Chapter 249: Maturity
The sun is shining and the white clouds are dancing leisurely. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info On the wide airport, Sylvia slammed into Fang Yan's arms like a cannonball, Rao is Fang Yan had long been accustomed to his wife's unique way of greeting, but he was still hit by this nephrite delicate body and took more than a dozen steps back. The pair of slightly reduced white and tender lotus arms tightly wrapped around Fang Yan's long and healthy body, making him feel a little faintly painful; Before Fang Yan could come to his senses, two soft and moist pink petals had already been imprinted on his lips, crossing the luscious **** like a rose from the tip of his tongue into Fang Yan's abdomen.
The breeze was blowing, and time seemed to have returned to the late spring of 1926, but Fang Yan and Sylvia were not the young teenagers who could look at everything for love back then. After more than ten seconds, Fang Yan gently parted his lips and tongue that were entangled with Sylvia. And Sylvia also knew that now was not the time to be intimate with her lover, so she kept warm for a moment, and then broke away from Fang Yan's arm like an elegant black cat.
"Your Excellency, I will say goodbye to you first." Fang Yan glanced at Raeder, who was not far away, and said with little confidence. Unlike more than ten years ago, this time Sylvia landed on a plane not at the Brom-Foss shipyard owned by Fang Yan's family, but Wilhelmshaven, the largest base of the German Navy; Even if the four-engine heavy plane had been allowed to land on the ground in advance, such a striking pomp and circumstance would have been too ostentatious. Fang Yan had every reason to believe that if he could add 2 fighters to escort him, then this plane would definitely be regarded as the head of the empire's landline; But Raeder is the most orthodox soldier, and after seeing this scene, he will inevitably have a feeling of disgust in his heart.
Radler nodded silently, acknowledging the situation. Having known Fang Yan for so many years, he knew very well how much this young man doted on his wife; As long as he didn't touch the bottom line of principle, Raeder decided not to pay attention to the details of the Italian princess's life style. Fang Yan quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and pulled Sylvia away from Raeder's sight: he knew very well that his identity was a naval officer, and any form of specialization was destroying the rules of order that were vital to every army.
When they walked to a secluded corner on the edge of the airport, Sylvia, who had been holding Fang Yan's arm, suddenly fell into Fang Yan's arms again; The emerald green Xingtan's bright eyes were quickly filled with white mist, and it seemed that he was about to cry out in the next moment. Fang Yan gently stroked his wife's long golden hair that was as smooth as silk, and comforted softly, "It's okay, my dear little Xiwei." Look, didn't I come back unscathed? ā
"Stupid Jonas! Do you know how anxious I was when the Bismarck returned last month? That warship was bombed so badly, there were more than 300 dead and wounded on board, and I couldn't find you in the crowd returning home! I thought you had been called by the Lord's grace to leave me and my three children behind forever......" Sylvia's voice whimpered, and her long-suppressed worries and worries finally exploded at this moment. She hugged Fang Yan's body tightly and choked up: "Later, although I learned that you transferred to another ship, the tragic situation of the Bismarck has always worried me very much, for fear that the new warship you are on will also become like that. Many times I have dreamed that someone from the navy knocked on my door and handed me a black notice......"
Fang Yan didn't speak, but just grabbed the thin shoulders of the Yiren in his arms. He could fully understand Sylvia's fear during his expedition: the Bismarck, which he had ridden earlier, had been blown up beyond recognition on the first day of the war, with heavy casualties, and anyone who did not know the inside story of the fleet's operations would have strong negativity and worry because of this appearance. Now Fang Yan made any explanation in vain, he only had to do one thing, and that was to use his arm to calm Sylvia's emotions as usual.
