Chapter 945: Wolf's Lair
In the early days, the DB601 could only output 1100 horsepower, but with the continuous advancement of technology, the improved DB605, using No. 96 C3 fuel, can stably output up to 1800 horsepower!
Moreover, to further improve the oil-gas compression ratio, using B4 fuel, a powerful power of 2000 horsepower can burst out in a short time.
That's not all, Daimler-Benz AG used a record-breaking solution for Messerschmidt, by injecting a strong oxidizer into the engine's turbocharger, which makes the engine burst out with an astonishing 2,300 hp in an instant.
In short, the reliable engine of the island country can only output 1480 horsepower, and if Germany provides a 2000 horsepower engine, it is enough for the aircraft of the island country to fly into the sky immediately, and it fully meets the performance requirements.
Anyway, now with the reduction of BF109 production, this engine is already rich enough, in this case, it is better to sell a batch to the island country.
The price, at least you have to add an extra zero to the back.
Thinking of this, his face showed an embarrassed expression: "I'm sorry, our domestic production line is running at full capacity, this engine to equip our passenger aircraft, bombers and fighters, there is no surplus to export, however, if you need it, I can contact you, we should have another engine in China, temporarily free up some of it for export." ”
Hearing his words, Kenichi Matsumura immediately became excited: "What engine?" How much horsepower? ”
"Our DB605 engine has between 1,800 and 2,000 horsepower." Rudel said.
DB605? Of course, Kenichi Matsumura knows that this engine is not suitable!
Generally speaking, large bombers do not have to worry about the cooling of the engine, after all, the engine is placed directly on the wing, there is plenty of space to cool, so there are more air-cooled engines.
However, this engine in Germany is liquid-cooled, and the island country has no experience in maintaining liquid-cooled engines before.
And now, Kenichi Matsumura is not satisfied with this engine, he wants an air-cooled engine!
Although the power is very good, enough for your own use, but this liquid cooling, how awkward to think about it.
"Of course, I'm just mentioning it, and if you don't think it's appropriate, then forget it." Rudel said.
Germany doesn't need to beg for island countries, it can't be done, this liquid-cooled engine, the performance has reached the peak, although the BF109 is not used, there are other aircraft!
Seeing that Rudel was leaving, Kenichi Matsumura hurriedly stopped him: "If possible, we will introduce a few experiments first, and if the performance meets the requirements, we will introduce hundreds of units." ”
Now the first batch of six prototypes is built, one of which is equipped with a German engine first, if the performance is good, you can order another batch, and at the same time, you can also wait for your own more powerful engine to mature.
One hundred, enough to equip twenty bombers, as an initial production model, the Navy is in a hurry!
"Okay, then I can contact China, and Mercedes-Benz may send experts to help you solve the installation problem." Rudel said.
When the bombing operation officially began a few months later, it was a big surprise that these bombers equipped with German engines actually participated in the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
The war machine of the island nation is always in motion, and a terrible war is brewing in the calm Pacific Ocean.
And on the other side of the globe, in the Brest Fortress, it is also attracting the attention of the whole world.
Faced with the defeat, the Soviets were furious, and under the orders of Moscow, the troops were moving in the direction of Brest to regain face.
And the German side, of course, was not to be outdone, and one by one troops were also transferred to the Brest Fortress, and moreover, they mobilized troops that were well-known in the European battlefield!
It seems that there is a possibility of war breaking out.
The East Prussian city of Rastenburg is a small town called Wolfschance near Grod.
From the outside, this forest is no different from other places, but outside the forest, the Gestapo is already densely covered, and it is a forbidden area for ordinary people to enter.
There are only various construction vehicles, constantly going back and forth, showing that in the forest, engineering projects are being carried out, and all construction vehicles belong to the vehicles of special units.
A single-track track leads deep into the forest, and the railroad is guarded on either side by soldiers of Hitler's Guard Banner. The railroad tracks jut out among the tall trees to a small station "Görlitz".
On this day, the surrounding defenses were stricter than before, and when a train came to a stop in the small station with black smoke, the station was even more vigilant.
The car door opened, and a tall middle-aged man jumped out of it, and when he came out, everyone raised their right arms and shouted that greeting excitedly.
The Chirek Führer!
This was the first time Ciric had been here, and in later lives, just before the crossing, he had been here to observe the ruins of the Wolf's Lair.
Yes, this is the wolf's den, the name was given by Hitler.
In addition to the headquarters in Berlin, there are also "Wolf Valley 2" in Maguival, north of Soissons, France, and "Giant" in Waubzhch, located in the Polish province of Lower Silesia, but this is the most famous one, because it was here that Hitler commanded the war of invasion of the Soviet Union.
Construction began last year and is now beginning to take shape.
Getting out of the car, Ciric saw two special towers erected in the middle of the forest, which were communication towers. In the middle of the two towers, in a small clearing, a huge entrance made of boulders and concrete can be seen.
Enter through this entrance and you will find the wolf's den.
Ciric didn't like to walk into the cold underground headquarters, in his previous life, these fortresses were like some kind of primitive sarcophagus, without windows, sunlight could not penetrate and did not ventilate unless heavy iron doors were opened.
The ventilation inside the fort is completely through the exhaust fan, but the noise is unbearable, and if you turn it off, you will feel like you are about to suffocate.
However, he knew that Berlin was not particularly safe, that the Americans would have strategic bombers, and that when the war was going on in the later stages, he would still need a more covert command structure.
Wolf's den, is the best choice. Later, in commanding the war against the Soviet Union, the wolf's den was also a more suitable command position.
