During this time, the technical staff of Datang Group came up with many shocking new equipment. What is even more surprising is that the design ideas of these equipment are extremely mature, and they have demonstrated excellent performance after being put into production.
At the same time that the Sixth Master flew at transonic speeds that shocked the air force bosses off the coast of Long Island, a special aircraft also started its own performance on a lawn in a secret base on Long Island.
Those who visited the site were all veterans of the Army. After they heard that an aircraft would be equipped with the Army, they were very interested in this new equipment.
That's right, Tang Mo eagerly took out the helicopter, because this kind of aircraft is also very important. Tang Mo had almost no second answer when it came to choosing a helicopter. The UH-1 helicopter is really excellent, and its performance is significantly better than that of the Soviet helicopters of the same period.
Interestingly, because another helicopter of the same era was also very good, Tang Mo directly took out two helicopters in one go and equipped the troops at the same time.
The second helicopter is also famous. It is as famous as the UH-1 helicopter and shone in the Vietnam War. This kind of aircraft is called a Chinook. It has two horizontal propellers at the front and rear. It has a strange appearance and powerful functions.
The pair of Huyin (UH-1) and Chinook (CH-47) was active from the 1960s to the late 1970s. It was not until the emergence of the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter that the UH-1 Huyin helicopter was disuse.
The technology of the UH-60 helicopter is too advanced. Tang State still has many technologies that it has not fully understood, so it can only use the Xiu Yin helicopter to make the transition first.
When it matures later, then move on to the Blackhawk, and then switch to the more advanced straight 20, all in one go without any violation.
When several army generals and Marshal Tiger, who took some time to watch the helicopter test flight in person, saw the helicopter's huge propeller turning, rolling up the surrounding dead branches and leaves, and taking the helicopter's fuselage into the sky. , they were also completely shocked by the sight in front of them.
Before today, if someone had told them that there was an aircraft that could take off and land vertically, they would have scoffed at the idea.
But now, they saw this scene with their own eyes: a plane took off on the spot and then hovered in the sky.
"If there are 100 such planes, can we directly parachute a battalion of soldiers behind the enemy?" Because Tike had read the book "Air Ranger Tactics" written by Tang Mo, he turned his head and asked the man next to him. general.
The general thought for a few seconds, then shook his head worriedly: "If it hits an anti-aircraft position, something big will happen."
Tiger nodded, and then turned his attention to the helicopter hovering in the sky again.
Although today's firepower density does not allow the large-scale use of helicopter airborne tactics, this kind of aircraft still has many functions.
It can quickly replenish ammunition and troops for the front line in the field, transport the wounded, and even conduct risky forward reconnaissance...
If it is safe enough, it can even transport the commander, allowing him to quickly keep up with the advancing troops - much faster than taking a car or train.
It was only at this moment that he finally understood what the two helipads reserved in the Forbidden City were used for - they were not for taking off fixed-wing aircraft, they were reserved for helicopters! ….
"If it can drop bombs, will we not have to contact the Air Force's attack aircraft in the future?" An armored commander asked whimsically.
[Given the general environment, "Maybe it would be best if we didn't need to contact the Air Force. They are too slow...like a snail." Another general joked with a smile.
Anyway, no matter how quickly the Air Force cooperates, ground force commanders will always dislike those late Air Force bomber support.
This is the same as how long it takes depends on whether you wait outside the toilet or squat inside the toilet. The time to wait for the arrival of the Air Force plane is always extremely long; but the time for the plane to hover overhead always seems surprisingly short.
If there really is someone who belongs to the Army
Of course, their own air fire support is excellent: even if it is not that easy to use, even if the losses are larger, it still belongs to their army, right?
For a time, many people have begun to think about how to make good use of these "vertical take-off and landing aircraft" to create an army-specific air support force.
It's just that they didn't expect that such a cool operation as loading rockets on a helicopter would take some time to think about.
Tang Mo took out the UH-1 helicopter, also thinking about making it as convenient as possible for him: taking a car is not as convenient as taking a plane, and saving time is indeed too important to him.
…
Pan Yiping stood on the dock in Bunas, looking at his daughter and old servant beside him, and still felt an unreal feeling.
His goods were sold in Bunas at a very high price, but the tax collector in Bunas did not ask him for a penny.
