Chapter 463: A Generation Machine

Ante Polman, who had been waiting in the conference room for a long time, couldn't help but take the initiative to knock on the office door when he saw that the two had not yet come, and only woke the two up from their discussion.

Fang Lang said sorry very politely, and after signaling to Kurt Tanke, they walked to the conference room together.

After following Ante Polman into the conference room, Fang Lang found that this was a conference room, but rather a training classroom, because there was no common large conference table here.

There are only small individual seats, and a small long table in front of the seats. At this time, the conference room was already full of people, densely packed, at least nearly a hundred people.

As Fang Lang and the others entered, everyone got up one after another and responded with warm applause, welcoming the boss who saved them from their suffering.

There are some people here who Fang Lang knows, but most of them he has not seen.

After feeling everyone's enthusiasm, Fang Lang also waved to everyone with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to step forward to shake hands with Horton and other people he was familiar with one by one, greeting each other, and after a while, he slowly walked to the main seat similar to the podium.

Seeing that a cup of tea had been placed on the main seat, he couldn't wait to take a sip first, moistened his throat and said slowly:

"Hello everyone, I'm Fang Lang, I believe everyone should know me, so I won't introduce myself too much.

Today I was supposed to come to see the first aircraft built by our company, but Professor Kurt Tanck always told me that the propeller plane was too backward for him to be interested, and if he wanted to play, he had to play with high-precision jet fighters.

pulled me to a soft grind and hard bubble, and used the enthusiasm of pursuing his lover at the beginning, I can't resist this enthusiasm, the key is that I have no interest in men!

But it's not a way to be chased by him like this all the time, if my girlfriend misunderstands me, I'll be in trouble. So, in the end, he had to compromise and agreed to let him set up a research group on jet fighters. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and when Horton heard this, his eyes lit up, his eyes burned at Fang Lang, and he began to think in his heart, should he also sell his hue in exchange for his own project!

Fang Lang's intuition was keen, and he immediately noticed Horton's gaze, and hurriedly said directly:

"Don't be anxious, Mr. Houghton, as the saying goes, lice don't itch, debts don't worry.

Since I have agreed to Professor Tanke's R&D plan, I will naturally not favor one over the other, and after today's seminar, we will discuss your project separately, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, Horton nodded with satisfaction and replied loudly:

"Good!"

When everyone in the conference room heard this, they all laughed, and at the same time, they began to secretly look forward to it. For a while, the atmosphere of the entire conference room was much more cheerful.

Let everyone who saw that the boss was still a little cramped, they were relieved, it seems that the boss is a very kind person!

After everyone quieted down, Fang Lang said slowly:

"Why do you want to organize everyone to put down the work at hand today and come together to hold such a symposium!

Definitely not to tell you about the new project, mainly because, in the exchange with Professor Kurt Tanck today, I found some problems, and here I would like to share with you some of the latest tactical ideas of the Air Force that I have learned.

Avoid the situation where we work behind closed doors and the product that has just been manufactured is already behind. Then we're going to waste a lot of research funding. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but look at Kurt Tanke, and Fang Lang hurriedly waved his hand at everyone when he saw this.

"I'm not criticizing Professor Kurt Tanck, but you should know that in the original research, people came up with specific performance indicators, and then everyone designed around them.

But now our company has not received orders from the military, so it is impossible to determine specific performance indicators, and the research and development work needs to give full play to our own subjective initiative to develop excellent products.

Attract the attention of the military, and even promote our products to the air forces of other countries. Only in this way can our company be profitable and have more funds to support everyone's follow-up research plans.

And if we want our products to be good enough to attract the attention of the military and the air forces of other countries, we need all to have a clear understanding of the tactical thinking of the future air force.

As a commander of an aircraft carrier group, I happen to have access to the latest tactical ideas, so I have gathered you here today to bring out some of the latest tactical ideas I have learned and some of my conjectures about future air combat models, and to discuss with you, hoping to inspire you. ”

When everyone in the conference room heard this, they began to talk to each other, but fortunately, they quickly refocused their eyes on Fang Lang's body.

Of course, Fang Lang could also hear everyone's voices, he deliberately paused, also to see everyone's reactions, and waited until everyone was quiet before he spoke again:

"Just now I heard everyone's discussion, and some people said that now that there is peace, will the need for military equipment not be so great. We have invested heavily in research and development of products, can we find the right buyers.

I can understand the hope that everyone is looking forward to peace, and I am very grateful for the consideration of my boss as an employee.

However, I would like to regret to tell you that peace did not come with the end of the European war, as everyone had hoped. Instead, it took a different form and began to erupt on a small scale around the world.

