readx; With Chancellor Hauss returning to Germany, within two days, China once again announced that China would resume normal trade with Germany, including civilian and military supplies. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as this news was announced, it caused a turmoil in the world, and Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union naturally criticized China with a unified voice, but diplomatic accusations were meaningless, and as for all-out war, it was not so easy, and Truman even endured the tense situation some time ago, and now the so-called arms sales can only be regarded as petty fights. Diplomatic protests are protests, but the Americans have not made any actual reaction, they continue to prepare according to their own strategic plans, the navy continues to expand, and the United States is also continuing to increase the scale of conscription, they want to break through the number of troops to more than 10 million, and they are also increasing the deployment of jet fighters, as for the Manhattan Project nuclear bombs, the research and development of F84 and F86 jet fighters, the research and development of naval jet carrier-based aircraft, and the research and development of anti-aircraft missiles are even more intensive.

In order to speed up the progress of these R&D projects, especially the nuclear bomb project, Truman even shouted "We need American speed!" Those scientific research staff are working hard almost all day and night, trying to succeed in research and development as soon as possible.

The current United States seems to be actually preparing for an all-out war with China, and unlike China, China has completed the global strategic layout in the past many years of preparation, and can start fighting at any time, while the United States still needs time, at least half a year, and in this half year, President Truman is ready to continue to endure!

In addition to the vital nuclear bomb, strategic bombers and anti-aircraft missiles are also a very important link, as for jet aircraft, the United States is not lagging behind, although their jet aircraft research and development is relatively late, but the speed of progress is very fast, no matter what era, the most difficult point to build an aircraft is the engine, and the United States with its profound domestic industrial heritage, jet engines have developed rapidly, and has been rid of the restrictions of centrifugal jet engines introduced from Britain, and developed axial engines. That is, the kind of jet engine developed with China and Germany.

In contemporary times, jet engines can be divided into two types, one is the axial engine developed and used in China and Germany, the advantage is that the thrust is large, but the disadvantage is that the process is more complex and the research and development is more difficult. The second is the centrifugal engine dominated by the United Kingdom, the advantage is that the technology is simple, and the disadvantage is that it is very difficult to increase thrust, the United States accepted the centrifugal engine of the British, but the Americans are not willing to lag behind China in the surname of the jet engine, so they soon began to develop the axial flow engine, and after China sent F12 fighters into Europe to fight, there was an F12 fighter in northern Italy because of a forced landing failure, after the pilot was killed, The wreckage was found by the Americans, because it was not directly destroyed but forced to land, so the damage to the fuselage was not too serious, after the Americans obtained the F12 fighter, they urgently dispatched a whole aircraft carrier battle group to send the F12 fighter back to the United States, and this brought many benefits to the development of the two F84 and F86 fighters in the United States, and the Americans' axial flow engine is also a reference to the FL43 engine equipped on the F12 fighter.

So, on the whole, the Americans are in a weak position when it comes to jets, but they are not just beaten. And the key point is still in the nuclear bomb and strategic bombers and anti-aircraft missiles, strategic bombers, although China already has a B19 monster, but to tell the truth, the Americans in the development and manufacture of large aircraft, more than China, not only have a cost advantage, but also in the surname can be better, at least now China does not have the ability to develop a conventional layout of the intercontinental strategic bomber like the B36, can only choose the B19 bomber this way of tricking, can only pursue the voyage one-sidedly, and it is difficult to take care of the rest.

On the other hand, territorial air defense, limited by the amazing ultra-high ceiling of strategic bombers in this era, not to mention propeller aircraft, even China's own F12 fighter jets can not beat B19 or B36, so to intercept these ultra-high-altitude bombers, you can only rely on large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery in the early stage, and later China in order to defend against the nuclear bomb attack of the United States, developed the S1 air defense missile, with its launch height can easily kill B19.

The S1 thing is naturally not available to the United States, and even in China it is an absolutely secret project, and ordinary generals do not know that there is such a thing as an air defense missile, and the Germans' Storm missile, although it was also developed early, but the surname can be relatively low, and the improved Storm air defense missile is basically deployed in Germany. However, after the Americans landed in France, they still gained a lot of benefits, they captured a lot of German V-missiles, and then used this V-type missile in combination with the Americans' strong industrial capabilities, which can be regarded as barely entering the threshold of anti-aircraft missiles, but there is still a distance from practicality.

Judging from the many weapons mentioned above, the United States needs time, and it will take a long time!

