Of course, Liu Lang's concerns cannot be explained to this old man who is abroad and does not know the domestic situation very well.

Actually, when talking to smart people, you don't really need to say things too clearly.

When Liu Lang smiled bitterly but did not speak, Situ Meitang's brain, which had gone through sixty-eight years, already understood that there must be unspeakable hardships in this. However, he admires Liu Lang even more, fame and fortune are all spoken of in the world, and fame is still before profit, which shows the huge magic of the word "name". No matter what the reason, Liu Lang can give up such an opportunity to become famous in China and be promoted to make a fortune, it requires enough courage.

At that moment, Situ Meitang smiled slightly and stopped mentioning this matter, and agreed: "Okay, these things are left to the old man to do, don't dare to say anything else, at most two years, the old man should arrive in China with the aviation unit donated by overseas Chinese, and when the time comes, I hope to fight side by side with Commander Liu to defend the great rivers and mountains of China." ”

"Haha, okay, then it's a word." Liu Lang laughed and swore by high-five the old man who stretched out his palm.

The Chinese Air Volunteer Corps was established seven years earlier than the "Flying Tigers" composed of retired and active pilots in the United States, and Liu Lang is looking forward to bringing enough surprises to himself and China with this unit that has never appeared.

You must know that in the Battle of Songhu three years later, China dispatched only 300 fighters that could be dispatched, but the Japanese sent more than 2,000 army and navy air forces to China alone, ten times as many as China. The weak Chinese Air Force was almost wiped out in that war.

It was in that battle that China lost the cover of its air force, resulting in heavy artillery being blown up by Japanese bombers, and positions being bombed by Japanese bombers. If there was still an air force that could resist so that the Japanese bombers would not be so unscrupulous, the Japanese army alone would not win so easily, and even if it was defeated, China's millions of troops would be able to gnaw off a few pieces of meat from the Japanese and make them feel painful.

"Brother Liu, you mean that we can build an aviation brigade according to my ideas?" Zhou Dapeng asked excitedly.

"No" Liu Lang shook his head resolutely, "Although your idea is very good, according to you, if you want to build it, you must build the best, not only people, but also equipment, the two models you said are not good." ”

"No way, the Eagle III fighter-bomber and the A12 attack aircraft are the export versions of the current main US fighters, and they are already the best fighters that can be bought in the United States." Zhou Dapeng was said by Liu Lang and almost didn't jump.

was questioned professionally, if it weren't for Liu Tuanzuo's role as an idol, Zhou Dapeng would have jumped long ago.

"Hehe, that's right, the Eagle III fighter-bomber and A12 attack aircraft you mentioned are indeed the best among the current export models of the United States, but they have been in service as the main fighters for several years, and the US military department has long been dissatisfied with these two fighters that are not outstanding in performance. How can a country that wants to maintain its leading position in combat effectiveness in the world fall behind in air supremacy? It won't be long before they switch to new fighters, and we, we need them. Liu Lang said with a chuckle.

The two types of fighters that Zhou Dapeng needed were too familiar to Liu Lang, no, to be more precise, many Chinese were extremely familiar, both now and in the future.

Because, these two types of fighters are the main fighters used by the currently weak Chinese Air Force. To be more precise, the "Eagle III" mentioned by Zhou Dapeng is still a new version of the follow-up, and China is now equipped with more "Eagle II".

"F11C-II", also known as the Eagle II named after Curtis, is transliterated in China as the famous "Hawker 2" fighter-bomber. This fighter was launched in 1932 by the American Curtis Aircraft Company to combine the characteristics of the carrier-based fighter F11C-II and the Army Air Corps P-6E to redesign a "Eagle II" fighter specially for export, and sent people to China to perform and sell. In 1933, the Nanjing government and the Guangdong government launched a donation campaign to purchase a total of 50 "Eagle 2". To put it bluntly, this fighter with outstanding low-altitude performance is the export-making version of the United States, and its overall performance is much worse than the scum 96 fighter that Japan has not equipped at this time but will be equipped with three years later.

Including its upcoming successor, the Hawker III, a so-called improved version that could only place landing gear on either side of the nose, and the metal wings were changed to wood in order to reduce weight and increase speed, and even the radio communication equipment that was already carried with it was removed. It simply reveals the face of the American businessman Chi Guoguo who makes money.

