Chapter 207 Gladiator Fighter!
"Okay, okay!" Li Er's mouth cracked.
Once again, it’s business!
Next, Deguo placed a lot of orders.
For example, machine guns, artillery, ammunition, etc., as well as additional orders for submarines.
After a lot of things came down, it turned out to be an order of 30 million pounds.
"Mr. Li, our enemy has new fighter jets, which has given us a major blow. If we want to develop more advanced fighter jets, it still takes time! I wonder if your Li Flight Manufacturing Company has the kind of aircraft that can compete with the enemy?" Dehuang asked Li Er.
"I wonder what the performance of the fighter jets among your enemies is?" Li Er asked back, but in fact he was laughing inside.
Oh shit!
Your enemy's plane was also bought from me!
oops!
Think about it, it's so exciting!
Reselling on both sides.
"We have not seized any enemy fighter aircraft at present, but the enemy aircraft is very fast, almost twice as fast as us! Not only that, the firepower is also much more violent than ours... A series of excellence has caused us to be beaten very miserably." A marshal said with a headache.
Without air supremacy, they are not very brave to do bombing missions.
On the contrary, the positions on his side and the rear were bombed by enemy bombers, which was so annoying!
"Well, actually, we have another weapon, to a certain extent, to restrain fighter jets and bombers!" Li Er said.
"Oh? What weapon?" Dehuang and others were all curious.
They now need weapons that can fight against aircraft, no matter what weapons!
"It is called DSHK Deshka 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun! It is our latest air defense weapon! You can buy it and try it out. I believe that it should have a relatively large effect whether it is used for air defense or ground combat." Li Erdao.
"Oh, then we have to see, afternoon! Now, I still want to hear whether your company has more advanced fighter jets?"
"Yes, of course there is. Our company currently has a fighter with very good parameters and very powerful performance. It is called the Gladiator Fighter!" Li Erwei said.
"The maximum speed is 407 km/h, the ceiling is 10,060 meters, the weapon: 4 7.7mm machine guns, the range is 689 kilometers!"
In fact, this aircraft was one of the best models of its class in the late 1930s in its previous life. The "Fighter" adopts a fully enclosed bubble cockpit cover, which is quite rare among biplane fighters. Its engine power is 617.4 kilowatts and is equipped with 4 7.7mm machine guns. It is the model with the largest combat weight and strong firepower among the fighter jets of the same era.
It is more powerful than the Fiat CR.32 fighter jet sold to Britain by Li Lin!
First of all, the speed is about 40 kilometers per hour.
Of course, in terms of speed, it can be said that it is a little bit stronger.
However, the climbing lift Gladiator fighter is more than 2,000 meters tall.
However, in terms of firepower, the Gladiator fighter has 4 machine guns, while the Fiat CR.32 fighter has only 2 7.7mm caliber wing machine guns.
So in terms of firepower, it must be the Gladiator fighter that is even more powerful!
The firepower is half strong!
"Four machine guns?"
"Can the speed reach more than 400 kilometers per hour? My God, we used to buy your camel fighter, which is about 190 kilometers per hour, right?"
After seeing a group of people shocked, Li Er smiled and said, "Yes! This is considered the second-generation fighter of our Li Aircraft Manufacturing Company! The speed is more than twice as fast as the original one!"
"It is more flexible, climbs faster, and can perform a variety of tactics. It is definitely the nemesis of the original camel fighter!"
"I wonder how much this fighter jet costs?" Dehuang asked.
"36,000 pounds per aircraft!" Li Erdao.
“Can you discount the price?”
Gu Bi
"If you buy 200 aircraft at once, I'm willing to give it a price of 35,000 yuan per aircraft!" Li Er thought for a while.
"The discount is so small?" Dehuang was a little unhappy.
"Your Majesty, our plane is not profitable. If we lower the price, we will not make any money."
After the two sides got into a fight, they finally got an agreement.
"By the way, we have a new bomber, do you want it?" Li Er continued.
"New bomber?"
Everyone's eyes lit up again.
Bombers are also very important!
"Yes, our bomber is called the HS123 dive bomber! It is the world's first dive bomber at present!"
"What is a dive bomber? Well, just like this, dive down can be faster and bombard more accurately!" Li Er made a dive action with his palm.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Diver?"
"Hs.123 is a light single-seat attack aircraft, dive bomber, equipped with an engine, and four mounts under the wings can carry 450 kilograms of bombs."
"Unlike most biplane aircraft, Hs.123 adopts a solid all-metal structure, so it can dive bomb at an angle of 80°. Since the aircraft does not have a special fork-shaped bomb rack, bombs can only be dropped through the wing mount during dive. Usually a secondary fuel tank is mounted under the belly, which can increase its range from 480 kilometers to 860 kilometers when it is mounted on two bombs. The Hs.123's weapon has two 7.92mm synchronous machine guns. The aircraft is equipped with a radio station and is very advanced now. Pilots can contact the ground forces and conduct coordinated operations."
"Hs.123 is equipped with an 880-horsepower star piston engine, with a maximum speed of 340 kilometers per hour and a ceiling of 9,000 meters." Li Er introduced.
"My God, this speed is faster than ordinary fighter jets! In this case, they can perform tasks alone without escorting the fighter jets, unless they encounter the enemy's most advanced fighter jets!" someone said in shock.
"Yes!"
In fact, due to the rapid development of aviation technology in previous lives, this aircraft was already very ordinary by the end of the 1930s. At that time, biplane was considered a backward product. But now in 1914, it is definitely a super product!
It will only become ordinary after ten years!
"Buy, we want to buy 300 aircraft!"
"Okay, we'll sell for £33,000 each!"
...
soon.
A few months later.
The battle on the ground between the two sides is still in full swing.
However, the battle in the air was originally due to the fact that Deguo lost air supremacy, but after importing 200 gladiator fighters from Li Lin, he suddenly became inseparable from the enemy.
In particular, the Gladiator fighter is even better.
Even Deguo was in air battles and vaguely suppressed the enemy.
However, the British side is not to be outdone.
Their Fiat CR.32 fighter is not bad either.
Develop various tactics, and their pilots have more than the enemy, and even if they fight to the death, they will have to continue to defeat the enemy.
Both sides fought again!
Li Lin looked at the news and felt a little moved.
Today, dozens of pilots fell on some side.
Tomorrow, hundreds of pilots fell on the other side...
One day, both sides suspended air battles and waited for a week before talking about it.
Chapter completed!
