PS: I accidentally fell asleep, embarrassed

............................................................

Hankyung, Air Force Command.

Today, the Air Force is holding a high-level meeting.

“...... I know that some time ago, some comrades complained that we refused to change to new planes. What else do people say, there are jets, why use propellers...... Wait a minute. Well, there are some similar remarks that my ears are calloused. ”

Commander-in-Chief of the PLA Air Force, Marshal of the Air Force of the Republic Meng Shu said with a smile. This marshal has the most powerful air power on the planet, and has nearly 10,000 fighters of various types and more than 2,000 airships of all sizes under his command. As long as he gives the order, he can bomb a medium-sized country back to the Stone Age in one day, which is definitely not an exaggeration, but a statement.

"Again, I reiterate that we didn't have a full jet change for two reasons. First, it is a war that does not affect the West. If you think about it, if we were too strong, they probably wouldn't be able to fight. If this is the case, we will have to exert more effort to establish a new world order. Of course, some comrades may think that China's current strength is already capable of encompassing the whole world, and that it can single-handedly take on all the great powers and win the battle......" Meng Shu laughed.

"Hahahaha......" The conference room burst into laughter.

Meng Shu knocked on the table and continued: "I have to admit that this idea is not cranky, it is well-founded. According to our current technical reserves, it is not impossible to take on all the great powers and win them in battle. As a matter of fact, the General Staff Department has made several similar deductions using China's most advanced super-polar computer, and the result is that China has finally won......"

"Huh, ......" Everyone below suddenly sounded a gasping sound. The participants are all high-ranking officers of the Air Force, and although they also know that China has a lot of black technology, and a lot of weapons that are used by tyrants to bomb the sky, they can only know the part that is related to them, and they are not clear about the overall situation. Therefore, although they also believe that China is now the strongest country on the planet, it is not a problem to fight any country. But to be honest, I'm not crazy enough to think that I can beat the whole world. Those who said that kind of thing were all middle- and low-level young officers.

As a result, now Meng Shu has actually released a big satellite, claiming that China can already take on the whole world. They couldn't help but gasp. Of course, it is impossible for Mr. Meng to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, he is only in his fifties this year, and he is not senile dementia, and he didn't drink yesterday.

"As for why we can single-handedly compete with the whole world, I can't go into too much detail about the specifics, because this involves some secrets, and you all know the secrecy system...... Anyway, there were several deductions, and the result was that we won, but the price was still very high. Meng Shu smiled and continued: "Directly single-handing the whole world, it's not that we can't win, but the cost is too great, which will have a great impact on our future development, so we have to change the way." The story of the snipe and the clam competing and the fisherman profiting must all be known to you, we are just going to be this fisherman. To make the sandpiper clam fight, the fisherman must not act too threatening, at least not too threatening, otherwise the sandpiper will not only not fight, but may even unite. ”

The words were so obvious, and everyone was not stupid, how could they not understand, so they all laughed knowingly.

Meng Shu continued: "Of course, this is only one of the reasons, the second important factor is the cost. Jets are a new model that outperforms piston planes in every way, and of course the price is far superior to piston planes. Take the J-7 Big Red Eagle as an example, it is the most expensive of our current propeller fighters, the unit price of each is 65,000 yuan, but compared to jets, it is really cheap. For example, the price of the J-10 Golden Eagle (MiG-25 Magic Modification), which is now the only batch installed, is five times that of the Big Red Eagle, and the price of the latest J-12 Warhawk is thirteen times that of the Big Red Eagle!"

"Our military spending is limited, especially in peacetime, and our main funds should be invested in national construction and improving people's living standards. If it is a piston aircraft, with our current national strength to equip thousands of aircraft, tens of thousands is not a problem at all, but if it is replaced by a jet, this number can guarantee one-tenth of it. But our land is so vast that from the Arctic Ocean in the north, to the South Pacific in the south, from the Eastern Pacific in the east, to Africa in the west, that we can see the sun on our territory for 16 hours a day, so we need a sufficient number of aircraft to defend our airspace. This alone has determined that it was not possible for us to switch to jets all before because it was too expensive. ”

Lieutenant General Jin Hai said: "Boss, this is the reason why we are now equipped with turbo planes, which are cheaper than piston planes......

