Chapter 1116: 1117 New Weapon Promotion
Chapter 1116 1117 New Weapon Promotion
The conference room was filled with envoys from all over the world. They all came to the Tang Empire to purchase new weapons. In order to meet their requirements, the Datang Empire even specially called Linshui Mayor Harry back to the imperial capital Chang'an.
Now, many countries sitting here are even at war with each other. But in this room, these people who went out to fight against the bandits were all sitting quietly, waiting for Harry to promote the new weapons and equipment products of the Tang Empire.
"Not everyone can afford the most expensive weapons. Even if we are willing to sell missiles with a range of 2,000 kilometers, do you have the funds to purchase them? And... is it really cost-effective to use this kind of weapon to deliver ordinary bombs? ? "As an arms dealer, Harry is taking the trouble to explain to the procurement envoys from various countries what cost-effectiveness is.
There is no other way. They all hope to buy the Dongfeng missiles of the Datang Empire. Unfortunately, the Datang Empire is actually unwilling to sell such weapons.
The proliferation of missile technology needs to be a little more cautious. After all, the Tang Empire still has a lot of other technologies that have not been sold.
"In fact, if you don't want to threaten your neighbors, you don't need highly offensive weapons. For example, our latest bombers are actually not used by many countries." Harry said something that surprised many people present. A shameful fact.
Although the Tang Empire has taken out its own flying fortress and a more advanced new bomber called Type 29, everyone still feels that these things are not what they want.
What they want is the new type of bomber from the Tang Empire that can emit dragon roars, the kind of terrifying super weapon that can throw away all intercepting aircraft with its incredible speed.
It is a pity that the Tang Empire listed this new type of aircraft as not for sale, just like the Butcher fighter jets and Flying Fortresses back then.
"Our desire for new technology is still very urgent! Mr. Harry! We hope to have more advanced weapons and equipment... to thwart the ambitions of other countries." When the special envoy of the Yangmu Empire spoke, he glared at the ice in the distance. Imperial envoy.
"We have an advanced propeller fighter here that can fly at a speed of 750 kilometers per hour. Although it is worse than our most advanced fighter jets, it is very cheap!" Harry continued to tirelessly sell outdated weapons. He was saying this I even felt like my heart was bleeding when I was speaking.
There is no way. Those junk airplanes before, such as P-36 and I-16, could be sold for sky-high prices.
It’s okay now, because the Tang Army invested a lot of new weapons during the war. The new fighter jets that were originally planned to be updated for these countries could not be sold...
For example, the Tang Empire had been preparing Yak fighter jets for the Ice Empire before, but now it has become obsolete before it has been sold. Can it not make people feel distressed?
In addition to Yak fighter jets, the Tang State also prepared Zidian fighter jets for Qin, Spitfire fighter jets for the Lions Empire, and Mustang fighter jets for the Dorne Empire...
Of course, our old friend Yangmu Empire is definitely not bad either. What Tang Mo has prepared for them is the latest TA-152 fighter jet... Listen, listen... These are world-famous fighter jets!
So many advanced fighter jets, so many more advanced technologies, so many production lines that can be set up at any time! In the past, these were all good things that you couldn’t even buy!
It's a pity that Tang now has jet fighters, and these countries are not willing to spend money to buy outdated equipment. When they purchased low-wing monoplanes, each country spent tens of millions of gold coins! Now, they are not even willing to spend 10 million to buy the blueprints of advanced fighter jets.
Generally speaking, the price of aircraft is getting lower and lower: when the aircraft first appeared, a set of aircraft technology was directly sold for 100 million.
Later, the price of the second-generation monoplane was only worth tens of millions of gold coins. Nowadays, they are not even interested in getting these people to pay for the more advanced last generation piston fighter.
"You can buy a new fighter jet, as long as you have money." Harry was not used to these people. He opened his mouth and asked for a price that no one could accept: "30 million for one! Guarantee everyone You can crush your neighboring countries and gain vital air supremacy!”
“How much?” Hearing this price, everyone became uneasy: Why would you buy three planes for 100 million? 700 million may not be enough for a formation of 20 aircraft? Are you kidding me?
"Is it too expensive? I haven't told you the operating cost yet! The operating cost of that thing is three times that of a propeller plane! I will arrange pilot training for you immediately. They will have to wait 5 months at the earliest before they can join the war!" Ha! Lee continued to lie.
"What I recommend to you is really high-quality and low-priced. Why don't you believe it? Price! Quantity! This is the bottleneck that restricts you! Always want good things, good things are expensive!" He sneered. After making a sound, he continued to stab everyone's fragile little hearts: "The new aircraft can be sold at any time. If you want to buy it, hurry up!"
