The sparkling district of Verinsee is a small and beautiful town that is the smallest federal state capital in Germany due to its small population, and it is also the oldest city in Germany, called Schwerin.

When you approach Schwerin, you will find that the scenery here is picturesque, colorful, and contains infinite vitality, which makes people yearn for it. The lake flows into the city with its characteristic tenderness, reflecting the bright skies and floating white clouds of northern Germany, which is elevating and soothing.

Anthony? Falk is a passer-by and a frequent visitor to this small city, but he is like a host, in fact, he is nothing, he is more like a wealthy beggar, he has wandered several times, and his heart has been wandering. He was just an aircraft designer, a very fanatical designer. His Fokker aircraft assembly plant was located in Schwerin. It was Faulk who influenced Schwerin, and it was the small city of Schwerin that made Fokker himself, who always wanted to fly.

Federal President of the German Confederation Erik? Adrian has always admired Anthony? Fokker has visited his Fokker aircraft assembly plant many times, and has repeatedly put forward strict requirements and repeated demonstrations for Fokker's reconstruction and expansion projects.

The reason why President Eric cared so much about the Fokker aircraft assembly plant was basically clear to the officials accompanying him, because this plant was one of Germany's main aircraft suppliers during World War I, accounting for 30% of Germany's total aircraft supply during World War I, and it was also one of the most promising and promising aircraft factories in the German Confederation. From 1915 until the end of the First World War. The Fokker Aircraft Yard produced a range of high-performance fighters, totaling more than 3,500 aircraft, forming the mainstay of German air power. Among them, Fokker D-7 and Fokker D-8 are two very representative fighters with firepower, especially Fokker D-8, which was once called "flying razor" by the British Air Force, which shows its excellent performance.

Erwin? General Rommel was one of the entourages of the expedition team, after the end of the First World War, all the equipment of his 502 tank battalion was given to the French by Eric, for this reason, he had been haunted, his spirit almost collapsed, he did not eat or drink for several days, and the whole person lost a lot of weight, however, he did not blame the president, he knew that President Eric was helpless, because the terms of the "Berlin Peace Treaty" contained this article, if Germany refused to implement this clause, the peace talks of the 27 countries would be postponed indefinitely, It can't even be done. As the only military attache among the officials on this expedition, Rommel was the one who was personally named by Eric to participate, which made him seem to see the hope of the revitalization of the armed forces of the federal state again, and also inspired him to look forward to the new equipment, but he did not realize that he could become the most likely person in the German Confederation to provoke the pillar in the future, and he did not know the ulterior motives of President Eric at this moment.

Originally, I thought that Rommel was only interested in tanks flying on land, but I didn't expect this battle-hardened general to be in love with weapons such as fighter jets flying in the blue sky. Rommel was very willing to participate in the discussions of experts and technicians, and was able to put forward his valuable opinions in a very targeted manner.

As the former commander of the 502nd Tank Battalion, Rommel summed up a lot of valuable experience through many actual combat battles, and also better understood the weaknesses of tanks, and at the same time gave him a deeper understanding of fighters in the sky. Obviously, in the future battlefield, with the continuous replacement of aircraft, the aircraft in the sky is undoubtedly the nemesis of tanks, if the German Confederation had more advanced and more powerful fighters at that time, the British and French tanks in the Battle of the Somme would not be so unstoppable. At this moment, Rommel thought that it would be better if the two generals, Manstein and Guderian, also came to participate in the expedition, but they were now busy with the theoretical training of the new cadets, after all, once the new German equipment came out, these combatants who had been trained in advance would have to be familiar with it and use it freely.

Rommel's interest was fully aroused, and President Eric was impressed by the fact that the emphasis on airplane-to-ground strikes was also very much in line with the theory of air warfare. The fact that the Tiger on Land and the Eagle in the Sky could have become one gave Eric a new vision of the future of warfare, and he wanted to instill this new concept of warfare in the hearts of every combat commander and even every soldier. Eric called Rommel over and said: "In the future, training cannot be carried out only in a single branch of the army, and Germany must not only focus on the army, but we must also have an invincible air force in the world and a navy that can go on expeditions of thousands of miles, and none of the three services should be left behind, and none of the three services should be weakened, and it is necessary to strengthen joint mobile exercises and master the mode of projecting troops and equipment to the rear of the enemy's army, so as to achieve a high degree of compatibility among the various branches of the armed forces." 'Points', you can't take care of one or the other, you must be able to overcome it! 'Together', you can't scatter the sand, you must be able to control the enemy! The three armed forces should understand each other, support each other, rely on each other, and restrain each other. In future training, we should also focus on the confrontation between the three armed services and the linkage of the three services, and this should become the norm. ”

President Eric's sonorous and concise speech made Rommel remember it for a lifetime, and it also became the magic weapon of General Rommel to gallop on the battlefield in the future.

