Li Weiguo noticed Hitra's existence, and also noticed the German Krupp 3 tank and Juncker 2 fighter jet.

Li Weiguo was suspicious of Hitra, but he was still not sure. At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin did not contact him again. He was unable to draw a conclusion if there were new people who had entered again.

Although Germany's Krupp three tanks have some bold innovations, they cannot control the land battlefield and cannot achieve a decisive role. As for whether Germany will develop a more powerful tank in a short period of time, Li Weiguo cannot judge for the time being, and can only make decisions depending on the situation.

The emergence of Germany's Juncker fighter jet made Li Weiguo feel a deep sense of urgency.

Originally, Li Weiguo decided to invest 15 fighter jets in the Washington battlefield, but he did not expect that European countries could successfully imitate so quickly and even boldly surpass 15 fighter jets.

The premature appearance of Juncker II fighter jet made Li Weiguo realize a serious problem, that is, it will not take long to use fighter jets to carry bombs to participate in the war, and even attacks on surface warships, and even aircraft carriers will appear.

After the outbreak of World War I in history, it took only three months to evolve from the first reconnaissance aircraft into a fighter, and only half a year to evolve from the first fighter into a bomber. The representative one is that Italian fighters carry bullets to attack the Austro-Hungarian Navy. Unfortunately, it failed and failed, so it did not attract enough attention from all countries.

However, the emergence of an aircraft carrier did not take much time.

Two years after the outbreak of World War I in history, Britain took the lead in converting the Furious into an aircraft carrier, which shows that European military experts have profound research on the future development of aircraft.

Just because of this, Li Weiguo has absolutely reason to believe that the current European parties have sufficient potential to rapidly develop air combat aircraft.

Therefore, Li Weiguo had to start production in advance by equipting the Army anti-aircraft artillery and naval anti-aircraft artillery that he had planned to be put into production after a few years and equipped it with the Chinese Emperor* team.

This is called being prepared for any danger. Li Weiguo didn't expect that one day when the enemy air force attacked the Chinese Empire, the navy and army of the Chinese Empire had no air defense capabilities.

Anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns are divided into naval and army types, among which the army-type anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns include two types, one is the towed anti-aircraft gun and the other is the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.

The towed anti-aircraft gun is the same as the various infantry artillery currently equipped by the Imperial Army. It is towing and deployed by trucks.

So far, the Royal Arsenal of the Empire of China has developed a total of 6 types of army-type anti-aircraft guns and 2 types of naval anti-aircraft guns.

Among them, the first type of army anti-aircraft gun, GSP-A, is 12.7 mm caliber. Strictly speaking, this is called anti-aircraft machine gun. However, in order to make it easier for soldiers to distinguish, the Royal Arsenal directly named it with a small-caliber anti-aircraft gun.

The gsp-A anti-aircraft gun has a length of 3850 mm, a barrel length of 1340 mm, a total weight of 150 kg, a test initial velocity of 930 to 955 meters per second, a theoretical rate of fire 550 to 600 rounds per minute, an actual test rate of fire is 80 rounds per minute, an effective range of 2000 meters (high-speed fire), 1000 meters (flat-fire), an ammunition box capacity of 80 rounds, and a Guanghuanian standard bullet is used, 12.7110 mm.

This is actually to lengthen the barrel of the lightning heavy machine gun currently used by the Imperial Chinese Army and lengthen the bullets, and then directly use it to fire in the air.

Of course, the lightning heavy machine gun can also shoot at the air, but the previous 12.7 mm bullets were short, with few charges, and the shooting distance to the air was limited.

After extending the barrel and bullet, the shooting height of 2,000 meters can actually be easily shot down the fighter jets currently equipped by various countries. Of course, the premise is that the aircraft dives. If the aircraft keeps flying at high altitudes, it is useless to exceed 2,000 meters.

In addition, bullets for high-fired weapons have special requirements, that is, after the bullet is out of the barrel, it will automatically explode at an altitude of 2,000 meters, or it will automatically explode after hitting an enemy plane, destroying the enemy plane. If it is an ordinary lightning heavy machine gun or rifle, after firing in the air, the bullet will not explode even if it can fly to a height of 2,000 meters. This will pose a threat to the people on the ground, because after the bullet reaches its highest point, the kinetic energy will be converted into gravity potential energy and will drop again. Even if the air resistance is included, the speed of the bullet when it returns to the ground is quite terrifying, and it can still kill people.

Obviously, after the heavy machine gun on our side fires into the air, the bullets will hurt our side's personnel.

