Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2369

After the Allied forces began to counterattack, the Changi Naval Base became the rear of the Allied forces in East Asia.

Compared with two years ago, the area of ​​the Changi Naval Base continued to expand. After Batam Island in the middle of the strait became part of the Changi Naval Base, Tanjong Island was also annexed by the Changi Naval Base. The "Bunker Hill" docked , is the new military port on Tanjung Island.

When the time came to 1943, the Allied forces gathered warships in East Asia. There were more than ten large ships of the aircraft carrier class alone, which far exceeded the capacity of the Changi Naval Base. A large military port for [-] warships to meet the growing demands of the Allied Forces.

Like the Changi Naval Base, Tanjong Island was purchased by the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa from East India. It belongs to the permanent land of Southern Africa. The US military stationed on Tanjong Island is of a temporary nature. In theory, all military supplies loaded and unloaded by the US military on Tanjong Island Materials must be approved by the southern African military.

The U.S. military has been doing this before. Even if the U.S. aircraft carrier sails into Tanjung Port, the staff of the southern African military can board the ship for inspection. Even the latest F6F Hellcat carrier-based aircraft of the U.S. military is completely against the southern African military. open.

42 years ago, the US Navy's main carrier-based model has always been the F4F Wildcat.

In the battle with the Japanese Type Zero, the F4F exposed many problems. The U.S. Navy needed a carrier-based aircraft with faster speed, stronger firepower, larger ammunition load, and farther flight, so there was the F6F Hellcat .

In terms of appearance, the F6F is almost the same as the F4F except for its larger body, so it is nicknamed "the big brother of the wild cat".

In fact, the performance of the F6F has been greatly improved compared to the Wildcat, so that the Hellcat's wing area is too large, which makes people worry about whether it can land safely on an aircraft carrier.

This worry is unnecessary. The Americans took the lead. Even Army Aviation bombers can be used on aircraft carriers, and Hellcats are no problem.

Compared with the previous looseness, the security level of "Bunker Hill" has been significantly improved. The marines are fully armed and escorted, and they refuse to approach the security personnel of the southern African military. This has aroused strong opposition from An Qi.

"If you can't accept the inspection of security personnel, then please ask 'Bunker Hill' to leave Tanjung Port. As the commander of the Indian Ocean theater, I must know what is in Tanjung Port." It is also a last resort. All the military ports of the United States in the Philippines have been destroyed by the Japanese army or destroyed by the war, and they are still unusable.

The two Philippine battles completely smashed the Philippines into ruins, and the already unstable colonial rule of the United States in the Philippines almost collapsed.

When the Japanese occupied the Philippines, with the support of the Filipinos, Japan formed a colonial servant army of nearly 30 people, and a large number of weapons were scattered among the people, countless.

After the United States resumed its colonial rule over the Philippines, it retaliated against the Filipinos who joined the Japanese colonial slave army. Many people were arrested and sentenced to death without approval. Some villages disappeared overnight, as if they never existed .

The Filipinos did not succumb, and resistance continued one after another. The dense tropical jungle provided strong protection for the Philippine rebels. The Americans have been trying to restore the colonial order. More than a year has passed, but they have not been able to do so.

"It's just a bomb that has not been successfully developed and is in the experimental stage. It is not worth making a fuss—" Chester William Nimitz, commander-in-chief of the US Pacific Fleet, was very helpless. In his opinion, there was no need to hide it.

The news of the sinking of the "Roma" by the Germans has spread all over the world along with radio waves, and the precision-guided bombs have also become famous along with this information.

Southern Africa used similar weapons in East Asia last year. The Americans know this information, but they don’t know the specific situation, and they don’t know the research progress of precision guidance in southern Africa. However, judging from the earliest application in actual combat in southern Africa, the accuracy The research on guided weapons is at least not slower than that of Germany.

In such a comparison, the United States is seriously behind in research on precision guidance.

"Pure Azimuth" was hastily sent to East Asia under this background. There are a total of forty pieces. The relevant research institutes of the United States hope to obtain some data of "Pure Azimuth" in actual combat, so as to facilitate the next analysis of "Pure Azimuth". angle" follow-up research.

