The evening discussion ended at about 10:30. Considering that Wang Jitong and Zhou Sixu were going to return to Beijing overnight, Yang Rui immediately ordered his servants to have a midnight snack after the discussion. When the simple white porridge was brought up, Wang Jitong was a little worried: he never knew that he would fight Europe even if he had to fight Perfect Continent. In this way, the war would not be seven years, nine years and ten years were possible. If the war really lasted for ten years, it would be either the economy or the hottest soldiers would be tired of it.

Wang Jitong was thinking about his thoughts, but Zhou Sixu was a little hesitant. He drank white porridge in one bite and said he was full after a bowl. Yang Rui ignored him and only spoke with Wang Jitong in one sentence. After saying a few words, Zhou Sixu coughed a few times and said, "Sir, since bombing is the key to war, the performance of the bomber is crucial..."

"Yeah." Yang Rui, who was drinking porridge, responded simply, not sure what he was going to say.

"Since the bomber is important, the Peng style..." Zhou Sixu deliberately stopped for a moment. Seeing that Yang Rui didn't ask, he had to smile and said with a sneer: "Sir, the Peng style is good, the range is enough, and although the load capacity is smaller, the number is 10,000 aircraft a year, which is safe..."

"Say whatever you want." Seeing Zhou's thoughts like this, Yang Rui said angrily that there must be something difficult about this.

"Sir," Seeing Yang Rui speak, Zhou Sixu hurriedly took out a document from his portable document box and said, "Sir, the Shanxi factory also wants to produce bombers. This is their design sketch..."

In order to facilitate Yang Rui's viewing, Zhou Sixu has put the three views of the plane at the top. It would be fine if he didn't look at it, but when he saw Yang Rui said 'eh', he said: "It's actually... six rounds."

Language often cannot express what you think in real time. What surprised Yang Rui was not six-engine, but actually hybrid, and the arrangement of the two jet engines was strange: it was not at a certain distance from the fuselage on the wing, but directly glued to the nose; and the position was also above the wing, not below; the nozzle at the tail was not behind the wing, but facing half of the wing. If Yang Rui could recall the later Soviet Union's An-72 and the American Imperial y-14, he immediately understood the role of this shape, but he obviously did not understand it.

In his eyes, this six-engine bomber is actually an improved version of the Peng style. Thanks to the two jet engines tightly sticking to the nose, it only lengthened the wings for a short period. The two propeller engines that were originally close to the fuselage moved outwards so that the two jet engines could be stuffed in, and there was no major change in the other way.

"Sir, this is the new concept of the Shanxi factory. The main considerations at the beginning of the design are two main points. The first is that when the Peng-style altitude is 7,000, the maximum speed is only 480 kilometers. This speed is too slow and it is easy to be intercepted by enemy fighters; the second is that the Peng-style 10,000 meters ceiling is not enough. If you want to avoid anti-aircraft guns on the ground, it is best to have a 14,000-meter ceiling, but this is obviously unlikely, so you have to set the ceiling between 12,000 and 13,000 meters. In this way, except for a few heavy anti-aircraft guns, other anti-aircraft guns cannot pose a threat to them..." Zhou Sixu explained, and before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Rui.

"The jet engine is very fuel-consuming, and the engine is probably... How heavy is it, Xiao Xu?" Yang Rui looked at Wang Jitong, and Wang Jitong said: "The net weight of a single one is about four or five hundred kilograms."

"Yes, two jet engines are only one ton, plus fuel, how far can your plane fly?" Yang Rui asked.

"Sir, that's it." Zhou Sixu said: "These two jet engines do not work normally. They only work during takeoff and when entering the target area. The takeoff is to bring more fuel and bombs, and the engine will be shut down after takeoff. As for engine bombers, it is not sensitive to engine failure or reduced thrust, so we can use four propeller engines as cruise. When entering the enemy area, the jet engine will ignite again, with the purpose of climbing and accelerating. This will not only make enemy fighters unable to catch up, but also avoid ground anti-aircraft artillery fire."

