Chapter 550: Full Costume Change (I)


s: I accidentally fell asleep, embarrassing Hanking, Air Force Headquarters.

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

"I know that some time ago, some comrades have been complaining that we are unwilling to buy new aircraft.

Some people also said, why do we need propellers when we already have jets?

Well, there are some similar remarks that my ears are hearing.

It sounds cocooned.”

Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, Marshal of the Republic Air Force, Meng Shu said with a smile.

Comrade Marshal controls the most powerful air force on earth, with nearly 10,000 fighter planes of various types and more than 2,000 large and small airships under his command.

As long as he gives an order, he can blow a medium-sized country back to the Stone Age in one day.

This is definitely not an exaggeration, but a statement.

"I reiterate that we did not completely switch to jets before for two reasons.

First, it does not affect the war in the West.

Think about it, if we are too powerful, they may not be able to fight.

If so, We have to spend more effort to establish a new world order.

Of course, some comrades may think that China’s current strength can conquer the whole world, and it can challenge all powers and defeat them."

Meng Shu laughed.

"Hahahaha" a burst of laughter suddenly erupted in the conference room.

Meng Shu knocked on the table and continued: "I have to admit that this idea is not a random thought, it is well-founded.

With our current technical reserves, it is not impossible to challenge all the great powers and win them.

In fact, the General Staff used our country’s most advanced supercomputer to conduct several similar deductions, and the result was that our country finally won.”

"Huh!"

There was a gasp from everyone below.

The participants are all senior officers of the Air Force.

Although they also know that China has a lot of black technology and many cool and explosive weapons, they can only know the part that is relevant to them, and they are not clear about the overall situation.

Therefore, although they also believe that China is now the strongest country on earth, it will not be a problem to defeat any country.

But to be honest, I'm not crazy enough to think that I can beat the whole world.

Those who said that were all young and middle-level officers.

As a result, Meng Shu actually released a satellite, claiming that China could challenge the whole world alone.

This made them all gasp.

As Boss Meng, of course, it is impossible for him to talk nonsense on this kind of thing.

He is only in his fifties this year and has not yet suffered from Alzheimer's disease.

He did not drink yesterday.

"As for why we can challenge the whole world alone, I can't go into too much detail, because it involves some secrets, and you all know the confidentiality system.

Anyway, there have been several deductions, and the result is that we win, but the price is still very high.

Big one."

Meng Shu smiled and continued: "It's not that you can't win if you challenge the whole world, but the price is too high.

It will have a great impact on our future development, so we have to change the way.

You all know the story of the fisherman profiting from the conflict between the snipe and the clam.

You can’t act too threatening, at least you can’t look too threatening, otherwise the snipe and clam will not only be unable to fight, they may even unite.”

The words were said so clearly, and everyone was not stupid, so 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 issue.

The jet is a brand-new model, and its performance in all aspects is superior to that of the piston aircraft.

Of course, the price is also far higher.

Far superior to piston aircraft, take the J-7 Red Eagle, which is currently in service.

The most expensive among the propeller fighters, the unit price is 65,000 yuan, but compared with jets, it is really cheap.

For example, the price of the J-10 Golden Eagle MiG-25 Magic Modified Version, which is the only one we have installed in batches.

It is five times that of the Big Red Eagle, and the price of the latest J-12 Warhawk is even thirteen times that of the Big Red Eagle.”

"Our military spending is limited, especially in peacetime.

Our main funds must be invested in national construction and improving people's living standards.

If it is a piston aircraft, with our current national strength, it is not a problem to equip thousands or tens of thousands of them. , but if we switch to jets, it would be good to guarantee one-tenth of this number.

But our land area is small.

It is so vast, starting from the Arctic Ocean in the north, the South Pacific in the south, the Eastern Pacific in the east, and Africa in the west.

The sun can be seen from our territory for 16 hours a day, so we need a sufficient number of aircraft to protect our airspace. .

This alone made it impossible for us to replace all jets in the past because it was too expensive.”

Lieutenant General Jin Hai said: "Boss, this is the reason why we are equipped with turboprop aircraft now.

This thing is cheaper than piston aircraft."

Meng Shu nodded: "Yes, the biggest advantage of turboprop aircraft is that they are cheap, and they also have sufficient performance advantages against piston aircraft.

This is also an important reason why we chose this type of aircraft as a transition.

