    Chapter 1327 The Father of Helicopters and New Helicopters Feng Yuqing gave a detailed introduction to the senior military generals from all relevant aspects. He continued to talk until late at night. Lin Yuqiong said to Feng Guozhang: "It turns out that I always thought that  , Modern warfare is about technology, logistics, and morale. Now it seems that this intelligence is also a very critical link. " Feng Guozhang said with a smile: "Minister Lin, this is a smoke screen that the emperor has been putting up.  The propaganda has been saying that it is about technology, but in fact, the money we give Minister Feng every year is not counted at all. Now it seems that his money has not been wasted. Just this information, how much money can we buy?  "You won't come." The meeting did not continue the next day. The emperor only found a few people. The first was General Zhang Xinghua, who was in charge of equipment work. Although Zhang Xinghua was already over sixty years old, he was very concerned about the army's equipment work.  It was very detailed. With the direct participation of the emperor, he visited the production factory several times a year, and sometimes lived there for a period of time. He also visited the relevant science and technology departments even more frequently.  Then there are the Air Force Commander, General Gao Xiang, and his Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Ye Fei. General Gao Xiang is one of our earliest pilots. He came from gliders and basically participated in all air battles. He accumulated  He has a lot of air combat experience and air force management experience, but he has always regarded himself as the emperor's student. Indeed, many of his air combat experience were really taught by the emperor.  In Li Zhenhua¡¯s words, the student has already surpassed the teacher, and he has nothing to teach him.  Over the years, he and his officers and soldiers have researched various tactics and teaching materials together. Many aircraft-related problems have also been studied and solved by everyone together.  There is also General Cai E, Chief of General Staff.  The commander of the navy's aviation arm. Looking at the people attending the meeting, people knew that today's topic was mainly about the air force.  First, Air Force Commander General Gao Xiang spoke. He said: Taking aircraft as an example, our Air Force has various aircraft specifically designed to deal with the German Air Force. The Germans have been using their Junkers Ju-88 bombers, Ju-87  Stuka dive bomber, Ju-188 twin-engine bomber.  Henschel's He-111 bombers, He-177 four-engine heavy bombers, Dornier's Do-23 bombers, and Messerschmitt's Me-109 and Me-110 fighters escorted them.  These two fighter jets are the two most mature types of fighter jets in the German army. In the battles against the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, they have been suppressing each other's aircraft. Therefore.  Germany has been producing these two types of aircraft in large quantities, and no new aircraft have emerged. They believe that with these two types of aircraft, they can be invincible in the world.  But what they don¡¯t know is that we already have more advanced aircraft. The Germans don¡¯t have anything good about heavy bombers at all, but we now have four-engine long-range strategic bombers.  And the flight distance is longer, such as bombing the oil fields in Romania, then there is no need to transfer from other places, just take off directly from our area, but the escort aircraft do not have the same capabilities as them.  The difference is more than a thousand kilometers.  However, due to the emergence of new aircraft, in order to cooperate with long-range strategic bombers for long-range operations.  The emperor also guided those scientific and technical personnel to find ways to solve the problem of aerial refueling from the air. It is easy to say that as soon as the topic came out, there were many plans. First of all, someone proposed the tanker.  Flying above, with fighter jets below, refueling from a metal pipe was quickly rejected.  Later, people thought of using rubber and plastic materials. The tanker flew in front. After it merged with the fighter jet, it put down a long oil pipeline. The fighter jet behind flew forward to dock the oil pipe. The docking was easy to say, but not so easy to do.  What's going on, how to align them, some people have proposed using radio signals to control the docking, while others have proposed using magnetic materials to automatically attract them together.  The emperor also put forward his own suggestion, that is, there is a bell mouth in the back of the tanker in front, and a needle-shaped pipe in front of the fighter jet in the back. After automatically connecting using magnetic force, the pilots on the two planes will control it, open the oil pipe, and start the refueling operation.  , people agreed upon hearing it, and after a period of experiments, it finally succeeded, and the escort problem of long-range bombers was finally solved.  Those tactical bombers have also made great progress. First of all, their speed is already as fast as the German fighter jets, and their own firepower is also more powerful. If they encounter a German fighter jet, it is not sure who will deal with whom.  Woolen cloth.  Fighters have already warmed up on the battlefield. The new jets are more than 200 kilometers faster than the German fighter jets. If they encounter them, they will only get beaten.??.  