Chapter 851 Aircraft Missiles

Sure enough, Eisenhower called Zhang Chi back that night. .

"Major General, we are very grateful for your efforts in the Algiers government, and yes, we accept this condition!" Eisenhower said.

"That's great!" Zhang Chi replied: "General, this is a wise choice!"

In this matter, the Expeditionary Force should have gained the most, because the Expeditionary Force not only won oil for domestic industrialization, but also the opportunity to set up a factory in Algiers to receive orders... Of course, this is second, and more importantly, it has also enhanced the relationship between China and Algeria.

This seems to be seen by France or the United States.

However, it is indeed difficult to see. Zhang Chi also knew that in the future, there would be a protracted war of independence between Algeria and France.

If this is the case, then China's arsenal in Algeria will probably be regarded as the lifeblood of Algeria, because that may be their only capital to resist France.

This is the common interest. Relationships based on common interests are the most reliable. If there is no interest among countries and feelings... they will only be regarded as fools.

After doing this, Zhang Chi felt relieved as if he had put down a burden. He almost saw oil tankers traveling through the Mediterranean Sea, between the canal and Okinawa, bringing batches of daily necessities produced by factories, and then exchanging tons of oil.

The next day, when Zhang Chi told Liu Zhenguo the news, Liu Zhenguo was also very excited.

"General, this has solved the big problem!" Liu Zhenguo said: "Because now we have nothing short of iron, coal, etc. We have some in the Northeast. Japan has even built transportation channels for us. We just need to keep it working normally. It's this oil... Now the oil has also been solved. Brazil (French expert) said that he also plans to build a thermal power station on Okinawa!"

"Very good!" Zhang Chi was very satisfied with this. The development of Okinawa Island really lived up to his own and the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force outside.

Suddenly, Zhang Chi wanted to go back and see what Northeast and Okinawa have become now, as well as those old subordinates and comrades who have not come out together...

But Zhang Chi knew that he could not leave because now was the time when the expeditionary army kept fighting for his own interests, and this was something that could not be done at home. Others could not divide it up and leave a portion for you. Even if there was one, it would be just a piece of it.

"By the way, general!" Liu Zhenguo then said to Zhang Chi: "Actually, we still have opinions on studying aircraft missiles!"

"Oh, what's your opinion?" Zhang Chi asked.

"This is how it is!" Liu Zhenguo replied: "For this issue, French experts are divided into two factions. One is mainly Basil. They advocate the study of aircraft missiles because they think... If you want to find an appropriate way to deal with it, you must first make this thing, and then through repeated experiments to find a solution. The other faction opposes this idea, mainly led by an expert named Benshaming. They believe that actual combat proves that aircraft missiles are not accurate and can only blindly bombard the targets by luck. This cannot cause effective killing against the enemy, so there is no much research and development value..."

It is not surprising that there will be such a debate, because the missiles of this era, that is, the so-called "aircraft missiles", are indeed, as the expert named Ben Shaming said, hitting the target is entirely based on luck... Its structure is actually very simple, it is a small aircraft or an aircraft model, which is equipped with a very primitive gyroscope to keep the aircraft balanced and fly in the designated direction. After flying to the calculated time... Of course, this time is calculated based on the speed and distance, and then it will fall head-on and detonate the bomb.

Not to mention, although it can only hit the target by luck, it sometimes happens miracles. For example, when Germany used it to bomb Britain, an "aircraft missile" miraculously turned a corner when it landed and accurately hit the British command center. Another one actually passed through the narrow aisle between two buildings and hit an ammunition depot to cause a chain explosion.

This once caused panic among the British because they thought these "aircraft missiles" would automatically find targets, and they couldn't figure out how the Germans allowed these "missiles" to fly for such a long distance and then "precisely strike" them.

Later, I found that these so-called "precision strikes" were just coincidences... There are all kinds of birds in the forest, and there are also many missiles, and everything will happen, especially for things flying around in the air. It is normal for a few coincidences to occur.

So, from this perspective, it is indeed not worth developing such "aircraft missiles"... Even if it is covered with artillery fire, it is probably more accurate than it will be used to attack and cause greater damage.

This controversy has even existed for decades after the war. Even if "aircraft missiles" can be guided and become missiles, many military experts still believe that it is not worth developing... because it is expensive to use to hit small targets. On the other hand, many people do not believe that such a bomb can kill thousands of tons of warships at any time.

Because of this, many countries developed with a half-believing and half-doubted attitude. It was not until the Battle of the Cabernet Island... experts were surprised to find that not to mention warships, even tankers with larger tonnages would be threatened by them.

Zhang Chi can be said to be a veteran, so of course she would not hesitate.

"No need to think about it, no need to hesitate!" Zhang Chi said: "Do as Basil said!"

"Yes, I will convey the general's meaning to them when I go back." Seeing that Zhang Chi is so determined, Liu Zhenguo had no problem.

At this time, Zhang Chi thought it was time to remind these experts, so he thought about it and said, "But what Ben Shaming said makes sense. The 'aircraft missile' that has no accuracy and luck is of little value."

"But the general..." These words made Liu Zhenguo a little confused.

"So, we have to solve this problem!" Zhang Chi explained: "That is, let it automatically track the target!"

"Automatically track the target?" Liu Zhenguo couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this: "How can this be done?"

"Of course it's possible!" Zhang Chi replied: "You can tell those experts after you go back, for example, you can use the infrared characteristics or noise released by the target to track it, so that the 'aircraft missile' can automatically adjust the direction!"
