Chapter 449 Bomber Walks
Two thousand four hundred tons of gold!
It can be said that this number exceeds that of the United States and the Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that no foreign exchange reserve in any country except West Germany can surpass this number. It is not easy to get the bankers of the Federal Reserve to agree.
But if they don't agree, Yang Feng may not give up. Since this guy has already shown up, he must be determined to win.
"John, I'm just asking for what I deserve, and you know very well that I don't want to have a quarrel with you because we have a common enemy. I don't want the Soviets to stand behind and laugh, but I never back down in protecting my own interests, because I am different from you. I need to protect far less than you. I can trade with anyone, but you can't!"
Yang Feng said without any concealment.
"Well, Mr. Yuan, I will convey it to Congress and President Eisenhower."
Kennedy hesitated and said.
Since this is the case, there is no need to say anything more. The rest should be performed as a friendship between Ming and American, and it is just in advance to introduce the future US president to the people of Ming Dynasty. Of course, it is also to show the American people how Senator Kennedy turned the tide and resolved the St. Martin's missile crisis. Soon Yang Yuan and Kennedy chatted and laughed and visited the Ming army's second nuclear submarine together, and even entered the boat to have lunch with Ming soldiers, which appeared in the headlines of major media around the world.
At this time, the people of the world, of course, were mainly people of free countries, and they were truly relieved. It was obvious that Yang Yuan was still very considerate of the overall situation.
And Eisenhower couldn't hold back either.
Who is the US president? The Democratic Party and Kennedy snatched the limelight. What are you going to do? Are you playing the savior of the American people? What am I going to be? Is it the background on the stage?
However, even if he wanted to do anything at this time, it would be too late. The Democratic Party had publicly threatened to impeach him. Domestic public opinion also supported Kennedy one-sidedly, and even the people began to block the White House and directly called slogans to let him step down. At this time, Eisenhower must win the image, not only his. His term of office expires next year, but more importantly, the Republican Party. At this pace, it is no longer a question of whether the Republican Party can win the next election, but a question of whether next year's midterm election will be defeated.
According to the current poll results, the Republican Party is very likely to face an unprecedented defeat.
At this time, something must be done to boost the approval rating. So before Kennedy left Yingtian, the visiting delegation with Secretary of State Dulles arrived. It was obvious that Dadu came to personally rub his younger brother Xiaodu's stock. But the subsequent negotiations were not so smooth, and other things were no big deal. Yang Feng was really stationed bombers on St. Martin Island, at most, it was used to disgust the United States occasionally and would not pose a real threat to the United States. Dulles knew very well, but the 2,400 tons of gold was a bit scary.
The Ming Dynasty's gold reserves seem to be endless. According to some analysts' estimates, more than 10,000 tons are possible. Moreover, according to the latest information from the CIA, Huaxia Mining has just put into production a giant gold mine in Xi'erian. The annual output can reach 50 tons. It is said that more than 10,000 Japanese labourers were exhausted to death in order to open this mine. If these 2,400 tons of gold are added, the reputation of the Ming Empire Bank is obviously comparable to the Federal Reserve. After all, the Federal Reserve currently has only 16,000 tons. As one rises and the other falls, the gold reserves of both sides are almost the same.
The result is that Longyuan's reputation is more stable. Now this kind of banknote is comparable to the US dollar in many places, and within the Holy Alliance of Southeast Asia, it has even completely overwhelmed the US dollar.
But if Yang Feng didn't change it, he would definitely not agree, and even those European allies were watching.
At this time, Yang Feng's real request had already been released. Britain, France and other countries already knew that this guy suddenly used this big move, the purpose was to exchange gold. Look, Britain, France, of course, supported Yang Feng. In recent years, Britain and Gaul secretly exchanged thousands of tons of gold from the Bank of the Ming Empire, and each of them exchanged thousands of tons of gold. The reserves of the Bank of the Ming Empire soared, which means that if they wanted to exchange, Yang Feng would definitely be more generous. They would like Yang Feng to exchange more!
Anyway, for Dulles, he faces a difficult choice.
Just as the Federal Reserve and Imperial Bank were having a difficult negotiation in Yingtian, Yang Yuan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately began the next move.
Djibouti, Africa.
Six Yinglong bombers took off from the Ming base here and entered Ethiopian airspace. The poor Ethiopians all thought they knew nothing. The Ming Air Force regarded the borders of various countries in this area as nothing. Not to mention Ethiopian airspace, even Neizhi airspace, they would enter as soon as they wanted. Anyway, the surrounding countries knew that the Ming Dynasty had no interest in their remote areas. In the event of such a thing, in addition to Neizhi, they could protest angrily, other countries were simply squatting on the side and pretending to be turtles.
