The naval aviation confrontation exercise conducted over Galway Bay was the re-stunning debut of the Irish carrier-based fighter ir-30t in an informal internal occasion. Not only did the Japanese pilot flying the H-25 be beaten into a pig's head, but even the elite pilots who were ranked in the German Naval Aviation Force lost 3-5. That is, during the confrontation between the two sides, the Germans obtained three effective shots and were shot down by the opponent five times, of which three shots were given by the ir-30t, and only one of his three shots was obtained on the ir-30t.

Three weeks later, the German and Irish Navy conducted a second joint exercise in Galway, and the confrontation was upgraded to 6 H-25s 4 ir-29ts and 2 ir-30ts. This time, the German Navy slightly saved his face because the air combat performance of the H-25 is indeed better than the ir-29ts, and the German Navy's elite pilots are better than Ireland in terms of quantity and quality. However, the ir-30t, which has not yet been in service, still performed well, thus gaining praise from German Navy technical officials and some senior generals. The German Navy quickly launched a formal inspection and assessment procedure. Once the ir-30t passes the German strict technical evaluation, it will be included in the German government's military purchase list. According to the military alliance agreement between Germany and Ireland, Ireland cannot refuse Germany's procurement requirements.

Another potential buyer who is interested in Irish fighter jets, the Japanese Navy, also urged the government to initiate foreign military purchase procedures. According to the opinions of the delegation to Europe, the Japanese Navy hopes to introduce a full set of technologies for carrier-based bombers from Germany, purchase production licenses for carrier-based fighters and carrier-based torpedoes from Ireland, and introduce key technologies for large aircraft carriers from Germany or Ireland so that the Japanese naval aviation forces can complete equipment upgrades in the next four years. Given Japan's important strategic value, under the promotion of Crown Prince William, German senior management has almost met the requirements of Japan in recent years. However, the excellent performance Ju-17 carrier-based dive bomber is the killer weapon of the German Navy. Since it entered service in 1928, it has been highly praised by the German naval aviation forces and is known as having

The most successful single-engine carrier-based bomber in history, its core technology is included in the strategic secrets of the German Navy. As the manufacturer, Deutsche Airways shall not sell this type of fighter and any derivative model to the outside world, nor shall it provide relevant technologies to the outside world. Therefore, the German Navy was very dissatisfied with the senior management's plan to transfer the full set of Ju-17 technology. Under the strong resistance of Marshal Reinhardt Schell, who served as the highest commander of the Imperial Cabinet Navy, Marshal Franz von Hippel, and Commander of the High Seas Fleet, the German senior management had to make concessions. They notified the Japanese side that because Ju-17 involves German core military secrets, they will not transfer to any country in the short term. Therefore, it is recommended that the Japanese Navy choose the previous generation of Ju-15 or the He-33c with similar functions.

After repeated weighing and fierce discussion, the Japanese Navy chose the second plan they had determined before, namely the Irish Navy's ik-30t. In this way, the three carrier-based aircraft selected by the Japanese Navy are the main models that the Irish Navy has already equipped or will soon be equipped.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Ireland, like Lithuania, Latvia, and Iceland are German military, political and economic vassals, so they obey the German senior leaders. The difference is that with the wise governance of the Irish king and the hard work of the Irish nationals, Ireland's economic and military strength is far stronger than the two Baltic countries and the symbolic Iceland kingdom. However, in the eyes of those with political or strategic vision, Ireland's geographical location, political structure, and national strength are

As for the monarch's personality, it is qualified to say "no" to Germany on many issues. Whether out of disgust towards Japan or the strategy of playing hard to get, the Irish senior executives initially refused to provide Japan with the prototype and technology of three excellent carrier-based aircraft, the ir-30t "royal griffin", ik-20t "swordfish", and ik-30t "oesto". As the German crown prince, William Xiao ran Limerick twice a month and spared no effort to help the Japanese deal with it, which made it difficult to break the ice.

As for the technology of large aircraft carriers, German senior management decided to give it as a valuable political gift to future allies. The German naval generals were satisfied with the issue of carrier-based aircraft and reluctantly accepted the government's arrangements. Germany and Japan then signed a secret agreement in Berlin, whereby Japan obtained the core technology of the 30,000-ton "advanced standard" aircraft carrier. Although the British Glory Class and the United States Lexington Class are both 30,000-ton, and the United States will also build a 40,000-ton heavy aircraft carrier, the standard series jointly developed by Germany and Ireland is far longer than that of the United States and Britain. The "advanced standard" performed very stably during its service period, so it is recognized as an existence that is superior to the Glory Class and Lexington Class.

In November 1932, under the witness of Irish government and military officials, the Japanese government representative finally signed a military purchase contract with the Ireland Limerick Aircraft Company and the Royal Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. The two Irish military-industrial companies will provide the Japanese Navy with 60 ir-30t, 150 ik-20t and 90 ik-30t to the Japanese Navy within 4 months, and after the Japanese side paid the full payment for the goods, they will provide the complete set of technical drawings of the three aircraft to the Japanese Navy. For this reason, the Japanese government will give Limerick

The aircraft company and the Royal Aircraft Manufacturing Plant paid 7.2 million marks and 22.8 million marks respectively, and in the future, Irish experts who went to Japan to provide technical guidance, the Japanese government had invested a lot of money for the new generation of carrier-based aircraft. Considering that the Japanese government is currently in a financial crisis and cannot extricate itself, if the German government had not come forward to help them get special loans from the Central Bank of the Deutsche Imperial Republic, the Japanese would probably have been in a state of hatred in front of the threshold of "cash payment" set by the Irish government.

