The battle order was issued, and the departments began to get busy.

The Yamen of the Military Headquarters began to issue orders for the transfer of troops, so that the selected regiments could move to combat positions and prepare for battle.

On the side of the household department, Xia Yuanji's busy heel hit the back of the head, the three armies did not move, the grain and grass went first, and he needed to mobilize the grain and grass to the combat area as quickly as possible.

On the side of the Ministry of Rites, they were anxiously preparing for the swearing-in meeting and arranging various matters.

The officials began to select personnel and prepare a reserve of officials for the land to be occupied next.

The Ministry of Industry is united with the artisan battalion to work overtime to produce various weapons for the front-line army.

Jin Yiwei and Moon Shadow Guard, this is to send all the intelligence officers to probe any information that is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, or to prepare for sabotage assassination and sneak attacks.

Each department performs its own duties and makes the most adequate preparations for the upcoming war.

The officials were busy, and the palace never stopped.

The old man and Zhu Chupang have been born for two days, and they are so angry that they don't even eat today.

The reason is also very simple.

The old man wanted to personally command this battle and complete the last expedition in his life again, but Zhu Fatpang sternly refused.

In Zhu Chubby's words: Dad, you are so old, it is bitter cold in a different place, if you have a headache and cold, your son is not at ease.

For his son's suspicion of his body, the old man angrily opened his mouth and scolded his mother, if it weren't for his son who was now the emperor, he would have beaten people.

The two fathers and sons have quarreled more than once over this matter.

Zhu Zhangui had long expected that there would be such a play, so he decided to fight Timur over there, and here he went to the craftsman camp to hide and relax.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, all the pilots of the Ministry of Aerospace have been assembled, please review!"

Early this morning, the Ministry of Aerospace, which was also busy with the war, received a notice from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's personal escort that His Royal Highness would come to the Ministry of Aerospace today to inspect and ask all the pilots of the aircraft to put down their work at hand and assemble to be on standby, and to be notified of important matters.

Zhu Zhangui, who was wearing a military uniform, followed the Minister of Space and inspected 150 pilots.

After so many years of reserves, Daming has a total of more than 1,300 flight pilots, of which 150 have been selected as aircraft pilots.

It's not that there can't be more, but there are not so many planes, and when they are selected, there are no trainers for them to learn.

After more than half a year of assembly and storage, the Ministry of Aerospace has only 20 fighter planes, and can only barely let the pilots train, and it will take some time to have one of them.

"Salute!"

As the leader Gao Hang shouted, all the pilots raised their hands to Zhu Zhangui and saluted.

Zhu Zhangui also returned the salute solemnly.

After the salute, Zhu Zhangui looked at all the pilots and said loudly:

"I'm sure many people know that war has come."

"For my Ming Dynasty, this war did not use so many troops, but its significance is not trivial."

"In the past, most of our wars were fought to recover our inherent territory, and even if we launched wars against other countries, we fought against some countries with small countries and few people."

"Such a country, such a force, there is no challenge for us Daming."

"But the war that will be fought next is completely different from the past."

"Our opponent is a powerful empire, which used to intimidate the entire Eastern and Western worlds."

"Although they are now down, there is a good saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In addition, they are in alliance with the strongest countries in the world at present to jointly research new weapons, and their combat capability and will to fight are by no means inferior to ours. ”

"Soldiers, robes, brothers, a new challenge is coming, whether it will be a success or a horse leather shroud, we can't predict."

"But as a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, we are not afraid of any challenge, we are not afraid of any threat, we obey the will of His Majesty the Emperor, we follow the will of the people of the world, we will fight for the Ming Dynasty, for the people of the world, to the last moment, to leave the last drop of blood."

"Da Ming, Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!"

The 150 pilots, with solemn expressions, roared in unison.

"As the saying goes: if you want to attack it first, you must first sharpen your weapons, and good soldiers must also have good equipment!"

Zhu Zhangui looked at all the pilots, and under the expectant gaze of everyone, he said in a loud voice: "The army has advanced rifles and powerful artillery, the navy has steel warships that crisscross the sea, and there are naval guns that destroy everything!" ”

"And our air force only has airships that fly slowly in the sky, or planes that fly low, fly slowly, and can't fly far like short-legged ducks in the air."

All the pilots were instantly speechless.

Does Your Highness have some misunderstanding about their Air Force?

Where is their Air Force weak?

