Chapter 308 The air show ended successfully and the base was upgraded again
The ancient country currently has three younger brothers.
The richest is undoubtedly the Nanyang Republic, followed by the Goryeo Republic, which had just gained independence, and the poorest is the Shan State controlled by the Long family father and son.
Nanyang has very rich natural and mineral resources.
This includes oil resources.
Borneo, the third largest island in the South Pacific Republic, has oil reserves of about 200 million tons.
In addition, the Nanyang Republic is currently the world's largest supplier of palm oil, rubber and fruit.
The ancient country also provided a large amount of loans to the Nanyang Republic.
So life is quite comfortable.
In addition to construction, the second use of money is to develop military strength.
Mr. Huang understands very well the importance of armaments in this era.
Although the Nanyang Republic has an ancient country as its support, its own strength also needs to keep up.
Currently, the Nanyang Republic's Southern Army has three branches: navy, army, and air force, with a total strength of more than 200,000 people.
Among them, the army has the strongest strength, with about 15 troops.
All weapons and equipment were purchased from ancient countries.
AK-47突击步枪、34式通用机枪、T-54主战坦克、M41轻型坦克、BMP-1步兵战车等一系列装备，让南军陆军成为世界装备一流的陆军。
The navy is also equipped with a Wuyue-class battleship and dozens of other large and small ships.
The air force is actually the weakest.
It's not because they don't want to develop their air force, but they are waiting for the opening of the air show.
So when the five major powers signed the orders, the Nanyang Air Force followed suit and signed a large order for 387 FC-86 jet fighters.
In addition to fighter jets, they also purchased a batch of seaplanes, helicopters, transport aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, patrol aircraft, etc.
The total value is over 8000 million US dollars.
This amount of money almost drained the Nanyang Republic's finances.
However, once their air force becomes combat-ready, they will become the most militarily powerful country in the South Seas region.
Although the Republic of Korea was relatively poor, it had abundant mineral resources.
Especially uranium, the reserves are very rich and the quality is extremely high.
The total reserves are more than 400 million tons, and part of it has been explored.
The reserves discovered so far alone would rank first in the world.
This thing must be in the hands of the ancient country.
The two sides also signed a uranium supply agreement to provide 3000-5000 tons of high-quality uranium to Cuba annually.
The ancient country also provided Goryeo with a low-interest loan of 5 million yuan with a term of 20 years, which was considered as a return of favor and at the same time supported the development of the Goryeo Republic.
This time, the Republic of Korea also set aside part of the funds to purchase jet fighters.
After all, the Korean Republic's old enemy 'Fusang' is still there, so the priority of developing armaments is also very high.
However, they cannot afford the expensive FC-86 as they are not as rich as the South Sea Republic.
So they only purchased 107 FC-15 jet fighters.
Shan State was undoubtedly poor, but the Long family father and son also understood the importance of jet fighters.
As long as it is deployed in Shan State, it can gain air superiority over neighboring countries.
So they gritted their teeth and bought 76 aircraft.
These three little brothers alone will contribute another 570 aircraft orders to the ancient country, with a total value of nearly million US dollars.
The order for nearly 3000 jet fighters directly prompted other countries to place orders.
More than ten countries in Western Europe, including Bireg, Magyarsk, Austria-Hungary, the Bore Republic, and Turkey, contributed orders for thousands of aircraft.
Until the end of the 7-day air show.
The two jet fighters have received a total of just over 7 orders worth more than $ million.
Based on an annual delivery volume of 1000 aircraft, it will take four years to complete the delivery of these orders alone.
Of course, this does not mean that this is the limit of fighter aircraft production.
If possible, the ancient country can build a few more factories at any time, and the annual output can reach four or five thousand aircraft.
It's just that there is no need for this.
Chengdu Aircraft Manufacturing Group and Shenyang Aircraft Industry Group are undoubtedly one of the biggest winners of this air show.
In addition, a dark horse emerged from among the many military-industrial enterprises.
This dark horse is the little-known Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Group.
Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Group was established at the same time as Shenzhou Aircraft.
However, the main business of Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Group is helicopters.
At present, Harbin Aircraft has completed the localization of many types of helicopters.
For example, the second-generation Twin Blade attack helicopter, the Hind general-purpose helicopter, the Nighthawk medium transport helicopter, the CH-46 medium multi-purpose helicopter, the CH-47 helicopter, the CH-53 heavy helicopter, etc.
At present, these helicopters have production lines and have been operating at a low speed.
Therefore, Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Group is the undisputed leader in the field of helicopters.
At this air show, they launched two series and a total of 8 helicopters.
They are military general-purpose helicopters and transport helicopters.
There are also small civilian general-purpose helicopters and medium-sized business helicopters.
These helicopters are currently still equipped with piston engines.
However, it brings the performance of the piston engine to its extreme.
The performance of these helicopters is also better than those currently equipped by various countries, and naturally they are also improved in performance compared to the helicopters sold before.
As a new type of aircraft, helicopters have attracted great interest from both the military and civilian sectors of various countries.