Yes, all his goods were tax-free. This time he made a lot of money and got many things that he had never dared to imagine.
Now he has a pile of business cards in his pocket, some even trimmed with gold foil. These business cards represent big names. Normally, he would never get a chance to meet big people.
For example, Sir Conrad, the tax collector of Bunas, was a high-ranking nobleman of the Lions Empire whom he could not speak to in the past. Now, he not only got the other party's business card, but also had several meals with him and became familiar with him.
What's even more exaggerated is that these meals were all served by Sir Conrad. There were many noble officials at the banquet, and everyone paid him great respect.
It seems that in the Lains Empire, he is the big shot who needs to be fawned over, and the officials of the Lains Empire are like ants under his feet.
"If there is a chance, that... take me to meet your... friend." The seagulls in the distance kept calling, and Pan Yiping finally broke the silence and said to his daughter.
"Dad..." Pan Qi was a little embarrassed. Before coming here, she really didn't expect that the young man who had been standing there cleaning glasses in a tavern called Silver Fox on a remote street in Dahuadi City for a whole day. There is so much energy.
Now she knows that there is also a tavern called Silver Fox in the Lions Empire. It looks very shabby and must have been open for many years. It turns out that in this pub, there is also a young man standing behind the counter cleaning glasses. ….
Pan Yiping has also been in business for many years, and his vision is not comparable to that of young Pan Qi. Of course he knew better than his daughter that this was definitely not a coincidence.
There must be some kind of connection between the two Silver Fox Taverns. Just think about it and you can figure out that they are probably the same organization.
No matter what this organization does, its energy is definitely extraordinary. Because at least on the side of the Lions Empire, it has almost reached the point where its hands and eyes can reach the sky.
He has been thinking about whether to interact with such an organization: he has been engaged in ideological struggle in the past few days, and it was not until just now that he really made up his mind.
He is just a small businessman. If he doesn't take risks, he may remain just a small businessman for the rest of his life.
The things he encountered in Lains these past few days made him experience for the first time the wonderful feeling of looking down at all living beings from a high place. This feeling was really great.
Even in his sleep, he couldn't forget that feeling: he really liked this feeling so much, the feeling of having power in his hand, the feeling of being able to say the same thing.
So he decided not to give up such an opportunity, an opportunity to gain such power. He wants to be like Mr. Martin, a person who can make Sir Conrad tremble with just one look!
On another dock, cars from the Tang Empire were carefully unloaded one after another. The dock workers gathered together, waiting for rewards from the Tang Empire businessmen.
They took the colorful banknotes from the hands of the first mate on the ship, and then left with nods and bows, extremely respectful.
Looking at those businessmen, Pan Yiping once again felt the influence of money and power.
good. Looking at the Rolls-Royce Phantom cars reflecting the sun on the pier, he couldn't help but swallow.
"Please show me your ticket." The clerk in charge of checking tickets was very polite. Behind him stood two bumbling guards from Lines.
The servant quickly handed the three tickets in his hand to the other party. When the other party saw the names printed on them, the smile on his face became even stronger: "Thank you for your cooperation, sir, madam. Best wishes for the journey." joy."
He couldn't afford to offend a noble person who could afford three first-class tickets for the Tang Empire's "Ideal" cruise ship. What's more... his boss had told him that among the guests leaving Hong Kong today, all guests named Pan should be taken special care of.
"Thank you..." Pan Yiping once again felt the happiness that power brought to him.
Soon, the dock guard carrying a rifle became a porter, hurriedly helping Pan Yiping's servant lift the luggage. These are all local specialties from the Lains Empire, and they are meant to be taken back as gifts.
Without the dignity of the guards at all, the two soldiers were no different from dock workers. They helped the Pan Yiping family put their luggage into the cabin of the "Ideal" before the second-class passengers entered the dock.
The decoration here is so luxurious that there is even a button in the room that can call the waiter. After learning that the distinguished guests were boarding the ship, the captain personally came to introduce himself, which once again flattered Pan Yiping, a small businessman from Dahua...
The captain invited his family to visit the bow of the ship, where they saw a dark crowd of third-class passengers boarding the ship on the pier. They were crowded together, shouting and cursing.
When he came, Pan Yiping was like the passengers crowded together at his feet. Now, he looked down at the crowd and didn't know what he was thinking. .
