    "According to the main fighters in service, from the previous Zero fighter to the current BF109 and FW190 fighters, among these three fighters, except for the Zero fighter, which has a very long range, up to 3,000 kilometers away,  The current two active combat aircraft have a range of less than 1,000 kilometers, and the farthest fw190 fighter only has a range of more than 800 kilometers.

    Our country has a lot of long-range bombers. From B17, B24, and B29, these three bombers have very long ranges. The B17 heavy bomber with the closest range has a range of more than 3,000 kilometers.  The B24 and B29 bombers are even more than 5,000 kilometers away.

    The current problem is that once our country's heavy bombers go out to perform a mission, no fighter jet can escort them throughout the entire process.  It can only be escorted in multiple stages.  And once the heavy bombers have to perform missions across the ocean, our country will lack fighter escorts, so now our Air Force Ministry is preparing to develop a long-range fighter.

    It¡¯s just that we currently lack funding and technical personnel support. We hope that the commission can allocate a batch of special funds and personnel for our research and development.  "

    Liu Suigang looked at Zhou Weiguo and said with a straight face.

    "Long-range fighter?"

    Zhou Weiguo did not speak after hearing this, but slowly began to think deeply.

    After a while, Zhou Weiguo said: "Does your Air Force Ministry have any requirements for long-range fighter jets?"

    Liu Suigang was a little surprised. This time Zhou Weiguo did not agree, but asked what he wanted.  You know, in the past, many times, as long as your request was legitimate, it was basically asking for money to give money and people to give to others.

    This is the first time Zhou Weiguo has rejected his subordinates like this.

    But since Zhou Weiguo said it, Liu Suigang also recalled the results of the discussion at the Air Force Ministry in his mind.

    "We require that the combat radius of long-range fighter jets should not be less than 1,500 kilometers, the maximum take-off weight should not be less than five tons, the maximum speed should not be less than 650 kilometers per hour, and the practical ceiling should not be less than 10,000 meters.  The maximum rate of climb has to be less than 15 meters per second"

    Zhou Weiguo¡¯s face looked a little strange, because when he heard Liu Suigang¡¯s words, he remembered the history of the final development and transformation of the Mustang fighter jet in history.

    Historically, Citigroup has been lacking a fighter aircraft that can accompany the B17 and B29 heavy bombers as escorts, and subsequently began the development of the Mustang fighter.

    At the beginning, the Mustang fighter still used Citi engines, and its performance could only be considered mid-range. Later, it was replaced with Geely engines, and its performance suddenly soared, making it one of the world's most famous fighters.

    Now Liu Suigang has proposed that the original intention of such a fighter is to provide escort, just like the historical Mustang, and the data requirements are similar.

    In fact, it is normal to think about it. They are both requirements for escorting heavy bombers such as B17 and B19, so the difference is naturally not too big.

    "Your demands are really not low!"

    Zhou Weiguo smiled and shook his head.

    "Commissioner, can't this plan be implemented?"

    Liu Suigang frowned. To be honest, this is also the biggest shortcoming of the Chinese Air Force.  As far as pure process and medium-range air combat is concerned, China doesn't have much of a problem.  But once long-range air combat is designed, the Chinese Air Force seems to be somewhat unable to succeed, and even somewhat powerless.

    ? ? BF109 and FW190 fighters, these are two short legs.

    "Let's do this! I'll tell you a way. You go down and try, maybe you can make other discoveries!"

    When Zhou Weiguo told Liu Suigang his solution, Neon was suffering a devastating disaster.

    ? One B29 heavy bomber continues to drop aerial bombs one after another into the neon cities and factories.

    In the explosions, countless neon people died.

    In the morning, it was originally time to go to work and a day full of hope, but for Neon today, this is their most desperate day.

    Factories, schools, military areas with military signs, etc. are all targets of their bombing.

    The neon lights were wailing and the earth was crying. Under the cover of carrier-based aircraft, the bombers launched bombings at an altitude of less than a thousand meters.

    Many unopposed carrier-based aircraft also flew over factories, schools, and streets at a polar altitude.

    Aerial machine gun bullets continued to hit the crowd running on the street.

    A bomb was dropped on the neon land without any pressure.

    The bombing continued. On July 13, the whole day of bombing put great pressure on Neon.

      Neon's planes want to take off to intercept, but they are always restrained by Chinese carrier-based aircraft or Chinese fighter jets in the Fukuoka and Hirado areas.

    In the afternoon, the scorching sun finally began to slowly set in the west, and the scorching temperature began to slowly drop.

    Ishihara walked on the street with Itagaki and the four wolves.

    Today¡¯s Neon City suffered a particularly heavy bombing.

    Today, a hundred B29 heavy bombers visited here and dropped 900 tons of aerial bombs.

    The nine-hundred-ton aerial bomb caused great damage to Neon City. Firefighters are now everywhere on the streets putting out the fire and rescuing Neon people.

    Many people were kneeling on the ground with their eyes blank, and more or less a corpse was placed in front of them.

    There were many children crying loudly on the corpses in front of them, while some parents were holding their children there in pain.

    At this moment, no one understands the pain in the hearts of these neon people. Maybe the Chinese people understand, because they have also suffered such treatment, or even more painful treatment than this.

    "Itagaki-kun, do you think we can win this battle?"

    When Ishihara saw this scene, his cheeks couldn't help but tremble.  Unexpectedly, China's bombing came so violently this time.

    Today many big cities in Neon have suffered heavy bombings.

    Capital City suffered twice, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

    Fifty bombers each time, but it was these fifty bombers that caused them such harm.

    "Ishihara-kun, this doesn't look like your character?"

    Hearing his friend¡¯s words, Itagaki Seishiro, who is now the Minister of War, turned to look at him and said.

    ¡°Not like my character?¡±

    Ishihara was stunned for a moment before smiling bitterly: "This is not a problem that can be explained by character. Our losses this time are too great. I heard that all major factories across the country have suffered from China's bombing. Our industrial capacity is rapidly increasing.  Descend. If our aviation cannot gain air superiority, China can drag us to death even if it drags us!"

    After hearing this, Itagaki's four wolves said with hatred: "Even if the empire is going to fail, I will bite off a piece of their flesh. They are too overbearing!" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
