Zhang Meng convened a meeting of the imperial front to intervene in the Spanish civil war, and all the ministers and generals had different opinions.

Since the war against Japan was to capture Taiwan, the Tang and the Japanese could have a complete decisive battle from the current local war. Although the Tang army was full of confidence, they had different opinions on whether they could win or how much they paid to win.

After listening to the opinions of the main ministers and generals, Zhang Meng decided to use Spain as a weapon test site for the Tang army. Originally, the Tang Empire had not been idle in recent years. The National Science Laboratory plundered a large number of scientists, engineers, scholars, and patents from all over the world. This made the Tang Empire creatively develop and manufacture a large number of new weapons and equipment and high-tech equipment in recent years. Originally, the Tang army hoped to use the Japanese army as a weapon test site during the Second Tang-Japanese War. However, in the end, because the main battlefield was on Taiwan Island, the Tang people and the Taiwanese people were the same roots and did not want to affect innocent Taiwanese people. Therefore, many high-tech weapons and weapons of mass destruction in the Tang army were reluctant to implement.

A telegram from Hitler gave the Tang army a new opportunity to test weapons. Hitler also wanted the German army to test the weapons and equipment developed by the Tang Empire for the German army and use the Spanish battlefield to test it.

Although Zhang Meng formed an alliance with Hitler, he was just using Germany. When he really reached the core interests of the country, Zhang Meng would definitely kick Hitler away without hesitation to draw a clear line with him. Zhang Meng is capable of grasping that degree.

At present, Zhang Meng is hoping that Germany will continue to grow and consume more power from the entire Western world. Therefore, Zhang Meng is reluctant to let the war in Spain be burning, and the Tang Dynasty's powerful weapons and equipment are fully utilized.

Tang De and both sides had their own little thoughts, and they coincided. An unanimous agreement was reached immediately.

Hitler and Mussolini jointly supported the Spanish rebel Franco. Britain and France wanted to stop Germany and Italy from interfering in the Spanish civil war, but in the end they saw the powerful force of the Communist International frustrated the Franco army. They finally chose a neutral attitude and acquiesced the support of Germany and Italy for the Franco army.

In recent years, the military equipment of Germany and Italy has been replaced in a whole batch. The fourth improved m1 D submachine gun that the army equipped with the Tang army's active m1 submachine gun has been greatly improved compared with the past. Others such as m2 heavy machine guns, 60mm mortars, 155mm heavy howitzer, Tiger King tank foreign trade export models, etc. The Raptor heavy fighter and Hellfire heavy bomber that the Tang army is proud of were popular among Hitler and Mussolini, and were replaced by land fighter equipment to the air forces of Germany and Italy.

Hitler had a relatively high IQ. He just chose to purchase some weapons and equipment leading the German industry from Datang, and did not copy all the active equipment and standards of the Tang army. With Britain and France adopting an appeasement policy for Germany's expansion, Hitler was also brave. He began to restore the arsenal in Germany. He gradually transferred the weapons and equipment production lines developed by Tang and Germany back to Germany for production. What made Hitler a little unhappy was that Datang held a large number of top German scientists. Due to the Tang and Germany alliance, Hitler ignored Zhang Meng's request, and Zhang Meng also shamelessly pretended not to know.

Mussolini's IQ was much worse. The Italian army almost imitated the equipment and organization of the Tang army's active army, navy and air force, and almost all of the weapons and equipment were imported from the Tang Dynasty. Even the underwear worn by the Tang army soldiers felt that it was much more comfortable than that made in Italy, so they bought tens of millions of them.

Just as Hitler suggested to Zhang Meng that he would jointly interfere in the Spanish civil war, the Soviet representatives also expressed the Soviet position to Zhang Meng, and they hoped that Zhang Meng would not intervene. However, the Soviet Union's international political status was too low, so Zhang Meng naturally would not take them seriously.

When Zhang Meng rejected the Soviets' proposal, the relationship between Tang and Su was also affected to a certain extent. However, the Soviets were not stupid. European and American countries still blocked the Soviet Union. Many of the Soviet Union's technologies and equipment were purchased by the Tang Dynasty as a middleman. Even if Zhang Meng did not give them face, they could only protest and complain a few times.

Under Zhang Meng's instruction, the Tang army reached a specific operational rule with Germany and Italy to jointly interfere in the Spanish civil war. Germany and Italy were responsible for ground fire support, and the Tang Dynasty only sent one, one thousand air force troops to participate in the war. This was also because of the Tang and Japan War. The Tang Dynasty's limited army could only defend its territory, and the Marines deployed on the Taiwan battlefield and the North Pacific islands. Compared with the more than two million Japanese troops, the Tang Dynasty's Marines and Army troops had only 400,000 total, and it was absolutely impossible to divide troops to Spain to participate in the war.

