Magic Underachiever

When he saw the plane, Marquis Whitehead immediately thought of its military role. But imagination is imagination. After he really saw the change of the entire war mode by the plane, he realized that he had greatly underestimated the impact of this new air combat weapon on the war situation.

The Imperial Border Army was chased by the Parliament Army like a duck being chased. If it weren't for the fact that the Parliament Army had been established for a short time, had not experienced actual combat, and had insufficient military literacy from top to bottom, coupled with the excessive deployment of aircraft, which caused logistics problems. The Imperial Border Army had been surrounded by the Parliament Army and finally annihilated.

Although the Imperial Army has withdrawn most of the Border Army's troops, no one is optimistic about the next war. They believe that the Parliament Army's aircraft cannot be suppressed, and the Empire's military forces will soon be bombed and lose the confidence to continue fighting.

The Imperial Army needs its own aircraft, and the only company that can produce aircraft is Blackfire.

This visit by Marquis Whitehead was to buy the aircraft of Blackfire Company. However, after the Marquis told him his intention, Daliang refused very straightforwardly: "I'm sorry, Marquis! I have an agreement with the Marcellus Council that within one year after the outbreak of the war, Blackfire Airlines will not sell aircraft publicly. In addition, the production capacity of my aircraft manufacturing plant is still increasing, and the order from the Council has made my factory work day and night."

Daliang was right. The Marcellus Council, which had already tasted the sweetness of aircraft, added another batch of aircraft orders. They were ready to wipe out the imperial army in the country in the shortest time, and then Marcellus could gain true independence.

The aircraft manufacturing plant of Blackfire Airlines was really working day and night. Daliang, who had a full pocket, offered high overtime bonuses, allowing workers to willingly and happily contribute their labor.

The arms business was indeed the most profitable, especially the arms business during the war. It is conceivable that after the aircraft made its stunning debut in the Marcellus War, what kind of impact would it have on the world's arms business? It is estimated that the Black Fire Company will officially sell aircraft to the outside world in a year, and the orders will probably overwhelm Daliang.

However, Marquis Whitehead could not wait for a year. He said: "Without a way to restrain the parliamentary army's aircraft, the Empire will be completely defeated in Marcellus within a year. And I... I am definitely not the opponent of the parliamentary army at that time.

Don't you want Marcellus? Then sell the aircraft to the Empire."

Daliang insisted: "My Lord Marquis, I am a creditable businessman. I promised Peters that I would not sell aircraft to the outside world for a year, and I would not violate the contract.

In fact, aircraft are not difficult to deal with as long as you find the right way."

Marquis Whitehead immediately asked: "Is there any way to suppress the parliament's aircraft?"

Daliang replied: "The aircraft is an air combat weapon with very obvious advantages and weaknesses. It has a very strong offensive capability, but it is extremely fragile. As long as it can be hit, it can be easily destroyed. It destroys.

If the Empire wants to deal with airplanes, first of all, it should not be afraid of them. The Empire has more silver wings than the Parliament Army. As long as the Empire Army can allocate a certain number of silver wings, it can limit the performance of the airplanes. "

Using the advantage of silver wings to limit the Parliament Army's airplanes was originally one of the plans formulated by the Empire Army, but... the Marquis said: "The Parliament Army also has silver wings, and the silver wings of the Empire Border Army need to be dispersed to various defense zones. When the Parliament Army's silver wing escort aircraft group launches an attack from a certain battlefield, it will be too late for us to transfer silver wings from other war zones.

The main reason is that there are too many planes of the Parliament Army. They attack everywhere and make our silver wings exhausted. "

Now the Empire Army is passively defending, and there is no way to organize an attack after losing the battle on the border line, so the silver wings are dispersed. Due to the pressure caused by the Parliament Army's airplanes, the Empire Army increased the frequency of silver wing air duty, making the silver wing pilots very tired and unable to recover their magic in time.

Then it's time for Da Liang to promote.

"Then the Empire needs equipment that can detect the direction of the attack of the parliamentary army's aircraft in advance." Da Liang snapped his fingers, and the captain of the attendants, Sophia, spread a blueprint on the table in front of the two. Da Liang pointed to the blueprint and said to the Marquis: "This is the air warning equipment developed by the Black Fire Company for aircraft...including all flying objects in the air. I call it radar.

The principle of radar is to continuously transmit electromagnetic wave signals to the sky. When a flying object appears in the sky, the electromagnetic wave will be reflected back and received by the radar receiver. Then, according to the characteristics of the received electromagnetic wave, the size, flight speed, flight altitude and many other data of the target can be calculated.

We can use this to determine whether the object discovered is a flying bird, an airplane, or a silver wing."

At present, the military forces of all parties on the Order Star have no effective means to detect flying objects in the air in advance. They are more likely to send forward observers to observe the air, or send silver wings and airships to cruise. But the efficiency of these detection methods is too low. It is difficult to provide long-range warnings for incoming air targets, and the probability of not being able to make timely warnings is very high.

If there is all-weather and all-round monitoring of aerial targets, the Imperial Army will be able to detect the incoming parliamentary fleet early, and then calmly dispatch Silver Wings from various defense zones to intercept them. Moreover, with this full-time early warning equipment, the patrol time of the Silver Wing can be reduced, allowing the Silver Wing pilots to rest, which can also greatly increase the Imperial Army's air power when a battle breaks out.

The Marquis knew that this was a trap that Young Master Liang had prepared long ago, but he still asked eagerly: "How far away can your radar detect and warn of targets in advance?"

"I have already made a batch of radar test aircraft. After repeated tests, it can accurately detect flying objects at a distance of 150 kilometers. In the range of 120 kilometers to 150 kilometers, it can be judged whether the detected target is an aircraft and its size.

If used together, the detection distance will be longer.

It is enough to provide the Empire with 15 to 20 minutes of early warning time. The Imperial Army can set up an anti-aircraft firepower network in the direction of the aircraft in advance, allowing Silver Wing to take off in advance to occupy a favorable position, and support from other defense zones can also arrive faster.

If used properly, you can unexpectedly carry out large-scale annihilation operations against the Parliamentary Army fleet."

Since the appearance of the aircraft, it has been the sharp spear of the attacking party, and the invention of radar is a shield against the aircraft. The competition between aircraft and radar has never stopped...

Da Liang gave the Parliamentary Army aircraft, and this time he wants to give the radar to the Empire.

The Marquis took a look at the blueprint and said, "I want all of the radars from Blackfire Company!"