The airship is so powerful, the transportation capacity is so strong, and the bombing ability is so good, and it doesn't fly slowly.

And how much His Royal Highness looks down on airplanes, and even compares the most advanced flying machine of the Ming Dynasty to a short-legged duck!

It really doesn't make sense.

In other words, it was the prince who said this, and if it were other people's arrogant planes, the pilots would have rushed up a long time ago, and they would have been full of old punches.

"I see that many people are not convinced in their eyes, and they think that I am talking about your Air Force weapons so badly, isn't it!"

Noticing the pilot's gaze, Zhu Zhangui asked with a smile.

No one dared to speak, let alone answer.

Zhu Zhangui looked at Gao Hang, "Captain Gao, you say." ”

"Huh!"

Gao Hang's cheeks twitched, and he secretly glanced at his minister, and when he saw him nodding slightly, he replied loudly: "Report to Your Highness, there is indeed a point, our air force is actually very powerful." ”

In order to get the opportunity to fight, Gao Hang can be regarded as a free man.

When the news of the war reached below, the Air Force was also very excited and hurriedly prepared.

Of course, the preparations were all airship units, and their air force flying brigade did not receive any orders to fight.

For this reason, the pilots were very disappointed, but looking at the poor 20 training planes that had not yet been armed, they suddenly felt that it might be a very wise choice for the imperial court not to let them join the war.

At that moment, they felt that the plane they were flying now was really a bantam duck as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said.

It doesn't fly high, it doesn't fly far, and as for speed, they think it's okay, at least faster than an airship.

Pull such a plane to the battlefield, the superiors gave the order, and they didn't know how to fight.

With their poor endurance of 100 miles, it is not certain whether they can fly back if they fly out.

After all, airplanes can't land anytime and anywhere, and they need a series of facilities such as airports.

The army is moving at any time, and it is simply impossible to waste time and effort to repair airfields for them anytime and anywhere.

Therefore, for the next war, there may not be anything about their flying group, and everyone is actually ready to accept it.

However, just when they were ready to prepare for the cold bench at home, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came down.

Who is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

That's a legendary god-man!

There are so many advanced weapons in the army, advanced means of transportation, and so many strange things among the people, but they all flow out of the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince.

No one knows where these things come from, but everyone knows in their hearts that with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, there are many things that cannot be manufactured.

Countless people were curious about where these things came from, but no one dared to inquire or check them.

There have been countless people in front of them to prove that if they dare to inquire about this matter, they must be ready to report to Lord Yama.

So everyone who speculated in this regard kept silent and pretended to be blind and stupid.

However, they all have a common affirmation in their hearts, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately goes to a certain army and a certain place, he will bring different magical items to this unit.

So as soon as they heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming, all the pilots' hearts were pounding with excitement, and their air force was finally about to usher in something good.

The three crashing motorcycles and rocket artillery vehicles on the army's side, and the steel battleships on the navy's side, have long made their eyes red with envy, and now it's finally their turn to fly in the air team.

"Hehe, yes, it turns out that you think it's very powerful!"

Zhu Zhangui chuckled, turned his head to Hu Yu beside him and said, "Hu Yu, since their air force thinks they are very strong, then let people pull back what we have prepared!" ”

"Something!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and then the serious captain Gao Hang hugged Zhu Zhangui's thighs all of a sudden.

"Don't, Your Highness, my subordinates were farting just now, our air force is really weak, so weak that even a flying bird can't kill it!"

"Hahaha..."

There was a burst of laughter.

"You, you, you're still the captain, you don't look like a captain at all."

Zhu Zhangui shook his head amusedly.

"It doesn't matter what captain is or not, as long as you can get something new, it's okay to say I'm a Rippy dog."

"Hahaha..."

Another burst of laughter.

"Okay, get up, how can I pull it back with the things I finally got it!"

Stretching out his hand to pull the Laipi dog up, Zhu Zhangui patted Gao Hang's shoulder, "Let's go, take you to see the new plane, which is also the plane of the main battle sequence of my Ming Dynasty." ”

"Yes!"

As soon as they heard that there was indeed a new plane, all the pilots responded excitedly and loudly.

A group of lively and lively came to a huge warehouse, under the expectation of everyone, Zhu Zhangui waved to the two soldiers guarding the door, the two saluted, and opened the door of the hangar behind them under the expectant eyes of all the pilots.

"Bang la-la", the door opened, and a huge warehouse space appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

There was only one plane inside, and it was also covered with a huge canvas.

