Chapter 161 Airlines

Liu Yun only pretended to be cool as Lao Jiang, so he smiled and reviewed his mistakes, Lao Jiang didn't know what this guy thought, he was suddenly angry in his heart, and soon calmed down again, and said with a wry smile, "I, Jiang, have also experienced the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, and I used to be a soldier who charged ahead and retreated behind."

Then Lao Jiang didn't say anything else, as for whether Liu Yun wanted to find Liu Xiang next, or wanted to see Kenhausen next, he didn't have any opinions, if there was nothing else, he suggested that someone go back to West Sichuan County as soon as possible, where there are many projects and things are busy, and he must not miss a major event because of personal personal affairs.

At this moment, Liu Yun even had an illusion, feeling that Lao Jiang and Li Shengde were the real confidants, and their views on some people and things were actually the same way, perhaps, this is the so-called "heroes see the same thing", it is really a kind of luck to be their students.

Subsequently, Liu Yun went to Falkenhausen's residence, and after asking some information, he learned that Berlin had basically adopted all of their proposals, and that it might take some time for the agricultural expert group, and as for the experts in the airplane, they had already arrived in Nanjing, and even the German "original flying saucer" had arrived, and the Nanjing advisory group was also considering whether to use air or water transportation.

Liu Yun is moved in his heart, in order to transport some industrial equipment back to western Sichuan, it is simply exhausted, the German flying saucer is very important, if it can be transported back to western Sichuan County as soon as possible, it is also beneficial and harmless, water transportation is indeed a bit unreliable, air transportation, but you can think of a way.

Before Liu Daguan could figure out how to do things well, Falkenhausen was thoughtful, stared at him, and asked with a smile, "Dear Liu, these days, you have been in the limelight, if you guess correctly, there is a new transport plane, I don't know how the performance is?" ”

I also know the character of the Germans, like to go straight, Liu Yun is too lazy to avoid, between friends, only integrity, cooperation can be long-lasting, so the performance of the Flying Bear II., roughly said, when he learned that it could carry 26 passengers, Falkenhausen was also dumbfounded.

However, the German general was not a fool, and quickly guessed the reason, this seemingly powerful plane, most of which sacrificed comfort, and the so-called 26 passengers, is for the Asian body, if it is the kind of big soldiers in Europe and the United States, it can carry fifteen or sixteen.

Therefore, Liu Yun's transport aircraft, in fact, compared with Germany's current Ju52 transport aircraft, compared with the United States, is not much stronger, Ju52 finalized mass production time is 1932, empty weight of 6.5 tons, the maximum take-off weight of 11 tons, carrying up to 4.5 tons, compared to the Flying Bear II 2.2 tons, more than twice as high, if it comes to air combat or range, of course, the Flying Bear is slightly better.

The key problem is that Germany's territory is small, if the range of the plane is too long, in fact, there is no use for birds, the maximum distance between east and west, north and south, is only a few hundred kilometers, even if they want to attack France, if they take off from Berlin, it will only be about 1,000 kilometers to Paris, unlike China, which is vast, thousands of kilometers apart at every turn, and it is close to 2,000 kilometers just from Sichuan West County to Nanjing.

Of course, in Germany's original plan, it may not have thought of an expedition to Moscow at all, not to mention the particularity of the Soviet Union, not to mention the cold problem at high latitudes, just talk about the space distance, it takes 2,200 kilometers to travel by train, don't think about the highways of that era, Germany has just begun to build highways, and it is impossible for planes to fly in a straight line, so it has to be calculated according to more than 2,000 kilometers.

Falkenhausen is neither a god nor a traveler, naturally does not know the future of Germany, the outbreak of World War II in 1939, swept across Europe in 1940, and then the remaining years are basically all in the struggle with the Soviet army, and finally dragged to exhaustion, beaten to death by the Allies.

However, when Liu Yun said that the Flying Bear transport aircraft carried 2.2 tons, Falkenhausen whistled easily, the original flying saucer, the size is not large, when it is not damaged, it is 4 meters in diameter and 2 meters high, and now it is only 3×4×2 meters, and the weight is only a pitiful 1.7 tons.

Liu Yun is also stupid, this is the famous flying saucer, the legendary artifact that can fly with interstellar curvature, and at worst can shuttle between planets, this volume and block, tsk, not to mention all kinds of aircraft, even slightly larger tanks or armored vehicles, which are countless times stronger than this thing.

It seemed that Liu Yun's eyes saw contempt, so Falkenhausen told him very seriously, don't underestimate the original flying saucer, not to mention that since the First World War, many advanced technologies in Germany have come directly or indirectly from it, that is, the actual performance, which is far beyond the technology of this era.

Take the shell of the flying saucer as an example, it looks very light, the German army has experimented, if the comprehensive performance, it is about more than 10 times that of steel, and it has semi-invisible performance, just by visual capture, it is in vain, if it were not for the fact that Germany only found such a little raw material, Hitler would have ordered that the raw materials on the flying saucer be removed and made into Germany's own super fighter.

Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Liu Yun also understood, it seems that Germany has hidden several hands on him, flying saucers should be divided into motherships and subships, and motherships should also be divided into several types, similar to today's destroyers, cruisers, battleships and aircraft carriers, so Germany should have at least one large carrier.

