Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant - Chapter 470
Chapter 470 Air Combat
After the completion of the palace, there are many benefits. The queen has a dignified administrative palace. At the same time, the investor reception that was planned a while ago has been delayed because there is no suitable place. Now there is an excellent venue to use. The state banquet in November can also be held here.
According to the results of discussions between Ms. Roberts and Cliff, the maid of honor, they suggested that a reception be held in mid-September for investors and some government representatives of the Moncalieri Palace, and the cocktail party should be held in a free form. Send out invitations in mid-August and spend a month preparing.
This is also the first official meeting between the royal family and domestic or foreign investors. The presence of some representatives of the government will also establish some policy directions, which is a good time to understand the direction of investment. At the same time, the nature of the social meeting also means that guests from all walks of life can get to know each other.
…
During this period, both An Feng and Joanna have plenty of time to prepare, or to spend some relaxing time with their families. Since the end of the foreign visit in July, Joanna has basically completed her visits to major European and American countries. The next step is A light life.
In early August, An Feng went to care about other things.
Guri invited him to inspect the troops.
Sardinia’s army building results have come out. There are currently about 2,100 soldiers in service, 170 civilians, and 130 officers, but most of them are professional non-commissioned officers. There are also reserve officers in it. After the future military academy is completed, they will receive systematic officer education.
The ratio of officers to soldiers is maintained at about 1:15, which is a relatively large disparity. However, Gu Li adopted a strategy of focusing on training “professional non-commissioned officers”, which is different from the Chinese army that An Feng is familiar with. His focus is that soldiers are led by non-commissioned officers, and officers are only in charge of military affairs. Questions, suggestions, and the like.
For example, in the U.S. military, professional non-commissioned officers account for a large proportion. They are the direct managers, educators, and leaders of soldiers, while officers are only responsible for giving orders and commanding. For better or worse, but in line with the current Wehrmacht.
The national army does not need a large group of officers, it is bureaucratic and overstuffed, the current 2100 people, there are a small number of officers, and the number of non-commissioned officers who are closer to the lives of soldiers is increasing. Non-commissioned officers are teachers of soldiers in terms of quality and skills, and they can be converted from officers to soldiers. Meet flexible requirements.
The arrangement given by Gu Li is that there are six ranks in the rank of non-commissioned officer, corporal, sergeant, and sergeant, and three ranks of sergeant major. Sergeant majors are senior non-commissioned officers and are rare in number. In the U.S. military, the prestige of a sergeant major is higher than that of some generals. It’s the same in China, non-commissioned officers with more than 20 years of service experience are definitely extraordinary characters that are rarer than generals, and they are commonly known as “soldier kings”.
Guri’s management of grassroots soldiers is very good, drawing on the characteristics of various countries. Of course, he also has shortcomings – he is not a very qualified officer. His identity is more inclined to be a non-commissioned officer, but it doesn’t matter, anyway, there are more than 2,000 soldiers, and it doesn’t need an officer to be so smart or know how much strategy.
Accompanied by Gu Li, An Feng inspected the troops in the army base.
The problem with An Feng’s review is that he was awarded the title of “Field Marshal” by the Queen in June. First of all, it is a vacant position, and it is held by the prince or crown prince just like the British Marshals of various services. Secondly, it is said to be a vain position, but There is also the right to inspect troops.
But there are exceptions – in the case of the country being invaded or suffering a rebellion as stipulated in the constitution, he will take over the army as the Queen’s Guardian. However, in such a bad situation, the right to belong to the army…is in doubt. But An Feng has a trump card – the robot army.
Joanna also gave An Feng the strong title of “Marshal” to facilitate An Feng’s contact with the troops, and also made a set of military uniforms and daily clothes. An Feng has never been in the army, but he has had military training anyway, and his basic movements are still clear. In addition, he has a good temperament, so he looks energetic in military uniform.
First of all, it is a very pure army company with 120 people. After a year and a half of training, it finally has some energy. However, An Feng still has reservations about the combat effectiveness. It should be more powerful than the police. , but compared with the armies of other countries… we will not discuss it for now.
The second is the Marine Corps, which has high hopes. There are about two platoons of fifty people. They are all equipped with lightweight exoskeletons and use electromagnetic guns, which is very futuristic. Due to more training, the momentum on his body is stronger, and Gu Li is also satisfied.
According to An Feng’s conception, the Marine Corps is a practical unit, while the other military branches are mostly used to support the facade, and they are not very useful for fighting. The Marine Corps is capable, but war is not a matter of dozens of people. Once it happens, you still have to draw your cards.
As a field marshal, An Feng encouraged the army and then disbanded.
Guri said: “The effect is not bad, right? The Marine Corps is definitely an amazing weapon for counter-terrorism!”
An Feng said: “But the world here is peaceful, and I am afraid that we will never encounter war in our life. Terrorist activities, we do not provoke people, and it is difficult.”
Guri sighed, he also knew the truth.
