What Zhou Changfeng conceived was actually a gunboat machine, which was a special weapon of public security warfare with excellent ground strike capability but low survivability, which was often over-mythologized in later generations.

After all, no matter what, it is also based on the transformation of transport aircraft, if the target has a certain amount of anti-aircraft firepower, the slow and thin-skinned gunboat is almost equivalent to a live target.

Therefore, it is only suitable for hitting targets without air defense, and it can do a good job - because it is the base of a transport aircraft, it can carry a lot of ammunition, hover over the enemy's head for a long time, constantly pour firepower, and because it flies slowly, the hit rate is also good.

In addition to the AC-130 gunboat aircraft modified from the C-130 "Hercules" transport plane, the US military also used the famous C-47 transport aircraft to transform the AC-47 "Phantom" gunboat aircraft.

In fact, as early as the interwar period, around 7926, a U.S. Army Aviation officer named Nelson once "pitched" his own design to the Army—a machine gun mounted on a biplane and fired through a simple aiming aid, which could effectively hit the target area while circling.

In fact, it is of little significance to design and transform the gunboat machine specifically for suppressing bandits, but it cannot stand the future needs of the Ming army.

In the future, if you occupy the Nanyang region, if there is a resistance group in the area, it will be much easier to have this kind of thing.

But how can we get the attention of the bigwigs? It is better to have actual combat examples as evidence.

And there is no war to fight in the short term, I'm afraid that only the bandits can barely be used as an example, that is, how many transport planes must be quickly transformed?

Zhou Changfeng's idea is very good, but it is too hasty at the moment, not to mention that he is only a mid-level officer in the Marine Corps.

But how can you give up so easily without trying?

He decided to try it out the back door, but there didn't seem to be a suitable candidate at the moment - although the 1st Marine Regiment was directly subordinate to the Admiral's Office of the Oriental Fleet, he was not familiar with the bigwigs in the Navy.

The only generals I know are Xu Zhanwei and Yang Zhen, I only asked Xu Zhanwei a few days ago, and now I am really embarrassed to speak again; As for Yang Zhen, he is a theoretical general, and he may not have so many resources.

After thinking about it, Zhou Changfeng was very sad to find that he could only go to the titular "backer" Princess Ning You?

On the one hand, there is a woman who can make herself uncomfortable, and on the other hand, there is a design idea of a gunboat machine that has both characteristics and needs.

After struggling for a moment, he hesitantly dialed a number.

Transfer, transfer, transfer.

After a while, a crisp female voice rang on the other end of the phone, "The Minister of Epidemic Control is on the platform, who is the matter?" ”

Zhou Changfeng reported a secret word, and the other party was obviously stunned for a moment, and then replied to ask him to wait.

"Your Highness will take a break at noon, and I'll be back later."

A quarter of an hour.

Half-hour.

One hour.

When the phone rang again, Zhou Changfeng couldn't help but complain in his heart about why this so-called "nap" was so long?

"It's strange today, you're going to take the initiative to call?" Zhu Lingjing on the other end of the phone obviously just woke up, and her voice was lazy, "Say, business or private?" ”

"Business. I have an idea that I plan to show in this mission to suppress bandits, so that I can recommend it to the generals of the military department. ”

"That's not the point. What do you want? ”

It's pretty straightforward, huh... It's okay to be direct.

Zhou Changfeng replied without thinking, "Uh... several planes and remodeled. ”

Zhu Lingjing, who didn't care, just said "oh" and said casually: "It's not a big deal." You can go to the Admiral's Palace. ”

"That's... Who do you contact when you go? ”

"Report your name, and someone will contact you."

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Lingjing, who looked as usual, covered her mouth and yawned, and then slowly stood up.

She didn't care what Zhou Changfeng was doing, it was not so much trust as a judgment of human nature.

After all, there is no doubt that his kind of person is willing to take the initiative to call for help must be for the sake of business.

It's good to have contacts and contacts, even if it is essentially a master and a slave, but it has always been a one-way control of the other party.

It is very complicated to say that the art of mastering is very complicated, but there are only a few cores to condense its essence - enveloping rewards, punishing Liwei, containing balance, and so on. These cores can be expanded and arranged and combined, such as the most classic slap and sweet date.

All in all, it's a good start.

With the guarantee of his own "backer", Zhou Changfeng was also much relieved, and it can be said that he still believed in Zhu Lingjing's potential resources.

After explaining his purpose to the officers, he asked Xie Wancheng to take over the management and coordinate the troops to Wuhan Mansion, while he took a few guards and prepared to leave for Hangzhou Mansion.

Considering that the lieutenant colonel of the fourth rank was already a big official this year, in order not to be too eye-catching, Zhou Changfeng removed the rank card on the regular uniform, and found a military police second lieutenant's rank card and glued it on, so that it would not be too high-profile.

Buying tickets, entering the station, and boarding the train in an orderly manner, the train drove out of Wuxi Railway Station with the sound of a whistle of "woo woo woo".

The long ordinary private train runs smoothly on the track, generally speaking, the train operated by the Daming National Railway Company is divided into first, second and third class cars, the first class car needless to say, leather seats, wide and bright, providing a variety of delicious meals and drinks.

The second-class car is the choice that most salaried people will choose, it is decent, only provides free tea, and if you want to eat, you have to spend extra money to buy it; The third-class train is the most crowded, there are no seats inside, and passengers can only stand or bring their own things to sit on the mat, which is equivalent to a standing ticket.

The train entered the Chongde County Railway Station, and the next stop was Hangzhou.

Because this is a small station, the management is not strict, and there are many people selling chickens, ducks and fruits by the platform.

When the train stopped to pick up and drop off passengers, people gathered around the carriages to peddle their belongings.

Instead of selling to second-tier dealers, it's better to come over by yourself and make a little more money.

Zhou Changfeng, whose mind was full of how to equip the transport plane with weapons transformation, was suddenly interrupted by a teenager's voice.

"Sir, will you try some strawberries? I washed everything I just picked this morning. ”

Outside the car window were a pair of brothers and sisters, the elder brother was about eleven or twelve years old, and the younger sister was probably less than ten years old. They both carried small baskets full of strawberries, and the boy held a rod in his hand.

The boy tiptoed and reached out to hand a strawberry, and the interested Zhou Changfeng reached out and took it and threw it into his mouth.

"How much is a pound?"

"A corner."

Strawberries only cost a dime a pound? If you convert it, it will be nine dollars for the next generation.

Although the strawberries of later generations have been selected and bred, although they are delicious, they are really painful to pay dozens of dollars a pound at every turn.

So Zhou Changfeng asked for three catties very generously, planning to eat a good meal.

At about this moment, two scoundrel-like young men swaggered over, fierce and vicious.

"Who let you in without paying? Roll as far as you want! ”

One of them waved his hand and slapped it on the pole, and the bamboo basket hanging below fell to the ground, and countless strawberries rolled all over the ground.
