Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 422: A Different Kind of Vietnam War

A small episode in the main world, without any waves.

This investigation seemed to have no effect on Ren Zhong. He continued his work as a knowledge carrier between the two worlds. Even though it was becoming increasingly difficult to acquire new technologies and knowledge, Ren Zhong had no intention of stopping.

IT technology is okay, but the world of Bright Sword is just emerging, and what Ren Zhong is doing has not even reached the level of the 1980s, so he continues to obtain some technical information through "archaeology" of the main world technology. It cannot be used directly on this basis, and requires complete research and development in the world of Bright Sword.

Ren Zhong serves as a bridge of knowledge, passing on knowledge about the overall architecture and key principles. Although this cannot solve all the problems in the world of Bright Sword, it can solve 80 percent of the technical obstacles.

In this way, the process of finding the correct path through a large number of experiments, which originally took five or eight years in the main world's historical time and space, no longer exists in Tokyo University. Just run on the right path, and it is not surprising that a major technological breakthrough will appear in one or two years.

Just like in the area of ​​aircraft engines.

The breakthrough in jet engines began with the J5A's WP5. The engineers at the Aviation Engine Research Center had complete R&D and production experience, which evolved into the new J79 engine. They had the data of a complete J79 aero-engine that had been disassembled, and even disassembled most of the physical parts and brought them into the world of Bright Sword for their reverse imitation.

With the foundation of WP5, and Ren Zhong's early introduction of the first generation of high-temperature alloys, mass production and manufacturing processes were completed on WP5. Although the subsequent imitation work was difficult, progress did not stagnate. Therefore, by the end of 55, the WP79 prototype based on J7 had completed the assembly of the entire machine.

After 120 hours of uninterrupted testing, the newly researched turbojet 7 is very stable and is almost identical to the J79 that Ren Zhong got in the main world. The standard parts of the J79 brought back were reinstalled into the F4H Phantom engine that Ren Zhong bought, and the two have almost the same effects.

The performance parameters of the J79 engine are fully realized: the gas temperature before the turbine is 1205K, the compression ratio is 13.5, the thrust-to-weight ratio is 4.61, the intermediate thrust is 53kN, the fuel consumption rate is 0.87 kg/(dN·h), the maximum afterburner thrust is 80kN, the fuel consumption rate is 2 kg/(dN·h), the engine length is 5.3m and the diameter is 1m.

The J4P-52A engine based on the A-8 attack aircraft was developed earlier. After all, this engine has lower production requirements and is close to the WP-5 technology. After using the first generation of high-temperature alloys, the gas temperature before the turbine exceeds 1200K. The performance of the imitated WP-6 model is even stronger than the original version of the J52P-8A engine, close to the performance parameters of the J52P-40A engine, and the thrust has reached about 45kN.

With its powerful power, the imitation A-4M attack aircraft was named Qiang-6 in Dongda! However, its actual performance is much higher than that of the main world's Qiang-.

In terms of empty weight, the A-4 attack aircraft is 4 kg and the Q-750 is 6375 kg, but their maximum take-off weights are almost the same, with the A-4's maximum take-off weight being 11 kg and the Q-136's maximum take-off weight being 11830 kg.

However, in terms of bomb load, the Q-1500 has only 4 kg, while the A-4156M can carry a maximum of kg!

Moreover, after the avionics modification, the weapons that the A-4M can carry include high-explosive bombs or cluster bombs, unguided rockets or missiles, such as AGM-12, AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles, AGM-65 Maverick missiles, and even AGM-88HARM. In order to increase the number of external weapons, the A-4 can also be equipped with triple or multiple launchers.

This makes the A-4M a very useful combat platform. As a front-line support attack aircraft, it does have a very powerful fire suppression effect.

In the A-4 model of the Rogue Hawk in the main world, most of them are equipped with two Mk2mm cannons at the wing root, each with 1220 rounds of ammunition. But some countries use it for land frontier suppression. They have modified two 200mm cannons and configured 2 rounds of ammunition, which is not only for trench attacks on the front line, but also for anti-armored vehicle functions.

A-4 Skyhawk (nuclear-capable attack aircraft)
For Ren Zhong, this fighter jet is a panacea model that can be introduced by both the army and the navy, and can greatly make up for the shortcomings of armed helicopters in providing fire support to the front line.