Speaking of this week, Sixu took out another three-view of the design and said: "This is another engine layout plan, which is relatively normal. The jet engine is arranged in a pod type, not close to the nose or above the wing. But the disadvantage is that the wings must be extended a lot, and the wing extension must be extended, which means that the weight of the entire aircraft must be greatly increased. If the weight of the fuselage increases too much, then the four propeller engines will be very difficult during cruising, and the maximum speed and ceiling cannot be increased. So the previous solution is better. This is mainly borrowed from the wall-attached effect proposed by Mr. Kangda..."

"It's that Romanian?" Yang Rui knew this Mr. Kangda, but remembered that he was not because of the wall effect, but because this person actually applied for a UFO patent at the China Patent Office. Yang Rui did not believe in UFO, but the Royal Academy of Sciences of Greater China has money, and aviation experts and inventors from various countries have become visitors to the Academy of Sciences. Kangda actually received project funding. I really don't know how he convinced the review team.

"Yes, sir." Zhou Sixu laughed when he heard Yang Rui say the flying saucer. The project that cost several million yuan was not enough to get anything, and he only got a few warehouse data tables. In order to enhance Yang Rui's confidence, Zhou Sixu emphasized: "Sir, Mr. Kangda Shenwu proposed the idea of ​​using the wall effect to build an aircraft a year ago and built the Coenda-1910. The aircraft was exhibited at the second international aviation salon that year, but it was limited to the absence of a jet engine, it was just a model.

Although the UFO project failed, the research on the wall-attached effect was very mature. With the first generation of jet engines, we have verified the feasibility of this design…”

"What?!" Yang Rui was surprised, and he looked at Wang Jitong again, "What's going on? Isn't the jet engine top secret?"

"So, Henry Conda was admitted to Chinese nationality ten years ago, and his Chinese name was changed to Kang's tycoon." Wang Ji Tongdao. "We recognize dual nationality, so he is also Romanian. The same is true for the Jews. Many of them did not give up their German nationality and planned to go back after the Nazis fell, so they only became Chinese nationality."

"It's actually called Daheng Kang, this name!" Yang Rui saw that the other party had already become a Chinese citizen, and his concerns were slightly smaller.

Zhou Sixu interrupted when he saw this: "Sir, Mr. Kangda's father is a general in Romania, his mother is a French, and he was an artillery officer before. He has a good background and a good character, so he can trust. China and Rome are also closely related, especially after the canal is opened. The Shanxi Factory also considered that Mr. Kangda had a deep study of the effect of the wall, so he joined the Pengliu project team."

"Project team?" Yang Rui raised his voice again, "Shanxi Factory started to do it by itself?"

"Yes..." Zhou Sixu replied weakly. He hurriedly said: "This is what the Shanxi factory paid for by itself, and the General Manager did not allocate funds here. Alas, the matter is this: Baotou factory borrowed the Shanxi factory's people and technical information to develop Pengsi. General Manager Wang, who completed the research and development of Shanxi factory, felt that this bomber could actually be built larger, so he started to develop Pengliu by himself. Last year, after being questioned by the Investigation Institute, the factory discussed how to deal with enemy bombers. The final result was that his bomber must fly high and fast. So he asked Mr. Kang Da to join the project team and change the original Pengliu to this.

In addition to not making major changes to Pengsi in order to reduce the body, this consideration has another advantage that the wall effect can enable the aircraft to take off on a shorter runway. For example, Pengsi, the starting line requires at least 1,200 meters, but Pengliu, based on power calculation, takes less than 700 meters of takeoff distance, and landing and skiing less than 30,000 meters, and the requirements for airport runways are also very low. Generally, field airports can take off and land."

Hearing that the starting distance was only a little more than half of the Peng-style four-engine bomber, Yang Rui finally became interested. If this is the case, then the six or seven hundred-meter iceberg base can take off and land such an aircraft, which is equivalent to an additional Cuban airport. He randomly handed over the strange Peng-Liu San view to Wang Jitong and said, "Do you know this project?"

