Chapter 870 871 A Familiar Different World
As the Yangmu Empire is the first and probably the only country in the Eastern Continent to purchase Butcher fighter jets, the Tang Empire is still very proud of it.
First of all, when the two parties signed the contract, they agreed to some requests of the Yangmu Empire: the most important one was that after the Yangmu Empire purchased 500 Butcher fighter jets in succession, the Tang State purchased the Butcher fighter jet production line for 30 million yuan. Sold to Poplar Empire.
After selling the production line, the Tang Empire will acquiesce to the Yangmu Empire to continue to produce Butcher fighter jets. Each aircraft only needs to pay a patent royalty of 50 gold coins to the Tang State.
With this contract, the Yangmu Empire almost overnight became the country with the most powerful air force fighter force in the Eastern Continent.
In the future, they are likely to form an air force with more than 1,500 Butcher fighter jets, which is obviously very terrifying.
Obviously the Yangmu Empire has its own ambitions. Otherwise, they would not be so eager to build such a large air force.
After Duke Rebert signed a huge order to purchase Butcher fighter jets, he also purchased a bomber production line from Datang Group.
The Tang Empire packaged and sold the HE-111 drawings and production lines to the Yangmu Empire, which cost the Yangmu Empire an additional 70 million gold coins.
This is a fixed price, which is equivalent to buying a solution directly from Tang State in a package. The Yangmu Empire was very satisfied because they suddenly had very advanced air-to-ground strike methods.
As a result, both the Poplar Empire's northern neighbor, the Ice Empire, and its southern neighbor, the Sussus Empire, began to worry about their ground troops.
The Sussus Empire purchased the drawings and production lines of the French Type 451 bomber. Datang Empire personnel helped assemble it, and the production was completed by the Sussus Empire's own workers and engineers.
The entire set of equipment costs 40 million gold coins, which is quite affordable. Although the Susas Empire finally increased the price to purchase the Type 406 fighter jet, it was still at a disadvantage in the air arms race with the Yangmu Empire.
The Ice Empire also had no choice but to spend money to purchase SB2 bombers from the Tang Empire. However, the performance of this bomber was not very good and was not as good as the HE-111 bomber, so the price was very cheap.
The entire production line and the blueprints were sold by Tang State for only about 20 million gold coins, which indeed made the Ice Empire very happy.
The Lions Empire was naturally not to be left behind. After seeing that the three northern countries were purchasing Datang Group aircraft on a large scale to expand their own air forces, they also gave up their own plans to develop new aircraft.
There is no other way. Developing new aircraft by yourself is too slow and risky. The results are far away and there is no hope. If you want to improve the strength of your air force in the short term, you can only spend money to buy.
Fortunately, there are shipping subsidies from Bunas Port, and the economic situation is not bad. Gritting the teeth, the Lions Empire still purchased two types of aircraft designed by the Datang Group: one is the Hurricane fighter, and the other is the Hampton bomber.
From here, it can be seen that the bombers sold by Datang Group are all small and medium-sized bombers with small bombing radius and low bomb load.
So although they are more powerful than tactical bombers such as the Stuka, the technical level of the bombers sold by Datang Group to various countries is indeed not high. Expecting this kind of aircraft to tear through the air defense line of the Tang Empire is still no different from death.
In fact, except for the Yangmu Empire who gritted its teeth and forcefully bought the Butcher fighter jets currently in service from the Datang Group, the level of air force fighter jets in other countries is not very good either.
The Dorne Empire subsequently joined the procurement, and the Goblin Kingdom also sent its own envoys to inspect the Tang Empire.
While these countries were desperately buying various types of fighter jets produced by the Datang Group and setting up new domestic production lines, no one knew that the Datang Empire had already formed a brand new air force fighter force.
The first batch of Liuye was delivered for use at the end of the third year of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, the single-seat fighter jets of the Datang Empire Air Force began to have all-weather combat capabilities.
The area around Long Island has been classified as a military restricted zone for more than half a year. In addition to the fact that ships from other countries are not allowed to enter the nearby waters, the airspace is also completely blocked.