It integrates multiple tasks such as front-line bombing, anti-armored vehicles, and front-line fire support, and can also take off from simple airports and offshore aircraft carrier platforms. At this stage, it is the best air fire output platform after achieving air superiority.

Therefore, after Ren Zhong got this fighter jet, he immediately started the copying work.

Like the F4H, they are the two main models in the Air Force research.

Together with the localization research of the Yak-38, the research on three main aircraft models of the Air Force is being carried out simultaneously.

Although the external environment of Dongda has greatly improved now, with the air advantage gained by J5A, Ren Zhong knows that it cannot be maintained for a few years, so he has been allocating resources in this regard, including collecting and purchasing these top fighter data and prototypes in the main world, so that our three major aviation research centers in Taiyuan, Jingcheng and Fengjing are not idle at all.

Now that he has finally taken the lead, what Ren Zhong needs to do now is to further widen the technological gap with other countries in air combat platforms!
As someone from the main world, no one in this world understands better than Ren Zhong how great the impact of air superiority will be on future operations.

At the end of 55, the Anhou North and South, who had long disliked each other, finally started fighting.

What is different from the historical time and space of the main world is that this time the strength of the North and South An monkeys is almost the same.

In this way, after the two sides fought each other, the fight was very lively.

"What position should we take in this war?" Staff Officer Ye knew that Ren Zhong had his own unique views on war.

In terms of treating Anhou, he was influenced by Ren Zhong, although he still helped Anhou in the north to drive out the Gallic colonists and allow the north to establish its own regime.

However, Ren Zhong had no interest in unifying the north and south of Anhou.

In fact, Ren Zhong thinks that keeping two Anhous is the most ideal.

So in the face of such a problem, "Try to get them back to balance!" Ren Zhong said without hesitation, "Of course, it's useless for us to say this now. We'll talk about it after they figure it out. Anything we support the north with must be leased or loaned out. Although Dongda is not short of these things now, we don't want to keep idle people!"

Staff Officer Ye shook his head. He obviously had the same idea as Ren Zhong, who did not keep idle people, and quickly understood the key point.

"It's not a big deal for us to fight at our doorstep all the time," said Staff Officer Ye. "It's also a threat to the development of our two southern provinces."

It can be seen that Staff Officer Ye does not want to see these wars on his doorstep. Indeed, after their chaotic fighting, the south and the South China Sea are somewhat unsafe.

"It's okay. We just need to set some rules for them," Ren Zhong said casually. "For example, we can designate 19° north latitude as a restricted zone for them to fight. If the south crosses this restricted zone, we will give them heavy air strikes. At sea, they are prohibited from fighting outside their territorial waters. If they violate this ban, we have the right to sink the warring parties' ships and aircraft that enter the restricted zone. This will limit the area and scale of the battle."

If the unified Anhou is not very honest, then don't unify. Under such conditions, Anhou basically has no hope of unification. It just so happens that in the eyes of his neighbors, non-unification is also a good thing. In this area, no one wants a little bully to appear.

"Is this okay?" Staff Officer Ye clearly lacked understanding of hegemony.

"Of course. Whoever has the bigger fist makes the rules. As long as our fist is big enough, we can make them obey our rules." Having been influenced by the main world, Ren Zhong is very familiar with the concept of no-fly zones.

Today's Tokyo University is no longer a weakling.

Thanks to Ren Zhong's hard work over the past decade, Southeast University's army, navy and air force have all been at the forefront of the world.

Even though the navy is a little worse now, it depends on who it is compared with.

In this world of Sword and Fairy, it now has more than 40 Jianghai-class and Luhai-class destroyers, 4 attack nuclear submarines, and 2 Dongting Lake-class amphibious assault ships that are about to be put into service. A navy of this size is unique in the Asian server. A destroyer detachment can crush the pitiful assets of Anhou.

"That's right, we are very strong now." Staff Officer Ye was stunned for a moment, then he smiled self-deprecatingly after reacting. "I sat up in shock from my dying illness, and now we are the great powers. I am a little uncomfortable, really a little uncomfortable."

"We, the top leaders, must adapt first so that we can open up to the world. Now, through the Non-Aligned Movement, we should naturally become the leader of the vast majority of third world countries and regions and promote world peace and development," said Ren Zhong.

