Chapter 196 Jet Fighter Fame Worldwide, Meeting with Prime Minister Hans
In this naval battle, what attracted the most attention from the Western military, military experts and military scholars were undoubtedly the four jet fighters with different appearances but all very sci-fi and futuristic feel.
The four models mentioned here are equipped with the AS-1 Comet anti-ship missile.
They also mistook the anti-ship missile for a jet fighter.
This is actually a good thing for the Renaissance Army, at least it will not expose the existence of anti-ship missiles.
John Empire, the Air Force gathered together a group of top aviation technology experts and scholars in the country.
During this meeting, the military provided them with more detailed intelligence and a larger number of photos.
This also caused a sensation among aviation technology experts and military scholars.
After a long time, the noisy meeting room gradually quieted down.
The meeting was chaired by John Ellis Alves, Chief of the Royal Air Force Staff.
He looked around, raised a stack of photos in his hand, and said to everyone in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, you have seen the photos and intelligence.
The four new fighter jets that appeared this time by the Renaissance Army have one thing in common, that is, they no longer have propellers and use a new type of engine.
This new engine made them so fast that they could not be stopped by anti-aircraft guns.
So what I want to know now is what this new engine is? Can we develop this new engine and a new fighter jet? "
After hearing what Chief of Staff Alvis said, all the experts and scholars fell silent.
Some people are thinking, some people have confusion in their eyes...
After a long while, just when Alvis was feeling a little disappointed, a voice broke the silence in the meeting room.
A thin middle-aged white man with graying hair stood up.
Chief of Staff Alvis knew him.
This person was Sir Frank Whittle, a nobleman who had volunteered to attend the meeting, and he did not refuse.
Because this knight is an expert in the field of aviation engines, although he is not well-known.
"Sir, I think I should be familiar with this new type of engine."
As Sir Whittle finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to him.
This also put Sir Whittle under great pressure.
"Oh? I hope your answer won't disappoint me."
"Of course!"
Sir Whittle took a deep breath. While feeling the pressure, he also had a premonition that his company was about to be revived.
“When I first graduated and studied at the Royal Air Force Academy, I found that the piston engine used to drive the propeller could not meet the requirements of high-altitude and high-speed flight of aircraft.
So I proposed some working principles of turbojet engines in my graduation thesis.
It can first inhale air, and then compress it through a centrifugal compressor... At the same time, the air flow is ejected at high speed through the tail nozzle, thereby generating power that can propel the aircraft.
Everyone can see some common features of these fighter jets.
There is a hole in the nose of the aircraft, and this hole is the air intake of the jet aircraft.
The air enters the engine from here, and through the above principles, the fighter can obtain unimaginable power.
So I can be sure that the engines used by these fighters are jet engines." (This person really exists and has been seeking cooperation everywhere since 29 years.)
As Sir Whittle finished speaking, silence fell in the conference room, and everyone was trying to understand his words.
Some people even started writing and drawing on paper, trying to figure out the principles of this new engine.
"So does anyone else have a different opinion?"
Chief of Staff Alvis was confused and basically agreed with Sir Whittle's words.
Because he did not make empty promises, but directly explained the principles of this new type of engine, and these principles seemed to be completely consistent with this new type of engine.
"I did some simple deductions based on the principles of jazz, and I think it's completely feasible.
I basically agree with the Sir's inference.
This type of engine is the true future of aviation, and our company is willing to cooperate with Jazz to jointly develop this new engine."
The person who spoke was the chief engineer of Hawke Company.
Hawke was also the largest aircraft manufacturer in John's empire.
For example, the later Hurricane and Fury were manufactured by Hawke.
Obviously, the chief engineer was very keen to sense the business opportunity.
The jet fighters of the Renaissance Army Air Force demonstrated performance far superior to that of propeller aircraft.
Obviously, this new type of aircraft is the trend of the future.
Sir Whittle has the technology, and they have the capital and manufacturing capabilities, so this is a win-win cooperation.
It was also at this conference that the concept of jet fighters began to become known and even spread to other countries.
After the meeting, Sir Whittle also received a £1 million investment from John's Royal Air Force Ministry.
It also formed a joint venture with Hawke Company to form Power International Company and began to develop jet engines. The project model was also named Whittle W1 jet engine.
