Although the aircraft currently used by the navies of the United Kingdom and the United States are all monoplanes, due to problems such as insufficient engine power and the weight of metal materials, most aircraft are still constructed with a combination of metal and wooden frames, with large wings.
Most of them have fabric skins or semi-metal skins. In terms of flight speed, altitude, range, bomb load, firepower, stability, etc., they are not at the same level as federal aircraft. Their overall level cannot even catch up with the second generation of federal aircraft.
airplane.
In addition to the naval carrier-based aircraft mentioned above, the Federal Air Force also shined in this South China Sea War and gave other countries a very formal warning: Once there is a war with the South China Sea Federation, there will be no front or rear.
There is a difference.
Countries have different approaches on how to prevent this kind of high-altitude bombing by the South China Sea Federation. The United States believes that the United States has a vast territory, sufficient strategic depth, and abundant resources, so they agree more with the development direction of large-density ground-based air defense weapons.
Therefore, the U.S. Army is stepping up the development of several types of special anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns, and it is said that certain results have been achieved.
At the same time, the Americans are also very interested in the strategic air strikes of the South China Sea Federation. They are trying to understand the data of the high-altitude bombers equipped by the Federal Air Force in many aspects, and are trying to develop and develop their own horizontal bombers. However, due to the Federal
The military has always done a good job in keeping this area confidential, so the US side has not made any progress in this area.
As the British have a narrow territory, small strategic depth and limited resources, they believe that they cannot get the opponent's planes to fly overhead and then attack them. They must block the enemy's planes from crossing the border. Based on this point of view,
The British pay more attention to using aircraft to deal with aircraft. They are stepping up the development of an aircraft specially used for air combat and named it an interceptor. From this point of view, the British seem to be smarter than the Americans, at least in the way they are going.
The direction is right.
In addition, according to reports from the Ministry of the Interior's eyeliners in the British Navy, someone in the British Navy has begun to study a device similar to radar, but it has not yet been approved by the Ministry of the Navy. The Ministry of the Interior is still following up on the specific details. Liu Fu is concerned about this intelligence
He is still very concerned. He has instructed the Ministry of the Interior to find out the extent of radar research in the British Navy and try to stop or destroy it if possible.
In addition to the advantages in weapons and equipment such as submarines, aircraft carriers, carrier-based aircraft, and bombers, Liu Fu believes that the South China Sea Federation also has an absolute advantage in one aspect, that is, in how to use these new weapons, the federal military is already far ahead.
In front of the world.
Weapons such as submarines, aircraft carriers, and aircraft are no longer the same as traditional firearms and artillery. They are no longer just a weapon, but contain a whole set of systems. Guns and artillery can be equipped quickly.
In the hands of anyone, with simple training, they can exert their basic performance. Of course, if more systematic training is available, the power of firearms and artillery can be exerted even better.
However, as the technological content of weapons becomes higher and higher, equipment such as submarines, aircraft carriers, and aircraft can no longer be used by every soldier through simple training. They are more specialized. Without systematic and long-term training and
Learn, these new weapons may not even be able to perform their most basic functions.
Let’s use airplanes as an example. A qualified fighter pilot must undergo one to one and a half years of training in the federal air force before he can be formally trained on a plane, and then after another two years and nearly 400 hours of flight training, he can be officially considered a federal fighter pilot.
For air force pilots, the flight training time for the federal naval aviation is even longer. This training time is calculated by entering aviation school directly after graduating from high school. If you start training as an ordinary soldier, the training time will be longer.
Becoming a qualified Air Force pilot is the first step. Then you have to continue to participate in training in the Air Force or Navy, from single-aircraft combat projects to dual-aircraft combat projects, and then to small aircraft fleet and large aircraft fleet combat projects.
Wait, you have to master it proficiently. Only in this way can you ensure that you can use the full performance of the aircraft when you fly it to participate in combat.
In a real war, the consumption of pilots is very high, because once the plane is hit, there may not even be a chance to parachute. Even if you have the opportunity to parachute, there will not be a flat grassland waiting for you below.
.You are faced with landing at sea, in
The test of landing in mountainous areas, landing over woods, or even landing over cities. Who will save you when you fall in the vast sea? Who will save you when you fall on a cliff? Who will save you when a branch hurts your body?
You? Who will rescue you when you are blocked by roof wires?
Even if you escape all dangers and obstacles in these areas and successfully land on the ground, there is still more than a 50% chance that this is an enemy-occupied area or simply on the land of a hostile country. At that time, etc.
The only options for you are capture, prisoner of war camp, interrogation or execution.
Therefore, if you want to have a strong air force, it is not enough to just have aircraft. From ground command to airport construction, from fuel reserves to reserve personnel reserves, it must become an effective system. According to the current development situation of countries around the world
In other words, in addition to the South China Sea Federation, which has been building in this regard step by step
It has been a while, and other countries are still in an era of enlightenment. For them, how to develop and produce better equipment is the most important thing at present. As for other things, it is not that they don't want to think about it, but
Without practice and time, I really can’t consider these things.
The South China Sea Federation has a great advantage in this regard. Since the establishment of the Taiwan Air Force in 1906, two batches of federal fighter pilots have retired. Most of these people have become flight instructors or civilian pilots. This is also the case for United Airlines.
An important reason why it is able to dominate the world's air transport industry is that Liu Fu is the largest shareholder of this company, and Liu Fu has an abundant reserve of pilots.
In the past ten years or so, the Federal Air Force has trained tens of thousands of fighter pilots, and this number is still growing at a rate of several thousand every year. The federal civil aviation schools have also graduated almost the same number.
Although the training of civil aviation pilots is far from that of fighter pilots, they can still be used by the Air Force through intensive training in wartime in a relatively short period of time. This is also a kind of talent reserve.
In addition to these, Liu Fu also has a secret weapon, which is the radar system. When the war develops from queuing to kill, digging pits to shoot, artillery clusters, and naval gun bombardment, the human eye alone can no longer satisfy more
There is a need for advanced warfare. When high-speed and highly concealed weapons such as aircraft and submarines are invented, how to detect the enemy first has become the most important problem in war.
Obviously, it is no longer possible to rely on telescopes, artillery scopes, optical fire control, hot air balloons and other means to deal with opponents such as aircraft and submarines. At this time, we must respond to the development of weapons and at the same time improve information collection.
capabilities. As far as the world is concerned, submarine detectors have been invented and put into practical use. Although they are still a little rough and crude, they will soon be further strengthened and improved. Warfare has always been the best in science and technology.
catalyst.
The federal navy and air force are equipped with more advanced equipment such as radar, but it has not been discovered by other countries. Currently, only the United Kingdom and the United States are conducting similar research in the world, but there is still a gap between actual use. Only the South China Sea Federation has
Only Liu Fu, a half-immortal, was lucky enough to develop this kind of equipment one step ahead.
For future wars, it can be said that with and without radar, the two sides have been separated by a level from the starting line. Especially for the two branches of the Air Force and the Navy, who can discover the other side first without being caught?
The other party discovered that they had basically taken the initiative in this battle. (To be continued...)
