Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 1424 PPT is a big scam (first update, please subscribe)
The wheel of history often turns inadvertently. In this midsummer, in London, history turned in a very magical way in an unknown direction.

What's the future?

No one knows that for the people of London, all they need is to enjoy the summer sunshine.

On the banks of the Thames, there are always groups of people enjoying the sunshine and life.

Meanwhile, on Whitehall Street, inside the Ministry of Defense building.

A dozen Royal Air Force generals were staring at the slides in front of them. Although the lights in the conference room had been turned off, there was an unconcealable look in the eyes of these generals.

Not to mention them, even the liaison officers from Commonwealth countries such as Canada and Australia in London rushed to this place after hearing the news.

And now, what is presented before their eyes?
It's a miracle!
A miraculous idea!
What is the most attractive thing for soldiers?
Of course it’s weapons.

And it's the most advanced weapon.

just now!

It's now!

How could they not be excited when they saw the world's most advanced weapon right before their eyes?

"...As I mentioned before, at present, the biggest threat to countries like Britain and Canada is not ordinary air combat, but Russia's strategic bombers..."

As Yu Hongji spoke, he switched slides and introduced:
"These are Soviet TU16 bombers and MiG-4 strategic bombers. According to the Soviet army's basic operational concept, they will use bombers to carry out nuclear raids on Western European countries and Canada as soon as the war breaks out. However, their bombers will not fly over cities to carry out bombings like they did in World War II."

When he said this, the assistant had automatically switched the slides, and a missile appeared on the screen.

"This is the AS-5 Salmon air-to-ground missile that the Soviet Union has just put into service. According to our intelligence, not only can the MiG-4 long-range bomber carry this missile with a range of more than 200 kilometers, but we also discovered for the first time that it was carried by the TU16. It is not just an ordinary anti-ship missile, it can be used for anti-ship purposes, and can also be used to attack important targets such as large railway bridges and power stations.

But its more important purpose is to carry nuclear warheads with an equivalent of more than 300 million tons after the outbreak of war and launch nuclear raids on cities such as London, Berlin, Paris, Stockholm, and Oslo. We believe that if it uses nuclear warheads, its range may extend to more than 300 kilometers, which means that they can launch missiles hundreds of kilometers away..."

Facing these generals in front of him, Yu Hongji described to them what might happen in as much detail as possible.
What would happen is very simple: TU16s would come in groups, and then from more than 200 miles away, they would launch a rain of air-to-ground missiles. The nuclear warheads carried on those missiles, which fly at speeds exceeding Mach 1.3, would raze the entire UK to the ground.

Here, the generals and staff of the Royal Air Force have been replaying this scene over and over again in the past days, and it has long been deeply rooted in people's minds!

In other words, they were already filled with fear to the core. Even when Yu Hongji said all this, several officers nervously took out their cigarettes, lit them, and started smoking.

Only they know how terrifying such a scene is!
That's the end of the world!

Once that happens, the whole of Britain will disappear from the world. After all, Britain... is too fucking small!
It only takes a few dozen nuclear bombs to destroy this country! It can completely wipe out Britain from the face of the earth!

It is for this reason that these people continue to study various ways to protect themselves, but after studying again and again, they only get one result - it's all over!
Under conditions of nuclear war, there is no chance that Britain will survive!
The more they studied this situation, the more desperate they became, and it even led several Royal Air Force officers to commit suicide. After all, there were always people who could not bear this kind of despair.

"So, now, we need to solve this problem fundamentally... and this is the solution I give to you and to the UK, a solution that can save the UK!"

Although the words fell, the assistant did not switch the slides, and Yu Hongji's eyes wandered around these people. After a slight pause, he said:

"Just now, on the way here, I thought of the Battle of Britain that I experienced when I was studying in the UK. At that time, the whole of Great Britain was protected by the Royal Air Force. When the Royal Air Force won the air battle, Prime Minister Churchill once said: "In the field of human warfare, never before have so few people made such a great contribution to so many people." And now..."

Yu Hongji spoke in a solemn tone as he recounted this air battle in which these Royal Air Force generals had participated.

"History has once again entrusted the Royal Air Force with the important task of defending Britain, and it... is the Spitfire of the new era!"

The next moment, a new slide appeared on the screen, and the image of a fighter plane appeared in the sight of these generals.

Although it was just a simple picture, these Royal Air Force generals could still see that this was a heavy fighter.

Twin tails, twin engines, and even the wings of the fighter are double delta. Of course, they don't know that the design of the double delta wing is actually to enhance its air combat capability. After all, for engineers who are used to pursuing aircraft maneuverability, they are not satisfied with making a flying brick.

"Is this the plan you brought?"

"No, it's not what I brought, it's what the RAF needs!"

In response to the question, Yu Hongji said directly:
"It is the only interceptor in the world that can fly to an altitude of 30000 meters and at three times the speed of sound..."

