Chapter 509: No matter how hard it is, you have to do it! (2/1)
A number of people had gathered in the big tent in preparation for the airdrop to South Africa, and He Yiwei was also invited as an adviser on aviation technology.
In fact, the old man is one of the few people in the Green Paint District who has traveled to Africa. He Yiwei even went to the University of South Africa in Tshwane twice to attend academic exchange conferences, well, this Tshwane is now Pretoria, the capital of the Transvaal Republic established by the Boers.
Compared to Diana's carefully selected equipment for their trip to Africa, the old man felt that the issues he was in were discussing were more life-or-death issues for them.
Although the bomb drop bay in the Tu-160 is large enough to accommodate a rotating launcher carrying six AS.15 "Pole" subsonic air-launched cruise missiles, and can easily fit six "prop groups" at the same time, the "White Swan" itself does not have a launch device that can produce such an airdrop capsule.
As for the argument that some little white rough embryos who have never been in an airplane are clamoring to open the hatch and manually push the airdrop off the guide rails like the C-130, it is obvious that there is some misunderstanding of the four Kuznetsov NK-321 afterburner turbofan engines loaded under the wings of the Tu-160.
Even as a strategic bomber that can implement low-altitude subsonic raid tactics, the Tu-160 and C-130, professional transport aircraft that use propeller engines, are still incomparable, and no one can stay in the open magazine of the "White Swan" while it is in flight, let alone carry out operations such as manual airdrops.
The rough plan is to use the launch frame originally used by the Tu-160 to drop nuclear bombs to drop the drop capsule, after all, the volume of the nuclear bomb and the black technology drop capsule are similar. However, Maozi's nuclear bomb launcher was designed to serve only one nuclear bomb, and now there are six drop bays that need to be dropped, and the rough embryo has to modify this launcher.
Once it comes to the transformation of the original mechanical equipment, coupled with the completion of the maintenance department's rough unicorn arm, the probability of the device failure will definitely rise in a straight line.
Therefore, He Yiwei will have the equipment he carries, which is not the only key factor for John's survival, and those rough embryos in the maintenance department, even if any screw is not tightened, they can let their blood spill in the sky for a minute.
Of course, before encountering the above-listed airdrops and the risk of surviving in the wild after landing, they still have one more hurdle to overcome, that is, taking off and landing on the improvised runway of Dongwanyu.
In fact, the original dirt runway of Dong Wanlu has been cement-hardened, and the E4 ship has air traffic control, ground handling, and even a contractor who can speed up the construction of the Dutch and Turkish captives.
As early as when the "director team" did not release the South African mission, the rough embryos of East Wanlu had already begun to renovate the airport.
It's just that the quality of cement produced in the United States at the end of the 19th century sent by the Jews is there, and the runway repair ground they have tinkered with can barely provide take-off and landing services for light attack aircraft such as the AV-8B "Sea Harrier".
Heavy fighters like the F-15E bomb truck are estimated to be smashed down a few more times, and this runway of worrying quality will probably have to be completely ripped off and rebuilt.
He Yiwei is worried that even if the Tu-160 lands safely at the airport in Dongwanlu, the situation on the runway will not be able to make the "White Swan" take off.
Although the "White Swan" can fly 16,000 kilometers under the condition of low load, but from the data provided by Zhang Yu, the straight-line distance from the magic capital to Cape Town is about 13,000 kilometers.
In addition, although the black technology airdrop capsule provided by the "director team" has a thermal insulation oxygen supply device, it is impossible for John and the others to lie in it during the journey of more than ten hours, and they have to enter the airdrop capsule to stand by when the "White Swan" is refueling at Dongwanlu Airport.
It took a few more days for the rough embryos of the maintenance department to modify the nuclear bomb launcher, leaving only about twenty days left for Tenbutz and John to complete their plan, and Zhao Yi even doubted that this time would be able to get out of the wilderness of the plateau and contact their respective targets in the Transvaal region at the end of the nineteenth century, where modern transportation was lacking.
