LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 50
The Century Strategic Transport is the top strategic transport aircraft in the Red Alert Base.
Although it is only the first generation, its performance has almost reached the level of strategic transport aircraft in the 1950s.
You know, it is only May 1933 now.
It has an extremely large and slender fuselage, equipped with four piston engines with a power of 4,000 horsepower.
This is almost the limit of aviation piston engines.
These four high-power piston engines are wrapped in the fairing.
Equipped with such a powerful engine, its performance is naturally extremely powerful.
The maximum take-off weight even reaches the level of 90 tons.
The load capacity is also far higher than the bandicoot transport aircraft, reaching 32 tons.
The maximum flight speed is 500 kilometers per hour and the cruising speed is 380 kilometers per hour.
Although its speed is a bit slow, it has a range of up to 8,000 kilometers.
It already has the ability of intercontinental transportation. The reason why
Jiang Fan has not equipped this transport aircraft is that it is very expensive.
Secondly, there is no demand for long-distance transportation.
Generally speaking, the bandicoot transport aircraft is enough.
Moreover, this aircraft is too large and has high requirements for runways.
An airport must be built specifically for it.
Just one aircraft requires 250,000 yuan. It is only 50,000 yuan less than the Century Strategic Bomber.
It is also one of the most expensive aircraft of the Red Alert.
However, now that they are urgently reinforcing the Guangxi clique, they can't care about anything else.
Jiang Fan waved his hand and directly spent 1 million yuan to produce 4 aircraft.
In addition to the establishment of a mountain infantry division, it cost almost 4 million yuan.
He had to continue to accumulate funds to supply the needs of the Shenyang Campaign.
As for the Guangxi clique, as long as the sub-base is in place, there is no need to worry about funds.
The funds of the sub-base and the main base are shared.
And there is another sub-base that is about to arrive in Bei'an.
There are also rich mineral resources there.
A million yuan a day will no longer be a dream.
In the future, we must set up a special foreign resource sub-base so that we don't have to collect domestic resources.
It is wonderful to use foreign resources to develop bases and the Red Alert Corps.
The next day, the Red Alert Corps organized a large fleet of transport aircraft to urgently transport military supplies to Guangxi.
A total of 30 bandicoot transport planes were deployed this time, which is all the bandicoot transport planes currently equipped, just the size of a brigade.
A total of more than 500 tons of equipment, ammunition and supplies were loaded.
Guangxi has been urgently building a field military airport.
Basically, each plane can transport one flight a day.
500 tons a day, this is a lot of support for the Guangxi clique.
The fleet landed at the military airport in Nanning again.
They came here for a deal before.
But this time, both sides have become their own people.
"Deputy Commander Bai, please check the list that was transported this time."
This time, it was still Jiang Jian who came to hand over.
However, Bai Chongxi's identity this time became the deputy commander of the Red Alert Corps.
Bai Chongxi took a look at the list, and although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.
The number of M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles seen before was as high as 50,000, with 10 million rounds of bullets.
The number of MG42 general-purpose machine guns was 5,000, with 10 million rounds of bullets.
The Red Alert Corps had a variety of military uniforms, totaling 500,000 sets.
Heavy machine guns, submachine guns, three types of mortars and other weapons and equipment were all available.
Jiang Fan also fulfilled his promise and was indeed on par with the Red Alert Corps.
In addition, there was the artillery that he paid the most attention to.
There are 200 105mm Krupp howitzers, 72 150mm Krupp howitzers, and 36 155mm field cannons.
The total number of various shells exceeds 200,000.
However, these weapons and equipment were not shipped all at once.
Instead, they were delivered in multiple batches.
When Li Zongren saw this list of weapons aid, he was shocked.
He knew that Jiang Fan was very generous, but he didn't expect him to be so generous.
"I, Li Zongren, have been in the army for decades and have never fought such a rich war.
With these equipments, why should I be afraid of the 300,000-strong army of the National Army? I can fight even 500,000."
Although this is a bit exaggerated.
After all, it is not the weapons but the people that determine the war.
No matter how good the weapons are, they are useless if the people are not good.
However, the combat effectiveness of the Gui army has always been very strong. As long as they are well-coordinated, their combat effectiveness will be improved by several levels.
At the same time, an inconspicuous merchant ship set off from Jinzhou Port under the flag of England.
It was loaded with a sub-base.
The destination was naturally Fangchenggang, Guangxi.
Baise has the largest bauxite mine in the country, with a total reserve of more than 1 billion tons, accounting for one-third of the country's total reserves.
There are 32 other kinds of mineral resources.
For example, coal mines are as high as 600 million tons, and even an oil field.
Although it is a small oil field, it also has a reserve of tens of millions of stews.
With the mineral base of Baise, it is basically easy to break through the one million daily funds.
While the Red Alert Corps is assisting the Guangxi clique.
The preparations for the war have basically reached the final stage.
Three mechanized infantry divisions, an armored division, a heavy artillery division, and a train artillery regiment, the total force has barely exceeded 100,000.