"I know something." Wang Jitong nodded. "Using the surface blowing and lifting technology with wall-mounted effect, I have been more mature after spending millions of dollars to study the flying saucer. The problem now is that the exhaust temperature of the jet engine outlet is extremely high, and the wing materials behind the jet must be made of nickel-based heat-resistant alloy. I don't know how the Shanxi factory solved this problem. However, it is still time to see that time. The aircraft will use the second-generation jet engine. The second-generation engine has been out for 30 years. If the aircraft body design goes smoothly, it can be produced in that year and can be put into service at the end of the year. If it is late, it will be delayed by one year at most, and it will be possible to land."

When Wang Jitong introduced the situation, Zhou Sixu was looking at him nervously. In the eyes of the General Secretary, it was the best situation to compete with each other; and the General Staff and the Air Force were very clear. They care about the short-range take-off and landing capabilities of the aircraft, and also hope that the bomber could fly higher and faster to reduce combat losses. The last use is early warning aircraft. If Pengliu is used as an early warning aircraft, the range reaches 10,000 kilometers, and they are not afraid of enemy aircraft intercepting. However, resources are limited, and R&D costs and manufacturing costs are not raised. What if they are soaked like a flying saucer, so Wang Jitong's opinion is very important.

Wang Jitong just said that he did not add subjective judgment, but Yang Rui turned around and asked, "How big is the propeller engine does the aircraft use?"

"For the sake of being mature, you can use 1,600 horsepower first, but you will consider 2,000 horsepower when designing the body." Zhou Sixu said. "If it is a 2,000 horsepower engine, the combat radius of 2,000 kilometers will be more than three tons, which is much higher than Pengsi."

"How much does it cost to develop?" Yang Rui asked. "How much does it cost to get equipment after the research and development is completed? Besides, if you have Pengliu, Pengsi's purchase volume will definitely drop, and they can still give you a bargain price of 250,000 yuan? The Baotou factory invested heavily back then, so it was up to Pengsi to pay for the capital. Or would you use that torpedo dive bomber to deceive others?"

The torpedo dive bomber was used to evade Baotou Factory. Seeing Yang Rui mentioning this, Zhou Sixu said without any intention: "There is no way to cheat people. The Jiyi Academy does not pay, and the Air Force chases the plane again. This..." He said as he spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will add the depreciation of Baotou Factory anyway. Pengliu has great potential. The Air Force and the General Staff believe that it should be equipped. The Shanxi factory estimated that the R&D cost is about 2 billion yuan. After the production is finalized, it will cost about 400,000 yuan per aircraft. If you can order 10,000 aircraft, the price should be within 450,000 yuan."

"This money!" Peng Liu's third view returned to Yang Rui from Wang Jitong. He also hoped to have a heavy bomber with low combat losses and short-range take-off and landing, but what if this plane was like a flying saucer?

As if seeing Yang Rui's concern, Zhou Sixu said: "Mr. Kangda said that he would guarantee in the name of his ancestors that the aircraft could be designed successfully."

"Did he say that when he designed the UFO before?" Yang Rui asked Wang Jitong with a smile. "Xiao Xu, what do you think? Will the project fail? What do you think if it fails?"

"This..." Wang Jitong finally spoke with Zhou Sixu's expectation, "No matter whether it succeeds or not, you have to try it. There is not much money. Even if you fail, you can accumulate experience in this area. After so many years in the laboratory, I have learned a truth: that is, research and development is similar to gambling. If you win, you owe the dealer, and you will pay it back next time; if you lose, the dealer owes you. If you can't get it back this time, there will always be next time. As long as you lose enough, you will win back one day. As long as you have a long time, the winning or losing is a fixed number."

Wang Jitong had this personally. Seeing him say this, Yang Rui finally nodded reluctantly. He said: "If the project starts now, where will the project funds come from? Will the Air Force fund be compressed?"

"The Air Force's funds have been spent." Zhou Sixu said. "This can only be the National Bank's solution. It's only 400 million to 500 million. Xingjian will always have a solution."

