1123 air defense, anti-submarine, anti-ship!

In fact, many factories in the Tang Empire are already very busy. They are working hard to produce various orders from all over the world.

The Tang Empire sold more than 4,000 various propeller fighters to foreign countries. Most of these aircraft were assembled in the Datang Empire and then transported to all parts of the world via sea.

These include Spitfire fighter jets, TA-152 fighter jets, Yak fighter jets, and Mustang fighter jets... These aircraft have brought hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to the Tang Empire.

In addition, there are actually a large number of aircraft of various types also being produced: that is, various types of attack aircraft to be used on aircraft carriers.

Although the Zero fighter had a poor record in the hands of Mirage, it was just a Zero fighter. The 99 Ship Explosion and 97 Ship Attack designed and produced in World War II were good things that might be snapped up by many countries in the future.

In addition, the Tang Empire used its own carrier-based Stukas, carrier-based pirate fighters, as well as American carrier-based Dauntless dive bombers, Avengers carrier-based torpedo attack aircraft... and even the not-so-advanced, but very practical F6F

Carrier-based fighter jets...

Datang Group is accelerating the production of these aircraft, because countless countries will definitely purchase them in the future! After all, the world has no experience in carrier-based aircraft.

The Tang Empire directly used mature aircraft carrier designs and equipped its navy with pirate fighters, which virtually raised the entry threshold for carrier-based aircraft and aircraft carriers.

The navies of various countries do not like things like the Swordfish attack aircraft and early carrier-based aircraft. They urgently need a powerful carrier-based aircraft that can provide protection for their navies, as well as a mature aircraft that can take off such aircraft.

aircraft carrier.

Therefore, it is impossible for the garbage in the early exploration stage to appear slowly according to the historical process. In this case, the navies of all countries in the world can only accept the technological poverty alleviation provided by the Datang Empire.

Want to do it yourself? It is almost impossible: subsequent developments also proved the judgment of the engineering and technical personnel of the Tang Empire. Countries around the world began to put forward requirements for purchasing some carrier-based aircraft.

It is really not an easy task to produce thousands of aircraft at once: think about propeller aircraft. If it is a more complex jet aircraft, it is not easy to increase the annual production to two to three hundred aircraft.

Already.

In fact, what is shocking is that while the Tang Empire accelerated the production of thousands of propeller aircraft, it was also producing a large number of helicopters and civilian aircraft. This terrifying production capacity was the real reason why the Tang Empire was invincible.

The Tang Empire is building a Boeing aircraft manufacturing factory in another world: Tang Mo plans to produce about 500 aircraft per year, and then launch Cyric as an Airbus to compete with Boeing.

The two companies will bring huge profits to Tang Mo every year, and they will also monopolize the entire aircraft market, so that all jetliners around the world will be produced by companies controlled by Tang Mo.

In order to pave the way for Cyric in advance, Tang Mo has handed over the related technologies of the 97 Ship Attack and 99 Ship Explosion aircraft to Cyric, allowing the Cyric Consortium to provide them to the world.

In this way, they will leave a good "airline" impression to countries around the world and recognize that they have certain aviation technology.

On the other hand, the Tang Empire has been continuously launching various artificial satellites with various capabilities recently. The advancement of communication technology has allowed these satellites to transmit back some information without returning to the ground.

Tang Mo is rushing to build a complete satellite system to establish a GPS system to make his missiles more accurate and keep his map always on.

Unfortunately, the technology of this system is not yet mature. At least Tang Mo's current computer is still about the same size as a refrigerator. Everything needs to continue to be accumulated and developed.

Although the Tang Empire was unwilling to sell RPG rocket launchers in order to maintain the quality advantage of its armored forces, similar technologies spread.

Almost overnight, countries around the world came up with similar weapons of their own: some were similar to Germany's Panzerfaust rocket launcher, and some were more like bazookas.

No matter which path they take, all countries have researched and developed this kind of low-tech weapon. As for the effect, I really don’t know.

After all, to put it bluntly, this thing is just an "armor-breaking bomb" plus a rocket propulsion. The difference is only in efficiency. Anyone who can copy it will understand the principle.

It is completely different from jet engines and submarine technology. It can be copied. As long as you can get samples, everyone will come up with similar things.

However, it is completely impossible to develop anti-tank missiles with this kind of rocket launcher, because the instruction set is another set of knowledge, which is difficult to plagiarize.

It is precisely because of this that no country in the world can figure out the mystery of the Styx anti-ship missile used by the Tang Dynasty Navy destroyer Da Po Mirage's main fleet.

