Chapter 350: Carrying Britain Hard

At the instigation of Britain, all countries in the world have accused Germany of developing its own navy beyond the limits and selling weapons and equipment to Turkey without restrictions, which is an irresponsible practice, and at the same time threatens to adopt various forms to control Germany's military and economy in an all-round way.

Very annoyed, Eric made a public address on national radio in which he unceremoniously exposed the hypocritical duplicitous practices of Britain.

Britain has the world's most powerful military power, and it has been selling its weapons all over the world, especially in sensitive areas, since before the First World War.

For this reason, the German Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Defense also made statements at domestic and foreign news conferences: Britain's move is wanton interference in Germany's internal affairs and normal international affairs, and Germany will not give in.

In order to give a powerful response to the Western hegemony that was constantly putting pressure on the German Confederation, Eric stressed that the German Navy needed not only to sail on the water, to cross underwater, but also to take off and land from the deck...... At the same time, he announced that Germany will hold an unprecedented tri-service combined exercise in the Mediterranean Sea in September.

It can be expected that with Eric's navigation and aviation ideas, new combat aircraft such as DO16 and BF-10 and the Navy's Z-21 series ships will be mass-produced and put into service.

The president's speech was an order, and the German people were united, and the whole country launched a vigorous competition for scientific research and innovation.

Even some research institutes hidden behind the scenes couldn't help but spare their energy to add fuel to the fire at this time, but unfortunately they were ruthlessly rejected by Eric.

At present, tests have begun on the BF-10 fighter jets installed in various units of the Air Force, and it is very likely that a naval model will be developed accordingly.

In the next few years, the DO16 model, which has been gradually finalized, is also stepping up preparations for mass production.

Obviously, with the construction and commissioning of aircraft carriers of the German Navy in the future, the North Sea, the Mediterranean, the North Atlantic and other places where Germany has conflicts of interest will be effectively guaranteed.

According to the information disclosed to the outside world by the Ministry of National Defense, the DO161 carrier-based aircraft, which is still being continuously improved, has received more run-in and drills in the past year, and is gradually maturing.

At the same time, the F-200F, a large transport aircraft developed and manufactured by Fokker, will also become an improved F-200C reconnaissance aircraft after it is gradually militarized.

Hugo Speer, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Air Force, said that the advent and service of Germany's advanced reconnaissance plane will be a major breakthrough and revolutionary progress in the military history of the world's air force.

In addition to some high-level projects, after consulting with Defense Minister Walter Brauchitsch and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Franz von Hipper, Eric decided to match the navy with suitable small ships, such as fast anti-ship torpedo boats, coastal defense patrol boats, and so on, so as to achieve a strong strike capability in the far seas and a strict denial and protection capability in the near seas, which can not only suppress the enemy at medium and long distances, but also be able to fight at sea in close combat.

In addition to completing the Turkish order, in accordance with Eric's instructions, the major ports in the north and south are in full swing, and the Z-21 series of large destroyers are already in the stage of modular assembly.

Because of Germany's relatively high level of industrialization and the construction of a total of 12 ships of the same type at the same time, for a time, the German Navy's large investment, development, and transformation attracted the attention of military fans at home and abroad.

Recently, especially after replacing Britain's global hegemony through World War I, the United States has not been at ease for a single day, and in addition to pointing fingers around the world, it has repeatedly stirred up trouble in the Balkans and Eurasia, and has repeatedly pointed the finger at the political, economic, and military development of the German Confederation. What merits even more vigilance is that, from a comprehensive analysis of the various signs that have been exposed in recent times, the suppression of Germany by the United States in recent times is an all-out attack that is extremely unfriendly in the economic, trade, military, and all-round aspects.

Now, Germany is facing a dangerous environment full of chaos.

At this critical time, Eric had strong support from the military and political circles, especially Defense Minister Walter Brauchitsch and Acting Chancellor Hans Luther.

In response to the groundless accusations and difficulties of the United States, Britain and other countries, Germany, which has always had the demeanor of a strong country, certainly cannot sit idly by; for this reason, Eric recently released news to major media at home and abroad that Germany is planning to respond from the military level.

In addition to traveling to major ports across the country, Eric also frequented aircraft manufacturing companies such as Henschel, Dornier and Juncker.

The development of the navy and air force is his eternal dream, so it is also the focus of his spare efforts.

In addition, whenever he has free time, he will quietly return to Dresden to have a look and pay attention to the research of rocket engine-related technology.

The new fighter engine jointly developed by Junker and Eric Group has been completed and will be installed for test flight, and has become a model of domestic strong cooperation.

The engine is one of the most advanced in the world, at the same level as the previous improved Z230 and the F440 in the United States, and even better, with the power expected to exceed the 1000 mark.

At present, the most suitable users of the latest engines developed by Junkers and the Eric Group are not models such as the D016 and D0161, nor the training aircraft produced by the Bavarian aircraft factory, but the Junkers-developed JU24 ground attack aircraft and more advanced next-generation carrier-based aircraft.

Because Juncker was keenly aware that President Eric Adrian would definitely make aircraft carriers the ultimate goal of a strong German federal army.

With a good engine, it is not a big problem to develop a sufficiently advanced fighter, and the net size of the new engine is basically at the same level as the Z230, F440 and other high-power engines, that is, its length, diameter, weight, etc. are not suitable for all kinds of models in service now, therefore, Juncker's goal has to aim at new carrier-based aircraft and fighters.

In fact, Eric was more focused on supporting the development of new models, and although he was sometimes not accustomed to Junker's arrogance, he was not opposed to the Bundesfzka's ability to have more advanced fighters to choose from.

Eric held back his strength and devoted himself to development, determined to answer the provocations of the Western powers led by Britain with practical actions.

But he was not only aware of Britain's concerns about Germany's rapid rise, but also the United States, an upstart who thought it could handle Germany at any time.
