Chapter 47 New Weapons
"Yes, our Hawkeye - the radar and radio signals of the reconnaissance/command airship were greatly disturbed, so until the time it was visible, the Hawkeye people discovered it, so..."
Just after the attack was repelled, facing the inquiry of Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini, the front-line commander gave this answer. Yes, the Italians have always relied on the "Hawkeye" that provides battlefield information - the reconnaissance/command airship. This time, in the confrontation with the "sentinel" of the US Navy's air fleet - the reconnaissance/command/electronic warfare airship.
In electronic confrontation, the most important thing is actually power. High-power electronic equipment determines the operation of low-power electronic equipment. The reason why Tang Yunyang first used spacecraft as a reconnaissance/command platform was this long-term idea.
In terms of the power of electronic equipment alone, the ability of "Hawkeye" - reconnaissance/command airships is actually a contemporary product with the "Sentinel" - reconnaissance/command/electronic warfare airships. They are not as good as the "Wanglou iii" - early warning. The electronic equipment on electronic warfare airships is advanced. At least in terms of weight and automation, the level of countries around the world is much worse than that of the equipment of the Federal Defense Forces of China. As for the better than Area 51, it is better to compare. The things developed in Area 51 are now, they may think of them after they have studied the post-20s.
It can be seen that for money, Mike Lang has already put the instinct of a profiteer in the traditional Chinese Federation thinking, "eating what is in his mouth, holding it in the chopsticks, and greed in the pot" to the extreme. At least in terms of technological development, this is like this.
Therefore, the reason why "Hawkeye" - reconnaissance/command airship was defeated by "Sentinel" - reconnaissance/command/electronic warfare airship was the change in load load. "Sentinel" - reconnaissance/command/electronic warfare airship used turbofan engine technology, which greatly improved its load load. This made the power of the "Sentinel" - reconnaissance/command/electronic warfare radar and electronic warfare equipment much greater than that of "Hawkeye" - reconnaissance/command airship.
You will probably recall that "Hawkeye" - the most brilliant record of reconnaissance/command airships was the battle when Tang Yunyang led his men to land on the Shandong Peninsula. Long-range reconnaissance, radio reconnaissance, and radio interference. Later, in the Iron operation, Thunder International encountered the British radar-carried airship, which evolved from these platforms to another level.
Compared with the electronic warfare pods on ordinary aircraft, the electronic warfare equipment on the airship is large enough and has strong enough power. The coverage range is much greater, regardless of frequency range or intensity, which is far from comparable to that of the electronic warfare pods on the aircraft.
"So what you mean is that the Americans have developed new weapons that are far more advanced than Hawkeye, so our ground forces will stop attacking because of this?"
Obviously, Prime Minister Benito Mussolini didn't know much about those professional things, so the officer he questioned had to patiently explain it to him.
"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister, I guess the new air fleet of the US military has increased the power of their electronic equipment because it has a new airship. Of course, it is not ruled out that they surpassed the Chinese Federation in radio electronic technology and produced...?"
"Electronic technology beyond the Chinese Federation? My dear officer, this is the ridiculous thing I have heard. Will Americans take out another 7 trillion to arm their army?"
This sentence made the officer stop his guessing. Yes, in World War Gambling, the Chinese Federation received a bet of 7 trillion yuan from the Chinese Federation citizens. This indicates that those who invested this 7 trillion yuan are willing to × 10 or even × 100 times the Chinese yuan to keep their bets from being wasted.
At that time, the world's capital betting on the wind reached 70 trillion yuan. If it were calculated based on the ratio just now, it would probably be that all the money on the entire earth was buying the war of the Chinese Federation. Otherwise, everyone's money would go into the opponent's pocket.
Moreover, as an officer who had bet on the Chinese Federation, he was also unwilling to lose. For this matter, he was willing to do everything to prevent anyone or anything from affecting his "retirement plan".
"Of course I won't be my respectable Prime Minister, but the problem now is that we need more and more powerful equipment. I think if possible, we may take this opportunity to get it from the Federation of China..."
The problem that has not been said is "Wanglou i" - early warning, electronic warfare airship, which is a product that the Chinese Federation has not sold to the outside world. This is an excessive requirement, because although it is just "Wanglou i" - early warning, electronic warfare airship, there are not many technical secrets on it. For example, "Wanglou i" - early warning, electronic warfare airship, all on electronic warfare airships are large-screen LCDs, such as the initial computer chips, old models, but other countries in the world have not developed radar, infrared, laser and other technologies.
It can be said that the "Wanglou"-level early warning, electronic warfare airship, uses almost an epoch-making product compared with the reconnaissance equipment of other countries on airships at that time. Especially computer technology, when there was no such product in this world, "Wangloui" - early warning, the primary chips on electronic warfare airships have been eliminated in the Federal Defense Forces of China.
This proves one thing: the development of science and technology is accelerated. Especially when it is combined with good political, economic and social factors, its development will move forward in an accelerated manner. This is why many politicians are inferring that the scientific and technological level of the Chinese Federation will completely surpass the scientific and technological level of the world in 50 years and develop to a higher stage.
This is a terrible thing. At least Western politicians do not want to repeat the repetition of Sengge Linbi's Mongolian horse team, wielding a scimitar and striking the heavy machine gun position. If that pattern really formed, Western politicians would rather be a complete allies of the Chinese Federation than be enemies with it.
So now, it depends on whether this war can slow down the development of the Chinese Federation and also promote the level of scientific and technological development in Western countries.

Benito Mussolini didn't say much about this matter. He believed that the generals on the front line would consider it. After all, they were not a messy army, they were the essence of the entire Italian army - the Air Assault Legion.
The fact is that Lieutenant General Omar Nelson Bradley is indeed planning a counterattack. Although the air fleet led by Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey is not commanded by him, the commander of the Sicily War Zone. Because Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey is the commander of this war zone.
But Lieutenant General Omar Nelson Bradley is sure that his offensive plan will be recognized by Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey. Although there are differences in some views between them, for example, from the perspective of a politician, Lieutenant General Omar Nelson Bradley is sure that his views will definitely not be consistent with him. Even this Lieutenant General of the Army will be similar to Patton's views.
But that doesn't matter. As long as he is a person who refuses to give in and likes to fight and chase victory, he will agree with his plan and will also send enough fleets to support the attack.
"Sir!"
When communicating with Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey, Omar Nelson Bradley played a trick. He did not call the other party's military rank, but the other party's commander. After all, the other party was the highest commander of the Allied Forces in the Mediterranean War Zone. He was naturally his subordinates, although in terms of military rank, the two were at the same level.
In fact, if it were not for the boycott of his place when dealing with soldiers related to the "Chinese Hall" this time, he would have been promoted to general as the first general in the US Navy to lead air fleets and achieve brilliant results. He had been promoted to general only to deal with his "boycott incident" that the application of Admiral Chester William Nimitz turned into the restoration of the rank of lieutenant general.
As for letting him go to the Mediterranean, this was a strategy that was already decided. After all, there was no need for another naval admiral to assist him. The transfer of him to the Mediterranean war zone reflects the spirit of cooperation of the allies. At the same time, the idea at that time was to cooperate with Patton and equip the US Navy's latest air warship system to solve the problems of the entire Italy in a short period of time.
So now, although he was transferred to him as planned, his military rank was at the same level as other generals, which was a big and small trouble.
