Chapter Fifty-Eight: Direct Commando Division
[Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, all kinds of requests, your support is the driving force of my writing, German fans come on = Gao Fu Shuai come on]
Zhang Jun can't control the procurement of the Navy, as long as their budget is enough, Zhang Jun doesn't mind their procurement, the Navy wants to use the FI282 as an anti-submarine aircraft to observe the Allied submarines around the fleet, but also as a transport helicopter to provide vertical supply for the ship. This kind of tactical thinking is very correct, the destroyers of later generations are equipped with helicopters, but Zhang Jun does not understand naval warfare, but he can understand the naval helicopters of later generations, and give the navy some reasonable suggestions, but the current FI282 load is only a pitiful 700 kilograms, in addition to being used to observe and can carry a 500-pound anti-submarine torpedo at the same time, other roles are too limited, so the performance of FI282 can not fully meet the needs of the navy.
Another helicopter caused FA223, which is also Fokker. Produced by Wolff, Fokker. Wolf himself was one of the company's main designers, and these two aircraft were their products. That's going to be easy, Zhang Jun plans to make Fokker . Wolf abandoned the above two products and re-developed a new "Black Hawk Helicopter" based on the shape and related parameters of the "Black Hawk Helicopter" provided by himself.
First of all, Zhang Jun himself roughly estimated, Fokker. Does Wolf have the technical strength to develop the "Black Hawk Helicopter" in the future? Wolf can directly copy the appearance drawings drawn by Zhang Junshuo, which eliminates the steps of blowing tunnels and experimental aerodynamic shapes, which saves a lot of money and time for the research and development of helicopters.
The second is the problem of aero engines, whether German engine manufacturers can provide enough power engines, and the later "Black Hawk helicopters" are equipped with two 1560 horsepower engines. Can Germany now provide the power of such a large engine? Of course, the largest aero engine in Germany has reached 3000 horsepower, and there is a starting bmwww.xstxt.orgwww.xstxt.orgm Diameter: 1287mmWeight: 1053kgCylinder volume: 41.8 litersPower: 1600-2100HP (the most produced c/d/m are 1700 horsepower) Speed: 2400-2800rpm.
The power provided by the two BMW801 is 15 percent greater than the power of the later "Black Hawk helicopter", the load of the later "Black Hawk" is close to 4 tons, the range is 600 kilometers, and the speed is more than 220.
In addition, Zhang Jun's idea is to use the "Black Hawk" as a general-purpose helicopter, and when it is a combat helicopter, it will be equipped with external armor, and the external armor will be removed when it is used for transportation, so that the general problem of the helicopter can be well solved.
Of course, Zhang Jun wants to equip such a good thing, and of course he wants to equip it, but his current SS First Panzer Corps already has three armored divisions and one aviation division, and in order to deal with this epoch-making helicopter, Zhang Jun began to fight the Führer's doctrine again, and is ready to report that the role of helicopters will be in a dazzle, and he will first set up a "direct flight combat division" to the great Führer, which will be the first unit in the world to rely on helicopter assault, and of course it is also an experimental unit.
After careful consideration, Zhang Jun decided to develop into a heavy division, and the other equipment and SS armored divisions remained unchanged, and a new direct-flight regiment was set up at the division headquarters, equipped with 164 helicopters, accompanied by tank assaults, so that the three-dimensional attack was more perfect.
The report on the preparation of the application for the addition of a "direct flight combat division" was sent out, and the next step was to find Fock. Wolff, the father of German helicopters, had a good discussion and told Fokker everything he knew about the "Black Hawk helicopter" without reservation. Wolff, of course, the electronic system is impossible to compare with later generations, but other mechanical properties will not be much worse than those of later generations of "Black Hawks".
The next day Falk. Wolf received a summoning order from Zhang Jun, and Fokker was struggling with research funds. Wolf immediately saw hope, because the new head of the German armament department was very fond of new equipment, and as long as it was practical, he would definitely spend a lot of money to support his own research. Wolf is almost pants, has studied countless helicopter models, and now there are only two that can be shot, from 1927 to the present, a full 11 years, basically spent Fokker . All the money of the Wolf family, if these two helicopters are not procured by the military, then Fock. Wolf's bankruptcy is just around the corner.
Being in Fokker. When Wolf was desperate, the Navy's procurement contract came, and although only four were ordered, it was also a good start! Someone finally recognized his product, and Fokker was relieved from despair. Wolf, the god of luck has once again befallen him, the head of the German armament department summoned him, then there is definitely a big contract to negotiate! Almost didn't put Fawker. Wolf fainted happily and hurriedly drove to the German armament department.
