This time, the Crown Prince Wang Zirui went to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, not to go to Tianjin to take a cruise or warship, but to take a plane directly from Nanyuan Airport! The accompanying personnel, including Foreign Minister Gu Weijun and other personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, totaled more than ten people!

The aircraft provided by the Air Force is a modified passenger aircraft of the Y4 transport aircraft. The Y4 transport aircraft is the fourth transport aircraft developed by the Chinese Air Force and is also the current main transport aircraft of the Chinese Air Force. All the airborne troops used by the Chinese Air Force are Y4.

Transporter.

Y4 transport aircraft is 19.43 meters long, wingspan is 29.11 meters, height is 5.18 meters, wingspan area is 91.7 square meters, empty weight is 8,200 kg, load capacity is 11,000 kg, maximum take-off weight is 13,500 kg, powered by two 1,200 horsepower engines, and cruising speed is 140

The festival, that is, 260 kilometers per hour, the maximum speed is 195 kilometers per hour, the voyage is 2,800 kilometers per hour, and the practical ceiling is 8,000 meters! The members are March, and can carry up to 25 people! Generally speaking, one

A Y4 transport aircraft can carry all personnel and equipment of a half-infantry squad of the airborne troops!

The Air Force also developed a long-range bomber based on the Y4 transport aircraft, with a bomb load of up to three tons and a combat radius of up to 1,500 kilometers. It has become the main equipment of the Chinese Air Force!

At 9:15 a.m., the Y4 transport aircraft numbered 1558 took off from Nanyuan Airport first, and several Air Force F9 Lightning Heavy Fighters took off later, and they will provide protection for the transport aircraft.

The F10 Lightning Heavy Fighter is a reliable long-range fighter developed by the Chinese Air Force in recent years. The F10 Lightning Heavy Fighter is 11.53 meters long, with a wingspan of 15.85 meters, a height of 3 meters, and a wingspan area of ​​30.43 square meters.

Weighing 5.1 tons, loading capacity 7.3 tons, and maximum take-off weight 9.4 tons. Powered by two 1200 horsepower engines, the maximum speed is 520 kilometers per hour, the combat radius is 800 kilometers, the maximum range is 2200 kilometers, and the usage ceiling is 10,000 yuan.

1 kilometer! Although this heavy fighter has poor fighting performance compared to that of light fighter, it has thick skin and flesh, and has a climbing performance of 800 meters per minute. It has strong firepower. The nose is equipped with a 20mm machine gun and is equipped with 200 ammunition.

There are 4 12.7mm aviation machine guns on the wings, with 600 rounds of ammunition installed! The Chinese Air Force equipped this heavy fighter, with the main purpose of escorting the fighter jets that carry out strategic bombing! Within the combat radius of 800 kilometers, from China

Departing from the English Channel or the Mediterranean military base is enough to include important industrial bases in southern and western Germany! If you carry a large secondary fuel tank, the combat radius can be increased to 1,000 kilometers, which is enough to bring most important cities in Germany.

Included within the combat radius!

In terms of comfort, it is obviously impossible to compare with the cruise ship! Although the Air Force has made many improvements in this transport plane, such as adding soft seats. However, when the plane takes off and after the takeoff,

The violent shaking still made the rider very uncomfortable. Even the prince Wang Zirui's face turned a little pale. If he gave him another plan to choose, he might change his words and say he would take a warship to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The accompanying foreign affairs

Minister Gu Weijun has already turned pale!

After an hour, the nervousness of the people who were on the plane eased! Although the plane was still shaking from time to time, overall, there was no danger, so everyone was relieved! Because this time it was

When taking a plane, most of the entourage sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are young people, and everyone has a stronger ability to withstand it!

Foreign Minister Gu Weijun is the youngest cabinet minister in the imperial cabinet. He is only 30 years old this year! However, he performed very well in his process as an envoy to foreign countries. Therefore, he was promoted to Foreign Minister! At the beginning,

Many people think that he is not qualified enough to be qualified for this position! But from the past two years, his performance is still very good! At the beginning, although Tang Shaoyi became the Prime Minister of the Empire, he still served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Gu Weijunyi

He was the deputy minister in charge of the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was not until last year that Tang Shaoyi stepped down as Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Gu Weijun served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs!

"Your Highness, this time I am a blessing for you. I have also taken a military transport plane!" Gu Weijun said with a smile, but his face was still a little unnatural! As a literati, his experience just now has made him very

Being nervous!

"Haha, Lord Gu, when the performance of the plane is better in the future, the comfort will definitely improve! At that time, the plane will become our daily means of transportation, and everyone will get used to it!" Crown Prince Wang Zirui said with a smile. The Emperor of the Empire

Wang Yuze once told him a lot of future development directions of aircraft, and Wang Zirui naturally believed it!

