Junzi now doesn't know that the staff of the Kwantung Army are planning to deal with him, and even if he knows, he probably won't care. (") The Kwantung Army has done all the assassination, and it's not new to deal with him.

Now he is reading a telegram sent to him by Colt from the United States, which told Junzi that the United States is now developing a new single-wing fighter.

According to Colt, Boeing proposed a design plan for a single-wing fighter in response to the request of the US Army Air Force. The design plan of the aircraft has passed the approval of the US Army Air Force. The two sides are expected to sign a contract to order three prototypes around December.

If the contract is settled, the monoplane fighter will start construction in January next year and will begin its first test flight after completion.

After reading Colt's telegram, Junzi took a deep breath. He knew that the fighter that Colt mentioned was a record of shooting down bombers and Zero ship fighters P-26 fighter!

This P-26 fighter was the first single-wing fighter used by the US Army Air Force and the last fighter produced by Boeing. Perhaps the application of the aircraft by Junzi and the Soviet army in the Harbin battle attracted the attention of Americans, so this fighter, which should have been designed in 1931, was actually ahead of schedule!

If the US construction speed is at the speed of construction, the fighter will be mass-produced and assembled into the army after it is completed in March next year. However, the economic situation in the United States is not good now, so Colt called himself a Manchu rich man who hopes to purchase this fighter.

According to the design of this fighter, its engine adopts the Pratt & Whitney r-1340-27 air-cooled engine. The remaining configurations are roughly as follows:

Maximum takeoff weight: 1366 kg

Range: 579 km

Maximum airspeed: 377 km/h

Practical ceiling: 8350 meters

Climbing rate: 719 meters/min

Armed: Two 0.30-inch machine guns

You can carry 2 45 kg or 5 13.6 kg bombs under the fuselage and wings. "

This is already the extremely cutting-edge air force of this era. Compared with the Type 91 fighter aircraft equipped by the main Japanese army, this fighter obviously had the upper hand. You should know that in the later 1932 Shanghai Incident, American pilot Xiao Te was flying a Boeing P-12 to attack the Type 3 ship fighter aircraft piloted by Soshima Hachiro on February 19. Xiao Te injured it and then sang it away.

On February 22, Xiaote encountered three Japanese Type 3 ship fighters and three Type 3 attack aircraft. Xiaote's p-12 easily avoided the attack of the Japanese Type 3 ship battle and killed and injured the rear machine gunner. Although Xiaote's p-12 was still outnumbered and was shot down by the Japanese Type 3 ship battle, it has proved that the p-12 was better than the Japanese existing Type 3 ship battle.

The old-fashioned p-12 is the case, not to mention the new-fashioned p-26. The Nine-One was equipped in 1930!

At this time, the Japanese army's main air force was the Nakajima Nine-One fighter. The engine used by this fighter was: Nakajima 7 air-cooled piston engine with 520 horsepower. Its performance is roughly as follows:

Maximum speed: 300km/h, range: 700km, practical ceiling: 9,000m

Climbing rate: 555 meters/min

Weapon: 7.7mm machine gun x2

The relatively advanced biplane Nine-5 fighter jet has not yet been developed. Kawasaki, the Holy Temple aircraft, was delivered to Japan Airlines in December 1935. Although it is considered an excellent design among biplane, the output is not much. The main force's Type Nine-5 type only produces 300 aircraft.

Even for the Type 91, the Kwantung Army is not able to be equipped with many! The most equipped ones are the Type 88 light critical strike aircraft and light bombers. This type of fighter is not much different from the parameters equipped by the current Northeast Army.

Therefore, the newly developed fighter jets in the United States are indeed much better than the fighter jets equipped by the current Northeast Army. If a batch of such fighters are equipped, the Northeast Army will have the advantage in aerial combat!

Junzi thought about it and continued to write his report. He planned to ask Zhang Xueliang to purchase at least fifty p-26s. Anyway, Xiao Zhang has blackmailed a lot from Nanjing. Instead of putting this money in the warehouse and the bank, it is better to buy arms directly.

Junzi also wanted to directly purchase the design drawings of P-26 and obtain a patent authorization to produce them. However, Junzi's main idea for design drawings was not just production, but to learn engine technology and fighter manufacturing technology!

Although Fengtian Arsenal can now independently manufacture fighter jets, the manufacturing cost of the engine is still too high. Junzi thought that if the cost can be reduced and the Fengtian Arsenal can be self-sufficient in fighter jets, the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army will undoubtedly take a step forward!

