu Rongting and Jiang Fangzhen. Due to the measures of secrecy work, the test flight and production assembly of this heart transport aircraft were secretly carried out at the Saltu airbase.

After a day's flight, the plane made three stops from Beijing's Nanyuan Airport to Saltu Air Base.

The supervisor of the Saltu Air Base was none other than Ouyang Peng, an aircraft design expert, and Ouyang Peng immediately said after seeing Wang Maoru: "Generalissimo, this heavy transport plane has not wasted your investment. ”

Wang Maoru smiled: "First of all, tell me how much you wasted on me?" ”

Ouyang Peng smiled: "I said don't feel distressed. ”

"Tell me. I look at the price and then decide whether to feel distressed or not. Wang Maoru said.

Ouyang Peng stretched out two fingers and said, "That's all." ”

Wang Maoru sighed and said, "Two hundred thousand silver dollars, you are really enough." ”

Ouyang Peng's eyes widened and said, "Generalissimo." Which told you it was 200,000. ”

Wang Maoru said: "It turned out that there were only 20,000, small meaning, small meaning." ”

Ouyang Peng glared and said, "Which one told you that it was 20,000, I said 2 million." ”

Wang Maoru almost fell to the ground one by one. Exclaimed, "What is it?" Million? ”

Ouyang Peng nodded and said as a matter of course: "Engage in scientific research." How can you not be engaged? If you want to drink a glass of milk for a penny, you have to spend ten yuan to buy a cow, right? ”

Wang Maoru said distressedly: "Yes, this cow is too valuable." ”

Looking at Wang Maoru's painful appearance, Jiang Fangzhen and Lu Rongting couldn't help laughing, and several people took some staff officers of the Adjutant Ministry of Defense to the aircraft factory, which has dozens of factories, but the car did not stop at all when it passed through these factories, but drove more and more underground. Ouyang Peng explained in the car: "Considering security and confidentiality. We built the secret room underground, where the latest aircraft, as well as all the designers, were in the underground room. It includes more than 70 aircraft designers and talents from all over the world. Therefore, our Saltu Air Force is arguably the most talented Air Force in the world, and it is also the only one in the world. ”

Wang Maoru nodded and said with a smile: "The Air Force is really yàn room, this name is very domineering. ”

Ouyang Peng said: "Generalissimo, since you are so domineering, how about you change the Army Aviation Department to the Air Force Department after you go back?" ”

Lu Rongting, the commander-in-chief of the Army Airlines, also took the opportunity to say: "Yes, Generalissimo, what do you think?" ”

Wang Maoru said: "You Lu Hang's people sing and harmonize, are you talking about cross talk?" Several people laughed, and Wang Maoru said: "I think about it, if your heavy transport aircraft can be used, then the combat mode of the Army Aviation is bound to undergo a huge change, and the aircraft has become a branch of the army that can fight independently, and the Air Force Department can be established." ”

"The airborne brigade has proven that the Air Force has the ability to fight independently." Lu Rongting said.

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "The airborne brigade is not unexpected, but I want an airborne division, not just an airborne brigade." ”

Lu Rongting immediately smiled and said: "If the Air Force has independent combat capability in the future, I will not waste so much thought in vain, and I will have no regrets in this life." ”

The car went deeper and deeper, and after entering ten meters underground, it entered a place where it suddenly opened up, and at the same time saw the huge state-of-the-art transport plane parked in it.

The four propellers of this latest heavy transport aircraft surprised Wang Maoru, and his huge body also shocked Lu Rongting and Jiang Fangzhen. Ouyang Peng introduced on the side: "This aircraft has a wingspan of 32.2 meters, a length of 26.6 meters, a height of 5.3 meters, and uses a four-engine imitation of the British Rolls-Royce domestic 550 horsepower engine. Note that the drawings of this engine are still lying in the design room of Rolls Royce, and the designer has been recruited by us with a high salary to further study in our Air Force room. ”

"How did they come to China?" Jiang Fangzhen asked.

Ouyang Peng said with a smile: "Since Europe does not need such a high-horsepower engine for the time being, so the designer will not be adopted by Rolls Royce after the design, our army aviation procurement staff in Europe immediately sent me a telegram after learning about this situation, and I asked them to bring me this kind of heavy-duty engine talent no matter what the conditions." ”

Wang Maoru praised: "You did the right thing, two million flowers are worth it, if it is not enough, I will allocate two million to you." ”

Ouyang Peng said with a smile: "This is the reason why I let you visit today, if you don't invest money, the talents will run away, and the two million in the early stage will also be lost." ”

Wang Maoru pointed at Ouyang Peng's nose and said angrily: "It turns out that we were all deceived by this bespectacled person, and the scholar is really not a good person." ”

"Hahaha......" Everyone was in a good mood and laughed.

Ouyang Peng continued: "This aircraft weighs 2.5 times that of the Prisoner Niu 2 transport aircraft, reaching 7.7 tons, with a maximum load of 12 tons, and according to our design concept, the range can reach 6,000 kilometers when unloaded, that is, when the aircraft is empty, it can fly from Saltu to any corner of China and fly back." If calculated by the maximum load, the range can theoretically reach 4500 km. ”

Wang Maoru suddenly asked Yuan Lingshan, a young staff officer beside him: "From China to Tokyo, Japan, what is the straight-line distance in the air?" ”

Yuan Lingshan, a personal staff officer, said: "The straight-line distance from Shenyang Province to Tokyo in the latitude and longitude of the earth is 1,660 kilometers, the straight-line distance from Beijing to Tokyo is 2,478 kilometers, the straight-line distance from Changchun to Tokyo is 1,526 kilometers, and the straight-line distance from Vladivostok to Tokyo is 1,332 kilometers. ”

Wang Maoru smiled strangely from Jiang Fangzhen, Jiang Fangzhen understood what he meant, two days ago he didn't know how to deal with Japan's offensive strategy, but now he suddenly has a way.

On the side, Lu Rongting couldn't help but say: "Top your lungs!" It's time to fry Little Japan! ”

Wang Maoru laughed and said: "If this plane succeeds, produce 1,000 planes, and each plane is equipped with 12 tons of incendiary bombs, and if Little Japan blows up with us again, it will burn down the four islands of Japan and directly make them monks." ”

"Hahahaha......"

In fact, this is not a sudden solution, Wang Maoru established an air base in Saltu early, the fourth arsenal (air force arsenal), and the Saltu Air Force University, in order to realize his air force dream. (To be continued......)