After the six bombers took off, six equally large aerial oil depots were launched into the air under the protection of ghost fighters.
This large tanker modified based on Airbus A31o is equipped with more than 90 tons of fuel inside. After flying high altitude with Yinglong bombers into Nigeria, the British territory, he then refueled the Yinglong bombers one-on-one in the sky. After completing the refueling, six Yinglong bombers continued to fly forward, and the aerial tankers and escort fighters then turned around and filled the insufficient fuel ghosts in the air and returned to the distant Djibouti base together.
As for the Yinglong bombers, their voyage across the Atlantic Ocean had already begun.
When they were about to arrive in Saint Martin, a squadron of twenty-four F1O5s that took off from Puerto Rico appeared.
"Fly all!"
Looking at the f1o5 flying outside the window, the commander of the bomber squadron on Yinglong said contemptuously.
Six Yinglongs broke open the dazzling sound cone almost at the same time, and their domineering and huge body broke through the sound barrier at an extremely fast speed, but the degree was still accelerating. The twenty-four f1o5s that accompanied them also broke through the sound barrier. Unfortunately, during the subsequent pursuit, these latest fighter bombers of the US military were obviously unable to do so. Yinglong, who did not carry any ammunition, broke through Mach two in a very short time, easily threw away the thunderbolt carrying the Rattlesnake missile, left the depressed US pilots with one distant back, and then disappeared from their sight.
Ming army bombers officially entered St. Martin Island.
On the next day, after the six bombers completed the necessary maintenance, they flew away from the island and walked northward to the high seas outside the US Norfolk base. Then, under the close surveillance of dozens of US fighter jets, they performed a Mach two-way cruise again, and then leisurely turned back to Saint Martin. They took away all the parameters of the US radar along the way, and also monitored some radio communication data, and even tested the performance of the latest US combat aircraft such as f1o4 and f1o5, which will soon become the main combat opponent of the Ming army.
“Garbage, all garbage.
To put it bluntly, the two Machs of f1o4 are obtained by sacrificing almost all other performances. The hovering performance is not much better than that of a large bomber. Playing maneuverability is not the same as a tiger shark. It can be said that as long as you enter a dog fight, not to mention a tiger shark, even a sword can pick it. The short wings do not even have the ability to resist complex airflows. Once you lose power, they will immediately turn into stone and fall down directly.
The mobility of f1o5 is slightly better, but it still cannot be compared with tiger sharks.
In short, these two aircraft have nothing but altitude, but their altitude is not enough to see in front of our ghosts.”
Li Fang said.
This is a summary of the Yinglong bomber pilot who participated in a walk along the United States coast. Previously, these two fighters had a great impact on the Ming army. After all, they were both Mach level, and in terms of degree, they were no less than the Ming army. Moreover, the Australians have begun to equip these two fighters in large quantities. Once they start a war with Australia, they will definitely fight with these two fighters.
It is obvious that the Ming army generals are relieved now.
"Don't underestimate them, at least they are highly expected by the Americans."
Yang Feng said with satisfaction.
"They have several newly launched aircraft now that they need to pay attention to. One is the F4H Satan of McDonald, which is said to be about to test flight. In the design, we pirated our ghost and used two J79 motors, which is a heavy carrier-based air combat aircraft."
Li Fang said.
"It's so abominable. This question must be asked. Although military aircraft generally do not consider patent rights, it is too much for them to imitate our aircraft again and again. First, it is a model for our Hercules, then the Crusaders imitate our pirates, and Boeing's 7o7 passenger planes. That is simply a copy of the Airbus A31o. You can't be so shameless, you have to give them a little warning."
Yang Feng said indignantly.
Well?!
Li Fang was embarrassed for a moment, and he didn't expect Yang Yuan to react so much. At this time, the planes were all imitating you and I imitating you.
He then said: "In addition, there is also a large, air-to-air fighter with the same twin, the type that was bid for the last time in the US military. It uses the turbofan motor that Pratt & Whitney is driving, and its performance is similar to our Tamron 4. It also uses variable swept wing technology to exceed Mach 2.5, and the number is f111. It is said that the Americans are still designing an air-to-air missile called Immortal Bird for this fighter, with active radar guidance, with multi-target attack capabilities, and can attack six targets at the same time."
"Uh?! So crazy?"
Yang Feng said in horror. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