It is too embarrassing to not hit the enemy plane, but instead hit one's own people indirectly.

Of course, Li Weiguo would not allow this situation, so he stipulated that the anti-aircraft ammunition should be automatically detonated to prevent accidental injury of his own people.

Looking at the whole world, countries are currently using heavy machine guns or even rifles to attack enemy aircraft in the air. They do not realize that the bullets fired by their heavy machine guns are likely to injure their own people.

Of course, in a battlefield environment, when fighting fiercely, even if one of his own soldiers was shot, no one would think that it was attacked by his own people, and would think that it was attacked by the enemy.

Historically, this was a problem that countries generally overlooked and was not corrected until during World War II.

gsp-A anti-aircraft gun belongs to the machine gun type, and is actually a transitional product of the lightning heavy machine gun from flat to high-fire.

Of course, because there is a market, Li Weiguo did not cancel the research and development and production of this weapon. According to his estimates, the GSP-A anti-aircraft gun can survive for at least twenty years. As long as it is not a jet aircraft, as for propeller fighters, this anti-aircraft gun can theoretically shoot down it.

Starting from the GSP-B anti-aircraft gun, it is a real anti-aircraft gun, with a caliber from 12.7 mm to 20 mm and a diameter of 100, allowing it to easily shoot shells to a height of 5,000 meters. When the German Juncker II fighter thought it was safe to fly to the maximum ceiling of 5,000 meters, it would be shot down by the GSP-B anti-aircraft gun.

The GSP-B anti-aircraft gun has another purpose, which is that when it shoots flat, it can penetrate 30 mm thick Chinese special steel within one kilometer, which means it can easily penetrate the two tanks of T and T25, and even the front armor of the German latest Krupp three tank.

The GSP-B anti-aircraft gun during flat firing is an anti-tank gun. Of course, it can be used as infantry attack firepower like cannons.

The shooting height of 5,000 meters cannot meet the requirements of the Emperor of China, especially Li Weiguo, who knew very well that in the middle and late stages of World War I in history, the fighter aircraft ceiling of various countries generally reached more than 8,000 meters.

When the GSP-B anti-aircraft gun is put into the battlefield, it will inevitably attract the attention of all parties. They will speed up the ceiling of the development of fighter jets, so as to increase them to airspace above 5,000 meters, and avoid being shot down when flying in a level.

This will surely stimulate countries to speed up the development of fighter jets with a height limit, which may break through the historical limit and directly increase from an altitude of 8,000 meters to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

All of these are very likely, so Li Weiguo naturally has to prepare for the future.

In response to Li Weiguo's warning, the Royal Arsenal launched the GSP-C and GSP-D anti-aircraft guns based on the first two anti-aircraft guns.

Among them, the GSP-C anti-aircraft gun has a caliber of 37 mm, with a total combat weight of 2,650 kilograms. It adopts a dual-equipped design. The gun body length is 2,740 mm and the body length is 15 mm. When using a 1.5 kg grenade, the initial velocity is 850 meters per second. When using a 1.45 kg armor-piercing projectile, the initial velocity is 880 meters per second, the maximum range is 8,500 meters, the effective inclination distance is 3,500 meters, the effective shooting height is 3,000 meters, the high and low shooting boundary is -10 degrees to 85 degrees, and it has a rotating chassis, which can shoot at all 360 degrees.

8,500 meters altitude is a pre-stipulated regulation by Li Weiguo. If history has not changed much, the maximum ceiling of fighter jets in various countries should reach the top of the peak at about 8,000 meters. As for the height of 10,000 meters, although it is possible, the possibility is not high. After all, the air at a height of 10,000 meters is thin, which is not suitable for the current Guoben fighter jets. It has too high requirements for pilots and is generally unlikely.

Therefore, the shooting height of 8,500 meters is a watershed. Unless European and American parties develop high-altitude oxygen supply systems in advance, it will be difficult to fly to more than 8,500 meters.

The gsp-D type anti-aircraft gun is actually based on the gsp-C type anti-aircraft gun, which realizes four-barrel-firing parallel connection, that is, four barrels are fired at the same time, and the firepower is fierce.

There are also two anti-aircraft guns, the gsp-E and gsp-Hei. The former has a 20mm caliber and the basic configuration is the same as the Gsp-B anti-aircraft gun. The difference is that it is mounted on a vehicle and is equipped with a 44-wheeled combat vehicle. It has high maneuverability and can follow the infantry to perform maneuver air defense.

