Chapter 211 The First High-Value Technology Exchange Contract

The C-47 transport aircraft is a target that Ren Zhong has been eyeing for a long time. Regardless of whether he can get the design data in this world, Ren Zhong will copy it.

We have already started collecting relevant information in the main world and conducting research and development on engines.

At this stage, C-47 is a very good choice that Ren Zhong selected from a very limited number of transport aircraft models.

Because this model is originally a passenger plane, after being modified with different layouts, it can be used as a proper passenger plane. At the current stage, domestic railways are underdeveloped, most provinces have no railway connections, and many roads between municipal cities have not been built. Cross-provincial travel is simply a nightmare.

So if air traffic can take this opportunity to get ahead, this passenger plane can be regarded as an excellent tool for overtaking traffic.

It has the ability to take off from field-level airports and is not too picky about the airport. This makes building an airport relatively simpler and reduces the cost of airport construction. By renovating the combat-ready airports built during the war, a nationwide airport network can be quickly built.

If an aircraft like the C-47 can be mass-produced and costs can be controlled, it may not be impossible to carry out heavy-duty aviation missions. It can carry 30 people at a time and almost 3 tons of cargo. It can fly 2600 kilometers at a time and have a cruising speed of 260 kilometers per hour. It can reach most points in the country on the same day. This advantage is very obvious.

If 40 aircraft were produced, they would be able to handle more than millions of passengers a day. For the 50s and s, this transportation volume was already considerable enough to basically meet the needs of inter-provincial passengers.

Relatively speaking, the Rogue Hawk is a more powerful four-engine transport aircraft, such as the C-4 Constellation transport aircraft, which has a faster flight speed of 69 km/h, a cruising speed of 530 km/h, and a longer range of about 365 km. However, the requirements for airports, production technology, and aircraft piloting are all on a higher level.

At this stage, Ren Zhong is not capable of handling such a top-notch giant.

Without practical technology, no matter how advanced it is, it will not have much meaning to Ren Zhong.

The war will not last much longer now. Even without Ren Zhong's interference, the war will be over in two years. Not only is the strength of the border area increasing day by day, but the Pacific Fleet, with its main force, has destroyed the Japanese Combined Fleet even more thoroughly at Midway Island.

As for the navy, the small book is now completely useless. Once the small book has its neck strangled, it will be very difficult for the small book to transport the resources obtained from Nanyang back to the country smoothly. Judging from this trend.

Of course, now that Ren Zhong has made a new technological breakthrough, Rogue Eagle has first obtained a large rocket with a range of 650 kilometers. Maybe after the production capacity is unleashed, this kind of weapon of mass destruction is too serious for the destruction of a city.

Strictly speaking, Dongfeng Express was being merciful by installing TNT explosives on the warhead. At most, it would blow up a few small buildings near the landing site. One ton of TNT is indeed powerful, but for reinforced concrete buildings, it is difficult to destroy them directly unless they are next to each other.

However, it would be a disaster if the Rogue Eagles were equipped with thermite incendiary bombs and fired into the city in large quantities. After one wave of attacks, the entire city might be a sea of ​​fire, and nothing would be left after the burning.

Especially for cities like the Japanese with many wooden houses, the effect of this incendiary bomb is surprisingly good. It only takes a few bombs to fall into the city’s buildings. It will be a perfect on-site barbecue, lighting the entire city into a barbecue grill!

With constant rocket attacks all over the city and fires everywhere, there was no way their firefighters would be able to effectively control the fires.

This scene is exciting just thinking about it.

General Shi did not agree to the conditions proposed by Staff Officer Ye on the spot.

Obviously, this was beyond his authority. Whether it was exchanging fighter jets or technology, he needed to go back and talk to higher-ups before making a decision.

However, General Shi said that he would try his best to fight for it. For General Shi, the Dongfeng Express in the border area was too shocking. It was a real killer that subverted the era. Although it was said in the intelligence that De San was also researching similar things, they had only encountered the attack of the first generation of V1 rockets. From the current point of view, it was not on the same level as Dongfeng Express.

Neither the distance nor the power of the attack are on the same level.

General Shi's strong request to bring a sample back was not fulfilled. It was not because Ren Zhong refused to give it to him, but because the sample was too heavy and General Shi's C-47 had no way of transporting it back.

If we find a more powerful transport aircraft, such as the C-69 Constellation, this large transport aircraft will have enough carrying capacity, but the airport in the border area will not be able to handle it.

The airport has to be repaired and the ground has to be reinforced with concrete. At this stage, there is no way to transport the goods back directly.

