Chapter 537: A Jealous Talent Born at the Wrong Time

Lin Jun woke up after eight o'clock in the morning, and he slept comfortably. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Vukinskaya got up before her husband and came out of the bathroom after freshening up, as soon as she saw Lin Jun sitting up, she said, "The bath water is ready, Landscoch and they won't come until 40 minutes later." By the way, what should I have for breakfast? I asked the chef to prepare. ”

"Just get an egg and some bread."

I didn't take a bath, so I took a shower with hot water. When I arrived at the restaurant, I saw that breakfast was being served - since becoming deputy commander-in-chief, more and more people were in charge of his matinee life, and even his home in Moscow was staffed with a full-time chef: like in Zhukov, he specialized in Northeast Chinese cuisine.

A glass of hot milk with two fried eggs, and a can of Caspian caviar and Lin Jun's favorite white bread, a very hearty breakfast. However, Lin Jun never pays attention to what to eat for breakfast, as long as he is full and has enough calories, there is nothing to be picky about during the war, and the speed of eating is fast enough.

There were a few newspapers on the dining table, and when I opened today's Pravda, I flipped through them, and almost all of them were the same type of news, most of them were reports from the front. It is estimated that the content of several other newspapers is the same, and the "Pravda" for breakfast has been hastily read.

When I put down the newspaper and saw that my wife was still eating, I asked, "Don't you have to go to work today?" ”

"You're back, who in the hospital would dare to ask me to be on time? If you want to give me a holiday, I didn't agree. Hehe, go later, there is an operation in the afternoon, nothing else. Vuginskaya smiled: "When can I go back to Zhukov to see Lin Lin and Ivan." ”

"In two days, there's still a lot of work at hand. By the way, how did you arrange your new driver? ”

"I've arrived, and I'm living in the building opposite, with the cook. It was a sergeant major in his forties, named Alexander Ivanovich Matyuschenk. ”

Because Vuginskaya's rank already belongs to the category of senior commanders, the hospital has to arrange a special car for her according to the regulations, but this task was taken over by Paulkel without hesitation: arranging the driver of the chief's wife is not a trivial matter! It requires political reliability, a rigorous style and, of course, excellent driving skills.

"Oh."

At this time, Landscoch and Gusev also arrived, and Lin Jun changed into his uniform, but it was not yesterday's set. It was not comfortable to have that bunch of medals on his chest, so he pinned four "big and small gold stars" to this uniform: the only one in the whole army.

I changed into leather boots with non-slip soles, and instead of wearing my favorite marmot leather boots, I went out under the escort of staff officers and guards.

Moscow is a bit damp and cold, the ground is often frozen, and he is not sure where he will go today, so Lin Jun chose non-slip boots that are convenient for going anywhere.

Kremlin, Office of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief.

There are still a bunch of folders, and Pauker has already asked people to sort out according to their importance, just waiting for Lin Jun to take a look.

However, instead of reading the documents first, he spent 20 minutes drafting a report: What do you want the deputy commander to report? The report proposing to award the rank of Marshal Stalin was to be submitted to the Supreme High Command and the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet.

Since he himself said that idea yesterday, I am sure that Stalin already knows about it today, and this matter cannot be delayed.

I copied another copy and went to Kalinin's office, and then to Stalin with Voroshilov, who had already arrived in the Kremlin.

The three of them were nagging and strongly demanding, Stalin at first refused, and finally agreed to the suggestions and demands of his comrades. As for when Stalin will be awarded the rank of "Marshal of the Soviet Union", it will depend on when Stalin's uniform will be ready.

When I returned to the office, I picked up the folder: these are just submitted documents, and they have been managed by various departments, so Lin Jun should refer to them. However, if you have any opinions, you can directly order a revision or rejection.

One of them was that the Red Navy would add 5 naval infantry brigades (this is different from the general concept of marines, which consists of coastal troops drawn from the navy and shipboard personnel. This will not feed the entire Red Navy combat mission, and the manpower will be partially idle, and some combinations will be drawn to participate in land operations.

However, these latest 5 infantry brigades will probably be the last 5 infantry brigades of the Red Navy Commander Vladimir Mitrofanovich Orlov to support the Red Army in the Marine War, and it is unlikely that 40 naval infantry brigades will appear as Lin Jun remembers, and these 20 or so infantry brigades are already the limit at present - the Soviet Union has not lost too many naval bases, and the number of people transferred from the base shore service alone has lost a large margin.

