Chapter 388: The Development Time of the Japanese Army's New Weapons and Equipment (Chapter 2 is her
"Is the Mitsubishi A5M Type 96 carrier-based fighter jet that we just developed not really able to compete with these mysterious aircraft?"
Prince Hanyuan Palace Zairen suddenly interrupted.
"Yes!"
"Your Highness! Otherwise we wouldn't have killed so many pilots and lost so many planes!"
Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro nodded slightly and replied with certainty.
"What about the Nakajima Type 97 fighter jet? Can it compete?"
Prince Hanyuan Palace Zairen continued to ask.
And he glanced towards Nakajima Company’s chairman Chikuhei Nakajima,
Because the current Ki-87 fighter, Shiden fighter, Japanese Type 4 Hayate fighter, and Zero Fighter fighter have not yet been developed, the most powerful Japanese aircraft are the Mitsubishi A5M Type 96 carrier-based fighter and the Nakajima Type 97 fighter
Already.
"It's impossible! Your Highness!"
Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro was also embarrassed and continued to reply truthfully.
"Hey! What should we do now?"
"The latest carrier-based aircraft and fighter jets we are currently in service are no match for these new fighter jets of unknown origin. So how can we develop newer fighter jets to deal with the incoming attacks of these mysterious aircraft that may suddenly appear at any time?
?”
Hearing this, Prince Kanin Gongzaihito immediately felt bad. He glanced at Nakajima Company Chairman Chikuhei Nakajima and the chairman of other Japanese weapons and equipment development companies again, and asked indifferently.
.
"We are working with Nakajima Aircraft Co., Ltd. to develop a new type of aircraft called the Zero Carrier-Based Fighter, but it is only in the conceptual stage now!"
"This aircraft can receive telegraphs within 300 nautical miles, make radio calls within 30 nautical miles, and can fly at a maximum altitude of 5,000 meters. When using auxiliary fuel tanks, the flight time can be more than 6 hours. It carries two 20mm cannons and two 7.7mm machine guns.
..."
After being asked this question by Prince Kanin Miyazahito, Chairman of the Mitsubishi Foundation Iwasaki Hisaya immediately responded first.
"Then when will the new carrier-based aircraft of this model you mentioned be developed and put into use on the battlefield?"
Prince Kanin Miya Zaihito, however, focused on the key points, staring intently at Hisaya Iwasaki, the chairman of the Mitsubishi Foundation, and asked.
"Your Highness!"
"I'm afraid it will take more than a year to two years!"
"Because it is a new carrier-based aircraft that we just started to conceive, so..."
When Prince Kanin Miya Zaihito asked this question, Iwasaki Hisaya, the chairman of the Mitsubishi Foundation, blushed for a moment and responded in embarrassment.
"Baga!"
"It will take more than a year, to two years?"
"What do you all do for a living?"
"It will take such a long time to complete the development of new aircraft. Then by the time you are able to develop and produce them, I am afraid that all our pilots will be killed by these new enemy aircraft!"
"At that time, you just had planes and no pilots!"
As soon as he heard that it would take such a long time, Prince Hanyuan Palace Zairen immediately said angrily.
"Yes! Let's see if we can speed up the development of new fighter jets! We absolutely cannot lag behind each other's new aircraft for too long, otherwise our pilots will be in danger!"
"And it will also affect the safety of our overall aviation force and the risk of combat!"
Prince Fushimi Gongbo Gong, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but interject.
"Yes! Your Highnesses are so right!"
"Then I will give you three months to develop the latest fighter jets and carrier-based aircraft!"
"Otherwise, everyone will be punished!"
"And I can agree with so many of your companies working together to develop them. At the same time, I also hope that you can improve the weapons and equipment of our army, including the current 38-meter cover. I also want to eliminate them.
Lose!"
"Because the new weapons and equipment used by Liu Feiyang's troops are more numerous and more powerful than ours!"
"So in order to catch up with Liu Feiyang's new weapons and equipment, including aircraft, tanks and other weapons and equipment, you can purchase the latest weapons and equipment from the major powers for development!"
"No matter how much money you need, I will find a way to give it to you!"
"So you must provide our imperial army with the most powerful weapons and equipment for the battle, so that we can fight to kill the enemy and expand our territory!"
"Please, everyone!"
After the two Japanese princes spoke up and held accountable, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro also quickly issued an order to all financial groups to develop new weapons and equipment as soon as possible.
"But three months is not enough for us!"
But after listening to the order, all the directors of the Japanese military consortium looked at each other. Then, the chairman of the Mitsubishi Consortium, Hisaya Iwasaki, was the first to object.
“It’s okay even if it doesn’t work!”
"Because the imperial army of our empire is currently being killed by the enemy's new weapons and equipment!"
"So I don't care what you do. Within three months, you must give me the latest fighter jets, rifles, and new tanks!"
Regarding the rebuttal of Hisaya Iwasaki, the chairman of the Mitsubishi Foundation, Fushimi Miyahiro Kyōo snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Prince Fushimi Miyahiro Kyou is right, you must complete the mission, otherwise the casualties of our imperial army will continue to increase!"
"So for the safety of us imperial warriors who may be killed by the enemy at any time using new weapons and equipment, you must work hard to speed up the process of developing new weapons and equipment!"
"Otherwise we might be defeated!"
Prince Hanyuan Palace Zairen was also merciless and interjected with a gloomy face.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
...
...
When they saw that Prince Fushimi Miyahiro Kyou, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro, and Prince Kanin Miyazaihito were so ruthless in issuing death orders to develop new weapons and equipment in a short period of time, all the directors of the Japanese military foundation
They all looked at each other again, then reluctantly nodded in agreement.
As for Nagano Shushen, who had been watching with cold eyes, and Admiral Mitsumasa Yonai, they continued to remain silent and just watched the show.
Anyway, it would be nice to have new weapons and equipment available for them to fight.
As for other things, the two of them felt that it was best to talk less in front of so many important people.
After watching the directors of the Japanese military consortium obediently obey their orders,
No matter it was Prince Fushimi Miyahiro Kyou, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro, or Prince Kanin Miyazaihito, they were all very satisfied and nodded lightly in response.
Then, they talked more about how to cooperate with those powerful countries in the joint development, procurement and other issues of new weapons and equipment.
Regarding this, the directors of the Japanese military consortium felt a little better.
Because if we can have in-depth cooperation with the large weapons and equipment development companies of those powerful countries, then we can give them the opportunity to complete the task of developing new weapons and equipment within three months.
So they saw a little hope of how to complete the development of new weapons and equipment.
