There is no free lunch in the world. Since China has paid so much to increase the power of the British Royal Navy, it is not only design and technical support, but also expressed its willingness to purchase British national debt. If the rewards given by the British are not satisfactory, the top novel

If China's appetite is too great, then the consequences of this matter will be very serious. Quite serious! Britain is now in internal and external difficulties and has no ability to continue to challenge China.

"We hope that your country can carry out in-depth cooperation with your country in aerospace engines, electronic equipment research, for example, technology that can use electromagnetic waves to detect targets beyond visual range, and hydroacoustic research," because this involves the next ten years.

Xu Jie personally went into battle to finalize specific cooperation details with the other party.

"Aviation engines? Are you saying that your country wants to cooperate with my country's Rolls-Royce? I can understand this and guarantee that relevant cooperation can be carried out between the two parties. This airline's liquid-cooled aero engines can You can be said to be unparalleled in the world. You have a very good vision.” The British representative did not waste any words and immediately stated that such cooperation is allowed.

Hearing this, Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief. His first goal was achieved in this way, which surprised him. Rolls-Royce is still an important engine manufacturer for Airbus and Eurofighter until the 21st century.

Why was the Airbus A380 finally put into production? Rolls-Royce's engines are indispensable, and the ej200 engine produced for the ef2000 is the pinnacle of medium-thrust engines, whether it is thrust-to-weight ratio, fuel consumption or usage time.

It's quite outstanding.

And if we talk about World War II, the engines of Rolls-Royce Airlines are even more famous. The Morin engine and Griffin engine used almost from the beginning to the end of the war can be called the pinnacle of liquid-cooled aviation engines during the regular World War II!

If we look purely at mass-produced liquid-cooled engines, the first place is undoubtedly the British. The second place is Germany, and the third place is the American emperor. (The American emperor is in tears. Aviation liquid-cooled engines are among the few in the United States.

In the end, it is not as good as Germany.)

Without counting drug use, (for example, the German MW50 system) the Griffin 61 engine weighs 898 kilograms and can produce 2035 horsepower at an altitude of 2,000 meters, and 1,820 horsepower at an altitude of about 6,400 meters.

The maximum output of the Moline 61 engine is more than 1650 horsepower, and the engine weight is 749kg. The best German db605a engine. Without counting the installation of additional supercharger, with a weight of 756kg, it can output 1475 at sea level.

Horsepower power, just from the perspective of power-to-weight ratio. Compared with the British Molin 61, there is a certain gap, and this is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that the British Molin 61 engine

It is a 2-stage 2-speed supercharger. The db605 is a 1-stage 2-speed supercharger. The high-altitude performance will be greatly affected. And if the British also use a 1-stage 2-speed supercharger, the output power will be higher.

, after all, the more stages the supercharger has, the more power it consumes.

Of course, some people may say that the Germans still have engines of db605am, db605dc and other models, which can still run 2,000 horsepower, but they have already added a water injection afterburner system. Germany can add it. The British can also add it.

As for the German high-power liquid-cooled engines db603 and jumo213, their performance is also somewhat different from that of British products. For example, the jumo213 engine can normally output 1750 horsepower at sea level with a weight of 920 kilograms. The so-called 2240 horsepower is

It can only be used when taking drugs. What's even more tragic is that 213a is also a 1-stage supercharger. The 213e has become a 2-stage 3-speed supercharger, but the power and power-to-weight ratio are still not as good as the Griffin.

And even counting the German test machine? For example, it looks great on paper but has many problems. In the end, there is no mass-produced jumo222 engine. The British saber V-type engine can have an output of 2600 horsepower with a weight of 1135kg, and the jumo222 is based on

It weighs 1,088 kilograms and has an output of 2,465 horsepower. It seems relatively close, but don’t forget that the British saber V-type engines have been in large-scale service since 1945, and jumo222 has not been able to get rid of various problems...

.

Therefore, if we can get close to the big tree of Rolls-Royce, China will not have any problems with liquid-cooled aviation engines in the future. Moreover, if Germany and Britain go to war, China will not be afraid that the British will keep it secretly. After all, it is convenient to buy engines from China.

The issue of whether it is more convenient to ship engines from the UK is clear at a glance. Can the British make trouble with themselves? And it is precisely because they will need to use Chinese engines in the future that the British agreed to cooperate with China in this regard. But everything cannot be smooth sailing.

Although the engine was quickly negotiated, the British representatives seemed very hesitant on the radar and sonar technology.

"Electromagnetic technology to detect long-range targets? This seems to be very advanced. But I have never heard of this technology." The British representative had an "I don't know" expression on his face, which made Xu Jie very dissatisfied.

