Ant Polman, who had been waiting in the conference room for a long time, saw that the two of them had not come over yet, so he couldn't help but knock on the office door, which woke them up from the discussion.
Fang Lang said sorry very politely, and after signaling to Kurt Tank, they walked to the conference room together.
After following Ant Polman into the conference room, Fang Lang discovered that this was a conference room rather than a training classroom, because there was no common large conference table here.
There are only individual small seats and a small long table in front of the seats. At this time, the conference room was already full of people, densely packed, at least nearly a hundred people.
As Fang Lang and others entered, everyone stood up and gave warm applause to welcome the boss who saved them from suffering.
Fang Lang knew some of the people here, but he had never met most of them.
After feeling everyone's enthusiasm, Fang Lang also waved to everyone with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to shake hands with Holden and other people he knew well, and exchanged greetings. After a while, he slowly walked to something similar to In front of the podium.
Seeing that a cup of tea had been placed on the main table, he couldn't wait to take a sip first, moisten his throat, and then slowly said:
"Hello everyone, my name is Fang Lang. I believe everyone knows me, so I won't introduce myself too much.
I originally came here today to see the first aircraft manufactured by our company, but Professor Kurt Tank always told me that propeller aircraft were too backward for him to be interested. If he wanted to play with them, he had to play with high precision. Pointy jet fighter.
He pulled me hard and gave me a hard time, and used the enthusiasm I had to pursue his lover. It's not that I can't resist this enthusiasm, the key is that I have no interest in men!
But being chased by him like this all the time is no solution. If my girlfriend misunderstands me, I will be in trouble. Therefore, in the end, we had to compromise and agreed to let him start a project to establish a jet fighter research group. "
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Holden's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at Fang Lang with burning eyes and began to think about whether he should also sell his lust in exchange for his own project approval!
Fang Lang's intuition was sharp and he immediately noticed Holden's gaze and said directly:
"Mr. Holden, don't worry. As the saying goes, if you have many lice, you won't be itchy, but if you have many debts, you won't have to worry.
Now that I have agreed to Professor Tan Ke's R&D plan, I will naturally not favor one over the other. After today's seminar, we will discuss your project alone. What do you think? "
Hearing this, Holden nodded with satisfaction and replied loudly:
"good!"
Everyone in the conference room burst into laughter when they heard this, and at the same time they began to secretly expect something in their hearts. For a time, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became much more cheerful.
Everyone who saw that the boss was still a little embarrassed at first felt relieved. It seemed that the boss was a very kind person!
After everyone calmed down, Fang Lang said slowly:
"Why do we organize everyone to put aside their work and come together to hold such a symposium today!
It’s definitely not to tell you about the establishment of new projects. It’s mainly because I discovered some problems during my communication with Professor Kurt Tank today. Here I want to share what I learned about some of the latest tactics of the Air Force. Thoughts, share them with everyone.
We should avoid the situation where we work behind closed doors and the products we have just manufactured are already lagging behind. Then a lot of our research funds will be wasted. "
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Kurt Tank. When Fang Lang saw this, he quickly waved to everyone.
“I am not criticizing Professor Kurt Tank. You must know that in our research, someone proposed specific performance indicators, and then everyone completed the design around these indicators.
But now our company has not received orders from the military, so we cannot determine specific performance indicators. We need to use our own subjective initiative in research and development to develop excellent products.
Attract the attention of the military, and even promote our products to the air forces of other countries. Only in this way can our company be profitable and have more funds to support our subsequent research plans.
If we want our products to be good enough to attract the attention of the military and the air forces of other countries, we all need to have a clear understanding of the tactical thinking of the future air force.
As the commander of an aircraft carrier formation, I happen to have access to the latest tactical ideas. Therefore, I called you here today just to share with you some of the latest tactical ideas I have learned and some of my guesses about future air combat models. Come out and discuss it with everyone. I hope it can inspire everyone. "
After hearing this, everyone in the conference room began to whisper among themselves, and fortunately, they quickly focused their attention on Fang Lang again.
Of course Fang Lang could hear everyone's voices. He paused deliberately to see everyone's reaction. After everyone calmed down, he spoke again:
"I just heard everyone's discussion. Some people said that now that there is peace, the demand for military equipment will not be so great. Can we find suitable buyers for the products we have invested heavily in research and development?
I can understand everyone's desire for peace, and I am very grateful to employees who consider me as the boss.
However, I still regret to tell you that peace did not come with the end of the European War as everyone expected. Instead, it changed its form and began to erupt on a small scale all over the world.
