Chapter 182: Spear and Shield

At the sight of the plane, the Marquis of Whitehead immediately thought of its military role. But imagination is imagination, and it was only after he really saw the change of the aircraft on the entire mode of warfare that he realized that he had far underestimated the impact of this new air combat weapon on the war situation.

The Imperial Frontier Army was chased by the Parliamentarian Army like a duck being chased. If it weren't for the fact that the parliamentary army had been in force for a short time, had not experienced actual combat, had not had enough military literacy from top to bottom, and had been dispatched too frequently, there would have been logistical problems. The Imperial Frontier Army has been surrounded by the Parliamentarian forces and has carried out the final annihilation.

Now although the Imperial Army has withdrawn most of the troops of the Frontier Army, no one is optimistic about the next war. They believed that the planes of the Parliamentary Army could not be suppressed, and that the military power of the Empire would soon be bombed and lose the confidence to continue fighting.

The Imperial Army needed its own aircraft, and only the Black Fire Company could produce it.

The Marquis of Whitehead's visit was to buy the planes of the Black Fire Company. However, after the Marquis said his intentions, Da Liang refused very simply: "I'm sorry, Lord Marquis!" I had an agreement with the Marcellus Council that within a year of the outbreak of the war, Blackfire would not sell its aircraft to the public. In addition, the capacity of my aircraft manufacturing plant is still being increased, and the parliamentary order has already made my factory open day and night. ”

Da Liang was right. The Council of Marcellus, which had already tasted the sweetness of airplanes, had added a batch of orders for aircraft, and they were ready to annihilate the Imperial Army in the territory in the shortest possible time, and then Marcellus could gain real independence.

The aircraft manufacturing plant of Black Fire Airlines is really working day and night, and Daliang, who is full of money, offers high overtime bonuses, so that the workers are willing to contribute their labor force happily.

The arms business was indeed the most profitable, especially during the war. It is conceivable that after the stunning appearance of the aircraft in the Marcellus War, it will have an impact on the world arms business.

The Marquis of Whitehead, however, could not wait a year, saying: "Without a means of restraining the Parliamentary planes, the Empire will be utterly defeated at Marcellus within a year." And I'm ...... I was certainly no match for the parliamentary army at that time.

Don't you want Marcellus? Then sell the plane to the Empire. ”

Da Liang insisted: "Lord Marquis, I am a trustworthy businessman. I promised Peters not to sell planes for a year, so I wouldn't break the contract.

In fact, as long as you find the right way to deal with the plane, it is not difficult to deal with it. ”

The Marquis of Whitehead immediately asked: "Is there any way to suppress the planes of the Parliament." ”

Da Liang replied: "The aircraft is an air combat weapon with very obvious advantages and at the same time very obvious weaknesses. It is very capable of attacking, but it is extremely fragile itself, and it can be easily destroyed if it can be hit.

The Reich wants to deal with the plane, first of all, do not be afraid of it. The Empire has more Silver Wings than the Parliamentary Army, and as long as the Imperial Army can separate a certain number of Silver Wings, it can limit the use of aircraft. ”

Using the advantage of the Silver Wing to limit the Parliamentary Army aircraft was originally one of the plans formulated by the Imperial Army, but ...... The Marquis said: "The Parliamentary Army also has a Silver Wing, and the Silver Wing of the Imperial Frontier Army needs to be dispersed to various defense areas, and when the Silver Wing escort group of the Parliamentary Army launches an attack from a certain battlefield, it will be too late for us to transfer the Silver Wing from other theaters."

The main thing is that there are so many parliamentary planes that they are flying everywhere and our Silver Wing is overwhelmed. ”

Now the Imperial Army is on the defensive side, and there is no way to organize an attack if it loses the battle on the border, so it causes the Silver Wings to disperse. Due to the pressure caused by the parliamentary aircraft, the Imperial army increased the frequency of the Silverwing's air duty, leaving the Silverwing pilots very tired and unable to recover their mana in time.

Then it's time for Da Liang's sales.

"Then the Empire needs equipment that can detect the direction of the Parliamentary planes in advance." Da Liang snapped his fingers, and Sophia, the captain of the chamberlain, spread out a drawing on the table in front of the two of them. Da Liang pointed to the drawings and said to the marquis: "This is the Black Fire Company targeting the aircraft...... Including all airborne early warning equipment developed by airborne objects, I call it radar.

The principle of radar is to continuously transmit electromagnetic wave signals to the sky, when there is a flying object in the sky, the electromagnetic wave will be reflected back and received by the radar receiver, and then the size of the target, flight speed, flight altitude and many other data can be calculated according to the characteristics of the received electromagnetic wave.

We can tell if it's a bird, an airplane, or a silver wing. ”

At present, the military forces of all sides of the Order Star do not have an effective means to detect flying objects in advance, and more often send forward observers to observe the air, or send Silver Wings and airships to carry out patrols. However, the efficiency of these detection methods is too low, it is difficult to carry out long-range early warning of incoming air targets, and the probability of not being able to make timely early warning is very high.

If there is all-weather all-round monitoring of air targets, then the Imperial Army can detect the incoming parliamentary aircraft group as soon as possible, and then calmly deploy silver wings from various defense areas to intercept them. Moreover, with this full-time early warning equipment, the patrol time of the Silver Wing can be reduced, and the Silver Wing pilot can be rested, which can also greatly increase the air power of the Imperial Army in the event of a battle.

The Marquis knew that this was a pit that Young Master Liang had prepared a long time ago, but he still asked eagerly: "How far away can your radar detect and warn targets in advance?" ”

"I have built a batch of radar test machines, and after repeated tests, I can accurately detect flying objects at a distance of 150 kilometers, and within the range of 120 kilometers to 150 kilometers, I can judge whether the target of the detection is an aircraft and its size.

If you use it in combination, you will find that the distance will be longer.

It is enough to provide the empire with fifteen to twenty minutes of warning time. The Imperial Army can set up anti-aircraft fire nets in advance in the direction of the aircraft's attack, allowing the Silver Wing to take up an advantageous position in advance, and the support of other defense areas can also arrive faster.

If used correctly, you can take the Parliamentary fleet by surprise and carry out a large-scale annihilation operation. ”

Since the appearance of the aircraft, it has been the sharp spear of the attacker, and the invention of radar is a shield against the aircraft in response to the appearance of the aircraft. The battle between aircraft and radar has never stopped......

Da Liang gave the parliamentary planes, this time to hand over the radar to the Empire.

The marquis glanced at the drawings and said, "I want all of this batch of radars from the Black Fire Company!" ”
