Om...

In the sky, five planes lined up in a straight line and quickly passed through the southern sky, and then stopped at the military base outside Gephratidu.

As the actual combat video of the federal aircraft was exposed, the Gefla people also accelerated their research on the aircraft.

In fact, these things are not difficult. The only difficult thing is to study randomly without a direction at the beginning. Once there is an accurate direction, with the blessing of national power, the aircraft project will soon make considerable progress.

After more than a hundred different prototypes crashed, they finally found the most suitable, safest and most stable design they thought was the most suitable, and began to try small-scale mass production.

Seeing these planes landed smoothly, the mechanics swiftly stepped forward to check the condition of these plane components. The data quickly gathered together and became a table.

Under the explanation of a scientist, the Secretary of the Army understood that the performance of these aircraft had reached their ideal level.

With a round-trip flight distance of 120 kilometers, carrying five 150-pound explosives, or carrying a 620-pound torpedo, the strength and flexibility of the aircraft has gradually shocked people's hearts.

Despite the fact that the number of aircraft carried is not large, the number of aircraft can be large. Compared with expensive battleships, the cost of aircraft is almost nothing.

Moreover, the construction period is shorter, and an assembly line for producing cars can be mass-produced after modification.

The price is low, the output is high, and the production speed is fast. Even if its firepower is not particularly strong, it has become the most important development direction of Gefra.

Because the aircraft needs to take off on land, the entire aircraft project is now allocated to the Secretary of the Army for management.

The Secretary of the Army, who hadn't had any outstanding results, finally relaxed, but soon the smile on his face subsided.

He heard that the Secretary of the Navy is persuading the Prime Minister to set up the Air Force alone and transfer the aircraft from the Army.

Thinking of this, the Secretary of the Army couldn't help but want to swear to greet the Secretary of the Navy's family, especially his wife.

He can imagine that once the position of the aircraft in the war surpasses the navy, more resources will be tilted to his side. That **** would rather not let him get any benefits, which is really disgusting.

With the data, the minister of the navy returned to the ruler's hall, and the emperor of Gevlar, all the ministers, were waiting for the result.

When these people knew that the result had met their minimum requirements, everyone was relieved. This is a good thing. At least on the issue of airplanes, the Gevlars were not too far away from the Federation.

When Emperor Gevlar was considering rewarding the Secretary of the Army with something to thank him for his contribution to the Empire during this time, the Secretary of the Navy suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, Your Excellency..." The latter is the name given to the Prime Minister. As a prime minister with real power, even the emperor must respect each other's opinions and attitudes in the power that the Prime Minister now holds.

Even at some point, what the emperor said may not be as effective as what the prime minister said.

Putting your Majesty in the front is just out of respect for the royal family and maintaining the decency of the royal family.

"...Although our first phase of the plan has been successfully completed, in fact I don't think it is of much value to us."

In a word, the ruler's hall suddenly became quiet, and even the army minister who was a little dissatisfied closed his mouth and looked at him quietly.

The Secretary of the Navy continued, "The farthest you can fly back and forth to 120 kilometers away, gentlemen, the farthest is only 120 kilometers. If you don’t consider recycling, it can only fly to more than 200 kilometers. Outside."

"I would like to ask everyone, how far are we from Ameria, how far are we from the nearest mainland, and can our planes fly over and perform military strikes and then return?"

One sentence made everyone unable to speak, because taking off from the mainland of Gefra, there is a distance of more than 500 kilometers to the nearest mainland. In other words, the value of these aircraft seems to be limited to flying within the island.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the Secretary of the Navy continued, "It is not like our fleet. As long as our fleet can be supplied, it can continue to sail and continue to sail around the world."

"The plane can't. It can't land anytime and anywhere. It has strict requirements for the take-off and landing environment, and these are exactly what we can't give it."

"If these problems are not resolved, the aircraft can only be used as a last resort."

The sudden change in the position of the Secretary of the Navy was unexpected to everyone. Some time ago he was still clamoring for independence and the establishment of the Imperial Air Force.

As a result, as soon as he turned his head, he shouted the argument that "the air force was useless", which made it unclear what he was thinking.

The Prime Minister thought carefully, and the emperor seemed to be in a daze.

After a while, the Prime Minister spoke, "What you said makes sense, but our technology is always improving. Maybe in a few years, it will be able to fly farther."

"Three hundred kilometers, five hundred kilometers, or even one thousand kilometers, it's like the speed of a car."

