The news about the plane was soon transmitted to various countries with rough information. And this news immediately received the attention of many countries, especially when they heard that this plane could actually fly into the sky, although the specific parameters were not very clear, but the plane could write in the sky with exhaust gas, and then even throw some flowers and some tin foil, which was valued by some people, especially foreign armies. This can throw these things from the sky, so that they also began to have a lot of ideas, so that especially the military experts of various countries have also begun to carefully analyze whether this plane can be useful.

"Your Majesty, I think that this aircraft can be used to attack enemy artillery positions. Judging by the fact that they were able to store flowers, tin foil, and paint powder, it was not a problem to put some grenades on them. Judging by the situation of the Chinese, the Chinese have begun to return grenades to the battlefield. Therefore, many troops have begun to re-equip grenades, and they are used in conjunction with grenadiers. And I think it's good to have this kind of grenade that the person in charge of operating that kind of aircraft carry it and drop it from the air. A German officer said.

However, there were also disdainful retorts immediately: "I don't see it that way, what can this plane do?" This plane can only stay in the sky for less than 20 minutes. Less than 20 minutes, what's the use? If a large-scale artillery bombardment is carried out, I am afraid that it is not even possible to calibrate the fire. This aircraft is only capable of firing some small-scale artillery battles, as well as conducting some tactical reconnaissance. You say throwing grenades from the sky, what's the use of this? The lethality of a grenade explosion is so low, it is useless to throw it from the air! ”

"Don't forget, what is going on with that rocket angel of the Chinese. That rocket angel alone intercepted the logistics supply of hundreds of thousands of Russian troops, so that hundreds of thousands of Russian troops had to abandon the attack on China because of the abandonment of the supply line. It can be said that the rocket angel almost decided the outcome of that war. If it weren't for that rocket angel, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops poured into China, the war would not have ended so easily. So, do you still dare to say that air strikes are useless? ”

"Have you forgotten how nervous the Russians were when the Chinese Rocket Angels arrived in St. Petersburg at that time? At that time, they realized that they were so powerless against air strikes, so they couldn't fight back at all. Therefore, a blow from the air is almost powerful. That rocket angel came down with a rocket, and the Russian army suffered heavy losses! ”

However, some people still said: "That rocket angel is just a special case, I'm afraid that the organization behind the Chinese emperor will not be able to produce this kind of rocket angel in large quantities." To put it mildly, if the Chinese can have a large number of such rocket angels, we Western European countries, one counts as one, and all of them will perish. If the Chinese have a lot of rocket angels, not to mention a lot, even if there are only hundreds, it is impossible for all of you we are doing to still discuss here, we should discuss how to avoid the country being destroyed by China. So I think this kind of rocket angel, in fact, that organization can't make it in large quantities, and even the cost of making one is extremely huge, and this is just because they are unwilling to continue to make it. They're just here to deter us and tell me not to mess around. ”

"So, this plane, I don't think there's much practicality. Even if you put a dozen grenades on an airplane, what is the use? How many accurate heads are a dozen grenades, thrown from the air? I'm afraid, it's easy to waste. If ten grenades on the ground can kill one person, then throwing them in the air like this, maybe with such a low hit rate, that is, being able to kill the enemy is already God blessed. Therefore, in my opinion, this plane is a flashy thing, and there is no need to pay attention to it. ”

"You see, the Chinese are not using this plane for performances, in fact, it is not useful at all, and it does not have much military value!"

The reality has once again proved that the proposition of new weapons, new ideas, and new theories will bring about a lot of controversy. Some discerning people will be able to see the role of new weapons, but there are still many people who choose "conservatism" and are full of skepticism about new weapons and new combat concepts. Before Napoleon, countries were still full of doubts about the centralized use of artillery. However, when Napoleon, the emperor of artillery, first concentrated artillery and adopted a large artillery battery, so that the artillery could concentrate its fire on the enemy as much as possible, which played a higher role.