Perhaps, a world war like the European War will not happen again, but civil wars in various countries caused by ideology will occur one after another. The confrontation between the capitalist camp headed by the United States and Britain and the other camp headed by the Soviet Union will intensify.
Brazil, where we are located, should be regarded as a rare paradise, which can ensure that everyone can conduct research with peace of mind in a relatively safe environment.
Therefore, Brazil is now a great place for everyone to show off their talents. You don’t have to worry about the products you develop being useless. "
Fang Lang said these words to keep these outstanding high-level intellectuals and technical elites in the aviation industry in his hands, lest they become upset and want to go home after hearing that Germany is about to relax restrictions. .
Although he brought everyone's family members to Brazil, there is no guarantee that no one will miss their homeland and want to return to their homeland.
After hearing what Fang Lang said, everyone looked nervous and slightly worried, while some looked happy.
Fang Lang did not dwell too much on this topic and continued:
"Some people also say, can I, the commander of the Brazilian Navy's aircraft carrier group, understand the world's latest tactical thinking and future warfare methods?
Who are you looking down on! Don't leave after class, let's have a nice chat in the playground! "
Everyone who understood that Fang Lang was joking burst into laughter again when they heard this.
"Don't tell me, I, a humble naval aviation commander, really understand the world's latest tactical thinking and future methods of warfare.
Why do you say this way! Everyone knows that Brazil and the United States are very close, and I have close relationships with many American generals. Some time ago, I even hired many retired American generals to serve as consultants in one of my companies. Therefore, when I say that I have many American generals under my command, everyone should not have any objections! "
Of course, everyone believed this. After all, the recruitment of mercenaries by the military contracting company in Brazil was also a big deal. Everyone also knew that the boss behind the military contracting company was the young man in front of them.
With this understanding, everyone really had to start taking Fang Lang's words seriously.
"In my exchanges with these American generals, I also gained my own understanding of the methods, methods, and tactical thinking of future wars. Today I will discuss these understandings with you.
During World War II, due to the improved performance of fighter jets and the widespread use of radios and radars, command conditions were improved and coordination among various arms became closer.
Air force aviation mainly carries out large formation air combat and large-scale concentrated bombing. Tactics to support land and naval operations have also been comprehensively developed.
These are our real experiences in World War II. I believe that everyone knows it very well without me saying more.
So with the emergence of jet fighters after World War II, how will our air force tactics change?
First of all, all the major countries in the world have begun their own research on jet fighters. To be more precise, it should be the research on jet fighters. I believe everyone should know better than me about the characteristics of jet fighters. They are faster and more powerful. High ceiling.
As for his role, there is still no major change. He is still used to compete with the enemy for air supremacy.
But his tactics are still to gather together on a large scale and carry out large-scale air battles with the enemy?
I don’t think so. After all, the jet fighter’s high speed and high altitude require it to have more room for movement, instead of being densely packed with a large number of aircraft. In this way, it might collide with its own people. .
Therefore, in this case, the air combat formation must gradually transition to a small formation mobile air combat and maintain tactical coordination among small formations.
As for the jet fighter that uses this tactic, I classify it as a first-generation jet fighter. "
Everyone below began to whisper among themselves and discuss. Fang Lang did not stop when he saw this, but waited for everyone to discuss. He also wanted to see if anyone raised any objections, and then bring it up for discussion.
But it was obvious that everyone present was an expert and could easily understand Fang Lang's words. Therefore, everyone quickly nodded and looked at Fang Lang, waiting for his next words.
Fang Lang didn't feel disappointed when no one asked questions. He just nodded and continued:
"Now the tactical thinking of the air forces in various countries around the world is transitioning in this direction. So under the guidance of this tactical thinking, what kind of performance do our fighter jets need to have to make the air force pay for it?"
As he spoke, Fang Lang stretched out his fingers and counted them one by one:
"Faster speed, higher ceiling, larger combat radius, better maneuverability, better control performance, and greater damage capability. These are what we have been pursuing.
But is there anything else besides these? "
After finishing speaking, Fang Lang glanced at everyone in the conference room, hoping to get everyone's answers, but obviously it was difficult for everyone to come up with other ideas in a hurry, so they could only wait for Fang Lang's answer.
】
Seeing this, Fang Lang didn't hold back and said directly:
"My answer is yes. I was inspired by the Americans, which is to discover the enemy's traces first.
As we all know, jet fighters are very fast and may be by your side in the blink of an eye. Finding traces of enemies by naked eyes is obviously no longer keeping up with the times.
Therefore, the Americans began to install air search radars on their fighter jets. In other words, they can detect the enemy's traces in advance without the guidance of ground radar.
In my opinion, this is a huge progress and provides a new direction for our fighter design. "
