Chapter 203: 38 Years, New Year Gift Package
Chapter 203: 38 Years, New Year Gift Package
Time flies like a white horse, and it is gone in a flash. The last two long yet short months passed quietly.
The wheel of time rolls forward, and in the blink of an eye it is already the year 1938.
At this moment, Qin Ruihua was sitting leisurely on a comfortable and soft sofa, asking the system: "Master System, where is this year's annual gift package?"
As soon as the voice fell, a clear and pleasant prompt sound quickly sounded.
Immediately afterwards, a cold mechanical voice echoed in Qin Ruihua's mind.
[Host, please be patient. The New Year gift packages are being distributed...]
[The rewards include 500 tons of gold, 100 Stratofortresses, 2,000 officers, 30,000 soldiers, 1,000 teachers, and more than 5 million tons of steel.]
Hearing such a generous reward, Qin Ruihua couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.
However, the only drawback was that the scientist he had been longing for did not appear on the award list this time.
However, when he saw the word "Stratofortress", his eyes suddenly lit up - could this be the legendary B-52 strategic bomber?
You know, this famous bomber is extremely powerful and is obviously superior to the strategic bombers owned by Yan Country today.
Faced with such an attractive prize, Qin Ruihua naturally would not neglect it.
He immediately began to arrange relevant matters to properly allocate and utilize these valuable resources.
At the same time, he also ordered scientists to go all out to conduct in-depth research on this batch of advanced bombers and strive to achieve the goal of imitation as soon as possible.
After all, compared with traditional propeller bombers, jet aircraft undoubtedly have more outstanding performance advantages.
Even if similar models are successfully developed in the future, the existing bombers will never easily withdraw from the stage of history.
Because they each have irreplaceable roles and values.
Under the pressure from Yan State, Dongyang State put all its efforts and raced against time to develop the Zero fighter they had always dreamed of.
After countless scientific researchers' hard work and efforts day and night, this fighter jet, which embodies everyone's hard work and expectations, was finally born.
It is expected to be officially put into use in just three months.
However, if Yan State were to learn of this news, they would probably simply sneer at Dongyang State's so-called Zero fighter and completely disdain it.
After all, considering Yan State's current military strength and aviation technology level, such a fighter jet is unlikely to attract their attention.
Dongyang's Zero fighters had great difficulty dealing with Yan's attack aircraft.
Although the air combat capabilities of these attack aircraft are not top-notch, they are more than enough to deal with the Zero fighters.
More importantly, this type of attack aircraft was not originally designed and manufactured to counter fighter jets.
Currently, the Yan State Army has two advanced fighter jets specifically designed for air-to-air combat.
One of them is the Ray Shark carrier-based fighter, which has become the guardian of the sky above the aircraft carrier formation with its outstanding performance.
The second is the Tianshen fighter equipped by the Air Force.
In addition, Yan Country also has an interceptor specifically designed to target bombers.
But obviously, compared with these top fighters, the Zero fighter is nothing but a dwarf and is not at the same level at all.
No matter in terms of speed, firepower or maneuverability, the Zero fighter has no advantage at all.
It can be said that once encountering any of the above-mentioned Yan Country fighters, the Zero Fighter will fall into an extremely passive or even desperate situation.
Lu Hangxuan, the Minister of Military Industry, hurried to where Qin Ruihua was, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me today?"
Qin Ruihua nodded slightly and held out his hand for him to sit down: "Minister Lu, what is the current status of our country's jet fighter development? When can we officially enter the large-scale mass production stage?"
Lu Hangxuan replied: "Your Majesty, if nothing unexpected happens, we can achieve the mass production goal in just five months!"
Hearing this answer, Qin Ruihua nodded with satisfaction, and then issued an order: "Very good, we must hurry up and successfully replicate the Stratofortress bomber."
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will do my best to fulfill my mission!" Lu Hangxuan responded.
Qin Ruihua then continued to ask: "So how many strategic bombers does our country have at this stage?"
After a brief thought, Lu Hangxuan replied, "According to your majesty's previous wise decision, 500 Yan-2 strategic bombers have been successfully manufactured."
Qin Ruihua frowned slightly and gave a decisive order: "We must speed up the progress. We must continue to produce until the total number reaches one thousand. As for whether we need to increase production in the future, we will decide based on the specific situation."
Lu Hangxuan quickly agreed and said that he would do his best to complete the task.
Then he asked: "Then may I ask Your Majesty, should the Yan-1 long-range bomber continue to be produced?"
Qin Ruihua waved his hand and said, "No need to produce more, because we already have attack aircraft with better performance to replace it. If there is nothing else important, you should return to your post as soon as possible."
"I will obey your command, Your Majesty! I will take my leave now." Lu Hangxuan bowed again and turned to leave.
Qin Ruihua watched Minister Lu's back gradually moving away until he disappeared, secretly thinking about various matters concerning Dongyang State.
This time, Dongyang State must be taught a profound lesson.
Time flies, and a short month is gone in a flash.
However, during this period of time, the world situation has undergone tremendous changes.
Prussia launched a lightning attack on Poland without any warning!
This sudden attack caught the Polish defense off guard. Although they tried their best to resist, they were ultimately unable to withstand Prussia's fierce offensive like a storm.
In less than half a month, the State of Bo had no choice but to surrender.
Prussia's swift and decisive action really shocked other countries, and they had no time to take any effective countermeasures.
For a time, the entire European continent fell into chaos and panic.
Various countries have come forward to strongly condemn Prussia's despicable behavior of wantonly trampling on the sovereignty of other countries and undermining peace and stability.
At the same time, the Northern Bear Kingdom also seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and occupied part of the territory of Poland in one fell swoop, and took the opportunity to sign a so-called "non-aggression treaty" with Prussia.
In this way, both sides got what they needed and temporarily reached a delicate balance.
When Qin Ruihua learned of this series of news, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It seems that this is why Prussia took such extreme measures.
It must be that the country is already in deep economic trouble and cannot escape it, so it has to divert people's attention by provoking war and creating conflicts.
In an attempt to ease the increasingly severe pressure and conflicts in the country.
