June 2, 255 (1914), Hanjing.

Early in the morning, the ambassadors of the three Entente countries approached Wen Deji together.

French Ambassador to China Immanuel Kant said eagerly: "Mr. President, please open your country's fighter technology to us?"

"Oh, our fighter technology, may I ask, is this a request from France, or a request from Britain and Russia?" asked Wen Deji quietly.

The British ambassador to China, Jurdian, said: "Mr. President, this is what we ask of the Entente. If your country is willing to transfer fighter technology, it will gain the friendship of our Entente countries. ”

Wen Desi frowned and said: "Everyone, you must know that fighter technology is the core military technology of our country, so I'm sorry, this will not be open to the outside world." ”

Zhu Erdian blinked and said with a smile: "Mr. President, we will not let your country be transferred in vain, I think we are sincere, what do you think of 3o million pounds?"

"It's not a matter of money, fighter technology is a matter of national defense and security," Wen Desi picked up the shelf.

Mr. Wen knew that this was because the Entente was beaten badly by Erdezi, and he was eager to recover the situation before he came to the door.

This time, France suffered the heaviest losses, only more than half a month after the war began, and the five main armies were dumpling, most of them were annihilated, more than 30,000 were killed, 4o thousand were wounded, and about 10,000 were put into the German prisoner of war camps. Later, in the Battle of the Marne, the Anglo-French army was driven by the Germans, and after paying more than 80,000 casualties, they were transferred to Paris. Then it was pushed by the Germans in Paris, and nearly 120,000 people were killed and wounded.

Combined with other piecemeal fighting, the French have so far lost 30,000 killed, more than 60,000 wounded, and 20,000 remain in prisoner-of-war camps. The British also killed more than 40,000 people and wounded more than 60,000. The Germans lost less than 20,000 killed, another 10,000 wounded.

You must know that the current population of France is less than 460,000, and this guy has lost more than one percent of the population, and he is still young and strong, and he is an elite army. Even Paris was lost, which is really painful.

But at this time, the French were extremely angry, and they all lost it, and Lao Tzu continued to fight, and he must give the hateful German to ooxx and then xxoo. Seeing that France could still hold on, Britain also hurriedly sent a large number of troops to France to participate in the war, and the Anglo-French allied forces held on to Orleans.

However, the Germans firmly controlled the sky, making the British and French forces extremely passive, bombed and strafed at every turn. Britain and France were not without aircraft, but in the Western Front operation in April, the Anglo-French forces had lost almost 8o aircraft, while Germany had only lost more than 7o, which was called "Scarlet April".

In fact, Britain and France had much more fighter jets than Germany, and because of China's leading role or stimulus, the air force of the major powers was much faster than the original time and space, especially after the Sino-Japanese War, and the importance of air power was recognized by all countries. Before the outbreak of World War I, Britain had nearly 1ooo fighters, while France had more, with 156, and Germany had only 26 fighters, and it had to deal with Russia on the Eastern Front, and only 1o6 could be used on the Western Front.

At first glance, it was a battle of 26 against 1o6, but the problem was that the German fighters were much more advanced than their opponents.

Technical cooperation with China, German and Austro-Hungarian fighters were adopted at the very beginning with a fighter with a firing coordinator. The fighters of the Entente did not have this technology, they used propulsion propeller aircraft, with a machine gun mounted in the nose or front of the fuselage, and the propeller in the back did not affect machine gun fire.

For example, the French Falman 2 and the British B2 mostly use a propulsion design, with two seats in the front and rear, the pilot in the back seat, the observer and shooter in the front seat, and are generally equipped with one or two machine guns. However, although the aircraft with a propulsion design is convenient for installing weapons and firing, it is not maneuverable and cannot be used as a flexible pull-in fighter.

Of course, Britain and France are not fools, and seeing that the propulsion type is not powerful, they also quickly drove the pull-in fighter. The propeller of the pull-in aircraft was mounted in front of the nose of the aircraft, which affected the machine gun to fire at the front. How can bullets be fired at the target without a shooting coordinator through the highly rotating propeller without damaging the propeller blades? Technicians from both countries came up with a solution, which was to install a steel wedge-shaped deflector plate behind the blades to block the hitting bullets. For example, the French Solnier L aircraft is like this.

But the partial guide is also very difficult to use, but it is a little stronger than nothing. So the French came up with a new layout, that is, the machine gun was mounted on the upper wing of the double-layer wing of the Newburgh Type 11 aircraft to avoid the propeller and let the bullets shoot directly from the top of the propeller, which really worked. At the same time, Britain used a new type of propulsion aircraft, the De Havilland Bh2

Before the start of the war, Britain and France still had confidence in their own planes, but as soon as the war began, the two countries realized that these planes that they had worked hard to build were all scum in front of the German Albatross B fighters, and they were beaten down like ducks. Even the latest Newburgh 1 Havilland Bh2 was no match for the Albatross B, with the duo even losing 1o to 1.