Jiang Hua was not surprised that jet fighters became a new research direction for air forces of various countries.
When he decides to put jet fighters into service on a large scale, he will certainly not be able to hide it.
Besides, even though they know it, they still have a long way to go if they want to build a practical jet engine.
After all, you haven't even figured out how to use a piston engine yet, and you want to play with a jet engine?
This is a typical case of wanting to run as soon as you learn to walk.
The material issue alone would take them ten to eight years to deal with.
By that time, the ancient countries had already established a relatively complete industrial system.
So Jiang Hua is not worried that the West will catch up in this regard.
In the next decade, the West may have jet fighters in service, but propeller fighters will still be the mainstream.
John, Citi, Gaul and other countries have focused their attention on jet fighters.
The other country focused its attention on the submarines of the Restoration Army.
This country was none other than the Hans Empire.
The Empire's new Prime Minister, Adolf Hilt, showed great interest in the Renaissance Army's submarines.
In this naval battle, although the Renaissance Army Air Force performed very well, the submarine force also demonstrated strong combat effectiveness.
Through analysis of this naval battle, it is not difficult to know that it was the submarine force that launched the first wave of attack.
One wave of attacks caused the sinking of several destroyers, giving the Restoration Army Air Force an opportunity to easily win the naval battle.
And at this time, someone happened to come to the door.
This person is An Hongyi, general manager of Datang International Trade Group Co., Ltd.
Before the war broke out, he traveled to Hans by ship. After drifting on the sea for nearly two months, he finally arrived in Hans.
It was at this time that the Qionghai door-blocking incident broke out.
An Hongyi felt that this was a great advertising opportunity, so he did not rush to approach the customer, but chose to wait.
Sure enough, subsequent events developed in a favorable direction.
The two battles of Qionghai and Canghai completely wiped out the John and Fuso anti-submarine formations, and became famous all over the world.
It was not until the end of the Battle of the Yellow Sea that An Hongyi came to him.
Launched the first major overseas order for Datang International Trade Group Co., Ltd.
If this big deal goes through, Datang International will receive extremely generous rewards.
Prime Minister Hilt of the Hans Empire met with An Hongyi with great interest.
There is also a naval admiral in Prime Minister Hilt's office.
He was none other than Major General Daniel, the new head of the submarine command appointed by Hilt.
After a while of greetings, An Hongyi did not intend to continue with the polite conversation, but directly stated the purpose of his trip.
"Prime Minister Hilt, Major General Daniel, our Datang International Company is the only company in the Restoration Government that has the qualifications for international arms trade.
We currently have a number of submarines that have been decommissioned by the navy and have been in service for less than a year.
They have left their footprints in the Yellow Sea, Whale Sea, Canghai and even the Pacific Ocean in the east, and even two of their submarines have sunk ships with a tonnage exceeding 100,000 tons.
And no submarine was ever discovered.
Although these submarines are retired, their performance is definitely world-class."
Major General Daniel's eyes flashed, and when he was about to say something, Hilt spoke first.
"But I'm more interested in your current submarine."
An Hongyi was stunned when he heard this.
"Want a nuclear submarine? You're dreaming."
Of course, he just said this in his heart. If he said it out loud, he felt that he would be lying down.
"Uh, Prime Minister Hilt, this is impossible.
Moreover, the new submarines we are currently serving are merely upgraded versions of retired submarines, and their performance improvements are not particularly significant.”
An Hongyi just opened his mouth and spoke.
"Is it really impossible? Even if we can pay more money?"
An Hongyi shook his head without hesitation and said, "Sorry!"
Prime Minister Hilt said somewhat disappointedly, "Then let my major general wait and talk to you about those retired submarines. I need to take care of official business now."
In this way, An Hongyi was asked to leave Hilt's office.
When he saw An Hongyi go out, Prime Minister Hilt smiled and looked at Daniel.
"My dear Major General, I have already laid the groundwork for you. I hope you can buy our submarines at a cheaper price next."
Hilt certainly knew that the Restoration Army's new submarines were impossible to sell.
His action just now was just a retreat to advance, which is also one of the negotiation techniques.
Submarine Commander Daniel stood up and saluted, "Yes!"
Major General Daniel was a traditional Prussian soldier and didn't have so many twists and turns.
This is also what An Hongyi felt during the subsequent negotiations.
