Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Adams Teach is a veteran after all. Fang Lang's analysis did have a huge impact on his inherent concepts, but he knew very well that with a sharp spear, there must be a strong shield. Without

What weapons are indefensible?

Of course, the two big bombs dropped by the Americans in Japan are really disappointing, but with the advancement of science and technology, sooner or later, people will be able to find a way to defend against them.

Even if you are unable to defend yourself, you can still equip yourself with the same weapon. In this case, no one will dare to take action easily.

After listening to Fang Lang's answer, and taking two deep breaths to adjust, Adams Teach's mentality finally returned to normal, and his face became better.

"Intercept? Do you mean to use missiles to detonate the incoming missiles in advance? But the missiles must be very fast! How can we intercept them?"

Picking up the wine glass, Fang Lang took a sip with a smile and said with a smile:

"The speed of the missile is indeed very fast, even exceeding the speed of sound, but because the missiles are launched beyond visual range, the flight distance is generally relatively long, and this will give the defender a certain amount of time.

With the advancement of science and technology, our radar will inevitably become more and more powerful, and the detection distance and range will inevitably become larger and larger, and then combined with electronic computers with powerful computing capabilities.

As soon as the missile takes off, it calculates the opponent's flight trajectory and ballistics, and then sends these data to its own missile defense system, allowing its missiles to be launched directly at the incoming missile, detonating it in advance.

.

Of course, these are just some of my personal random thoughts. Whether it can be realized depends on whether science and technology can support it."

Adams Teach on the side felt a little crazy after hearing Fang Lang's description. After all, in his opinion, this was a bit science fiction.

However, after careful analysis, I feel that it is not impossible to achieve, but it will definitely require huge investment.

"I understand. From this point of view, missiles will indeed become the main weapon that dominates the future. Even aircraft carriers can only passively defend themselves if they are targeted by missiles.

In other words, in the future, our navy’s weapons and equipment will all revolve around launching and defending missiles.”

In fact, this tactical concept has not yet been fully formed, but because of Fang Lang's crossing, the Brazilian Navy realized in advance the important position of missiles in future wars.

In particular, although Adams Teach is still only the deputy chief of staff of the Navy Department, Fang Lang is ready to push him to the position of chief of staff.

With the full support of such a senior naval officer, a new faction like the aircraft carrier faction will gradually emerge in the navy to replace the battleship faction.

These are what Fang Lang is happy to see. After all, only if this faction grows rapidly can he get greater support from the military by developing his own missiles in the future.

Regarding Adams Teach's words, Fang Lang nodded affirmatively and gave the other party a positive answer:

"Yes, at least that's what I think."

"In other words, in the future we should focus on developing the three industries of missiles, radar and electronic computers, right? But these three aspects seem to be still blank in Brazil!"

Adams Teach looked at Fang Langdao with a confident face and a slight hesitation.

Fang Lang understood what the other party meant and said with a smile:

"Not everything is a blank. The electronic computer industry should be at the forefront of our country in Brazil now. As early as when I realized the direction of these future changes, I was already thinking of ways to fill these gaps.

As for the electronic computer industry, our laboratory in Brazil has successfully manufactured the first electronic computer, which is among the best in the world.

As for missiles and radar, I have been thinking of ways recently."

It has to be said that Adams Teach knows Fang Lang very well. He knows that this guy often runs around without missing a job. He originally thought that he was bored and doing business here and there.

But now it seems that this is obviously not the case. The other party has made so many contributions to Brazil's national defense without knowing it.

If anyone dares to say in front of him that Fang Lang is running around without doing his job properly in the future, he will give him a hard slap in the face.

I finally understood in my heart why the heads of the Navy and Defense Departments never made irresponsible remarks on Fang Lang's behavior.

After Adams Teach exhaled a long breath, he looked at Fang Langdao firmly:

"General Fang, please rest assured!

In the future, I will definitely implement your tactical thoughts with all my strength, stand unswervingly behind you, and build our navy into a truly world-class modern navy."

Fang Lang was stunned by the sudden expression of loyalty. For a moment, he didn't quite understand the other person's psychology, but he looked at the other person's serious expression.

Fang Lang could only show a satisfied smile and nodded to the other party.

"The progress of missile technology still needs a long process. Our ship manufacturing cannot stop and wait, but must proactively find breakthroughs.

Let me give you a suggestion. After the first-generation self-produced destroyer project is completed, our ship research and development direction can be appropriately tilted towards submarines.

World War II has truly proved that submarines are a very good weapon, and it is not too late for us to conduct research now."

Submarines have a long history, and Adams Teach has certainly known them for a long time. However, Brazil has only owned submarines for a relatively short time, and he has not actually come into contact with this weapon until now.

But it is not difficult to understand it, because all submarines in Brazil are now serving in Fang Lang's Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group. As long as he gets Fang Lang's consent, he can study it carefully at close range.

Although he has no actual contact with submarines, Adams Teach is very clear about how the Germans used submarines in World War II, and he also has a certain understanding of submarine tactics.

