Chapter 474 Foreign Trade Fighters

As the only local tyrant in the world now, the British have been fighting half-heartedly in this war, because there are too many people who are worried about fighting local tyrants, and there are not only enemies and allies but also neither enemies nor allies, they have to guard against it, so the British government's expression in the war has always been afraid to scale, and to put it simply, it is obviously more inclined to preserve strength.

There was no real action against the German Navy at sea, except to lock the huge Royal Navy battlefleet in the military port of the home to show its majesty, and to scatter a large number of cruisers and destroyers against the increasingly rampant German submarines, which was at present the only job of the world's largest fleet, which had not launched any offensive in the Mediterranean since the end of the last Battle of Otranto, and sat back and watched one Ottoman merchant ship after another sail into the Adriatic Sea, Then all kinds of supplies, from steel to zha medicine, were sent to Trieste.

And on land, the British Army's cousin Xiàn is also absent-minded, and now the total strength of the British Expeditionary Force assembled in northwestern France has reached 1.2 million, but in addition to the last unsuccessful counteroffensive, the British Army has never had any good examples in the war for more than a year, which is also an important reason why the Russians are currently dissatisfied with Britain, almost all the major battles in the past year have been on the Eastern Front, and the Russian army has now suffered more than two million casualties and prisoners, but the Western Front has always been thunderous and rainy, Without a decent offensive, it was indeed difficult not to anger Nikolai.

"Intrigues, what's wrong with this world? Isn't there a little simplicity and sincerity between people? Emperor Yang said disdainfully, and then immediately asked the chief attendant: "Haven't our foreign trade fighters been completed yet?" ”

"It should be soon, the minister just urged it a few days ago, and the Kunpeng company said that there will be a month at most, and you also know that they have a lot of tasks now, and the personnel can be said to be stretched." Yuan Shikai said.

"Let them hurry, that's not a good thing to make yourself. It's almost as if it's all about it, anyway, what the Germans want is nothing more than a shooting coordinator, and if they drag it out, if they solve the problem themselves, how will we make their money. Emperor Yang said dissatisfied.

This may not be for nothing, since the coagulation qiyou bomb showed its might on the Eastern Front, the Germans have been eagerly looking forward to being able to replicate this success on the Western Front, but there are new French fighters on the Western Front, and the German airships used to be purely looking for pumps, and now the French have firmly grasped the air supremacy on the Western Front, and even began to use their and British-built airships to run over the heads of the Germans and throw ZA bombs. Although the damage inflicted on the Germans was minimal, the blow to morale was very heavy, and even ordinary German soldiers knew that their planes could only be beaten by the French when they went into the sky, which was extremely frustrating.

Now the German aircraft manufacturers are desperately studying how to solve the problem of propeller shooting, and even the machine gun on the wing has come up with this method, although the effect is still not ideal, but with their research spirit can not be even, suddenly found that adding a cam to let the machine gun shoot when the propeller turns to neutral is also very good, in the end this is not high-tech. It's just a little invention that a young man in his twenties came up with in his head.

"陛xià, the minister has a building yì." Yuan Shikai said cautiously.

"Say." Yang Feng looked at him suspiciously.

"We won't use this fighter, will we?" Yuan Shikai said.

"Of course, do you think this kind of aircraft is more qualified than the Eagle fighter?" Yang Feng said inexplicably.

"I think that in this case, we don't need to build it. At present, the production capacity of Kunpeng Company is very tight, and the production tasks of Lighthawk fighters, Swordfish torpedo planes, and Thunder bombers have already kept them busy. It would be too wasteful to reproduce such an airplane that we don't need at all, and it can't be used elsewhere, just to make money. In fact, we don't need to actually produce it. Yuan Shikai said with a smile.

Yang Feng's eyes lit up immediately, and he suddenly realized that he had indeed made a small mistake in this matter, it was indeed not cost-effective to waste the precious production capacity of Kunpeng Company for a business of 20 million, you must know that this company currently has thousands of aircraft production tasks in its hands, especially the Thunder bomber, the first batch of orders from the Army Air Force is 2,000 aircraft, and it is inexplicable to run to take on this kind of small work at this time.

And like the big head brother said, this money can be earned back in some other easier ways, and even more can be earned.

"Yes, you have thought about this issue very comprehensively, and this matter will be arranged by you." Yang Feng patted the eldest brother on the shoulder and said, with a completely relieved expression that you are doing things.

