In late July, some key intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Agency made Mu Haoyang realize that the anti-gravity field technology developed by Lu Wen would be the final victory of China in this war, or to be precise, the key factor in achieving the final victory of this war at the lowest cost.

At that time, the first piece of intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Agency was related to the sixth-generation fighter jets in the United States.

The yf-51 has already tested in early July, and its performance exceeded the design indicators. Marshall asked for mass production immediately after the first test flight, and asked Lockheed Mart, which was responsible for the development, to deliver the first batch of simulated flight training equipment to the US Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps aviation within one month, so that the army can train pilots in advance, or to familiarize pilots with the control system of new fighter jets.[..com]

According to the intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the test flight of the YF-51 will definitely continue until the end of the year.

However, mass production is likely to start in August. The first one is to produce prototype aircraft, which is mainly provided to the flight training units of the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps aviation, allowing pilots to conduct actual flight training after completing initial training on simulated flight training equipment.

Immediately afterwards, the initial mass production model will definitely be put into production in October.

Compared with the prototype aircraft, the initial mass production model has not been very much improved. It is mainly to improve the weapon system of the fighter and have limited combat capabilities. Because the design indicators of the yf-51 are to surpass the J-33 series of combat, that is, to be developed according to the air superiority fighter, its original purpose must be air control and air defense, and will become the most advanced air superiority fighter in the US military.

By the end of the year, low-speed mass-produced models will be put into production.

Compared with the initial mass-produced model, the main change of the low-speed mass-produced model lies in the improvement of the design and solving the problems found in test flights. There will be no big difference between the formal mass-produced model in terms of basic structure, or even no difference. The difference is just the weapon system, that is, the low-speed mass-produced model still does not have all combat capabilities, and is an air superiority fighter that mainly controls air and has limited ability to strike against the ground and sea.

Of course, in name, it is a low-speed mass production, and the actual production speed is definitely not slow.

According to the Military Intelligence Bureau's estimates, if several American aircraft manufacturers including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Motors and other US aircraft manufacturers join the production work, the production of the F-51 will exceed 2,000 in 2055, of which at least 1,500 are low-speed mass-produced models with relatively stable combat capabilities.

By early 2056, the formal mass production model will be put into production.

The formal mass-produced model should be the first mature model of yf-51, and is likely to be given the number of f-51a. According to the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps aviation, it is divided into three models: f-51aa, f-51ab and f-51ac. Because yf-51 originally has the ability to take off and vertical landing at short distances, the difference between the three models will not be too big, and it is mainly reflected in the mission function system, that is, it is suitable for performing different combat tasks.

By 2056, the monthly output of the f-51a will definitely exceed 2,000 aircraft, and perhaps reach 3,000 aircraft.

That is to say, it only takes one year at most that the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps Air Force can replace all active fighters with the F-51a.

Of course, this is not the end.

The Military Intelligence Agency has obtained reliable intelligence. When the YF-51 was in the test flight, Lockheed Martin joined forces with Boeing and General Motors to improve the YF-51, mainly enhancing the multi-mission capabilities of fighter jets, so that it can replace all tactical fighters and half of the bombers in the US military.

It can be said that the yf-51 is definitely an epoch-making fighter. At least in the field of traditional fighter jets, the yf-51 has reached a height that is difficult to surpass. Even the J-40 series fighter jets being developed by China can only be equal to it at most, and there is no question of surpassing it.

You should know that this is the first aerospace fighter with practical application capabilities.

Of course, the YF-51 has many firsts, such as the first aerospace fighter that can take off and land regularly, the first hybrid aerospace fighter, the first intercontinental fighter, and so on.

Compared with the fifth-generation fighter jets, the most prominent feature of the YF-51 is that it has almost unlimited strike radius, or global strike capabilities in the suborbital combat mode, that is, its suborbital combat radius reaches 15,000 kilometers, and can take off from the United States and strike any location on the earth.

Fortunately, the original F-51's suborbital combat capability is not perfect.

In fact, knowing that the war was over, the United States did not create a true F-51. It produced all simplified F-51s during the war, and did not require complete suborbital combat capabilities. The main combat scope was still within the atmosphere, and the main combat purpose was still at the tactical level.

It can be said that China's J-40 has not been successfully developed, which is related to the high requirements of the Air Force, that is, the J-40 must be a global fighter with complete suborbital combat capabilities. If it only has intra-atmosphere combat capabilities, the Air Force would rather purchase more J-31 series fighter jets.

You should know that the price of j-31 is much cheaper than that of j-40.

Even so, f-51 still has much more advanced than j-31, even the ultimate improved model of j-31. This is a generation difference, not a gap between models.