There is no "reference object" for plagiarism, and there is no corresponding technology development technology tree, so there is no way to copy it. This is in sharp contrast to the rocket launcher, and it also explains well why RPGs still have AK.

Become a weapon for the poor.

Some gadgets are really cheap, easy to manufacture, and don't have much technical content, so they tend to become the weapons of choice in backward areas.

As for those valuable weapon systems, repairmen in backward areas cannot understand them. There is no way to replenish parts, and they cannot be used no matter how good their performance is...

Another very popular weapon is torpedoes: because anti-ship missiles are not for sale, torpedoes have become the weapon of choice for various countries to use small things to make big gains.

In the past, the destroyers of these countries did not have the ability to leapfrog and defeat monsters. They had no way to deal with cruisers and battleships. If they could not defeat them, they could not defeat them. Now, these destroyers finally have the ability to fight to the death, which has greatly improved the situation of all countries in the world.

Combat capabilities of small battleships.

With torpedoes, their destroyers and cruisers can finally fight independently. At the same time, these battleships finally have a clear meaning of existence!

In the past, these small warships only existed as cheap supplements to large warships. They patrolled on weekdays and hid and pretended to be dead when there was a war. In fact, the price/performance ratio was not very high, and they were reluctant to give up.

Now, these small warships finally have their actual combat role. They can serve as the vanguard of the fleet in war, and can also defend the port. The price-performance ratio is simply amazing!

At the same time, along with the sale of submarines came sonar systems. Only after this was placed in front of engineers around the world did they realize that submarines have ears!

This system made everyone suddenly realize, and it also gave many people an enlightenment: Since submarines can rely on sonar to avoid patrols by warships on the water, can warships on the water also rely on this thing to hunt down submarines?

Ever since, the anti-submarine destroyer was born: this was a brand new field, and all countries began to invest crazily, and a new round of naval arms race began.

We are all smart people. As long as we have ideas and technology, a set of supporting solutions that seem to be the cheapest will be released: they are similar all over the world, and everyone thinks of going together.

The Navy's requirements for new destroyers are very unified: first, the destroyer must have anti-submarine capabilities. This was not available in the past, but now it is supported, so it must have anti-submarine capabilities! Secondly, the destroyer must have torpedo warfare capabilities. This is what destroyers have to do.

Of course, it must have a trump card! Finally, the new destroyer must further increase its air defense capability to protect its important warships from the opponent's aviation power.

Everything is obvious: with the emergence of the aircraft carrier concept, the air defense pressure of water fleets is no longer limited to coastal areas. Even on the vast ocean, the threat from aircraft is increasing day by day.

Therefore, the fleet must have stronger air defense capabilities, the ability to fight to the death with enemy fleets, and the ability to prevent sneak attacks by enemy submarines...

Air defense, anti-submarine, and anti-ship! Yes, the most original three major requirements for fleet destroyers were put forward at this time.

Therefore, the tonnage of the new destroyer should be around 3,000 tons to 4,000 tons, have certain ocean combat capabilities, must be fast, and be able to fight independently or follow aircraft carriers and battleships.

A larger hull, about the same size as a light cruiser, can accommodate more advanced equipment: including the newly emerged depth bomb technology, anti-submarine rocket technology, sonar technology, torpedo technology...

At the same time, this battleship must be equipped with more anti-aircraft guns so that it can protect itself and the battleships or aircraft carriers around it.

Some smarter and more active people even thought of installing radars on battleships to provide early warning to the fleet.

To be honest, as the Tang Empire sold radar, torpedoes, sonar and other technologies, the design ideas of destroyers and cruisers, engineers from all over the world are already very similar to their counterparts on Earth during World War II.

Anyway, they put forward the design requirements, and the Tang Empire provided technical components. After a lot of stacking up, the new destroyers or light cruisers that have been designed in the past few days have very similar technical indicators, and even the basic appearance is silly.

Can't tell clearly.

But no one knows that at the same time, the destroyers produced by the Imperial Navy of the Tang Dynasty were all missile destroyers. They were all equipped with Styx anti-ship missiles, equipped with similar Tatar air defense missiles... their sustained combat capabilities were average, but

The combat power is fully increased in a short period of time.

Many weapon systems of the Tang Empire are being updated, and countries around the world are also updating their equipment. For a while, everyone seems to have forgotten that there seems to be another war in the far north of the Endless Sea, near the Mirage... It has not been fought yet

It’s over.

The update will be late, you can watch it tomorrow morning.

In addition, Long Ling has updated 4 chapters in June, so in fact, as of now, including taking leave the day before yesterday, I still owe you 18 chapters... I have made up a little bit... Well, it's really just a little bit.
