Chapter 1196: Jet Bomber (Plus 1)
Morning, half past nine.
At the Brandenburg airbase in southern Germany, there was a rumbling sound everywhere as the four engines of the Junkers-290 bomber started one after another, and after some inspection, they slid onto the runway in order.
In contrast to the shoddy Soviet products, which met the mass production in wartime, but had various problems such as bad mechanical failures, German products were excellent, which made the reliability of German weapons and equipment quite high.
Germany's talent for mechanics is unparalleled.
In later generations, when East Germany was under the rule of the Soviet Union, it was equipped with all Soviet equipment, and the reliability of the MiG-29 of the Soviets was quite low, but the air force of the GDR insisted on ensuring more than 90 percent attendance, creating a miracle.
And now, one after another, Junkers-290 bombers, from the runway, full power, flying into the blue sky one after another, for them, this is an easy bombing mission.
After they fly over the Baltic Sea, the F190 fleet will come to meet them and provide them with air escort, and as soon as the Soviets fighters come up, they will rush up to engage them as soon as possible, escorting their fighters.
At this time, they didn't know that in the wolf's den, there were still some people arguing.
"Actual combat is the only criterion for testing the truth, and our lightning bomber must be put into actual combat to be meaningful. This was an opportunity. ”
The person who spoke was wearing glasses and looked like a paranoid technician, he was none other than Walter Bloom, the technical director of the Arado aircraft company, and now he was trying to convince the Luftwaffe head of armaments production in front, Field Marshal Erhard Milch.
With the continuous expansion of the German army, various arms giants have been greatly developed, among which Messerschmitt, Focke-Wolf Aircraft Factory, Henschel Company, etc., have become the pride of the empire.
In comparison, the Arado Aircraft Company is not famous.
The history of Arado can be traced back to the aircraft factory set up by the Friedrethamn Aircraft Company in Warnemünde during World War I, which produced the FF49 seaplanes that were widely used in the war.
After World War I, the company's main business was to produce aircraft for other companies under license.
Although they have also designed some aircraft themselves, such as the S I two-seater trainer, it is still mainly produced under license. Even after Hitler came to power, the Arado Aircraft Company began to produce its own Ar 66 two-seat trainer and Ar 68 single-seat biplane fighter, and its main job was to produce the He 60, He 111 and Bf 109 under license.
Now, the German army has conquered the whole of Europe, and German companies have become important companies in Europe, in this case, of course, Arado also wants to develop its own company, so they are betting on their future on a cross-era aircraft.
AR234, Lightning Bomber.
To be able to play the name of Lightning, of course, means that this bomber is fast enough, but also because it uses a new power, a jet engine.
Germany's research on jet power began long ago, and Dr. Messerschmitt had already put a lot of effort into it, and Germany's first jet fighter was still in its infancy.
If you look at the standards of the ME262 of later generations, this jet fighter has already been reached, but Germany will not be satisfied, and their first fighter needs to meet the standards of the MiG-15.
At the same time, the German jet bomber project was launched at Arado, and two years earlier, the design of the E370, codenamed E370, was approved by the Reich, with an expected maximum speed of 830 km/h and a maximum range of 2,000 km.
Any good aircraft is inseparable from mature and reliable engines, and the current bomber uses the improved Jumo 004D engine.
This kind of engine has not yet met all the requirements of Ciric, but the thrust of the engine has exceeded 10 kN, and at the same time, the biggest feature is that the life has reached 300 hours.
The bomber used two Jumo 004D engines, which were hoisted under the wings, and the layout of a normal bomber was almost identical.
Test flights have been carried out many times, and it can be said that there are no problems with the formal finalization, but for some reason, the Reich has not given the order to finalize.
The Arado Aircraft Company is in a hurry, they are very confident in this bomber, and now the Führer Ciric is busy, and must have forgotten about it.
The Luftwaffe's operations were all secret, but this time it was openly declared that it was going to bomb Petersburg, and if its own bombers could complete the entire bombing process during this operation, it would definitely remain in the entire history of the German Air Force.
Now that the Junkers-290 fleet has begun to take off, Arado is still making a final effort, and Walter will have to convince the marshal in front of him.
"No, the Lightning bomber has not been finalized and put into service until now, which is a violation of regulations." Marshal Erhard said very simply: "This aircraft, to continue the test flight, after meeting our requirements, equip the troops, and carry out the bombing mission against the enemy, that is the business of the troops, not the task of our aircraft manufacturing company." ”
Erhard refused in one bite, but in fact, he didn't say the real reason.
For the sake of secrecy, of course.
For the Empire, jet fighters and bombers, which are the highest secrets of the Empire, cannot be displayed until now, just like the nuclear weapons that the Empire is developing.
This aircraft has not been finalized so far, that is because the existing Junkers-290 and Junkers-390 in the empire have been able to complete the existing tasks, and the new bombers will not be produced, but will continue to experiment and improve, and when it is necessary to mass-produce, the technology will definitely be more mature, this is the above consideration.
And these thoughts cannot be told to the impatient Walter in front of him.
"Marshal, if you do not agree, I will ask to go to Führer Ciric, I have here the signatures of all the designers of our aircraft company, and I will go to Führer Shirek on behalf of our aircraft factory!"
High-tech people are often good at drilling, and now Walter is obviously tired of Erhard's constant procrastination.
The finalization of the plane is constantly delayed, and the battle of your own side is not taken seriously, so go directly to the head of Shirek to see if you are afraid!
It is said that the Junkers are behind the scenes, and they are also planning a jet bomber project internally, and Marshal Erhard and the Junkers have intersections, and now it seems that these rumors may be true.
"Who wants to see me?" Just then, a voice sounded outside. Suddenly, the two people who were arguing were stunned.
