After thinking for a while, Chen Yanlong finally decided to put Kesselring in charge of the air force operations of the Sicilian Campaign; As for Wolfgang? Feng? Richthofen put him in charge of the training of the reserve air force and the training of naval carrier-based aircraft. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After deciding on these things, he was ready to go to the Air Force Training School to see how the pilots were training.

However, before he left, he suddenly remembered that in the financial statements just now, it seemed that there were also payments paid in the occupied areas of Serbia and other small countries, as well as the wealth of those high-ranking officials and soldiers in the Great Purge he carried out, including the astonishing wealth of the corrupt officials of Goering who had escaped, were also recorded.

So Chen Yanlong hurriedly went to look at the financial statements just now, and after a while, he saw the information he was looking at, and also saw that these revenues were more than 100 million US dollars.

Seeing that he had an extra income of more than 100 million US dollars in this way, Chen Yanlong's mood suddenly improved; And even more cheerfully, he immediately went to the Berlin Chancellery and prepared to go to the pilot training base.

At this time, Speer brought together all the important personnel of the Steering Committee and the Business Union, as well as the Weapons Staff and the Fighter Staff for a joint meeting of the military and the armaments production departments.

After some intense deliberations, they unanimously decided on a target of 4,000 fighter jets per month, including the TA152 and Me262 jets, and 500 fighter-bombers per month, including the Ar234 Lightning-jet bomber, and 600 night fighters.

Although their goal is a bit exaggerated, it also represents Speer's readiness to go all out to implement the production targets of Chen Yanlong's new fighter and bomber.

For Speer, there is no shortage of personnel to make airplanes, but raw materials for making airplanes are relatively scarce.

In this regard, he can only scavenge resources from other occupying countries and regions to carry out mass production.

However, the good news is that turbojet engines offer incomparably huge advantages over piston aero engines in terms of cost and manufacturing man-hours.

The JUMO004 engine used in the ME262 jet fighter is priced at only 10,000 marks per unit; The unit price of the BMW 801 air-cooled engine used in the fw190 fighter is as high as 40,000 marks, and even the jumo213 liquid-cooled engine used in the new model of the fw190D fighter requires 35,000 marks.

In addition to the price advantage, the total man-hours of the JUMO004 engine engine including manufacturing, assembly and transportation only need more than 370 hours; In comparison, the BMW 801 air-cooled engine required a total of 1,400 man-hours.

However, it is a pity that there are advantages and disadvantages, the life of the turbojet engine is not long, only about 10 to 25 hours, even if it is made using the design drawings given by Chen Yanlong, it can only be used for 26 hours at most.

But even so, Speer still made up his mind to do his best to mass-produce these Me262 jet fighters for Chen Yanlong.

Because for him, who is not from a high background, if he wants to continue to climb up, then he absolutely needs Chen Yanlong, the head of a country, to be valued and promoted, otherwise even if he does a lifetime of work, he will not have much hope of being promoted and making a fortune.

Who told him that the current Speer has begun to like such a thing as power, it is like falling in love with drugs, which makes him obsessed.

After the meeting decided to mass-produce the fighters and bombers that Chen Yanlong had requested, Speer also very resolutely dispersed all the 28 large aircraft production plants originally distributed in Germany into 800 small and medium-sized enterprises, which were deployed in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Italy, France, Romania, Hungary and other different warlords and client states to carry out production, and could make full use of the resources of each country to increase production.

And many of these enterprises are small family-run factories, which are done to avoid being wiped out by large-scale air raids by the British and American allies.

In fact, the advantage of Speer's approach was not only to avoid concentrated bombing by the enemy's air force, but also to allow the air force of the German mainland to be stationed in the vicinity; As well as the self-organized fleet of aircraft produced by these aircraft production plants, for logistical support, as well as for counterattacks.

And at a time when Speer was speeding up the production of aircraft, in distant Algiers.

This place, which had been occupied by the British and American allies for six months, is now crowded with a large number of American troops, British troops, Canadian soldiers, and New Zealand soldiers......

The soldiers walked freely in and out of Algiers, and some of them were pickling girls; Some are on patrol, some are training, some are secretly shopping......

However, in this coastline is more than 20 kilometers long, the urban area is more than 70 kilometers long, and most of the streets and houses are built on hills; In the port city at the northern foot of the majestic Taylor Atlas Mountains to the south, there is still a very lively thing going on.

Because it is located in the northwest of Africa, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea in the north, Tunisia and Libya in the east; Algiers City, bordered by Niger, Mali and Mauritania to the south and Morocco and Western Sahara to the west; Vice Admiral Henry? Kent? Hewitt, listening to the national anthem, is in a salute posture at the same time.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Boom Boom Boom ......"

At the same time, in the anthem of (The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls); The Royal Navy's warship 'Maidstone' was also firing salute after salute.

Every time a salute was fired, the smoke from the warship would puff after puff; The roar was louder and louder, and rumbled through the hills around it.

At this time, Eisenhower was also standing beside Vice Admiral Hewitt, also motionless, solemnly saluting.

This salute was a brief celebration given by the British to the Americans to express their victory in the Battle of Tunisia; Inflicting heavy losses on the German army, as well as completely driving the German Afrika Korps out of Africa.

When the 48-gun salute was over, Vice Admiral Hewitt left in a hurry.

And he rode his command car, one of the privileged vehicles exempt from detention, through the winding streets and alleys, to the port of Algiers.

Here there are a lot of ships, and freighters, frigates, tankers, transport ships, as well as minesweepers, and landing craft.

In addition to these, there are also ships anchored in the area of the anti-submarine net in the harbor; And there are a large number of patrol aircraft in these ships and throughout the port; and destroyers escorting them, patrolling the ......

Vice Admiral Hewitt came here to be responsible for pooling three times the number of troops, as well as weapons and equipment, and military supplies, and to find a way to send them to the various beachheads of the Sicilian campaign that they were going to fight two years later, so as to pave the way for the landing operation.
