Chapter 507: Trainer System

"Director Wu, is this kind of aircraft for sale?" The representative of the Yaman Empire, Admiral Catherine, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Air Force, couldn't hold back any longer, the two planes that he had just flown really liked him too much, compared to the several aircraft being studied in China, it really made people feel amazing.

Wu Yu smiled: "It's an era of peace, everyone is a friend, what's not to sell?" His Majesty is broad-minded and has already issued an order to allow us to sell new types of weapons, not only the Lightning and Barracuda planes just now, but also all the planes currently in service in our Air Force. ”

"Really?" Admiral Catherine felt that her brain was a little overwhelmed, when did the Chinese Empire, which usually sells inferior goods, turn around and be so generous, if the Chinese Empire sells such advanced aircraft, what are they still tossing in the country, and the planes they have researched are a little unsightly even if they are idealized data.

Admiral Catherine secretly decided that after returning to China, she must write a report asking for the purchase of all these advanced aircraft, and as for her own aircraft research institutes, let them save some money to buy a few more aircraft. Military representatives from various countries have similar ideas.

This kind of idea is exactly what Fang Xiaoyu wants, in exchange for better aircraft in exchange for countries to stop their own aircraft research, at least to suppress the research funds of aircraft laboratories in various countries, completely cut off their profits, and at the same time earn a lot of foreign exchange, and can prevent arms companies from reducing production capacity on a large scale, such a thing Fang Xiaoyu is very willing to do.

At this moment, Smith's face is already burning red, and his country's plane has completely become a foil compared to other people's products, no wonder the other party let his plane perform first, this is a naked humiliation. What Smith could not tolerate most was that the aircraft developed by the Boston Empire with the strength of the whole country were far inferior to the foreign trade products of a company, even though this company was recognized as the highest point of science and technology in the world.

Now there is a consensus between the Boston Empire and the high-level leaders of the Western Continent that the Chinese Empire with the Chinese Consortium is a super-first-class existence, if it loses the Chinese Consortium, although the Chinese Empire is also a strong country, it will become the weaker of the powerful countries, and Fang Xiaoyu, who created this miracle, is only thirty years old, and the Chinese Consortium has only grown for twenty years.

After being humiliated by Wu Yu, Smith was embarrassed to let his country's land-based fighter P-30 Kitty Hawk continue to fly, and even if he performed, it would only be a shame. Upon his return, Smith handed over a thick report detailing the importance of aircraft and future air supremacy, as well as the great achievements of the Chinese empire in the aviation industry.

This report made the Boston Imperial Government attach great importance to it, as a large empire that has always been striving for hegemony in the world, the purchase of its main combat weapons is absolutely not allowed, so they can only continue to increase investment in scientific research, and at the same time increase the number of weapons ordered, hoping to gain an advantage in quantity, and at the same time they also decided to buy some Chinese Imperial aircraft for research, so as to improve the level of their own aviation industry. In any case, this air show Boston Empire returned with a feather, and it was still the same as previous air shows, without receiving any orders, but the Chinese consortium made a lot of money.

Of course, the arms buying boom caused by the air show this time is not limited to the sale of aircraft, in order to find buyers for the military industry, Fang Xiaoyu has relaxed a lot of restrictions on arms exports, and even the navy's latest Zhili-class battleships are on the list that can be sold.

Unlike the Boston Empire, the Yaman Empire, as the victorious country with the greatest credit, although they thought that they had taken over the baton of hegemony from the Thar Empire, their national strength that had suffered heavy losses during the war, and the technological level that was increasingly unable to keep up with the trend of the world, made them a little incapable of military power.

Now all the funds are invested in economic construction, and the investment in scientific research is too small, so the Yaman Empire has to seek to purchase weapons from outside, especially the equipment with high scientific and technological content used by the navy and air force. This is the case with the Yaman Empire, and other countries such as the Habfsburg Kingdom, which is weaker than other countries, are even more unbearable, and they even only use their own models as research, and have no idea of equipping them at all.

In order to realize his strategic vision, Fang Xiaoyu was quite tolerant of these countries, and even allowed them to borrow money from the Bank of China for arms purchases, and various countries also gave a very enthusiastic response to the preferential treatment of the Chinese Empire. Many countries in the Western Continent eventually decided to buy large quantities of the Lightning fighters that shocked them, and of course, the Kunpeng 2 bomber, which had just been put into active service by the Chinese Empire.

