Chapter 138: The Entente's Eagle Disaster

At the end of October, Germany launched a new monoplane in the European theater.

This monoplane has a speed beyond the average aircraft, and is a little faster than the Eagle 2 sold by the East China Autonomous Political Axe, making it the fastest aircraft at present.

However, this monoplane caused an unprecedented catastrophe for the aircraft of the Entente.

Because this is a kind of fighter! A fighter that can mount a machine gun in front.

On 23 October, the British and French forces dispatched more than 100 bombers, as well as more than 20 Eagle 2 escorts, and they suffered an unprecedented blow in front of the German defensive line.

A monoplane appeared before their eyes, no one had ever seen such an aircraft, but the Anglo-French pilots did not realize that death was approaching.

Their bomber swarms have powerful flank firepower!

Although the bombers made by the Chinese generally no longer have many machine guns on the flanks, there is one on the side, and the flank firepower of the Eagle reconnaissance aircraft is much stronger.

However, the oncoming planes suddenly fired a series of bullets, and the two bombers were hit on the spot, and their heads tilted and fell downward, booming ...... Rumble...... After two loud bangs, both bombers exploded into a mushroom cloud.

"Oh! My God! What the hell is this......"

"Look, there's Chinese...... on it"

"I can't see anything...... Yes! My eyes ......"

The British and French pilots looked at the plane in front of them in amazement, and immediately panicked. These German fighters did not stop the British and French planes head-on, but mostly waited at an oblique angle, and when the British and French bombers rushed by, they immediately chased after them.

These German fighters bit their tails and punched all the way!

With the clatter of machine gun bullets, the British and French planes in front of them continued to fall from the sky, and those British and French planes that were not shot down, many pilots almost collapsed mentally, and some pilots even made a forced landing on the ground, and they wanted to surrender...... They don't want to lose their lives, they want to go home and be with their families.

Some pilots wanted to escape, but the planes that were beyond their comprehension were so fast that they simply didn't have time to escape.

About half an hour later, most of the British and French bombers were annihilated by the Germans, and more than 30 of them were forced to land on the ground and captured by German soldiers.

A great victory kicked off the Anglo-French air disaster.

According to the reports of the pilots who fled back, they saw Chinese on the kind of plane of the Germans, and the Chinese looked the same as the one on the Eagle 2, a 'Eagle' plus a 3!

Fools who see this sign know that this is a new type of aircraft developed by the Chinese. Therefore, this Allied air force disaster is known as the 'Eagle Disaster'.

In the next few days, the Luftwaffe, escorted by the Eagle 3, drove straight into the skies over the Entente, which was simply a god blocking and killing a god and a Buddha!

The downed planes of the British and French forces reached more than 200 in three days, which can be described as heavy losses.

By the fourth day, three airfields of the Anglo-French forces had been bombed, and nearly 400 aircraft had been lost again, and for a time the Anglo-French air force was almost completely annihilated.

The air force was devastated, and the whole Entente was shocked.

Soon the Allies attributed the defeat of the air force to the German 'Eagle 3', which was apparently developed by the East China Autonomous Government.

Britain and France immediately approached the East China Autonomous Government and inquired about the specific situation, with a faint implication of reproach.

After receiving the note, the East China Autonomous Political Axe explained: "The Eagle 3 was developed by the East China Aircraft Manufacturing Company's branch in Germany, and it is a personal act of the East China Aircraft Manufacturing Company. ”

Falsehoods, empty words, big words, clichés! These are the four unique skills of Chinese officialdom.

The answer given by the East China Autonomous Political Axe made the Entente countries dumbfounded, and they just skimmed it out?

Zhu Erdian urgently asked to see Xia Jun that day, and the two sides talked for about half an hour in the East China Autonomous Political Axe Administration Building, and exchanged views on the issue of Eagle 3.

Xia Jun made it clear that the Eagle 3 is a technology that has not been mastered by the East China Autonomous Government, and it belongs to the German aircraft factory of the branch company, so it cannot sell the same fighter to the Entente countries for the time being. However, the East China Autonomous Axe has anti-aircraft artillery technology, which can be sold to the Entente first.

Zhu Erdian couldn't help but express his hope that the East China Autonomous Political Axe would get the forward firing technology of the Eagle 3 as soon as possible, and the Entente was willing to buy it at a high price.

At this time, the Entente could only suffer a dumb loss, but they could not impose any sanctions on the East China Autonomous Political Axe, because once they showed too strongly, it would not be good for them to force the Eastern China Autonomous Political Axe to the Allies.

Moreover, orders had to be continued, especially after the bombers were blown up by Germany, and the Entente had to order a large number of bombers.

However, the bomber aspect has always been monopolized by the East China Autonomous Political Axe, and no company has been able to produce as good a bomber as the East China Aircraft Factory.

