Chapter 463 Fighter

"I hope my next tour of the Gryphon Peninsula will be by train."

The words His Majesty the Emperor left before leaving became the next direction of the Griffin Peninsula.

In an imperial country, it is obvious that the emperor's will is above all else.

The rest of the inspection process was a smooth journey.

After a killing, it was clear that the rats all recalled what the Empire's Iron Fist was.

All the chaos in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China has been wiped out.

Now is the period of rapid development of the empire, and Derek does not want to be interrupted by these monsters and monsters.

Taking advantage of being in the prime of life and still having the determination to make progress, it is natural to clear all obstacles in advance.

By the time we returned to Pulan City, it was already almost the New Year.

The roar of the machine has gradually faded away.

The sky in Pulan City gradually returned to blue.

The internal combustion engine began to appear on the stage. It is lighter and smaller, has higher heat utilization efficiency, and multiple oil fields have been discovered. This new machine has a brighter future.

It was only after Derek confirmed the ubiquity of oil that he started the era of the internal combustion engine.

Now, it's time to see the results.

At the same time, power technology also began to mature.

The first report he saw when he returned to the Imperial Capital was a verification report on the construction of a power plant.

From the necessity of construction, future prospects, and even costs, several departments worked together to make a complete verification.

Now we are waiting for His Majesty the Emperor's approval.

After all, although few people dare to say that this is a revolution, the cost is also terrifyingly high.

Now that the technology is immature, the price of a small experimental power plant is comparable to that of a battle cruiser.

For researchers, this level of funding is also very rare.

Derek read the report carefully, and in the following days, he continuously summoned relevant personnel for interviews and questioning.

After confirming its feasibility, he directly approved the additional support.

In fact, the Daxia Empire did not lack money or resources.

The inflow of resources from multiple colonies and even white countries is equally distributed to every citizen, making everyone live a very enjoyable life.

Coupled with the continuous improvement of domestic agricultural technology, the cultivated land area has gradually expanded, and various living species are extremely abundant.

Nowadays, with the technological gap, leeks can be harvested by relying on technological benefits. Moreover, the Daxia Empire is full of martial virtue. If it is impossible to force a wave of harvest, it is enough to survive well.

As for the Daxia royal family, it was not very large, and Derek's consumption of the country's financial resources was moderate.

A calm and wise ruler can make the right choice every time. It is not surprising that the country develops like cheating.

When the power plant quietly began construction outside the city of Pulan, another piece of good news caught Derek's attention.

After two years of research and improvement, the new fighter jet has finally been finalized.

It abandoned the original double-wing shape and adopted a single wing, a machine gun and propeller coordination device, a speed of 155km/h, and a cruising range of 2.5 hours.

Regarding aircraft, Derek's meager knowledge was no longer enough to provide any guidance.

However, the empire has formed a research system, with excellent engineers participating in design, testing, and finally putting it into practical use.

A research system with intact hematopoietic function has replaced the role of the individual.

Derek believes that this is the real wealth he brings to the world, rather than relying on the power of personal cheating to drag the entire society forward, or remaining complacent and sitting on the throne, which in turn brings technological development to a standstill. .

When in front of Derek, the fighter jet successfully took off and performed simple controls, ending with machine gun fire.

This represents another change in military history.

Virut accompanied him throughout the whole process. This weapon of war is obviously a piece of fat that makes people salivate.

According to their thinking, they would have to install thousands of them to barely cover the entire empire's airspace.

"Your Majesty, we will prepare the first sea and air division immediately and urgently train pilots." Virut looked at Derek excitedly. If it wasn't not allowed, he would have wanted to go up and give it a try himself.

But Derek poured cold water on him: "First approve the construction of fifty aircraft and form a Royal Air Force."

"Your Majesty, this is a powerful military weapon. How can fifty be enough?" Virut fought hard.

"Fifty aircraft are enough to train pilots, test tactics, and provide actual combat data for designers." Derek analyzed calmly and explained the reasons for his decision: "The empire's skies are not in danger, and there is no need for it yet. Maintain a large number of fighters.

With this money invested in research, more advanced aircraft, more combat modes, and even moving it to ships can be developed, which all require huge investments. "

Derek is very calm. Instead of investing huge sums of money in order to be big and beautiful, it is better to conduct test flights in small batches first.

There are no enemies in the sky of the empire today, so there is no need to maintain such armaments. It has nothing but good looks.

Virut calmed down, this thought did make sense.

He had just been carried away by the plane, and it was also his instinct to expand the strength of the military.

Now aware of a sensitive issue, he asked the emperor directly: "Is the Royal Air Group under the jurisdiction of the War Office?"

"No," Derek continued to pour cold water on him: "Excessive power may bring destruction. The power of the Army Department is already very great, and I don't want to split it again one day."

Even if he could see whether his subjects were loyal or not, Derek would not give up on improving the system.

Balance is also an important means to maintain people's hearts.

Otherwise, when the balance between forces is lost, it will also bring disaster.

This time, Virut was completely out of control.

He understood better than anyone that touching the taboo of imperial power would definitely not end well.

It was the duty of the Minister of the Army to expand the influence of the Army Department, but it was also his duty to protect himself and the Army Department itself.

He could not imagine what the result would be if the Army Department touched the monster of imperial power.

A smart subject needs to know his duty and then take the initiative to maintain this fragile political ecology.

The two of them decided in a few words that the sky belonged to a new organization called the Royal Air Force, which was established directly in the suburbs.

From the beginning, it was independently operated, financially independent, and only accepted the direct leadership of the royal family.

In terms of structure, this is another independent military department.

As long as there is a need, Derek can always upgrade the specifications of the Royal Air Force and become the Air Force Department.
