Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

As the chief of the advisory group sent to the border areas, Philip is undoubtedly a qualified military and diplomatic expert.

During the time he taught in Weihai, he did not relax management due to the small number of people in the team. Instead, he insisted on implementing the basic principle of "strictly demanding oneself before demanding others", and always influenced every colleague with his formal and accurate work style.

Besides.

All members of the advisory group will also organize study groups on Chinese and modern history of the Republic of China in their spare time.

All of this is just to be able to integrate into the larger collective of the North Sea Fleet as soon as possible, which is also the main reason why the two legendary captains appreciate each other.

······
When Philip heard the several proper nouns mentioned by Huang He, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, as if he was thinking of some interesting past events.

"Upgraded air and sea search radars. This is indeed the strength of the Weapons Testing and Research Bureau. In this field, there should be no major force in the world that is stronger than you."

"But are shells using VT proximity fuses really reliable?"

"Huang, I'm not doubting your scientific research capabilities. It's just that from what I know, the reliability of this type of weapon is very low. The stupid British even made a big joke out of it."

As early as the beginning of this world war, Dai Ying, who had a relatively wealthy family, came up with the idea of ​​studying proximity fuses to improve the efficiency of air defense.

It turned out that the British, who had not completely gone downhill, were really capable. It took them only two years to come up with finished weapons that could be mass-produced.

The Royal Navy was even more ecstatic after receiving the new weapons, as if they had found some powerful weapon.

There is no way, the Mediterranean is too brutal. Even a fleet with an armored aircraft carrier as its core cannot withstand the combined attack of underwater villains and aerial villains.

Especially Malta, which is like a meat grinder.

In order to capture the important bases of the Allied forces in the Mediterranean theater, the Italian and German land-based fighters did not even let go of the stray dogs on the roadside, resulting in the RN urgently needing a powerful air defense weapon to break the deadlock.

It's a pity that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. This proximity fuze, which was highly anticipated, failed miserably in its first battle.

The entire support fleet, consisting of several large and small warships, fought dozens of rounds, but the only confirmed record after the entire battle was a Seafire carrier-based fighter from their own side.

When the battle report reached the Free French Navy, it became a topic of conversation among the senior commanders after dinner, and the straightforward Philip even laughed to death.

That is why he lacks confidence in the so-called VT proximity fuze.

Huang He nodded to show his understanding of his allies' concerns and friendly reminders.

Unlike the previous forums where the VT fuze was exaggerated and almost hyped up as a force field shield, now even the parties involved, Ah Chou and Dai Ying, are skeptical about this new weapon.

But it’s not a big problem. Since the founder in the original timeline has not yet made a name for himself, the border area will be the first to try it out.

Leaving a name in the history of world weapons has always been one of Huang He’s few hobbies.

"When it comes to air defense, whether it is World War I or now, it is a system-based operation. It is meaningless to discuss the combat efficiency and success of a piece of equipment without considering the system."

"The reason why the proximity fuse with British blasting is so poor is largely due to the old HACS anti-aircraft fire control system."

"But we are different. The Weapons Experimental Research Bureau has specially developed a whole system. I will now explain the general principles to you. When the Ugly Country's trading fleet arrives, we can go aboard to change the equipment and put it into practice."

Take the most classic 127mm dual-purpose anti-aircraft and anti-tank gun as an example. The detection radius of the 127 artillery shell equipped with a VT fuze is about 25 meters.

The one produced by the Weapons Testing and Research Bureau is a little stronger, but the limit is only 30 meters.

Without reliable fire control system guidance, there is no rangefinder and radar to obtain the position, altitude, speed and direction of movement of enemy aircraft relative to the main gun.

Then the impact point of the shell will deviate from the target, eventually causing the VT fuse to fail to explode and fall directly into the sea intact.

Huang He’s explanation and teaching were easy to understand, and in just a few words, everyone present had a general understanding of the working principles of the new equipment.

Of course, the VT proximity fuse is not without its shortcomings. Otherwise, a certain C-series anti-aircraft gun in Magic Thunder would not have to rely on being a tank destroyer to survive.

If the reliability defect is not resolved, it is hard to say which one is higher, its air defense efficiency or its delayed fuze.

"The reliability that Philip mentioned just now is actually a question of the quality of the assembled parts. This thing uses vacuum tubes, batteries, and a large number of circuit components. It can be considered a precision instrument."