"We set the rules and punish those who don't listen. Isn't this a very natural logic?"

Such domineering words do not seem out of place at all when Ren Zhong says them now.

"Our Super Seven fighters are about to be released, so the export of J5 and J5A will not matter. Strictly speaking, our fighter jets at Dongda only have one new one, the J5A. But with the end of the Cold War, the fighters we produce are basically for export. According to the plan, the Air Force will naturally be larger than the current size. The reason why the Air Force's active staffing is kept at a low level is that we want to save the fighter staffing for the Super Seven after the F-4 Phantom fighters have mastered it."

"Our Super 5 will surpass the world's current top level. Its heavy weight, long range, and large payload are completely weaknesses that the JA cannot catch up with."

"Isn't it a bit too early to sell the J5A?" Staff Officer Ye frowned. This is currently the world's top fighter jet.

The Rogue Eagle's previous generation fighter jets were defeated.

"It's getting late. We have to wait until our new fighter jets, the Super 5, are launched and put into service. These are more expensive items. A Super is much more expensive than a JA. If we don't sell them early and raise some funds, where will the money for the gap come from?
Shouldn't we seize the opportunity to sell a batch of J5As first?"

"The price is about four times our factory price. Anhou can't afford to buy more than a few. For example, we can sell them a squadron (4-50 aircraft) at 20 US dollars each. With such an air force, I believe the North will not have to worry about its air security advantage."

"If you want a cheap product, that's fine. We only need $51 for a P8D. But ten P51Ds can't beat a J5A. You get what you pay for. Don't want everything. That's just dreaming."

"In addition, our Z-5 helicopters have also been finalized and put into production. Now there is one more flying thing in the sky. The Z-5 helicopter plays an important role on the battlefield. Although it is positioned differently from modern fighter jets, the two weapons do not overlap. Helicopters are very flexible in jungle warfare and are very convenient for transporting special forces. Is it not too much to charge 30 US dollars for a Z-5?"

Staff Officer Ye's face twitched. You're not exaggerating. The production cost of the Z-20 is at most 5 local currency, but now it's being sold for 30 US dollars, which is almost five times the cost price.

"I'm afraid Anhoubei can't afford to buy much. They are extremely poor now and even eating is a problem." Staff Officer Ye said slowly after calming down for a while.

"If you don't have it now, just owe it. You can use resources, such as iron ore, to pay off the debt later. In Anhou's family, there are many mineral resources. We don't have to worry about not having what we want."

After Ren Zhong blocked Anhou's lifeline in the north, we were able to negotiate several good big deals later.

In accordance with the principle of reciprocity, the Rogue Eagle side also stuffed a lot of junk into the south, and the two sides fought back and forth between 17 degrees and 19 degrees north latitude.

However, after the strength of both sides increased, it was mysteriously still at almost the same level.

After the Rogue Eagle suffered in the Cold War skies, the F-86D finally evolved to a new generation and possessed combat capabilities similar to the J5A. Now the F-86D has begun mass production. However, the Rogue Eagle is not aware that at Dongda, the J5A has begun to be eliminated and sold out.

Although these weapons represent advanced technology in this era, pilots are in short supply for Anhou, not to mention pilots in the air force.

The pilots of a squadron were all urgently trained in the mainland with great difficulty. They were required to take up their posts if they could fly and fight. They were not much different from the quickly trained pilots of Dongda University in the main world.

However, under the threat of war, you don't have much time to grow calmly. Everyone is in the dark and has to take off to fight the enemy as soon as they can fly.

As a result, a lot of air battles between novices began to appear in the sky above 17 degrees north latitude.

Relying on the powerful combat capability of the J5A, the Northern Army gained a lot of advantages in this round of air combat and achieved a casualty ratio of almost 1:3. In this way, although the overall strength was obviously not superior, the North withstood a large-scale armored offensive from the South.

Although the two sides only have a force of about 10,000 people, for a country like this, this was a battle that had been building up for a long time before they dared to fight.

Ren Zhong watched the good shows next door in his spare time, and sold all his own inventory and some second-hand commercial goods.

Some countries become poorer the more they fight, like Big Bear, but some countries become richer the more they fight, like Rogue Eagle, who got rich through World War I and World War II. Ren Zhong had such an opportunity at his doorstep, so of course he was not willing to give it up easily.
