Chapter 173: Science and Technology Create Strength (7)

Without joking, compared with army equipment, Li Qi really attaches great importance to air force equipment, and he is not discriminating against it, let alone because he is from the air force, and the implementation situation is that there is not enough air force that can firmly occupy the air supremacy advantage, and no matter how strong the ground forces are, they will be bombed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At least what was the biggest tank wrecked in World War II? Not artillery, or destroyers, tanks themselves, but precision bombardment from the sky!

Yes, that's right, the tank's biggest adversary is not from the same tanks or any other ground weapon, but from aircraft with precision dive bombing capabilities.

Which country found it easiest to destroy a seemingly formidable tank with an attack from the air? When they invaded the Soviet Union, the number of tanks No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 was still the majority, and even the number of tanks No. 4 was seriously insufficient, and the Soviet Union already had a T34 at that time.

The ground forces of the German three could hardly compete with the Soviet armored forces, but they had air supremacy and were able to allow the slow-flying Stuka to carry out pleasant precision bombing.

Later, the Allies spied on this secret from the battlefield of Soviet Russia, which led to the fact that the Allies did not pay attention to the development of any sharp tanks in the back, as long as they grasped the main control and called for air support in minutes, they could defeat or bomb the armored forces of the German three and dare not take the lead.

Since Li Qi already knows the inevitability of history, he really can't ignore the importance of the Air Force. Of course, this is not to say that he does not develop ground armored forces, after all, it is still the ground forces that can really decide the outcome of a war, and when the air force is strong, it is also serving the ground forces.

Constrained by the oil supply, Li Qi would never be able to develop armored forces on a large scale even if he wanted to, and he had to pinch his nose and continue to support the livestock industry in the same way as the Second Empire, such as investing in the farmers who raised war horses.

Yes, Richie's idea is to develop some necessary armored forces, but the scale will not be too large, and it is even less logistical to prepare too many cars, except for the use of a developed railway system, the battlefield will invest a large number of mules and horses in the supply of baggage.

Fortunately, by the time the war broke out, the German railway connection would have been completed, which was part of the revitalization of the economy and the best solution to the employment problem, which was to build roads.

Spending four or five years focusing on road construction and building a large-scale road construction army is actually a mustache strategy, which can not only solve employment difficulties, but also rely on this way to secretly train soldiers. The slightly different thing that Li Qi wants is that he is engaged in the construction of the Corps, which is directly made public as a semi-military organization, which is also different from the situation of the mustache.

In terms of armored weapons, Li Qi probably won't waste too many resources to produce No. 1 and No. 2 on a large scale.

From 1926 onwards, the No. 1 tank will be put on the horse, and the actual research will be carried out, and if the results go well, the prototype should be released at the end of the year, and after the necessary experience has been accumulated, the No. 2 tank should be put on the horse.

In fact, Li Qi is not so willing to go down the original road, whether it is for the air force or the army, and in the development of some key weapons, he is already an iron-hearted layman and an insider.

I know what road is not going to work, and I will drill down with the tip of the horns when I see it? Richie really didn't want to kill himself with a gun in the bunker one day.

Knowing what is advantageous for the development of the historical trend, even if there is no professional knowledge, no logical thinking, no room for imagination, can you say no, do you have authority? Li Qi seems to have everything, he doesn't need to specialize in research, what he needs is to describe what he needs to professional people, and what to do is the business of relevant scientific researchers.

"Liquid-cooled? Air-cooled? "Hugo. Junkers frowned deeply and said, "What are your considerations?" ”

Richie knows Hugo. Junkers, a man who is averse to war, did not say that he wanted to accumulate technology for future combat readiness, saying: "We all know that different engines do not have the same speed in certain airspace, and not even any one engine can adapt to all airspace. ”

Hu Ge. Junkers nodded seriously: "Indeed, even if it is the same shape and the engine is different, the performance at the same height will not be the same." That is the difference between the internal structure of the fuel engine and even the fuel delivery system. ”

Li Qi knows that there is almost no air-cooled engine at ultra-high altitude that can maintain normal operation, because the higher the altitude, whether it is air, air pressure, or even the degree of coldness, it is different, so liquid cooling is the applicability of high-altitude.

"We now have planes with a very long range, but it's too slow and it's not good in terms of gravity." Hu Ge. Junkers made a thoughtful expression and said: "It's still a four-engine type of aircraft, because it's limited by the performance of the engine. ”

Junkers Aircraft Production Company has its own special research team, but to be honest, it does not seem to be very professional, they specialize in the architecture of the aircraft, what kind of shape and structure, and only about the engine can only be said to be very rare. Under this premise, although Junkers can develop its own engine, it is really at a medium level in terms of performance, which is absolutely incomparable with some of the top international companies.

So, don't look at the Junkers in the world's civilian market share is good, that's just because it is at the forefront of the world, but in terms of technology, it is only ahead in aircraft construction, and it is almost completely backward in other aspects.

There are not many aircraft production companies in Germany today, except for Junkers, which is also known as Heinkel, of which Heinkel Aircraft Production Company is a company that was only founded in 1922.

The emergence of the Heinkel Aircraft Production Company must have the shadow of Richie, not only Henkel himself, but also Richel's Wynhull. Feng. Braun pulled it all in.

In the development of jet aircraft in Germany, the Heinkel Aircraft Manufacturing Company first had such a concept, but it is a pity that it has not received due attention for various reasons.

Richie didn't know why jets weren't taken seriously, but he could probably guess that it was because of the immaturity of the technology, but Henkel had been researching jets since 1935.

A new thing is often a lack of "ideas", no matter how Li Qi is a traverser, not to mention whether he is professional in what knowledge, but he at least knows what the layout looks like, and what the approximate model looks like! He has been hoping to have a good chat with Heinkel lately, without going too deep into the questions, and testing his knowledge to see if there are any relevant ideas.