"Don't you also block news about precision-guided weapons from us? Only you are allowed to block it, so don't you allow us to do so?" MacArthur was more straightforward. He knew that it was useless to back down when dealing with Angie.

The commander of the theater in southern Africa is more British than the Americans. He is domineering, domineering and merciless. The only reference standard for doing things is whether it is beneficial to the interests of southern Africa.

MacArthur was also known for his arrogance and domineering.

But it still pales in comparison to An Qi.

No matter how arrogant MacArthur is, he must also consider the interests of the Allied forces.

Angie just ignored it, and the British didn't give them face. Johor is about to become a colony of southern Africa, and even the entire British Malaya has become the sphere of influence of southern Africa. Can the empire return to East Asia?

The French were even more unlucky.

During the period of cooperation with Japan, the French still had at least the jurisdiction of the French East Indies.

After the Japanese were driven away, the French colonial rule in the French East Indies completely collapsed. The entire French East Indies is now under military control. In fact, it is managed by the southern African military. Vichy France stationed in the French East Indies The officials have all been taken to Changi Naval Base for centralized detention, awaiting trial.

"I don't even know what you are insisting on. Do you think that your precision-guided weapons will be more advanced than ours? Ask yourself, what is your precision-guided technology that we can learn from, maybe we I can also give you some suggestions, so that you can avoid some detours." An Qi is careless, she can't be euphemistic when speaking to Americans, if it is too euphemistic, Americans can't understand, so she has to be straightforward for Americans to understand.

"Ann, I admit that you have gone further in the research of precision-guided weapons, but what you say is wrong. This is not the correct attitude towards allies." Nimitz understood, but there was no applause.

"If my words make you feel uncomfortable, then I apologize, in fact, we will also test a precision-guided weapon next—ah, sorry—" Angie pretended to be a slip of the tongue, Nimitz Looking at MacArthur, the pupils of both of them are a little big.

Southern Africa has already applied precision-guided weapons in actual combat last year.

Now that a year has passed, the technology in southern Africa must have advanced further, and new weapons have appeared, so they need to be tested on the battlefield.

If you look at it this way, what An Qi said just now is really correct. If the relevant personnel of the United States can watch from the sidelines when the southern African military uses this weapon, it will benefit greatly.

Three days later, a Southern African Superfortress bomber, escorted by six Army Falcons, took off from an airfield in northern Borneo and headed north.

The "Super Sky Fortress" has a long range. If escorted by HNA fighter jets, the range is seriously insufficient. Only the endurance of the "Falcon" can keep up with the "Super Sky Fortress".

In the cabin of the "Super Sky Fortress", Lu Sen, a senior researcher from the Nyasaran Tesla Research Institute, was communicating with Colonel Beaufort of the US Defense Research Council.

"The weapon we tested this time is called 'Pure Azimuth', which is a visually guided precision-guided bomb that can accurately hit the target and cause great damage to the target. To achieve this effect, 500 engineers spent two years Half the time, and at a cost of millions of dollars." Colonel Beaufort was confident that Azimuth Pure would be a great success.

The Germans also made a big splash with the visually guided "Fritz-X", and there is no reason why "pure azimuth" should not be successful.

"Wait, visual guidance, did you have this technology in the United States in the last century?" Lu Sen was very curious, is the so-called latest technology of the Americans an overnight meal?

To be precise, it should be 1898, when the person who demonstrated this technology was Nikola Tesla, the director of the Tesla Research Institute.

"What?" Colonel Beaufort was at a loss, as if he had no memory at all.

Russen shrugged and stopped discussing the issue.

In the United States, some people think that Nikola Tesla is a great person who has proposed many forward-looking super technologies and is also a super electric engineer.

More people think that Nikola Tesla is a liar, and like another famous liar who claimed to be under missiles, he made a living by defrauding investors of their investments.

Thankfully both of these guys left the US.

"The weight of 'Pure Azimuth' is about 600 kilograms, and the charge of warhead is about 80 kilograms. A single bomb can easily destroy a heavy warship with a displacement of [-] tons—" Colonel Beaufort was still talking.

