Chapter 581: Closer


"What?

You also want the Zero Fighter?

This was developed by Hainan Airlines after a lot of hard work.

You actually want to get the Zero Fighter without any effort?"

the new Navy Minister Zengo Yoshida said with disdain.

Tian Junliu's face felt a little hot.

After all, Japan's land-sea dispute has a long history.

For example, while the Navy was promoting dive bombers in large quantities, the Army Aviation Group did not engage in such activities in order to avoid being accused of picking up other people's leftovers.

Research.

Anti-aircraft guns.

Large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns have been assigned to the regiment level.

The Japanese army's Type 88 and Type 8 bombers, which have relatively single attack methods, not only suffered heavy losses under these anti-aircraft firepower, but their attack efficiency was also lower than that of countries with no air defense facilities in history.

For the military, it has been reduced by more than one level.

The war between land and sea within the Japanese army sometimes even reached the point where the screws produced had to have threads in opposite directions.

In order to prevent the two sides from being similar and making others think they were plagiarizing, the Japanese aircraft also creatively came up with a unique design such that Hainan Airlines' joysticks were forward, while Army Airlines' joysticks were backwards.

I am wary that pilots who can fly some Army Airlines planes cannot fly Hainan Airlines planes.

Even in Japan, which has a highly developed economy in later generations, there are still quite a lot of internal problems.

It can be seen that the system itself is also a process of continuous improvement.

At least at this time, although Japan is also one of the great powers, there are indeed many internal problems.

At least the land and sea dispute gave the emperor a headache for a while, and the huge interest groups it spawned could not be solved even by the emperor and the prime minister.

The vicious competition between the two sides has also caused many problems of resource waste in Japan's military industry.

If it were not forced by the situation, Tian Junliu, the former commander of the East China Expeditionary Force, would naturally be unwilling to lose face in front of the navy.

However, at this time, the situation of the Army Aviation in the Republic of China, especially in the north of the Republic of China, had even suffered a considerable blow. challenge.

Previously, relying on production, the Army Aviation was able to suppress the Northwest Air Force with its superior strength.

However, as the subsequent improved models of Feilong were gradually put into production, the output expanded.

The proportion of Feilong series fighters in the Northwest Army's fighter aircraft has expanded, and the production of Eagle fighters has been gradually discontinued.

It is difficult for the Army Aviation to continue to maintain its numerical advantage as before.

After all, in the early days, the Japanese army had a considerable proportion of skilled pilots.

However, with the successive high battle losses, skilled pilots were constantly being depleted.

Many pilots flew fighter planes with inferior performance to fight against the flying dragons, causing the casualties of the Army Aviation to continue to rise.

However, because of the advantages of the aircraft, some pilots of the Northwest Air Force continued to accumulate experience in actual combat.

The gap between the two sides in this regard has begun to widen.

In addition, due to Northwest aircraft manufacturing, a large number of Zephyr bomber engines were transferred to the United States for production, and some trainer aircraft were also purchased from the United States.

In addition to producing some high-end two-seat trainer aircraft, Northwest has a large amount of production capacity on aircraft.

It was released on fighter jets and the Kunpeng four-round heavy bombardment, which was extremely expensive, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

At least in terms of fighter production, Northwest China has been gradually catching up with the Japanese army.

In the defensive counterattack in the northwest, due to the successful use of radar, the main industrial areas in the northwest survived several Japanese air attacks and caused a large amount of damage to Japanese aircraft.

As a result, the northwest industrial region was not greatly disturbed during the war.

After all, the escort distance of Japanese fighter planes is also very limited, and their performance is relatively low.

They cannot compete with flying dragons in the hinterland of the northwest.

In short, the above combined, the losses of the Army Aviation are increasing, and more and more new faces are filling the various flying teams.

However, Army Aviation has not yet been able to mass-produce aircraft that can compete with the Northwest Flying Dragon.

Relatively speaking, although bowing to Hainan Airlines is extremely humiliating, it would be truly disastrous for the Army if the Northwest Air Force actually controls air supremacy.

After all, even Japan at this time cannot really deploy a large amount of anti-aircraft firepower to combat troops.

It is much more difficult to prevent the opponent's Zephyr dive bombers than to prevent the Japanese standard eight-eight bombers.

