Mirage North Island is the military base of the Tang Empire. A huge wall divides the inside and outside into two worlds. The inside world is called the Datang Empire Military Zone, and the outside world is called the Goblin Autonomous Region.
Outside is a cluster of low old houses, the bumpy streets are filled with goods, and all kinds of dilapidated cars are parked.
Inside are high-rise buildings, bustling lights, smooth streets, and various military vehicles, barracks, and airports.
The construction team's rollers are consolidating the foundation of the runway over and over again. The Tang Empire just expanded the oil depot here a few months ago, which increased the oil reserves here to an exaggerated figure.
In addition, the ammunition depot and aircraft maintenance factory here are also expanding in size, but they have always been carried out quietly.
Now, it's finally the runway's turn. The surrounding high walls cut off the goblins' sight, and the progress of the construction inside is completely invisible from the outside.
Even though there are goblin high-rises outside, the high-rise buildings inside the military base block many views. These high-rise buildings are family areas, and they are the houses where the families of the officers and soldiers of the Tang Empire stationed in the North Island Military Special Zone live.
It is more like a hotel than a home. These family members can come here to visit relatives and live nearby when the soldiers and officers are stationed here. Once these soldiers retire or are deployed and leave, these people also have to hand over their rooms and return them.
Just like a city, the military zone has its own shopping malls, its own entertainment facilities, its own schools, and its own communities...
Compared with the military base of the Lighthouse Kingdom in the Neon Kingdom, the Tang Empire was more arrogant and domineering: the Tang Army even had its own field area here: no mirage buildings were allowed in this area, and no mirage buildings were allowed in this area.
Allow mirages to enter.
Once a goblin from the Mirage Kingdom is found crossing the border here, the patrol troops of the Tang Empire have the right to kill them. Everyone knows that this clause is a bit excessive, but that was what the Mirage Kingdom agreed to when it begged for surrender, wasn't it?
"The construction progress cannot be any faster. We have to avoid raising dust, and we must not let people find out that we are rushing to work." The commander of the engineering unit in charge of the construction explained to Feng Kezhi, the commander-in-chief of the 9th Group Army who came here to visit.
He pointed to the runway in the distance and continued: "In order to allow large transport aircraft to take off and land, the runway was extended by 350 meters."
This distance is already very long, and the purpose is to allow the Yinglong fighter jets and H-6 fighters, which are fully loaded with fuel and ammunition, to fly.
When the aircraft is fully loaded, it cannot do any short take-off and landing. It has to glide long distances to gain enough speed and lift before it can gradually fly.
After all, today's aircraft can easily weigh dozens of tons, or even hundreds of tons, and according to the past, they are typically flying with huge power.
"The terminal is also being renovated...the throughput will be increased five times...this will ensure the supply of ammunition and oil." After finishing speaking, the commander of the engineering Corps pointed to the distant port area.
Feng Kezhi nodded. There is no problem with the construction progress here. Everything is according to plan. With the continuous improvement of facilities, the scale of this military base has also become very large.
When necessary, tens of thousands of soldiers can be stationed here, including armored units, anti-aircraft missile units and other arms. There is even room for an entire brigade of Scud missile units.
However, there are also many problems here, such as distance. Feng Kezhi is not worried about any problems with his base itself, but it is indeed a bit too far from the planned landing area.
"We don't have escort fighters that far away. At a distance of close to 1,000 kilometers, the J-7 cannot provide full escort for the H-6." Feng Kezhi knew how far the air force could cover. In fact, the J-7 of the Tang Army stationed on the South Island
It can no longer cover the Tang Army military base on North Island.
There is no way, short legs are short legs. This attribute is destined from the design stage and cannot be changed.
After all, the J-7 was born out of Mao Xiong's MiG-21 fighter. This type of fighter is classified as a "frontline fighter" by Mao Xiong. It focuses on being cheap and high-yield, and does not follow the path of elite soldiers. Coarse grains from the north,
I'm afraid I won't be able to become fine chaff in this life.
Even if he is changed to Seventeenth Brother by the devil, his short legs will still be short legs. No matter how good he can play, he will still be a short bridge in Yongchun, and he will not be able to play big open and close.
"It doesn't matter, general, we can solve the air force problems ourselves. You just need to determine the landing plan of the 9th Army." Standing next to Feng Kezhi was Xiao Yun, deputy commander of the Tang Air Force. As soon as he spoke, Feng Kezhi said
I heard the meaning.
The Air Force must have new fighter jets, and their range is estimated to be very long. They can accompany the H-6 all the way...or at least protect the H-6 in the steel barrier area.
Good guy, a fighter with a combat radius of more than 1,200 kilometers? The J-7 may not be able to fly that far without missiles and auxiliary fuel tanks, right?
No wonder the length of the airport runway needs to be increased. It may be because the new fighter jets have a longer take-off distance, so the expansion is rushed.
"Now that you are sure, it will be much easier for me here. The fortifications here are very strong, and the pressure on the 9th Army is already great." Feng Kezhi looked at Xiao Yun with a smile. He was very interested in this young Imperial Air Force.
The admiral was still full of respect.
No kidding at all, the Air Force is a technical branch, and Xiao Yun is also a technical officer. He was a pilot and knew first-line pilots. He also had a small meal with His Majesty the Emperor and studied alone.
Such talents are among the best in the military. There is even a saying that these people are the "reserves" of the future and may become "substitutes" for the Imperial Marshal.
It would be a lie to say that he is not envious. In fact, Feng Kezhi really wanted to become the Marshal of the Empire. He envied the Marshal's scepter when he looked at it. Unfortunately, his status as a fallen general held him back somewhat.
"The Air Force has equipped the H-6 with a new bomb that can penetrate complex soil ground with a thickness of more than 30 meters, or concrete fortifications with a thickness of more than 15 meters." Xiao Yun said to Feng Kezhi: "We can
After the war begins, suppress the dwarven defenses along the coast."
Of course, it was impossible for the Tang Empire to be completely unprepared and watch helplessly as various countries built various fortifications on their coastlines.
Tang Mo immediately started mass-producing ground-penetrating bombs, preparing to use this method to destroy the defenses along the coasts of various countries. The Datang Empire had already detected the coordinates of those fixed targets. Attacking these immovable buildings would be of great help to the Tang Dynasty.
For the Imperial Air Force, this is as easy as pie!
