Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1365 Technical Advantages

The biggest advantage of helicopters is that they are used in mountainous areas and areas with complex terrain to assist in the transportation and combat of infantry.

This cannot be replaced by high-speed fighters and bombers. It is not easy for them to accurately search for targets on the plains, let alone in the mountains with complex terrain.

For example, if a transport plane wants to deliver supplies to the ground troops, it can only be parachuted, but if it is parachuted in a mountainous area, it may be another mountain or the bottom of a cliff, or even an area controlled by the enemy. The ground troops want to get Airdrops are sometimes simply impossible.

Helicopters are different. It can accurately lift supplies to the ground troops, and only needs a small space to become a landing pad for helicopters to take off and land. It can transport personnel and supplies back and forth. Hyundai is also known as the "air truck" by the infantry.

At this time, whether the Eighth Route Army was defending Datong or infiltrating the Northeast, it was fighting in mountainous terrain with complex terrain:
The direction of Datong is to fight in the two directions of Yinshan Mountain and Taihang Mountain. Although this direction is relatively easy to supply, after all, it is only about 100 kilometers away from Datong and most of the distance is supported by roads, but the troops here are fighting regular battles with devils. The amount of supplies needed is huge, and sometimes it is inevitable that they will be blocked by devils.

If there is a helicopter...they can directly provide transportation for the Eighth Route Army from Datong, which not only saves time and effort, but also avoids being blocked by devils.

This is even more so in the northeast direction.

From Yanshan to the north all the way to Daxing'anling, there are all mountainous areas. Although the troops need little supplies, the transportation is difficult for a long time, which once caused Wang Xuexin a headache.

If there are helicopters taking off from Zhangjiakou to provide supplies for the mountain troops, it will solve Wang Xuexin's heart problem.

Ying Jiang started a discussion after receiving Sun Erwei's telegram.

The main reason is that helicopters are still highly classified in Yingchan at this time, and Yingchan's own troops are not even equipped... The helicopters used by Yingchan for transportation were not put into military use until after the war, that is, during the period of the Volunteer Army. At this time, they are still undergoing transformation and upgrading. stage.

In fact, Eagle Sauce has not paid much attention to the development of helicopters before this.

Mainly because the Eagle Sauce didn't realize the value of helicopters...they didn't understand what use such slow and unstable helicopters would be on the battlefield.

It wasn't until Hans used their helicopters for mountain warfare to transport supplies that Eagle Sauce suddenly discovered that this thing is actually an artifact of mountain transportation... It takes a few days or even ten days for ordinary transport troops to deliver supplies, but the helicopter only needs the engine to be turned on , "Tu Tu Tu" was transported up in ten or ten minutes, and crossing the mountain was like playing.

Since then, Eagle Sauce began to attach importance to the development of helicopters in the military field.

It's just that he started late and now he can't keep up with Hans' footsteps.

However, Ying Jiang is not very worried about this... because helicopters need air supremacy, and if there is no air supremacy, helicopters are the targets of fighter jets, even transport planes, and bombers.

(Helicopters in this period are so fragile that they can almost fall out of the air with a light touch)
At this time, Hans has gradually lost his air supremacy, so of course Eagle Sauce doesn't need to worry about this kind of equipment based on air supremacy.

It's just that now, can such a kind of advanced equipment for Yingjiang be provided to the Eighth Route Army?
The admiral knocked on the table to express his concern: "Gentlemen, if it was in the past, it would be no problem to provide this technology to the Eighth Route Army, because even if we provided it to them, they would not be able to imitate it, let alone learn it. They don't have such a technology." Industrial base and technology. But now... the Eighth Route Army has been able to produce 'La 5' fighter jets, as well as automobile engines, and they even surpassed the sun never sets in terms of computers. In this case, we also provide our most advanced helicopter technology For the Eighth Route Army, will one day cause us to be overtaken by the Eighth Route Army?"

From a national point of view, the admiral's worries are justified. No one is willing to pass on their own advanced technology to other countries to cause trouble for themselves.

But Doolittle said helplessly: "General, unfortunately, the Eighth Route Army also thinks the same way, and they are not willing to give up their technological advantages easily!"

The admiral was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded thoughtfully. He knew that Dolittle was talking about computer technology.

After thinking about it, the admiral asked: "So, can't our scientists independently develop relay computers? I heard that relay computers simply replace mechanical components with relays, so why use helicopters to replace them? What about technology?"

Doolittle replied: "About this point, I consulted our scientists. Although it is true that the mechanical components are replaced by relays, there are several problems that cannot be solved, such as the problem of data storage and input... This point is mechanical. Components have the inherent advantage that they don't need to be powered on to store data!"

Wang Xuexin has encountered this problem before.

If the Eagle Sauce scientist finally finds out that this can be done with a bit of paper tape, I'm afraid he will faint...

But science and technology are often like this. If you know it, you will have an advantage, but if you don’t know it, you will fall into trouble.

At this time, Ying Jiang was already in trouble, and he had to pay a price to get out of it.

Seeing that the admiral was still hesitating, Doolittle added: "General, the current situation is obvious. We are already behind in the direction of computers. We must continue to lag behind, or..."

Needless to say, the next thing is to give up a technology in exchange for the advancement of computers.

As for which one to choose, it depends on which one is more important.

The admiral thought about it for a while, and then said: "Actually, we have no advantage in helicopters!"

The admiral was right. At this time, Hans has surpassed Eagle Sauce in terms of helicopters, especially in the military field.So, for Eagle Sauce, it is obviously cost-effective to exchange a not-so-advanced technology for a world-leading and quite important technology.

Thinking about it, the admiral nodded and said, "Then why are we hesitating? Let's make a deal!"

So, Sun Erwei on the other side returned to Wang Xuexin's headquarters excitedly, and said, "Wang, we have helicopters, and the superiors have agreed to the deal. Tell me, how many helicopters do you need?"

"No, Sun Erwei!" Wang Xuexin replied without thinking: "What we need is not how many helicopters, what we need is the ability to produce helicopters!"

Sun Erwei was so shocked that he didn't realize it for a long time... What this guy wants is a helicopter production line?
The price is too outrageous!