For a big country like ours In terms of weapons, the more advanced the better, cost-effectiveness is the most important consideration.

In the past few years, our imaginary enemies were equipped with piston aircraft, and the use of jets was too powerful and the cost-effectiveness was too low. " Turboprop aircraft are the cheapest aircraft.

This is mainly because turboprop engines are so cheap.

When piston engines are said to be cheap, they only mean low power.

A piston engine with 2,000 horsepower is still not cheap because of its The structure is very complex.

The turboprop engine has fewer moving parts than the piston engine, so its service life is very long.

Generally speaking, a jet engine is very good if it has a thousand hours.

A piston engine with a power of two thousand horsepower will not have much longer life.

But a turboprop engine is completely different.

If it does not have three to five thousand hours, it will not last long.

I'm embarrassed to say hello to people.

Meng Shu then smiled and said: "In addition, there is the last reason, which is to create a mislead, allowing other powers to continue to invest more manpower and material resources on the dead end of piston engines.

This is to deliberately dig holes for them to jump.

Wasting the opponent's financial resources and time is also one of the strategies of the country.

Remember, battles between countries are everywhere and use all means.

Their forms are not limited to wars.

Of course, this is also regarded as a war without gunpowder. ” There are too many examples of this kind of thing, such as "Zheng Guo tired Qin" from far away, and "Star Wars" from recent times.

It's just that the "Zheng Guo's plan to tire Qin Guo" failed, because the national power gap between South Korea and Qin is so huge, so unless the character is outstanding, it is easy for things to go wrong.

"Star Wars" is different.

The United States' national power is better than the Soviet Union, so it crippled the stuffed bear.

Therefore, this method ultimately depends on national strength, and now that China's national strength is already the first in the world, it can naturally do whatever it wants.

Waiting until all the opponents' play is almost useless, and then rolling up your sleeves and directly fighting, this is the kingly way.

The kind who are ready to go to war at every turn is a typical Chuuni, and their representative is the group of Showa staff from the original time and space.

China has attached great importance to this kind of "unconventional warfare" since ancient times.

The so-called "those who are good at fighting have no great achievements" and "the troops who conquer the enemy without fighting" are the embodiment of this thought.

"Mr.

Meng, when you say this today, does it mean that we are going to completely change our clothes now."

A general named Pang Jiugui asked.

Meng Shu nodded: "That's right, Xiao Pang.

You are right, now is the time for a major upgrade.

All main fighters and reconnaissance aircraft will be replaced by jets, as will most bombers and attack aircraft.

Of course, not only It is our Air Force that needs to replace its aircraft, and so does China’s Air Force.”

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 said with a smile: "Hey, fat drunkard, are you drunk today?

Don't you know that European gangsters are coming to buy our old aircraft?

I sold my Big Red Eagle and Peregrine Falcon to them. .

A big red eagle costs 300,000 yuan, and a peregrine falcon costs 220,000 yuan.

This business is not going to work.”

Pang Jiugui was nicknamed "Fat Drunkard" because of his name.

He was not too fat before, but after he was promoted to general, his body size expanded like a balloon.

Now he can't even fit into a fighter jet, even if he wants to fly.

We can only fly bombers.

He couldn't tell that this was an ace pilot from World War I, so he always thought that others called him fat.

Well, he had the same problem as the German Goering.

The price on his face made the flesh on his face tremble, and he said after a while: "Damn it, Di Wu, you are too stupid.

You are selling an old propeller plane for the price of a jet."

"Haha, if we didn't have these enemies, how could we completely change our clothes?"

Di Wu said with a proud smile.

"Besides, the price is very reasonable.

They are in a hurry to get ready-made heat engines, which are still in service.

The price is not expensive at all.

They have plenty of money anyway, and they don't think it's expensive.

Why are you so anxious?"

"Can I not be in a hurry?

Why did I miss such a good business?"

"It can't be missed, the Germans over there are buying it," Meng Shu said with a smile.

In fact, there is only one reason why Kaizi sent money, because now several top powers have almost climbed out of the "Super Piston" pit.

According to the latest information obtained, Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union and Germany have all started research on jets.

Germany has made the fastest progress, and their jets have already begun test flights.

Although their jets are still very primitive, it at least shows that they have found the right path.

Therefore, if China wants to continue to maintain its advantage, it must also undergo a comprehensive replacement.