The latter is 37mm caliber. Because the anti-aircraft gun is heavy and the ammunition is not light, it is inconvenient to carry a wheeled combat vehicle, it is therefore changed to a crawler type. The structure of the anti-aircraft gun is basically GSP type C or D type. The difference is that it is divided into two-unit and four-unit. The dual-unit carries less ammunition and slightly faster speeds, while the quad carries more ammunition and slightly slower speeds.

In fact, for the chassis of the t25 tank, the speed of the dual-unit and quad-unit was basically the same. Later, after actual combat inspection by the Emperor of China, it was unified into a dual-unit. It was used as a heavy anti-tank combat vehicle on the battlefield, and the effect was much better than air defense.

Finally, there are two naval anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns.

Because the navy has a huge hull and load capacity, the naval anti-aircraft anti-aircraft gun can be relatively large.

The naval anti-aircraft guns are only 20mm caliber and 37mm caliber. The overall configuration is similar to that of various types of the army, but the degree of parallel connection is much higher than that of the army, and all of them are four-units.

In fact, Li Weiguo also ordered the Royal Arsenal to develop a dense array, but considering that the Navy cannot use such a killer weapon for the time being, it is only at the drawing stage and has no actual research and development.

Of course, the fundamental reason is that Li Weiguo does not want other countries to know that the Chinese Empire has installed air defenses on naval warships. If they are discovered by various countries, the navies of various countries will inevitably follow the trend and strengthen the air defense capabilities of naval warships of various countries, which is not in line with Li Weiguo's strategic plan.

In Li Weiguo's view, it is best for the navies of European and American countries to always ignore warship air defense. Only in this way can the Chinese Imperial Air Force raid their naval warships in the future, and will it have stronger attack power and tactical effects.

Even at the critical moment of naval battle, the Imperial Chinese Navy suddenly dispatched, and the enemy navy lacked air defense capabilities. As a result, it would inevitably be abused and could even lead to the Imperial Chinese Navy's decisive victory.

Therefore, based on this consideration, Li Weiguo was not willing to deploy air defense weapons on warships.

This may be what every leader thinks!

Historically, the British Navy built an aircraft carrier in World War I, which shows that the British leader is very clear about the role of the aircraft carrier, otherwise anyone who is idle would have nothing to do to develop the aircraft carrier. But later, Britain deliberately made the aircraft carrier develop slowly. On the surface, this was the British leader's mistake, but who knows that this was not the British leader's intention? The purpose is the same as Li Weiguo's current idea, and he does not want other countries to pay attention to aircraft carriers.

After all, Britain had the strongest naval force in the world at that time, and the actions of the British navy would inevitably affect the development direction of navies in other countries. Therefore, the British may not be unaware of the importance of aircraft carriers.

Now this situation has happened to Li Weiguo. After he put his heart in mind and shifted his position to other countries, it is not difficult to find the key.

Under the influence of this contradiction, Li Weiguo could only choose a compromise, that is, to sneakily install anti-aircraft rapid-fire gun weapons on the naval warships of the Empire of China, and not to make big fuss, not to be too high-profile, or to be low-key.

In this way, in addition to the large-caliber main guns, other secondary gun systems on the Chinese Empire naval warships will be secretly converted into high-level dual-purpose guns, which can fire in the air or flat fire. The appearance is not obvious, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find the tricks.

The Navy's large-scale modification plan was soon introduced. The main ships of the fleets of the Imperial Navy took turns to enter the dock for maintenance. It was claimed that the gun barrel was exhausted during combat and the gun barrel was replaced. In fact, the Gaoping dual-purpose gun gun with two shooting capabilities was installed.

Anyway, the Chinese Navy does not have very important combat tasks at present. The US and Japanese navy was destroyed. On the European battlefield, allies such as Germany, Italy and Austria were all being cautious and refused to go to Europe to assist in the war. On the US and Japanese battlefields, they were basically inland and the navy basically couldn't help. Therefore, the Chinese Navy has become the most leisurely force.

However, when the navy ships entered the dock to replace the gun barrel and anti-aircraft aiming system, Li Weijun was ordered to meet him. Li Weiguo told him some important strategic plans in person and asked him to go back and prepare secretly.

The Chinese Empire's Navy cannot be idle all the time. The recent series of changes that have occurred on the European battlefield have made Li Weiguo feel bad.

Li Weiguo was worried that the German Empire would break the balance of the European battlefield. Seeing that the German Empire's economic tolerance had reached its limit, Li Weiguo hoped that until the last moment, the European battlefield should be balanced. Britain, France, Russia, Germany, Italy and Austria would eventually draw, which is most in line with the core interests of the Chinese Empire.
