Chapter 201: The Super Transporter Detonates the World, and the Airport is Crowded
The Hans State blocked the news that the Restoration Army had sent transport planes directly to Tempelhof Airport from the far east.
Because this time they sent a large-scale military team to the ancient country to cooperate with the Renaissance Army in the military field.
The fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better.
But for some reason, the news was leaked and was first known to the Figaro newspaper in Gaul, which reported it.
Then this news was also known to the top leaders of many countries in Western Continent.
Then major Western media outlets followed up with reports.
This news then became known throughout the West and attracted widespread attention.
Aviation is an emerging field that has attracted great interest among Western people.
John even organized the first Farnborough Air Show in 20 years.
The first Le Bourget Air Show in Gaul was also held in 09.
So aviation itself is a very hot topic.
The news that the transport planes of the Restoration Army will fly over tens of thousands of kilometers to reach the Tempelhof Airport in Hans is itself very hot and sensational.
So it is understandable that it was detonated.
In a short period of time, the Renaissance Army and the mysterious super transport plane became the focus of many people's discussions.
This has caused some pain to certain groups.
These people are exactly those who cannot accept that the ancient country has surpassed the entire West in the field of aviation, and there are quite a few people in this group.
Some military "experts" who were pushed to the front even questioned the authenticity of the Renaissance Army's intercontinental flight.
Because in their opinion, it is impossible for an airplane in this world to fly 10,000 kilometers without landing.
Even the world-famous Fusion Army Air Force couldn't do it.
Even if it can be done, it would be because the Renaissance Army has done something behind it.
These remarks have also been recognized by many white people in the West.
Because their proud self-esteem will not allow the yellow people, who they consider inferior, to be so far ahead of them in this field.
Some even instigated many people to march on Voss Street in Germania, hoping to use this action to prevent the Restoration Army's planes from landing.
Prime Minister Hilt was very depressed. He didn't expect that even though they were on high alert, the news still leaked out.
He realized that this matter should be related to the Renaissance Army.
Because the vested interests of the leak are the Restoration Army, their super transport plane that has not yet appeared has become the focus of the West and even the entire world.
But even if he had some guesses, he couldn't confirm them, so he could only cooperate with the Fuxing Army to direct this scene.
Therefore, this marching team was directly expelled and arrested by the secret police.
At the same time, the media in Hans' country also began to follow up on the report.
It immediately caused a huge sensation throughout Hans.
Especially the people in the capital Germania, the Renaissance Army's super transport plane will land at Tempelhof Airport, which directly ignited their enthusiasm.
Hundreds of calls were made to the airport operator that day, and even more people went to the airport in person to inquire about relevant information.
Tempelhof Airport was already crowded with people before the super transport plane landed.
This also allowed airport operators to discover business opportunities.
So they just came up with a ticket system.
On the day the super transport plane lands, if you want to see with your own eyes this transport plane that can fly tens of thousands of kilometers, you will have to pay.
And the price is not cheap, one ticket costs as much as 1 mark.
In those days, a Hans worker's monthly salary was only about 20 marks.
However, this still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people of Germania, after all, this is the capital.
Thousands of tickets were sold that day.
It’s not because there aren’t enough buyers, but because there are too many people and they can’t sell them all.
These chaotic situations were also reported to Jiang Hua through An Hongyi's long telegram.
"It seems our ad campaign was very successful. It hasn't even taken off yet, but people in the West are already talking about it a lot.
This airport has come up with a temporary ticket system, which is outrageous."
Ling Liang's cold face also wore a faint smile. He said: "As long as the flight plan is successful, then our Fuxing Army Air Force will undoubtedly become the world's number one air force."
"Yes, this flight plan is very difficult."
Jiang Hua had thought too simply before, thinking that the plane's range was enough.
But I didn’t know there were so many issues involved.
For example, route planning, navigation, weather and climate along the way, safety emergency measures, etc.
This is why the Air Force's transport planes have been slow to take off.
Because these problems have not yet been fully resolved.
If the plane takes off directly, the pilot won't know which direction to fly.
In order to solve these problems, the Air Force spent a full five days to get everything done.
At the same time, the C-124 transport aircraft used to carry out this mission was also modified.
For example, in order to have some redundancy in the range, the Air Force added four auxiliary fuel tanks to this transport aircraft.
These auxiliary fuel tanks can also be used on the return journey.
According to the Air Force's speculation, with the addition of these four auxiliary fuel tanks and carrying about 100 people, it is possible to fly tens of thousands of kilometers.
After all, these one hundred people plus their luggage only weigh about ten tons at most.
Considering the performance of the C-124 Globemaster strategic transport aircraft, this is not a problem at all.
