Chapter 1197: The mission is earned
The Führer of Ciric is here!
When Walter said that just now, he didn't really want to go to Ciric for comment, after all, the head of State Ciric has a lot of opportunities every day, and he has to deal with a lot of military and political affairs every day, how can he come to listen to the nagging of a technician in one of his factories?
And now, Ciric actually came, which made Walter excited, and immediately stood up from his seat, raised his right arm to Ciric, and shouted slogans.
Ciric returned the salute, walked a few steps, sat down in a chair, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Führer Cirek, Arado wants to put the latest jet bomber into this bombing mission." Marshal Erhard said: "This bomber has not yet been finalized and cannot carry out combat missions. ”
Hearing Erhard's words, Cirek immediately understood, prohibiting jets from entering the battlefield, it was an order given by Ciric himself, just for fear of leaking the technology of this aircraft.
It's just that Ciric didn't expect that this method of suppressing the aircraft company too much would make the people in the aircraft company feel unvalued, and then they came to fight.
"Our plane, has gone through more than 300 test flights, a total of more than 400 hours of flight, fully meet the requirements set by the army, we even have bombing and sighting equipment in place, even a few days ago, we also carried out high-altitude bomb delivery experiments, the accuracy has also reached the requirements, this time, we are going to bomb Petersburg, this is an important event, our lightning bombers, should not be absent anymore, Shirek Führer, all our technicians, asked the lightning bombers to participate in this battle, Even if only one bomb is dropped, we can be satisfied. ”
Walter said, taking out the signature from his briefcase, including designers, technicians, factory workers involved in manufacturing, test pilots, densely signed thousands of names on it.
With this list, even Cirek felt the weight of it, this jet bomber, it is indeed time to show its majesty.
Originally, according to Ciric's assumption, jet bombers would only be on the battlefield later, but the fuel consumption rate of jet bombers was higher than that of propeller planes, so it would probably take a long time for a long-range intercontinental bomber to bomb the United States to make a breakthrough, and it would be ten or eight years.
As for the technical leakage, this bombing of Petersburg, the routes along the way are already its own territory, and at the same time, the altitude and speed of the jet bomber allow it not to worry about any interception, as long as there is no mechanical failure, there will be no risk of leakage.
Since the people below are so eager to fight, it is better to agree to this operation.
Thinking of this, Ciric nodded: "Okay, then I can approve the bombing operation of this lightning bomber, only one plane is allowed to take off, drop the bomb, and return immediately." ”
"But, Führer Ciric—" Hearing Ciric's words, Marshal Erhard was about to object, but was stopped by Ciric's eyes.
"Well, the Soviets want to use the bombing of Berlin to build momentum for their resistance and increase the confidence of the people, so let's use this special bomber to show the Soviets that in the face of our German war machine, there is only one way for them to perish!"
The bombing of Petersburg was actually aimed at undermining the confidence of the Soviets, letting them know that in front of Germany, they were like ants, and that Germany's war machine was incomparably powerful.
Now with the crossing of Ciric, Germany is stronger than at any time in history, and in this current war, the side with advanced science and technology will occupy the absolute initiative.
"Yes, we'll get the job done!" Walter stood up excitedly, made the gesture to Ciric again, and hurried away.
He had to hurry, because the Air Force's Junkers-290 had already taken off, and they had to hurry up, and they couldn't wait for the Air Force bombers to blow up Petersburg to the ground, and their own jet bombers would arrive, right?
Lightning bombers, to appear like lightning in the sky over the enemy and make the enemy tremble, they must be the first to fly to Petersburg!
The telegram giving the order quickly reached the Arado factory in Brandenburg.
On the runway outside the factory, the Lightning bombers had already completed all the preparations, and just yesterday they rechecked the entire bomber, filled it with fuel, hung bombs, and even the pilots began to familiarize themselves with the route to Petersburg.
They've been preparing for a long time, and now, they've finally gotten the order to take off!
Walter Kroelgel and Johann Ube Janssen, carrying their flight caps, ran out of the preparation room, jumped into the commuter next to them, and said, "Take us to the plane at once, we're taking off!" ”
Both of them are test pilots of the Alado company, and they are also the ones who have flown the lightning bomber the most, and the two have been gearing up for a long time, and now, the mission has finally been issued.
Lightning bombers, getting closer and closer to them.
This bomber has a smooth shape, the nose is glass, it looks like a big-headed fly, has a good view, unlike other bombers, this bomber is a two-seater, the bomber pilot and bombardier sit on both sides, not the bomber in the nose position like a normal bomber.
This is completely determined by the size of the aircraft, and the current bomber, at most, is classified in the sequence of medium bombers, and its take-off weight does not exceed ten tons, and even in history, it is completely controlled by one person.
Now, in order to complete the high-altitude bomb delivery mission, the operation of sophisticated high-altitude bomb throwing equipment has added additional bombardiers.
The fully transparent nose makes it easy for the bombardier to control.
The upper single wing, the wing is an all-metal structure, the internal structure is composed of two main spars and 29 ribs, and the outside is wrapped in a load-bearing skin. With four large bolts, the wing-body can be separated. The hydraulically driven flaps on the trailing edge of the wing were split in two by the engine. The Featherer ailerons on the outside of the flaps have small wing chords.
From the outside, the biggest difference from other aircraft is that there are no propellers, and the two cylindrical engines hanging from the wings are fixed to the spars by three bolts.
The volume of these two engines is quite huge, it looks a little bulky, and at the same time, on the outside of the engines, there are special take-off booster rockets.
The landing gear at the first three o'clock is not small, and the whole plane looks even more cute, not like a weapon of war, but a little like a Christmas mascot.