Later, before the invention of rear-loading guns, machine guns, and even tanks, many people questioned their practical effectiveness. There will definitely be no shortage of "conservative" people in this world, and there will always be many people in this world who will not cry without seeing the coffin. If these weapons or tactical ideas are not able to truly play their value on the battlefield and achieve an overwhelming advantage over the old tactics, no one will be able to really change their minds.

"Who said that this plane has no value? I think it's still valuable, especially in the face of local artillery. At present, the effective range of artillery is only a few kilometers, and since this plane can stay in the air for more than 20 minutes, we can completely allow them to fly from our positions to the enemy's artillery in a few minutes, and then drop a dozen grenades. In this way, we only need a few planes and a few grenades, then we can completely destroy a very large artillery formation of the enemy. And the enemy's artillery shells are enough to cause the entire artillery unit to be killed, so we can completely clean them up. Once the artillery is destroyed, the enemy's infantry is nothing more than an object that can be easily eliminated. Isn't our current tactic just relying on artillery and machine guns? Without artillery, our artillery can bombard and suppress the enemy's machine-gun fire, so that our troops can take the opportunity to charge and destroy the enemy! ”

"This is just your personal speculation, and we don't know if it will work. And we don't understand the tactical performance of this aircraft, as well as the specific situation parameters. How can we be sure that your plan will be successful? So I think this is just your own speculation, and it is not possible to achieve it at all. ”

"I ......"

The German Emperor Wilhelm II couldn't help but have a headache when he saw this situation. This is simply a quarrel, these German staff officers are actually still very high, but they are currently arguing a lot about this plane, which makes Wilhelm II even have a big head. In fact, Wilhelm II didn't understand the matter of this plane, and even this situation was obviously not understood. Although Wilhelm II once served in the army, it is almost a German tradition for male royal families to serve in the army, and every German royal family must have a military career in their lifetime, it is just a matter of length.

But when Wilhelm II joined the army, the German mode of war at that time was actually the tactical era of queuing up to shoot. At present, Wilhelm II has been out of the latest tactics for a long time, and has turned from a soldier to a politician, so he is naturally not familiar with these military matters.

But now these two parties are both public and reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, as if everyone is reasonable. In fact, Wilhelm II didn't know much about this thing, but it was not suitable for him to express his opinion directly. As an emperor, it is not easy to suppress one of the parties, and it is still necessary to maintain balance.

"In this way, I think this aircraft still has some research value. It's better to allocate some financial resources and then go to research this aircraft. I think there is still potential for continued research, isn't the rocket angel of the Chinese also capable of striking the enemy in the air? Since this is an aircraft, we can all continue to work on it. I think that in the future, the payload of the aircraft will be larger and larger, and the time spent in the air will also increase, so we will say that it is not possible! Therefore, I think it is possible to continue research, and it is also possible to set up a research group! Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

Although Wilhelm II did not understand the specific value of this aircraft, he did not mind spending money on research. Anyone can see that this aircraft has very great potential for development, as long as the brain is not a fool. However, the specific development potential depends on the specific research. If you don't have a specific study, it's hard to find out. Wilhelm II was born in an industrial country, and he knew very well that Germany's industrial strength was the greatest guarantee of the army. So he wouldn't mind studying industrial products, and if Germany gave up the idea of researching industry, it would mean that the German Army would inevitably decline.

Industry determines the strength of the army, which is recognized by all countries in the world. At that time, the industrial strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was poor, and naturally it was no match for the industrialized Western countries. Although they have various institutional reasons, weapons and equipment are also an important reason. The combat effectiveness of weapons and equipment is getting higher and higher, and human flesh and blood are worthless in the face of these weapons. Therefore, Wilhelm II also intends to invest in aircraft research. However, the specific amount of investment depends on the specific situation.

However, at the same time, the British are also talking about the plane, which makes the British feel as if they are a little behind. In particular, they also have different ideas about the use of this aircraft. After all, this plane may change the pattern of warfare, and no one dares to take it lightly. (To be continued.) )