Meng Shu nodded: "Yes, the biggest advantage of turbo aircraft is that it is cheap, and it also has enough performance advantages in the face of piston aircraft, which is also an important reason why we chose this model as a transition." For a big country like ours, weapons are not as advanced as possible, and cost performance is the most important consideration. In previous years, our imaginary enemies were equipped with piston planes, and the use of jets was too powerful and too cost-effective......"

The turbo aircraft is the cheapest aircraft, mainly because the turbo engine is too cheap, and the piston type is cheap, which only refers to the case of low power, and the piston type with 2000 horsepower is still not cheap, because its structure is very complex. Turbo engines, on the other hand, have fewer moving parts than piston engines, so they have a very high service life. The average jet engine has a thousand hours is very good, and the piston type with two thousand horsepower has no more life, but the turbo engine is completely different, if there are no three or five thousand hours, you are embarrassed to say hello when you go out.

Meng Shu then said with a smile: "In addition, there is a last reason, which is to create a kind of misleading and let other powers continue to invest more manpower and material resources in the dead end of piston engines. This is deliberately digging a pit for them to jump, wasting the opponent's financial resources and time, and it is also one of the strategies of the state. Remember, the struggle between nations is everywhere and everywhere, and its form is not limited to war, but of course it is also seen as war without gunpowder. ”

There are too many examples of this kind of thing, there are "Zheng Guo tired Qin" in the distance, and "Star Wars" in the close. It's just that "Zheng Guo's strategy of exhausting Qin" is out of play, because the difference between the national strength of South Korea and Qin is too great, so unless the character is bursting, it is easy to leak. "Star Wars" is different, the United States is stronger than the Soviet Union, so it cripples the woolly bear.

Therefore, this kind of means ultimately depends on national strength, and now that China's national strength is already the first in the world, it is natural to play how it wants. Wait until all the opponents are almost abolished, and then roll up your sleeves and go straight to the bar, this is the king. The kind of person who wants to go to war directly at every turn is a typical middle two, and its representative is the group of Showa staff officers in the original time and space. Since ancient times, China has attached great importance to this kind of "unconventional warfare," and the so-called "those who are good at fighting have no outstanding merits" and "soldiers who surrender without fighting" are the embodiment of this kind of thinking.

"Mr. Meng, when you say this today, do you mean that we are going to change our clothes now. A general named Pang Jiugui asked.

Meng Shu nodded: "That's right, Xiao Pang." You're right, it's time for a major rearmament! All the main fighters and reconnaissance planes will be replaced by jet planes, and the same will be true for most bombers and attack planes. Of course, it is not only our air force that needs to be replaced with new aircraft, but also the army and navy aviation must be replaced. ”

Pang Jiugui asked again: "Boss, didn't you just say that military spending is limited? Why do you have money to change it now?"

A lieutenant general next to him smiled and said, "Hey, fat drunkard, did you kid drink high today? Don't you know that the wronged bosses of Europe have come to buy our old planes." I sold my Great Red Eagle and Peregrine Falcon to them. A big red eagle is 300,000 yuan, and a peregrine falcon is 220,000 yuan, is this business not done?"

Pang Jiugui was nicknamed "Fat Drunkard" because of his name, and he was not fat before, but after he was promoted to general, his body size inflated like blowing up a balloon, and now he can't even get into a fighter, even if he wants to fly, he can only fly a bomber. I couldn't tell that this was an ace pilot in World War I, so he always thought that someone else had called him fat. Well, he was joined by the German Goering.

The flesh on his face was shaking at that price, and he said after a while: ", Di Wu, you kid is too dark! The price of a jet is sold with an old propeller plane......"

"Hehe, if we don't have these wronged leaders, how can we fully change our clothes?" Di Wu said with a smug smile. "Besides, this price is very fair, they are in a hurry to get the spot, or the hot engine in service, this price is not expensive at all! Anyway, they have money, and people themselves are not too expensive, what are you anxious about?"

"Can I not be in a hurry? Why did this kind of good business leak me?"

"No, it's the Germans over there who came to buy ......," Meng Shu said with a smile.

In fact, there is only one reason why Kaizi sent money, because the current top powers are about to crawl out of the deep pit of "super pistons". According to the latest information, Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union and Germany have all started the research of jets, and Germany has made the fastest progress, and their jets have begun to fly test.

Although their jets are still very primitive, at least they have found the right path, so if China is to continue to maintain its advantage, it must also undergo a complete rearmament. This kind of thing happened within Mr. Wen's expectations, because the aviation technology of the original plane was more developed than the original time and space, and it went faster.