The Red Navy infantrymen in black naval uniforms fought bravely and fearlessly, because they represented the Red Navy on land and fought side by side with the Red Army, often fearless in battle! Conspicuous black is not a good cover color, but it is like a soldier wearing them to intimidate opponents! And the naval infantry will always have a sea soul shirt that represents the navy.

They are navy, even if they go ashore to fight a land battle, they are still navy!

On the Baltic coast, two naval infantry brigades under Tukhachevsky's command have already made a name for themselves, and the two naval infantry brigades formed in October last year have already been called the "Black Death" by the Germans!

Seeing the third report, Lin Jun's attention was focused: This report was sent by the Aviation Committee, and the proposal for a liquid rocket-powered interceptor submitted by a designer seemed very promising.

Seeing this Italian-born aircraft designer named Baltini, Lin Jun really sighed that the genius had a lot of fate, and he could even be said to be a jealous talent!

Lin Jun knew this person.

What if an aircraft designer is talented, but designs something that is too advanced and advanced for others to understand?

He may not have appeared in this era, and Tian Jealous Ying is the only ending.

If you mention Sikorsky, an American aircraft designer of Russian descent, I am afraid that no fewer people will know. But when it comes to Baltini, a very Apennian surname, this Soviet aircraft designer with Italian national blood in his veins, most people will be very unfamiliar.

If Dan says the "Caspian Sea Monster", many people will think that it is famous, but how many people know who its designer is? That genius designer is Baltini!

Baltini, who devoted his life to chasing the dream of blue skies, was no less talented than any famous aircraft designer. Although he did not have much impressive performance, his unique design ideas and advanced design concepts have been verified over time.

Roberto Orozdi Baltini was born into a wealthy Italian family. In 1915, when the First World War was in full swing, Baltini had just graduated from the Italian military academy, and after a short training camp at the flight school, he was sent to fight in the Russian-German battlefield.

However, he soon became a prisoner of the Russian army, and was only released back to China after the end of World War I. After graduating from the Polytechnic School in Milan, Italy, Baltini became a mechanical engineer and continued his studies at the Rome Flying School. In the autumn of 1923, Baltini was recommended by the Italian Communist Party to go to the Soviet Union to participate in aviation construction and began his dream.

Baltini first worked at the Scientific Laboratory of the Soviet Air Force, but for a short time, due to health reasons, he was transferred to the city of Sevastopol, on the coast of the Black Sea, to work on seaplane tests.

Soon he submitted his LL-1 and LL-2 seaplane designs to the Soviet Air Force. Since the Air Force was only a department for the use of seaplanes, the design and manufacture of which were decided by the Navy, Baltini's design scheme was put on hold for the time being. However, the Air Force decided to transfer him to the OPO-3 seaplane design group on the outskirts of Moscow in order to make better use of his ingenuity.

Unfortunately, just in time for the Soviet government's drastic reform of aviation institutions, Baltini was soon transferred to the 39th Central Design Bureau, and then to the Soviet Civil Aviation Scientific Laboratory.

The main task of the USSR Research Institute of Civil Aviation was the design and production of civil aircraft, and at that time, the design group headed by Putilov was working on an aircraft made of stainless steel. At the same time, the Northern Scientific Laboratory of Civil Aviation of the Soviet Union developed the "Steel-2" and "Steel-3" aircraft using stainless steel, which became the brand-name products of the scientific laboratory.

In this environment, in 1930, Baldini began to develop the "Steel-6" fighter technology demonstrator: in the autumn of 1933, the "Steel-6" completed its first test flight, and its flight speed reached 420 km/h! The best fighters mass-produced at that time also flew at a speed of only 300 km/h!

In order to bring the aircraft to its maximum flight speed, Baltini was the first in Soviet aviation to adopt a retractable bicycle-type landing gear. In order to reduce take-off weight and head-on airflow drag, he ditched the traditional water radiator and adopted a vaporization cooling system: a system that allowed water to evaporate around the engine cylinders, and steam cooled and returned to the tank along a double-skinned duct at the leading edge of the wing.

Although the engine gasification cooling system has not been popularized, the birth of the "Steel-6" fighter technology verification machine has provided reference for aircraft designers.