In just a few days, more than 2,000 helicopters of various types were sold, with a total value of over 100 million US dollars.
Changan Aviation Industry Group is also not willing to lag behind and has launched four transport aircraft.
Two primary schools, one middle school and one heavy school.
Small general transport aircraft, small seaplane.
The highlights are the medium transport aircraft named CA-8E and the CA-10 heavy transport aircraft.
The power systems of both transport aircraft use turboprop engines.
The CA-10E heavy transport aircraft uses four engines, each with 4000 horsepower.
The maximum flight speed is 720 kilometers per hour, the maximum range is 6000 kilometers, and the payload is 20 tons.
Compared with the C-141 strategic jet transport aircraft and the An-80 strategic transport aircraft with a load capacity of 22 tons currently equipped by the Air Force, it can only be regarded as a medium-sized transport aircraft.
But in the world, it can be said to be a heavy transport helicopter and can even be used as a strategic transport aircraft.
When these two transport aircraft were launched, many countries were interested in them.
Even John and Citi began to place orders silently.
The total order volume for the two transport aircraft has exceeded 100.
In addition to selling equipment, air shows also have another function, which is to show off muscles.
As a heavyweight player that flexes its muscles, the B-52 strategic bomber is undoubtedly the first.
This strategic bomber has appeared in international media more than once.
After all, it appeared many times in the war, including the strategic bombing of the Korean Peninsula.
Therefore, this model has already been known to the outside world a long time ago, and there is no need to hide it.
On the last day of the air show, the B-52 strategic bomber made its public debut at the Jianggang International Air Show as the finale.
This strategic bomber flew low over the air show like a Kunpeng spreading its wings.
In an instant, dark clouds covered the sky and a huge black shadow was moving at high speed on the ground.
Everyone who saw this large strategic bomber was stunned and shocked.
Just looking at the eight TF-8 turbofan engines it carries tells you how ferocious this aerial monster is.
The B-4 strategic bomber completed its flight mission under the escort of two F-52 Phantom fighter jets.
It did not choose to land on the runway and provide a static display to other countries.
As a strategic-level weapon, it would be enough to let them see it from a distance. There was no need to put it on the ground for them to see.
The appearance of the B-52 strategic bomber has a very good effect.
At this time, countries such as John, Citi, Gaul, Hans, and Tsarist Russia all deeply felt how big the gap was between them and the ancient country's air force.
They haven't even figured out jet engines yet.
The ancient country had already built a bomber of such a large size.
Even the largest aircraft in the West today is far less powerful than this jet bomber.
“It is simply a miracle in human industrial history.”
I don’t know who said this, but it has been recognized by many people.
The shock it brought was no less than the appearance of a 100,000-ton battleship.
In terms of level, both parties are at the same level.
At the air show, most of the ancient country's exhibitors signed orders to a greater or lesser extent.
Including the army and navy.
As for the Air Force, it is undoubtedly the protagonist of this air show.
The total value of orders received by aviation companies alone is over US$9 million.
The Navy also reaped great rewards, signing orders worth more than 200 million US dollars.
Dozens of cruisers, destroyers, minesweepers, patrol boats, submarines, etc. were sold.
The three retired Wuyue-class battleships were not sold.
The main reason is that there are no suitable sales targets.
Therefore, the Navy simply planned to transform these three Wuyue-class battleships into professional arsenal ships.
It is equipped with air defense missiles, cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, etc., and is used for air, land and sea strikes.
The Army's order is second only to the Navy, with an order value of approximately US$1.5 million.
The T-54 tank was not unexpectedly successful.
After all, the performance of the main battle tank is here.
More than 500 vehicles have been sold, and many countries have been interested in it.
This thing sells for $20 a piece, which is about the same price as a heavy tank.
However, in terms of combat power, it can communicate "face to face" with heavy tanks, and the cost-effectiveness is still very high.
As for other products, they are not selling very well.
The total transaction volume of this Jianggang International Airshow exceeded US$16 billion.
Compared with previous air shows, this transaction volume is completely overwhelming.
After all, in terms of business model, neither John nor Gaul is yet so mature.
Coupled with the support of jet fighters, it is very normal for the transaction volume to exceed 16 billion.
Moreover, this $16 billion is a very incredible amount even in the international context, and it can directly boost the ancient country's aviation industry.
You should know that the United States’ annual fiscal revenue is less than 100 billion US dollars.
The transaction volume of this air show alone is equivalent to one-fifth of the United States' fiscal revenue.
The success of this air show was somewhat beyond Jiang Hua's expectations.
Just the day after the air show ended, the base, which had been silent for a long time, finally underwent a long-awaited upgrade.
The progress directly soared from 97% to 100%, which seems to have a lot to do with this air show.
At this time, Jiang Hua began to recall the past.
It only took him about two years to go from a novice commander to a junior commander and then to a mid-level commander.
It took nearly three years to be promoted from a mid-level commander to a senior commander.
"Skynet, do you know how I've been through these past three years?"
At this moment, Jiang Hua was undoubtedly excited.
