764 night fighter

It is unrealistic to expect a man like Goering to really devote himself to the cause of building the Air Force.

The only thing that could get him up and running at full speed was the whip in the Führer's hand.

In the 21st century, there are countless employees in such enterprises, and if the leaders do not supervise and have no fear of the leaders, they will procrastinate their work.

Interestingly, when the leader is in power, or someone makes some small reports, these employees will scold the street and work hard at the same time.

As for resignation, it is absolutely undesirable and unwilling, this phenomenon is so common that everyone is not surprised.

Don't think that Germans are better than other races, their strict side sometimes becomes rigid, and they slack off, and they really do exactly the same as other peoples.

Out of fear of the Führer, and fear of the shadow, Goering arranged for his henchmen to visit factory H4.

As for how many planes the H4 plant can produce in a year, he himself is not interested.

It's one thing to watch the Reich's Air Force grow from scratch, it's another thing to dedicate everything to the Air Force.

Goering once said to his subordinates, "The Führer never asks me how many planes I have, he only asks me how many planes."

So Goering did what he liked, producing only small aircraft that were easier to produce, and as far as possible not producing strategic bombers and large transport aircraft.

Although this choice was the right choice in the face of material shortages, it did reveal Göring's teasing of the Führer.

From a professional point of view, he used his knowledge to deceive the Führer and many others by playing a numbers game against the Führer of great joy.

It is a pity that when the Führer turned into a shrewd professional, even more professional than Goering, the Reich Marshal could not be deceived.

The Führer knew more about the data he deceived than he did, and the Führer even asked him to report on the performance parameters of the aircraft and record the specific model of each aircraft in detail.

In this way, no one will be able to make a fuss about the data, because the Führer knows what any one piece of data does.

For example, in the case of night fighters, the Führer requires that it must have an airborne radar and be equipped with large-caliber interceptor artillery in order to be called a night interceptor fighter.

Those single-engine planes that were temporarily counted could not be called night fighters under any circumstances.

At the same time, the Führer often asked scientists technical questions, and the questions raised by the Führer were very sharp, which made scientists and technical engineers admire.

Goering had no foresight in new technology, and he could only learn something new from behind the Führer's ass, let alone use his mastery to deceive the Führer.

At the meeting, the head of state raised a very clear focus on the technical issues related to radar, and he only asked a few important questions, such as the improvement of the detection range of radar, the ability to resist interference, and the ability to popularize new technologies and the difficulty of mass production.

Solving these problems is equivalent to comprehensively improving the performance parameters of the radar, which cannot be faked at all.

The reason why Goering was able to monopolize the power of the air force is actually very simple: among those who understand technology, he is the most capable of commanding, among commanders, he is the most loyal, and among loyal people, he knows technology best......

Such a person can often be the right-hand man of a leader with balanced attributes, because he is well-rounded and balanced - the only problem is that if the leader's attributes change, he is likely to be eliminated immediately.

When the leader understands the technique, then he needs to command more capable subordinates, and at the same time only demand loyalty from such people. The other attribute technology becomes dispensable.

So the problem with Goering now is that the Führer is more technologically savvy and has the temperament of a leader than he is, and he does not have much competitiveness other than loyalty.

This also triggered the Goering crisis this time, and also put the Luftwaffe's fighter road to the fast lane of development.

Because of Goering's crisis, the speed of development of jet fighters was raised to an unprecedented level.

Aside from the rest, the development of a new jet fighter, codenamed Raven, in Germany, is faster than in history.

The test flight of the Raven has reached a critical stage, and some air combat performance data often set new records in air combat.

The test pilot easily used this single-engine jet fighter to abuse the double-engine ME-262 fighter that had not yet been officially put into service.

Not to mention the propeller fighters in service, all the air combat tests have proven that the Führer's judgment that jet fighters are the future of the Air Force is correct.

The Jet Raven has been approved to build 20 for testing and training fighter pilots, 10 of which are extended two-seater models for training.

This also allowed the Raven Jet Fighter to have two different versions of the model before it was officially put into service, one was the A single-seat model and the other was the B two-seat model.

"When you go, just grab the production of engines......" Goering commanded his henchmen.

The henchman nodded, this is also the key to the production of aircraft. After all, the engines of the American B-17 bombers were very good, and the German imitation model did not even bother to improve it.

Under such a premise, the number of engines produced will also affect the number of JU-118 bombers produced.

And the number of JU-118 bombers is also a weapon production schedule that the Führer is very concerned about.

The Führer very much wanted Germany to have more than 500 strategic bombers, for which he even abandoned the operational plan to bomb Moscow with 100 bombers.

The Luftwaffe had a thin base, so if they wanted to increase the number of aircraft, they could only rely on accumulation, and they could not accumulate in the process of consumption.

This is where the gap between Germany and the United States lies: at least for now, Germany has not been able to maintain a rapid growth in its air force at the cost of 100 pilots a day.

"In addition, the Führer intends to convert the ME-262 fighter into a night fighter, and insists on producing only two-seaters, you should also care about it......" Goering added when his henchman walked to the door.

The ME-262 fighter, which was originally shocked by the Air Force, was barely even put into service, and could only be used as a supplement to the night combat effectiveness of the Raven fighter, which is really a bit embarrassing.

Who would have thought that the world's first combat jet fighter turned out to be a night fighter......