"We are in talks with several companies in the US and UK and may buy some of their engine patents." Hu Ge. Junkers was not embarrassed at all when he said this, saying: "If Falk had not been sanctioned, maybe it would have been a better choice to go to Falk." ”

Fokker Aircraft Manufacturing is now the property of the Dutch, but Anthony . Fokker himself was in very big trouble, which led to some scientific stagnation.

At present, the United States and the United Kingdom are the fastest growing in the aircraft industry chain, one is the world's largest industrial power, and the other is the world hegemon.

The rapid development of the aircraft industry chain in the United States is far beyond imagination, but ...... To be honest, their strides in cutting-edge research are not very good, nothing too high-end, but the output is really amazing.

Britain is still at the peak of world hegemony in terms of scientific research strength, and in the current aircraft development industry, the aircraft developed by the British has the fastest flight speed, followed by a more surprising country, from Italy.

I have to tell the truth, Italy is not a big country in Europe, and it can even be said that Italy is really not very good in industrial development, but Italy's development in the aviation industry is very eye-catching.

In the last time the plane racing competition, the third place was Sweden. The Swedish company in the competition, Sides Aircraft Research and Manufacturing, lost narrowly to Italy.

The Chief Research Officer of Sides Aircraft Research and Manufacturing is named Willy. Messerschmidt, who was a Germanic of Swedish origin.

Well, that's clearly one of Richie's "backdoor" companies in Sweden, Willy. Messerschmitt is also the one who "Willy. Messerschmidt".

Willie. Messerschmidt's service to Richie began in 1919, and after the first cooperation, he was hired by Richie, and given the chaos and economic difficulties in Germany after the war, he could not refuse some of the conditions offered by Richie, and ended up on a thief ship.

There are actually many German aircraft companies now, but there are not many aircraft companies that are famous and can continue to operate, for example, Bavaria (Kingdom) used to have its own aircraft manufacturing company, but it was later acquired by the Austrians. Now the name of the Bavarian aircraft manufacturing company has not changed, and even the building has not been moved, but ...... Both production and development are at a standstill, and it is not the Austrian financier Camillo, who invested in the Bavarian aircraft manufacturing company. Castillo Leoni has no money, but this company is completely backward, and the things developed really can't catch up with the trend, so they can only hold on half-dead.

Li Qi's funds are very limited now, but there are too many things he wants to do, and he needs a Kaizi......

Kaizi will be sent to the door soon, the Rothschilds are the Rothschilds, and the person who ran to Berlin in person is still Nathan. Rothschild, because this cooperation is actually a continuation of the last one.

"Yes, the White Guards know their own situation, and they have realized that those countries are not really going to help them, and they need to seek out forces that can really help." Nathan. Rothschild looked reserved: "Actually, we are, but His Excellency the leader also understands that no matter how powerful the family is, it can't be compared with the power of the country, so I came." ”

Alexander. Vasilyevich. Kolchak is now president, he is the president of the Democratic Federation of Russia. It's democracy and it's federation, it sounds really weird, but it's really like that. They wanted to call the Far Eastern Republics, but someone did it before them. (This point can't be written, it will be blocked)

It doesn't matter what the name of the country is, Alexander. Vasilyevich. The most urgent thing for Kolchak at present is to take advantage of the weakest and most difficult to break the balance in Soviet Russia, and it is also the best time, to start the construction of its own industrial infrastructure belonging to the Russian Democratic Federation.

Siberia is very large, and there must be a lot of resources, otherwise how will the "Russian gas and oil companies" in the future eat their old capital? Building an industry on such a piece of land is a big cake!

"Leaders should know that our previous understanding may be wrong, the White Guards are not poor, at least we have made a huge mistake in the possession of precious metals." Nathan. Rothschild had a smile on his face: "We got 120 tons of gold, yes, hard currency gold, and that Mr. President, he will take out this gold at the first stage, and intends to purchase a batch of production lines from Japan, including munitions, but mostly light industrial machinery." ”

"Japan?" Li Qi was obviously stunned for a moment, and then used a sudden tone: "Yes, at the beginning, Alexander. Vasilyevich. Kolchak was going to buy arms from Japan. ”

It is not a secret, it can even be said that such a thing was finalized while Nicholas II was alive, but unfortunately it was not carried out in time, and the Tsarist Empire collapsed.

"Sir, do I understand that the Tsar gave Alexander . Vasilyevich. Kolchak's gold is not actually missing? "Richie takes this very seriously.

Nathan. Rothschild shook his head: "How can we possibly know this?" His expression gradually turned serious: "I believe the leader knows a little, in the last century, there was a war between Japan and the Qing Kingdom, what did our family do in that war?" ”

Of course Litchie knew, he just nodded and waited for the following.

"Japan is able to have enough military spending, and it is my family who operates for them. Everyone thought that our family had been richly rewarded in that war, but in fact it was an illusion and we did not get the rewards we deserved. It should be said that the return obtained is only a small part of the expected return. "Nathan. Rothschild said something in a fog, as if there was some taboo in the topic, and after a little mention, he paused for a moment and continued: "Because of a series of reasons later, my family's relationship with Japan has changed from intimate to hostile, so ...... We are going to transfer the business that originally belonged to Japan to several countries, I wonder if Your Excellency the Leader is interested? ”

The Rothschilds' investment in Japan's war was not pure, they wanted to make profits, but profits were only one aspect, they wanted to control the Japanese economy, but they were later resisted by the Japanese state. Li Qi probably knows something, but there is no definite number for whether it is reliable or not.

For a foot in 120 tons of gold, Li Qi was very interested, but ...... Things don't seem to be that simple? (To be continued.) )
