Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

After the DF-5C departed, the camera returned to the sky.

One by one, planes formed a triangular formation in the air and slowly flew over the city gate.

Deputy Division Commander Xiao asked again, puzzled, "Comrade Hongwei, why do airplanes from later generations all look a bit strange?"

"yes!"

Chief of Staff Ni also remarked, "Why don't these planes have propellers?"

"Because those are jet aircraft!"

Ma Hongwei preached.

"jet plane?"

This was the first time anyone had heard this term.

"Since the Wright brothers of the United States built an airplane in 1903, human aviation has been developing rapidly."

Ma Hongwei slowly said, "From initially only being able to stay airborne for 12 seconds and fly 36 meters, by the end of World War I, it was already able to reach a speed of 200 km/h."

"In the 1920s and 30s, aircraft began to transition from biplanes to monoplanes. At the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japan, the main combat aircraft of the Japanese army were all monoplanes, and only trainer aircraft and old reconnaissance aircraft were still biplanes."

"By the end of World War II, in 44, Sanders had the first jet fighter to be put into actual combat, the Me-262. From then on, the world entered the era of jet aircraft."

"So, in just seven years, we'll be entering the era of jet aircraft!"

Commander Liu shook his head and said, "At this time, the imperialist powers generally use monoplanes, but the Kuomintang is still using old biplanes, while our Eighth Route Army doesn't even have a single plane."

"It makes me angry just thinking about it!"

夏薇薇忍不住拍桌子道：「从1934年-1936年，三年时间国库拨付航空经费2800万、4000万、4500万，共计1.13亿法币，折合美元相当于3400万。」

"In addition, the 36-year-old 'Donate an Aircraft to Celebrate its Birthday' campaign also garnered 1300 million yuan in donations and issued aviation lottery tickets, generating a net income of 4860 million yuan. Together, these two sources amounted to 1811 million US dollars."

"However, in these three years, we only purchased a little over 260 fighter jets, and they were mostly Hawk II and Hawk III biplane fighters, with only 10 being Boeing 281s (export versions of the P-26)."

"As for the rest of the money, it is said to be used to maintain airport construction, flight school, staff salaries, fuel, and maintenance spare parts."

「一架出口版P-26零售价17000—20000美元，批量购买价格肯定还要低于17000美元，就算那260架战斗机全都是P-26，也才需要442万美元，更何况里边250架都是落后的双翼飞机。」

"Even if they bought other non-combat aircraft, how much more would that cost? A total of more than $5200 million has been wasted just like that."

At this point, Xia Weiwei said in a deep voice: "According to some people in the Republic of China Air Force, a huge sum of 8000 million yuan was deposited by that old witch Soong Mei-ling in a foreign bank to earn interest, saying that she planned to buy the aircraft when the technology was more advanced."

"Damn it, because of these insects, the Japanese army attacked directly and blocked the coastline. There was no chance to buy planes anymore!"

"That's absolutely right!"

Ma Hongwei nodded and said, "If they had taken out just a third of that money, they could have bought 383 German BF-109B fighters, which were the most advanced fighter jets in Europe at the time."

"Even if the Germans don't sell, we can settle for buying more than 1022 P-26s. Although the US technology was a bit inferior at that time, it was still a monoplane fighter, much better than the Hawk II and Hawk III."

"If Japan had more than 1000 monoplane fighters, its air force would not be as arrogant as it is now."

"It's outrageous that so many people are trying to defend such a despicable person!"

Upon hearing their words, Deputy Division Commander Xiao slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, "These people from the Kuomintang are simply too corrupt!"

"They have so much money, yet they only use less than a tenth of it to buy fighter jets."

"Sigh, they've been doing this for a while now!"

Commander Liu shook his head and said, "It was precisely after witnessing their corruption and depravity that we decided to overthrow them as well!"

After their initial indignation subsided, the crowd continued watching the military parade.

Special aircraft formations, transport aircraft formations, bomber formations, tanker/receiver aircraft formations, fighter formations...

一直到最后的教练机梯队，有着5架教-10飞机、5架歼-10S飞机和7架歼-10表演机出场。

Seven J-10 fighter jets flew over the square, leaving long red, yellow, and blue trails.

With that, the grand military parade came to an end.

After the video ended, Chief of Staff Ni asked, "This J-10 aerobatic aircraft must be the most outdated of all these planes, right?"

"Um!"

Ma Hongwei nodded and said, "The J-10 first took flight in 1998, and it wasn't until 2003 that it began to be delivered to the Air Force in small batches. Large-scale deployment began in 2006, and that was the J-10A."

"Later, there were improved versions of the J-10B and J-10C. Even the J-10C only made its maiden flight at the end of 13, underwent trial production in 16, and officially entered combat duty in 18. It is a product of 10 years ago and is a 4.5 generation fighter jet."

"Speaking of which, the export version of the J-10C fighter jet, the J-10CE, was equipped by Pakistan in 22."

"Last year, India took the initiative to provoke a war and had an air battle with Pakistan. Our export version of J-10CE shot down 6 Indian Rafale fighter jets purchased from France with zero damage."

"Even the stripped-down export version of the J-10CE is this powerful; the fully-equipped J-10C must be even stronger."

"The most advanced fighter jet currently in service in China is the J-20 (Mighty Dragon), and a sixth-generation fighter jet is also under development."

At this point, Ma Hongwei couldn't help but say, "Everyone says that if the J-10CE hadn't made its appearance this time, it probably wouldn't have been allowed to perform the smoke display."

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, the leaders couldn't help but burst into laughter.

They never expected that the outdated and weakened version of the new China's fighter jets could still shine brightly on the world stage.

If this fighter jet came to this world, wouldn't it be able to slaughter Japanese troops indiscriminately?

However, they only think about it.

Even if Ma Hongwei could be brought over, they wouldn't have a driver here who knows how to operate it.

You should know that none of the Eighth Route Army soldiers know how to fly an airplane!

Chief of Staff Tang said, "We've finished watching the parade, but we haven't finished our meal yet. Let's eat first!"

"The military parade was so spectacular that I was so focused on eating that I forgot to eat."

Political Commissar Luo sat down, took a bite of his food, and shook his head, saying, "It's been so long, the food is already cold."

Commander Liu said, "We'll have to trouble the cooks again. Eating cold meat and vegetables in the dead of winter will surely upset their stomachs. As for the rice, we'll just soak it in hot water!"
