The reason why the development route of large aviation weapons on the earth chooses to develop multi-engine monsters for strategic bombing is because the things that can fly into the sky have a limited load capacity and range, except for some magic transport planes that carry out ground attack missions, the maximum caliber artillery carried by fighters for combat purposes does not exceed 50mm, and when long-range missiles appear, whether it is bomb load, The mission selectivity far exceeds that of large-caliber artillery, and there is no need to develop air power with large-caliber artillery, and the ancient idea of airship + cannon has been swept into the garbage heap of history.

This world has the existence of mana, and the floating warships of various countries have been stored and used for many years. The ground forces of the human nations may be vulnerable to the soaring mechanized swarms, but their air power can still disrupt and even inflict heavy damage on an armored force that lacks air cover.

In the future mechanized warfare conceived by Li Lin, the task of the aviation MDS is to act as the escort force of floating warships, and provide impact point observation for long-range firing of large-caliber naval guns and cross-fire over mountains. At the same time, it also plays a similar role in providing air cover for mechanized groups on the ground, eliminating interference from enemy air forces such as griffons and dragoons, and interspersing surprise enemy formations.

In contrast, a stupid, bloated mid-water MDS can be confusing at first glance. But if you look at this force within the framework, you will immediately find out. It's an arrow, too: there's nothing like a bunch of armored monsters that suddenly leap out of the water and shoot rockets or spew flames, flashing pink one-eyed, to break the enemy's morale......

Lieutenant Commander Heinrich Blucher, who had studied the psychology of war, may not have even gone into the sea for a swim, but he knew very well what a combination of surprise, speed, and terror could do to the enemy's will to resist.

The lieutenant colonel learned that the development of combat vehicles had not progressed for a long time, and that the submarine and amphibious combat vehicles in the vehicle clan development plan had also been found. The ecstatic Blucher seized this opportunity to write to the General Armament Department, and he said: Since there is no progress in amphibious armored vehicles, it is better for the Navy to first use the ready-made MDS as the master to develop an underwater MDS that can quickly dive in the water and carry out amphibious assault and special mission operations. That way, his subordinates wouldn't have to rock their oars over land or practice swimming in the pond every day......

The General Armament Department did not slack off after receiving this application report. A feasibility study was carried out immediately. Their conclusions were basically the same as Blucher's, and the technicians also had some new ideas of their own.

Technicians have been able to foresee in the development process that even if the development of amphibious combat vehicles progresses smoothly, their cost will definitely be more expensive than the basic combat vehicles, and their number is not destined to be too much. However, the armor, firepower, and mobility of amphibious armored vehicles are destined to be worse than those of the main combat vehicles, and in addition, if the overly ostentatious floating amphibious combat vehicles may not be able to achieve psychological impact, they will also attract fierce blows from air power. There are too many technical difficulties in the submersible tank......

And finally, most importantly. This is because Alfheim is located landlocked and has no strategic environment of the sea. The need for amphibious vehicles is not urgent. The Defence Forces, dominated by the Army and Air Force, are destined to show little interest in this expensive toy with limited battlefield survivability. Even in countries such as Charlemagne, Lapland, and Castile, where there are many river systems, they would rather have cheaper, more abundant, and less difficult mechanized assault bridges to develop. Or call it an engineering bridge-building chariot.

Not only can it achieve the perfect combination of surprise, speed, and terror, but it is also much less technically difficult than a stagnant amphibious vehicle, and since there is no need to think about maneuvering in the air and limiting the weight, it is completely possible to increase the armor thickness and larger caliber rocket launchers or recoilless guns on the outside of the body. Once ashore, you can use the levitation technique to slightly leave the ground, and then maneuver quickly as if you were sliding. Finally, the most important point is: This will increase the number a lot......

With intentions, the two sides hit it off. Since then, the R&D work has been quite smooth, and the core design concept of MDS is to emphasize high versatility and high adaptability to various battlefield environments. In order to adapt to the special underwater environment, we have added an underwater breathing mechanism to the basic model, carried out water pressure resistance, streamlined design, and changed the propulsion method.

After a series of realizations, continuous improvements were made to address the various problems that occurred in the experiment. So far, the Navy has developed 、、、 four prototypes, and the results are also gratifying. Recently, Lieutenant Colonel Henschel Technology, who had been unsuccessful in his bid for the tank, had also begun to approach the Navy, with the ambition of developing an amphibious assault mobile fortress in the shape of a giant red lobster......

The shape shì development is good though. But after all, it belongs to the scope of petty fights. And because of the strange appearance of those aquatic animals, as well as the signboard of the navy, the army officers of the good thing gave the navy a nickname for the four trial machines, and the naval unit also got a nickname, which really made the navy depressed.

In addition, the navy appeared as subordinate to the army from the beginning, and the voice of asking for budget appropriations to tilt towards itself has never sounded, and even the tricks have repeatedly failed, so the navy is the most demoralized among the various branches of the armed forces, until it ushers in the current turning point.

"Lieutenant Colonel Blucher must have been satisfied this time, and finally got the toy of his dreams from Rose. ”

Tyr smiled wryly and shook his head, he was too impressed by the Commander's stroke-like excitement.

Li Lin shrugged his shoulders and teased like a father who uses toys to make children obedient and learn:

"The Air Force is also, although it is an unfinished floating cruiser, but it has been completed nearly 7 percent, after the surveying and mapping repair, it is still possible to complete and put into use as a training ship, and the worst can also allow the design department of the floating ship to learn and observe the construction and design of the physical floating ship. ”

"If it weren't for the letter from the Grand Duke from that Captain Kolchak, I would not have believed that the Red Navy, which had kept the nations of mankind awake at night, and their shipyards, had reached the point where they had to make a living by selling warships and making civilian goods. ”

Without the excitement and composure just now, Tyr's expression had a rare sigh.
