Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

"ah!"

Just by glancing at the cover of the folder, Lao Cui's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a few points.

Today’s trip to Taiyuan was so magical. The experience in just a few hours was even more exciting than the past two years. The ancient county town in front of him had already been shrouded in mystery in his heart.

 It seems that the world’s cutting-edge technologies are gathered here.

 After a moment, the army general with a particularly long name took a deep breath, and then tentatively asked his allies:

 “Lei, is it a radar station?”

"If I remember correctly, this should be the first technology used by the British in warfare. You Huanghe are really powerful, and you can do both scientific research and social networking."

“By the way, is this technology licensed?”

During the Battle of Britain, Lao Cui had not yet been sent to work in the Republic of China by his superiors.

As a well-informed senior military officer and diplomat, he naturally knew about the high technology that had defeated the Sea Lion project and helped lead Britain to stabilize the country's high technology.

 In fact, there are corresponding engineering projects in the north, but due to technical reasons, the progress is relatively slow, and only a small-scale early warning radar has been developed.

Due to the limited radio transmission frequency, this half-baked radar has little room to play, and its monitoring effect is not even as good as that of a medium-sized reconnaissance aircraft.

 It is precisely because he understood the difficulty of research and development that Lao Cui believed that the Eighth Route Army's radar technology came from Dai Ying. After all, Huang He's areas of expertise were applied mathematics and aerodynamics.

Looking at the startled ally, Huang waved his hand to signal the other party to calm down, and then said confidently:

“Production license? Authorization? Why do you think I need that?”

"The level of British people is only average. If you really want to learn technology, you have to come to Taiyuan. Look at the two engineers who came with you. They haven't even stepped out of the airport yet."

“This radar is a product independently developed by our Eighth Route Army. Judging from the existing test results, its detection range is 50% larger than that of Daiying, and its accuracy and sensitivity are definitely far ahead.”

 In the early to mid-term of World War II, radio detection technology in various countries was still very immature. Its essence was to use the principle that pulse waves would be reflected when encountering metal objects.

When signal feedback occurs in a certain area, technicians at the radar station only need to calculate the time difference between emission and reflection to get the approximate distance between themselves and the target.

The effect of this kind of monitoring method is extremely simple and crude. The party with an intelligence advantage can often catch the enemy off guard and ultimately win with relatively small losses.

Our own side has opened the entire map, but the enemy's advance route is covered with the fog of war. How can the winning rate not be high?

While Lao Maozi had not yet recovered, Huang He continued to speak on his own:

“As for this technology, I personally think it is very useful for the north at this stage.”

"From the perspective of the hard power of both sides, there is still a big gap between the Red Star and the Iron Cross. If you can deploy radar stations in some key areas, it will definitely reduce the losses of the troops."

“If used properly, there is even a chance to create an air battle in which more people fight fewer people.”

After finishing speaking, Huang He took the time to open the system in his mind and focus on awakening Yong Hu’s scientific research slot.

“Radio detection: Radar, or radio ranging, is a cutting-edge technology that uses radio waves to detect objects. This research is highly confidential and will significantly improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

 Time required for study: 70 days

Effect: Allow civilian factories in the system to produce first-level radar station-related accessories and provide corresponding information. "

The reason why this technology is unlocked with the research slot of Awakening the Brave Tiger is because Huanghe plans to extend the Eighth Route Army's communication network outwards after disposing of the troops directly under the Mongolian Army and the North China Front Army.

Even though this thing is rated as Level 1 in the system, its actual search radius is not small at all.

Under normal circumstances, a primary radar station can easily detect enemy aircraft within three hundred kilometers and determine the number, altitude, and distance of the enemy aircraft from the station.

 Once the enemy appears, the above information will be transmitted to Taiyuan as soon as possible.

 The combat command room at the headquarters will assign the nearest combat formation to attack the enemy, striving to intercept enemy aircraft in the uninhabited land outside the province.

 This means that as long as a sufficient number of radar stations are deployed in Hebei and Chahar, there will no longer be the risk of a sneak attack by the Japanese army and aviation in our own area.

After all, based on the speed of Type 1 Fighting Falcon and Type 2 Fighting Zhong Kui, a distance of 300 kilometers is enough for them to fly for more than half an hour.

With such ample preparation time, the Eighth Route Army Air Force can definitely reach the interception airspace in advance.

Of course, if there is an opportunity in the future, radar stations will also need to be deployed in various coastal cities.

Higher-level detection radars are more versatile. They can not only help obtain intelligence, but also increase the monitoring of enemy naval fleets.

 After pushing the Japanese troops entrenched in Shandong into the sea, Benzi Base Camp will not give up such an important strategic area easily. Facing the combined attack of red deer and horse dung, land-based aircraft and radar are the wise choice.

Just as the Yellow River was enjoying its future, Lao Cui, who had come back to his senses, suddenly asked:

“Huang, has your Eighth Route Army built a radar station? Can you take me to see it later?”

As soon as these words came out, Huang suddenly showed an awkward smile.