Seeing that the possibility of completing the South African mission issued by the "director team" is becoming more and more slim, and the noise caused by the militia under Yan Feng completely exceeds the requirements and estimates of the Provisional Executive Committee, which leads to the multiplication of the pressure on the traversers, there are voices in the green paint area that have begun to give up the South African mission.
"It seems that the Manchurian people can't control the situation in the inland areas of Shandong? This momentum looks much more fierce than the Boxer Rebellion in the original time and space, so that Hans, Eagle Sauce and even Maozi have begun to touch our bottom! , according to the usual face of the great powers. As long as someone wants to tear off a piece of meat from the Manchurian adult, they will also have to share some of it. Miss Litigator said.
"That is to say, once the Manchurians lose control of Shandong, the great powers will definitely take the opportunity to put forward interest claims, well, I estimate that there is a very high probability that there will be a treaty related to the territory among these demands, and then we will really steal chickens and rice." Huang Xiaolei continued.
"What about Yuan Shikai? Wasn't it in history that he led the New Army into Shandong to fight the Boxers at this point? Zhao Yi asked.
"Boss Zhao, what kind of bear did our armored troops beat the Xiedu who transferred Yuan Shikai to Zichuan before, do you think the big president on the silver dollar still dares to come?" Hao Dajian said.
"On the front foot, you just let us drive BB63 to show off our strength outside Tianjin Port, how dare the old demon woman who is thinking about the eternal solidity of the Qing Dynasty dare to let Yuan Datou lead the troops out of the Zhili area?" Feng Yunyi said.
"The problems that led to the outbreak of the large-scale Boxer Rebellion in the Shandong region around this point in time obviously existed before we landed in the Shandong region. Of course, the General Staff also underestimated the overall detonation effect of the decapitation of Li Bingheng on these problems, and now it is difficult for us to clean up the mess over there if we can't retreat. Lu Xiangyang said.
Indeed, the life of the adults is really difficult at the moment, and in order to get the same amount of reparations as in the history of the original time and space, the footpot chicken has increased the amount of each installment of the war reparations. As a result, although the total amount of compensation paid by the Manchu people is the same as in the history of the original time and space, each installment payment will be 25% more than that of the original time and space.
This has a direct impact on Guangxu's new army training plan, after all, there are other projects that need to be spent on the implementation of the new policy.
Moreover, after the incident of "interfering in the return of Liao" in the original time and space, the Manchu people hoarded much less troops in Northeast China than they are now, after all, to deal with a self-proclaimed orthodox "pseudo-Song Dynasty", the old witch and the little emperor are much more attentive than the Qianyang.
According to the old witch's face of "Ning and friends", the possibility of selling power or land in the future to seek external forces to intervene in Shandong is extremely high.
"You're implying to me that we're going to South Africa now to stir up trouble is very uncertain, aren't you?" Zhao Yi asked.
"Yes, the consequences are difficult to estimate. International relations at the end of the 19th century were already as chaotic as those of our Warring States Association. I now have at least five or six speculations in my head about international relations after we meddled in South Africa. Well, I'm talking about speculation based on the premise that we did not succeed in provoking the second Boer War. Huang Xiaolei said, it seems that our little sister of the lawyer doesn't seem to be very optimistic about John's ability to complete the task.
"No matter how unpredictable it is, then we have to gamble, if there is a strategic nuclear submarine that is still surfing outside, give us a nuclear peace messenger to wash the ground, I will ask you if you are dead? To put it mildly, even if it was an attack nuclear submarine, if you came up with a cruise missile that went straight to the green paint zone, what were you going to use to defend it? I'm afraid I can't find the best outcome, which is that we eat a torpedo on one of the warships outside, right? Zhao Yi said.
"Stop! Boss Zhao, your mouth has been opened, you can eat and talk nonsense if you really eat, okay? Hao Dajian said.