"Sir Yoshida, it seems that you still don't understand how far our intellectuals have developed.

Maybe you should let your Hainan Air Force conduct air strikes on major cities in the northwest.

You will know that the current foundation of the northwest is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. .

According to Tokugawa Yoshitoshi’s experience, in several large-scale Almost all the air strikes failed, and after losing more than 300 aircraft, they no longer dared to launch strategic air strikes on the northwest industrial region, and even attacked Zhengzhou, the center of the Ping-Han Railway, and Luoyang, the command center of the Central Plains Field Corps further to the west. .

Most of their air raids have advance warning.

Therefore, the Flying Corps has made bold speculations that the Northwest has developed an instrument that can detect flying troops at a long time.

The great powers have begun research in this area very early.

This instrument should be a radar specifically used to detect aircraft.

I am willing to accept it, but I have to admit that Northwest Kong In addition to the size of the army, they have reached the top level in technology.

If we are still obsessed with factional disputes, the heavy losses of aviation caused by the battle with the Northwest Army will affect the strategic layout of the empire. , will affect the empire’s future southward strategy.”

"How is it possible that northwest China has developed a radar?"

Zengo Yoshida said with a look of disbelief.

The navy is no stranger to radar.

The Navy Ministry staff in the United States were exposed to similar inventions a few years ago, but It was not taken seriously at the time.

But two or three years ago, after the Japanese Navy realized the importance of radar, they went to the United States to find people who had previously wanted to invest.

The people over there have been supervised by the US government.

Where are the Japanese?

Although the Navy has invested a lot of manpower and resources in radar in recent years, it has not made much progress.

It is far from being put into actual combat.

"It's impossible that the Flying Dragon fighter jets in Northwest China can be compared with the latest fighters from Britain and Germany.

Such advanced fighters have appeared in backward areas where they should least appear.

How can we explain that Northwest China can develop such advanced fighters?

, can successfully imitate the German Stuka bomber, then what is impossible for them to develop a radar?"

Tian Junliu said coldly, "After capturing Wuhan, we will attack the Central Plains.

HNA has also fought with the Northwest Air Force many times.

You should know how difficult the Northwest Air Force is.

If the south does not have enough advanced airports, you might as well send a few flying teams to the north to test it out.

Air defense of the northwest interior."

"You also know that I alone cannot have the final say on maritime affairs.

However, after serving on a large scale in Zero Warfare, the range of Zero Warfare will be enough to carry out air strikes in some areas of the northwest.

At that time, we will test the Northwest Air Force.

Is it really as powerful as Lu Hang said?"

Yoshida Zengo said in a deep voice, and from the bottom of his heart he had accepted Tian Shunroku's statement.

After all, those horse dung in the Army would never have bowed to the Navy if they had not been forced to a certain extent.

"The northwest is already so difficult.

If we choose to go south at this time, wouldn't the timing be wrong?"

A staff officer soon questioned.

"Although the northwest is difficult to deal with, its foundation is still too weak after all.

As long as the empire pays a sufficient price, it can still be defeated.

The key now is to seal all the channels entering the northwest.

Now the Yunnan-Burma Highway and Railway have Not open to traffic, but from the Siberian Railway There are still a lot of equipment imported to the northwest through the Northwest Highway.

The situation in Europe is now tense, and even the Soviet Union has no time to transport machinery from Russia to the northwest, so there is still Vladivostok.

Once it goes south, the empire will directly contact the United States In terms of confrontation, it will be necessary to blockade the Soviet military ports in the Far East to achieve the goal of completely blocking the northwest.

Therefore, the empire's strategy of going south is similar to the strategy of dealing with the northwest.

The zero battle is enough to sweep across the U.S. sea Before the huge war machine of the United States is fully launched, defeat them in the Pacific Fleet, move the front to the west coast of the United States, and force them to return to the peace negotiation table.

In East Asia and the Southeast, there is only the Combined Fleet.

That’s invincible.”

"Okay, several years of rush for jobs are finally starting to bear fruit.

Northwest Heavy Industry, since Baotou, now has a strong heart.

With enough steel production, the backbone of Northwest Industry can truly stand up.

"Zang Shiyi's relatively strong body faced the heat wave rolling in the factory.

