Along the way from Berlin Airport to Eric Industrial Park, Toth felt as if he had been beaten into a cold palace by Eric, leaving him with a pair of angry eyes.

After getting off the plane, Eric didn't say a word to Toth, and after arriving at the test flight site, Eric finally saw the huge countersunk system RM-30 cannon mounted on the BF-1.

He has experienced first-hand the risks of a leap into the wind.

Under Eric's personal intervention, the development of all walks of life in Germany always seems to lead the trend of the world, such as the F-D25 passenger plane, the maritime such as the 80,000-ton giant ship, the military such as the world's popular II and the world's attention III, as well as the Air Force's Do17, if you really want to talk about the shortcomings, it may be the navy, which is also Germany's consistent problem, but this situation is also improving.

But often this kind of forcible intervention will bring a series of unpredictable risks, in order to pursue the better, in order to satisfy the president, in order to make their own political performance more beautiful, countless unrealistic designs and ideas began to burst out, Toth's BF-1 with a 30mm cannon is a living example.

"Have you tested it on the ground? Can the fuselage of the BF-1 be strong enough? Eric pointed to the RM-30 cannon in the distance because it was forced into the belly of the aircraft, and it was not angry, not to mention the destruction of the airframe, not to mention the strong recoil force that could cause the plane to disintegrate directly in the air. This is really not something that an air marshal can do, and if he didn't want to rely on Toth to develop the strategic bombing force of the air force, he would even want to remove Toth from the title of marshal on the spot.

"We've tested it before, so we're going to fly it." Toth was a little embarrassed by Eric's accusation, after all, there were many air force generals on the scene who were his subordinates, and it was really depressing to lose face in public.

"Tear it down! All BF-1s that have already placed orders do not allow the retrofitting of RM-30 cannons. Eric didn't bother to explain that such a question of body strength was really not worth wasting his words.

Eric feels scared when he thinks about it now, Toth was very interested when Rheinland tested this weapon, why didn't he guess that there would be such a thing, it was a real headache.

"Huh?" Toth exclaimed before asking. "Why? This hasn't been tested yet..."

"There is no need to test the flight, this is not the same thing at all, and the fact that there is no problem with the ground test does not mean that the test flight is no problem." Eric explained in order to dispel this idea for Toth.

"The RM-30 cannon is a countersunk system, although because of these benefits, the loading mechanism has been changed, and it is more suitable for loading on the aircraft, and the rate of fire is also high, but the problem is that the recoil is too large, and the frequency is too high, and the aircraft cannot withstand such an impact when told to fly." Eric turned his head to look at the BF-1 that was still on the runway, and the test pilot sitting inside was too far away to see, so he asked. "Who is preparing for the test flight?"

"It's the captain of the 2nd Test Flight Group, Colonel Goering."

"I..." Eric was really speechless, "I really shouldn't have died, call him over." ”

As the order was delivered, Goering, who was about to take a test flight, hurriedly jumped off the plane and rushed over in a jeep, and was very excited to see Eric.

"Colonel Goering, how many times have you tried to fly before?" Eric only remembers seeing Goering test fly once before.

"Mr. President, 9 times." Goering replied quickly.

"What do you think about the addition of the RM-30 cannon?" Eric seems to want to get an intuitive feeling from the mouth of this excellent test pilot.

"I didn't think that this kind of plane would be equipped with cannons, so I didn't dare to say what the situation was, so I had to do my best. When I tried to shoot on the ground, I just felt that the smoke was very loud and the vibration was very strong, so if it was in the air, it would affect the shooting effect. Goering's answer was pertinent, cleverly not offending his boss and the president.

"Do you dare to test fly? Know that the stakes are high. Eric didn't know what was going on, but after seeing Goering, he had the idea of continuing to fly the test, whether it was out of trust in Goering's technology or something else, only Eric himself knew.

"No problem, we are all equipped with parachutes, and if you encounter a problem, you can parachute to escape, and I am not the first, I have had several parachute jumps before." Goering was able to become a test pilot because of his proud record and excellent skills, and he coincidentally survived many accidents.

"Okay, remember to parachute if you can't do anything, don't hold on, the Federal Republic of Germany still needs you people to work hard together." Eric said something nice and watched Goering leave.

It didn't take long for the BF-1's propellers to spin and buzz.