Originally, he had a certain understanding of the changes in future war methods after the emergence of missiles from Fang Lang, but he had not noticed the existence of submarines. Now when he heard Fang Lang mention it, his eyes lit up.

"That's right! Submarines are hidden underwater and can't be detected and locked by sea radar as easily as surface ships. They can also quietly ambush enemy ships and don't have to worry about being directly attacked by missiles."

After listening to Adams Teach's words, Fang Lang coughed twice and reminded the other party not to speak too fullly.

"Compared with surface ships, submarines do have their own advantages in stealth, but this does not mean that submarines can avoid missile attacks.

Missiles can fly in the air and can naturally travel through water. Once a submarine is locked in position, it is equally difficult to escape the precise attack from the missile.

Therefore, the most important thing in building a submarine is to improve its concealment. The hull should be as invisible as possible, reduce noise, and at the same time increase the strength of the hull so that it can dive deeper into the seabed.

It is also necessary to improve the underwater survival time of the submarine, minimize its floating, and avoid increasing the chance of being discovered by the enemy.

The most suitable power for submarines should be battery-driven, which can reduce the noise emitted by the submarine, reduce oxygen consumption, and increase the submarine's underwater maneuverability.

Nowadays, the main means for submarines to fight against enemy ships relies on sonar. If we want to improve the submarine's underwater confrontation capabilities, we must also find ways to develop more advanced sonar.

If we can achieve this, I think the performance of our submarines will definitely bring sufficient confidence to our coastal defense security."

After listening to Fang Lang's words, Adams Teach thought carefully for a long time before saying:

"I understand. Once I finish handling the work at hand, I will go to your naval fleet to learn more about the specific situation of the submarine.

If there is a need at that time, I think your submarine may also need to come to the shipyard to provide some reference for the designers."

Fang Lang was prepared for this situation and said without hesitation:

"Don't worry about this. If necessary, I will arrange for the submarines in the fleet to take turns to Fangyuan Shipyard for maintenance, giving the shipyard enough time to fully understand the submarines.

Also, I have the latest Type 21 submarine captured from the Germans. This submarine should be one of the most advanced submarines in the world.

I hope that our future submarines can be developed around this submarine."

The reason why Fang Lang mentioned these matters about the technical advantages and research and development of submarines to Adams Teach was mainly to get one more person in the Navy who understands his own ideas.

Avoid detours in the future when developing submarines.

As the boss of Fangyuan Group, he can of course convey his ideas directly to the designers at the shipyard and let them carry out design work according to his ideas.

But as the navy, which is the user of submarines, if it cannot understand these design ideas, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Fang Lang took this opportunity to instill his own concept of submarine construction into Adams Teach.

Hearing that Brazil now has one of the most advanced German submarines in the world, Adams Teach was of course full of surprise. He looked at Fang Lang and unconsciously became more admired. Unexpectedly, the other party was already silently working for the Brazilian Navy.

So much effort has gone into its construction.

He nodded seriously and looked at Fang Lang firmly:

"Don't worry, General Fang! I will never let your efforts go in vain. When the new submarine design comes out, I will definitely send it to you as soon as possible, and wait until you approve it before submitting it."

Fang Lang did not reject Adams Teach's words. This kind of thing was indeed very important to him. With his own vision of the future as a guide, he could at least tell whether the designed submarine was on the right track in terms of design concept.

on the trend.

Of course, Fang Lang did not mention to Adams Teach that submarines also play an important role, that is, they can be equipped with submarine-launched missiles loaded with large mushroom solitary bombs to carry out strategic nuclear deterrence against enemy countries.

It's not that Fang Lang doesn't want to own such a big killer, but it's too early to say this now. It's best for him to adjust his development direction according to future changes in the situation and determine whether to start research and development of these equipment in the future.

At the same time, if there is a spear, there must be a shield. When Fang Lang reminded Adams Teach to tilt the direction of ship development towards submarines, he also began to think about the means of fighting submarines, that is, how to fight against submarines.

The sonar equipped on current destroyers alone is obviously not enough, so what will be the most important anti-submarine means for the navy in the future?

The first figures that appeared in Fang Lang's mind were the large helicopter platforms behind the large destroyers and those domineering anti-submarine helicopters.

So what did they use for anti-submarine warfare? It definitely couldn’t be with the naked eye. Well! Fishermen back home often salvage sonar buoys and sell them for money.

In addition to using radar to scan the sea surface, larger anti-submarine aircraft also use sonobuoys to conduct anti-submarine operations.

After thinking about this, Fang Lang became more determined to develop helicopters. The licensing agreement he has signed with Bell Aircraft Manufacturing Company can be regarded as a good start for future helicopter manufacturing.

Time passed slowly during the exchange between Fang Lang and Adams Teach. As the protagonist of the banquet, Fang Lang never went back since he left the banquet hall and came to the small balcony.

After the banquet, Fang Lang returned to the Natal Naval Base in a low-key manner.
