Opening game, American Tycoon

Although these seem somewhat similar to study rooms, the office area is not that large.But standing here, Zhao Dekun looked extremely nervous.

What he was facing now was an imperial general, a lieutenant general.When Wu Anpeng asked him if he had any relationship with the military that day, he just smiled, and he did have a little relationship with the military.

"The Imperial Army needs big planes!"

Wang Wenju looked at the young man in front of him with great interest.

"Because this war will definitely continue!"

Even though he was facing a Lieutenant General of the Imperial Army, Zhao Dekun didn't appear cautious, Lieutenant General...that's just Lieutenant General.

"..."The Big Bombing of New York" has proved to the world that the large-scale bombing of the enemy's cities will directly affect the outcome of the war, and it is even possible to win the war only through air bombing. But at present In view of the widespread use of aircraft, although clumsy and flammable airships can continue to function by increasing their height, it is well known that airships with poor survivability are destined to be eliminated, and the current aircraft carry a small amount of ammunition. The voyage is short, and only front-line tactical bombing can be carried out. For large-scale bombing of important strategic targets such as cities and transportation hubs, a dedicated bomber must be used. Its bomb load is not just a few hundred kilograms but at least one ton. Only in this way can these needs be met!"

In fact, Zhao Dekun's explanation is not needed. Wang Wenju also knows the meaning of bombers. Bombing must be carried out by special bombers to achieve better results, and the research institute is currently researching a new type of large bomber.

"Indeed."

Nodding slightly, Wang Wenju didn't talk about bombers with him, but changed the topic and asked.

"Is your father in good health recently?"

Uh, Zhao Dekun quickly answered the question that came out of nowhere.

"My father has always been in good health. Knowing that I came to see the general, he specially asked me to say hello to you, the general."

"You don't need to be so polite between us. After all, your father is also my soldier. When he first came to Nanhua, I was his captain. At that time, you were only six years old. At that time, the school had not yet been built, and your father opened up wasteland. At that time, you ran to the team all day..."

When people get old, it is inevitable that they will miss the old days. Zhao Dekun’s father, Zhao Chengye, was the second batch of immigrants. At that time, Wang Wenju was still called Wang Er, who was known as the “Eighteen Arhats” of the boss. Zhao Chengye is the captain of his immigration team.

Listening to Wang Wenju's story about the early years, Zhao Dekun naturally recalled the past. In fact, it was this old relationship that allowed him to walk into the office of the Lieutenant General of the Empire. Channels, first submit an application, then show it to the military, and then decide whether to purchase it after passing the military's evaluation.This process seems simple, but the actual process is very cumbersome. The application of the engine of the simplest example prototype takes at least three months.

The reason why he asked to see Wang Wenju was to shorten the process through the presence of the lieutenant general of the empire. Of course, more importantly, he needed financial and technical support from the military.

There are people in the DPRK and China who are good at handling things. Many things are as simple as this. Usually, it needs a lot of approvals. It takes at least three months to apply for a new type of high-power aero-engine. It took only half a month to be sent to the Blue Sky Glider Company.

With the engine, everything couldn’t be easier. In the following days, Zhao Dekun and Wu Anpeng, as well as the technicians and workers in the factory, were busy together, from studying the installation position of the engine, to drawing the drawing of the engine compartment, and then to the power supply. How the cabin connects to the wing.

That is, when they surrounded the large glider, improving the gliding wings little by little, and trying to install power for it, in the Xiangtian Company in Yizhou, more than ten officers and technicians stood In front of a hangar, Li Lin, the most famous aviation expert in the empire, introduced the heavy bomber they developed.

"...Although the new bomber adopts a double-wing structure, its body is stronger. The basic structure is welded by steel hollow trusses, covered with wooden and cloth skin structures. Install three 240-horsepower aircraft newly developed by the power company. Radial engine. The crew is 5 people, namely the front shooter and bomb aimer, the driver, the navigator and the left and right shooters. It is equipped with four 7.5mm aviation machine guns. It can carry 1200 kg of bombs. The empty weight is 4780 kg, and the maximum speed is 185 kilometers per hour. The maximum ceiling is 3850 meters, and the maximum range is 2400 kilometers, which can be used to bomb the enemy's deep targets in all directions!"

Facing more than ten air force officers, Li Lin proudly introduced the performance of the new bomber to them. It is the world's first large-scale long-range bomber. He firmly believes that it will replace the airship and become the real king of the air .

This aircraft embodies Li Lin's painstaking efforts. On the surface, it seems to be a product of enlargement on the basis of the Haidongqing aircraft, but in fact, it is not a simple enlargement. Many of them are Li Lin's groundbreaking designs. , Such as the closed and connected cockpit, the bomb pylons inside, the self-defense machine guns on both sides of the cabin, and so on.

In a word, although this bomber is the first bomber in the world, in his opinion, it is definitely a perfect bomber

"Mr. Li, its bomb load is 1.2 tons, which is equivalent to the load of four Sea Holly aircraft?"

An air force officer asked angrily.

"Yes,"

"I noticed that it uses three engines, which is similar in power to four Sea Hollys, but what about the cost? Does it cost more than four single-engine planes?"

Faced with doubts, Li Lin quickly explained.

"1.2 tons is just the current ammunition load, I believe that with continuous improvement, its ammunition load will also increase, and, compared with ordinary single-engine aircraft, it is more survivable, and multiple machine guns provide Protection, it can directly bomb the enemy country in depth without relying on escort, with it, the cities of the United States, Britain, and Germany will all be the targets of our bombing, and it will enable us to win this war!"

As an aeronautical engineer, Li Lin has [-]% confidence in the development of his own aircraft. The powerful engine and solid body structure, coupled with powerful firepower, will definitely make it a fortress in the sky.

Moreover, the large body structure also allows it to increase its combat effectiveness by increasing the ammunition load, adding self-defense machine guns, etc. to continue to transform.

His answer made the officers present nodded in agreement. At this moment, the door of the hangar that had been closed was pushed open by two company employees.In the middle of the hangar, a large biplane triple-engine aircraft with a wingspan of more than 20 meters broke into everyone's sight.

When this heavy double-wing three-engine bomber representing the most advanced aviation technology of the empire came into people's sight, the officers on the scene all opened their mouths in astonishment... This plane is really too huge!

It is completely different from the small toy-like planes in the past. Just looking at this huge bomber, they can feel what this bomber will bring to the world in the war...