The 502 Tank Force was once the world's first mobile unit with a complete combat system, and as the actual combat commander of this unit, it was necessary to know very well who the natural enemies of the tank were.

In the First World War, in order to reduce the dead weight and increase the thrust-to-weight ratio, the fighters of various countries almost without exception used aluminum as the skin of the aircraft, and at the same time used aluminum to process the load-bearing parts of the aircraft, which led to a great discount in the service life and impact resistance of the aircraft, therefore, Eric had a bold idea, first of all, he wanted to change the main structure material of the aircraft, using stainless steel materials that are more wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and stronger, but the problem also followed, after the weight of the aircraft increased, However, the manufacturer had to consider another factor, that is, the lack of engine power, which seriously affected the bomb load and fuel storage capacity of the aircraft, and also affected the aircraft's ability to climb and fight in the air.

Eric already had a plan in his heart, and the reason why he came to the scene was actually to solve this thorny problem as soon as possible.

Because of the change of materials, Fokker's aircraft manufacturing has been greatly affected, especially the development of engines, which has been slow and even unable to achieve breakthroughs in the short term.

Before coming to Solingen for an inspection, Eric had a detailed understanding of the high-power engine jointly developed by Eric and Porsche, and communicated his initial ideas to the two research institutes. Because of the relationship between the subordinates, of course, Eric will not have objections, however, Porsche is very indifferent, in the words of Mr. Porsche himself, he has long had the idea of developing an airplane, since Fokker is good, who dares to say that Porsche can't? So, he made his "ambitions" clear to President Eric.

President Eric understood Porsche's feelings very well and promised to give Porsche appropriate preferential policies in other areas, but in the end, Porsche reluctantly signed his name on the contract.

Fokker was very grateful to President Eric's immediate help, which he considered very significant, and said that he would speed up the development and try to make the aircraft pass the prototype as soon as possible.

Defense Minister Brauchitsch, who accompanied the tour, noticed a detail, Anthony ? The expression on Falk's face was extremely rich, although he showed a happy look, in fact, he almost didn't hang up in his heart, and he could see the embarrassment and solemnity from his expression. Aircraft manufacturing has entered the era of competition, and the engine is the heart of the aircraft, and as a giant in this industry, it has not made up for its shortcomings in this important link, and lags behind a non-field car manufacturer. Fokker reminded him and sounded the alarm, if Fokker does not raise the engine development process to the agenda in the short term, if Porsche also enters the aircraft industry, the market competition will be white-hot in the future, Anthony? Where will Fokker be faced, where will Fokker be faced.

The engine problem was finally solved temporarily, but it was no less than a bombshell, which woke up the complacency of Faulke. During the ensuing expedition, Falk followed Eric closely and expressed his vision for the future, hoping to get the president's support and help. Eric knew that Fokker was an innovative man, and although he was not a good student when he was in school, he must have done well in the field of aircraft. So, I also gave Fokker a lot of encouragement.

After leaving the Fokker Aircraft Assembly Company, Eric turned around and repeatedly exhorted the experts and technicians who stayed behind to help Fokker, and warned them that scientific research work should not stay in the same place, but must be difficult and strict, constantly explore new heights, constantly improve the level of aircraft manufacturing, and proceed from actual combat, overcome various technical difficulties, and strive to put Fokker aircraft into service as soon as possible.

Eric and his team continued north, with Wilhelmshaven as the last stop on his expedition to western Germany. The shipyards here are similar to those in the Ruhr area on land, where there is already a full-fledged industrial base and port terminals, but due to the lack of stamina due to the war, the busy scene of previous years has become very depressed. In Eric's plan, it will once again be reborn, with energy and raw materials sourced from all over the world going from here to processing companies throughout the German Confederation and into an enviable supply of industrial products all over the world.