“Believe me, the performance of the aircraft I’m selling you now is on the same level as the pirate fighters used by our navy! They can effectively bring you a sense of security.”
"Really?" The Dornish Empire's envoy's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously left the sofa, leaned forward, and asked excitedly.
"Mr. Harry, are you telling the truth?" Upon hearing this, the envoys from the countries around the Endless Sea suddenly became interested.
What they need is indeed an aircraft that can offset the threat of the Tang Empire's navy's carrier-based fighter jets. "It's completely true. We will also sell pirate fighter jets together with the navy's latest weapons and equipment put into actual combat in this war - aircraft carriers! Again, as long as you have money! We are willing to provide you with more advanced Weaponry."
Tang Mo has already begun building second-generation aircraft carriers with tilted decks. These first-generation aircraft carriers that are 70% new are indeed ready to be sold.
Although the Navy's first-generation jet carrier-based aircraft, the Phantom, is still in the development and experimental stage, the Navy can't wait to welcome its new darling.
The tonnage of the new aircraft carrier has also been increased to 60,000 tons to balance the various problems caused by the increase in the size of jet fighters.
Since there are no early carrier-based aircraft models among the Soviet aircraft, the Navy of the Datang Empire followed the most serious American approach: there was no way, who made the second-generation carrier-based aircraft of Rabbit and Woolly Bear blank. This also put the Tang Empire on the path of two different systems for land-based and sea-based aircraft.
That’s right, the Tang Empire’s first-generation carrier-based aircraft plans to use the F4 Phantom fighter, which is actually not very easy to use.
Although the performance of this thing in the Vietnam War was not much better than that of the MiG-21, the design idea is obviously on the right track: it at least has room to install a large-aperture radar, and it can be used for a while if it is improvised. time.
However, the dogfighting capabilities of this kind of aircraft are really hard to describe. Even the model equipped with organic cannon is much worse than the MiG-21.
In addition, the Navy is also preparing to purchase a brand new carrier-based attack aircraft to replace the old Stuka dive bomber. The new aircraft chose the A-6 carrier-based attack aircraft with the best general performance.
Since then, in addition to the Type 6 fighter jets and Type 6 bombers of the Air Force, the Navy also has an additional aircraft called the Type 6 attack aircraft...The legend of the Type 6 aircraft of the Datang Empire has begun to become a household name.
In order to meet these two future new aircraft, the second-generation aircraft carrier of the Datang Empire Navy adopted many new technologies: including angled decks and a brand-new device called a steam catapult.
The new device allows the aircraft to take off faster through a shorter runway. Therefore, the structure of the new naval aircraft must be strengthened, and it is inevitable to sacrifice part of the flight performance for this purpose.
In short, the air force and naval aviation of the Datang Empire have begun to enter the jet age. At the same time, the civil aviation aircraft of the Datang Empire have also begun to serve several models of jet aircraft.
Tang Mo had no choice but to be fed up with the slowness of propeller-driven passenger planes. He hoped to travel more efficiently, so the production of passenger planes started even earlier than the Phantom fighter jets that the Navy was eager to use.
Hearing that aircraft carriers could be sold, envoys from various countries began to make serious calculations: if they could build a fleet with aircraft carrier cover, those battleships that had invested huge sums of money in the past would seem less useless.
As long as they are protected by aircraft carrier-based aircraft, these expensive battleships can approach the enemy's coastline and even engage in a decisive battle with the enemy's fleet in the ocean... The picture is so beautiful that it is unbelievable.
"In addition! The Tang Empire has decided to sell advanced submarine technology to everyone! Including torpedo technology used by submarines!" Harry then launched another product that made everyone crazy!
You should know that this technology was not for sale before! Moreover, various countries have tried their best to produce "high technology" similar products!
Everyone's enthusiasm was suddenly ignited. What they didn't know was that the World War I-level U-boat technology that the Tang Empire brought out was already obsolete at this moment...
That thing is noisy and slow. It can only ambush merchant ships and has a short range. It is simply an immature technology.
However, this thing is really attractive to all countries: anyway, they don't know that the sonar technology of the Tang Empire has been very perfect, so they can't wait to buy a submarine.
“We hope to purchase an aircraft carrier! How much does it cost?” The Yangmu Empire’s envoy raised his arms excitedly.
"The Ice Empire is willing to buy two aircraft carriers! Mr. Harry!" the dwarf envoy shouted angrily, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to buy them if he was too late.
—
Let’s make a complaint, the early days of the U.S. Navy’s carrier-based aircraft were all crooked... The slightly better skylight performance is really hard to describe...
