You call me a big treacherous evil?

Victor recognized this colonel as the pilot who was in charge of testing the Seagull prototype last time.

Watching the pilot board the demonstration aircraft through the ladder next to the aircraft, and then the ground crew closed the hatch for him, and then cleared all the sundries beside the aircraft.

The tower began to issue instructions before takeoff.

As the most fashionable department in the entire Kanglian, the latest research results of the Institute of Electronics on radio communication are also reflected in the tower.

Although there is no radar to guide the pilot in the flight, at least there is a radio station.

Even though the early products were relatively bulky, the weight and volume are not too big a problem for an aircraft.

So the tower let the test aircraft code-named Haiyan start the engine and open the flaps to the take-off gear.

The tail of the test machine began to emit blue flames.

After receiving the pilot's reply that the engine is running fine and all parameters are normal.

After the tower issued the command to fully open the engine and allow takeoff.

The blue flames on the tail of the plane started to get brighter, and then it was the same as the seagull last time.

Amid the sound of air tearing, this interceptor aircraft code-named Haiyan dragged a blue light and flew into the blue sky, which soon turned into an invisible small spot of light.

There was another round of applause in the tower.

But after the applause ended, the first flight was not over yet.

Because they also need to test the aircraft's high-altitude and low-altitude performance.

And you must know the maximum flight time and flight journey of this aircraft.

So in the following time, the test pilots cooperated with the researchers in the tower to conduct a series of tests.

For example, the maximum climb altitude, and the maximum flight speed after the fire gate is in the end.

125 Victor's Family Affairs

After Haiyan's successful maiden flight.

Victor immediately canceled Seagull's follow-up order without hesitation.

An order for [-] Haiyans was placed with a factory affiliated to the space agency.

Half of them are two-person models that are still on the drawings, and are used as trainer aircraft for training pilots.

But even after canceling Seagull's follow-up order, Victor still faces a very serious problem.

That is insufficient military spending.

Victor's round of military expansion and military reform did not cost less.

Although Kanglian has now completed its first five-year plan, it does not mean that Victor will be able to burn money without restraint.

Therefore, the first mission after the first flight of the Haiyan prototype is to conduct another demonstration flight.

Let the old buddies in the Politburo understand how unreasonable things like airplanes are.

The birth of this weapon is enough to divide military history into before the birth of the aircraft and after the birth of the aircraft.

So the verification machine was equipped with weapons at the fastest speed.

At this time, the prototypes of the 23mm machine guns had just been manufactured, and we have not waited for these prototypes to undergo more tests.

Under Victor's order, it was sent to the space agency to be installed on Haiyan's prototype, and it was directly tested in actual combat.

And the pilot who was about to be promoted to a colonel by Victor practiced ground attack for another two weeks.

At noon on a weekend, Victor invited all the old buddies in the Politburo who had the right to increase funding for the Kanglian Air Force to watch Haiyan's attack demonstration together.

And visit the space agency and the aircraft factory under the space agency. If you have time, you can also go to the Armor Design Bureau.

A few days ago, Victor specially built a bunch of permanent fortifications in the woods outside the Komsomolsk City. The bunkers and trenches are all printed, and Victor even put a lot of dummies.

And pigs and sheep in cages to simulate soldiers under attack.

There are also several damaged mechas used as targets.

These unlucky bunkers and livestock, as well as the already damaged mechs will become the targets of Haiyan's attack today.

First of all, Victor took the group of old buddies to visit the target that was about to be attacked.

Let these old buddies confirm with their own eyes that Victor did not falsify these fortifications.

After returning to the distant bunker with his old buddies, Victor called the Haiyan, which had been hovering over Kangqing City for a while, to launch an attack on the target area.

As a small black spot appeared in the sky, the pilot's calm voice sounded from the horn of the observation bunker, "arrive at the target airspace and start attacking."

The fighter plane quickly passed over the target fortifications. First, a string of rockets set off a fireball in the fortifications and trenches.

Then the fighter plane repeatedly passed through the field at low altitude several times, and repeatedly plowed the trenches and fortresses with machine guns several times.

Until the pilot's voice sounded from the horn again, announcing the end of the attack and the fighter plane returning.

Victor took those Politburo brothers who were picking up his chin and glasses from the floor to check the attack effect of the fighter plane.

In all fairness, Haiyan's ground attack seemed to Victor to be just a joke.

Just this fighter plane plowing the ground with its cannon back and forth is somewhat less interesting.

And a high-altitude, high-speed fighter designed to seize air supremacy is used to shoot rockets to plow the ground. This thing is like giving you a 40-meter-long sword.

You don't want to use it to cut battleships, but to use it to sell apples.

It's not that it can't be used like this, it's just that it's not easy to use.

However, the old buddies of the Politburo expressed shock at the damage Haiyan had caused.

After all, before Victor fiddled with the airship, the battlefield was two-dimensional.

The uncrowned king of the battlefield is the mecha, while the queen of the battlefield is the heavy artillery.

After the appearance of the airship, it seems that this situation has changed a little.

