Ding Weiguo saw that everyone was more interested, and he also came to the spirit.

"I think that at present, we are still always thinking about modern society, always thinking about those advanced fighters, hoping to get hundreds of Stuka at once, which is definitely unrealistic. I think the next way out is delta-wing aircraft. Don't pout your lips, don't look at the delta wing aircraft very well, but we will have to count on them to serve in the future. The "caravan" is advanced, can you drive it to bomb Manila? ”

Li Yuancong said unconvinced: "Not to mention caravans, even in World War II, there are not many aircraft with such a large combat radius." But your delta-wing plane is even worse. ”

Ding Weiguo said with a smile: "The delta-wing plane can really bomb." Don't believe it, I dismantled the delta-wing plane, loaded it onto the ship, landed near Manila, and then leveled out a little bit of a flat piece of land, loaded the delta-wing plane, hung up the bomb and took off, can't I bomb Manila, haha......"

Everyone was stunned when they heard it, isn't that what happened? It wasn't a hassle at all, and a few people from their Air Department could easily assemble it. Logistics maintenance is even simpler, bring a few barrels of gasoline enough to fly for a while, have a slightly flat ground to take off, and then rely on radio or other methods of navigation, it can really achieve the mission of bombing Manila. ”

Ding Weiguo continued to say excitedly: "In the future, there will be no problem at all in going deep into the inland to fight, dismantling and loading it on the carriage, and a carriage will be done." It is even cool to ask the technical department of the arsenal to develop a system of carrying equipment for horses, so that our Air Force Department can also go over the mountains and mountains, and then suddenly fly an airplane to raid the enemy's rear. ”

Now that everyone has come to the spirit, this idea is too good, if it is according to this idea, then the Air Force will not be like a special forces in the future. I didn't expect that the delta-wing aircraft that they had been looking down on could become a sharp weapon in their hands.

Li Yuancong said excitedly: "Lao Ding, I am completely convinced of you." It's great to have such a good idea. Now everyone should not be idle, Lao Ding has opened up the ideas for everyone, and we have all brainstormed to sort out the future combat concept of the Air Ministry, which is of great significance to our Air Ministry. ”

Luan Shuping nodded and said: "The idea of treating the delta-wing aircraft as a front-line tactical support aircraft is very good, but how to navigate is the top priority to achieve this goal.

We should draw up a detailed plan with our ideas, and we should also sit down with the technical department of the arsenal to discuss it and sort out a perfect feasibility report before submitting it to the Military Commission. ”

Li Yuancong waved his hand and laughed: "Okay...... Brothers, let's do our best......"

In the next few days, in addition to teaching recruits during the day, the Air Department had to get together in their spare time, staying up until the second half of the night every day. A lot of times when you have a good idea, it's easy to do. The Air Force Department has changed the usual atmosphere of braggart and nonsense, and everyone has become extremely serious, and everyone has put forward a lot of constructive suggestions.

Li Ming has been very busy recently, the War Department has completed the reorganization work, and the two sailing ships of the Navy Department have also successfully entered service, so the next work of the Military Commission is an intense large-scale military training.

He then left the Military Commission and went down to various departments of the Nationalities Committee, where he worked at the grassroots level to familiarize himself with the tasks of each department as much as possible. In normal times, he also has to cooperate with the Ethnic Affairs Committee, be responsible for some affairs, and get up early every day and be busy from morning to night.

Today, he suddenly received a notice from the Military Commission, asking him to return to the Military Commission, saying that there was something important to discuss. Li Ming arrived at the Military Commission in a daze, what important things can the Military Commission have now.

The office of the Military Commission is located at the headquarters of the Far Eastern Division in the courtyard of the teaching team. Gao Jianguo, Li Shaokun, and Shi Mingfeng were waiting for him in the conference room, Li Ming greeted them with a smile, and before he could sit down, he saw Qiao Haipeng also walk into the room.

Li Ming was stunned when he saw Qiao Haipeng, what is the matter, he got Qiao Haipeng back from the www.biquge.info town of Biqu Pavilion. It seems that he was already notified and rushed back early.

After chatting with Qiao Haipeng, he looked at the furnishings of the conference room and found that there was a curtain hanging on the opposite wall, and a projector was placed in front of the table.

While he was thinking wildly, a few more people walked in outside, and Li Ming looked back and found that it was Li Yuancong and Ding Weiguo from the Air Force, as well as Zhang Jiang and a few technicians from the arsenal.

Seeing such a scene, Li Ming was even more curious, is the Air Force going to develop an airplane? It can't be so early, he glanced at Qiao Haipeng beside him and found that he was also confused.

Gao Jianguo saw that everyone had arrived, so he smiled and said: "I called everyone here today because the Ministry of the Air Force has recently developed a set of feasibility reports on future air force operations. Now we will ask the comrades of the Air Force Department to give us a detailed introduction. ”

Li Yuancong pushed Ding Weiguo next to him, Ding Weiguo walked up with a red face, this is the first time for him on such an occasion, don't look at his usual, but at this time, he is really a little uncomfortable.

