Chapter 1424 PPT is a big scam (first update, please subscribe)
The wheel of history often turns inadvertently. In this midsummer, in London, history is moving towards an unexpected direction in a very magical way. Turn in a known direction.
What’s the future like?
No one knows that for people in London, all they need is to enjoy the summer sunshine.
On the banks of the Thames, there are always people in twos and threes, enjoying the sunshine and enjoying life.
Meanwhile, on Whitehall Street, inside the Ministry of Defense building.
More than a dozen Royal Air Force generals were eagerly looking at the slides in front of them. Although the lights in the conference room had been turned off, there was an unconcealable look in the eyes of these generals.
Not to mention them, even the liaison officers from Canada, Australia and other Commonwealth countries in London also rushed to this place after hearing the news.
And now, what is presented to them?
It’s a miracle!
A miraculous idea!
What is the most attractive thing for soldiers?
Weapons, of course.
And it is the most advanced weapon.
Now!
That's it now!
The world's most advanced weapon was presented before their eyes, how could they not be excited?
"...As I introduced before, at present, the biggest threat to countries such as the United Kingdom and Canada is not ordinary air combat, but Russian strategic bombers..."
< br>Yu Hongji said, switching slides and introducing:
“This is the Soviet Union According to the basic combat concept of the Soviet army, the TU16 bomber and the MIA 4 strategic bomber will use the bombers to carry out nuclear raids on Western European countries and Canada as soon as the war breaks out. However, their bombers will not Like World War II, fly over the city and carry out bombings. ”
When he said this, the assistant had automatically switched the slide, and what appeared on the screen was a missile.
“This is the AS-5 "Salmon" air-to-surface missile that has just been put into service by the Soviet Union. According to our intelligence, not only can the Mia 4 long-range bomber carry this missile with a range of more than 200 kilometers, but it is also the first time we have Found it, it is carried by TU16. It is not just an ordinary anti-ship missile. It can be used for anti-ship and can also be used to attack important targets such as large railway bridges and power stations.
But its more important purpose After the war broke out, it carried nuclear warheads with a yield of more than 3 million tons and carried out nuclear raids on London, Berlin, Paris, Stockholm, Oslo and other cities. We believe that if it uses nuclear warheads, its range may extend to more than 300 kilometers. And this means that they can launch missiles hundreds of kilometers away..."
Facing the generals in front of him, Yu Hongji described the possibilities to them in as detailed a language as possible. what happens?
What will happen is simple, that is, TU16s will fly in groups, and then they will launch air-to-ground missiles like raindrops more than 200 miles away. Those flying at speeds exceeding A nuclear warhead carried on a Mach 1.3 missile would level the entire UK.
Here, the generals and staff of the Royal Air Force have been repeatedly rehearsing such a scene in the past few days. This has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
In other words, the fear has been deep in the bones. Even when Yu Hongji said all this, several officers nervously took out their cigarettes, lit them, and started smoking.
Only they know how terrifying such a scene is!
That would be the end of the world!
Once that happens, the whole of Britain will disappear from the world. After all, Britain... is too damn small!
So small that only a few dozen nuclear bombs are needed to destroy this country! It can completely wipe Britain off the face of the earth!
Because of this, these talents are constantly researching various ways of self-protection, but after researching and researching, they only get one result - they are finished!
Under the conditions of nuclear war, Britain has no chance of surviving!
The more we study, the more desperate the situation becomes, even leading several Royal Air Force officers to choose suicide. After all, there are always people who cannot bear this kind of despair.
“So, now, we need to fundamentally solve this problem...and it is a plan I give you and the UK, a plan that can save the UK!”
Although the words fell, the assistant did not switch the slides, and Yu Hongji's eyes wandered over these people. After a slight pause, he said:
"Just now, on the way here, I think of what I experienced when I was studying in the UK. "The Battle of Britain", at that time, the entire Great Britain was protected by the Royal Air Force. When the Royal Air Force won the air battle, Prime Minister Churchill once said: "In the field of human war, there have never been so few people who have such a strong interest in the air battle." Many people have made such great contributions. "And now..."
When recounting this air battle in which these Royal Air Force generals participated, Yu Hongji said in a solemn tone.
"History has once again given the important task of guarding Britain to the Royal Air Force, and it... is the Spitfire of the new era!"
The next moment, a new picture appeared on the screen On the slide, a picture of a fighter jet appeared in the sight of these generals.
Although it was just a simple picture, these Royal Air Force generals could still tell that this was a heavy fighter.
Twin tails, twin engines, and even the wings of the fighter jet are actually double triangles. Of course, they didn't know that the design of the double delta wing was actually to enhance its air combat capabilities. After all, for engineers accustomed to pursuing aircraft maneuverability, they were not satisfied with making a flying brick.
“Is this the plan you brought?”
“No, not what I brought, but what the Royal Air Force needs!”
Faced with questions , Yu Hongji said directly:
"It is the only interceptor aircraft in the world that can fly to an altitude of 30,000 meters and fly at three times the speed of sound..."
Three times the speed of sound!