However, the Tang Dynasty's air force had the largest number of troops in the world. Under the influence of Zhang Meng's military strategy, the total number of troops in the Tang Dynasty was very large, accounting for almost one-third of the total air force forces of countries around the world. Sending 1,000 people to participate in the Spanish Civil War did not affect the Tang Dynasty's war against Japan.

The Tang Army aircraft carrier battle group has been alert to Japan, so the only one who went to Spain to participate in the war was the Tang Air Force Army. The Tang Air Force, which has always been ignored by the international community, was presented to the world for the first time.

In the past, European and American countries only paid attention to the naval aviation of the Tang Dynasty, and had never heard of any achievements in the Datang continental aviation. They all thought that the fighter jets used by the Datang Army Aviation were the same as those of the Navy Aviation Raptors, Hellfires, etc. In fact, on the contrary, Zhang Meng knew that the Tang Dynasty was the terrain of the archipelago, the navy and the air force were the foundation of national defense. In addition to the vigorous development of the aircraft carrier battle group, the army aviation troops were also very large. Almost every island had an airport, a main island, a large air force base, an unmanned island, a backup airport, and even an island with important strategic locations. Even if the area was too small, the airport runway was built through reclamation and pile driving.

The Datang Air Force's Army Air Force has a large scale, with a complete range of light, heavy fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, bombers, etc., and its performance indicators are much stronger than HNA's aircraft. For example, the combat weight of the Black Hawk Heavy Fighter of the Army Air is more than five tons heavier than HNA's Raptor heavy carrier-based fighter jets. The wings and fuselage are much longer, with a long range and a fast speed. The 30mm machine gun is much more powerful than the Raptor's 20mm machine gun.

Of course, the real killer weapon of the Datang Air Force Army is not on fighter jets, but on the strategic strike capabilities of bombers, making up for the inability of naval aircraft carriers to carry powerful expeditionary heavy bombers.

The th-9 Type C bomber is the first long-range strategic bomber of the Tang Empire Air Force. It is also a bomber successfully developed by the engineers and designers of the Tang Dynasty under the urging of Zhang Meng for thousands of times.

Previously, Zhang Meng was too excited to help the growth of the seedlings, which caused the Tang army to face setbacks on the bomber issue. There was only one popular JF-10 medium-sized bomber with no many characteristics. Although the JF-10 bomber shone brightly in the last battle against Japan and received many praises, it was not the advanced bomber that Zhang Meng asked for.

Being able to take off from local airports and bomb all over the world is Zhang Meng's requirement for strategic bombers, and it is also a real killer weapon to ensure that the Tang Empire seizes global air supremacy and strategic deterrence in the future.

Unfortunately, although the Tang Empire gathered the world's most advanced machinery and equipment and technicians together for development and production, it has always hit a wall on the most critical aero engine issue of strategic bombers. Although with Zhang Meng's efforts, Datang Heavy Tools has prepared the ability to develop and produce the world's first turboprop aero engine, but unfortunately the hardware capabilities are not enough. In terms of key material processing capabilities, it cannot meet the real turboprop engine standards in later generations. It can only be said that it is at the initial level.

This problem has been exposed in recent years. The Raptor fighter and Hellfire fighter that Tang Jun was proud of before have both achieved strong performance improvements due to the use of turboprop engines. However, because Datang Industry has problems in the synthesis process of materials for manufacturing turboprop engines, the service life of the turboprop engine is too low. The engine has to be replaced after almost 1,200 hours of normal flight, which has brought great financial burden to Tang Jun.

Of course, Zhang Meng knew about this problem a few years ago. At that time, the war against Japan was imminent and could not take into account any cost issues or later maintenance issues. However, after the end of the First Tang-Japanese War, daily maintenance funds were huge, and even if the Tang Dynasty had abundant funds, it could not withstand such consumption.

Therefore, in recent years, Zhang Meng has been urging the National Science and Technology Laboratory to develop special materials suitable for turboprop engines at all costs. After countless tests, under Zhang Meng's prompt, material engineers extracted a variety of new materials from rare earth mines in Australia that can extend the life of turboprop engine blades, which can finally ensure that the service life of the fighter's aircraft engine has been extended to an average of 10,000 hours, but the construction cost has also increased a lot, within the affordable range of the Air Force.

Of course, Zhang Meng also instructed the General Administration of Air Force to conduct new explorations on the issue of turboprop engine driving. The real turboprop engine should be used to drive jet fighters. All the aircraft using turboprop engines in Tang Jun are driving propellers, so the efficiency of use is naturally very low. But this is also impossible. Zhang Meng wanted to use turboprop engines on jet aircraft in advance, but unfortunately, with the scientists and technical capabilities of the Tang Dynasty, they cannot do it.

However, what is exciting is that as Datang's aviation experts finally developed long-range strategic bombers, they were developed completely according to Zhang Meng's preferences.

The th-9 Type C bomber, as can be seen from the number, all the previous models of 1 to 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19,
