Chapter 681

The SH-1A, which deliberately ignored the armor issue, showed mobility and firepower to the satisfaction of Dowding.

Although he saw the data of armor, in his opinion, it was the original design. He didn't know that the thickness of armor before was four times that of the present, so there was no strong sense of drop.

Armor is a weak point. It has considerable firepower and maneuverability. It depends on what kind of war it is put into.

"Mr. brigadier, if you are interested, we also have the fighter plane, hellcat, the D-11 in service, which is one of the best fighters in North America."

Seeing that Dowding fell into thinking, Johnson appropriately promoted other skunk products. The D-11, which was valued by the U.S. military, was the focus.

"I know." "But we have good enough fighters, the hurricane made by Hawke company. Maybe you should know more about it."

The hurricane fighter, made by the UK's Hawke company, carries a liquid-cooled V-12 engine invented by Rolls Royce. Other information is not very clear.

It is said that the military is very satisfied with the fighter and plans to make it gradually replace the existing main fighters and become the trump card in future campaigns.

Although government politicians are optimistic that the war will be limited to controllable parts, the army still maintains a sense of crisis.

Not to mention the United Kingdom, even the American military across the Atlantic is also prepared.

Orders for DC-4 and dc-101 are also generated.

"Let's have a look at this." Li Zitao looked at Johnson and motioned him to take out the materials he had already prepared.

P-38, lightning, 20 mm caliber cannon, 4 0, 5-inch machine guns, 1415 kg explosives can be suspended under the wing, flying speed

"It's impossible." Daoding looked at him with a "ghost" look.

"Nothing is impossible, brigadier general. Our prototype will soon be completed. If you can stay half a month longer, I believe you will see its power."

Li Zitao said with a slight smile that he did not expect the development of "lightning" to accelerate so much, thanks to Tesla and Donald Douglas.

With the cooperation of the two, the progress of "lightning" has been improved by leaps and bounds, and the prototype is already in production.

Relying on the powerful industrial productivity of skunk R & D center, Li Zitao is confident that the prototype will be put into production directly after the prototype is finalized, so he invited daoding to stay for a few more days.

"Well, I'll wait 15 more days, hoping to get a satisfactory answer." The Taoist said firmly.

If the information in his hands is true, this fighter will be ahead of the times, and the current and rebuilt fighters will not be able to compete with it.

"Sir, it's time for you to think about how you can get Congress to approve the deal." Money is a good friend. Li Zitao called him from "brigadier general" to "general."

Don't worry about DC-4 and cd-101 orders. Dowing is here for them, and so are other expeditions.

As for the 1a and B models of the SH series of helicopters, daoding is also very interested. It would be a great surprise if the order of "lightning" can be reached again.

However, whether the Congress can pass it depends on the negotiation between the two countries. After all, it involves national defense and the latest achievements, which are difficult to release in any country.

"I will communicate with China on this matter." Said the Taoist with a solemn face.

As long as he can see the above data turn into reality, no matter what the cost, he will make the deal.

He thought that daoding would act only after seeing the real object. However, Li Zi Tao underestimated the importance and attraction of "lightning".

On the day after he had arranged for his residence, the federal arms Commission sent an investigation team to the skunk, asking for detailed data and manufacturing progress of the lightning.

"The prototype will be completed in about 10 days. After testing, it will be put into production about half a month, with a monthly production capacity of about 80." Johnson handed the information to the other party.

In the oral report, he used a lot of uncertain statements. After all, he has not really put into production. Now he only calculates based on the skunk's foundation and production capacity. At present, no one can know whether there will be problems in the manufacturing process.

After taking all the information, the investigation team visited the progress of the work in person, made some records and then left.

After that, it will be left to the two countries to negotiate. If the British really want to, there will always be a way.

Before World War II, the United States envied and yearned for the aristocratic life in Europe. The rich should not kneel and lick the poor and empty nobles.

Washington's attitude towards Britain is also ambiguous, and the two countries maintain complex diplomatic relations with the ambivalence of being close and eager to be recognized.

Three days later, the French delegation arrived, led by a major general. Visiting the skunk was the other party's second stop in the United States. Before that, they went to Curtis.

Curtis has not been engaged in the research and development of fighter, but its scale and research and development level can not be underestimated.And Republic aircraft and North American aircraft are enemies that need to be vigilant.

Some people believe that age is the best guarantee of quality than skunks.

It's just that after watching the performance of S-4, s-101, sh1a and sh1b, this idea has been greatly improved.

After learning the specific data of "lightning" and the news that the prototype will be available in another week, the major general also chose to stay in Santa Barbara.

The delegation from Spain, the Netherlands and the Soviet Union arrived a little late, but the time was just right for him, because when they arrived, the prototype of "lightning" was just completed.

"Everybody, our pilots are ready. Please keep your eyes open... Don't blink." Simply arrange some seats beside the runway as observation stations, Li said, pointing to a larger plane on the runway.

In this era, the size of the aircraft is not big. The "lightning" with double wings and double tail strut structure looks like a big fool.

However, these are not the key points. The powerful firepower like a shower, the simple disassembly and assembly technology make it easier to maintain, and the multi overlapping design of the vulnerable surface support makes it difficult to be punctured and the fuel tank will explode when attacked by artillery shells.

And its powerful power and climbing height are the reasons for people's favor.

There is no painting on the surface of the prototype, and the exposed steel nails look a bit rustic.

When the plane started, the fire extinguishers on both sides were towed down after seeing that the propeller rotated normally.

It is also important that the first three-point landing gear allows it to take off and land in a complex and crude airport.

Powerful firepower, can carry explosives, can also take off and land in the crude airport.

These conditions together, it is basically for the battlefield research and development, this point Li Zitao did not refute.

"The federal government announced in March to solicit a dual engine interceptor, which requires a climbing height of 4500-6500 and a subsonic speed. It is simple, safe and has extremely strong firepower. This fighter plane was developed and manufactured for this purpose."

Li Zitao is very proud to point to the sky. The P-38 is sweeping the "battlefield" below with extremely strong force. Sawdust flying and explosions are rising.

By the time the aircraft cease-fire hovers in the sky, the "battlefield" on the ground has been eliminated and leveled off. This is the advantage of "lightning".