"If you really don't know, then you can start your journey back home tomorrow, and then I will ask the British government to find someone who knows to discuss these issues. We currently call this equipment radar. We are studying,

The Germans are also studying, so will you be indifferent?" Xu Jie said dissatisfied. Xu Jie was very dissatisfied with the British's prevarication and coping!

"It seems that your country still cannot distinguish the situation. In the future, if your country really goes to war with Germany, who can your country rely on? The United States or France? If China is completely neutral, it will prohibit the export of arms products to any party participating in the war.

If so, how long can your country last?" Xu Jie knew very well why the British were hesitant about radar, because radar is different from engines. Even if the latter gets a prototype, it will still not be able to produce it if the industrial level is not up to it.

It can be used as a reference. But radar is different. Even if the other party cannot imitate the radar, as long as the radar's working band, resolution, error and other data can be mastered, it will be a nightmare for the defending party.

"We need a guarantee, a practical guarantee. Your country exported arms to both the Allies and the Central Powers during the war. And if there is another war, what if our technology flows to Germany through your country's channels?

"The British representative was silent for a moment. Seeing that Xu Jie didn't want to let go on this issue, there was no need for him to keep secretive. It might be better for everyone to be open and honest.

"Can you guarantee that the designs we provide for your country will not flow into the United States?" Xu Jie asked rhetorically. "Our cooperation with your country is only between the two countries, not with the Allied Powers. In fact, our only partner is the United Kingdom.

"Xu Jie knows that it is inevitable for some technologies to flow into the United States. So although Xu Jie has given the British a lot of help, in some key areas, such as beveled decks and optical landing assists,

He didn't let go. Xu Jie only gave the British help to make this aircraft carrier less likely to sink. How high is its combat effectiveness? Haha, if you compare it with the aircraft carrier China will start building in the future, there will be a big gap!

A drop of cold sweat flowed from the head of the British representative. Although China had previously reached an agreement with the United Kingdom that technical data could not flow into third countries. But as an ally of the United States, the British really planned to secretly share it with the Americans.

, it’s just that it hasn’t been done yet. China also knows this. Therefore, the British believe that China must still have some reservations in the specific design. Even a lot. Today Xu Jie made this statement. To a large extent, it is because of

Warn Britain that since China can cooperate with the British, it can also cooperate with the United States. Even with the Germans.

"Don't be petty and lose the big. Our direct technical cooperation with your country has paved the way for the improvement of relations between our two countries. We have extended an olive branch, and we have already been doing this before your country has paid any substantial price."

Your country's naval construction has provided help, but now your country has refused to do things that could have been mutually beneficial and win-win, which makes us very embarrassed. And now the country has begun to discuss what China can gain if it cooperates with Germany again. I think Germany

Wouldn't you mind having another helper in future operations in Asia?" Xu Jie looked at the British man opposite who was already sweating, and then said: "Of course. There is nothing the Germans can do if they mind. In Asia, no one can

What are you trying to do to stop China? Do you want to try?"

What Xu Jie said is definitely not alarmist. The cooperation and friendship between China and Germany have a long history. If Germany hadn’t stretched its hand too far this time, China would really not want to fall out with Germany. But even subjectively, China

We want to cooperate with the British, but if the British are unwilling to live and die, then China may choose the third strategy. Since the British will not cooperate and the British cannot defend South Asia, then why can't China join forces with Germany?

What if South Asia is divided? Although this will also cause China to put too much energy on solving the problem of Indians eating. In the end, the two countries will still be bordering each other, Germany will be stronger, and there will be constant troubles in the future, but at least it will

It can bring some benefits, and more importantly, many high-level officials in the country support this plan. "At least this is much better than letting Germany occupy the entire South Asian subcontinent?" After many discussions, Peng Yi, who put forward this opinion, finally concluded

road.

"This matter is not something I can decide. You know, I am just a representative. At this time, it is related to the British Empire and even the entire Allied Powers system. I just want to know what your country will do if our country cooperates with your country.

What is the bottom line?" the British representative said, wiping the cold sweat on his head with a handkerchief. Although he knew that whether this so-called bottom line could be maintained depended on China's attitude and the international situation, he still needed to find out.

"I have said it before, and since you want to hear it again, I can repeat it for the last time. If Germany takes the initiative to attack Iran and the South Asian subcontinent and wants to occupy it permanently, then China will not want Germany to provide anything that can be used for military purposes.

machinery, equipment and spare parts. And it will decide whether to extend economic sanctions to the civilian field depending on the situation. Moreover, China will provide material help to the United Kingdom and its allies, including weapons, ammunition and raw materials. Transport ships of the Allied Powers are in

Navigation within China's territorial waters will be protected." Xu Jie finally repeated China's bottom line. This is also the criterion that will determine the future relationship between China and the Allies.