This kind of thing happened within Mr.

Wen's expectation, because the aviation technology in this plane is more developed and can travel faster than the original time and space.

After they stayed in the "Super Piston" pit for a long time, they naturally discovered, Damn, this seems to be a pit.

If you can't go deeper anymore, then try another way.

The most important thing is that the jet theory has been around for a long time.

It is not a secret to these great powers.

After all, we are also an industrial country, a big gangster, and not a fool.

It’s good to be able to deceive us for a while.

Do you want to deceive us for the rest of your life?

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

The Shanghai aircraft carrier is the latest aircraft carrier commissioned by the Chinese Navy.

It only completed sea trials in June this year.

It only officially entered the navy's establishment in August when World War II broke out.

It is still in the running-in period.

It is the first ship of the Shanghai-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

It was built by Shanghai Jiangnan Heavy Industry.

The aircraft carriers of several classes after the "Han Dynasty" class are all named after the provincial administrative units where the first ship was built.

Since the Shanghai is in It was built in Shanghai and was the first ship, so "Shanghai" naturally became the class name and ship name.

The earliest Yuchao of the Chinese Navy was decommissioned ten years ago and is currently parked in Guangzhou and converted into a warship museum.

The four Xia Chao-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 sixteen active first-line aircraft carriers, six Han Dynasty-class Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties with a standard displacement of 33,200 tons, four Liaoning-class ships with a standard displacement of 45,000 tons, Liaoning, Shanxi, Hebei, and Anhui.

The four Shandong-class ships with a standard displacement of 40,000 tons are Shandong, Boni, Annan, and Guangxi, as well as the two latest Shanghai-class ships in service, Shanghai and Qinghai.

The ten Han Dynasty-class and Liaoning-class aircraft carriers are conventionally powered aircraft carriers, and starting from the Shandong class, they are nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

The Shanghai-class aircraft carrier is China's and currently the largest aircraft carrier in the world.

The standard displacement is 70,000 tons, and the full load displacement is 88,000 tons.

Four ships are expected to be built.

In addition to the Shanghai and Qinghai that are already in service, the Xinjiang and Anton are being outfitted and are expected to be put into active service in the second half of next year.

And its subsequent model has also been designed, which is the 100,000-ton super aircraft carrier Guangdong class.

The size of the Shanghai-class is between the Forrest-class and the second-generation Enterprise-class in the original time and space, but it adopts many advanced technologies of later generations, such as thermoelectric conversion nuclear power system, electromagnetic ejection system, etc., as well as a variety of later-generation designs.

Concept, its performance is better than that of the enterprise class one size larger.

At this time, the Shanghai was replenishing aircraft, well, to be precise, it was replacing aircraft.

Its original configuration of several major carrier-based aircraft, such as the J-8 "Snake Eagle" modified Sea Venomous Fang, the Qiang-5 "Owl" attack aircraft modified A1, etc. have all been emptied from the hangar.

Now the two aircraft at the port The heavy-duty tower crane is lifting large boxes one by one and placing them near its elevator.

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 cannot be seen inside.

A large group of military fans stood outside the cordon and were discussing enthusiastically.

"What kind of plane do you think this is?

It looks bigger than a snake vulture and a primitive owl."

"Of course it's a newer aircraft" "Aren't you talking nonsense?"

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

"It doesn't matter, it will be announced soon."

Some military fans said worriedly: "These aircraft look so big, the number of carrier-based aircraft will be reduced.

Aircraft carriers rely on aircraft.

If the number of aircraft is insufficient, won't the combat effectiveness be reduced?"

Naturally, there were wall-climbing gangs and grass-climbing gangs, but these guys were quickly discovered by guards and military animals such as military cats and dogs.

Then the films and transcripts were confiscated, and the people were also taken in to drink tea.

As for whether they can come out, or when they can come out, it depends on the results of the investigation.

If he is a foreign insider spy, then he will never be able to do it in his life.

Either he will become a "volunteer" in the scientific research department, or he will be forced to die in labor camp.

These arguments will naturally not affect the officers and soldiers on the aircraft carrier.

Changing aircraft is not only a technical job, but also a physical job.

The deck and hangar are now very busy.

The ground crew used trailers to drag the wheeled packaging boxes to the elevator, and then sent them one by one to the hangar for unpacking and inspection, while the pilots assisted beside them