Planes are really cheap these days, but pilots are hard to find, this is not an infantry on the ground, as long as a gun training for a month can go to the battlefield. Although there are still most of the planes left in the two countries, these are all older planes, and they are even more food deliveries.

After discussing it, the bigwigs of the Entente countries felt that they could not go on like this, but it was not said that there was such a thing as aviation technology, and it was impossible for them to make any breakthroughs in a short period of time on their own, and it didn't matter if it was in peacetime, but now it was wartime, and they couldn't afford to delay it anyway.

China is recognized as the No. 1 aviation technology in the world today, and Germany also carried out technical cooperation with China to have the current Albatross B fighter. Yes, Sino-German military cooperation is carried out in secret, but there are no impermeable walls in this world, the Entente countries are not fools, and so many intelligence personnel are not all fed. Even if the details are not clear, I still know a little bit about the general things.

Since Germany can get some technology from China, then we should also get it, and the big deal is the cost.

The technology that the Entente needed most urgently now was the technology of "letting the bullet go along the propeller", and they were bullied by the albatross. There is no such thing as a shooting coordinator in the first place, and even if China does not sell it, it will not be long before they can drive it themselves. So it's better to take the opportunity to get a handful, and after Wen Desi took it for a while, he agreed.

After a period of negotiations, the Entente countries purchased 6o new pull-in fighters and related technologies from China for 6 tons of gold (worth 8.2 million pounds), as well as a full set of drawings and production authorizations.

What China sells to them is the export fighter that Cheng Fei engaged, the J-type "Swift" fighter, the shape of this fighter is relatively close to the "Fury" NK11 fighter produced by Hawker Aviation in the original time and space 3 years, a single-seat biplane with a composite structure, using a streamlined landing gear tire fairing, and a small air intake under the front fuselage to enhance the motor cooling effect. It has a streamlined body, an elegant posture, and pretty good performance.

The "Swift" fighter has a total length of B meters and a wingspan of 2 meters (upper wing). 6 meters (lower wing), height B1 meter, empty weight 136 kg. A model equipped with a "HHYO type" piston liquid-cooled engine indicates that it is an export type), and a hardwood three-bladed propeller. The maximum altitude reaches 2o km, the cruising degree is 2o km, the practical ceiling is 756 meters, and the range is 6o km. It had 2 7-mm machine guns in the nose and 26 ammunition reserves.

Although this "Swift" fighter is an export model, it is already very conscientious, and its performance is not much worse than the initial model of the J-1. Of course, there is no radio station, and they didn't ask for it anyway.

China has stockpiled more than 4oo "Swift" fighters here, so the first batch of 4oo "Swifts" was delivered. And because the Entente was in a hurry, they paid an extra 2 tons of gold and hired Chinese pilots to transfer these planes directly to Egypt, and then British and French pilots took over. Only to give money, Mr. Wen has always respected the requirements of customers, for the sake of gold, Mr. Wen also specially sent a few large airships to follow, airships loaded with spare pilots and supplies, as well as fuel, as well as 260,000 7 mm machine gun bullets ordered by the Entente by the way, although they are also hurrying to change the production line of bullets, but it will take time.

The flight was very spectacular, 4oo J-type "Swift" fighters departed from Chengdu, arrived in Kunming, and then transferred to India, Iran, Iraq, and Egypt, the whole journey was more than 66 kilometers, and it took two days. Fortunately, in this era, the plane is very light, and the requirements for the airport are not high, or it is really impossible to do it, and many places in the middle do not have official airports.

As soon as the Entente got the planes, they sent a group of top pilots to familiarize themselves with them, and after two weeks of familiarization. The British and French forces put these planes into the battlefield on June 2, and sure enough, the effect was immediate. The "albatrosses" who were coaxing in the previous period could no longer get up after encountering the "swifts" from China.

The British and French air forces played a good game for the first time against the Luftwaffe, and they turned over. As the pilots gradually became familiar with this kind of aircraft, the results got better and better, and later they all played the exchange ratio. After regaining air supremacy, the Entente gradually reversed the rout and completely stabilized in Orleans. Moreover, the partisans in the occupied areas of France were also very active, and they attacked the German logistics supply lines on a large scale, which caused the German army a huge headache and had to spend a lot of troops to guard the supply lines.

In this way, the two sides formed a tug-of-war in the area from Orleans to Le Mans.