An Feng looked at him and encouraged him: “But don’t worry too much. Switzerland hasn’t had a war for more than a hundred years, and hasn’t everyone turned into soldiers? Whether there is a war or not doesn’t affect our confidence in military development, even if it’s used to show off and stimulate It’s okay to visit the neighbors, what do you think?”
Guri nodded: “Okay, let’s find a place to have a cup of tea and eat some biscuits to be more enjoyable.”
“Don’t be discouraged.” An Feng smiled, “I wanted to wait for a while, but now I show you in advance, there is a very good toy.”
“Toy?”
…
Guli got on the 4×4 military off-road vehicle that Jeep had just designed for the army, drove from the army base on the highway, and drove towards the base of Anshi Industry.
The mystery was quickly revealed, and the robot pushed the plane out of the warehouse.
Guli got out of the car and looked at it with wide eyes: “Wing-body fusion drone?”
“That’s right.” An Feng said, in front of him was a triangular-shaped drone with a very post-modern appearance.
“When was it developed?” Gu Li was curious.
“Five or six years ago, the progress was slow.” An Feng didn’t explain too much, “Let’s take a closer look at it. The variable cycle engine equipped with this guy can adjust the engine duct to improve different flight states and speeds. , save fuel and fly fast.”
“I know the variable cycle, but it is not big, how much is the fastest? What about the range?”
It seems that there is understanding, An Feng omitted the basics: “The fastest test can reach Mach 5, and the range is limited by the volume, about 1200 kilometers. It doesn’t matter, it’s a small country.”
“You mean, it has a strong combat capability?” Guri said.
“Now every major country is showing off the sixth-generation aircraft, and my small country can only order it directly.” An Feng said, “It carries a small amount of ammunition, at most four medium-range air-to-air or open-ground, or six infrared combat ammunition The advantage is that it can take off from a 300-meter runway, and the ejection takeoff distance is shorter.”
“It can also be used to defend the country.”
“Actually, I use it for more fun purposes, such as simulated air combat games.”
Guri was stunned. The purpose of developing such a beautiful plane is to play games?
“Didn’t you say it was too boring?” An Feng looked at him.
“Well, I’ve convinced you.” Gu Li was unable to complain, “Then tell me, does it have the ability to participate in air combat?”
An Feng said: “Look at the simulated confrontation with the computer first. After you and I learn to drive, you can also participate in the confrontation with the robot, or everyone.”
They returned to the simple headquarters… It was actually a laboratory of Anshi Industry. There was a three-meter-high large screen inside, showing images outside the airport. There were only a few employees in the laboratory busy in front of the computer. After An Feng sat down, , Aircraft testing begins.
The triangular drone accelerates on the runway and takes off into the sky.
Five minutes later, the second drone took off into the sky. The big screen is divided into three areas. The left side is the main vision of the first plane, the middle is various data monitoring, and the right side is the second plane’s. The data in the middle shows that they are separated by about a hundred kilometers, and the confrontation begins.
“The whole process is controlled by computers.” An Feng said to Gu Li, “but their combat thinking is no less than that of humans.”
Guli stared at the screen, and the last one, that is, the No. 2 plane took the initiative to attack. It turned on the radar and began to scan the surrounding aircraft, because at a distance of 100 kilometers, no matter whether it is the naked eye or the camera on the plane, the opponent is completely invisible. Radar is the key.
While No. 1 aircraft kept its radar off, when No. 2 scanned it, No. 1 aircraft’s passive radar gave an early warning, and it immediately selected anti-radiation missiles to launch—the target was aimed at a target emitting strong radar radiation waves in the distance. The No. 2 machine, which attacked first, was chased by missiles instead.
“It’s not safe to use the radar!” Gu Li said.
“Not necessarily.” An Feng said.
After aircraft No. 1 launched an anti-radiation missile, the fire control radar of aircraft No. 2 locked aircraft No. 1, and the air-to-air missile was launched.
The anti-radiation missile came near the No. 2 aircraft, visible to the naked eye. The No. 2 machine immediately released the signal jamming bomb, and at the same time performed a set of evasive actions. The missile chasing the No. 2 aircraft was interfered and hit the decoy target, showing an explosion, but because it was a simulation, there was no actual warhead.
The anti-radiation missile of the No. 1 aircraft missed, but it was always locked by the fire control radar of the No. 2 aircraft, and the trajectory of the air-to-air missile was constantly corrected. Dive down, then turn over and lift the nose, the fuselage rotates… The overload at that moment reached 13 G-enough to disintegrate an ordinary aircraft and kill the pilot, but it is a drone!
At that moment, it made the incoming missile unable to keep up with the change of flight direction, and the missile lost its target. The variable-cycle engine of the plane was adjusted, and it accelerated to chase the enemy plane. The second anti-radiation missile was launched. At the same time, it prepared infrared combat bombs, preparing for a close combat.
“Wonderful!” Gu Li exclaimed. He originally thought that a certain side would definitely be destroyed, but he didn’t expect the robot’s thinking to be so delicate.
An Feng said: “So I say this is a very fun air combat game, and the opponent is on nightmare difficulty.”
