………………………………………………………………
October 31, Republic 2772 (1931), Hanjing.
Today is the weekend, and when he is not too busy during this time, Wen Desi rarely gives himself a vacation to play with his children at home.
In the garden of the presidential palace, he played with his youngest children. I saw that Mr. Wen, who was admired by everyone, was wearing a cow suit and a horned helmet, lying on the ground pretending to be a cow, and a little Lori was riding on his back and giggled excitedly: "Daddy Niuniu, Daddy Niuniu, go quickly!"
A bunch of Zhengtai Lori was screaming and jumping excitedly next to her.
"Dad, I'm going to ride a cow too......"
"I want it too, Sister Sissi will ride it, it's my ......"
"Okay, come one by one, ride alone for five minutes......" Wen Desi said with a smile.
After a quick turn, Wen Desi finished dressing up the cow, where he rubbed his waist with a wry smile. Wen Desi had just taken off the cow suit, and little Lori ran over with a zebra suit, and said with a sweet smile: "Dad, I want to ride a zebra......
"............" Wen Desi was embarrassed, so he had to say: "Dad is tired, he can only ride one kind of ...... at a time" He thought that there were more than a dozen sets of dinosaurs and white bears at home, and he secretly regretted buying these cartoon uniforms.
Fortunately, at this time, someone came to relieve the siege, and his intercom rang.
Gu Xiaofei's voice sounded: "Mr. Wen, Major Jin Hai, director of the Aviation Education Committee, is here......"
"Okay, I'll come over right away......" Wen Tokuji calmed down the children and handed them to Rin Tosaka, who was on duty to watch the children.
Meeting room.
Jin Hai was already sitting inside waiting, and as soon as he saw Mr. Wen coming in, he hurriedly stood up and gave a military salute. "Jin Hai, director of the Pilot Education Bureau, report to Mr. Wen!"
"Okay, sit down and talk. This is not a formal occasion, it's all your own family, don't be polite......" Wen Deji waved his hand and asked Jin Hai to sit down. Since marrying Jin Lin, Jin Hai has been his brother-in-law.
His brother-in-law is the number one ace of the Chinese Air Force, and his current record is to shoot down 118 planes alone, 65 planes damaged alone, and 172 planes shot down together. According to the PLA's regulations on calculating combat achievements, the so-called "coordinated shooting down" means that several pilots work together, and the photoguns all have hit records, so it is not easy to confirm whose head is counted, so the battle results are evenly divided according to the heads who participated in the attack and have hit records.
Because of the different emphasis of tactics, China's air combat tactics all pay attention to collective operations, emphasizing overall coordination and team cooperation, and never encourage lone heroic behavior, so many of the results of Chinese pilots are coordinated shootdown, and almost all ace results are coordinated shootdowns than solo shootdowns. This is completely different from the situation in other countries.
Of course, this is only to share the contribution points and bonuses of the battle, and the record mark on the fighter is still one star per person. However, this kind of star is a hollow five-pointed star, and it is a solid five-pointed star ★ that is shot down alone, and if it is damaged, it also has a record mark, which is a hollow triangle △. Although this is the rule, under normal circumstances, Chinese pilots do not paint the damage mark on their planes, because they feel that it is too low and too humiliating. A super ace like Jin Hai doesn't even want to paint a hollow five-pointed star.
However, in order to take care of those guys whose character is too inferior, there is also an advanced conversion rule, three hollow triangles can be exchanged for a hollow pentagram, and three hollow pentagrams can be exchanged for a solid pentagram. It's just that except for the kind of bad luck that is too bad and unlucky, there are relatively few pilots who are willing to do this, after all, the circle of pilots is so big, those are big cows, those are small cows, and everyone knows it in their hearts.
Kim Hae is now the director of the Pilot Education Bureau, an agency under the leadership of the Ministry of National Defense, which is in charge of pilot training throughout the armed forces, as well as the preparation and day-to-day management of pilot academies and aviation clubs in various localities.
The two exchanged a few words, and Wen Desi asked casually, "You came to me today, is there something wrong?"
