Chapter 290: AWACS

After Bogomolov's telegram was sent to Moscow, Joseph was so happy that he almost drew it, which was simply a pie-in-the-sky thing, and he was worried about the inconvenience of reaching out to China! Now Yang Feng wants to find him to repair the road together, so he doesn't hurry up and agree.

Of course, on the surface, I had to hesitate for a while, pretending to be reserved, just like an art school girl who went to open a fang with a big amount of money, after a week of meetings and discussions, I finally agreed to Yang Feng's Eurasian land bridge plan, including his request that the Soviet Union build it to China, and then use the completed railway as a stake in China Lanxin Railway Co., Ltd.

This is a trivial matter for the Soviet Union, the steel plant has it, there is no shortage of railway workers, the rest is nothing more than time, since all parties have negotiated, then the rest is the specific operation, the Soviet Union does not care, Yang Feng here in Beiping immediately established the Lanxin Railway Company, and then began to formally raise shares.

Because the total cost of the project is difficult to determine, so the specific number of shares raised Yang Feng did not say, anyway, he himself invested 50 million US dollars, the rest of who likes to invest as much as they want, as for the same 50 million shares raised in the United States, in fact, as soon as this plan is proposed, the Americans are also very interested, they also need a stable trade route to the Soviet Union, it is indeed difficult to rest assured that the Japanese are on the turf, so the Lanxin Railway officially began to operate.

Then Yang Feng took the time to go back again, first ordered a set of track-laying machines in China, of course, there is no need for any digital things, but this thing cannot be in stock, it must be customized, fortunately, it will not take long, there are some necessary preparations before the start of construction, it is estimated that it will take at least three months or even half a year before it can be used.

Then there is the full set of route maps of the Lanxin Railway, including some problems encountered during construction, which are all junk goods in the archives, and spend some money in the name of doing research. Find a few idlers to scan a copy, these things are not in a hurry, the main thing is the route map, this is very easy to get.

After getting his hands on it, Yang Feng came back with a batch of urgently ordered domestic portable air defense missiles, which are not good things, they are the most common avant-garde. He is not very interested in high-tech now, so he is more interested in those things that have the possibility of production in the era of World War II, and this kind of passive homing infrared missile is nothing more than a seeker problem.

As for the question of whether the temperature of the piston engine in World War II is good or not, it is really hard to say, anyway, Yang Feng feels that the temperature of the large number of cylinders in front of the air-cooled machine will not be too low, and it is estimated that it is not very difficult to lock it if it can hit the missile of the helicopter.

I returned to Beiping and handed over the railway route map to China Railway Construction Company, and also handed over some of the information on the use of the track-laying machine to them. Familiarize yourself with the things you saved first, and then get them and your eyes are black.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield has not changed much, the bald guy is still planning his second counterattack in eastern Zhejiang, he is now not bothering Yang Feng, the Sichuan Army and the 25th Group Army on the battlefield have been in the limelight enough, if his hometown still has to ask Yang Feng's people to help him get it back, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Chairman Jiang to wipe off this face.

The expeditionary force was still playing a tug-of-war with the Japanese army, destroying two Japanese squadrons in the past two months, and losing one platoon on its own. It was claimed that the destruction of two brigades of the Japanese army was a battle of this scale. Then it would not be nice for Tian Junliu to say that he would destroy one platoon of the expeditionary force, so he simply announced the elimination of two divisions of the expeditionary force, and if the expeditionary force and the Burmese front army were fought at this rate for one year, they should be doomed together.

On the battlefield of India, the Japanese finally stopped their triumphant advances, and they suffered their first defeat in Calcutta. Lost almost a brigade, as the saying goes, a rabbit bites when it's in a hurry! The British have been bullied by them to such an extent, and it is inevitable that they will have a small outburst.

Of course, the British were still having a hard time, because the Asans began to move, and the Japanese were under the slogan of liberating India. With the unanimous support of the Asan, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, there was a hunger strike, a protest, and there was actually a fire, it was really a strange nation, Yang Feng was very suspicious that if the British had not let them stand up back then, would they have been able to keep themselves?