However, Ren Zhong asked Staff Officer Ye to give back a parameter table of the rocket's performance.

These are also very confidential information, which is currently the most advanced rocket technology. However, in order to catch the big fish, Ren Zhong had to reluctantly give it out as bait.

Fortunately, this high-speed information quickly became outdated after the second-generation Dongfeng Express came out. Under the guidance of Ren Zhong, Professor Qian and his team maintained a leading position for at least 30 years, so it was no harm to give Rogue Eagle some outdated technology.

Soon, after General Shi brought the information about this powerful weapon back to the Rogue Eagle staff, it immediately triggered a very heated debate among them. Most people did not believe it at first. They did not think that a place that they had hardly heard of could produce a technology more advanced than the Rogue Eagle.

This is totally unscientific. General Shi must have been deceived by their magic and what he saw was an illusion.

However, General Shi used his lifelong reputation to guarantee the authenticity of this technology, and there was also a series of evidence photos to prove that all of this was true. General Shi even promised that if necessary, he could have someone get a real rocket for testing.

Although aviation is not possible, it is technically possible to use heavy trucks for towing and transportation. Now the Rogue Eagle's Mack NR6 artillery tractor, equipped with a 123-horsepower engine, can be used to tow the barrel of a 15mm howitzer weighing 240 tons. After carefully planning the route, it is now feasible to take the Beibu Gulf sea route.

After defeating the Combined Fleet in four consecutive naval battles, they were unable to maintain their advantage in the Southeast Asian waters, but instead maintained a fragile balance with the Allied task force cruising in the area.

After a series of debates and assurances, the top brass of Rogue Eagle finally reached a brief consensus, that is, after the Border Region assisted them in completing a rocket to verify the production technology, they agreed to trade in rocket technology.

The specific transaction model is that in the first stage, the production technology and process are authorized to Rogue Eagle to assemble and produce 100 rockets, and Rogue Eagle will exchange them for 20 Mustang fighters; in the second stage, after Rogue Eagle verifies the value of the Dongfeng I rocket, the border area will transfer the entire set of production processes, including the production formula of core components and propellant fuel, and Rogue Eagle will be responsible for the design of the entire set of production processes for the C-47 transport aircraft, including the material production process formula of core components.

Realize complete technical exchange of the two products.

In terms of technological advancement, the border area suffered a bit of a loss in this transaction. Although Ren Zhong thought the first generation of Dongfeng Express was not worth writing about, it was actually a groundbreaking strategic product for this era. It completely broke the inherent mode of current warfare and opened up a truly unmanned long-range strike mode.

Although there is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of accuracy, in terms of power, it is already comparable to the damage that heavy bombers can inflict on the enemy.

The C-47 is a technology from the 30s. Although it is still first-class aviation technology and one of the few in the world, it is not at the top aviation level after all. The two technologies are indeed not on the same level in terms of advancement.

However, the border area has not yet made much of a name for itself in terms of technology. Even if it were to come up with such a groundbreaking weapon, it would probably not be feasible to exchange it for something better.

Even in a transaction like this where the border area is clearly at a disadvantage, when confirming the transaction plan, it is also the border area that suffers the loss. The technology can only be exchanged after the Rogue Eagle has tested the items.

However, Ren Zhong was not afraid that they would default on their debts.

The Battle of Midway destroyed the Japanese Combined Fleet, but the Japanese still stubbornly defended the captured territory in the Pacific, forcing the Rogue Eagle to pay a huge price in order to advance with difficulty.

At this time, the Rogue Eagle's leapfrog tactics had not yet been implemented. The two sides fought very bloody in the battle to seize the island. The Rogue Eagle with superior firepower did not gain an overwhelming combat advantage. Instead, it suffered heavy casualties and it was very difficult to advance.

Under this premise, if you can get a powerful weapon of mass destruction at a small price, it would definitely be a good deal.

Although the C-47 transport aircraft is the main tactical transport aircraft, its technology is relatively old. In the Rogue Eagle country, its status is much lower than that of the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-29 Super Fortress.

Therefore, if the Dongfeng rockets from the border areas prove to have actual combat capabilities, it will definitely be worthwhile to exchange them with the Rogue Eagles. Being able to send this kind of thing to the enemy over a long distance, as long as the number is large enough, then accuracy is not that important.

Ren Zhong is very confident in the Dongfeng rocket. At this stage, it is impossible for the Rogue Eagles to deny the huge role of this weapon. At the same time, it will strengthen their confidence in joining forces with the border region to fight against the Japanese invaders, so the possibility of them defaulting on their debts is relatively small.