Perhaps, world wars such as the European War will not happen again, but civil wars in various countries due to ideology will occur one after another. The confrontation between the capitalist camp led by the United States and Britain and the other big camp led by the Soviet Union will intensify intensibly.

Brazil, where we are located, is a rare hideaway to ensure that you can conduct your research in a relatively safe environment.

Therefore, Brazil is now a treasure trove for everyone to show their strengths. You don't have to worry about the uselessness of the products you have developed. ”

Fang Lang said these words in order to keep these outstanding high-level intellectuals and technical elites of the aviation industry in his hands, lest they hear that Germany is about to lift restrictions, and their hearts will be flustered and they want to go home.

Although he brought everyone's family to Brazil at the beginning, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will miss their homeland and want to return to their homeland.

After everyone heard Fang Lang's words, they all looked nervous and slightly worried, while some people looked happy.

Fang Lang didn't dwell too much on this topic, and continued to speak:

"Some people also say, can I, the commander of the Brazilian Navy's aircraft carrier group, understand the world's latest tactical thinking and future warfare methods?

Who is this to look down on! Don't leave after class, let's have a good chat in the playground! ”

Everyone who understood that Fang Lang was joking heard the words, and there was another burst of laughter.

"Don't say it, I, an inconspicuous commander of naval aviation, really understand the world's latest tactical thinking and future methods of warfare.

Why? As we all know, Brazil and the United States are very close, and I have close relations with many American generals, and some time ago, I hired many retired American generals to work as consultants in one of my companies. So, I said that I have a lot of American generals under my command, and you shouldn't have any objections! ”

Of course, everyone believes this, after all, the recruitment of mercenaries by the military contracting company in Brazil was also a ruckus, and everyone knows that the boss behind the military contracting company is the young man in front of him.

With this understanding, everyone really had to start taking Fang Lang's words seriously.

In my exchanges with these American generals, I also have my own set of understandings about the ways and means of future warfare and tactical thinking, and today I will take out my understandings and discuss them with you.

During World War II, the performance of fighter jets was improved, and the widespread use of radio and radar led to improved command conditions and closer coordination between the various arms.

Air force aviation mainly conducts large-formation air combat and large-scale concentrated bombing. Tactics to support army and navy operations have also been comprehensively developed.

These are all real experiences of our experience in World War II, and I believe that I don't need to say more, everyone already knows it very well.

So with the advent of jet fighters after World War II, how will the tactics of our air force change?

First of all, now the world's major countries have begun their own jet fighter research, more precisely, it should be jet fighter research, jet fighter characteristics I believe you should know better than me, faster speed, higher ceiling.

As for him, his role has not changed much, and he is still used to compete with the enemy for air supremacy.

But is his tactic still a large-scale concentration and a large-scale air battle with the enemy?

I don't think so, after all, the high speed and high ceiling of jet fighters make him need more space to move, rather than gathering densely with a large number of aircraft, so that he will collide with his own people.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the air combat formation will inevitably gradually transition to the mode of mobile air combat and tactical coordination between the formations.

And the jet fighter that uses this tactic, I classify it as a first-generation jet fighter. ”

Everyone below began to discuss one after another, and Fang Lang didn't stop it when he saw this, but waited for everyone's discussion, and wanted to see if anyone raised objections, and then took it out for discussion.

But obviously everyone present was an expert, and they could easily understand Fang Lang's words, so soon everyone nodded one after another, looked at Fang Lang, and waited for his next step.

Seeing that no one asked, Fang Lang was not disappointed, just nodded and continued to speak:

"Now the tactical thinking of the air forces of all countries in the world is transitioning in this direction, so under the guidance of this tactical thinking, what kind of performance does our fighter need to have in order to make the air force pay?"

Saying that, Fang Lang stretched out his fingers and counted them one by one:

"More speed, higher ceilings, greater combat radius, better maneuverability, better handling, greater destruction. These are the things we have been pursuing.

But is there anything else besides that? ”

After speaking, Fang Lang's gaze swept over the people in the conference room, hoping to get everyone's answer, but obviously, it was difficult for everyone to come up with other ideas in a hurry, so they could only wait for Fang Lang's answer.

Seeing this, Fang Lang didn't sell it, and said directly:

"My answer is yes, and I have been inspired by the Americans, which is to be the first to spot the enemy's tracks.

Everyone knows that jet fighters are very fast, and they may have come to you in the blink of an eye, and it is obvious that looking for traces of the enemy with the naked eye alone is no longer up to date.

So, the Americans began to put anti-aircraft search radars on their fighters. In other words, they can detect the enemy's traces without the guidance of ground radar.

This is, in my opinion, a very big step forward and a new direction for our fighter design. ”