There is nothing worth paying attention to in the European battlefield, because Britain and France are still playing a sit-down war, seeing that after Xiaoxi and Joseph divided Poland, they will clean up the mess peacefully, it is estimated that these guys will have to sit quietly for a year, and then wait for Xiaoxi to come to the door, in fact, this can't blame them, the British are now anxious, not forced to a corner, they really don't want to fight with Xiaoxi.

As for the French, these guys, who lost their souls without women and foreigners, are now bent on hiding behind the Maginot Line, fantasizing that the Germans will crash their heads and bleed?

The world situation is very good, which can't help but make Yang Feng's dark little heart start to stir again, so after finalizing all the formalities of railway cooperation with Joseph, Yang announced that he will visit Germany again to mediate the war between Germany and Britain and France.

"It's painful to see a war between friends, and even though I'm just an ordinary businessman, I can't continue to sit back and watch this tragedy worsen." Facing the reporter of tomorrow's daily newspaper, Boss Yang said affectionately.

How can he go to mediate, this product is purely to add fuel to the fire, because at this time, the professors of the Peking Academy of Sciences have already made a long-awaited thing for him, a set of high-power airborne radar, this work has been carried out since he planned to build an early warning aircraft, of course, this set of radar is completely different from those modern early warning aircraft with a large plate on their backs, and the technical requirements of that thing are too high, and it is not at all what he can copy out now.

This is actually a set of big noses, but even how to install a big nose on an airplane is a big project, and if his Hercules is equipped with this set of radars, plus the crew, high-power communication equipment, and even some radar jamming devices, then the take-off weight is still too high, in Zhu Jiaren's words, it would be good to be able to fly.

What's more, after adding radar, his aircraft also needs to add a part of the counterweight, which further aggravates this problem, so it is already necessary for Hercules to change the turboprop. But in this case, it is better to pull Xiaoxi to do it together, and by the way, sell him a turboprop, this thing is estimated that he can't make it for the time being, so that you can exchange a lot of things with him.

You have to know his big plans, although the slogans are shouted loudly. But the actual operation is very difficult, Pingjin industry after his seedlings to help although it can also be said that the progress is rapid, but it lacks a lot of basic technology, for example, he can build tanks and cannons here, but there is no Zahyao factory, this is even inferior to Yan Laoxi, he can build the world's best aircraft, but there is no electrolytic aluminum factory, he can make the world's best armor steel. But there is not a single manganese, molybdenum, chromium plant, which needs to be perfected, and the best collaborators are undoubtedly the Germans.

He doesn't look down on Soviet technology, American companies are now wary of him, and he doesn't have the means to force these guys to comply, but the Germans are different. They need to provide them with advanced military technology themselves, so these parties will not refuse. Let them help them build up the basic things, and then improve them with more advanced technology, so that Pingjin can truly become a high-tech capital.

This time he went to Germany, he only brought the design drawings of the early warning aircraft and the various performance indicators of the radar that had been completed, and then took ten portable anti-aircraft missiles as gifts, which he himself had not yet experimented with, and was going to take them to Germany for them to experiment.

The Hercules plane flew over Central Asia and then landed in Turkey for refueling. After a night's rest, he flew directly to Berlin the next day, and only Zhu Jiaren was on the same plane, after all, some technical things needed to be solved by him.

After arriving in Berlin, as Xiaoxi's honored guest, he was naturally indispensable to be received by him, and the two discussed Sino-German friendship very unproductively, and then Ge Fatzi began to be in charge of it himself. In the Luftwaffe Command, representatives of several major German aircraft manufacturing companies, including Yang Feng, Zhu Jiaren, Junker, Messerschmidt, Dornier, Focke Wolff, and Henkel, got together to study his AWACS aircraft.

In particular, the Heinkel company came directly from the boss Ernst. Heinkel.

