354 Li Yan’s Vision for the Future of the Navy and Air Force

Just as Li Yan expected, after experiencing this incident, Mary Joa had no thoughts about Li Yan for a while, but focused all her energy on the revolutionary army.

There is a reason why the five powerful families allowed the fourteen families to mess around.

Because we need these families!

So, why are the fourteenth family, which has been completely degenerated and idle all day long, needed again?

This is related to the Heavenly King, the ultimate weapon that the Celestial Dragons can use to suppress this world!

There are also many restrictions on the activation of the Heavenly King, otherwise it would have been used long ago, and among these restrictions, the Heavenly Dragon people need to pay the price of their lives.

It is precisely because of this that no matter how depraved or noisy the group of Celestial Dragons are, Im will continue to feed them with good food and drink.

After all, they are all important nutrients, nutrients that are necessary to use the King of Heaven!

However, Li Yan was satisfied with this development, but some people became more wary of him because of this.

------

Gaya Island, 10,000 meters above the sky.

Not far from Angel Island.

Apayado.

A huge modern air force base has been built.

Not only is the air force base, there are several huge factories on the edge of the base. This is the production line of fighter aircraft. Currently, fifty Mustang fighters can be produced every month.

As for the first batch of fighter planes to roll off the production line, except for the 24 Dorags, the rest have all been deployed here.

As for pilots, the 18th branch has also completed the training of nearly a hundred people.

What must be mentioned here is that one thing surprised Li Yan. Most of the soldiers recruited from the Sandians showed great enthusiasm for the profession of pilots and showed their ability in flying.

Absolute talent.

However, Li Yan was relieved when he remembered that this group of people had been riding "skateboards" or "skates" all day long, traveling quickly on the clouds at an altitude of 10,000 meters, or doing various difficult movements.

In short, after the same period of training, the sailors from the 18th branch were no match for the Sandians in the air combat simulation. They simply pushed the performance of the fighter planes to the limit and made many very imaginative things.

Maneuvering action.

So much so that in the newly put into use teaching materials at the Air Force Academy established by Li Yan in Apayado, more than 80% of the maneuvers were pioneered by Sandians.

This is... simply.

However, this is also a good thing for Li Yan.

With the presence of the Sandians, the development of our own air force can be greatly accelerated, right?

The main tower of the air force base in Taichung.

Looking outside through the glass, Zefa also sighed at the runways that were even thousands of meters long, as well as the various facilities and buildings in the base.

However, he also had a question.

"Li Yan, I see that the takeoff of your fighter planes only takes five hundred meters at most, but why are the several runways in the base several thousand meters long, and the longest runway is even more than 4,000 meters long?

"

Yes, Zefa doesn't understand at all what the significance of such a long runway is.

Isn't this a waste of manpower and material resources...

"Teacher Zefa, fighter planes are only part of our air force."

"You mean, there are other types of fighter jets that need longer runways to take off?"

"Yes, Levin's side has already started to develop and control the bomber after the Mustang fighter was finalized."

"bomber?"

I heard a new term again, but Zefa didn't understand at all what a bomber was.

"Because other forces currently do not have air forces, you will have a wrong feeling that fighter planes are used to attack the enemy. In fact, the main mission of fighter planes is to control the air!"

"Look, the Mustang fighter plane can only carry two aerial bombs at most, right?"

"So, although the Mustang fighter has ground attack capabilities, it is not strong!"

"On the one hand, it carries too few aerial bombs. On the other hand, whether it is bombing or strafing with cannons, it needs to be lowered to a very low altitude, or even completed by diving. This is not only inefficient for fighter aircraft

It’s also very dangerous.”

"In this way, even the Corona 18 type, as long as there are enough numbers and the timing is accurate enough, they can definitely pose a certain threat to the fighter planes when they dive to strike."

"So, Levin started researching an aircraft that had no air-to-air capabilities and could only attack the ground. It was named a bomber."

"The bombing aircraft is much larger than a fighter plane. It can carry dozens of times the ammunition of a fighter plane at a time, and it can directly carry out covering bombing on the enemy from a very high position."

"Of course, with such a huge fuselage and its weight, the taxiing distance required for takeoff is naturally longer."

On the side, after hearing Zefa's question, Li Yan also opened his mouth to explain.

Not to mention, before Li Yan explained this, Zefa really thought that the so-called fighter planes were used to attack the ground.

But he didn't expect that Li Yan told himself that this was a misunderstanding?

"I see. I didn't expect that the Air Force is divided into fighters and bombers. It's really enlightening!"

"Actually, there are more than just these two!"

"still got more?"

Hearing this, Zefa's eyes widened.

"Yes, for example, before I built the East China Sea Navy, the warships in this world were only distinguished by size."

"Today, the navy in the East China Sea is divided according to function, and is divided into battleships, cruisers, destroyers, frigates and patrol ships, and several other types of ships will appear in the future."

"In this way, when designing warships, we can design warships that are more professional in certain aspects according to different types. Professional people do professional things. This sentence is the same when it comes to warships."

"The air force I build will also follow this concept in the future. In my vision, in addition to air superiority fighters and ground attack bombers, the air force will also have reconnaissance aircraft, transport aircraft, early warning aircraft, etc.!

"

"Even in the future, I will combine the navy and the air force to create a special warship. This warship will have almost no weapons, but will have a flat deck hundreds of meters long, can carry a large number of fighters, and can

Let it complete takeoff and landing on it."

"I named this imagined battleship an aircraft carrier."

hiss...

At this moment, Zefa really wanted to open his disciple's head and see how long his brain was and how he could come up with so many novel ideas.

The key is that what he is thinking is not just random thinking, but is being realized bit by bit.

A special warship that can carry a large number of fighter planes cruises on the sea and can attack any target within thousands of kilometers at any time.

What an appalling power this will be?