The Tang Empire was experimenting with its aircraft carrier fleet in this area, and at the same time was training new fighter pilots. Every day you can hear sounds like thunder here, and Liu Ye takes off from every military airport almost every hour. The Datang Group is frantically training fighter pilots, and the Datang Empire is slowly reducing the number of Butcher fighter equipment.
Countries around the world also developed rapidly during this period. This period has been called the second blowout of world industrial development in history.
On the military front, the weapons and equipment of various countries have become dazzling in recent years: not to mention main battle equipment, even cars, there are no less than 100 types of equipment from various countries.
Six-wheeled, four-wheeled, off-road capable but not off-road, wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicles, half-track armored vehicles, all kinds of different.
Even some countries equip their own car models with different models, and the early models and mid-term models purchased in batches are also different.
Because it is in the exploratory stage, and Datang Group is on the side, and the needs of different countries are indeed different, it is not surprising that the models are diverse.
Take the half-track vehicle as an example: Tang State does not equip this vehicle itself because its shortcomings and advantages are too obvious. Tang Mo is very aware that this kind of weapon and equipment will be completely eliminated in the future.
But other countries did not know this. After seeing the advantages of this kind of vehicle, they decisively started large-scale installation.
As a result, a scene that made Tang Mo laugh and cry appeared like this: After purchasing the Butcher FW-190 fighter jet, equipment and HE-111 bomber, and creating a similar sd.kfz.251 half-track armored vehicle... The Yangmu Empire seemed to be more powerful than the Tang Empire. More like Sandoku.
In fact, while the salesmen of the Datang Group were working hard to offer kickbacks to sell weapons designs that the Datang Empire did not like, Tang Mo found that the world in front of him was becoming more and more fantasy.
The Sussac Empire, which purchased a large number of French aircraft, looks very much like France. The Lynes Empire, which purchased a large number of British aircraft, is even more British-style.
As for the Ice Empire where he sent the "Ula" slogan in a mean-spirited way, it was simply a different world version of the Soviet Union. Look at the goblins... well, even the people from a certain country who lived a good life... are all here!
In order to make these goblins look even more damned, Tang Mo had the urge to give away the Zero Fighter to them.
When the time comes, I can grow big mushrooms myself, choose two good ones and send them to these Japanese slaves, and even the guilt seems to be -5, wouldn't it be wonderful?
This is originally an era of great technological development. Various countries are producing experimental products one after another, and the military has become a huge testing ground.
After radio equipment began to lose its mystery, countries all hope to establish their own tactical-level radio communication networks.
Therefore, equipment such as specialized radio armored vehicles, radio command vehicles, and power generation vehicles also began to appear in large numbers. Similar equipment that had been eliminated by the Tang Empire was sold to these countries as treasures.
Commanders from all over the world are exploring and experimenting with new tactics and tactics: they follow the example of the Tang Empire in forming mixed forces, and imagine themselves on the training ground as the Datang Empire three years ago.
At this moment, they finally understood how crushing the Tang Empire was when it defeated the Great China Empire three years ago, and finally saw the true power of tactical communications.
This is so useful! After the spread of radio stations to battalion-level combat units, the response speed of the entire unit suddenly increased to a higher level!
Of course, the price of radio equipment imported from the Tang Empire, many of which came from shady sources, obviously does not allow it to be transferred to battalion-level combat units.
So all countries can only use their own imitations to replace them: the self-produced ones are stupid, big and dark, which can only solve the problem of availability. In the end, they can only be carried on the back of cars.
With such a large size and heavy weight, it is obviously impossible for soldiers to carry it on their backs. Therefore, the best way is to equip higher-level troops first, and then test downwards little by little.
Since then, popularizing radio in regiment-level troops has become a goal for all countries around the world. They want to bring their combat effectiveness to the level of the Tang Empire three years ago before the next war comes.
But in the blink of an eye, it has been four years since the Tang Dynasty. Countries around the world who were working hard to prepare for war were surprised to find that the war still did not break out.