"'That'?" Yang Rui glared at him, "Xingjian's budget this year has been used up. The Japanese are stingy. Unless it is a mortgage loan, the money will not be so easy to get."

When Yang Rui mentioned the Japanese, he was angry. He thought it was expensive for 200 million Hunyuan bombs, so he had to take apart and look at specific production technology. He knew that the Guangji Academy had spent 1.4 billion yuan to allocate this project, and then the value he had pointed out was worth at least 3 billion yuan. He had to pay 400 million to see the full set, and there was no door.

Yang Rui thought about the little Japanese stingy, but Zhou Sixu, who heard that he had no money, smiled bitterly. He said, "Sir, if the project is to be launched until next year, it will be too late to wait for the bomber to come out."

He said so, and Yang Rui had to look at Wang Jitong, "Is there any way?"

"No." Wang Jitong shook his head straightforwardly. "The Qian Chuntian for R&D this year has been allocated, and there are only 70 to 80 million left."

"Have you had a specific talk with the Shanxi Factory?" Yang Rui had to ask Zhou Sixu again, "How much does it cost to start up?"

"At least 400 million, if not enough, it's 300 million." Zhou Sixu was a little incoherent, "Anyway, move first, there's no way to 200 million."

"Then go back and ask Yang Zengxin. Beiting and the Western Regions have not paid taxes and only allocated funds. It's time to shear the wool." Yang Rui thought about it, but he really couldn't think of any place to go, so he had to ask Zhou Sixu to find Yang Zengxin. But when he thought that Yang Zengxin would have to have money at the end of the year, he had to say, "Let's go and borrow it temporarily from Qiaoshang Bank, and I'll pay it back next year."

Qiaoshang Bank is facing overseas Chinese at home and abroad, with extremely strong capital and can spend hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank at any time. When Zhou Sixu heard Yang Rui say he went to Qiaoshang Bank, he finally felt relieved.

A midnight snack actually gave birth to a bomber worth 2 billion. Yang Rui smiled bitterly when he sent him away. But the temptation of short-distance take-off and landing and low combat losses is too great. Since Wang Jitong said that winning or losing is always a certain amount, let's take a bet.

After Yang Rui returned to his room, he finished sorting out the notes of the meeting before going to bed. When he got up the next day and was studying the entire combat plan, Yang Wuming came in a hurry. His face mixed with excitement and anxiety, and said, "Father, the Japanese government has issued an ultimatum to Washington!"

"Is that true?" Yang Rui put down his notepad and calculator and agreed lightly. He lit a cigarette and said, "What happened just now?"

"Yes, the radio will be broadcasting this news soon." Yang Wuming said, then turned on the radio, which was broadcasted with storytellings from Chinese heroes.

After listening to the storytelling for a while, Cheng Xu and Lu Mei came without waiting for the news to be broadcast. The former was holding a telegram in his hand, while the latter was holding several telegrams in his hand. The telegram in Cheng Xu was sent by Chinese overseas in Hawaii at 8 am in Beijing and 2 pm in Hawaii. As soon as Japan issued an ultimatum to the United States, Hawaii, a hot spot, it was known. The telegram from overseas Chinese immediately called Cheng Xu. Although this was the ultimatum of the Japanese government, Americans could not distinguish between Chinese and Japanese, and Chinese living in cities were more vulnerable to attack, so overseas Chinese called in a hurry.

"What the hell is this?" Cheng Xu's face looked very bad. Hawaii was her hometown, but now this hometown may be engulfed by war at any time.

Although he understood what was going on, Yang Rui still pretended to be stupid: "What's going on? Japan just issued an ultimatum."

"What is it just?!" Cheng Xu almost cried. "The ultimatum is only 72 hours. If Washington does not agree, then the next step is Japan and the United States. Do we also declare war on the United States?"

"We have withdrawn from the East Asian Alliance. As long as the United States does not fight us, how could a war start?" Yang Rui couldn't stand the woman crying the most, and when he saw her appearance, he had to turn his head to the side.

"Didn't you promise me not to fight before?" Cheng Xu really cried, the pear blossoms were so pitiful.

