"Oh my god! I'm really flying!" The test pilot was also very excited.
Fortunately, he had not forgotten his mission.
The test pilot piloted the plane toward the shooting range not far away.
"Da da!"
When the test pilot pressed the launch button, the 12.7mm aerial machine gun at the nose of the plane began to fire fiercely, firing rows of dense tracers.
The target standing on the shooting range was hit by wood shavings.
"Oh my god! The plane was firing, firing with machine guns. However, wasn't there a propeller installed at the nose of the plane? Why didn't the bullet hit the propeller?”General Little Foggy was shocked.
The other military bigwigs were also surprised by this question.
Liu Chuan smiled and said," We've installed a shooting coordination device to ensure that the bullets are fired through the gap between the propellers. They won't hit the propellers!"”
This problem had existed for a long time in another time and space, and it had severely restricted the development of airplanes.
However, as a transmigrator, it was naturally very easy for Liu Chuan to solve this problem.
The military bigwigs nodded their heads. They seemed to understand this question. However, it was fine as long as he knew that this problem had been solved.
"Your Majesty, the aircraft is equipped with machine guns that can attack ground targets. Didn't that mean that they could also throw bombs from airplanes?”Count Tirpitz asked.
" Yes," Liu Chuan nodded." At the moment, this plane is only a prototype." Furthermore, it was a fighter jet. As the name suggested, the main responsibility of fighter jets was to fight with the planes of other countries and seize air superiority. Attacking the ground targets and personnel was just a side effect. Next, the aircraft manufacturing plant would make further improvements to enhance the speed and range of the aircraft, so that it could truly be put into actual combat.
"In addition, we will also study bomber aircraft, which can be converted to carry bombs and bomb ground targets. Think about it. If the Imperium sends dozens or even hundreds of airplanes carrying bombs weighing hundreds of tons to drop on the enemy's head, what will it be like? What a huge blow it would cause to the enemy!”
The military bigwigs present shuddered at the thought of this.
The current war was mainly a flat war. Whether it was fighting on the ground or on the sea, they were fighting on the same plane.
However, if they used airplanes on a large scale and launched an attack from the sky. That would undoubtedly be equivalent to expanding the war to the sky. The war would also evolve from a two-dimensional war to a three-dimensional war.
"With the advancement of technology, we can even develop a heavy bomber that can carry several tons of bombs and have a range of two to three thousand kilometers. In that case, we can deploy a large number of heavy bomber planes to bomb the enemy's important cities, industrial bases, transportation nodes, and military assembly points in the hinterland. This would deal a huge blow to the enemy's war potential. As a result, the enemy's military production and mobilization were paralyzed. If we want to win the war, it will be even easier!”Liu Chuan continued.
The military bigwigs were clearly shocked by the scene Liu Chuan described.
They had never expected that this inconspicuous toy-like thing would actually have such great power.
However, they knew very well that it would take a long time to realize what Liu Chuan had said. They still needed to make further progress in technology.
However, this was undoubtedly the future direction of aircraft development, and it also allowed the military leaders to see the future direction of development.
"Your Majesty, airplanes are definitely a new type of weapon. They will play an increasingly important role in future wars. Therefore, the dynasty should indeed invest more funds in development.”Admiral Little Foggy was the first to express his opinion.
General Vonfalkenhain, Count Tirpitz, and General Vonpole also echoed.
"In addition to attacking ground targets, the aircraft can also attack sea targets. Think about it. If the aircraft carried heavy armor-piercing bullets weighing hundreds of kilograms or even one ton, they would attack the warships on the sea from high altitude. Even battleships would not be able to withstand it. At the same time, the aircraft could also carry heavy aerial torpedoes to attack warships on the surface of the sea. Once a warship was approached by a plane and a torpedoes were dropped at a close distance, the warship would also be unable to resist.”Liu Chuan continued.
Count Tirpitz and General Vonpole's eyes lit up.
Without a doubt, this was a new innovation for the navy of the Germanic Empire!
"We can even build aircraft carriers, which can be understood as a platform for aircraft to take off and land at sea. Although the aircraft carrier itself did not have much combat power, it could attack the enemy's warships by taking off the carrier aircraft. Release the carrier aircraft to launch an attack at a distance of more than 100 kilometers from the enemy and sink the enemy's warship!”Liu Chuan told them about another tactic of naval warfare.
Count Tirpitz and General Vonpole had already begun to look forward to that scene.
