readx; The changes in the Air Force are much simpler, the most obvious is the emergence and equipment of jet aircraft, but for the Chinese Air Force, jet aircraft is nothing new, a few years ago began to equip F10, now it is just a full entry into the jet era, the overall change is as big as the Navy.

Of course, the Air Force also has ambitions, in addition to achieving fighter jets, it also wants to make both ground attack aircraft and bombers jets, and even put forward plans for supersonic aircraft.

Of course, the Air Force's supersonic aircraft plan is very difficult in terms of difficulty, because there are too many things designed here, and a single engine is enough to give people a headache, and the engine is too dependent on basic disciplines, and it is more difficult for the engine to improve thrust before the basic materials have not been greatly improved.

At present, whether it is a jet engine in China or the United States, it is still stuck in the 2,000 to 2,500 kilogram level, and the 3,000 kilogram and 4,000 kilogram engines that Fule Electric began to develop two years ago are still in the research and development stage, and there is no hope of putting them into mass production and service in the next one or two years.

The emergence and successive commissioning of many new weapons of the navy, army, and air force in the past year has naturally brought about tremendous changes in the specific combat patterns.

The year 1945 was an era of great breakthroughs and changes in military technology, and whoever could take the lead and maintain an advantage would be able to occupy an advantage in future wars.

Relatively speaking, as the role of technological superiority has become more prominent, the importance of numerical superiority has also declined rapidly, and at least the 30-odd US aircraft carriers are not confident that they will gain too much advantage in the confrontation with China's 20 aircraft carriers.

Otherwise, the Americans would not have continued to tolerate it in the past year, and would have been fighting with China a long time ago.

However, China and the United States have not fought, and the war has temporarily ceased on the European side, but it does not mean that the world is peaceful and safe, and the Philippine side has been fighting since last year.

This is a very typical proxy war, the Filipinos are fighting, but the weapons and equipment are all advanced weapons provided by China and the United States. The political axes of the north and south of the Philippines have carried out many sea and air battles around many islands in the central Philippines, although the scale is generally small, but it is very frequent, basically a small air battle or naval battle will break out at both ends in three days.

From last year to the present, the defense forces of the Republic of the Philippines supported by China and the political axe army of the Republic of the Philippines in the south have lost at least 200 combat planes of various types, and the losses of surface ships have also been relatively large, with as many as a dozen large and small torpedo boats and gunboats being sunk, and even a Mingxing-class destroyer built in the thirties provided by China has been sunk by the air force of the Southern Political Axe Army.

Of course, the losses of the political axe army in the south were not small, and they all sank two destroyers with American aid to the Defense Bureau in the north.

Although the Philippines is an island country, and the north and south do not have too large navies, because the Philippines is an archipelagic country, and the distance between the islands is very close, that is, a few nautical miles and a maximum distance of more than a dozen nautical miles, a small sampan can be used for landing operations.

Now the main fighting between the two sides is concentrated on Samar Island and several other neighboring islands, and both sides have already invested hundreds of thousands of troops, and whoever can win the battle for the Visayas in the central Philippines will undoubtedly lay the foundation for victory in the civil war, and then be able to directly attack the opponent's base camp.

And like all proxy wars, the Philippine Civil War was filled with not only a large amount of military equipment from China and the United States, but also a large number of so-called volunteers from the Chinese and American armies.

These volunteers, who are widely active in the North and South Philippine militaries, are discharged from military service and then arrive in the Philippines in their personal capacity to serve as military instructors and even key officers.

The United States is more embarrassed here, after all, they are Caucasian, which can be found far away, so many times American volunteers are in the rear as instructors and other tasks, but for China, especially the yellow race, and the political axe of the northern Philippine Republic supported by China is full of a large number of Chinese, especially the extremely important military power is mostly controlled by the Chinese armed forces in the Philippines who have been supported by China for many years, and the northern Philippines even positions Chinese and Filipino as the official language.

Of course, these measures do not mean that Chen Jingyun is rampant nationalism and wants the Chinese to rule the Philippines directly, in fact, he is not interested in these, and the reason why he does this is very simple, that is, it is more conducive to China's control of the Philippines, as for the life and death of the so-called Nanyang Chinese, it has nothing to do with him.

If he really cared about the life and death of the Nanyang Chinese, he would have directly supported the local Chinese to build the country in 1940 when the Nanyang countries were in great power, but he did not do so, in fact, China's exploitation of Nanyang in recent years has not only decreased, but also increased, and the exploitation does not matter whether you are a Nanyang native or a Nanyang Chinese.

