mixed in the war

"I really wanted to attack Hankou Airport, but with the arrogance of the Japanese at this time, they definitely would not have thought that we would do this. Therefore, we have a high possibility of success. We can even directly destroy the Japanese at Wangjiadun Airport." Most of them, or even all of them!" In the living room of the Bai Mansion, Qin Wei took a sip of water and continued, "But have you ever thought about it? We did that and achieved our goal. What would the Japanese do?"

"Based on the character of the Japanese, they will gather more planes in the shortest possible time and retaliate by bombing Chongqing and even the big cities in the entire Kuomintang-controlled area." He Yingqin said.

"That's right, they will retaliate." Qin Wei sighed, "This is where we are most helpless. We have too few planes and too few pilots. One or two sorties is fine, but it cannot withstand long-term wear and tear, let alone escort The airspace of the entire Kuomintang-controlled area. The Japanese not only have far more aircraft than us, but their domestic aircraft manufacturing industry is also far more developed than ours. They can manufacture [-] aircraft a year, but we can't manufacture a single one. … In addition, we can only buy foreign aircraft, and these aircraft will certainly not be the most advanced in the hands of foreigners. But what about the Japanese? They can continue to develop, through the pilots in flight and combat The various data obtained modify the original design, and even carry out an updated design. This makes their aircraft more and more advanced, and even surpasses all current aircraft types in the world..."

"This is indeed the biggest weakness of the Chinese Air Force. But General Qin, you said that the Japanese can design a new type of fighter that surpasses all types of aircraft in the world. Is this a casual prediction, or is it your real idea?" Chennault asked suddenly .

"Colonel, do you think Japan can't do this?" Qin Wei asked back.

"They can't do it." Chennault snorted. "I admit it. The Japanese do have incredible courage on the battlefield, whether it's in the air, sea, or land. But they can't design anything beyond that." New fighter jets all over the world. Because it's just not possible."

"Although I hate the Japanese, I have to say something, Colonel, you are belittling the abilities of yellow people with the arrogance of a white man." Qin Wei's expression changed, and he said sternly.

"I don't mean to belittle anyone. I'm just expressing my own judgment." Chennault said loudly: "The Japanese do not have such design capabilities. The reason why I dare to draw such a conclusion is because aircraft, like battleships, require technology The accumulation. But the Japanese obviously do not have the technical power of European countries.”

"The Japanese are no longer behind Europe and the United States in the design and manufacture of ships, and the aircraft only entered the battlefield during World War I. The Japanese are not much later than Europe and the United States. Moreover. Facts have proved that the Japanese have indeed gone It's ahead. They have designed a brand new fighter, which is very powerful. At least in terms of various statistics, it can be said to have completely surpassed all the fighters in the world!" Qin Wei said in a deep voice.

"This is impossible!" Chennault's face changed drastically, "This is absolutely impossible."

"Qin Wei. You mean..." Song Meiling's face suddenly turned pale, "That new fighter jet from Mitsubishi?"

"If I remember correctly. One month ago. The Japanese had already completed the test flight of the new model. All the data were fully up to the standard. And within a year, this new fighter will fly to the battlefield! But now the whole world I haven't realized that the Japanese planes are ahead." Qin Wei sighed sadly.

"..."

Song Meiling was silent, just picked up the teacup and dropped it back on the table... These days she has been busy with Air Force matters, and as the Air Force Commander, although she is not very familiar with the data of various aircraft.But she also understood what the data recorded on the piece of paper Qin Wei gave her back then represented.That's a win!She once showed Zhou Zhirou those data, and Zhou Zhirou gave her the answer: there is no such aircraft.If there is, then China's existing fighter jets will have no resistance at all.

"Husband, madam." Zhou Zhirou seemed to have thought of something, and when he saw Song Meiling's appearance, his face became even more ugly: "You, you are talking about the fighter jet that you asked me about the data?"

"That's right." Soong Meiling closed her eyes in pain, "That's the one!"

"It's impossible." Zhou Zhirou's eyes were blank, but she just kept shaking her head, "There are only two types of fighter jets, one that focuses on combat and one that focuses on speed. How can there be an aircraft that can satisfy both high speed and combat maneuverability? This is absolutely impossible. Impossible! Impossible!"

"what are you guys saying?"

Chennault also noticed that something was wrong.But he still didn't quite understand what was going on.It seems that it is because the Japanese have a new type of fighter, and this fighter is very powerful...

"It's troublesome."

He Yingqin sighed softly with a gloomy face.

"Chief Qin, can, can you tell us about this new type of aircraft?" Wang Shuming was sweating nervously.The performance of Song Meiling, He Yingqin and Zhou Zhirou has already explained the problem.But he was still not reconciled.Although the Chinese Air Force they led was at a disadvantage in the air battle with the Japanese, it was not a crime of war.But now, Qin Wei said that they would be powerless to fight back soon... Doesn't that mean that their pilots will die if they go to the sky to fight the Japanese in the future?

