Chapter 319 Tu-4 Bomber 1
In 2024, Vladivostok, an abandoned air base
"Victor, you have to get these planes out as soon as possible, because there are more and more foreign spies nearby because of the large number of bombers that have come to this base recently." Standing in a huge cave storehouse, Tasha said in a somewhat anxious tone, this was originally an ordinary transaction with the aviation complex, but I didn't expect that Mikoyan's gang actually swaggered to fly the planes to this base in formation, a huge formation of a hundred aircraft.
Even a small sports aircraft is scary enough, but it is a Tu-4 bomber, a hundred Tu-4 bombers that have been renovated and upgraded in power, which has made the combat readiness level of Bald Eagle and Japan and South Korea rise, especially Japan, you must know that the combat radius of the Tu-4 is not as good as that of the MiG-2 bomber, but the combat radius of the partial birth is enough to threaten Japan and South Korea.
If the Japanese knew that Mikoyan had increased the combat radius of this thing to more than 4,000 kilometers, it would be even more uneasy, so in the past few days, there have been people pressuring Moscow to explain its intentions, and after being ignored by the Emperor, these countries are like crazy looking for the bomber group hidden by the woolly bear, according to the estimates of the hairy bear intelligence service, the number of foreign spies near Vladivostok has increased tenfold during this time.
Not only spies, but also operatives, the most of them here are actually operators from Japan, they hold Chinese passports, and drive directly from the land port, not too convenient, it is estimated that there is also their father's meaning here, Tasha is really worried that this base will be attacked.
"Why is this hangar so big?" Wang Yue's focus is on this unusually old hangar, is this Nima a hangar? This has hollowed out a whole mountain, okay? It's hard to imagine anyone doing this, but someone actually did it, and did it, which is much greater than all those high-rise buildings or anything.
"This is the hangar used to deploy the Tu-95 bombers, and it also serves as a maintenance base, and in the most intense years of the Cold War, there were fifty Tu-95 bombers deployed here, and it was a force that was enough to make the whole world tremble." Tasha had a rare and strange expression, but her tone couldn't help but be full of pride.
"This is a $30 million bomber?" Wang Yue looked at the newly renovated Tu-4 bomber in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a burst of pain, the seventy-year-old grandfather, Tasha actually charged himself 30 million US dollars, and 100 bombers, spending a full 3 billion US dollars.
The bombing of the Japanese mainland by the Guofu Air Force brought a lot of stimulation to the Eighth Route Army, and Brigade Commander Chen found Wang Yue and proposed to buy a bomber, which was enough to bomb the Japanese mainland, but the B25 thing Wang Yue had so many things in his hands, and in order to urgently aid the national government, it was emptied, where was it, so Wang Yue began to investigate the bombers that he could get, which made him find a very strange phenomenon, that is, although the B29 bomber was too advanced, he couldn't bring it over, It can be used as a copy of the B29, but the Tu-4 bomber can be brought over.
I think it was because when the woolly bear imitated it, some things that he couldn't figure out were simplified, so that the technical level of the entire bomber fell back to the level of early 1941, well, well, maybe it hadn't reached the level of 1941, otherwise, Mikoyan wouldn't have asked him for 30 million dollars after making a fuss.
"Victor, this is a strategic bomber with a combat radius of 4,200 kilometers, and the minimum bomb load is a four-ton earth-washing artifact, and there are people who are willing to pay for it for 30 million dollars." Tasha rolled her eyes, Mikoyan helped you renovate a hundred fighters under the condition of tight manpower, and you are still grinding and chirping, it is really too shameless, not to mention that she also personally went into battle to scold the Tupolev Design Bureau for this matter, so that the top management of the aviation complex turned their faces.
Mikoyan also regretted it a little during this time, but the Nima government order was still too busy, but the money was not good, especially the exchange rate was still unstable, the profit was extremely low, and the little money earned was discounted by inflation, and there was nothing left, but in retrospect, they found that their old customers actually had a tendency to be close to Lolicon, which was worth it?
So, in the refurbishment of the Tu-4 bomber is really hard work, the weight should be reduced, the strengthening should be strengthened, the redesign will be redesigned, almost all the new technologies that can be used in 1941 have been used, the Tu-4 has been criticized for not being as good as the B-29, but now the Tu-4 is not worthy of the existence of the B29, if Wang Yue continues to provide his own modifications, they all want to change this thing into a bomb-carrying six-ton combat radius of 5,000 kilometers.
Of course, Tasha must have turned a blind eye to these.
"What are you doing when you buy it back, and let Sam II be a target? Or put it on the ground and wait for a self-detonating drone? Wang Yue smiled disdainfully, the only ones who can use this thing are those countries, but there is no one who can fight, okay? Not to mention the little brothers, Mao Xiong himself is not a sparse fight, a military power, was actually forced into a corner by a few small drones, just kidding.
In the final analysis, there is still no sharpness from 20 years ago, after all, the emperor is also old, and he can look forward and backward, he can obviously fight a war of annihilation, but he prefers to play a war of attrition, don't you know that there are many other battlefields besides the war, and the situation can be maintained on the battlefield, but it does not mean that it can also be in other aspects, the most prominent is finance and public opinion, and the defeat can be said to be a mess.
"Victor, don't say that, a bomber of this class never acted alone, it wasn't a fighter, uh, well, you did that, but that's just an exception." Tasha said angrily, this guy, if he hadn't asked for the technology of 1941, Mikoyan would definitely be able to change this thing into a penetration bomber, okay?
As for Tasha's mention of using the Tu-4 bomber as a fighter is also a helpless move, in the years when the number of anti-aircraft missiles was not enough, and the height of the fighter was not enough, we did use the modified Tu-4 bomber to fight high-altitude reconnaissance planes, and we also achieved results, let's say, do you dare to believe this kind of thing?
"Are the spare parts and consumables ready?" Wang Yue asked, although the P-39 fighter and B-25 bomber bought before also have a lot of spare parts and consumables, but they are indeed a little insufficient, forcing the National Air Force and the Eighth Route Army to try to solve some parts by themselves.