In his report, Junzi first explained the importance of the air force to modern warfare, especially focusing on the Italian air supremacy theorist Julio Duhe published the "Absolute Control of Air" in 1921. This book became a pioneer in the modern air supremacy military concept.

In the book, Du Hei emphasized the power of bombers, which has been proven in the battles between the Fengtian and other troops. Almost most of the domestic warlords' troops will collapse in the Fengtian bombing. Even if they do not collapse, their morale will be severely hit.

Even the Fengtian itself is the case. The reason why it was defeated so quickly on the Middle East Road was not unrelated to the Soviet army's use of bombing methods. Compared to the way others can fight you, but you can only watch it, it is extremely boring.

Therefore, it is extremely important to strengthen air power, especially to use fighter jets to curb the other side's bombing. Air power has become one of the indispensable forces in war!

That night, Junzi hurried to Zhang Xueliang's study and handed the report solemnly to Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Xueliang took the report in surprise, and after reading it carefully, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

At this time, Yu Fengzhi opened the door of the study and brought two cups of ginseng tea to Junzi and Zhang Xueliang. Junzi quickly stood up to thank him, and Yu Fengzhi smiled and retreated.

Then Zhang Xueliang put down the report, picked up the ginseng tea and took a sip of it gently and said to Junzi in a deep voice: "Junzi... Your report made me suddenly realize! I was still thinking about how to strengthen our air power. Compared with the air power shown by the Soviets this time, I was really shocked!"

Junzi couldn't help but smile when he heard Zhang Xueliang's words. In fact, Zhang Xueliang began to purchase aircraft in large quantities after the Central East Road. The Soviet bombing caused the defeat of the Northeast Army and even the losses of the entire Northeast Navy really shocked Zhang Xueliang too much!

Unfortunately, the situation was that the Northeast Army was defeated on the Middle East Road, so no country was willing to give him good aircraft. Zhang Xueliang only took over some of the old-fashioned fighters with biplanes, but with his efforts, the number of aircraft of the Northeast Army before the 918th 18th was nearly 300!

It became a force that made the Kwantung Army extremely afraid, so the first thing that the Kwantung Army did later was to destroy the airport of the Northeast Army!

"Sixth brother, this time the Americans came here without a doubt that they wanted us to be their allies. After all, we have proved our strength in this war on the Middle East Road. I believe they will not refuse us to be their allies to resist the Red Invasion."

Then Junzi smiled at Zhang Xueliang and said, "This is also an excellent opportunity for us. We can buy that design drawing from the Americans, so that the designers of Fengtian Arsenal can learn the American design ideas and improve our engine manufacturing level. I believe that our manufacturing level will improve a lot! After all, we have a foundation."

Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but nodded when he heard Junzi's words. If he could obtain the design drawing of this new aircraft, the strength of the Northeast Army would naturally reach a higher level! The design ideas of the Americans, engine mechanisms, etc. in the design drawings are priceless treasures!

Once these mature experiences are absorbed by Fengtian Arsenal, the design and manufacturing capabilities of Fengtian Arsenal will naturally be improved! This is particularly important, even more important than the fighter itself.

"As long as we purchase enough, I believe that Americans are willing to sell this design drawing." Junzi smiled and said to Zhang Xueliang: "Now Americans are in an economic crisis! They need orders for planes more than anyone else, and I believe they will be moved by the orders for fifty planes..."

Junzi said this because he knew that the US military purchased only more than 110 aircraft. The P-26 sold by Boeing was only given to the Philippines and the Nanjing government.

There are only a total of less than 200 aircraft, so the Northeast Army will naturally be tempted to order 50 aircraft in one go! Large companies like Boeing will naturally have their own spokespersons in the US government, and it is unlikely that there will be too many obstacles to making some noises.

And at this time, even the Soviet Union was able to purchase active American weapons, let alone the Northeast Army called me?!

Zhang Xueliang thought for a while and asked Chen Dazhang to find Yuan Jinkai, Zhang Zuoxiang, Yan Zhengqing and others to discuss the matter carefully in the tiger hall.

When Zhang Xueliang and his friends were discussing this matter, a white man wearing a solemn suit and square face on a passenger ship from the United States to Huludao, Manchuria, China was talking to an old Chinese man with a solemn beard and a long gown.

It was seen that the two of them were chatting and laughing on the chair on the side of the boat, and the sea breeze slowly blew their suits and gowns. Behind them were dozens of vigilant men parading around, watching the movements around them alertly.

Then he saw the white man saying to the old man in inexperienced Chinese: "Oh~ Situ! You said that Junzi was coming to represent the United States when he saw it. Will he be surprised?! I think he must be frightened by then?! Haha..."