Pulling off his helmet and wiping the sweat from his forehead, he smiled and said to Mr.

Zhou next to him.

"Yes, there are so many regulations that need to be implemented in such a large factory area.

But at least this steel factory has been built.

But with the strength of this regiment alone, we want to protect the arsenal.

"I'm afraid it's too late to protect your safety at the critical moment," Mr.

Zhou said with some worry.

"It's okay.

No matter how many troops there are, the King of Sichuan will not continue to do it.

It won't take long to transport troops from northern Sichuan to the steel mining areas.

Besides, we have an army of more than 100,000 in northern Sichuan.

Just rely on the Sichuan army. , cannot afford the anger of the Northwest Army .

As for the Central Army, which is now declining, we still need to rely on our northwest to provide arms, so as not to break ground at this age.

Don't forget that the commander is in Luoyang, and he is not as concerned about these steel plants in southern Sichuan as we are.

With the current capabilities of the Central Army and the Sichuan Army, it is really difficult for this regiment to capture the steel plant.

Besides, in the past few years in the northwest, I have never had to worry about security issues.

It was the commander's consideration.

Besides, I couldn't think of it.

You should discuss these matters with the people in the army.

The commander never paid attention to these trivial matters in production.

He just patted his butt and threw them all to me.

With people like Chairman Shao and Chairman Huang.”

Thinking of the previous cooperation model with Jiang Li, Zang Shiyi couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"That's true, the division of labor is clear.

This is where Director Jiang is more courageous than ordinary people.

Well, with these steel plants in southern Sichuan, our steel output will have a larger growth pole in the next two to three years. ” Mr.

Zhou nodded with a smile in his eyes, and he admired Tibetan Yi very much.

Although the Soviets provided some assistance to such a large steel plant, most of it was to solve mechanical problems.

In terms of real management, it was still based on Mainly managers from the northwest.

Managing such a huge project is no easier than managing an army.

"Well, several steel plants in southern Sichuan have a designed production capacity of 1.2 million tons.

Now the northwest has the ability to make its own open-hearth furnaces and blast furnaces.

Coupled with imported equipment, our scale has increased.

By the end of the year, Japan's steel production reaches more than 3.3 million tons, which is only a few hundred tons.

One hundred thousand tons.

From this point of view, we already have the capital to fight Japan.

According to the current growth rate, it is expected that it will reach 5 million tons or even surpass Japan.

The tasks assigned to me and Chairman Shao are still somewhat delayed.”

"In terms of oil production, it has now reached a breakthrough of 3.7 million tons.

However, our production of high-octane high-quality gasoline is actually slightly higher than Japan's production of aviation gasoline.

Considering that Japan The navy needs to consume a lot of fuel.

In fact, our fuel usage is relatively high.

Well, Lao Zang, you took me to visit so many places during this period.

Every time I visited, the impact on me was a little deeper.

If I hadn’t come to the northwest, if I had heard these things in Jiangxi, I would have been I don’t believe it.”

Mr.

Zhou said with great emotion.

Although he has been in Northwest China for several years, looking back, it still feels a bit unreal.

"To be honest, who can believe it without personal experience?

Don't those foreign devils also think that the Republic of China will be defeated in the War of Resistance.

In the past ten years, the northwest has been advancing at a high speed even during the war.

If it weren't for the fact that the commander must maintain strategic On the defensive, now in the Central Plains The war wouldn't have been so hard.

To be honest, if the commander had been born more than ten years ago, the current Republic of China would never be in the situation it is today."

Zang Shiyi handed the helmet to the staff next to him and put his forehead on it.

The sparse hair on her head was pushed back.

"Now we can build tens of thousands of cars, trucks, tractors, and tens of thousands of motorcycles a year.

We can also build dozens of locomotives.

From airplanes to tanks, machine rifles, and cannons, the Northwest can make them all by itself.

And it's like this Such industrial clusters were established in the barren northwest.

The commander has never failed to predict the general direction.

Since the commander said that Japan will definitely go south, I have a hunch that the war between the Republic of China and Japan will not last long, at least on the mainland.

Bian, within three or two years, we will definitely see the outcome.”

"I hope so."

Mr.

Zhou was a little surprised by Zang Shiyi's confidence in Jiang Li, but judging from the current situation, it is indeed good