After completing all preparations, the lightly loaded C-124 Globemaster transport aircraft embarked on the intercontinental route to the upcoming Tempelhof Airport.
This time the flight route did avoid the airspace of Tsarist Russia to prevent Tsarist Russia from making some crazy moves.
After all, the Renaissance Army had just conquered the Far East and still had 200,000 to 300,000 prisoners in their hands.
Tsarist Russia would not miss any opportunity for revenge.
So this time the route chose Central Asia, then flew over the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, and finally entered the Xizhou region. The whole journey was about 8500 kilometers.
Although this route will still fly over part of the Russian airspace, it will not be a big problem as long as you fly high enough.
If we go around again, the flight distance may really reach tens of thousands of kilometers.
So you can only take the risk once.
This 8500-kilometer range is also under the most ideal conditions.
If you encounter a thunderstorm area or severe weather conditions during the journey, you will need to fly around.
So the range is actually around 9000 kilometers.
In airspace of about 6000 meters, the C-124 Globemaster strategic transport aircraft flies at an economic cruising speed of 370 kilometers per hour.
Four Wasp engines with a total horsepower of 3800 provide it with powerful power.
These four engines combined produce 10,000 horsepower.
This also brings the maximum take-off weight of this transport aircraft to 88 tons.
Although it is completely incomparable to the modern strategic transport aircraft in the original time and space.
But in this era, even in the 50s, the performance of this transport aircraft is still unique.
It was not until the C-141 jet transport aircraft appeared that it replaced it.
A flight of about 9000 kilometers would still take 370 hours, or more than half an hour a day, even if the speed is maintained at 24.5 kilometers per hour throughout the journey.
Of course, this is still under the most ideal conditions. The Air Force estimates that it will take at least 25 hours to complete the journey.
However, the Air Force underestimated the danger of this journey.
If the C-124 had not been equipped with a weather radar, it would have encountered severe weather conditions many times, and survival would have depended entirely on luck.
At Hanstenburg Airport, a telegram was received from the Restoration Army Air Force Command just after the C-124 strategic transport aircraft took off.
This time the telegram only informed the estimated time of arrival.
As for the route, it is definitely top secret and they were not informed to prevent some interested people from making any moves.
You know, there are many countries in the West that are looking for opportunities to strike at the Restoration Army.
This is a great opportunity for them.
If they succeeded in intercepting the Renaissance Army's super transport plane, then the major Western media would definitely seize the opportunity to smear them the next day.
After the plane took off, Jiang Hua couldn't sleep at all and was waiting for news about the C-124 strategic transport aircraft.
After all, it was he who proposed this action.
"It would be great if there was a navigation system so we could monitor the movements of aircraft in real time."
At this time, Jiang Hua began to miss the days when there were GPS and Beidou navigation systems.
Unfortunately, with 55 years of technology, we are still a little far from having a global navigation system.
In the original time and space, the earliest global, all-weather satellite navigation and positioning system was not put into military use until 64 and into civilian use until 67.
This is the first generation of global navigation system of the United States - the Transit Satellite Navigation System.
So Jiang Hua was just thinking about it.
Fortunately, the ancient country's aerospace industry has just begun.
According to the report from Yuntian Base, they have successfully launched three explorer experimental satellites into space and have completed some preliminary data collection.
Next, we can start launching military satellites.
The most important of these is the Red Alert base’s exclusive unit - the spy satellite!
A spy satellite does not refer to a single satellite, but a series of military reconnaissance satellites.
It is expected that a complete space satellite intelligence network will be built in space within five years.
By that time, the Renaissance Army will have installed an eye on the heads of countries around the world, and will have a huge advantage in intelligence information.
Many times, the advantage in intelligence information can determine the outcome of a war.
After receiving the telegram from the East, Tempelhof Airport immediately reported the news.
25 hours countdown!
Tempelhof Airport even started a countdown.
After seeing the specific time, many people who came for this super transport plane finally felt relieved.
Tempelhof Airport operators sold a total of 8 tickets this time.
Because of this incident, the Germania Hotel was completely full and the subway to the airport was running non-stop.
Not to mention the traffic in the vicinity, which was completely paralyzed.
This also indirectly boosted consumption in the Germania city area.
With 10 hours left in the countdown, tens of thousands of people were already crowded in the terminal of Tempelhof Airport.
The cold weather made them all huddle in the terminal.
The crowd is still growing.
With three hours left in the countdown, the sky was beginning to brighten and the crowd was growing denser.
Hans also dispatched two infantry regiments and thousands of police officers and firefighters to maintain order and provide meals and other services to these people.
As the Prime Minister, Hilt was also waiting at the airport with a group of senior officials of the Hans Empire.