Gu Weijun smiled helplessly. If the comfort of the plane was still like this, he would never dare to take it anymore!

The maximum voyage of the Y4 transport aircraft is 2,800 kilometers, but the maximum voyage of the F10 Lightning heavy fighter aircraft is only 2,200 kilometers! Therefore, this time, you have to refuel several times along the way from Beijing to Sicily! Through Xinjiang,

It took two days to fly to Sicily, Central Asia, Middle East, and Egypt! Although it was a plane, it also made people, including the Crown Prince Wang Zirui, feel like they were disbanded! The plane was in Sicily

After the smooth landing of Catania on the island, everyone who took the plane for the first time had a thankful feeling!

General Wu Zhiyuan, commander of the Third Fleet of the Chinese Navy, Lieutenant General Lin Jianwu, Chief of Staff, and Lin Yi, Governor of Mediterranean Province, went to the airport to welcome the imperial crown prince Wang Zirui and Foreign Minister Gu Weijun and his group!

"See Your Highness!" After Wang Zirui, who had a pale face, walked out of the cabin, everyone hurriedly greeted him!

"Everyone, please don't give me a gift!" Wang Zirui cheered up and said with a smile. The Foreign Minister Gu Weijun, who was following him, still had his legs trembling a little! This time the voyage was definitely a lifelong life for him.

Unforgettable experience!

Perhaps because we knew that Wang Zirui and his party had already been tired of traveling, we did not delay much at the airport, but took a car to the Third Fleet Command in Catania!

The Third Fleet of the Chinese Navy includes four aircraft carrier battle groups and a special mixed fleet consisting of 6 battleships. It has nearly 200 large and small warships, and is one of the three major fleets of the Chinese Navy! Their main responsibility,

It is to ensure the interests of the empire on the Mediterranean coast and to plan the naval forces of the Mediterranean coast! For example, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and Spain! However, except for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, these countries have relatively strong naval strength.

Weakness is not enough to pose a threat to the Third Fleet of the Chinese Navy! The main task of the Third Fleet is actually to leave the Strait of Gibraltar after the outbreak of the war and cooperate with the Second Fleet to eliminate the main force of the German Navy!

That night, General Wu Zhiyuan, the commander of the Third Fleet, had a welcome dinner for the Crown Prince Wang Zirui. Not only were the important generals of the Third Fleet attended, but also the senior officials of the Mediterranean Province government also participated! After a long rest,

Wang Zirui's complexion has improved a lot, and we have had a good conversation with everyone. In the following days, Wang Zirui was not in a hurry to Vienna, but traveled on Sicily for a few days. It can be regarded as the third time in the navy in the place of Emperor Wang Yuze.

An inspection of the fleet and the Mediterranean province!

Sicily is the first island seized by the Chinese Navy in the Mediterranean Sea. Together with many islands in the Mediterranean Sea, it forms the Mediterranean Province. The entire Mediterranean Province has a small area and a small population. From domestic immigrants to the Mediterranean Province

There are less than 500,000 people on the island in total! It is far away from the empire's land, and if war breaks out, it will become the front line of battle! Therefore, not only the people of the empire are unwilling to immigrate here, but the imperial government in terms of immigration,

Many restrictions have been made! Many residents of the Mediterranean Province are family members of the army.

In addition to two hundred warships of all sizes in the Mediterranean, the Chinese Navy's Third Fleet also includes an aviation army of the Navy's Aviation Army and an aviation army stationed in the Mediterranean Province! The aviation army is an organization above the wing, each

The Air Force consists of 5 wings! There are a total of 600 aircraft! The Air Force of the Navy Aviation is mainly fighter jets of two wings, dive bombers of two wings and torpedo attack aircraft of one wing!

The air force is a wing light fighter, two wing heavy fighter and two wing long-range bomber! Once a war breaks out, they will undertake strategic bombing tasks against Germany! Of course, then

Many long-range fighters and long-range bombers will also be deployed on various islands in the Mediterranean Province to ensure a heavy blow to Germany from the air! Of course, those hostile countries along the Mediterranean coast are also within the range of the strike!

On behalf of the imperial emperor, Wang Zirui inspected the troops on Sicily and expressed royal condolences to them. At the same time, he met with the empire's immigrant representatives in the Mediterranean Province. Most of these immigrants from the country were able to live and work in peace here!

Three days later, on June 24, the Imperial Crown Prince Wang Zirui and Foreign Minister Gu Weijun set out from Sicily to the Austro-Hungarian Empire! It is still 8 days before the funeral of Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I, and many European countries have

The capital has arrived in Vienna. If they don't go, it will probably cause dissatisfaction among the Austro-Hungarian Empire! Fortunately, Sicily is not far from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and it only takes two days to ride a warship.
Chapter completed!