Fogg. As soon as Wolf arrived at the German Ministry of Armament, he was invited to a separate office by Zhang Jun's beautiful secretary:
"Faulk. Mr. Wolff, it is a pleasure to meet you, because I myself am very interested in your helicopter, and would like to give you a very large contract, worth about seven million marks, not knowing about Fokker. Mr. Wolf is not interested. ”
"Ahh ……”
Fogg. Wolf was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, but you must know that now one of Germany's most advanced fighters, the BF109, is only 42,000 marks, and these 7 million marks can almost purchase nearly 200 BF109s. Fakker in a daze for a moment. Wolf hurriedly said:
"Oh my God! General, you are really a lifesaver for our company, our company has been engaged in helicopter research for 11 years, for which I spent all the family's money, but our company's strong research and development capabilities are absolutely the top in the world, and we can meet any ordering requirements of the general. ”
"Hehe, Fokker. Mr. Wolf, of course I know a little about the strength of your company, it is I who have discovered your company's strong R&D capabilities and innovation capabilities, so I gave you such a large contract, if you can research a new helicopter according to my requirements, which future orders will be sky-high. ”
"Thank you so much, General, and please tell me what you want! Please think about it, we will definitely work out a brand new helicopter according to your requirements, please really believe me Fokker. Wolf. ”
"Alright, Faulk. Mr. Wolff, please come over here and see what I ask. ”
"Black Hawk helicopter" outline diagram Zhang Jun has been drawn, a variety of performance parameters and dimensions are also marked clearly next to the side, for the use of aero engine Zhang Jun is a separate annotation of instructions, requiring the use of two 1700 horsepower BMW801, so that it is possible to achieve some of the performance of the later "Black Hawk", of course, electronic technology, or something don't think about it, now it is simply not up to that level, as long as the later generations of "Black Hawk" helicopter 80% of the mechanical performance, for the development of helicopters, It is an epoch-making progress, Zhang Jun believes that Germany's aviation strength, in saying that the shape is there, the aero engine is there, the biggest problem of the helicopter has been solved, there is no reason why it cannot be successful.
When seeing Falk. Wolf Zhang Jun's painting of the "Black Hawk" helicopter involuntarily sighed:
"General, I can't believe that you are still a genius in helicopter design, oh my God! It's just perfect, such a fluid design, perfect aerodynamic layout, it's a masterpiece of God. ”
Fogg. After Wolf sighed at the "Black Hawk" helicopter designed by Zhang Jun, he continued to watch:
"Oh, my general, to use such a large aero engine, it is stronger than the power of the BF109, such a large power, it is completely capable of carrying 4 tons of weapons and ammunition, good, good, too powerful, general, I dare to say that your design will be the most perfect design in the world, our company can complete the research in three months according to the drawings and parameters provided by the general, and produce two prototypes in the fourth month, I don't know what you think, general."
"Faulk. Mr. Wolff, I have no opinion at all, I have great confidence in your ability, and I will arrange the progress according to your own words, and in view of the actual situation of your company, I will now provide you with an advance of one million marks, you see. ”
"Thank you so much, my general, in order to be able to take your order, I have planned to go home and sell my ancestral property in order to raise funds for this research and development mission, now I don't need to, thank you my general, you are as kind as God, Fokker. Wolf will always remember your kindness. ”
"In addition, you have to design external armor for this helicopter, when it is used as a gunship, we will add armor, and when it is used as a transport aircraft, we will remove the armor."
……
Waiting for Zhang Jun to send away, the gratitude is like a surging of the Yangtze River. Wolf, then, returned to his office and began to take stock of some of the weapons that he was already researching and would soon be loading his troops.
First, the tank Zhang Jun's favorite, but also the most important weapon, the cottage 99 main battle tank, now Krupp has been producing at full speed, in order to increase the production capacity of the cottage 99, Krupp specially converted a No. 3 and No. 4 tank lines into a cottage 99 tank production line, the annual output of each tank production line is about 300 units, Zhang Jun estimates that in September or October this year, the tanks he needs, his cheap father-in-law will all produce them, Just in time for a little military action in October 1938, Zhang Jun could also test his troops.
Second, the radar has also begun to be produced, and began to be installed on a small scale, the miniaturized radar is still being studied, and the radar used now needs five trucks to transport after being removed, and the mobility is indeed too poor, it is better than nothing, Zhang Jun ordered five radars for his armored army, and his armored army does not want to let the enemy's aircraft sneak attack, so as to be blown up on the ground, then it is too tragic, and the most feared threat of the armored army is from the air.