In this way, at the urging of Emperor Yang, the Kunpeng Company hurriedly completed the design of their foreign trade fighter and manufactured the first prototype in the shortest possible time.

"Your Excellency, this is a new type of fighter equipped for the German army in the Caribbean, with three wings, nine cylinders of 120 horsepower engines, the fastest speed can reach 190 kilometers, it has more maneuverability than any fighter at present, the maximum range can reach 400 kilometers, it is equipped with two air-cooled heavy machine guns, because of the use of the latest firing coordinator, it can shoot directly in front of the propeller without worrying about damaging the propeller." At Nanyuan Airport, the manager of the Kunpeng Company pointed to a three-wing fighter that had been specially painted red according to the requirements of His Majesty the Emperor and said to Haijing.

Because Emperor Yang has clear requirements for appearance, the fighter produced now has almost no difference in appearance from the Red Baron's Fokker Dr.I, that is, the machine gun is different, and the aircraft is equipped with two 12.7 mm large-caliber machine guns, which also makes this Chinese version of the Fokker fighter have no advanced advantages in engine power and aviation materials, but this also makes the firepower of this fighter extremely ferocious compared to the fighter at this time.

You must know that at this time, in addition to the main structure of European aircraft using aluminum alloy made in China, the vast majority of materials are wood, canvas, plywood, in the face of 12.7 mm bullets, these things are no different from paper paste, compared with this kind of machine gun, now those light machine guns used in European aircraft modified version of the aviation machine gun are completely like children's toys, whether the range, rate of fire or power are not the same level at all.

Looking at Haijing's surprised eyes, Yuan Shikai motioned to give him a show, a pilot immediately climbed onto the plane, and then started the propeller and rushed into the sky, I have to say that the maneuverability of this kind of aircraft is indeed outstanding, in the hands of this old qualified test pilot of Kunpeng Company, like a huge red dragonfly flying in the sky, as if flying one after another difficult maneuvers, I can see a round of applause below.

Nanyuan Airport is not a hidden place, this is the most important aviation base in Beijing, not only the emperor's airship fleet is here, Panda Airlines' civil aviation airships, postal planes are all in this airport, this kind of high-profile flight show, immediately attracted a large number of onlookers, and even many foreigners in the city rushed to watch after hearing the news, including diplomats and spy businessmen from Britain, France and Russia, looking at the crowd gathering more and more around, Hai Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He knew that Yang Feng could not only do business with Germany, this profiteer arranged the test flight performance at Nanyuan Airport to advertise his fighter jet, it is conceivable that once Germany bought this thing from China, it is absolutely impossible for Britain, France and Russia not to buy it, with the paper number of this fighter jet, it is completely the overlord of the sky, and from the current performance, these numbers do not have any water, so even if they pay a high price, Britain, France and Russia must also get this kind of aircraft, and Yang Feng can take the opportunity to make a lot of money.

But in this way, this business is probably going to be yellow, after so many years as a minister to China, Hai Jing is very familiar with the style of Yang Feng and Yuan Shikai, the wolf bèi traitorous monarchs, to say that they are not prepared to pit people this time It is simply a fantasy, but even if they pit people in the end, they will definitely give Germany enough compensation, this point Hai Jing still knows very well, Germany is completely in line with China's interests to kill all sides in Europe.

"Your Excellency, you see, the next thing is going to be a shooting show." Yuan Shikai said with a smile on the side, and several ground crews on the ground were releasing balloons as targets.

Hai Jing smiled stiffly, do you still need to watch this? You've all used it for advertising, so naturally you won't let the show be ruined.

He knew it, so he didn't show any surprise at how easily it smashed one balloon after another with the nose shot of the next plane, but the diplomats and spies of the Entente countries who watched the excitement were different, they knew very well what this meant, especially when they looked at Haijing beside Yuan Shikai, their faces were even more ugly.

Now the sky on the Western Front is all about the protection of the French fighter jets that shoot through the propellers, once the Germans buy this new fighter from China, then the sky on the Western Front belongs to the Germans, and then the German army will definitely copy the tactics on the Eastern Front, and burn it all the time with that terrifying new burning dan, until all the defense lines of the British and French forces are burned to ashes, as soon as they think of this terrible consequence, these guys rush back in a cold sweat, they must find a way to stop this deal, Whatever the cost, it must be stopped, otherwise the millions of allied troops on the Western Front will be struggling like the Russians in hellfire.

Looking at the cars that left in a hurry, the smile on Attendant Yuan's face was very bright. (To be continued......)