It didn't take long for Sylvia's sobs to finally calm down. There are still tears on her beautiful and delicate face, but on the contrary, she presents a heart-pounding and pitiful look. Fang Yan held her light jade hand in the palm of her hand and said softly, "Okay?" Rest assured, almost all the first-line warships in the navy are designed by me, and no one knows better than me where they are safest, and the British will not be able to hurt me. ā
Sylvia hummed in a nasal voice, and her soft and elegant voice really returned to the state that Fang Yan was familiar with. Feeling that his wife's mood had returned to normal, Fang Yan was also able to uncover the question box he was holding in his heart: "Xiwei, what's going on with the plane you took today?" In my impression, there is no such four-engine aircraft in domestic civil aviation, and the army and naval aviation do not seem to have any plans to purchase four-engine heavy bombers, right? ā
Sylvia smiled a little proudly and said, "My dear, what you don't have in Germany doesn't mean that we in Italy won't have it." The plane I flew from Berlin to Wilhelmshaven today was the P-108 heavy bomber developed by our Royal Italian Air Force: it was the pride of Uncle Benito (Mussolini)! In recent years, you have put your mind on the country, and it is no wonder that you don't know much about this aircraft. ā
"At the beginning of 1935, the Italian Piaggio aircraft factory was ordered to start developing long-range bombers for the Air Force, but due to the great technical difficulties, the progress was very slow in half a year, and everything was still only at the stage of drawing demonstration. At this time, the four-engine heavy bomber project proposed by the German Gotha Aviation was rejected by the German Army and Navy, and the relevant technicians faced the immediate threat of having their prospects cut off. In order to accomplish the same goal, Gotha Airlines and Piaggio launched a cross-border cooperation, and their joint efforts greatly accelerated the development of long-range bombers. In less than 2 years, the first prototype left the factory and completed test flights, and in May of this year, the first batch of 8 mass-produced P-108s was delivered to the Italian Air Force for official service. Sylvia said.
Fang Yan looked at the lover in front of him in shock, and suddenly had a somewhat unreal feeling: he never thought that Sylvia would be able to say such a thing, which was as different as heaven and earth from the pure princess he had in his impression.
Feeling her husband's shocked gaze, Sylvia's jade eyes turned slightly red, but her bright eyes revealed a bit of determination, and said: "My dear, when I saw those disabled soldiers on the Bismarck warship, I already figured it out. It's time of war, and you, along with so many soldiers, are risking your lives against a ferocious and cunning enemy; And how can we, the people whom you have defended so desperately, ignore the lives and blood you have paid, and continue to enjoy ourselves in the rear as in peacetime? So, in the last month or so, I've been trying to get in touch with military knowledge, and I think I'm going to share some of the pressure, even if it's just a small help, for you. ā
Fang Yan's throat was sour, and a strong emotion surged in his heart, he suddenly took Sylvia into his arms, and fiercely entangled and chased her sweet cloves. In an instant, Fang Yan's efforts to change the fate of this country could not feel the hardship. His lover can understand his negligence in the family, and at the same time express his willingness to support him with all his might, what could make Fang Yan feel more happy and touched?
"Aren't you going to know what's going on, my dear?" Sylvia's cheeks were flushed, and she whispered weakly. She slapped Fang Yan's chest with her powder fist and continued: "After the successful development of this bomber, my father ordered a special private plane from the Piaggio company and gave it to me, which is the one that landed in Wilhelmshaven today. I was also able to learn about the general performance of the original P-108 bomber. It has a maximum take-off weight of 29.5 tons, a maximum level flight speed of 450 kilometers per hour with four engines fully open, and a maximum range of 3,000 kilometers in the bomb bay with five tons of bombs. In addition, it has the self-defense firepower of 10 12.7mm heavy machine guns to disperse enemy fighters with bad intentions. ā
Fang Yan nodded dumbly, his mind still blank. Sylvia actually introduced herself to the performance of weapons and equipment, and it was a heavy bomber that he wanted so badly, which was simply beyond his imagination. At the same time, Fang Yan also noticed in his sluggishness that if his wife was not confused, then the aircraft developed by the Italian company would be quite close to the American B-17 in terms of overall indicators, and then it would be up to him to see how well it performed in terms of armor protection and reliability. Although Fang Yan remembered that Italy in the historical plane had built a four-shot bombardment in 1941, the current world line had already deviated greatly from the original direction under his influence; Since the detailed index of p=108 has much connection with history, Fang Yan can't make any judgment until the complete experimental report comes out.
In any case, the Italians helped Germany solve the problem from scratch. In the future, when the German air force is transformed from a tactical air force to a strategic air force, it will certainly no longer be as at a loss as it is in the historical plane. Fang Yan, who thought of this, couldn't help but be full of happiness and joy. When he reaffirmed Sylvia's role and caused her to smile like a flower, Fang Yan suddenly thought of something and said to her again: "Siwei, can you help me ask His Father-in-law for a reliable person who can speak Finnish?" I'll need this guy's help soon. (To be continued.) )