And the flying saucer transported is equivalent to a torpedo boat, a lifeboat, or a fighter jet or something like that, so the size is small and the weight is low, which is easy to explain, and at the same time, since it is a wreckage, then whether it is a mothership or a flying saucer, it should not be much stronger.

In general, the Germans still have sincerity, this kind of black technology far ahead of the times, is Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries, is also salivating, this time to China, but also to Liu Yun's mechanical design ability, hoping to let him get inspiration from it, design better planes and tanks.

However, Liu Yun also has a secret advantage, that is, the brain and the ant robot, if you learn from the flying saucer, I am afraid that there will be a "chemical reaction", as for how much effect it can have, I am afraid that only after he sees the flying saucer, the brain can provide detailed data.

Then Liu Yun and Falkenhausen, the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and it just so happened that the Germans were currently in the city, and there were more than a dozen experts, mainly military and electronics experts, these were Liu Daguan's shortcomings, and he was pleasantly surprised for a while, and hurriedly wanted these experts to take his passenger plane back to West Sichuan County.

Falkenhausen is a little helpless, because the road is far away, there are many kinds of equipment, they are some advance personnel, the reason why they are staying in the city at present, is mainly to meet the follow-up personnel, if you add the agricultural experts required by Liu Yun, the total number will exceed 200 people.

Liu Yun had no choice but to take a step back, since he was a front station, he simply suggested that Falkenhausen first detach some personnel and follow him back to West Sichuan County, so as to build a comfortable nest in the town for the upcoming German expert group, because many things can only be known by experiencing it in person.

Falkenhausen had to admit that perhaps Liu Yun's suggestion was right, so he still led the team, led six electronic experts, and carried some equipment, and first settled in a small town in western Sichuan, focusing on assisting Liu Daguan and the people to develop a new type of tank that Berlin needed as soon as possible.

Liu Yun did not have any doubts about this, on the contrary, he also offered to share his aircraft technology with Germany, and if there were suitable pilots in the Nanjing advisory group, he would not mind taking out a few planes and letting them fly first to see, it would be better to open a route from Nanjing to West Sichuan County.

Falkenhausen also had an idea, since China and Germany can cooperate militarily, why can't they jointly engage in the air transport industry, so he wrote and drew on paper, roughly constructed the framework of the Sino-German United Airlines, and then pulled Liu Yun to find Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang and others.

Fortunately, during this period, Liu Xiang and Sichuan Jun, the relationship with Lao Jiang was in the honeymoon period, and they often discussed important matters together, as long as one of them was found, the other was probably not far away, Liu Yun and Falkenhausen were busy for a while, and in Lao Jiang's official residence, they really found these two big guys.

Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang also agreed with the proposal of United Airlines, but there was one point, hoping that the Germans would help Huaxia train more pilots while engaging in business, and Falkenhausen had no doubts, after all, the Germans could not be busy with medical care, ground handling and maintenance.

It turned out to be so smooth, even Liu Yun felt that it was a little unreal, it may be because China in this era was too backward, and none of the more fashionable planes, tanks and warships could be produced by themselves, since the Germans were willing to help with air transportation, they were naturally happy to see it.

In addition, the old Chiang was very shrewd, he asked the Huaxia Air Force to participate in the whole process, United Airlines, from the beginning directly subordinate to the Nanjing Military Commission, to be exact, Chiang Kai-shek himself was the president of the airline, and Falkenhausen could not tell whether it was military or civilian.

Regarding Falkenhausen's question, Liu Yun said half-truths afterwards that Jiang Weizuo did this for the good of United Airlines, and there were many warlords in China during this period, and they liked to be trick-or-treated, and if there was no big man staring at it secretly, all kinds of troubles would roll in.

Falkenhausen is a person who pursues efficiency, as long as Sino-German United Airlines can be successfully completed, he doesn't care about other things, as for Liu Yun said this, he was not interested in the slightest, and after saying goodbye to Liu Xiang and Lao Jiang, he took the flying bear transport plane and flew back to West Sichuan County with someone.

Dealing with friendly Germans, Liu Yun is very straightforward, as soon as he arrived in the small town of western Sichuan, before Falkenhausen was completely kicked, he took out the tank drawings that had already been designed, this light tank, is a smaller version of the previous Leopard tank, the biggest feature is the addition of composite armor.

The new tank has a clear water chestnut and a low body, completely in the shape of a tank decades later, with a total weight of 24 tons, the caliber of the gun fire is still 88 mm, and a G34 machine gun, the thickest part of the armor, equivalent to 130 mm of homogeneous steel plate, equipped with a newly baked engine, can provide 550 horsepower, a top speed of up to 55 km / h, and can travel 480 km without trouble.

To be honest, the combat effectiveness of this new tank is actually no worse than that of the Leopard tank, the only deficiency is the thickness of the armor, and this time Liu Yun did not embarrass the Germans anymore, and it was very humane to consider the difficulty of manufacturing, and the engine that should have been 620 horsepower was reduced to 550 horsepower.

In addition, the concept of composite armor is also refreshing to the Germans, in fact, it is not very profound, that is, steel is mixed into a certain rare metal, and then woven into layers of steel wire mesh, combined with ceramic sheets and other fillers, to form a convenient and effective new armor module.

Liu Yun directly gave the data of composite armor according to the simulation of the brain, frontal armor like a new tank can basically be immune to 75 mm artillery fire, as for 105 mm artillery fire, just ask for more blessings, but the tank's own speed is fast enough, and it should be fine to pay more attention.