In order to specifically deal with enemy armored forces, our current helicopters have also appeared. You must know that the speed of aircraft is getting faster and faster, so it is relatively more difficult to hit targets on the ground.  A few years ago, some people made this request to the Aviation Academy in order to use aircraft to deal with enemy armored forces. For a while, people had no idea where to start.  After Li Zhenhua learned about this, he immediately asked someone to take their request into his hands. After he looked at it carefully, he immediately thought of the father of helicopters in later generations, Igor Sikorsky.  But he has now changed his name to Li Ke.  The emperor personally sent the following suggestions to the Air Force Research Institute in the western suburbs. Director Li Ke was now eager to research and produce long-range bombers. As soon as he saw the emperor coming, Li Ke hurriedly greeted Li Zhenhua. Li Zhenhua was very interested in the father of helicopters in later generations.  It turned out that he was very respectful. After he came to China, Li Zhenhua wanted him to build his own helicopter in China, so this work test had been carried out for a long time, but he soon ran into trouble, that is, he  It took later generations a long time to solve the problem of helicopter spinning.  Li Zhenhua immediately told him his own solution, which was to install a tail wing at the back to control the helicopter.  Regarding Li Zhenhua's reminder, Li Ke was greatly admired, which made Li Zhenhua feel very embarrassed. I was repaying others with their inventions, and it made him so grateful. This is a bit inappropriate, but this kind of  There are too many things, and Li Zhenhua has long been accustomed to them.  A new type of helicopter appeared. Li Ke named it "Zhi-4". This is the fourth generation helicopter he built. It has a maximum weight of 2.6 tons and uses a 300-horsepower engine.  It has a height of 2240 meters, a speed of 260 kilometers per hour, and a range of 540 kilometers. This aircraft can take off and land vertically, hover, fly forward, fly backward, fly sideways, and automatically descend without power.  The General Logistics Department gave Li Ke a lot of credit, but Li Ke refused to accept it at any time. He thought it was the emperor's credit. If the emperor hadn't reminded him, he would have been unable to think of anything, but  Li Zhenhua's words were very interesting: "The credit should be credited to you. It's right for me to help you. Without your foundation, my ideas are useless no matter how good they are." Only then did Li Ke accept it.  However, the emperor asked him to conduct a practical demonstration for the senior generals of the army, using helicopters to attack tanks on the ground. At the same time, the tanks on the ground also had to conduct air defense drills. Just the day after the military meeting, he proposed to the emperor  It was time to conduct this exercise, so Li Zhenhua promised to let him prepare. He would lead the senior generals of the army and air force to watch.  At the Second Aircraft Research Institute in the mountainous area in the western suburbs, Director Li Ke welcomed the emperor and senior generals of the army. Today the emperor came to watch the new aircraft together with senior officers of the army and air force. Li Ke stood on the main floor of the research institute.  In front of the door, he personally came to greet the emperor and his entourage. To the emperor, he had always regarded him as a teacher. Without a series of prompts from the teacher, he thought he would not be able to build this new type of aircraft.  The emperor's help helped him avoid many detours in his research.  There is already a row of new helicopters parked at the airport. The paint on the fuselage is not the traditional silvery white of other aircraft, but the Army camouflage. In addition, the upper propellers are hanging low, and they don¡¯t look like they are helicopters.  There is nothing outstanding about it, but the test pilots next to it are all standing on the side with a hundredfold energy. Just looking at their confidence and spirit, one cannot underestimate this.  A new type of aircraft.  The convoy arrived at the airport tower under the leadership of Li Ke. The test pilots next to the plane had also entered their own planes. The green flares ordered to take off flew into the sky. The helicopter performance began, the engines roared, and the upper part of the plane  The propellers rotated, like a funnel on top of the plane. They rotated faster and faster, and the wind pushed down by the propellers blew violently to the ground. Slowly, the plane rose up from the ground and rose into the sky.  This aircraft performed various basic movements of a helicopter in the air, including vertical takeoff and landing, hovering, forward flight, backward flight, side flight, and automatic descent without power.  Seeing their skillful performance, the senior generals on the tower applauded together, and the second plane took off again. Its performance was to quickly transport troops to the designated location. A group of soldiers quickly boarded the plane, and the plane took off.  They were quickly transported from one place to another two kilometers away, followed by two other helicopters, which lifted two military jeeps in front of them, and then they quickly returned in the jeep.
