Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 865 The data crushed by 866

In the civilization of the earth, in the 60s, the Soviet Union and the United States entered a state of cold war, and various new weapons emerged in an endless stream. Many familiar equipment were born during this period.

During this period, missiles began to mature, and various technologies began to stabilize. Many weapons were classic and could be used for a long time.

For example, the Hercules transport aircraft is one of the more classic aircraft: it has been used until the new century, and it is still strong without major problems.

Also classic is another aircraft: the American B-52 Stratofortress bomber, which is also a classic bomber that has been used for 70 years.

In Tang Mo's design bureau, the blueprints of these two aircrafts are ready, and the production technology is also being popularized as soon as possible. Everyone is waiting for the new aircraft to be born. Tang's air force will soon have more, better and more advanced aircrafts. airplane.

Neither type of aircraft can be manufactured now, because almost all of Tang's production capacity has been put on Mr. Liu's side.

After all, what Tang is in urgent need of is a fighter that can continue to maintain its superiority in air combat. As for bombers, a large number of flying fortresses and various attack aircraft, it is really impossible to eliminate them.

First of all, the Tang Army is equipped with more than 1000 Stuka dive bombers of various types. These aircraft seem to be not very useful now, but the number is still there.

They have almost no use other than dive bombing, except for naval models that can mount torpedoes, and only a few aircraft have been converted into ground lickers like Il-2.

Secondly, the Tang Army is also equipped with the Il-2 attack aircraft with better performance. This aircraft is faster than the Stuka, so it is more suitable for modern battlefields.

About 500 Il-2 attack aircraft will not be eliminated for a while, and the troops can only make do with it.

Finally, the Tang Army still has more than 2000 butcher fighter jets. These fighter jets are waiting to be replaced with more advanced Liuye, but Liuye's production capacity is really not enough.

In addition to these World War II-era tactical aircraft, the Tang Army is also equipped with more than 300 Junker 88 general-purpose aircraft. More than 50 of these aircraft have been converted into night fighters, and more than 200 of them are bombers.

Night fighters are necessary to protect oil fields and Chang'an. Before Liu Ye's all-weather fighters entered service, these Junker 88s were treasures.

The Air Force is studying whether to take out 50 more useless Junker bombers and convert them into night fighters to ensure night combat capabilities.

In addition, about 50 Junker 88 bombers are testing various new weapons and equipment on Longdao, including the Tang Empire version of the Fritz X guided bomb.

These experimental planes are also responsible for carrying torpedoes to patrol the surrounding area of ​​Long Island, and experimenting with various anti-submarine equipment developed by Tang... In short, their experimental nature is greater than that of actual combat.

In addition to these aircraft, Tang's strategic bomber force is also equipped with more than 2000 B-17 flying fortress bombers. The performance of these bombers is actually not too backward, because the number of fighter jets that can intercept them in other countries is not too large.

If you count about 3000 various types of trainer aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, and C-47 transport aircraft, etc., the total number of aircraft equipped by the Tang State Air Force is close to 10000, which can be said to be a big business.

But the tragedy is that these aircraft cannot be replaced in a short period of time and can only continue to be used.As much fun as it was to produce these planes, it's a pain in the ass to replace them now.

The Army has just established an experimental helicopter battalion, equipped with a dozen UH-1 Huey helicopters for testing.

But apart from the good news of helicopter equipment, the army's senior generals are as depressed as the air force: they have about 2000 Panzer IV tanks in their hands, and more than 4 Panther tanks cannot be replaced immediately.

Looking at the 59 cars showing off their might in the test field, their saliva was about to flow out: this was the first time they disliked the fact that they had too many tanks in their hands.

As long as you touch the new 59 smoothbore tank gun equipped with a smoking device on the 105 tank, the almost invincible Leopard tank on the battlefield will instantly lose its fragrance.

Of course, the army generals looked at another 1000 No. 4 assault guns, and more than 1000 Bumblebee 155mm self-propelled howitzers...don't mention how desperate they are.

They managed to send over 200 2 howitzers converted from the No. 105 chassis to Qin State in the name of military aid, and now they have to think about how to eliminate the rest of the junk.

All types of trucks need to be unified, as are all types of off-road jeeps, even the rocket launchers on the truck chassis...

This is definitely not a small number: the number of trucks equipped by Tang Jun far exceeds 20, which can basically be said to have achieved motorization.

Such a huge motorized and mechanized force requires a huge amount of oil and materials every time it is dispatched. If it weren't for the fact that the Tang Empire had three large oil fields and the oil input from the Dahua Empire and the Qin State, it might not be able to afford it. Luxurious lineup.