Level 1 radar station is indeed the most cutting-edge technological product in the current era. But it has a very obvious shortcoming, which is its height of more than ninety meters.

 Constructing such a large regional building is a big challenge for the current Eighth Route Army.

"Hey, the finished product will have to wait for a while. Comrades are exposed to new technology for the first time, and they still need some time to explore."    "Anyway, you have to come to Taiyuan before returning to China. After all, we still have to discuss the details of the Lend-Lease Act. If you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry, it won’t be too late to watch it then.”

ˆ “.”

  ·······

After a journey of 20 minutes, Huang He and his party finally arrived at the final stop of this observation: the station of the 1st Marine Regiment.

As soon as the jeep entered the gate, Lao Cui, who was in the back seat, noticed something unusual.

 The soldiers here are not only not wearing the most common gray military uniforms. And everyone's momentum seemed to be stronger than that of the guards at the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

“Hey, Deputy General Staff Officer, Lao Huang, you are finally here!”

“This must be our ally. Comrade Cui is welcome to visit our Marine Corps.”

They heard Li Yunlong's devilish laughter as soon as they got out of the car.

Today, Lao Li is still wearing a grass-green military uniform. With sunglasses and a corn cob pipe he got from nowhere, he looks very impressive.

“Li Yunlong, our time is limited, let’s just lead the way and visit.”

 When the deputy general staff officer spoke, Jun Housheng naturally did not dare to have any objections. He first looked at the watch in his hand, and then ordered to the waiting communications soldier:

 “Notify the first battalion commander that the guests are already in place!”

"yes!"

By now, Lao Cui has guessed the content of the finale.

 When he was in the mountain city, he heard that the Eighth Route Army had a well-trained and powerful airborne force. It is said that because of this incident, a certain bald man did not sleep well for a whole week.

 After all, the "ally" suddenly had a heavenly soldier, so it was impossible for him not to panic.

Five minutes later, three air masters painted with red five-star aircraft emblems appeared on the scene, each with a Hamilka glider towed behind it.

When the transport plane flew over the 1st Marine Regiment's station, Cui, who was originally cheerful, suddenly became stunned, and his expression was even more exciting than that of the engineer who led the team.

Without him, it’s too big!

“Sukka! What on earth is this? A transport plane! Or a heavy transport plane with four engines!”

“I have never seen such a huge aircraft before. Is it a product of independent research and development by your Eighth Route Army? Oh my God, your technology tree is too crooked, isn’t it?”

 The shouting allies made Huang He slap his ears helplessly.

 At this point in time, the north is still using heavy bombers to transport airborne troops.

Compared with the old TB-3, the Air Overlord is far ahead in all attributes, and its speed, range and load are more than double that of the old aircraft.

 “Old Cui, calm down.”

“The transport aircraft and gliders in front of you, including the transport aircraft that sent you to Taiyuan, will be included in the subsequent Lend-Lease Act.”

“Although the production cycle of this large four-engine transport aircraft is very long, it is not particularly difficult for our Eighth Route Army to produce one hundred.”

As soon as these words came out, Lao Cui's face immediately lit up with joy.

 The stronger the allies, the better the assistance. This is his most incisive summary of this trip to Taiyuan.

While the two were talking, Hamilka's glider decoupled first and flew silently toward the northeast corner of the training ground.

After the glider landed smoothly, the soldiers in the transport plane jumped from the belly of the aircraft, and white canopies slowly fell from the sky.

 After the airborne troops landed, some of the soldiers immediately left the cabin to guard according to the predetermined arrangement, and the other group began to move the airborne tanks in the cabin.

 It is worth mentioning that there are three forms of Cicada pose participating in this exercise.

 The first type is naturally the tank form, which is the cornerstone of the combat mobile company. The second type is a medium-air defense equipped with a 37mm anti-aircraft gun. Its existence improves the survivability of the first marine regiment.

The third type is even more heavyweight. This Cicada was transformed into an airborne tractor by Huang He himself. It tows an M1897 75mm field gun behind it.

 After all the troops were assembled, Mr. Huang patted Lao Maozi on the shoulder and said:

“You don’t really think that the final show is just ordinary airborne troops.”

“Four-engine heavy transport aircraft and gliders are indeed good things, but airborne armored troops are your favorite dish in the north. How about it, do you like the surprise I prepared for you?”

Hearing this, Lao Cui changed his previous numbness and stared intently at the marine group practicing in front.

  As we all know, old men of any period have the wild habit of filling lines with paratroopers. In a sense, the status of the airborne troops in the north is not even as good as the fourth-class people in Chou Country.

 Let’s not mention World War II. In the Battle of the Dnieper River a year later, two brigades of paratroopers directly airborne in order to cut off Desan’s retreat.

Now that a set of mature and imaginative airborne equipment appeared in front of Lao Cui, how could he not be tempted.

"Huang, the tank of your 1st Marine Regiment reminds me of the Czechoslovak 38T. Its modification potential is obvious to the naked eye. If possible, I hope to try driving it myself." (End of this chapter)