"This new type of Japanese aircraft has a design speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, a range of 3000 kilometers, and can climb to an altitude of 3 meters in 30 minutes and 3000 seconds. Two machine guns and two 96-kilogram bombs. The Japanese named it a20m2. This type of aircraft has high speed, enhanced firepower, and strong maneuverability. It can almost be said to be a "universal fighter"!"

"What?" Hearing these data, Chennault immediately jumped up, "You mean this is a fighter jet? Are you sure it's not a bomber or something else? No, no, no, it can't be a bomber. Climbing to a height of 3000 meters within a short period of time, it is impossible to have a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour..."

"Actually, during the test flight, the speed of this aircraft reached 533 kilometers per hour!" Qin Wei said.

"..."

Chennault's words were directly blocked back into his mouth.After being stunned for a while, he sat back on the sofa.

"Since there is data on this new aircraft, then Chief of Staff Qin must know its development process?" Chen Lifu asked suddenly.

"Know a little."

"Really?" Several air force generals raised their heads almost simultaneously.Knowing the development process, then, doesn't this mean knowing how to make this kind of aircraft?That's right, China can't make it, but it can't support us now that we have money.Moreover, if it is known that the Japanese have this kind of fighter jet, those foreign devils will definitely be very interested.

"Of course it is true. But the question is, what's the use of knowing?" Qin Wei snorted coldly, and mercilessly put out the fire of everyone's hope: "The designer of this new type of a6m1 fighter is Mitsubishi Corporation. Yue Erlang. Because the design requirements put forward by the Japanese military were extremely abnormal, his design was also abnormal. In order to meet the high-speed requirements, he boldly took all measures to reduce the weight of the aircraft. For example, the rivets were reduced from 3.5mm to 3mm, without having to All the riveted places are not riveted; a large number of small holes are drilled on the components, etc. At the same time, in order to reduce the weight of the aircraft, the safety protection for the pilot is also given up. A design method that completely disregards the safety of the pilots. Besides Japan, which other country's air force will adopt it?"

"The most important thing is that this new type of fighter jet of the Japanese uses a 50-wind metal newly developed by Sumitomo Metal. This metal is a super aluminum alloy. It is harder than steel and light in weight. It is the most critical reason for the success of this new fighter. Therefore, even if we know the development process of this fighter, and even the fuselage structure, it is impossible to build the same aircraft. Let alone restraint. "He Yingqin also said quietly.

"Actually, you can restrain yourself." Qin Wei sighed.

"Can it be restrained?"

Except for Song Meiling, He Yingqin, and Zhou Zhirou, the others turned their attention to Qin Wei again, but they found that Qin Wei was looking at Song Meiling.However, when everyone cast doubtful eyes on the first lady.Soong Meiling stood up:

"This is my fault. I will take all the responsibilities. But the problem now is that the Japanese may only give us half a year to a year. Qin Wei, since you have a plan, hurry up and say it. At least, Before this new type of fighter jet of the Japanese officially enters the battle, we have to win a battle. We must let the Chinese people know that my air force is not for dry food."

"As you wish. But it will require the full support of all parties."

"I guarantee that you will have the support of everyone, including the chairman." Soong Meiling said with a cold face, "Anyone who dares to trip you at this time will be making things difficult for me. If that's the case, I promise, he will pay Unimaginable price!"

"..."

Madam Jiang lost her temper.

Almost everyone sat up straight unconsciously.

Most people don't know why Soong Meiling suddenly became so angry.Although this woman didn't have a serious face, they knew that Song Meiling was definitely not joking.Anyone who dares to play any monster with Qin Wei at this time will inevitably be attacked by this woman... Thinking about the power behind this woman makes people shudder.

"Mr. He, I need to mobilize an army." Song Meiling's full support is actually no less than Chiang Kai-shek's, and even more so.Because behind Song Meiling is not just Chiang Kai-shek.Qin Wei knew that at this moment, his power was enormous.So he was not polite, and went to He Yingqin first.

"As long as it can be dispatched, all troops in Chongqing, at the regiment level and below, are at your disposal! Above the regiment level, I will deal with them in the shortest possible time." He Yingqin complained a little bit about Song Meiling.If it wasn't for this woman's cleverness and listening to some people, she thought that the Japanese could not develop new fighter jets, and didn't go to an American company to help develop new fighter jets as Qin Wei reminded in advance, then they don't have to worry about the possibility at any time. Bombs falling from the sky.But now is not the time for infighting.He can't take care of this woman, so he can only leave it to Lao Jiang himself.He still has to cooperate with the opponent now, at least to clean up the Japanese air force first.Being thrown bombs in the sky all day is really hard to live.

"I don't want a combat force. I want an engineer. I want to build a steel factory in Qijiang County in the shortest possible time!" (To be continued...)
