2024, Vladivostok, an abandoned air force base
"Victor, you must transport these aircraft away as soon as possible, because there have been a large number of bombers coming to this base recently, and there are more and more foreign spies nearby." Standing in a huge cave, Tasha used how much He said in a somewhat anxious tone that this was originally an ordinary transaction with the aviation complex. Unexpectedly, Mikoyan and his gang actually flew the aircraft to this base in a formation, a huge formation of a hundred aircraft.
Even small sports aircraft are scary enough, but those are Tu-4 bombers. One hundred refurbished and upgraded Tu-4 bombers have raised the combat readiness levels of Bald Eagle, Japan and South Korea. Well, especially Japan here, you must know that the combat radius of the Tu-4 is not as good as that of the MiG-2 bomber, but this combat radius is enough to threaten Japan and South Korea.
If the Japanese knew that Mikoyan had increased the combat radius of this thing to more than 4,000 kilometers, they would probably be even more uneasy. Therefore, in the past few days, some people have been putting pressure on Moscow, asking it to explain its intentions. After ignoring it, these countries searched like crazy for the bomber group hidden by the Bear. According to estimates from the Bear Intelligence Agency, the number of foreign spies near Vladivostok increased tenfold during this period.
Not only spies, but also operations personnel. The largest number here are actually operations personnel from Japan. They hold Chinese passports and drive directly from the land port. Don’t be too convenient. I guess their father’s intention is here, Tasha. Now I am really worried that this base will be attacked.
"Why is this hangar so big?" Wang Yue's focus was on this extremely old hangar. Is this a hangar? This thing has hollowed out an entire mountain, okay? It's hard to imagine that someone would do this, but by chance, someone actually did it, and it was done. This is much greater than those high-rise buildings and so on.
"This is a hangar used to deploy Tu-95 bombers, and it also serves as a maintenance base. During the most intense years of the Cold War, fifty Tu-95 bombers were deployed here. It was a force that could make the whole world tremble. Power." Tasha had a strange expression on her face, but her tone couldn't help but be filled with pride.
"Is this a 30 million US dollar bomber?" Wang Yue looked at the renovated Tu-4 bomber in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a burst of heartache. Tasha, an old man in his seventies, actually accepted a 3,000 US dollar bomber from him. Ten thousand dollars, one hundred bombers, a total of three billion dollars.
The National Air Force's bombing of the Japanese mainland gave the Eighth Route Army a lot of stimulation. Brigadier Chen approached Wang Yue and proposed to buy a bomber capable of bombing the Japanese mainland, but the B25 thing Wang Yue only had in his hands. So many, the National Government had emptied them for emergency aid. Where could there be any more? So Wang Yue began to inspect the bombers he could get. This made him discover a very strange phenomenon, that is, although the B29 bomber Because it is too advanced, I can't carry it with me. However, as a replica of the B29, the Tu-4 bomber can carry it with me.
It seems that when Mao Xiong imitated it, he simplified some things that he couldn't figure out, so that the technical level of the entire bomber dropped back to the level of early 1941. Well, okay, maybe it has not reached the level of 1941. Otherwise, Mi After some hard work, Gao Yang won't ask for 30 million US dollars from himself.
"Victor, this is a strategic bomber with a combat radius of 4,200 kilometers. It has a minimum bomb load of four tons. It costs 30 million US dollars and there are people who are willing to pay for it now." Tasha rolled her eyes. Gao Yang helped you refurbish a hundred fighter jets when manpower was tight, but you were still bothering to do it. It was really disrespectful, not to mention that she personally went to battle against the Tupolev Design Bureau for this matter. , Haoxuan and the top executives of the aviation complex fell out.
Mikoyan also felt a little regretful during this period. He was still busy with government orders, but money was not good, especially since the exchange rate was still unstable. The original profit was extremely low, and the little money he earned was offset by inflation. There is nothing left, but when they look back, they find that their old customers have a tendency to get close to lolicon. Is this a big deal?
Ever since, they have really worked hard on renovating the Tu-4 bomber. They have reduced the weight where it should be reduced, strengthened where it should be strengthened, and redesigned it when it should be redesigned. Almost all the new ones that could be used in 1941 were used. The technology has been used. In the past, the Tu-4 was criticized for not being as good as the B-29, but now the Tu-4 is every bit as good as the B-29. If Wang Yue continues to provide his own modifications, they all want to The thing was changed into a beast that carried six tons of bombs and had a combat radius of 5,000 kilometers.
Of course, Tasha must have turned a blind eye to these.
"Why buy it back and let Sam II be used as a target? Or put it on the ground and wait for the self-destructing drone?" Wang Yue smiled disdainfully. The only countries that could use this thing are just a few countries, but it's a surprise. It’s okay to not be able to fight anyone? Not to mention the little brothers, Mao Xiong himself was beaten to a pulp. A huge military country was actually cornered by a few small drones. It was like a joke.
After all, he still lacks the vigor he had twenty years ago. After all, the emperor is getting old. He is a man of foresight and backwardness. He can obviously fight a war of annihilation, but he insists on a war of attrition. Don’t you know that there are many other battlefields besides war. On the battlefield Being able to maintain the situation does not mean that it can also be used in other aspects. The most prominent ones are finance and public opinion. The failure can be said to be a complete mess.
"Victor, don't say such things. Bombers of this level never act alone. They are not fighter jets. Uh, okay, you have done that, but that is just an example." Tasha said angrily. , this guy, if he hadn't required that the technology of 1941 be limited, Mikoyan would definitely be able to transform this thing into a penetration bomber, okay?
As for the use of Tu-4 bombers as fighter jets mentioned by Tasha, it was a helpless move. In the years when the number of anti-aircraft missiles was insufficient and the height of fighter jets was not enough, we did use modified Tu-4 bombers to fight high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, and We have achieved results, so let’s just say, do you dare to believe this kind of thing?
"Are the spare parts and consumables ready?" Wang Yue asked. Although the P-39 fighter jets and B-25 bombers he bought before had a lot of spare parts and consumables, they were indeed not enough, forcing the National Air Force and the Eighth Route Army to I had to try to solve some parts by myself. The blacksmith at Shuiyaozi Arsenal actually started knocking out aircraft parts by hand. He asked you if you can believe it?