Three times the speed of sound!
Thirty thousand meters above the ground!
In an instant, everyone was stunned. A general with a cigar in his mouth even opened his eyes wide and stared at the picture - can this guy really fly so fast?
"Unlike ordinary fighters, its mission is to intercept Soviet bomber groups at the first opportunity of the outbreak of war, based on the intelligence provided by early warning aircraft and Allied ground radars, when the Soviet bomber groups are far away from Britain, for example, 1000 miles away. In this process, it will first cruise at more than 2 times the speed of sound. If necessary, it can fly at 3 times the speed of sound to gain interception time. The Soviet bombers were intercepted by it before they even flew over the Barents Sea. As soon as they left the door, they were intercepted..."

This is exactly the biggest role of the triple supersonic interceptor - it is not designed for dogfighting, but for interception. Everything is designed for interception. Every kilometer faster it is, means that the enemy's bomber group is one kilometer farther away from us.

Under the conditions of nuclear war, not to mention 1km, sometimes 100m may save a city. After all, in that environment, missiles launched by enemy bomber groups may destroy a city at any time. Therefore, the longer the interception distance, the safer the city will be. For this reason, during the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union had their own dedicated interceptors. Of course, the United Kingdom also has the "Lightning", but the United Kingdom itself does not believe in that thing.

To a certain extent, those interceptors are just flying bricks, but that does not hinder their role in the country's air defense network.

However, those interceptors were all twice the speed of sound, so they had no advantage against the huge bomber group.

But now, what they saw was a big guy!

A big guy that can change the situation.

Not only was he able to dash into enemy bomber groups with a factor of three, but he was also able to carry heavy air-to-air missiles.

"It is designed to carry six to eight heavy air-to-air missiles, and its range is more than 6km. Our long-term goal is to reach 8km."

Yu Hongji then emphasized:
"With its large radar, it can detect enemy bomber groups 300km away and launch attacks. This means that only a few dozen of these heavy interceptors are needed to ensure that Britain can survive the first round of air strikes."

Yu Hongji then stopped talking. There was no need to say anything more, because everyone knew what was the most important thing under nuclear war conditions?
It's about survival.

This kind of survival does not mean avoiding a nuclear attack on the homeland, but doing everything possible to ensure that as few nuclear bombs as possible fall when a nuclear attack hits the homeland.

If the Soviet Tu-16 bombers could be intercepted 1000 km away, the number of nuclear bombs dropped on the British mainland would be reduced by at least half.

Faced with such temptation, how many people can resist?

Moreover, it had been less than a year since the Cuban Missile Crisis ended. For the Royal Air Force generals who had experienced the Cuban Missile Crisis, they were deeply aware of the threat of nuclear war.

Because of this, there was an urgent need for an interceptor that could truly intercept Soviet bombers.

Even if the maneuverability of this type of aircraft is a little poor, as long as it can shoot down Soviet bombers, that is enough. In fact, this was also the requirement of various countries for interceptors during the Cold War.

They never considered maneuverability such as dogfighting.

Because of the different mission priorities, these aircraft became so-called "industrial waste" after the end of the Cold War. In fact, it was because the nature of the mission and the mission environment had changed.

But now, they really need this kind of plane!

Staring at the plane projected on the slide, the Royal Air Force generals briefly exchanged a few words and then asked:
"When can you complete the test flight?"

"Now that we have completed the basic design, we can complete the first flight within two years as long as there is an injection of funds."

Yu Hongji said, pointing at the projection on the screen.

“The aircraft you see now has undergone long-term wind tunnel testing, and many technical problems have been solved.

As long as we have the funding, we can get it done quickly.”

This was the fundamental reason why he came to the UK, to convince the British to pay money.

Developing fighter jets costs a lot of money, and this project cannot be sustained without the injection of international funds because it is just a research project.

In order to turn it from a picture into reality, we must attract funds from the international community - that is, to complete the entire project through international cooperation.

The UK is undoubtedly the best choice because it has real security pressures. Not only the UK, but Canada also has them.

However, despite this, the British remained silent after learning that the entire project would require an investment of 400 million pounds.

In response to their silence, Yu Hongji quietly added another chip to the mix.

"Generals, it is not just an ordinary interceptor. In war conditions, it can also carry supersonic air-to-ground missiles and strike back at the enemy hundreds of kilometers away."

It can also carry nuclear missiles!
At that moment, everyone was conquered. The generals attending the meeting not only realized that this was an "air killer" that could send all Soviet bombers to hell thousands of miles away, but also a weapon that could fly at twice the speed of sound and carry a weapon that could send Soviet cities to hell from a distance.

my Lord!
This is simply...perfect!

This is definitely the most perfect war machine ever, yes, it is him.

Looking at the generals who looked a little excited, Yu Hongji finally understood what it meant to build an airplane with PPT... To put it bluntly, I will give you what you need.

As for whether they can be satisfied in the future...let's get the money first!
