Chapter 248

Jiang Li said that a good fighter is inseparable from excellent engines. Jiang Li had some ideas about the engine of the Ca.30, but just now he proposed it, Fiat rejected it directly. Obviously, Fiat only wants to sell fighter jets, rather than transferring such things that Italy also regards as a defense industry to other countries.

"The engines produced by the British Rawls-Royce Company are very famous in the aviation industry. Although the engine manufacturing in the United States cannot catch up with the Western powers for a while, the commander needs to make preparations. It would be best if he can get in touch with the Rolls-Royce. In addition, the arsenal will start trial production of aviation machine guns, including the 79 machine gun, 12.7mm machine gun, and 20mm machine gun, to solve the problem of future aircraft weapons output."

"In addition, we need to launch research on aircraft bombs at the same time, and the power of aircraft bombs is also large and small. The research and development of airborne radio stations, in addition to oil, lubricating oil required for some key parts of aircraft is also the top priority."

"It seems that the arsenal has to do a lot of work. Now, the arsenal has been rebuilt. I will make people improve these links as soon as possible. The lubricant problem is already obvious. This thing is indispensable for the production of automobiles and tractors." Jiang Li also felt a little overwhelmed, but some problems are similar. As long as the production of automobiles and tractors is solved, the production and manufacturing problems of aircraft will be smoother. Aircraft in this era is not as carefully built as fighter jets in later generations. "The more you do, the bigger the gap is."

"The gap has finally been narrower. In the past, we could only do some simple repairs, but now we are not too far from self-production. Under the commander's leadership, I believe that it will be possible within three or four years." Gao Zhihang smiled. Compared to the past when he was in the Northeast Army, although the Northeast Air Force was richer than the warlords in the pass, the number of aircraft equipment was not as good as that in Nanjing. After the outbreak of the 9/18 Incident, the Northeast Air Force split. Gao Zhihang, as a side force, has now become the chief of staff of the Northwest Air Force, but he can truly feel the rapid progress in the aviation industry at this time. It is not just about the purchase quantity of aircraft, but about Jiang Li's efforts in aircraft production. As a person, he is like swallowing a three-foot sword. Relying on people is like the nine heavens above. As a Chinese, Gao Zhihang can deeply understand the difficulty of developing aircraft production technology in China.

"I can't wait for three or four years. At most, I will have the first fighter jet, and the bombers will be taken off the line from Lanzhou." Jiang Li smiled and looked at Zhu Jiaren again, "I am just a layman in the specific manufacturing details of the aircraft, but I have some information provided by Wang Zhu, and the needs of future wars. I also have a few opinions. You can read it and adopt it if you want to use it. Don't take it to heart if you don't."

"Commander, please speak, listen with politeness." Zhu Jiaren said hurriedly.

"Fighters and bombers are both needed in the northwest. From the perspective of fighter jets, future fighters will definitely pursue higher speeds, stronger climbing power, and excellent turning performance. The open cockpit allows pilots to endure wind and low temperatures to the limit, and it is difficult to adapt to higher speeds. Therefore, future fighters will inevitably develop towards closed cockpits. The speed of biplane has been developed to a very high speed. Even if there is room for further improvement, the excavation will not be too strong. Therefore, future biplane will definitely be replaced by high-speed monoplane. In addition, in the production and manufacturing of aircraft, we must avoid overly complex designs, promote the industrialization of aircraft manufacturing, streamline its manufacturing process, make its production easier, and allow the Air Force to quickly equip a large number of aircraft."

"As for bombers, it is mainly reflected in lightweight and fast tactical bombers and heavy bombers with long range and loads of bombs. The United States has developed well in the field of bombers. Now the mainstream twin-engine bombers have bomb loads and ranges to a certain extent, so you have to start the research and development of four-engine heavy bombers."

Zhu Jiaren wrote down Jiang Li's words one by one with a serious expression. Although he didn't know why Jiang Li's tone was so affirmed, as a time traveler, Jiang Li probably no one can surpass Jiang Li for the future development of war trends. Therefore, these suggestions are undoubtedly very constructive about the development direction of fighter jets and bombers.

"The information provided by the commander is very useful. After returning to the United States, he will definitely explain the commander's views to Zeng Yijing and Wang Xiaofeng."

"Well, you are professional after all, and it depends on you. Biplane is the main force of combat at present. No matter what, you still have to build a biplane to deal with the war in the next few years. The research and development of monoplane must also be carried out at the same time."

Jiang Li nodded. In addition, Jiang Li also wanted to do it early for the development of jet aircraft, but now he can't find anyone in the country who has made achievements in jet power. He can only go abroad to find talents in this field, but he can't make a big fuss. For the time being, he can only secretly have a distinctive character. Some things cannot be impatient.

Although Gao Zhihang was also surprised by Jiang Li's understanding of fighter jets and bombers, he was more happy. Jiang Li attached unprecedented importance to the Air Force. Nanjing and the young marshals in the past were probably not as good as Jiang Li in front of him. In addition, the order for 35 ca.30s this time. At this time, the generals of the staff of ordinary people have 52 fighter jets and 26 bombers that can be put into the front line. Most of them are new aircraft, and there are 34 trainers, which are no less than the heyday of the Northeast Air Force.

Gao Zhihang was one of the few people who knew Jiang Litongpan's aviation plan, so he became increasingly interested in the day when the aircraft manufacturer behind took root in Lanzhou. A fighter and bomber production line that could be synchronized with the world. It was of epoch-making significance for the entire Republic of China.

"Chief Gao needs to strengthen pilot training. Our number of pilots is not too large, and it is still enough for the time being. But Professor Zhu won't launch the prototype aircraft in the United States for too long, and it is just around the corner to equip the 15th Army. We can't wait until the equipment arrives, and there are not enough pilots to drive." Jiang Li smiled and looked at Gao Zhi Channel.

"Commander, please rest assured. Before the new plane arrives, Beizhi will definitely train the pilots. He can only wait for the plane, and cannot let the plane wait for people." Gao Zhihang promised.