If the F-51 is in service in large quantities, it will definitely be a catastrophic consequence.

You should know that at that time, if the Chinese Air Force wants to seize air supremacy, it will have to use fighter jets several times that of the US military and bear greater combat losses.

Fortunately, the production of f-51 is not large.

In addition to the extremely expensive construction cost or extremely low production efficiency, it is also related to China's subsequent strategic bombing on the US mainland. By the time the US aircraft manufacturer improved the production efficiency of the F-51, China's strategic bombing had greatly weakened the US's war potential, making the United States unable to produce enough F-51s, and even unable to provide sufficient special aviation fuel for such high-performance fighter jets.

However, in 2055, the yf-51 went to heaven was definitely a huge threat to the Chinese army.

At that time, the importance of another piece of intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Agency was no less than that of the YF-51 test flight, which was the United States also developed suborbital bombers at the same time.

In fact, the intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Agency is not accurate.

When the project was established, there were indeed two military aircraft plans for f-x and b-x. The former was yf-51, but the latter was eventually cancelled during the project planning stage, or merged into the f-x project. The planned product should be a fighter bomber numbered fb-51.

Of course, it is not accurate to say that fighter bombers are not accurate. The fb-51 is not a simple enlarged version of the f-51, but a brand new combat platform. The same one as the f-51 is only power equipment, namely the ramjet integrated engine, and there is almost nothing in common in other aspects.

However, the development of fb-51 is very unsuccessful, much slower than f-51.

Although at the end of the war, the United States had many incredible weapons and equipment projects, including a suborbital bomber project that could fly at Mach 40 and had a bomb load of up to 100 tons, the only one that was truly developed was the FB-51, and the project was eventually replaced by the full performance version of the F-51, namely the F-51e. Most importantly, at the end of the war, the US Air Force failed to obtain the F-51e, and the only three prototypes were destroyed before the end of the war, leaving only a large number of incomplete design drawings.

That is to say, until the end of the war, the United States did not have suborbital bombers that could carry out strategic bombing missions.

The problem is that in 2055, Mu Haoyang could not doubt this information. First of all, the YF-51 was already on the sky, and its original design was a suborbital fighter, so there is enough reason to believe that as long as the United States develops an engine, it can build a suborbital bomber. Secondly, the Chinese Air Force also has similar arms projects, and the progress is not slow, and they all plan to achieve their first flight in 2056 or 2057. Finally, in a comprehensive confrontation, the basic way to deal with this type of strategic intelligence is to be trusted rather than trustless.

The most critical piece of information is related to anti-gravity field technology.

The source of this intelligence is very reliable. It is a senior intelligence officer who ambushed in the US defense and has the opportunity to access the latest technical information of the US military. Before this, he had provided more than a dozen extremely useful intelligence to the Military Intelligence Agency, such as the exact time when the US was equipped with the ground warfare system and the detailed performance indicators of the ground warfare system. In the end, he proved that the intelligence provided by the intelligence officer was accurate.

The result is that Li Mingyang is undoubtedly convinced of this information.

It was not until after the war that Li Mingyang learned that the intelligence officer had been exposed and was rebelled by the US intelligence agency, becoming the most famous double-faced spy in the war. When providing valuable intelligence to China, the intelligence officer also provided false information, and the most critical false information was the US military's anti-gravity field technology.

At that time, the US military's anti-gravity field technical intelligence was actually provided by US intelligence agencies. The purpose was to test China's reaction and infer that China had made breakthrough progress in the anti-gravity field field. The US intelligence agencies did this mainly because they had no way to find relevant information from other channels. The US scientific research department has proved that anti-gravity field technology must have a way to achieve it and has extremely valuable military application value. The most important thing is that China was the first to conduct relevant research and invested a lot.

There is no doubt that the breakthrough made by the United States in the field of anti-gravity fields is enough to make Mu Haoyang do the most crazy move.

Coupled with the impact of the first two pieces of intelligence, Mu Haoyang believed that only a new combat platform based on anti-gravity field technology could fully surpass the new fighter jets of the US military and allow the Chinese Air Force to regain its technological advantages. It is not difficult to understand what Mu Haoyang would do.

At the end of July, Mu Haoyang established an institution called "Lishan Office" in the Ministry of War, which was responsible for managing work related to anti-gravity field technology and was directly responsible to him. Later, the office evolved into the "Lishan Project", and its core work was to apply anti-gravity field technology to the military field and solve the problems encountered in industrial production, becoming the most mysterious department in the Ministry of War.

Finally, some people seem to think that the word "Lishan" is not very nice.