"600 kilograms is too small, the German 'Fritz' X has nearly 1.6 tons—" Lu Sen's expression was obviously disgusted, 600 kilograms was not as heavy as the shells of battleships.

"Weight is not the key, accuracy is the key, and if the bomb is too heavy, a small bomber can't carry it at all, our 'pure azimuth', even the old aircraft from World War I can mount it smoothly—" Beaufort The colonel was triumphant, and now he finally remembered his mission: "How about your precision-guided bombs?"

Admiral Nimitz and MacArthur worked hard to get a close look at precision-guided bombs in southern Africa.

This is based on the premise of fully opening "azimuth-only" to southern Africa.

Angel never suffers in business. Americans have always been proud and conceited. They are Zhongshan wolves, and when they are proud, they are rampant. Angel meets the requirements of Nimitz and MacArthur.

"The total weight of our bombs is about 2 tons, but this is not the heaviest—" Russen said in half.

Beaufort was itching.

"What is the heaviest thing?"

"I can't tell you how much the heaviest bomb is now, but the one used in the Far East last year weighed 2.9 tons." Lusen satisfied Beaufort's curiosity. 2.9 tons is nothing. The heaviest bomb in Britain now is ten Ton.

Of course, the technical content is definitely different.

The British one is an ordinary bomb, even if it weighs a hundred tons, it has nothing to do with precision guidance.

Just next to Lusen and Beaufort, the Southern African military and related personnel of the US military are adjusting equipment.

The equipment on the southern African side was a bit larger, the size of a small room, Beaufort glimpsed, and included a monitor and a joystick.

In contrast, the equipment of the US military is a bit miserable. It is just a remote control the size of a radio. Due to the need for visual guidance, the operators of the US military need to sit by the porthole, and they also need the close cooperation of the driver.

Colonel Beaufort really wanted to visit the small room, but Lu Sen resolutely refused.

It’s good for you to take a look at it from a distance, but if you want to observe it up close, you really don’t treat yourself as an outsider.

"Small bombs have the benefits of small bombs, and they require less space—" Lu Sen's words were full of ridicule.

It's so high-tech!

Remember the remote-controlled toys that Southern African toy companies launched during the Olympics?
I feel that if I take a remote control toy and change it casually, I can also go to the US National Defense Commission to cheat funds.

It can only be said that Americans are really rich.

"The remote control technology you mentioned just now, do you mean Mr. Nikola Tesla's remote control submarine?" Colonel Beaufort finally realized it later.

Lu Sen nodded silently. He is a staff member of the Tesla Research Institute, and there is no point in denying it.

Beaufort frowned.

The scientists, or engineers, taken away from the United States in southern Africa are not only Tesla, but also another great god, Robert Goddard.

Tesla is an expert in electronics. He once served as the vice chairman of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Now he has become a citizen of southern Africa and has long been out of public view. However, the Tesla Research Institute is famous and various new inventions emerge in endlessly.

Robert Geddard is an expert in the field of rockets. He started researching rockets 20 years ago and never showed up again after arriving in southern Africa. However, southern Africa has successfully launched a rocket into space. I don’t know what role Robert Geddard played in it. How useful.

For great masters like Tesla and Goddard, precision-guided bombs are small toys made by hand, just like Tesla developed a remote control system, which is not used in the military field, but authorized to toy companies to produce toys.

Not that Tesla's remote control system has no military potential.

It can only be said that the southern African military does not like it, and there are more advanced systems for the southern African military to choose.

Thinking about it this way, I was horrified.

The speed of the "Super Sky Fortress" was still very fast. Three hours later, the "Super Sky Fortress" arrived at the predetermined position and was ready to attack the target.

This is currently the southernmost port in the Japanese-controlled area. After the Philippines recovered, Japan has shrunk across the board and has completely abandoned Southeast Asia. It is becoming more and more difficult for the Allied forces to launch air strikes on the Japanese mainland.

Japan's combined fleet has been afraid to leave port for a long time. Japan is unable to build new large warships, so it spends more resources on air defense weapons. In recent years, Japan has more and more air defense weapons, but its air defense capabilities have not improved much.