"When the first car was invented, it had a speed of less than 20 kilometers per hour, but the current racing car can run at a high speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and multiple changes did not take much time."

"The airplane may be the same. It won't be long before it can fly directly to other continents."

"We still have plenty of time to wait for the advancement of science and technology, and at least for a few years, there will be no more wars."

The Prime Minister's words have been recognized by many people. The continuous development of technology has made many things "speed up". This is an indisputable fact.

But the Secretary of the Navy didn't seem to be knocked down by the Prime Minister's words, but smiled on his face, which was a confident smile.

"I have a very good solution!" His voice suddenly improved a lot, and the whole ruler's hall was full of his echo.

His Majesty's expression finally changed, and he was a little curious. He lowered his head and looked at the Minister of the Navy, as if he was guessing what he was going to say.

At this time, the Secretary of the Army was holding on to the armrest of the chair tightly, and he realized that this female cousin must have a conspiracy!

The Secretary of the Navy moved his fingers, and his subordinates sent some documents to the hands of every minister, including the hands of the Secretary of the Army, the Prime Minister and His Majesty the Emperor.

"What is this...?" The Prime Minister picked up the document and asked the Secretary of the Navy, "What is on this, a wooden board?"

"No, this is a new type of warship, I call it a'sea fortress', it will truly change the war!"

Next, the Secretary of the Navy introduced the warship in a fanatical tone, and let people understand its special features.

It does not have any offensive capabilities, it is not capable of causing terrible devastating blows like battleships, and it does not even have naval guns.

Its sailing speed is not very fast, it can be said that it is very slow, no faster than the speed of the submarine when it dives.

But it has an advantage, that is, it can provide a runway for aircraft to take off and land!

This design originated from his complaint, because all aircraft-related projects were allocated to the Army, which caused the Army’s military expenditure to skyrocket.

The Secretary of the Navy complained that the Secretary of the Army, who was just as wasteful, had actually picked up the bargain, so he tried his best to let the Air Force become an army independently, so that in the chain of contempt, the Navy still suppressed the army.

Then his subordinates suddenly asked a very stupid question-why not let the plane take off on the ship, anyway, the runway it needs is so long, not necessarily much longer than the largest battleship.

If there is a runway hanging next to the battleship, wouldn't it be possible to take off at sea?

The secretary of the Navy was very angry when the subordinate officials said such stupid words, but his anger had not brewed the doomsday scene of the volcanic eruption. Suddenly, it seemed that something had been stabbed into the nostril, and it was stabbed into the brain along the nostril. Here, the whole person is transparent.

He didn't know how to say the word transparent in the words of this world. In short, it was like the air could be blown into his brain when he breathed, and the whole person was "cool".

Then he found the engineer of the shipping company and said his thoughts. The engineer of the shipping company gave him a design sketch and ensured the authenticity of the sketch.

They will then conduct a modeling experiment to test the stability of this design in the ocean.

Whether it is possible or not, this is a huge opportunity for the Secretary of the Navy.

If the aircraft can be transferred from the War Department to its own Navy Department, then the army has no hope of surpassing the navy in this life, and the navy will have the ability to carry aircraft at long distances, and it will have the ability to attack the target inland outside the coast. Military strike capability.

This also means that the empire's dependence on the army will further decline!

They can form a team like the Federal Marine and Land Strike Force to replace the role of the army~lightnovelpub.net~ and finally merge the army into the navy!

Whenever he thinks of the Secretary of the Army becoming his subordinate, he is very happy depending on his face.

Everyone was watching these sketches seriously. The Secretary of the Army's heartbeat began to speed up, his face flushed, he slammed the sketches into a ball, threw them on the ground, and patted the handrail heavily, "This is impossible!"

"The wind and waves on the sea are very strong, and there is no possibility of taking off on an insufficiently stable deck. This is murdering the lives of soldiers of the Imperial Air Force and the future of the Air Force!"

At this time, the Secretary of the Army, in order not to allow the Air Force to be assigned to the Navy Department, he even proactively called out the word "air force", which also meant that he began to support the Air Force's independence as an army.

The Prime Minister coughed, "This is the Hall of Rulers. In front of Your Majesty, you shouldn't be so presumptuous. This plan..."

"My Majesty and I need more evidence to prove its feasibility. As for the future of the Air Force..."

The Prime Minister was silent for a while. "You can discuss and choose a candidate for the Secretary of the Air Force. Maybe we will need him soon."
