    Before the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom could wake up from the shock of the Typhoon-class guided missile cruiser, they suddenly heard the whistling sound from the sky again. Although there was an awning above their heads, blocking the view directly above them, however,  When the roar came from the sky and passed over their heads, the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom still looked back. Because the flight altitude of the aircraft was not high and the flight speed was controlled, they could basically fly over the awning.  In the blink of an eye, I could tell the size of the plane.  (Niu Wen Novel ~ Read Novel Online) To the surprise of the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the two jets that had just passed over the heads of countries flew so low that they almost tore off the awnings.  "Your Excellency, are those two planes from your country's air force?" The American president turned to the smiling Chinese president.  "It should be so." Zhao Bei just turned his head back from the west and nodded.  "Aren't you afraid of danger when flying so low? Besides, shouldn't this place be under air traffic control by now? Why do they appear here?" the US president asked again.  "Perhaps he lost his way. The pilot was indeed at fault. I will ask the Air Force to investigate later. If it was the pilot's negligence, there must be punishment." Zhao Bei nodded again.  "Is that a bomber?" The British Prime Minister leaned over and asked the translator to ask the Chinese President.  "No. That's a fighter jet." Zhao Bei smiled even happier.  "Fighter? Such a big fighter?" The President of the United States and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom were very surprised. Although they are not military experts, since it is a time of war, don't expect the heads of government to not completely ignore the military. They all know that,  Fighters should be inferior to bombers in terms of size, but just now, the two Chinese military aircraft that roared past and "lost their way" were obviously not any kind of jet aircraft they had seen before.  According to the speculation of the two heads of government, the fuselage length of the two jets that just flew over was at least three times as long as the "Lightning", or even longer. It is hard to believe that such a long aircraft could actually be a fighter jet. The fuselage  What's in it?  Could it be a bomber disguised as a fighter jet?  Can a miniaturized atomic bomb be mounted in the fuselage?  This speculation is very reasonable. With the application of radar, high-altitude penetration of bombers has become increasingly impossible. Now, the U.S. Air Force and the British Air Force are jointly studying the low-altitude penetration tactics and technology of bombers. Could it be said that the Chinese  Once again at the forefront of the world's military powers?  The President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Britain immediately looked uneasy.  Zhao Bei observed what was happening and knew that the two allied heads of state around him were worried, so he explained it in order to strengthen the trust between the allies.  "That's right. It is indeed a new type of heavy fighter, but it is not a general-purpose fighter like the 'Lightning', but an interceptor. To be precise, it is a long-range high-speed interceptor with a very long range.  Far, much farther than the 'Lightning', and due to the installation of two high-thrust jet engines, its flying speed, especially at high altitudes, is very fast. No bomber, including jet bombers, can outrun it, so  , is very effective in intercepting enemy bombers flying over long distances. Now, according to the reliable information we have received, Nazi Germany is developing a brand new long-range high-speed bomber. For this, we have to develop this type in a targeted manner.  Long-range high-speed interceptor aircraft. This interceptor aircraft has a relatively single function and can only be used for air combat and cannot be used for ground attacks. Therefore, it is a purely defensive weapon. In terms of flexibility, it is far inferior to light fighter aircraft. " China  Mr. President's words immediately reassured the British Prime Minister, but the American President Mr. Truman was still beating the drum in his heart. The United States is not as devoid of pursuits as the United Kingdom. The United States has an air force base in Alaska near the Arctic Circle. Although currently,  Those air force bases are very small and cannot take off and land bombers. However, since the end of the test of China's "Cruel Giant" strategic missile, the United States has made a formal proposal to the U.S. government. According to this proposal,  The United States will expand several large air force bases in Alaska to station long-range bombers to ensure that U.S. Air Force bombers can take off from bases in the Arctic Circle to carry out atomic bombing of Siberia on the other side of the Arctic Circle, although Siberia is still not  China's territory, but this move can indirectly threaten China and force China to cautiously "view" the strategic advantages brought to it by strategic missiles.  In other words, the US government¡¯s wishful thinking is that when bomber technology becomes more mature and more advanced long-range bombers are developed, the US Air Force can take off strategic bombers from bases in Alaska and fly over the vast, sparsely populated Siberian region to attack China.strategic deterrence in the northern region.  Before the United States develops its own strategic missiles, this "Arctic route bombing plan" is the only effective tactic that the United States can use to implement "nuclear deterrence" against China. Moreover, the United States also believes that with the flight distance of current fighter jets,  , the Siberian route is "very safe".  But now, when Truman saw China's new long-range high-speed interceptor aircraft, he suddenly realized a serious problem. Is this long-range high-speed interceptor aircraft used to intercept American bombers that have traveled long distances from the Arctic route?  Woolen cloth?  This possibility is very high, and Truman is very worried. In fact, he is now suspecting that the reason why these two long-range high-speed interceptors of the Chinese Air Force appeared in the air control area and passed over the heads of heads of state at low altitude was for the sole purpose of  I'm afraid it's a reminder to the United States, "Don't make useless efforts." Even if the U.S. Air Force develops more advanced bombers, it will be impossible to shuttle through the Arctic route. These long-range, high-speed interceptors are the nemesis of U.S. strategic bombers.  