Chapter 604: 604 Environmental Protection Duo
Chapter 604 604 Environmental Protection Duo
“Theoretically, if we break in from the stern of the ship, we have the highest probability of hitting it.” Pointing to a model of a battleship on the table, the leading pilot explained to all the pilots standing around.
“The enemy ship may turn.” A young pilot looked down at the battleship model on the table and simulated the entire attack process in his mind. The other pilots didn't speak, they were also curious about this question.
These pilots were all carefully selected from the Air Force. Each pilot had independently completed at least 10 bomb-dropping missions and had rich experience in flying Stuka dive bombers.
The question was asked by a teenager from Bunas who had flown 40 bombing missions in a Stuka dive bomber. The documented bombing results included 20 machine gun bunkers, 15 artillery positions, and 5 air defenses. Firepower point.
He was only 20 years old, still very young. What surprised Tang Mo most was that this boy's name was Rudel. It seemed that this name did have an experience bonus for dive bombers.
As a dive bomber pilot, the young man named Rudel was very talented and had a third-class Thunder Medal hanging on his chest.
With the all-out war between Tang and Qi, Tang's medal system became more systematic: infantry, paratroopers, and marines could earn the White Blade Medal; naval battleships could earn the Furious Wave Medal; air force pilots could earn the Thunder Medal; and army armored soldiers could earn the Medal of Thunder. You can get the Cavalry Medal.
The second-line troops of the Air Force, including anti-aircraft artillery units, can receive the Aegis Medal; the Army's second-line troops, including artillery, can receive the Earth Fire Medal; and the Navy's submariners can receive the Abyss Medal.
In this way, each branch of the navy, army and air force has its own three medals, and each medal is divided into three levels.
Being able to hold the Third Class Thunder Medal shows that Rudel is already a very good pilot. Naturally, the instructor will answer his questions seriously.
Just listen to the instructor's explanation: "The enemy's warships are actually not very fast, so their turns are easy to predict."
As he spoke, he changed the position of the ship model and made a turning movement. The other hand then held a model of an airplane and made a swooping motion.
"We can follow their movements to adjust our dive angle. It's easy for us to do this because we are faster." He said, simulating the entire Stuka dive process: "Just pull up carefully! That's it. "
Indeed, almost all warships in the world, even Tang's own naval warships, do not have any anti-aircraft firepower.
All the artillery on the battleship have no anti-air shooting angles, and they do not have any anti-air aiming devices.
For battleships, the threat of aircraft has not yet appeared, so the only thing that can target Stuka dive bombers on battleships is the Maxim machine gun.
Real anti-aircraft guns haven’t appeared yet! Therefore, as long as these warships enter the attack range of aircraft, they will be quite dangerous.
“So, the angle of entry is chosen by us at will! The enemy does not have too strong interference firepower, so we will not encounter any obstruction when we cut from the rear.” The instructor continued.
"Then, they are relatively stationary to us, so we just need to drop bombs and attack according to past experience." After he finished speaking, he raised his head: "Are there any questions?"
“No more!” All the pilots shook their heads.
“The navy has deliberately transferred three freeships to simulate enemy warships. All personnel should seize the time to conduct actual combat training and be prepared to destroy enemy warships.” The instructor ordered loudly.
“Yes!” All the pilots immediately stood at attention and saluted.
…
At the airport ammunition depot, ground staff are replacing two types of 250kg and 500kg aerial bombs with delayed fuses.
The impact fuses prepared for attacking ground targets in the past were obviously not that effective when attacking ships, so the Datang Group worked overtime and urgently produced this batch of fuses specifically designed to deal with warships.
These fuses were all shipped from Copper City, along with some newly produced aerial bombs.
The airport near Linshui is now fully operational, and an additional civilian airport has even been built south of this military airport.
Of course Tang Mo knew that the significance of airplanes was not limited to war. Its emergence had completely subverted the human transportation model.
Air transportation has shortened human travel time to hours, and a distance of several thousand kilometers can be crossed in only three to five hours.
Since then, the concept of global village has truly emerged, and the time saved in this process is simply inestimable.
If one person saves a few hours, all mankind can speed up by decades! What does it mean that something that once took three months to be delivered can now be delivered in just a few hours?
In fact, Tang Mo regrets a little now. He regrets that in order to maintain his fleet advantage, he did not come up with something like torpedoes in advance.
Previously, his torpedo development progress followed the progress of his submarine development, but now it seems that it is obviously a bit late. If he now has aviation torpedoes, his aircraft's ability to destroy the opponent's warships will be greatly enhanced.