Thirty thousand meters in the air!
In an instant, everyone was stunned. A general holding a cigar in his mouth even stared at this picture with his eyes wide open - can this guy really fly so fast?
“Different from ordinary fighter jets, its mission is to detect the Soviet bomber group far away from the UK at the first opportunity of war, based on the information provided by early warning aircraft and Allied ground radars - such as 1,000 Miles away, intercepting bomber groups, at During this process, it will first cruise at more than 2 times the speed of sound. If necessary, it can fly at 3 times the speed of sound, thereby gaining interception time. The Soviet bombers have not even flown over the Barents Sea and have just left home. He has already intercepted him..."
This is the biggest role of the triple supersonic interceptor - it is not for dogfighting, but for interception. Everything is born for interception. Every kilometer faster its speed means that the enemy's The bomber group was only one kilometer away.
Under the conditions of nuclear war, let alone 1km, sometimes 100m may save a city. After all, in that environment, missiles launched by enemy bomber groups could destroy a city at any time. Therefore, the farther the interception distance is, the safer the deep city is. Because of this, during the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union had their own dedicated interceptor aircraft. Of course, the United Kingdom is "Lightning", but the United Kingdom itself does not believe in that thing.
To a certain extent, those interceptors are flying bricks, but this does not hinder their role in the country's air defense network.
It’s just that those interceptors all travel at twice the speed of sound. Facing a huge group of bombers, there is not much advantage at all.
But now, what they saw was a big guy!
A big guy who can change the situation.
Not only is he able to charge at enemy bomber groups with triple the factor, but he is also capable of carrying heavy air-to-air missiles.
"According to the design, it can carry 6 to 8 heavy air-to-air missiles, and its range exceeds 160km. Our long-term goal is to reach 200km."
Yu Hongji then deliberately Emphasized:
"With its large radar, it can detect the enemy's bomber group 300km away and launch an attack. This means that only a few dozen of these heavy interceptor aircraft are needed to ensure that the UK can carry out the first round of air strikes. "Survived."
Then Yu Hongji stopped talking. There is no need to say anything more, because everyone knows very well what is the most important thing under the conditions of nuclear war?
It is survival.
This kind of survival does not mean avoiding a nuclear attack on the homeland, but doing everything possible to ensure that when the homeland suffers a nuclear attack, as few nuclear bombs as possible will be dropped.
If the Soviet Tu-16 bomber can be intercepted 1,000km away, then at least the number of nuclear bombs falling on the British mainland will be reduced by more than half.
Faced with such a temptation, how many people can resist it?
Moreover, it has been less than a year since the Cuban Missile Crisis ended. For these Royal Air Force generals who have experienced the Cuban Missile Crisis, they are deeply aware of the threat of nuclear war.
Because of this, there is a very urgent need for an interceptor aircraft that can truly intercept Soviet bombers.
Even if this kind of aircraft is less maneuverable, as long as it can shoot down Soviet bombers, it is enough. In fact, this was also the requirement of various countries for interceptor aircraft during the Cold War.
We have never considered the maneuverability of dog fighting at all.
Because the mission priorities were different, this type of aircraft became so-called "industrial waste" after the end of the Cold War. In fact, this was because the nature of the mission and the mission environment had changed.
But now, they really need this kind of plane!
Staring at the aircraft projected on the slide, these Royal Air Force generals communicated briefly and then asked:
"When can you complete the test flight?"
“Now that we have completed the basic design, as long as there is an injection of funds, we can complete the first flight within two years.”
Yu Hongji pointed to the projection on the screen and said.
“The aircraft you see now has undergone long-term wind tunnel experiments, and many technical problems have been solved.
As long as there are funds, we can complete it soon . ”
This is the fundamental reason why he came to England, to persuade the British to pay.
Developing fighter jets requires a lot of money, and this project cannot be sustained without the injection of international funds, because it is only a research project.
If you want to turn it from a picture into a reality, you must attract funds from the international community - that is, through international cooperation, to complete the entire project.
The UK is undoubtedly the best choice because the UK is really under real security pressure. Not only does it exist in the UK, but it also exists in Canada.
But despite this, after learning that the entire project required an investment of 400 million pounds, the British remained silent.
In response to their silence, Yu Hongji quietly added another bargaining chip.
"Generals, it is not just an ordinary interceptor. Under war conditions, it can also carry supersonic air-to-surface missiles and fight fire with fire hundreds of kilometers away. His body.”
It can also carry nuclear missiles!
At this moment everyone was conquered. The generals attending the meeting not only realized that this was an "air killer" that could send Soviet bombers to hell thousands of miles away, but it was also an "air killer" that could fly at twice the speed of sound and carry Soviet bombers from far away. A killer weapon that sends the city into hell.
Oh my God!
This is simply... perfect!
This is definitely the most perfect war machine ever created, yes, it’s him.
Looking at the generals who looked a little excited, Yu Hongji finally understood what it means to build an airplane with PPT... To put it bluntly, I will give you whatever you need.
As for whether I can be satisfied in the future... let's get the money out of the way first!