The United States has developed an aircraft similar to the Hammer 1 bomber, but the East China Autonomous Government has begun to sell the Hammer 2, which has left the American aircraft manufacturing companies without a market.

One of the huge problems faced by the American aircraft manufacturing companies is the problem of engines, and their engines are completely inferior to those produced in China, so that even if they use the bomber design of the East China Aircraft Factory, they cannot build the same bomber.

Moreover, the United States has not mastered the plywood technology of the East China Autonomous Political Axe, which is used in aircraft manufacturing, which will make the cost of aircraft very low.

The kind of bomber made by the United States with a surname similar to the Heavy Hammer 1 is much larger than the Heavy Hammer 1 in terms of size, because the engine is larger and heavier, and the cost is more than a little higher, which is simply a world of difference.

In the world, no country's aircraft can compete with the East China Aircraft Factory, and eighty percent of the planes that the Allied countries put into the battlefield are purchased from China.

This is an absolute advantage, because of such an advantage, aircraft factories are very profitable.

At the same time, China also undertook the task of training pilots for the Allied and Allied powers, and seventy percent of the pilots of the two camps went out from the East China Flying School.

After the start of the war, the East China Autonomous Government sent personnel to Germany to help Germany train pilots. At the same time, Germany also sent personnel to the East China Autonomous Government to study in flight schools and to travel back and forth with submarines.

It was only for Germany that the training of pilots was relatively hidden, and the German pilots who came to China for training set up a separate flight school, which was located in Jiangxi.

The Entente countries have lost most of their aircraft at the moment, and they cannot do so without ordering from the East China Aircraft Factory, because other countries simply cannot produce decent aircraft.

After Xia Jun learned that the Allied planes were blown up by German bombers, he was so happy that he couldn't imagine that the role of fighters was so strong.

In terms of satisfying the aircraft orders of the Entente countries, the East China Aircraft Factory was a little busy after receiving the Dabi order.

Although the East China Aircraft Manufacturing Company can produce nearly 30 aircraft for export every day, which is 900 aircraft a month, it was indeed almost enough in the past, but now it is obviously not enough.

At least 50 aircraft should be built in a day, so as to better occupy the market. It's going to be December soon, and Xia Jun will have points in his hands again.

At this time, the first batch of technicians and engineers shipped from Germany also arrived in Hangzhou. In order to show enough attention, Xia Jun decided to greet him in person.

Among these Germans were many engineers, and even some scientists.

On the dock, Xia Jun was still wearing a windbreaker, under the protection of SS guards, waiting for the arrival of the passenger ship.

Just ten minutes later, the passenger ship came.

There were nearly 3,000 Germans who came to China this time, and although the transport submarines were relatively large, they were really uncomfortable crowded among the 20 transport submarines, after all, these submarines were not specially used to transport people.

The Germans were liberated after boarding the passenger ship, which was not only comfortable, but also had many rides.

By the time they arrived at the port of Hangzhou, there had already been a number of welcoming crowds on the port.

Some sharp-eyed Germans found that the young man standing on the harbor was the supreme head of the East China Autonomous Axe, and his appearance was exactly the same as the photo in the newspaper, and with so many soldiers standing beside him, his identity was naturally clear at a glance.

When the Germans stepped off the ship, Xia Jun shook hands with them one by one, and then arranged for them to rest in the hotel, and then Xia Jun met with Fix, the designer of the German [***] ship.

Xia Jun mainly wanted him to design a super useless ship for the East China Navy, with a tonnage of 3,500 tons, a gun caliber of 380mm, a speed of 25 knots, and a good protection capability.

Fix listened to Xia Jun's request, opened his mouth wide, and said, "Maybe the technology can't meet the requirements, and this kind of battleship is estimated to be impossible to build." ”

"There is no need to worry about the technology, we have advanced power technology, and we can also manufacture naval guns." Xia Jun said to Fix firmly: "What you have to do is to design this kind of useless ship. ”

"Alright! We can try. Fix said that Germany does not have super-dreadnought-class battleships, and Germany's current battleships are still Nata-class and Helgoland-class, and their displacement has not reached 30,000 tons.

The Navy is very crazy, and now it has built a 29,000-ton super dreadnought battleship, although the technology is not too mature, but this is built by the company.

The East China Navy also needed to build its own super-dreadnought battleships, so German engineers were invited to design them. I have to say that the number of senior talents in East China's autonomous political axe is not as good as the capital, and the independent design is naturally not as good as the capital.

But it doesn't matter, you can catch up slowly, as long as the education develops.

In addition, the super dreadnought battleship created by the East China Army is naturally more fierce than the Fusang. The speed of the battleship Fusang was 21 knots and the caliber of the main gun was 360mm, while Xia Jun built the highest speed of 25 knots and the caliber of the main gun was 380mm.