"As long as we overcome the difficulties of vacuum tube rupture and leakage, battery fluid deterioration and leakage, and circuit board short circuit and open circuit, the life and reliability of the new shells will be greatly improved." "Ahem, I am not talented, but the Weapon Experimental Research Bureau I lead is the authority in this field. Even if the bureau stays where it is, it will take Chouguo and Daiying several years to catch up with us."

According to Achou's post-war summary, the average detonation rate of the first wave of new artillery shells they produced at the end of 1942 was less than half.

Even after repeated improvements, the air defense efficiency of the VT fuze within two years could not reach the average level of ordinary time-delay fuzes.

Even during the Battle of Okinawa in April 1945, Ah Chou and Dai Ying were still plagued by fuze failures and malfunctions. Some battleship captains even refused to use unreliable equipment in public.

However, the above problems are not unsolvable. A series of difficulties were almost all solved after the war. The continuous improvement of structural design and production technology finally made the VT fuze complete.

Okay, so the question is, what are the two old things that a certain 7+ coloring game small country starts with?
Isn't it just light bulb-electronic mechanical engineering and wrench-machine tool.

With the assistance of the Awakening Brave Tiger system, the electronic mechanical engineering technology of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau has long been the best in the world, so the Border Area version of the VT fuze is almost the ultimate version of World War II when it was born.

After the teaching was over, Huang He began to sort out the documents on his desk. Looking at the three old comrades who seemed to understand, he smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand the specific principles. You are users, not developers. There is really no need to be so serious."

"By the way, no matter how powerful the new weapons are, they are only defensive equipment. I personally think that the best tactic for air defense is to directly attack the enemy's airports and aircraft carriers."

"After all, even if North Carolina or Richelieu led the team, she couldn't hold on."

Before Huang He finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the office. Seeing this, the four of them temporarily stopped teaching and moved their targets outside the house.

After a while, the visitor pushed open the door and it turned out to be the current political commissar of the Naval Academy.

"Everyone, something big has happened!"

"Just now, Chief of Staff Liu sent a telegram saying that the Ugly Country's trading fleet was attacked by the Japanese in the northwest corner of the Tsushima Strait. Their flagship was seriously damaged in the battle and there is a risk of sinking."

"The Air Force has already sent out a second wave of support troops, and Captain Wang Hai officially joined up with them ten minutes ago. If everything goes well, the Ugly People will probably arrive at Liugong Island in the evening."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of several people in the office changed, obviously shocked by the sudden news.

Among them, Director Xiao and Mr. Sa were the most distressed. After all, the Fletcher-class destroyer was the only advanced ship that the border area could get at this stage.

Now that they were attacked on the road, they were naturally upset and angry.

"Okay, I got it! Notify the Naval Academy and ask the teachers and students to vacate the dock and have everyone prepare for emergency repairs. Apply what you have learned. Now is the time to verify what you have learned!"

"Call 101 again and ask him to come to Liugong Island."

"As the highest-ranking commander in the entire Shandong Province, he must be in charge of the entire handover ceremony."

"Roger that!"

In comparison, Philip's condition was obviously much better, and he looked mentally prepared.

There is no other way. The straight-line distance from the Russians to Liugong Island is thousands of kilometers. Considering the sea conditions and the strength of the Japanese navy, this route is really not much safer than the Mediterranean.

Before this, he had even made a plan to cut the transaction reward in half. Now, the maximum loss was a destroyer, which could be said to be a complete profit.

"Huang, it seems that we still need to strengthen our air force. Without sufficient escort forces, our Toulon Fleet and North African Fleet will not be able to travel between the Republic of China and West Africa."

"Don't forget Fleet Z. We must learn from the British experience."

After saying this, Philip looked at the Yellow River and even nudged his colleague with his elbow.

Either explode in silence or perish in silence. Huang was obviously the former. He slammed the documents on the table and roared in a completely crazy tone:
"Damn it! That Fletcher is a new ship I just bought and I haven't even seen her in person yet!"

"Yamamoto Isoroku, you're dead! Ah Chou, don't even think about snatching your life from me! In two years, I will definitely get hundreds of cat sharks and archerfish to suffocate you to death on this broken island!"

"Yamato, Musashi and Shinano, right? If these three ships can sail into the depths of the Pacific Ocean, I will lose!" (End of this chapter)