Judging by the appearance of this cover, the fuselage should be very long, and it should also be a monoplane fighter.

"Your Highness!"

Gao Hang rubbed his hands excitedly, but Zhu Zhangui did not give an order, and he did not dare to go rashly.

Zhu Zhangui smiled slightly and waved his hand, "Go, go and see your new partner, your new comrade-in-arms!" ”

"Yes!"

Gao Hang responded excitedly, and under the cheers of all the pilots, he led a group of people to surround him.

"Whoa!"

The canvas was pulled down, and an airplane with a very smooth shape and a very stylish shape appeared in front of everyone.

"Well... Good stuff... Good stuff..."

Seeing such a perfect plane, the hearts of all pilots were on fire, and they reached out and excitedly stroked the shell of the aircraft, just like touching their most beloved person.

"This aircraft is called Xuanniao, it is the second generation fighter of my Ming Dynasty, equipped with the latest air-cooled engine, with 260 horsepower."

"Equipped with three heavy machine guns specially designed for this fighter, namely the engine coaxial machine gun and the two-wing machine gun, with a capacity of 800 rounds, it can carry two 100-kilogram aerial bombs, or a 200-kilogram bomb."

"It can fly 300 miles in half an hour, and the longest flight distance of the fuel tank can reach 800~900 miles."

"In other words, you can cross a thousand miles in about an hour and a half with this plane, which is even more powerful than the legendary Maxima who travels thousands of miles a day."

Zhu Zhangui stepped forward and introduced the performance of this aircraft to the pilots.

This plane was not produced by the craftsman battalion, but Zhu Zhangui pulled it out from the second floor.

Zhu Zhangui also doesn't know much about historical fighter jets, and the supermarket doesn't introduce the name, and he doesn't know whether this aircraft has appeared in history.

But it doesn't matter, he doesn't study military history, and it doesn't matter which country produces it, as long as it belongs to him now.

Maybe Daming now has the ability to produce aircraft, and the price given by the supermarket is not expensive, 300,000 taels of aircraft, but there is no warranty, and if it is broken, it will be fiddled with by the craftsman battalion or the aerospace department itself.

At the beginning, Zhu Zhangui didn't think about letting the flying group also join this battle, because as he said, the performance of the aircraft equipped by the flying group was too backward, and it was okay to be a training plane, and it made no sense at all to pull it into the battlefield.

But when this fighter was pulled out, he felt that it was time for the Ming Air Force to show his muscles to the world.

There is no money on the imperial court's side, and there is a lot of money needed to fight a war, and if you want the imperial court to pay for a plane, it is forcing Xia Yuanji to commit suicide.

So Zhu Zhangui gritted his teeth and stomped his feet in the end, took out his own pocket, took out 15 million taels, and purchased 50 fighters for the Air Force.

"Okay, great, that's exactly what we need."

Gao Hang stroked the fighter jet, and after listening to Zhu Zhangui's introduction of the aircraft's performance, his face was swollen red with excitement.

If it weren't for the fact that the crown prince was still here, he would not hesitate to jump on it and fly this plane into the sky.

"How much can Your Highness equip us?"

After feeling the plane and being excited for a long time, Gao Hang calmed down and looked at Zhu Zhangui nervously.

It's a very good plane, but if there aren't many of them, and there's only this one, it's completely meaningless.

Zhu Zhangui smiled slightly and stretched out a palm.

Looking at the five fingers stretched out in front of Zhu Zhangui, Gao Hang was a little disappointed.

"There are only five, which is a bit small, but it's barely acceptable."

"Smack!"

Zhu Zhangui raised his hand angrily and patted this guy on the head.

"You look down on Lone so much, I will give you 5 planes back with so many words, you can accept it, I can't afford to lose that face!"

Gao Hang, who was originally slightly disappointed in his heart, became excited again, and his tone trembled a little and asked, "Is it 500?" ”

"Smack!"

Zhu Zhangui slapped again angrily, "Do you have so many people, and although Lao Tzu is the prince, he is not the eighth king of the wishing pool, there are 50 of them!" ”

"Let me tell you, I will deliver the plane to you in two days, you have to train me well, when you get to the battlefield, if you can't exert your power for me, don't do it as a flight captain, and you will honestly wash the toilet at the airport for the rest of your life."

"Yes!"

As soon as he heard that there were 50 planes and that they were going to the battlefield, Gao Hang excitedly stood up and saluted and responded loudly.