"At present, it seems that the only option is to replace the Type 47 transport aircraft first." After discussing for a while, everyone finally felt that it seemed the most sensible and appropriate to use the C-47 transport aircraft.

"The Type 47 transport aircraft, especially the personnel transport aircraft used by the military, can be easily exported or modified as a multi-purpose personnel transport aircraft." Matthews put forward his own opinion.

Tang Mo nodded, thinking that replacing the C-47 transport plane as a priority is indeed a good idea: the large-scale refitting of other weapons involves confidentiality issues, except for the DC-3, which has been sold all over the world, or The C-47 is no secret anymore.

There is no risk in selling this, and it can also solve a large number of transport planes that are under pressure. This is definitely a good business that makes money.

Recently, the top management of the Tang Empire held frequent meetings in order to discuss how to solve the problem of weapon replacement of the Imperial Defense Force in the most economical and most effective way.

"Then, let's find an opportunity to put into production the Type 130 transport aircraft. The eliminated Type 47 transport aircraft will be used as military aid and sold to countries that are willing to buy second-hand aircraft." After making a decision, Tang Mo gave his opinion.

"Your Majesty is wise! Qin, Shu, and Dorn all hope to get more transport planes... They don't mind if they are second-hand, but because they like our used equipment, they hope to get second-hand equipment." Responsible for weapon sales Harry spoke immediately.

The most widely used aircraft in the world is the C-47 transport aircraft. This aircraft is called a Type 3 passenger aircraft, or a Type 47 multipurpose aircraft.

In short, the performance of this aircraft is very stable, and the safety factor is also high. It is very popular with pilots from all over the world.

It has been produced 19000 and has been widely used in civil aviation and air forces of various countries.In fact, apart from the Tang Empire, many other countries are using this aircraft as a bomber.

They will modify the C-47 transport aircraft belonging to the Air Force and install bomb bays on it, in order to allow this aircraft, which has excellent performance for them, to perform bombing missions.

This is also the reason why these countries have a large number of C-47 aircraft, and the whole world has produced nearly 2 aircraft.

The civil aviation of the Datang Empire has always used the Type 47 transport aircraft. Whether it is passenger or cargo transportation, this type of aircraft is very reliable.

At its peak, there were a total of 5800 Type 47 transport aircraft in the civil aviation market of the Datang Empire. Together with the same type of aircraft in service in the military, it accounted for almost one-third of the total production of Type 47 aircraft.

Such a huge number is beyond the reach of other countries, and the pilot team that can support such a large aircraft size is also the envy of other countries.

In the second year of the Tang Empire, Tang Guo's own statistics show that they have a total of 4 aircraft pilots and glider enthusiasts, which is twice the total number of pilots from other countries combined, which can be called absolute crushing.

These pilots are the most precious wealth of the Tang Empire.The other empires have accumulated for more than a year, but they have only cultivated a group of pilots who can fly civil aviation.

The Datang Empire is too rich, not only does it have so many pilots, it also has a large group of submarine soldiers, and a large group of professionals on the aircraft carrier.

It has millions of people who can drive or drive tractors, millions of people who can repair various engines, tens of millions of workers, and more than 30 hard-working slave laborers.

That's why it can be so powerful, and can produce so many aircraft, cannons and tanks in such a short moment, so that Tang Mo and his ministers have their own pain: the emperors of other empires will not despise their own. There are too many tanks and planes that cannot be eliminated...

They just complain that they don't have enough planes, pilots, tanks, or tankers.

Matthews nodded and began to record Tang Mo's various requirements. When producing these new equipment, higher standards should be used to improve safety.

Matthews and Parker are the minister of industry for technology, and the minister of production who is in charge of production. They are both in charge of this aspect, so they have to arrange relevant production tasks after this meeting.

Loew attended this meeting on behalf of the military, and he just gave a speech. In this era of major changes, he is really the happiest person.

Because the General Staff of the Great Tang Empire now has a [-]% winning rate in foreign wars!As the chief of staff of the Imperial General Staff, he naturally has a bright face.

What's more, he is now the man holding the marshal's scepter!This heavy scepter wrapped in pure gold outside the copper alloy is engraved with the imperial dragon emblem, and inlaid with gems on the upper and lower sides. It is the highest honor bestowed by the empire on soldiers.

Every time he sees the scepter, he will be extremely proud - this is His Majesty's affirmation of his work.