The Type 96 fighter, which has a speed of up to 440 kilometers per hour, surpasses the Hawker III, which has a speed of only 380 kilometers per hour, both in terms of speed and because of its all-metal fuselage and better combat performance.

However, two years later, the Nanjing government of China purchased more than 100 planes in large quantities, and spent an additional 3.5 million silver oceans, equivalent to nearly 1 million US dollars, to purchase various spare parts for the Hawker III. It's simply the first injustice in history.

What's even more speechless is that even if you are the wrongdoer, at most it can only be said that there were not many Chinese people who knew the goods at that time and were cheated by the Americans. But have you ever thought about being cheated by your own people? Moreover, this own person is still in a high position and power, and even the bald boss does not dare to say anything.

At the military meeting in the early stage of the Battle of Songhu, the bald principal asked Zhou Zhirou, who was then the director of the Aviation Committee, how many planes the Air Force could participate in, and Director Zhou Da trembled and showed a chart of the strength and position of only 296 fighters. The bald headmaster almost didn't chop off his confidant, you know, the military spending allocated to the Air Force at that time was actually the highest since the establishment of the national government. But after five or six years of development, there are only 296 planes, but they have to face nearly 1,000 planes from the Japanese invaders, which makes the bald boss who was already the leader of China at that time not angry?

However, such a major event was quietly put to rest after the fact, and the weak Chinese air force fought against the Japanese invaders in the blue sky around Songhu with only one-fifth of the enemy's strength, and finally spilled blood in the sky.

It's not that Director Zhou is very good, but that the secretary general of his aviation committee is very good, and Miss Song San is the secretary general of the aviation committee specially hired by Director Zhou for convenience. In the end, it was this Madame Chiang who believed that the world's aircraft manufacturing industry was developing rapidly, and its performance was changing with each passing day, and that a new type of aircraft would be replaced by another new type of aircraft if it was born for two or three years at most. Therefore, her response plan is to save the huge amount of air force funds in the United States, and only use the existing aircraft to maintain training, and when the time comes, as long as you have money, why worry about not being able to buy the latest model of aircraft.

What is a woman's view? Here it is.

Later generations of military historians were simply speechless to the extreme about this lady's decision-making event. You must know that no matter which country, no matter how rapid the technology is, it has never dared to completely eliminate the old model of fighters, and has always only eliminated the old model while researching the new machine and equipping the new machine. Eighty years later, the Republic still has the J-7III produced forty years ago still being used for training. In order to earn some interest, he left only 300 old fighters for China for training.

The real fact is that at the beginning of the war, with the all-out attack of the Japanese army, all the major ports on the southeast coast were occupied by the Japanese army, which basically cut off the road to introducing advanced fighters. The most important thing is that Western countries are afraid of provoking Japan, and they have refused to sell the most advanced fighters at that time to China. For example, the government purchased 70 Curtislight C-21 fighters from the United States, an international arms dealer, and the performance of the aircraft was average, but the price of a single aircraft was as high as 70,000 US dollars, which was one-half higher than the purchase price of the US military itself.

The reason is very simple, if you don't buy it, China's blue sky will never see a single Chinese fighter again, and your army will have to be passively beaten and will continue to fail.

Is it the Americans who have a black heart? No, as a country that started by making war money, you have no reason to condemn others for hollowing out their efforts to make your Chinese money and suck your Chinese blood, you can not buy it at all. The real reason is the lack of foresight, the lack of judgment of the war situation.

In terms of vision, the one who is still far away in Jiangxi is definitely China's NO.1.

Of course, this is the evil result of the current state government structure, and Liu Lang is powerless to change it, even if he knows that those politicians in this time and space will still make this extremely stupid mistake.

Liu Lang couldn't change them, so he could only work hard to narrow the gap with his own strength. Perhaps, with this new force that has sprung up, the sky above Songhu will no longer be as powerless as it was in time and space.

More than a hundred, trying to close the gap, Hawker III is simply not enough to take on this heavy responsibility.

Therefore, in any case, Liu Lang will not use this kind of fighter as the main fighter of the "Chinese Air Volunteers".