Because in the few battles with the airship, the airship seemed to easily dominate the battlefield situation.

But the huge target of the airship, and the relatively slow moving speed.

It still gave the ground troops a lot of ways to fight.

For example, large-caliber anti-aircraft guns and corresponding shells are now being developed by various countries.

But the fighter planes passing through the battlefield at high speed gave them another feeling.

That is, this thing is like a mosquito, you saw it there last second.

But in the next second he mysteriously disappeared from your field of vision.

After seeing the horrors of those targets, the act of peeling an apple with a 40-meter machete also achieved the effect Victor expected.

Except for the bunker built with high-grade cement and steel bars.

Whether it is the pigs and sheep in the trenches serving as enemy soldiers, or the mechs that have been abandoned before, they are now in a mess.

The only difference is that the pigs and sheep now need to be collected with a spoon, and even the best cooks can't do anything with the rotten meat.

And those mechas that are riddled with holes still have the value of being recast after being disassembled.

After the demonstration, the old buddies of the Politburo agreed in principle to Victor's request to continue to form in the Flame Army and expand the air force.

For example, the glider flying club, which is used to select pilots, has also been approved to be included in the workers' recuperation and hobbies, and has become part of the welfare of Kanglian workers.

So that the Flame Army can better select pilots.

At the same time, Victor was also approved to expand the Kanglian Air Force. First, a fighter wing, an attack wing, a bomber wing, and a transport wing were formed.

Each wing has three squadrons, and each squadron is divided into six squadrons, and each squadron has two aircraft.

Start training pilots on this scale.

The reason why it is so small.

But it is still because of the same old problem, poverty.

The rocket engine is ridiculously expensive, and its service life is short.

Therefore, according to the information given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there will be no news of a major war within a short period of time.

The Political Bureau of Kanglian decided to focus on economic construction at this stage.

Wait until the completion of the second five-year plan.

In the third five-year plan, large-scale military expansion will be carried out.

In five years, the number of troops will be expanded to 600 million, and the mechanization of the army will be completely completed.

At the same time, create a terrifying strategic air force.

Then the red flag can be planted all over the world.

Victor doesn't have much opinion on this plan, after all, as a gun, it is inevitable to support the party's decision.

However, Victor still had a round of bargaining with his old buddies in the Politburo.

Weapons can be purchased a little less, and I have no objection to producing weapons on the scale of a wing.

But can I train more as a pilot first?

After all, pilots are not like those infantrymen who can pull down the battlefield and perform defensive tasks after kicking goosesteps in the mud for three months.

It takes a lot of time just to learn how to take off and land, not to mention air combat and ground attack.

I don't train a batch of pilots in advance, and wait until economic conditions permit to start mass production of equipment.

As a result, there is only equipment and no one uses it. Isn't this kind of thing very nonsense?

Since Victor has always been reliable, the Politburo agreed to Victor's proposal to train as many pilots as possible while maintaining only one wing size of equipment.

Right now, they don't know how many pilots Viktor can train through the hole they opened.

Just after Haiyan's first flight and finalization, the bad guy Victor began to relentlessly urge the space agency to start researching low-altitude and low-speed attack aircraft and high-altitude bombers.

Of course, the transport plane is also inevitable.

Victor also hoped that the transport plane could be completed as soon as possible and then put into use.

In this way, the airborne troops no longer have to rush forward like a group of light infantry in a one and a half ton truck.

Instead, they were able to fail their original mission and parachute behind enemy lines to trouble Shinra.

However, although the space agency got Haiyan, but because the requirements of these aircraft are different.

There are even many requirements that are opposite, so the space agency can only say that it is being done, and it can always be done if you give me some time.

And when the space agency even got the rocket engine done, it was responsible for the design team of the gas turbine.

Finally, the gas turbine was finalized and put into production.

So the T-2 tank, which was compatible with both steam engines and gas turbine engines, was originally made, and production was stopped under Victor's order.

Production of a gas turbine version of the tank codenamed T-2C began.

Of course, after the design team completed the design of the first-generation gas turbine, Victor asked them to immediately invest in the design of the second-generation gas turbine.

And Victor is still determined to ask this design team to design a gas turbine that can be used on an aircraft.

Now there are high-altitude and high-speed rocket engines, but they are too expensive.

Victor also needed an attack aircraft with good low-altitude performance.

Due to the characteristics of the rocket engine, it is not suitable for this task.

In other words, the current price of the rocket engine made Victor feel that it was more cost-effective to call for an air strike than to let the rocket launcher company or the regimental artillery battalion carry out several rounds of shelling.

So Victor wants them to come up with some engines that can be used on transport aircraft and attack aircraft.

If the price of the rocket engine can be reduced to a level that Victor can accept, and the service life is not as ridiculous as it is now.

Then Victor will not want to toss the gas turbine again.

Can't it just be copied directly according to the A-10 attack aircraft?

A high-speed ground attack aircraft, an on-call air nanny on the front line, isn't it good to use?

As for the bombers...
