Chapter 142: No MiG Corridor? I'll Build My Own!
He rubbed his aching temples and eyes.
Fang Yu's brain started to work rapidly.
Logistics, the most fundamental issue is logistics.
Even in ancient times, there was a saying that food and supplies should be sent before troops move forward.
Before, Fang Yu had also laughed at the ancients for deceiving themselves.
With only hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they dare to claim to have 500,000 or even 1 million soldiers, just to bluff.
But later Fang Yu realized that those ancient generals did not lie.
With 100,000 frontline soldiers, at least 400,000 auxiliary soldiers are needed to transport food for them!
The reason why the war was so costly was closely related to the huge logistical expenses.
Often, because the distance is long, every time food is transported to the front line, ten times the amount of food is consumed on the road.
Therefore, transportation lines can also be said to be the lifeline of war.
Once logistical transportation is interrupted, the soldiers on the front line will not only not be able to continue fighting, but will also starve to death.
Although, relying on the rocket launchers developed by themselves, the Dragon Kingdom soldiers opened up a transportation route.
However, due to the lack of air superiority, many of the supplies transported from Longguo to the front line were burned by the fierce bombing of the Eagle Sauce bombers.
Therefore, although the logistical supply situation of the Dragon Kingdom warriors in this life is much better than in the previous life.
But compared with the Eagle Sauce, it is still far inferior.
Therefore, the most important problem now is how to build a transportation channel with large capacity, safety and reliability under the heavy bombardment of the Eagle Sauce.
The most important problem here is how to deal with the bombers of the United States.
Although we have now developed the PG99 anti-aircraft gun, after experiments, it can effectively strike aerial targets.
However, those were only medium and low altitude targets.
The maximum firing height of PG99 is only 4000 meters.
For flying targets within range, it can naturally hit the target with every shot with the help of the fire control radar.
But for targets out of range, PG99 is powerless.
However, the bombers of the United States are no longer the old-fashioned bombers like B24 and B25 that must dive to a certain altitude before bombing.
After World War II, they had developed the B29 super bomber nicknamed "Flying Fortress".
This behemoth has a maximum take-off weight of 60 tons and can reach a maximum flight altitude of over 10000 meters.
At the same time, it can indiscriminately drop bombs weighing up to nearly 9 tons on enemy positions at an altitude of up to 6000 meters.
Use this rain of steel to turn the opponent into ruins!
Even the famous "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" were dropped on the land of Sakura by this bomber.
This is enough to prove how much the Americans trust this bomber.
6000 meters!
This is no longer a firing height that any anti-aircraft gun can reach.
Even if Fang Yu started to modify the PG99, I'm afraid the performance wouldn't improve much...
Fang Yu picked up the teacup, sipped the warm tea slowly, and stared at the sword tip outside the window in a daze.
So, does this mean that we must research large air defense missiles like S300 to deal with B29?
After a moment's silence, Fang Yu shook his head to himself.
It's inappropriate, totally inappropriate.
The B29 is indeed the Blue Planet's top bomber and a target worthy of being hit by air defense missiles.
But still the same sentence.
The economic foundation of Longguo is still too weak.
The cost of an S300, even calculated based on current prices, is at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars per unit.
With Longguo's current fiscal revenue and foreign exchange earnings, even if all of them were used to manufacture air defense missiles, only a few could be produced.
Although he could shoot down the Eagle Sauce's plane, he would also go bankrupt, which is not worth it.
I must come up with a weapon that is both effective against the B29 and economical...
When Fang Yu thought of this, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Like other products in the world, weapons and equipment are worth what you pay for.
It is simply unrealistic to have both.
After all, how can sugarcane be sweet at both ends?
But at this moment, Fang Yu suddenly had an idea.
Since I didn't exist back then, the Dragon Kingdom eventually defeated the Eagle.
That means they must have found a way to curb the other side's bombing.
In an instant, a dusty memory flooded into Fang Yu's mind.
Then, Fang Yu slapped his thigh hard.
Yup!
The only weapons that can shoot down an airplane are anti-aircraft guns and missiles.
Isn't there another plane option?!
Back then, it was with the help of the Russian Bear that Longguo built the famous MiG Corridor.
It is through this transport line that countless supplies are safely delivered to the hands of frontline soldiers.
However, because of his appearance, the relationship between the Bear Country and the Dragon Country came to an end more than ten years earlier.
In the event of a complete breakdown, the Bear Country will naturally not take the initiative to provide the Dragon Country with MiG-15 fighter jets and Bear Country's flight instructors to help.
This is why I am still worried about Longguo’s logistics supply line.
Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in Fang Yu's eyes.
Since the timeline has changed because of me, Longguo no longer has the assistance that should have been there.
Then I will build an airplane belonging to Dragon Country with my own hands to fill this gap!
Since there is no MiG Corridor, I will build a Dragon Country Corridor with my own hands!
After making up your mind.
With a sense of mission, Fang Yu ambitiously began to design Longguo's first fighter jet.
It is actually not difficult for a fighter to shoot down a B29.
Even an old World War II aircraft like the P51 can easily take out a formation of B29s.
But the difficulty is that in order to shoot down the B29 bomber, he must first kill the F86 escorting it...
As the world's first supersonic jet fighter, its appearance almost absolutely crushed all previous fighters.
Even the P51, an ace fighter plane that could tear apart the Zero with its hands and kick the BF110 with its feet during World War II.
In front of the F86, which is faster, taller and stronger than it, it becomes a quail waiting to be slaughtered.
According to the Eagle Sauce's own aerial experiments, the combat loss ratio of the F86 and P51 reached an astonishing 10:1.
In other words, if the P51 wants to shoot down one F86, it will have to lose 10 or even more aircraft.
Even the MiG-15 has performance parameters similar to those of the F86.
The battle loss ratio of both sides also reached 1:1.3
This also shows that in this era, the F86 is the undisputed king of fighter jets!
His status is almost identical to that of the F22 in the 1990s...
If any country now says that it wants to build an aircraft with performance far exceeding that of the F86, it will probably be regarded as an idiot and ridiculed by all countries.
But, for Fang Yu, who has seen the "Eight-Winged Angel" J20 made in Longguo with his own eyes.
I totally disdain this statement.
After all, the Dragon Country, which has no system, can rely on its own continuous research and hard work to build a fifth-generation fighter jet that surpasses the F22.
Not to mention, I, who possess the system and have a clear understanding of the development trend of future fighter jets...