Such a large-scale military purchase cooperation cannot be absolutely confidential according to the wishes of politicians. A few days later, the cheap newspaper "Daily Telegraph", the largest salesman in the UK, disclosed the news in obscure words. The Japanese embassy in the UK was harassed by protesters that night. The US and British governments jointly put pressure on Japan to ask the Japanese government to clarify the relationship with Germany and announce all agreements signed with Germany. Otherwise, the Japanese government would take punitive measures against it for violating the four-country secret treaty.

The dispute between Japan and the United States and Britain did not care about Ireland's position. Japan's contract to purchase Irish fighter jets did not violate any international treaties or agreements. As the first special money loaned to the Japanese government by the German bank to remit it to the Irish corporate account, the Irish began to fulfill the contract. They disassembled the first batch of fighter jets and set off from Limerick to Japan; they accepted engineers from Japan to learn technology into their design and production departments, and carefully taught them technical details about the manufacturing and maintenance of fighter jets; the Galway Naval Base also began to receive Japanese naval pilots. After necessary training, they would board the "Angus" to train with the pilots of the Allied Powers.

Orders from the Navy of Ireland, Germany and Japan have brought the new assembly line of the Limerick aircraft manufacturer into full production operation, while the old assembly line used to produce ir-29 and ir-29t is not related. It is sarcastic that fighter jets coming off the adjacent assembly line may meet on the battlefield in the future. After approving the export of carrier-based aircraft from their own enterprises to Japan, the Irish government immediately passed a free aid to the Chinese government.

The case includes the Army-type ir-29 fighter jets. The previous arms sale price of this fighter jet to the Chinese government was 45,000 marks. The free aid program transferred 120 ir-29s that have been in the Irish army for a period of time. Based on the depreciation of normal wear and tear, their current value is also more than 3 million marks, while the total price of free aid materials exceeds 6 million marks, which exceeds the estimated profit and tax of Irish enterprises to sell arms to Japan.

With the implementation of the free military aid plan, nearly half of the ir-29s equipped by the Irish Air Force and Army Aviation will be handed over one after another, while the newly put into production of ir-30s has only 20 monthly equipment. The reduction of active main fighter jets has made senior Irish officers worried. Many of them are puzzled by the government's compliance with Germany's request for transfer of ir-30t, and have repeatedly raised objections to the king, but they did not know that their monarch is playing a big game:

The ir-29 has long been famous in Europe. The ir-30 and its naval model ir-30t are beyond the reach of their abyss, and they have no choice but to choose from air combat capabilities. However, in addition to power and weapons, they have some room for upgrading, and are close to the performance limit of biplane aircraft. In the next few years, the Japanese Navy will inevitably be replaced by increasingly mature monoplane aircraft. While obtaining the ir-30t at a high price, it is likely to take many detours on the development of monoplane carrier-based aircraft. The technicians from the Irish Defense Department have conducted technical evaluations on the new fighter jets of the Bavarian aircraft manufacturer, believing that it fully meets the standards of the new generation of fighter jets and has sufficient room to develop carrier-based aircraft models. The two parties have signed a contract. If nothing unexpected happens, Ireland will manufacture a large amount of equipment by ordering and authorized production, but the Japanese Army Air Force knows nothing about this.

The ik-20t nicknamed "Swordfish" is a super hunter who sank the US main battleship "Iowa" in the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, the Mexican Christ Rebel Army was able to sink the US ship. It was so lucky that it was very lucky. Americans also had a general mentality of carelessness at that time. Objectively speaking, "Swordfish" was not only simple in structure and low in cost, but also the various technical data were not superior to the active torpedo aircraft of Britain and Germany. The Japanese Navy ordered large quantities and prepared to produce licenses. The cost of a single frame could be controlled below 400 million marks. Look

It is a cost-effective deal, but it may make bitter fruits by itself during the war. You should know that the ik-22t "Super Swordfish" that is about to be tested adopts a closed cockpit and a large landing gear design, equipped with fixed leading edge slats and trailing edge flaps technology, and has extremely strong short-range take-off and landing capabilities. When equipped with heavy aviation torpedoes, it can fly 1,200 kilometers per hour at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. All data are greatly improved compared to the "Swordfish". The single-wing bomber in the R&D and design stage has its main performance even throws the "Swordfish" out of at least two streets!

The ik-30t, nicknamed "Osprey", and the "Swordfish" were found at the Royal Ireland Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. Its appearance has many similarities with the ju-17 of the German Navy, so that people generally believe that Dr. Hugo Juncker, who works for Deutsche Airways, played an important role in the research and development and design of Ireland's carrier-based bombers. In fact, the internal structures of the two carrier-based bombers are very different, and their performance characteristics focus on the ju-17's dive ability is very strong. The ik-30t uses built-in