On the naval side, the tonnage of the Naoli-class battleships was too high to occupy the limited tonnage, and the tonnage of this type of battleship even exceeded the total tonnage requirements of large warships in many countries limited by the Rome Convention. Therefore, the Shannan-class battleships, which performed well in the war and were inexpensive, and the Governor-General-class aircraft carriers purchased by several NATO allies were more interesting to them, while other small warships such as cruisers, destroyers, and submarines were mostly built themselves.

Seeing that the military enterprises of the Chinese consortium were working in full force and producing a large number of arms for foreign sales in exchange for a steady stream of foreign exchange, the arms dealers of the Boston Empire were quite jealous, and the only objects they could sell to Russia were embargoed by the Chinese Empire, and this was only when they could afford to buy them in the form of compensation in kind and payment in installments. Russia, which was committed to building an economy and had little scientific and technological strength, hit it off with the Boston Empire, and after receiving preferential payment methods, the Russian army was replaced with Boston's best active equipment from top to bottom.

Just when all countries were staring at the Cossack Empire and Russia, which were equipped with equipment from both China and Poland, hoping that they could fight to test the actual combat performance of the equipment purchased by various countries, Fang Xiaoyu had already begun to secretly equip the Guards Air Force with the Golden Eagle 4 jet fighters, but in order to hide the existence of these fighters as much as possible, the air force units of the Guards were all transferred to the sparsely populated inland areas.

The operation of jet fighters and propeller fighters is far from the same, and many pilots are not adapted to the high speed and low flexibility of jet fighters at the beginning, but fortunately, Fang Xiaoyu has been prepared for this, and the China Foundation has always had a full range of trainer aircraft in terms of aircraft.

If pilots from other countries want to train, they will first simulate training on the ground, and then use the relatively low speed of the Eagle fighter to train, and then wait until the operation is mature and then change to a better active aircraft, even if some countries try to build a two-seat version for training, it is only modified with an active aircraft.

The efficiency of training in this way is very low, the danger of the trainees is very high, and countries often have crashes during training, although personnel can escape by parachute, but the loss of the plane is relatively large, so in order to reduce the loss, all countries are focused on training elite pilots, unlike Fang Xiaoyu, who has cast a wide net across the country and relied on aviation schools and flying clubs to train a large number of pilots.

The training methods of the Chinese Empire and the air forces of other countries are different, and because the current aircraft need to pursue high speed and high agility, it will naturally be more difficult to fly, which will become more and more obvious after the widespread use of jet aircraft in the future.

The Chinese Empire not only has a two-seater trainer version of the aircraft in service, but also a series of specialized trainer aircraft. These trainers form a series, from primary, intermediate to advanced, they do not pursue aircraft performance, and to operate simply and fly smoothly, specifically for training pilots, plus the back seat of these two-seat trainers can also operate the aircraft, suitable for instructors, which makes the pilot training of the Chinese Empire safe, stable and convenient and fast, so there will be so many pilots in the Chinese Empire.

Although the training aircraft of the Chinese Air Force are all in series, they are all prepared for propeller aircraft, and the new jet aircraft is completely different from it. However, the Chinese consortium has long been prepared for this, and they not only launched the Mountain Eagle 5 jet trainer, but also specially manufactured a batch of two-seat trainer versions of the Golden Eagle 4 fighter.

The Iron Warriors have been equipped with the Golden Eagle 4 fighter for almost a year, and have already trained a good group of jet fighter pilots, and this time in order to support the Guards' redress, they sent a large number of instructors to help train, many of whom are elves who have served in the Guards.

With these two aircraft, the pilots of the Guards can quickly adapt to this type of aircraft, and the speed of formation of combat effectiveness is much faster. Guards pilots who are accustomed to propeller aircraft can first familiarize themselves with jet aircraft operation on the Mountain Eagle 5 trainer and then transfer to the Golden Eagle 4 two-seater trainer for training, which makes the training process much simpler.

Propeller planes and jets differ in many piloting details, and many pilots who are used to flying propeller planes need a long time to get used to the new aircraft, otherwise their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

When the U.S. military participated in the Korean War, many World War II ace pilots hurriedly switched to jet fighters, and as a result, because they were not accustomed to their performance, the level of operation was greatly reduced, which allowed those fledgling Chinese volunteer pilots to take advantage. Of course, there were reasons why the US planes were defeated by the Soviet MiG-15, but more often than not, the untimely habitual actions of the pilots ruined them.

With such a lesson from the past, Fang Xiaoyu naturally hoped that these guards would adapt to jet fighters as soon as possible and improve their operational level as soon as possible, and even Fang Xiaoyu had the idea of letting these people fly the Golden Eagle 4 fighter and secretly enter the Cossack Empire to participate in the war in order to achieve the purpose of military training.
