Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Feng Ru's flight research institute had too many things to move, even if Wei Ze led a regiment and Ding Yi recruited [-] candidate pilots.

There were more than [-] people in total, and they still worked hard for a long time before moving the parts in the research institute into the temporary warehouse.

The rest are waiting to be trucked to the new location.

This series of transportation, debugging and other work has been busy for half a month, and the debugging of the first aircraft has been completed.

After learning that the plane had been adjusted, Wei Ze hurried to the airport. He wanted to see the plane with his own eyes.

Also running with him to watch were the candidate pilots.

These people also know that this aircraft will be their weapon from now on, and they will be the first batch of soldiers of the empire to soar in the sky.

When the institute's test pilot stepped on the accelerator and the plane roared into the sky, Wei Ze and the candidate pilots erupted into waves of mountain roars and tsunamis.

"Long Live the Empire!"

"Long live the Air Force!"

After this test flight, these people devoted themselves to their work with even greater enthusiasm.

From August 1906 to August 8, within one year, the Aircraft Research Institute launched multiple models of aircraft.

Although it is still double-winged, the 7.62mm machine gun has been replaced by a more powerful 12.7mm machine gun, and the number is not the previous two, but four.

This gives the aircraft greater offensive power in the air.

Whether attacking air targets or ground targets, this is nothing less than a sharp weapon.

This kind of aircraft specializes in attacking air targets and is responsible for air combat, so Lin Yi defines this kind of aircraft as a fighter jet.

Since there are aircraft that attack air targets, there must be aircraft that attack ground targets.

Feng Ru and the others have designed two types of such aircraft.

The fuselage of an aircraft is slightly larger than its combat effectiveness. In addition to having six 12.7mm large-caliber machine guns, it also has four 25kg aerial bombs mounted under the wings on both sides.

This kind of aircraft is less flexible than a fighter jet, but more flexible than another type of aircraft.

Its goal is also to fly at low altitudes and bomb enemy ground targets, such as personnel or artillery positions, material warehouses and other important targets.

Therefore, Lin Yi defines such aircraft as ground attack aircraft, or directly referred to as attack aircraft, sweepers, etc.

The powerful firepower of this kind of aircraft means that it has certain protective capabilities. After all, this kind of aircraft needs to fly at ultra-low altitude and is easily attacked by ground anti-aircraft firepower.

Although at this time, there was no ground anti-aircraft firepower at all, this did not prevent people from the Empire's weapons research institute from treating their own aircraft as imaginary enemies.

After Yang Bing watched an airplane flight show once, he immediately went back to study anti-aircraft weapons.

The 20mm high-speed air defense cannon currently launched by Yang Bing can be very effective in shooting down attack aircraft.

And Yang Bing's move stimulated Feng Ru. So the two people began to desperately study weapons to restrain each other.

Of course, this is all off topic.

As for the third type of aircraft that Feng Ru and the others studied, it was a super-large triplane with three layers of wings.

Such an aircraft is obviously half the size of a fighter jet.

But with its extra large size, the aircraft's load capacity has also increased significantly.

It has two engines and a full load capacity of more than one ton.

And the belly of this aircraft can be opened.

This kind of aircraft has a very slow flying speed and a heavy load. It can install more aerial bombs inside the aircraft. It is specially designed to deal with ground targets and can carry out carpet bombing on the ground.

Lin Yi named such an aircraft bomber.

Of course, the bomber maximizes its load capacity, which makes it give up some things that don't seem to be that important.

Just like a machine gun on an airplane.

That's right, the bombers designed by Feng Ru and others were not equipped with machine guns, but only aerial bombs.

Therefore, this also leads to the fact that bombers must be in a relatively safe environment before they can take off.

And this also limits the combat method of the entire Air Force.

First, fighter jets take off to fight, shooting down or driving away enemy aircraft, and then attack aircraft carry out targeted clearance of enemy ground-based air defense weapons.

Finally, the bombers took off and covered the remaining targets on the ground with firepower, completely defeating the enemy.

With the emergence of this set of theories, Ding Yi and the others started training in this way.

1907 was a seemingly peaceful year, but in fact it was a turbulent year.

This year, the entire East Asia region was fine. With the behemoth Daxia here, the entire East Asia was relatively peaceful.

No matter it is Jiro Koizumi or the newly enthroned Taisho Tenhuang of the Sakura Kingdom, that is, Yoshihito, they do not dare to do anything under Daxia's nose.

Therefore, the entire East Asia region is still peaceful, even though everyone knows that this peace is only superficial.

But this is not the case in Europe and America.

The first was the Kingdom of John, the Kingdom of Gaul, and the Kingdom of Rakshasa. In order to deal with the challenges of the Hans Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they formally signed a contract and formed the Entente.

The formation of this treaty almost set the whole of Europe on fire.

This was also the first time that John, the nation of Gaul, formally brought the Entente to the forefront and confronted the Allies tit for tat.

From this moment on, the whole of Europe has formed a confrontation between the two major forces.

This confrontation was comprehensive and spread across Europe.

At this time, Europe has become a huge powder keg. It only takes a little spark to ignite the entire Europe.

Of course, in addition to one thing, there were two other things that were not big and not small.

One is the financial crisis in America, which has caused the entire investment market in America to wail. Countless investors have gone bankrupt and a large number of factories are facing closure.

And just when this wave of crisis has swept across North America and most of Europe, it almost caused Europe to start a war early due to this financial crisis.

A mysterious organization, wielding a large amount of real money, began to acquire factories and enterprises in Millikin.

It forcibly stabilized the American financial market that was about to go bankrupt.

As America, the source of the financial crisis, was stabilized, the impact in Europe was quickly eliminated.

Let Europe, which was about to start a fight, calm down again.

And this organization that spends a lot of money to save America has no information except the name of a relief society.

But even so, there is no one in the entire Western world who does not fear the words Relief Society.

Because it only took them three months to stabilize Millikin, which was about to go bankrupt.

This means that this relief organization has enough financial resources to disrupt a country.

No one wants to have such an organization to help them in their own country.

Therefore, various countries are wary of the existence of relief societies and want to make good friends with them.

After all, the Relief Society supports him, so he has one more way to attack his enemies, right?
