Original title: Modern gunship sold to the modern Qing Dynasty, will the Qing Dynasty buy it? Not necessarily, maybe not
The defeat of the foreign wars of the late Qing Dynasty, the corruption and decay that were hard to hide under the crown of the imperial robe, had no cure. In the face of powerful foreign enemies, how many ways of war and fighting methods, when tied up and down, are unbelievable, undefeated, undefeated! The so-called division commander Yi to control Changyi, the method is not without thinking, the result, the strong ship and cannon bought at a large price, after the defeat of the First World War, that is, frightened out of the guts, hiding in Weihaiwei and waiting to be beaten, just like a person holding his head, closing his eyes, and letting others slaughter. Reflecting on the several battles fought at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a geographical advantage at the doorstep of the family, and it would not be used once, killing the Boxers and killing the acid hands of one after another of the late Qing generals and famous generals, actually using soldiers would only know how to fight wildly, in front of the roots of the Eight-Nation Alliance of Ten Thousand People, sitting in the city of sorrow, being slaughtered like two battles, the army of a country, even inferior to the peasant rebels in the three yuan. If you really want to sell them to helicopter gunships, they are just as useless, and if you have them at home, you will not use them; if you say that you have made your own and have such advanced equipment, it is possible for the modern industrial system and system to be successfully erected, and with advanced systems and systems, the Emperor and the Qing Dynasty will still be afraid of which one. In the end, it is useless to buy it, and it is impossible to make it yourself. Playing with equipment is useless, rotting on the roots, you can only fight some nest battles, and then advanced equipment is in hand, it is still not useful. Keep the royal family first.
During the Qing Dynasty, if there were "armed helicopters" for sale, it would become the best way to plant wings on the "Eight Flags Cavalry", and a large number of inconvenient transportation would hinder the mobile operations of the "Eight Flags Cavalry" and would be comprehensively improved. The "gunships" need to be supported at airports throughout the country, and they have become the best "pastures" for the "Eight Flags Cavalry" to carry out "hunting". The Qing Dynasty would cut down the "Krupp Fortress Cannon" [caliber 280 mm. The barrel is 11.2 meters long, weighs 44 tons, has an effective range of 19,760 meters at an elevation angle of up to 30 degrees, and can penetrate 65.8mm steel plates within 3,000 meters of the shell, and can fire 1-2 shells per minute. The AH-64 has a maximum permissible speed of 365 km/h, a transit range of about 1,900 km, and a 30 mm cannon on board. It can be equipped with 16 anti-tank missiles or 4 air-to-air missiles, or rockets and other weapons, and can perform tasks such as anti-tank, ground attack and escort of helicopters.
Combined with history, Li Hongzhang once saw the Makqin machine gun, a big killer, and he only bought four on the grounds that it was "too expensive and too fast". Although the Qing Dynasty had a few equipment that could crush the enemy on the battlefield, due to institutional reasons, there was no industrial base, which became an embarrassing situation of machine guns without bullets. As Li Hongzhang said, too expensive and too fast, not only to spend money to buy, but also to spend money to buy ammunition. Moreover, the decision-making level does not dispatch, even if the best equipment is stored scrap iron. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty would not buy it, let alone use it.