They have been in the pit of the "Super Piston" for a long time, and naturally they found that Nima, this seems to be a pit. If you can't go deeper, then try a different way, and most importantly, the theory of jets has been around for a long time, and it's not a secret to these powers. How can it be said that people are also industrial countries, big hooligans, and not fools, it is good to be able to pit for a while, do you still want to pit others for a lifetime?

....................................................................................

The next day, the Shanghai Naval Port, the aircraft carrier Shanghai.

The Shanghai aircraft carrier is the latest aircraft carrier in service with the Chinese Navy, which only completed sea trials in June this year, and officially entered the navy in August when World War II broke out.

It is the lead ship of the Shanghai-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, built by Shanghai Jiangnan Heavy Industry, and the aircraft carriers of the following classes of the "Han Dynasty class" are all named after the provincial-level administrative units where the first ship was built.

The Chinese Navy's first ship, the Yu Dynasty, was decommissioned a decade ago and is now parked in Guangzhou, where it has been converted into a warship museum. The four Xia Dynasty-class ships with a standard displacement of 25,000 tons were also converted into training ships and anti-submarine ships five years ago, and no longer undertake front-line combat missions.

At present, the Chinese Navy has a total of 16 first-line aircraft carriers in active service, including six Han Dynasty-class (Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties) with a standard displacement of 33,200 tons, four Liaoning-class (Liaoning, Shanxi, Hebei, and Anhui) with a standard displacement of 45,000 tons, four Shandong-class aircraft (Shandong, Boni, Annan, and Guangxi) with a standard displacement of 40,000 tons, and two Shanghai-class (Shanghai and Qinghai) with a standard displacement of 40,000 tons.

The ten Han Dynasty and Liaoning-class aircraft carriers are conventionally powered aircraft carriers, and they are nuclear-powered aircraft carriers starting from the Shandong class. The Shanghai-class aircraft carrier is China's, and currently the world's largest aircraft carrier. The standard displacement is 70,000 tons, and the full load displacement is 88,000 tons. It is expected to build four ships, in addition to the Shanghai and Qinghai, which are already in service, the Xinjiang and Andong are being outfitted and are expected to be put into active service in the second half of next year. And its subsequent follow-up model has also been designed, which is a 100,000-ton supercarrier - Guangdong-class.

The size of the Shanghai class is between the Forrest class and the enterprise class (second generation) in the original time and space, but because of the use of many advanced technologies of later generations, such as thermoelectric conversion nuclear power system, electromagnetic catapult system, etc., as well as a variety of design concepts of later generations, its performance is still better than that of the enterprise class that is one size larger than it.

At this time, the Shanghai was replenishing the aircraft, well, to be precise, replacing the aircraft. Its original configuration of the J-8 "Snake Catcher" (Magic Sea Fang) and Qiang-5 "Primordial Owl" attack aircraft (Magic A-1) and other major carrier-based aircraft have now all been emptied from the hangar, and now the two heavy tower cranes in the port are lifting large boxes one by one and placing them near its elevators. Judging from the size and shape of these boxes, they must be new carrier-based aircraft, but there are packaging boxes, and the true face of Lushan inside cannot be seen.

A large group of military fans stood outside the cordon, discussing with great interest.

"What kind of plane do you say this is, it looks bigger than a snake catcher or an owl?"

"Newer aircraft ......, of course"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"

"It's a pity that the doors of the hangar are closed, and you can't see ...... inside"

"It's okay, it won't be long before the ...... announced"

Some military fans also said worriedly: "These planes look so big, the number of carrier-based planes will be reduced." Aircraft carriers rely on airplanes, and if the number of planes is insufficient, won't the combat effectiveness decrease?"

Naturally, there were also wall climbers and crouching grass parties, but these guys were soon discovered by military animals such as guards and military cats and military dogs, and then the film and transcripts were confiscated, and people were also brought in for tea. As for whether they can come out, or when they will come out, it depends on the results of the investigation. If he is a foreign insider spy, then he will not think of it in his life, either to go to the scientific research department as a "volunteer", or to die through labor.

Naturally, these controversies will not affect the officers and men on the aircraft carrier, and changing planes is not only a technical job, but also a hard work, and now the deck and hangar are busy in the dark. The ground crew used a trailer to tow the boxes with wheels to the elevator, and then sent them to the hangar one by one to unpack and inspect, while the pilots assisted by the side.