"Uh, it's nothing?" Jin Hai blushed and said with some hesitation: "Brother-in-law, I want to go to the front-line troops......"
Oh, it turned out to be here to fight the autumn wind. Wen Deji smiled: "Teaching rookies is boring, isn't it......"
"Isn't it...... This is all good, teaching rookies can always fly in the sky. Now in the office every day, I almost forget how to fly a plane......" Jin Hai suddenly cried out bitterly. It's a man who can't sit still.
Wen Desi nodded noncommittally and said, "Then you can tell me about the current situation of your unit first......
"Oh, now there are 28 colleges and universities that train pilots, 49 secondary schools, 3,450 aviation clubs, and 145 pilot training schools run by the private sector, which can train more than 18,000 qualified airship pilots and more than 44,000 qualified aircraft pilots every year, of which about 6,500 can fly fighter jets, and the rest can fly bombers, transport plane......s, and so on."
"That's a good result, you see, aren't you doing a good job?"
“…… I, I'm really not fit to do this......" Jin Hai wanted to cry. I really don't want to do this teaching job......
Wen Desi thought about it, and also felt that this guy was not doing this business, so he said: "Okay, since you want to go to the front line, go ahead, now you have two choices." A new air force military district is going to be formed over there in the western Indian Ocean, and if you go, you will be the commander of the military district over there. There is also the 12th Air Force Aviation Division on the Anxi side, if you go, you will go over and become the division commander. Which one do you choose?"
"Then I'll go to Anthy, brother-in-law. I'm afraid of the heat, and I don't like to smell the sea......" Jin Hai said after thinking about it.
"You have a sea in your name, and you don't like the sea yet?" Wen Deji felt that this reason was too powerful.
Jin Hai said very seriously: "Yes, probably because of this, I don't like to smell the smell of the sea since I was a child." I didn't go to HNA because of this......"
"It turned out that it was because of this ......," Wende was embarrassed. He now finally understands why Jin Hai didn't go to HNA.
The two chatted for a while, talking about the new aircraft that are now being installed. Jin Hai asked with some puzzlement: "Brother-in-law, why don't we mass produce jet planes in full production now? Now all the retrofit is turboprop aircraft." This turboprop can't fly a jet at all, I think our jet is very mature, I've flown 5 kinds of test planes, and I feel good......"
Wen Desi thought for a while and said: "Because it's not yet time, the jet engine is not mature enough, the previous few years were turbojet, and now we are engaged in more advanced turbofan, but the cost has not been reduced, and the service life and performance have not met the requirements...... And most importantly, I'm digging a hole for foreign countries......"
"Dig a pit?"
"That's right, jets are a brand new engine, and once we have a lot of them, they can be inspired by it. Although they are also engaged in jet research, but because they have no bottom in their hearts, it is just some private research by colleges or individuals, and the government and the military do not pay attention to it, so the progress is slow, but if they see that we have a large amount of equipment, they will definitely pay attention to it, so as to increase investment in jet engine research, with the strength of these industrial countries, if they start to exert their strength now, although they can't catch up with us, but it will definitely not be such a small fight now, which is not good......"
Wen Deji laughed: "I'm going to let them play on piston engines for a few more years, and when they are almost at the limit, we will fully produce and change their equipment, and this is also too late." And when we have the time, we can also use jets with more mature designs......"
"Oh, I see. Brother-in-law, you are so insidious! This time, the foreigner will be miserable......" Jin Hai's tone was full of admiration and admiration. This Nima is too dark!
That's right, the new aircraft that China has replaced in recent years are all turboprop aircraft. From the J-7 "Big Red Eagle" (big milk bottle in the air), the J-8 "Snake Catcher", the J-9 "Peregrine Falcon", the H-7 "Vulture" heavy bomber, the H-8 "Whalehead Stork" medium bomber, etc., are all turboprop aircraft.
Military fans know that in the technology tree of jet engines, the most basic is the turbojet engine, and then it is divided into two lines: turboprop engine and turboshaft engine, and then from turboprop engine to turbofan engine, and then extended to propeller fan engine. The turbojet engine is the simplest, the turbofan engine is relatively backward, and now China's turbojet engine is very mature, but Wen Desi is not very optimistic. He was ready to put the turbofan engine in one step.
