Chapter 4497: The pilots of Lockheed Martin

South Korea, Xinzheng, Supreme Command.

"The lease report of the Admiralty Department is very good. In this case, it will give us a good solution to solve most of the naval warships." Han Shu said, the lease report of the Admiralty has caused Taking Han Shu's interest, she believes that under the current situation, they can rely on lease to do many things that the Navy could not do before, which is extremely beneficial to them.

"Yes, Lord, the Loma people are unlikely to have a lot of financial funds to support them in doing this. From this point of view, they do not have such a great ability to do such things. But from another point of view If we can help them solve this problem, we will put them in a favorable situation. In this way, many of their problems will actually be solved very well.” Zhang Liang said.

"Well. It is true. For now, renting is the only cheapest way for them. If such things cannot be achieved, many things will not be able to be effectively developed. We should clearly pay attention to such things. The matter is up. But we can provide the other party with a large number of weapons on loan to support such operations." Han Shu said.

"However, my lord, with regard to the issue of weapons rental, we can't rent everything like this. We still have to restrict some arms and equipment, otherwise, it will cause a large-scale armament in the entire Mediterranean region. Competition." Zhang Liang said.

"In fact, this has caused a huge arms race. Under such a situation, many things are actually in an extremely unfavorable situation. Under such a situation, we only have limited weapons. Control is nothing more than that." Han Shu said. Her subtext is that in terms of weapon output, they still don't have to worry too much. After all, many things are actually not left to them.

Zhang Liang was very helpless, he was always bold for the king who knew them. Do things, naturally have their own ideas.

"How is the situation of the Loma people?" Han Shu then asked.

"They are still worrying about their navy funding. Lockheed Martin has issued their own bonds. The main force of purchase is the civilians, most of them are newly liberated civilians. Without the support of these civilians, many things are actually We should pay attention to this situation. In fact, many things are unfolding a little bit in such an unfavorable situation, which affects the development and changes of the situation.” Zhang Liang explained.

"Well. We should understand such a thing. After all, their economy was developed under the threat of war. For them, the threat of Carthage and Hannibal was only limited to the light infantry combat blockade, because they The necessary firepower is lacking, so the threat to those cities is not too great. If Hannibal had some heavy artillery, the situation might not have watched the Roma develop under such a situation." Han Shu Speaking of this. It seems that she is sympathetic to the other person doing this. This has caused some unsuitable situations to occur, and in fact, this is also the case in the region. If such things hadn't happened, maybe he would not have such situations.

Sicily. By the sea, most of the ships here are wooden ships, and there are also some iron-clad ships, but most of them are converted from armed merchant ships. Those ships are all second-hand smuggled merchant ships purchased by Aijiren, and the cost of modification is even more expensive than the price of buying warships. But there is no way. The funding provided by the Senate to Scipio was very poor, and he could only get some military expenses through constant donations.

In order to re-establish Loma’s navy and fulfill Scipio’s wish, Scipio’s wife took the lead in selling her jewelry. Such a move led to a series of fundraising actions by the noble ladies. But such behavior is a drop in the bucket.

"I heard that your wife donated all the jewelry in." Han Kui asked Scipio as he looked at the sea.

"Yes, but this can't solve some problems. The money can only buy some dilapidated warships at most, and the fundamental problem can't be solved much." Scipio said worriedly.

"But without warships, we simply can't reach Africa. In this case, the entire combat operation will be in an extremely unfavorable situation. This situation is too unfavorable for us. We need to properly give such things to us. Solved. This is too difficult for us." Scipio said.

Landing operations require enough warships and ships, and they need to ensure that they have control of the sea and the control of the air. It is too difficult to obtain these. Many things will form a great disadvantage to us. Under such circumstances, Scipio’s military expenditure wants to achieve this point. It is very large. This will almost consume Roma’s financial income for more than ten years. Unless they are crazy, otherwise, it is impossible for them to provide such a large amount of funds to do such a thing. Because of this, it is obviously impossible to achieve such an effect.

"Our Admiralty sent a telegram that we can use some lease methods to get some warships. In this case, we don't spend much. You can get warships. If warships are lost, you need to compensate." Han Kui said. To. Then he gave the telegram in his hand to the other party.

Scipio looked at the telegram in surprise. He thinks this is very good news.

"For other weapons, I think we can also consider such a way. For example, we can consider renting some better weapons and equipment." Han Kui said.

"Well. I think it can be done. It would be better if you could rent industrial equipment." Scipio said.

"Things need to be done step by step. Don't be too anxious. Otherwise, we won't be able to start many things." Han Kui said. He can understand the feelings of the other party, but under such conditions, in order to achieve such an effect, they still need to do it step by step. Otherwise, they are too anxious and many things cannot be carried out. At that time, because they were too anxious, it was not conducive to the development of the next step. This was what they could have achieved, but they were behind a lot of time.

"I understand this. Let's go. Let's take a look over there and see how the flight bombing situation over there is. I have asked them to carry out relevant training. In this case, I believe that it will not take long before we will It can bomb Africa." Scipio said excitedly. But Han Kui remained very cautious about this, or in other words, he felt that Scipio did a little too far.

Lockheed Martin Army Aviation. They have a total of twelve airships. But it can fly. There are only eight ships. The rest need to replace a large number of parts. Even some core components. But this is enough for these newly established Roman aviation forces.

From the initial basic training to now, they can basically fly around the island for a week. This result is very good. They are still flying. But in reality, this is still not enough. On the islands, they can navigate on the ground along the coastline and move forward, but in the vast ocean, they can't find their goal at all. There is also no reference. This will have a great impact on the bombing, but Loma did not conduct a series of training in this area. Even if they flew to New Carthage, no. The Loma people have never encountered such a situation.

And all of a sudden let so many recruits fly to such a difficult place, sometimes. Han Kui felt that this was a joke with the life of an aviation pilot. But that's a joke. They also feel they can proceed. After all, such a thing does not have a great impact on them. Their chief can accept it.

Pilots are still a dangerous profession for Loma people. Because accidents can happen at any time. Less than half of the first fifty pilots survived. In the first training, they lost more than a dozen people, and then some flying operations. As long as there is a little mistake, such a loss will appear all at once. As you can imagine, many things will actually become extremely unfavorable.

The situation of the war will be very terrifying.

Therefore, in the recruitment of the second batch and the third batch of pilots. The Loma used a large number of civilians who had just been liberated. They showed great interest in flying, and they did a lot of things very well. In such a situation, many things will actually be done very beneficially. Under such circumstances, many of them have become much more advantageous. Because they have plenty of substitutes that can be sacrificed.

But their training still has big problems. These problems are concentrated in the flight tutorials they use, because they have never carried out a large-range bombing mission. In the course of such a task, any accident could happen, but Scipio remained extremely optimistic about this, as if he had already done it. Prepare these people for sacrifice from the beginning.

Thinking of this, Han Kui felt very sorry for these pilots. They have big dreams of flying, but what happened. If they do not get better development, all kinds of irrational situations will naturally occur. Accidents, and all kinds of accidents, will cause them heavy losses.