Truman's conjecture was very correct. The long-range high-speed interceptor aircraft that was first unveiled to foreigners was used to intercept the enemy's long-range strategic bombers. Its development code was "Hanhao Bird", and it was designed to operate on Siberian and Arctic routes.  Designed for the mission, considering that Siberia is vast and sparsely populated, the aircraft needs to have a much longer range than ordinary fighter jets. Therefore, this "Hanhaoniao" interceptor aircraft has a specially lengthened fuselage to accommodate more fuel tanks, and  It uses two "Roar 5" jet engines to turn it into a heavy fighter. Its combat radius can reach an astonishing 3,500 kilometers while carrying two auxiliary fuel tanks. In order to adapt to long-distance flights  According to the needs, this heavy fighter has two pilots.  At present, the "Hanhaoniao" has officially entered active service in the Chinese Air Force, and has been deployed to China's series of air force bases in the Arctic Circle. Cooperating with the long-range warning radar network being established, any attempt to fly over the Arctic  All aircraft on the route will be intercepted by the "Hanhaoniao".  What is even more amazing is that although the "Hanhaoniao" is equipped with two machine guns, at the same time, it seems that in order to cooperate with the advent of the "missile era", this long-range high-speed interceptor is also equipped with air-to-air missiles.  When equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks, this interceptor can carry four "Hornet" air-to-air missiles with a range of 30 kilometers. This missile relies on airborne radar to guide the attack. In the case of a double-bomb salvo, it can effectively attack large targets.  The damage rate is higher than 70%, and because the warhead of this "Bumblebee" missile is very heavy and very powerful, any bomber can be severely damaged as long as it is hit by one of this air-to-air missiles.  The "Hornet" missile is an air-based reduced model of another anti-aircraft missile. Its prototype missile is the "Hornet" surface-to-air missile that China officially put into active service in the summer of 1945. This missile has already been used in the Turkish Campaign.  It was later used in actual combat and achieved very good results. The actual combat results showed that this surface-to-air missile can not only intercept German jet fighters, but also can be used to intercept V1-type flying missiles launched by the German army. The hit rate is  Extremely high.  The effective firing height of the "Hornet" surface-to-air missile can reach 25,000 meters. At this altitude, no aircraft can escape its fatal attack. Moreover, this missile has been developed at the same time as it was being developed.  Air-based and sea-based types. Currently, the sea-based "Seabee" is undergoing the final stage of testing, while the air-based "Bumblebee" has been equipped with the "Hanhao Bird".  Regarding the situation of the "Hornet" series of missiles, the allies currently know basically nothing. Even the Lanfang Air Force radar unit does not know the following fact: they once found on the radar screen that "the flying speed is astonishingly fast"  The "UFO" is actually the "Hornet" launched by the Chinese surface-to-air missile force at the German aircraft on the Turkish front line.  Currently, there are only two battalions of Chinese surface-to-air missile troops stationed on the front lines of Turkey, stationed respectively along the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits. Many cross-border German aircraft were encountered on the other side of the strait as soon as they flew across the strait.  By the time of the Hornet interception, even after parachuting, the German pilots had no idea what had shot down their plane.  Of course, the United States does not know the existence of the "Hornet", but I am afraid that this secret will not be kept for long, because the Chinese air defense force in Egypt will soon be equipped with the "Hornet". After all, weapons are used for fighting and cannot always be hidden.  And, more importantly, through the display of new weapons, the U.S. government can realize that there is no future in military confrontation with China. China has come up with so many dazzling new weapons in one go, God knows  How many secret weapons does China still have?  This is exactly the strategic purpose that Zhao Bei wants to achieve, which is to scare the United States. Otherwise, he would not have specially transferred two "Hanhao Birds" from China to fly all the way from the Arctic base.??, the Chinese Air Force commanders supplying the airport along the way were also in awe. Moreover, after the long-distance flight, the excellent long-range attack performance of the "Hanhaoniao" was further tested. Facts have proved that this kind of long-range and high-speed interception  The aircraft can adapt to various climate and latitude conditions. After the aerial tanker is successfully developed in the future, this improved model of "Hanhaoniao" will definitely be able to fly farther.  In addition to scaring the United States, the "Hanhaoniao" also plans to make its debut on the European battlefield. A weapon that has not been tested in actual combat is definitely not a perfect weapon.  The President of the United States can also understand the good intentions of the Chinese President. However, now he can no longer think about the strategic significance of the "Hanhaoniao" appearance in Egypt, because the two heavy fighter jets disappeared into the distance.  Afterwards, a presidential secretary hurried up to the president and handed a telegram to President Truman, who looked unhappy.  Truman glanced at the telegram, his face immediately became brighter, and he even smiled a little. He handed the telegram to the British Prime Minister first, and the British Prime Minister also showed a happy smile. Then, the telegram was handed to the Chinese President.  "Gentlemen, please pay attention to the telegram just received. This morning, there was a coup in Rome. The Italian fascist leader Mussolini has been placed under house arrest. The new Italian government announced a unilateral armistice and invited the allies to immediately dispatch armed forces to the Italian mainland.  , the Italian naval fleet will provide maritime security missions for this operation." Before the Chinese translator could translate the contents of the telegram to Zhao Bei, President Truman had already stood up and translated the contents of the telegram in English with a loud voice.  The content was briefed to all the heads of allied countries present.  Soon, the news was translated into various languages, and the scene immediately became noisy. The heads of state were very happy, and Zhao Bei was also the same. But what was different from others was that at this moment, he had already begun to plan his next move.