Because of the 39-kilogram RM-30 cannon loaded, the BF-1 did not take off easily, and there was a momentary sinking when leaving the ground.

Eric did not hide that appreciation, and directly failed to show his appreciation, after all, these test pilots have experienced all kinds of scenes, and their own skills are very good, and Goering belongs to the kind of leader, a talented person.

After a few standard test flights in the air, the plane quickly began to pull up, until the ground personnel needed to use binoculars to see the plane's appearance.

When Goering saw that the instrument was already 1,000 meters above the ground, he began to deflect the nose of the plane and flew towards the high-altitude balloon prepared in advance on the ground, which was about to open fire.

Simulating an airplane with a hydrogen balloon is also an option, as the high-altitude currents flow irregularly and can mimic the dodging of airplanes.

When firing on the ground, Goering had already learned that the countersunk shell used in this RM-30 cannon was much straighter in trajectory than the previous machine gun, and the muzzle velocity was also very high, which could reach more than 1,000 meters per second, which meant that he could fire at a greater distance.

Thoth planned to shoot at 1,500 meters, 1,000 meters, and 500 meters to see the hit rate, and then shoot a 25 mm nickel alloy steel plate for the tank at 1,000 meters on the ground.

Goering struggled to adjust the plane's attitude and cope with the instability caused by the air currents and the forcibly mounted RM-30 cannon, and finally pressed the button.

Tom tom to——!m to

A series of explosions resounded in Goering's mind, and the whole fuselage began to shake as if it had been smashed in front of him by dozens of cannons.

Goering hurriedly released the button, but the next sensation made him feel terrible, a series of cannonballs did hit the target, but there was a strange noise in the body.

Ga –

Just as Goering was about to slow down his speed, an abrupt sound came from the bottom of his feet, and Goering immediately felt the body start to shake incessantly, which was the sound of the cannon colliding with the body.

"Oh no, it's going to fall apart!" Goering secretly said that this aircraft could not withstand the continuous fire of the 30mm gun, and the theoretical rate of fire of the RM-30 was 240 rounds per minute, although the series of designs just now was only 3 seconds, but it also caused the aircraft to suffer a recoil force no less than that of a shell hit.

But Goering did not intend to give up, he was a test pilot, and he knew that if a test aircraft type landed safely after a failure, it would play a key role in improvement, and if it was dropped, it would only be studied by his dictation.

So Goering began to reduce the speed of the plane in this situation, trying to make the plane fly steadily, circling and descending, and the speed became slower and slower.

The people on the ground also saw the test launch just now, and after the shells concentrated the balloon, the sound spread after a few seconds made everyone listen to it very well, but then when the BF-1, which changed course, began to circle and descend, everyone immediately knew that there should be a malfunction.

Eric guessed the reason when he saw Goering start to change course, and looked at Toth with a tilted head, as if to say, "Look, I told you no." ”

Then Eric said, "This plane is good, it was actually carried down, I remember that when I saw this plane, I should not have been able to carry it, did I change the fuselage material?" ”

"Yes, Mr. President, the material of the fuselage has been changed, and it is a new type of dura aluminum and nickel alloy welded with higher strength." Toth replied truthfully, trying to downplay the defeat.

"Don't be discouraged, in fact, you want to install the machine gun on the idea is right, but you can't be too anxious now, and the BF-1 is too small, it is nondescript to use, it will affect the performance of the aircraft, install a machine gun for this guy, I plan to export it." Eric watched as BF-1 slowly spiraled down, as if he saw a large pile of gold rushing towards him.

"Huh? Export? Is such a good plane also sold? "Although he knows that his president is a businessman, he really can't adapt to the president who wants to sell things for money when he sees them.

"Such a good plane?" Eric is too lazy to argue, BF-1 is really good, with the bloodline of BF-109, BF-1 can indeed become a weapon of the times, but Eric and even the speed of development of aviation weapons, BF-1 will always become a chicken rib because the platform is too small and lacks room for improvement, it is better to sell it for money before then.

Of course, Eric didn't think about selling the plane indiscriminately, after all, in his opinion, the BF-1 has no doubt about dominating the sky for 10 years, and if he wants to sell it, he has to sell it to his teammates.

"Sell to the Ottomans, sell to Hungary, sell to Portugal, or sell to Argentina and intelligence." Eric is now bent on getting some gold back so that he can realize his ambition to control central Europe with gold reserves.