"How can I promise you whether to fight or not? When did I promise you?" Yang Rui asked curiously. He remembered that he had never said it before.

"You also said, let me and Xiaoman give it to you..." Cheng Xu's face suddenly turned red. In front of her son, how could she say anything about sex, let alone that kind of thing. However, when she said that Yang Rui and Lu Mei also turned red. It was a really awesome night.

"Yeah..." Yang Rui pretended to be serious and looked at his son, saying, "Wu Ming went out first."

"Yes." Yang Wuming, who didn't know what happened, was comforting his mother. He only had one wife, but he didn't know my ****.

"Okay. I'm not the emperor of Japan. He died in Marshall last year. I'll have to endure this tone for a year." After his son left, Yang Rui closed the study door and pulled Cheng Lu in his arms. He was afraid of neglecting Lu Mei, so he also pulled her with his other hand.

"Then will we kill more people in war?" Cheng Xu wiped his tears, "What should I do in Honolulu?"

"Honolulu..." Yang Rui, who had just returned to normal at this time, thought that Honolulu was indeed difficult to handle. The government only evacuated the mainland of the United States, and tens of thousands of people in Honolulu did not move. "If you don't have it, just take it. The Liaodong area is very large anyway, and many people can stuff it."

"You can't stop fighting?" Cheng Xu asked. She was worried that her compatriots were one, and she hated war was two.

"I'm not the Japanese emperor." Yang Rui was powerless. "The Americans did too much. Why did they rush to the island to kill three or four thousand people in the family? This is a matter..."

"Human rights are greater than sovereignty." Cheng Wu's American fan nature was revealed again, "Who told the Japanese not to let others go to the island? You said, if I fell on another island and disappeared, would you come to me?"

"I will find you and Xiaoman at the end of the world." Yang Rui pulled Lu Mei for a moment and had to give a standard answer. "But I really can't control the Japanese. The resolution passed by the League of Nations also requires the US Navy to withdraw from Marshall, and those who are looking for people can stay. If the Americans really don't have bad intentions, then this ultimatum will be nothing."

"The League of Nations is still aimed at us and Japan." Cheng Xu was hopeless. This is a butt problem, not an IQ problem. "If the Japanese really have no ghosts in their hearts, why don't they let Americans go to the island if they die? And the heel I found is obviously..."

"Yeah..." Yang Rui was serious again. He slowly pushed Cheng Xu out of his arms and said, "Okay, I will send a boat to Honolulu to pick up people back later." After that, he was about to leave the study room and go to the secret room.

"Where are you going?" Cheng Xu was a little confused. He was obviously coaxed by the man in his arms, but he didn't want to suddenly change his face.

"I'm very busy, I have to read a lot of telegrams." Yang Rui didn't look back and went out with Lu Mei.

Most of the telegrams were sent by representatives from overseas Chinese from all over the world. They basically went straight to the topic after greetings. There were also acquaintances such as Yu Qiaqing in China. They didn’t understand how the situation would change, so they came to ask. After browsing these telegrams quickly, Yang Rui looked at Lu Mei who was about to take a pen to record the call and said, “Don’t reply, there is nothing to reply.”

"Yes." Lu Mei carefully closed the telegram book and waited for Yang Rui's other instructions.

"Let Zhang Shi pay close attention to the American reaction." Yang Rui reminded. "If those who are in power have any reactions to this, they must record them in detail and study them carefully. Maybe it will be useful in the future."

"Yes." Lu Mei opened the telegram book again and began to draft the telegram. After writing it, she handed it over to Yang Rui to sign it. Then she sent it out.

The conflict between Japan and the United States has been a year old. Last year, when the whole world thought that the Japanese were going to declare war, they stepped on the brakes and handed the matter over to the League of Nations for investigation, which made peace-loving people all over the world suggest that this year's Nobel **** should be awarded to the Japanese emperor. But when the most dangerous moment passed, the League of Nations made a resolution, and the Japanese actually issued an ultimatum.
Chapter completed!