During the period when the enemy had no anti-aircraft guns, the damage effect of torpedo planes was obviously stronger than that of dive bombers.
Tang Mo was very depressed. He felt that he should not worry about technology leakage. Because Matthews told him a few days ago that if Cyric wanted to imitate a torpedo, it would have to complete technological breakthroughs in at least seventy major directions.
This is basically impossible, so Cyric cannot imitate weapons such as submarines or torpedoes at all.
If it was just an experiment to build a diving iron barrel, then Cyric would be able to do it. However, it is really a dream to build a submarine that can attack the Tang Dynasty fleet in the ocean.
But the fact is that the deal is already done. No matter how much Tang Mo regrets, he cannot let his subordinates conjure torpedo planes and aerial torpedoes out of thin air.
Hence, aerial bombs have become the only existing weapon that can be used against ships. As for shore defense artillery, Tang Mo despised this thing the most.
Tang Mo felt that manufacturing this kind of giant artillery that cost a lot of steel and was of little use was a complete waste of his time and resources.
Although various countries are still producing and equipping fortress guns or similar weapons in large quantities, Tang Mo has not equipped his troops with any of them.
He is keen on producing 155mm and 105mm cannons and giving these cannons excellent maneuverability, but he has no fondness for heavy artillery with a caliber above 200mm.
In fact, he also knew that some specific targets still needed large-caliber artillery to destroy them. It is indeed useful to make some heavy artillery, but he still has no such plan.
He seems a bit stubborn in this regard. He feels that he can use bombers to solve the problem of those solid fortifications.
This stubbornness comes from his past life memories: in the world he was familiar with, large-caliber artillery seemed to have been eliminated by mainstream countries.
Both Lighthouse and Rabbit are keen on using guided artillery shells and high-precision missiles to solve problems. Their artillery is generally only equipped with 155 mm caliber artillery.
However, because of the torpedo incident, Tang Mo realized that there seemed to be some problems with the future development direction of the weapons he controlled.
He cannot produce precision-guided weapons in a short time, so it seems that he really needs some large-caliber artillery to make a transition.
If we really wait to produce them when the troops are in urgent need of them, it seems that sometimes it is really too late. As a weapons dealer, Tang Mo certainly hopes to provide every soldier with the best equipment.
But now that he was also a part-time king, he had to consider whether it was cost-effective to provide the entire army with the most advanced weapons and equipment. Sometimes he also admitted that even the wealthy lighthouse country did not have the ability to provide a sufficient number of missiles to every soldier.
In fact, another reason why the troops are not equipped with large-caliber artillery is poverty! Tang Mo needed more tanks, more aircraft, and more warships, so he had to make compromises on large-caliber artillery.
He issued the Beretta 92F pistol to his troops for similar reasons: this pistol is easy to produce and cheap, and there is nothing special about the materials. Compared with the M1911 pistol, it seems to be more suitable for mass production and equipment troops.
The same goes for choosing the 7.62X39 bullet: although its performance is not excellent, this type of bullet is easy to produce, cheap and does not have any technical difficulty.
A C-47 transport plane slowly landed on the runway of a civilian airport. The door opened and two men got out of the plane first and walked down the ramp.
The two of them are the only staff members of the Environmental Improvement Project Department of Datang Group. The purpose of their trip is to investigate the industrial wastewater discharge problem in Linshui.
An important reason for their coming here is that the fisheries sector is responding to the problem of reduced catches: this may trigger a food shortage crisis.
If they were not worried about food issues, they would not be alarmed by the two staff members in charge of environmental protection. After all, there is no basic concept of environmental protection in this world.
“It’s much better than the air in Copper City.” The young assistant twitched his nose twice and said with a look of enjoyment.
As the only environmental authority in the group, this middle-aged man confirmed his assistant’s statement. However, it is obvious that he does not think that this is the factory's own contribution: "Well, after all, this is a coastal place, isn't it?"
“Then what should we do now?” the assistant continued to ask curiously.
"Go to the seafood market and have a look. Maybe the situation there is similar to the situation near Longgang." The middle-aged man was a little worried and said: "If it is the same, we need to write a report to His Majesty the King."
—
There have been a lot of things at home these two days, Long Ling's condition is very bad, and it is difficult to maintain updates. I even feel that my writing is not good, please forgive me! There are still two updates today, so let’s postpone the update by one day... We’ll see what the status is tomorrow.
