Chapter 182 Spear and Shield
When he saw the plane, Marquis Whitehead immediately thought of its military role. But imagination was imaginary, and after he truly saw the changes in the entire war mode, he realized that he had far underestimated the impact of this new type of air combat weapon on the battle situation.
The Imperial Border Army was chased by the parliamentary army like a driven duck. If it weren't for the short-term establishment of the parliamentary army, hadn't experienced actual combat, and insufficient military literacy, and the frequent aircraft dispatch, resulting in logistical problems. The Imperial Border Army had been surrounded by the parliamentary army and implemented the final annihilation.
Although the Imperial Army has now retreated most of the border troops, no one is optimistic about the subsequent war. They believe that the aircraft of the parliamentary army cannot be suppressed, and the imperial military force will soon be bombed and lose confidence to continue to build.
The Imperial Army needed its own aircraft, and the only one who could produce aircraft was the Black Fire Company.
The Marquis of Whitehead visited the company to buy the Black Fire Company plane. However, after the Marquis said his purpose, Daliang refused very simply: "Sorry, Marquis! My Marcelos and I agreed that within one year of the war, Black Fire Company would not sell the planes publicly. In addition, the production capacity of my aircraft manufacturing factory is still increasing, and the parliamentary order has already allowed my factory to start construction day and night."
Daliang was right. The Marcellus Parliament, which had already tasted the sweetness of the plane, added another batch of aircraft orders. They were preparing to annihilate the Imperial Army in the territory in the shortest time, and then Marcellus could gain true independence.
The aircraft manufacturing factory of Black Fire Airlines really started working day and night, and Daliang, who was full of money, offered high overtime bonuses, making the workers willing to contribute their labor happily.
The arms business is indeed the most profitable, especially the arms business during the war. It is conceivable what impact it will have on the world arms business after the plane debuted in the Marcellus War. It is estimated that a year later, the Black Fire Company officially sold aircraft to foreign countries, and the orders could probably overwhelm Daliang.
However, the Marquis of Whitehead could not wait for a year. He said: "Without restraining the planes of the parliamentary army, the empire would have completely failed in Marcellus within a year. And I... I am certainly not a rival to the parliamentary army at that time.
Don't you want Marcellus? Then sell the plane to the Empire."
Daliang insisted: "Mr. Marquis, I am a credited businessman. I promised Peters not to sell planes to other countries for a year and would not violate the contract.
In fact, it is not difficult to deal with as long as the plane finds the right solution."
The Marquis of Whitehead asked immediately: "Is there any way to suppress the planes of the parliament."
Daliang replied: "Aircraft is an air combat weapon with very obvious advantages and obvious weaknesses. It has very strong offensive capabilities, but it is extremely fragile. As long as it can hit it, it can easily destroy it.
If the Empire wants to deal with the plane, don't be afraid of it first. The Empire has more silver wings than the parliamentary army. As long as the Empire can divide a certain number of silver wings, it can limit the performance of the aircraft."
Using the advantages of the silver wing to restrict the aircraft of the parliamentary army was originally one of the plans formulated by the Imperial Army, but... the Marquis said: "The parliamentary army also has silver wings, and the silver wings of the Imperial Border Army need to be scattered to various defense zones. When the parliamentary army's silver wing escort aircraft group launched an attack from a certain battlefield, it would be too late for us to allocate the silver wings from other theaters.
The most important thing is that there are too many planes from the parliamentary army. They attack everywhere and make our silver wings exhausted."
Now the Imperial Army is passively defending, and the failure of the battle on the border line is even more unable to organize an attack, which has caused the dispersion of the Blade Wing. Due to the pressure caused by the Parliamentary Army aircraft, the Imperial Army has increased the frequency of the Blade Wing air duty, which has made the Blade Wing pilots very tired and the magic power cannot be recovered in time.
Then it’s time for Daliang to promote.
"Then the empire needs equipment that can detect the direction of the attack of the parliamentary aircraft in advance." Daliang snapped his fingers, and the captain of the close servant Sophia spread a drawing on the table in front of the two. Daliang pointed to the drawing and said to the Marquis: "This is an air warning equipment developed by the Black Fire Company for aircraft... including all air objects. I call it radar.
The principle of radar is to continuously emit electromagnetic wave signals into the sky. When flying objects appear in the sky, the electromagnetic waves will be reflected back and received by the radar receiver. Then, the target size, flight speed, flight altitude and other data can be calculated based on the received electromagnetic wave characteristics.
We can use this to tell whether the one who was discovered was a bird, an airplane, or a silver wing."
Now the military forces of all parties of the Order Star have not had an effective means to discover air objects in advance. They are more likely to send forward observation personnel to conduct observations in the air, or send silver wings and airships to perform cruises. However, the efficiency of these detection methods is too low, and it is difficult to provide long-range early warnings to incoming air targets, and the chance of not being able to make timely early warnings is very high.
If there is a full-weather monitoring of air targets, the Imperial Army will be able to detect the incoming parliamentary fleet as soon as possible, and then calmly allocate the silver wings from various defense areas to block them. Moreover, with this full-time early warning equipment, the patrol time of the Silver wing can be reduced and the Silver wing drivers can be rested, which can greatly increase the Imperial Army's air strength when combat breaks out.
The Marquis knew that this was a pit that Young Master Liang had prepared long ago, but he asked anxiously: "How far can your radar detect and warning the target in advance?"
"I have built a batch of radar test aircraft. After repeated tests, I can accurately detect flying objects at 150 kilometers. In the range of 120 kilometers to 150 kilometers, I can judge whether the target discovered is the aircraft and its size.
If used in combination, it will be longer.
It can provide the Empire with a warning time of fifteen to twenty minutes. The Imperial army can set up an air-blocking firepower network in the direction of the aircraft in advance, which can allow the silver wing to lift up early to occupy a favorable position, and the support from other defense zones can also arrive faster.
If used properly, you can unexpectedly carry out large-scale annihilation operations against the Parliamentary Army Group."
Since the appearance of the aircraft, it has been the sharp spear of the attacking party. In response to the appearance of the aircraft, the invention of radar is to deal with the shield of the aircraft. The competition between the aircraft and the radar has never stopped...
Daliang gave the parliamentary army planes and this time he wanted to hand over the radar to the empire.