In parallel with the development of the "Steel-6", Baldini began to develop a "giveaway" long-range water reconnaissance aircraft for Arctic exploration. The most important feature of this reconnaissance aircraft is that it can land both on water and on ice-covered land, and the bottom of the fuselage and the pontoons are also reinforced with stainless steel.

Baldini had proposed to install two Spain-Huies tandem engines (2 x 800 hp) for the "giveaway", driven by a coaxial propeller. After conducting wind tunnel tests on the "giveaway", it was shown that the adoption of this power unit not only increased the tensile force of the propeller, but also reduced the head-on drag coefficient and increased the lift coefficient. This was the first scientific achievement obtained by Baltini and was named the "Baldini Effect" by the aviation community.

However, due to technical processes and other reasons, the "Baltini effect" has not been popularized.

Subsequently, the "Steel-7" dual-use aircraft, designed by Baltini, took part in the tender conference held by the General Directorate of Civil Aviation of the USSR.

Like the original aircraft design proposal, the Steel-7 dual-use aircraft has some new distinctive features: in addition to retaining the traditional aerodynamic layout and stainless steel wings, the Steel-7 adopts an "inverted seagull" wing.

The "inverted Seagull" wing significantly reduces the height of the aircraft and the weight of the retractable landing gear struts, and it is integrated with the triangular plate monocoque fuselage, which also greatly reduces aerodynamic interference and increases the lift-to-drag ratio.

In the summer of 1939, Shebanov piloted the "Steel-7" to set a world flight record of 5,000 kilometers without refueling!

However, the Great Purge began, and Baltini, who had come from a foreign land and had been a prisoner of the Russian army in World War I, was imprisoned.

However, he was lucky and did not stay in prison for long, because of Lin Jun's interference with the "rebellion", he was released and returned to work, but he could only serve as one of Tupolev's deputies. And Baltini also made the most of his time, and he made a "R" supersonic fighter design in prison.

The "R" supersonic fighter adopts a flying wing aerodynamic layout, and the hybrid power plant based on a ramjet engine is planned to be integrated with the fuselage, and the aerodynamic characteristics are "very advanced", and he is the first design in his life to be advanced to the point that others "find it difficult to understand".

Now he has developed a design plan for developing a rocket-powered interceptor, named the R-114 fighter interceptor.

According to the report, the aircraft will be equipped with four liquid rocket engines, a swept wing with surface layer control, an infrared radar and retractable landing gear.

According to the designer's vision, the R-114 fighter interceptor has high maneuverability and can firmly control air supremacy in air combat.

As far as Lin Jun knew, it seems that this Baltini "also" designed two advanced and again "incomprehensible" aircraft in the early 50s: a supersonic bomber with a wing-body melter and a swept wing with a small aspect ratio, and a bomber with a flying wing layout and take-off weight much larger than the Tu-95 strategic bomber!

However, the birth of the former design scheme presented the leadership of the USSR Ministry of Aviation Industry in the early 50s with a small problem: who would bear the risk of developing the aircraft?

When Lin Jun piloted the Su-27 using the wing-body fusion process in his previous life, who would have thought that Bardini would put forward such a bold idea as early as the early 50s?

The latter design ended even worse: the designers decided that the A-57 long-range bomber was quite reasonable in terms of design and aerodynamic layout, and that Soviet aircraft factories were fully equipped with the level of craftsmanship to produce such aircraft. However, it was put into the cold palace by the competent authorities on the grounds that "the wing area is too large and it is very easy to be detected by enemy radars"!

However, many years later, when the American B-2 was put into service, the world discovered that the B-2 had the best stealth performance in the world despite its huge wings.

Born at the wrong time, God is jealous of talents!

But for the report in front of him: liquid rocket-powered interceptor, this Lin Jun can't even think of it! The acceleration and power of the liquid rocket engine are good, but it is better to use it as the power of missiles and rockets, even if there is no aircraft powered by liquid rockets for decades.

With a stroke of Lin Jun's pen, the design of the R-114 fighter interceptor was killed! However, he wrote another order: he ordered Baltini to report to Zhukov as soon as he finished his work!

The "ghost" is being tossed by a group of "hairy guys", and there is a shortage of "whimsical" and experienced designers to take charge.