In the face of such a reality, the United States will naturally choose to continue to tolerate it, and will not fight anyway, but will definitely not hold peace talks, and will drag on like this until the Americans get the nuclear bomb out.

In the face of the Americans' thoughts, Chen Jingyun can guess more or less, he knows that the Americans are dragging their feet, but the Americans are like a turtle with a shrunken head, and he has no choice, he can't take the initiative to start a war with the Americans!

Since the Americans are dragging their feet, Chen Jingyun is not ready to be polite, and he secretly sold weapons to the Germans last month, but now they are openly sold.

The Iranian-Turkish railway network has become the busiest railway network in the world, which not only supplies the nearly one million troops of the coalition forces stationed in Europe, but also has to undertake the task of transporting large quantities of supplies to Germany. In order to solve this problem, China's Ministry of Communications has even joined forces with Iran and Turkey to propose a plan to rebuild the domestic railway network of the two countries to increase transportation capacity, and China has generously promised that China Railway Corporation is strong, has no shortage of capital, and no shortage of technology, as long as you sign the contract.

However, the upgrading of railways is more complicated, and it cannot be done in a day and a half.

Countless trains passed through Iran, Turkey, the Balkans, and then into Germany, which was almost in ruins, providing Germany with a large number of living materials and a large number of advanced weapons.

Although the Germans were beaten like dogs some time ago, and domestic cities were also bombed, they still maintain the most basic national defense production capacity, and the production of various weapons will still be carried out, and the Allied forces have stopped their large-scale strategic bombing of Germany in the fierce opposition of China since last month, and Wu Shizhong patted the table and said to the Americans who came to negotiate: "If you continue to bomb, I will send planes to Germany tomorrow!" ”

After a brief pause in large-scale strategic bombing, although there were still sporadic small-scale bombings, they did not affect the overall situation, and Germany also took advantage of the precious window period to try to restore the production capacity of the defense industry. Therefore, among the military supplies provided by China to Germany, there are actually not many conventional weapons in large quantities, mainly some weapons with relatively high technical content, mainly aircraft.

For example, China has generously sold half of the F10 fighters that have been in service for several years and have now been retired and replaced by F12 fighters to Germany, and as for other propeller fighters that have been mothballed and decommissioned, China has sold almost half of the F7 fighters in its inventory to Germany.

In addition, a large number of F5E fighters were sold.

Although the current European battlefield is said to be based on jet fighters as the core, there are not many jet aircraft in various countries, and the main force is still those propeller aircraft, and for the Luftwaffe, their core task now is air defense, so what they need most is to be able to intercept the countless B11/B29/other series of strategic bombers in the United States, so China also provides this kind of aircraft, among which the F7 fighter has always been the main air defense fighter of the Fifth Air Force, the native air defense force, It wasn't until last year that they were retired one after another. The F10 is also the main equipment of the Fifth Air Force in the past few years, and these two fighters are naturally not good at fighting air combat, but the ceiling is high enough, and the firepower is strong, and it is handy to fight bombers.

As for the F5E fighter, this panacea-like fighter can do anything, high-altitude escort can be, medium and low main force air control is not bad, and it can also carry aerial bombs to make a cameo appearance in ground bombing, it can also be used for high-altitude interception, but the equipped 12.7 mm machine gun firepower is too small, what actual damage can be caused to the monster of the B29 strategic bomber, if you really want to carry out a high-altitude interception mission, you have to replace it with a cannon of more than 20 mm caliber.

And because the F5 fighter series is the main air supremacy fighter of the Chinese Air Force in the past few years, the output has reached more than 10,000 units, with the withdrawal of front-line troops in the Chinese Air Force, the inventory is very large, so China has provided many F5 fighters to friendly countries in the past year.

According to China's consistent practice of foreign military aid, it has always sold old aircraft and gave them to allies, as was the case with the F4 in the past and the F5 now.

However, unlike other countries, which can only get a few dozen planes and a maximum of a hundred, the amount of Chinese aid to Germany is much larger, and the first batch of F5E alone is more than 400 planes, and many aircraft are directly flown from Central Asia and Siberia and handed over to the Luftwaffe.

In addition to packing and half-selling a large number of old aircraft, China also provides jet engines to Germany, of course, the latest FL43 and the like will not be sent, and the Germans do not have a suitable airframe to carry, Chen Jingyun will never send his latest F12 to the Germans, but the CZ38 This small-thrust engine is just used in the TA183 fighter for Germany.

Now the Germans had loaded the CZ38 engine on the TA183 fighter and soon established the first TA183 combat squadron.