But he was pushed out by Li Yuancong carelessly, and it was impossible to go back again. He had no choice but to secretly scold Li Yuancong for plotting against him, then turned on the projector and introduced the plan of the Air Force Department to everyone.

At first, there were some stumbles, and he entered the state without saying a few words, after all, he stayed up all night with everyone, and the idea itself was the first to be put forward by him, and he had a deeper understanding of this plan in his heart, and everything was in his heart, so the introduction of the plan of the Air Force Department was also very smooth.

After listening to Ding Weiguo's explanation, Li Ming had to admire this idea in his heart, the delta-wing aircraft can still be used like this. However, Li Ming attaches more importance to the long-term planning of the big airship, and once the Far East Company manufactures a large airship, it will be of great help to the troops.

Not to mention anything else, logistics supply alone can solve the problems caused by the long battle line, such as bombing, reconnaissance, patrol and early warning, which is even more remarkable. A huge airship carried dozens of tons of bombs, and Li Ming shuddered when he thought about it.

Moreover, the giant airship has a long time in the air, more than ten hours is trivial, with a journey of thousands of kilometers and a load of dozens of tons. The more Li Ming wanted to be excited, if he could really build a huge airship, even if there were only a few, it would increase the combat effectiveness of the Military Commission several times.

Gao Jianguo was the first to speak: "It seems that the Air Force Department has not been idle, which shows that you have been thinking about how to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the Air Force Department's big airship plan is very thoughtful, no matter whether this plan can be implemented or not, we still want to commend the Air Force Department for its contribution to the troops." Lao Zhang, you also talk about ideas and see how feasible this plan of the Air Department is. ”

Zhang Jiang said with a wry smile: "The Air Force Department went to look for us yesterday, and the members of our technical department didn't sleep all night because of this big airship plan, and they all got together to discuss this plan." There is no problem with delta-wing aircraft at all, there are many ways to solve navigation, and we have come up with several plans to study them slowly in the future. Moreover, some technicians also put forward the idea of transforming delta-wing aircraft, and several sets of plans have been proposed. In short, this plan is absolutely feasible, and this will be discussed later.

We had been discussing the Big Airship program proposed by the Air Department last night. To be honest, we stayed up all night last night and found a lot of information from all sides. Alas...... Your Air Force Department has a problem for us. ”

Li Ming thought for a moment and said, "Is the big airship plan so difficult to implement?" ”

Zhang Jiang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Not only is it difficult to implement, it's an almost impossible task." But since everyone saw this big airship plan, they couldn't sleep at all. Knowing that this plan was difficult, he still repeatedly argued for a night.

We used to have an airship plan, but we really didn't dare to think of developing such a big airship, we have always defined the airship as a miniaturized soft airship, at best, at the level of patrol and vigilance around Vladivostok, I didn't expect Xiao Ding to dare to think so much, and actually came up with such a number.

The flight speed is 90-120 km, the range is more than 5000 km, and the load is more than 50 tons. When we first got the number jù, it felt like a fantasy, but then we couldn't put it down when we looked down. This plan is so huge that it is estimated that all the manpower and material resources of the company will have to be concentrated in order to have any hope of achieving this goal. ”

Qiao Haipeng also sighed: "If this idea can really be realized, the Admiralty will also be of great help, and I think it is worth it even if it is to concentrate all the resources of the company." ”

Gao Jianguo frowned and said, "Lao Zhang, what are the difficulties of this plan. ”

After listening to Gao Jianguo's words, Zhang Jiang said: "On September 18, 1928, the famous "Count Zeppelin" airship made its first successful flight. With a length of 236.6 meters, a maximum diameter of 30.5 meters, and a height of 35 meters, it was equivalent to an eight- or nine-story building, making it the largest airship in the world at that time.

On August 8, 1929, the "Count Zeppelin" carried 16 passengers from Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey, and completed the first round-the-world flight in the history of airships after 21 days, 5 hours and 31 minutes, covering a distance of 31,400 kilometers. In the eight years between 1929 and 1937, the airship flew 590 times, including 144 transoceanic flights (143 across the Atlantic and 1 over the Pacific), totaling 1.7 million kilometers and safely transporting more than 34,000 passengers.

On May 6, 1937, when the "Hindenburg" landed at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey, the airship caught fire in the air nearly 100 meters above the ground, which killed a total of 35 people on board and one person on the ground, and 61 people survived, becoming one of the worst disasters in the aviation industry at that time. Subsequently, Britain and the United States also had a number of large airships, most of which were wrecked one after another, and the development of airships came to a standstill after that. The era of giant airships is over.

The reason why airships have withdrawn from the stage of history is mainly because the gaseous fuel used in airships is either too dangerous or too rare: hydrogen, which is abundant but dangerous; Helium, safe but scarce. Eventually, this type of fuel lost to the oil used in modern aircraft. ”R1152