"Mr. Henkel, with your arrival, it will be easy for me to explain, it's very simple, our Yanhuang laboratory has just developed a turbine that can drive propellers, and can reach a maximum power of three thousand horsepower, so I am ready to change this engine to an AWACS aircraft, so that the engine power is enough, but with this kind of engine, Hercules will become a completely new aircraft, plus other equipment of AWACS, the design of this aircraft will be a difficult project, If the Peiping Aircraft Manufacturing Company is solely responsible, it can be completed, but it will drag on for a long time, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to complete it in two to three years.

Your country has now declared war with Britain and France, and although I do not want war to happen, I think it is already unavoidable, and in order to ensure that the use of Marshal Goering is not delayed, I hope that a group of German engineers will go to Peking and complete the project with us.

As you know, under these circumstances, it is difficult for me to sell the aircraft directly to you, so I can only secretly provide you with radar and engines, and the aluminum part of the fuselage can be provided, but the manufacturing must be done by yourself, so this kind of cooperative research and development is also necessary. After speaking, Yang Feng looked at the representatives of several companies.

"So, who will be my collaborator?" The creature asked with a smile.

This made the representatives of several companies look at each other, and even Goering was a little surprised, he originally thought that Yang Feng would ask German engineers for help, and then directly make it for Germany in Beiping, but now listening to this guy's meaning, he didn't want to bring too much trouble to himself in this business.

This is understandable, because if this kind of AWACS aircraft is directly provided to Germany, then it will inevitably offend Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, and as a profiteer, he will definitely not do such a stupid thing.

If it is jointly developed by the two sides, although it will also make the other three countries dissatisfied, but there is no way to blame Yang Feng for this, after all, the contract for early warning aircraft between the two sides was signed before the war, and it is very reasonable for Yang Feng to fulfill the original contract.

"Then we need to determine the manufacturer of AWACS now." Ge Fat looked at the company representatives with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, why don't I appoint it? This also saves you the hassle. Yang Feng said.

The representatives of those companies agreed with a smile, there will not be too many orders for AWACS, but the technical force invested is huge, and now they are not short of work to do, so they are not determined to win.

Yang Feng's choice is no one else, Ernst. Heinkel was there, and if he chose another company, it would be too bad to give face to the jet pioneer.

"Mr. Henkel, are you interested in cooperating?" Yang Feng looked at Ernst. Henkel said.

"Absolutely." Henkel said with a smile that in recent years he can say that everything is unfavorable, He112 defeat to Messerschmidt is undoubtedly a heavy blow to him, now the company mainly relies on bombers to maintain production, although the early warning aircraft is not too important for him, but Yang Feng said that the turbine engine and the manufacturing experience of large aircraft in Beiping is what he wants the most, you must know that whether it is the liberator or Hercules, it can be said that it represents the pinnacle of their respective fields.

Now that the collaborators have been determined, there is no need for others to stay here, and after sending off the representatives of the major companies, Zhu Jiaren introduced the various data of the engine and radar to Goering and Henkel, as well as the modification plan designed by Beiping alone, and then introduced the problems faced, as for the rest is his work with Henkel.

Yang Feng sat down alone with Ge Fatzi.

"Your Excellency Marshal, I have also brought you and Your Excellency the Führer a small gift, are you interested in experimenting with it." Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Mr. Yang, what kind of gift?" Ge Fat asked curiously.

"A rocket that can track down a heat source and shoot it down." Yang Feng pretended to be mysterious and said, this thing is very insidious, you must not use a tow target to test this thing, you have to play with real people, it is better to die a Chinese pilot than to die a German pilot.

Ge Fatzi suddenly became interested, but he knew that Yang Feng could be said to be the leader in the field of rockets, which can be seen from the rocket artillery he sold to the army, and now the 150 rocket artillery developed according to his rocket artillery has been officially equipped with the German Army, with a range of 15 kilometers, 12 installations, and a company of rocket artillery is simply a sea of fire.

The two didn't care about Zhu Jiaren and Henkel, and then took a car to a military airport where Yang Feng's special plane was located, and then Yang Feng asked the accompanying pilot to carry out two large wooden boxes from the cabin. (To be continued......)