Turboprop aircraft are certainly inferior to turbojet aircraft in terms of performance such as flight speed, but turboprop aircraft have one of the biggest advantages - cheaper. At 2,000 horsepower, the turboprop engine is actually cheaper than the piston engine, although it is more advanced than the piston type. Because compared with the piston type, the structure of the turboprop is simpler, and the moving parts of the turboprop engine are constantly rotating at a constant speed and the working state is stable, while the cylinder of the piston engine needs to continue to reciprocate, and the mechanical wear is more serious.
Therefore, whether it is the cost of construction, service life, maintenance or failure rate, the turboprop has completely exploded the piston. The high-power piston engine is almost useless after five or six hundred hours, while the turboprop engine is overhauled for two or three thousand hours, and I am embarrassed to say hello when I go out.
Of course, another point is that Mr. Wen is preparing to bring people into the ditch again. The aviation technology of the original plane has developed quite rapidly, at least about ten years beyond the original space-time. After all, people are not stupid, seeing that Mr. Wen uses the plane so well, where will there be a reason not to learn the same, the behavior of "copycat" is human instinct.
At present, the major powers are hollowing out their minds to use higher-power piston engines, and China, as a leader in aviation, has actually developed higher-power piston engines. While the powers were still working on the 1,500 kilowatt class, China's latest model of the "HHY-08" piston liquid-cooled engine had reached 2,400 kilowatts (3,218 horsepower) each. The smaller "HHQ-09" piston air-cooled engine also produced 2,200 kW (2,950 hp) each.
But once the piston engine exceeds 2,000 hp, its construction complexity and manufacturing costs begin to climb upward. Moreover, the power critical point of the piston engine is very low, once it reaches about 3800 horsepower, it will also reach the innate limit of the structure, and adding it to it is completely worth the loss.
Anyway, as long as you don't take it apart, the appearance of the turbofan plane looks no significantly different from the piston plane, and there is no sign of any difference in flying, so the powers continue to think that the Chinese plane still uses the same electric fan as them.
Wen Desi plans to let the Western powers continue to drill in this pit, anyway, they are having so much fun now, then it would be better to play for a few more years. And China can also take advantage of this time to perfect its turbofan engine, and when they are almost at the critical point, when they turn their heads and go to study jets, China's turbofan engines are almost mature, and Mr. Wen will let China mass-produce mature versions of turbofan aircraft.
How good it is, saving money and hassle. Anyway, it has not been possible to fight a world war in recent years, and a small war turboprop aircraft will be enough to deal with. Turboprop aircraft are also jet types, and there is still no problem in hitting the piston machine of the lower generation.

Not long after Jin Hai left, Wen Deji received a piece of information from Germany.
"Mr. Wen, the latest information. The National Socialist Workers' Party of Germany won the election, and Hitler became Chancellor of the Second German Reich......" Foreign Minister Kafu called.
"Okay, I see, prepare a gift of mine, and ask the ambassador to Germany to pass it on to ......," Wen Desi hung up the phone and instructed the secretariat to draft a congratulatory message.
"Hehehe, the mustache has finally come on stage, and now the main actors of the next world war are almost all on the stage......" Wen Deji said with a smile.
Churchill, who was ousted by two heavy defeats in Jutland and Corsica, also made a low-key comeback last year. Qiu Fatzi himself said, "The people are forgetful", this point is not allowed to be put aside for the time being, anyway, after more than ten years of hibernation, he is now out of the mountain again, in the Conservative Baldwin cabinet last year as the colonial minister. To be honest, if you change people, there will be such a big leak during your tenure, and you will basically have nothing to do in this life. Even if the people can't remember it, their political enemies won't forget it.
But who made the fat man reincarnate well, he was born in Blenheim Palace, and he grew up there, his grandfather was the Duke of Marlborough, his uncle was also the Duke of Marlborough, and his father was the former Chancellor of the Exchequer. The second generation of power and the second generation of Guigui are just so tricky! Even if there was a big leak before, it can still be washed in vain.
