Chapter 1788 Fighter Plane Development
The chief was right. At this time, Wang Xuexin was indeed considering developing a new fighter.

It should be said that the Eighth Route Army does not have much need to develop new fighters at this time.

The main reason is that the current fighter planes of the Eighth Route Army are sufficient for the Eighth Route Army in terms of overall strategy.

The enemy of the Eighth Route Army is the devils. Because of the limitations of the aero engines, the devils have not improved their fighters much, and there are even situations where the improvement is getting worse... The thrust of the engine and the technical level are there. In the early days, it was because the devils reduced the weight to the extreme. It has great advantages in maneuverability and range.

But with the development of the war, this advantage not only failed to defeat Ying Jiang, but was crushed by Ying Jiang. At this time, the devil wanted to improve its firepower and defense.

As a result of this improvement, the "Zero Type" was changed to the point where it lost even its original advantages, making it even more impossible to compete with Eagle Sauce on the battlefield.

Therefore, fighter planes and engines have always played a decisive role. After all, going to extremes like the Devil's "Zero War" is a minority, and they can only achieve temporary success.

In the case of the slow development of Devil's aviation equipment, the Eighth Route Army has "La 5", "Wildcat" and "Meteor" jet fighters that never set. Night fighter.

If necessary, the Eighth Route Army can also purchase "Hellcat" fighters from Yingjiang.

Coupled with the fact that the Eighth Route Army still has air-to-air missiles, it is not difficult to defeat the Devils Air Force and gain air supremacy.

But Wang Xuexin knows that air dominance in future wars is of decisive significance, so he should not focus on the present.

What's more, each of these fighters looks very tall, but they actually have their own shortcomings:
The shortcomings of "La 5" are obvious. The short range makes the Eighth Route Army aviation have stronger combat effectiveness in the air above the battlefield, but it has been repeatedly suppressed by "zero battles".

The overall performance of the "Wildcat" is much worse than that of the devil's "Zero War".

Needless to say, the "Hellcat" requires a long take-off and landing distance, not to mention the difficulty of take-off and landing and control, and the Eighth Route Army will be further restricted by Yingjiang.

As for the "Meteor" fighter that the sun never sets, although it is a jet fighter and its speed is much faster than that of the "Zero Fighter", it is a new fighter and it is still an experimental jet fighter, so the high failure rate is inevitable... When the "Meteor" fighter was put into the battlefield in 1943, it was because of the needs of the war that the immature fighter had to be put into actual combat. This caused it to have no outstanding performance in the war even though it was a new generation of jet fighter.

So Wang Xuexin was thinking about a question:
Hans, the sun never sets, and Yingjiang all have their own jet fighters, and even the devils have their own jet fighters in the later stage... Devils have been developing since 1944, and it took less than a year to develop the "Nakajima" Orange Blossom" jet fighter.

However, it is not accurate to say "research and development", because it is a complete imitation of its ME262 with the technology bought from Hans.

So, why can't the Eighth Route Army have its own jet fighters!
Which jet fighter to develop?
Improvements to "Meteor"?
Or imitate ME262?

When Wang Xuexin raised this issue at the research institute, the latter was immediately rejected.

He Zhimin is an expert in this area, he said: "Commander, we don't know anything about Hans' jet aircraft, but we have the entire production line of 'Meteor' fighter jets, we can even produce its engines , if you want to choose, of course it is to improve the 'Meteor' to be more realistic!"

Wang Xuexin only asked one question: "Do you have any improvement plan?"

Everyone in the audience, including He Zhimin, dared not speak.

Jet fighters require a high level of industrial technology, and until now the Huaxia Research Institute has not dared to fully understand it.

Su Xin asked with some confusion: "Does the regiment leader want to learn from Hans's jet aircraft and combine the strengths of hundreds of schools? But...where did we get the information about Hans's jet aircraft?" Wang Xuexin did not answer.

After a while, he said: "We don't necessarily need to follow the path of others. For example, the 'Meteor' fighter, although we have mastered many of its technologies and have a production line, these things are developed by the sun never sets, they taught us The technology is likely to be one generation behind, or some problems that have been solved, but they deliberately say that they have to be solved, which will make us never lag behind the sun and cannot develop!"

The researchers in the conference room couldn't help but nodded in agreement. They encountered many such problems in the process of imitation and learning, and sometimes even the techniques taught to the researchers by the engineers who never set the sun were contradictory.

When the researcher found out this point and questioned it, the engineer on which the sun never sets replied lightly that it was wrong.

No one knows whether it is true or not, but if this happens too much, people will naturally suspect that the sun never sets has ulterior motives.

From this point of view, Sun Never Sets is actually not as grand as Yingjiang, and Yingjiang rarely engages in small tricks in this regard.

However, this may also be because Yingjiang and the Eighth Route Army have a common enemy, devils.

The enemy that the sun never sets is mainly Hans, and the Huaxia battlefield treats him with no pain or itching, and can even indirectly drag Yingjiang.

These are common to Wang Xuexin, because modern China has gone through too many imitation roads and suffered too much imitation.

At the same time, Wang Xuexin also understands that there is no way out to imitate by following the opponent all the time, it will only be suppressed, controlled or even biased by the opponent.

After the imitation reaches a certain level, it should break the status quo and actively innovate.

Of course, the Eighth Route Army at this time may not have reached the level of innovation.

But if Wang Xuexin is there... is innovation still a problem?

Su Xin also saw it in the same way. She got up and asked, "Commander, but do we have any other options now? The commander keeps making jokes. We haven't fully mastered the existing jet fighter technology. At this time, we want to get rid of the fact that the sun never sets." Is it too early for this 'Master'?"

Wang Xuexin said: "You may not know that Mao Xiong also has research on jet fighters, but it is at a relatively backward stage, especially jet engines. So I was thinking, can we use Mao Xiong's design and Japan's different With the advanced engine technology, we can make our own way!"

After hearing this, the researcher understood Wang Xuexin's true thoughts.

In fact, this is not Wang Xuexin's real idea.

What Wang Xuexin really thinks in his heart is...will the researchers put a hundred question marks in their minds if Mao Xiong's future jet fighter is brought to this era in advance?

Now it can be regarded as a foreshadowing and vaccination.

One day in the future, when Wang Xuexin comes up with a design and tells them that he bought it from Mao Xiong, they won't be surprised!
