Chapter 207 Gladiator Fighter!
“Long life in England (
“Okay!” Li Er’s mouth cracked.
Once again business!
Next, Deguo placed a lot of orders.
Such as machine guns, artillery, ammunition, etc., as well as additional orders for submarines.
There were many orders, and it turned out to be another order of 30 million pounds.
“Mr. Li, our enemy has a new type of fighter jet, which will give us a major blow. If we want to develop a more advanced fighter jet, it will take time! I wonder if your Li’s Flight Manufacturing Company has any that can compete with the enemy. What kind of plane?” Emperor Tai asked Li Er.
“I don’t know what the performance of the fighter jets among your enemies is?” Li Er asked back, in fact, he was laughing inwardly.
Oh shit!
Your enemy’s plane was also bought from Lao Tzu’s side!
oops!
Think about it, how exciting!
Reselling on both sides.
“We haven’t captured any enemy fighter jets so far, but the speed of the enemy planes is very fast, almost twice as fast as us! Not only that, but the firepower is also much more violent than ours… A series of excellence has led us to It was very painful to be beaten.” A marshal said with a headache.
Without air supremacy, they would not dare to do any bombing missions.
On the contrary, the position on his side and the various things in the rear are bombed by the enemy’s bombers, which is simply annoying!
“Well, actually, we have another weapon that, to a certain extent, can restrain fighters and bombers!” Li Er said.
“Oh? What weapon?” De Huang and others were all curious.
They are now in great need of weapons that can fight aircraft, no matter what!
“It’s called Deshka 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun! It’s our latest anti-aircraft weapon! You can buy it and try it out. I believe that it should have a relatively large effect whether it is used for air defense or ground combat.” Li Erdao.
“Oh, then we have to see, let’s have a look in the afternoon! Now, I still want to hear, does your company have more advanced fighter jets?”
“Yes, of course, it just so happens that our company currently has a fighter with very good parameters and very powerful performance, it is called the Gladiator fighter!” Li Er said.
“Maximum speed 407 km/h, ceiling 10,060 meters, weapons: 4 7.7mm machine guns, range 689 kilometers!”
In fact, this aircraft in its previous life belonged to the leader in its class in the late 1930s. “Fighter” adopts a fully enclosed bubble canopy, which is quite rare in biplane fighters. Its engine power is 617.4 kilowatts, and it is equipped with four 7.7 mm machine guns. It is the model with the largest combat weight and stronger firepower among the contemporary fighters.
It is much stronger than the Fiat CR.32 fighter that Li Lin sold to England before!
First of all, the speed is about 40 kilometers per hour faster.
Of course, in terms of speed, it can be said that it is a little bit stronger.
But the climb ceiling for the Gladiator is more than 2000 meters higher.
However, in terms of firepower, the Gladiator fighter has 4 machine guns, while the Fiat CR.32 fighter has only 2 7.7mm caliber wing machine guns.
So in terms of firepower, it must be the more powerful gladiator fighter!
Half the firepower!
“Four machine guns?”
“Can the speed reach more than 400 kilometers per hour? My God, we used to buy your camel fighter, which is about 190 kilometers per hour, right?”
After seeing a group of people shocked, Li Er smiled slightly: “Yes! This is the second-generation fighter jet of our Li’s Aircraft Manufacturing Company! The speed is more than double the original one!”
“It is more flexible, climbs faster, and can perform a variety of tactics. It is definitely the nemesis of the original camel fighter!”
“I don’t know how much this fighter sells for?” Emperor Tai asked.
“A set of 36,000 pounds!” Li Er said.
“Can you get some discounts on the price?”
“If you buy 200 at once, I am willing to give you 35,000!” Li Er thought for a while.
“So little discount?” Emperor Tai was a little unhappy.
“Your Majesty, the profit of our aircraft is not high. If the price is reduced, we will have no money to make.”
After the two sides wrangled for a while, they finally negotiated.
“By the way, we also have a new type of bomber, do you want it?” Li Er continued.
“New bomber?”
Everyone’s eyes lit up again.
Bombers are also very important!
“Yes, our bomber is called the HS123 dive bomber! It is the world’s first dive bomber!”
“What is a dive bomber, um, like this, diving down, you can go faster and bomb more accurately!” Li Er made a dive with his palm.
Everyone was stunned when they heard it.
“Dive?”
“The Hs.123 is a light single-seat attack aircraft, dive bomber, with one engine and four pylons under the wings that can carry 450kg of bombs.”
“Unlike most biplanes, the Hs.123 has a solid all-metal structure, so it can dive bomb at an 80° angle. Since the aircraft does not have a special fork bomb rack, it can only dive through the wing pylons. Drop bombs. Usually a sub-fuel tank is mounted under the belly, which allows it to increase the range from 480 kilometers to 860 kilometers when two bombs are mounted. The Hs.123’s weapon has two 7.92mm synchronized machine guns. The The aircraft is equipped with a radio station, which is very advanced now, and the pilot can get in touch with the ground forces and conduct coordinated operations.”
“Hs.123 is equipped with an 880-horsepower radial piston engine~www.readmtl.com~ The maximum speed can reach 340 km/h and the ceiling is 9,000 meters.” Li Er introduced.
“My God, this speed is faster than the average fighter jet! In this case, they can all perform their missions alone without **** by fighter jets, unless they encounter the enemy’s most advanced fighter jets!” Someone said in astonishment.
“yes!”
In fact, due to the rapid development of aviation technology in the previous life of this aircraft, by the end of the 1930s, these data were already very common. The biplane was already considered a backward product at that time. But now in 1914, it is definitely a super product!
Ten years later, it will become common!
“Buy, we’re going to buy 300!”
“Okay, we’re selling one for £33,000!”
…
soon.
a few months later.
The battle on the ground between the two sides is still fierce.
However, the battle in the air was originally because the winning country lost its air superiority, but after importing 200 Gladiator fighters from Li Lin’s side, it suddenly became inseparable from the enemy’s side.
Especially the gladiator fighters are even better.
Even in the air battle on the side of the country, it also faintly suppressed the enemy’s side.
However, the British side is not to be outdone.
Their Fiat CR.32 fighter is not bad either.
Develop a variety of tactics, plus they have more pilots than the enemy, even if they are desperate, they will kill the enemy.
Both sides are fighting again and again!
Looking at the news, Li Lin felt a little emotional.
Today, dozens of pilots have fallen somewhere.
Tomorrow, hundreds of pilots will fall on the other side…
One day, the two sides agreed to suspend the air battle and rest for a week.