Countless examples in history have proved that the so-called race has nothing to do with the country, and the United States was not founded by the descendants of European countries, and many British descendants still beat their motherland to death. Singapore is not still a Chinese country, but you can see how bad their relationship with the mainland is.

In any case, it is still a reality that there are a large number of ethnic Chinese in the northern Philippines, and this makes it more convenient for China's 'volunteer armed personnel' to enter the Philippines to fight, and now among the more than 20 divisions in the Philippines, half of the senior officers are of Chinese descent, and half of them are Chinese who have served in the Chinese [***] team, and even they not only have Philippine nationality, but also Chinese nationality.

Now there are flight schools in the Philippines, and the instructors are all retired personnel of the Chinese Air Force, and the pilots also have many retired pilots of the Chinese Navy and Air Force, some of whom were secretly dispatched by the military to accumulate actual combat experience, and some of whom were originally retired pilots in the Chinese Air Force, who spontaneously came to the Philippines to earn a high salary, and this monthly salary is thousands of Chinese dollars, which is four or five times more than serving in the domestic Navy and Air Force, and the reward for shooting down an enemy plane is several thousand. This is enough money earned for a year of service in the Philippines for their entire lives.

And these volunteers from China, if they don't say it themselves, outsiders really can't recognize them as former Chinese soldiers.

Not only are there many retired pilots who have made a fortune in the Philippines, but there are also many retired officers and men in the army and navy who have come to the Philippines to make a fortune, and the Philippine Northern Defense Force has no choice, because they have just been established, and they simply cannot train military personnel with very high technical content, and ordinary soldiers also say that most of them can be used by the indigenous Filipinos, but there is no way to use high-tech pilots, air force maintenance non-commissioned officers, navy technical noncommissioned officers, and other technical arms. Even the officers are hired with high salaries, and the price offered is not low, an officer with the rank of captain before retiring, people directly offer a monthly salary of thousands of yuan, and the minimum temporary military rank of colonel is awarded in the past, if I am still willing, I can directly give a Filipino nationality, and it is okay to be a Philippine general in the future.

As for the middle and senior officers, such as officers at the rank of major and above, Filipinos cannot be recruited, the reason is very simple, the social status of military personnel in China is already high, and the income is not low, and if they retire with the rank of major, it is very easy to go to the local government whether they are engaged in business or public office, and they will not go to the higher school officers and general ranks.

However, the high-ranking generals will not go by themselves, but the military has secretly sent a lot, participating in the military delegation during the Soviet-Finnish war, China also secretly sent a delegation composed of senior officers into the Philippines, but in order to avoid suspicion and irritation, most of the officers sent are older reserve officers, and they did not say that the active generals took off their uniforms and went directly to the Philippines.

One-third of the top generals of the Philippine Northern Defense Force are indigenous Filipinos, one-third are ethnic Chinese, and the remaining one-third are retired generals secretly dispatched by China.

Among these delegations of officers sent to the Philippines by the Chinese side, Qiu Yi was the leader. Qiu Yi, an older generation of generals in the Chinese Army, was a middle-level officer during the Civil War, and served as chief of staff of the Second Group Army with the rank of lieutenant general during the Second Sino-Chinese War in the thirties. However, he was relatively old, and in the late thirties he withdrew from active duty because there was no hope of being promoted to general. After all, although Qiu Yi has military exploits, in the Chinese National Army, especially among the older generation of generals, it is impossible for most lieutenant generals to be promoted to general.

With the outbreak of the Second World War, China's military expansion has increased rapidly, and many veterans who were originally transferred to the reserve were re-recruited, but he Qiu Yi was not in this ranks, until last year, Qiu Yi, who was unwilling to die so old, saw that the Philippines was recruiting retired officers, and the military was also looking for reservist generals to go to the Philippines, so Qiu Yi volunteered and recommended himself directly, because his military rank was high enough, Therefore, after arriving in the Philippines, he became the main representative of the Chinese side in the Philippine army.

Taking up the post of Chief of Staff of the Philippine Army was a fulfillment of his desire to continue fighting.

Now, Qiu Yi is staying with several high-ranking generals of the Philippine Defense Forces, including several Filipino indigenous generals, Chinese generals, and volunteers from the Chinese side.

"Now the defense of Basmat Island of the Southern Army is still relatively stable, I think we have to reinforce at least one more regiment, otherwise, it will be difficult for a single 13th Division to gnaw down, and the reconnaissance of the Air Force also shows that the Southern Army sent a transport fleet to Basmat Island yesterday, with the size of that transport fleet, it also carried at least one battalion of troops, and there is also a considerable amount of supplies!"

After a lowly Chinese major general finished saying this, he looked at Qiu Yi and waited for his answer!
