Chapter 111: Dreamy? Magic?
Chapter 110
Goering was confident in this contest, not because of the technical skills of air combat, but because of the performance of the fighters. And in the field of engines, which determine the performance of fighters, Goering is very conceited that the Germans are at least ten years ahead of the Chinese. "Huh, aero engines? Can China make it itself? Goering, secretly smug in his heart, thought. Not to mention, carrier-based aircraft are air-cooled engines, which have natural disadvantages compared to water-cooled engines.
Four "Swift" YH-1000 carrier-based aircraft flew in formation in the air, patiently waiting for the arrival of German fighters.
Regarding China's aircraft technology, Goering has always believed that the advisers of the army who went to China are exaggerating, how can China solve the problem of domestic engines? With the virtue of the Americans, it is impossible to provide engine-related precision machining and metallurgical technology. Engines are a cutting-edge field of technology, and you can't just design them and build them. Precision machining is not just organic equipment, and the senior technicians required for the installation of precision equipment cannot be cultivated casually. The materials of the engine require corresponding metallurgical technology, which will never be taken out by any country.
When he saw the figure of the German plane in the distance, Goering proudly straightened his chest, glanced at Feng Hua, and said in his heart: You yellow-skinned monkey, you will soon know the power of the Luftwaffe. German intelligence is not a vegetarian, and the Germans have long known about the US government's refusal to transfer certain technologies to China. Besides, this kind of intelligence is not difficult to obtain, and the Germans are not unaware of the fact that the Chinese have been fishing for technical talents all over the world since the beginning of the Republic of China. Thinking of this, Goering secretly hated the capitalists who ran to China after the First World War. Göring was reluctant to admit that the large-scale cooperation had brought many benefits to Germany, and that many of Germany's technologies had survived because of the cooperation in China. Of course, some of the technologies that the German capitalists did not transfer to the Chinese side. For example, which water-cooled 900-horsepower engine is being installed on the incoming fighter. Unbeknownst to Goering, in another time and space, the first BF109A aircraft used Rolls-Royce engines. At this time, Mercedes had the profits of China as financial support, and developed the MB600 ahead of schedule.
What are the fighters of this era better than? than climbing, than cornering flexibility, than diving. Goering is very confident in these aspects, so he is not worried at all.
As the chancellor of the Reich, Hitler did not go to Kiel to greet the Chinese, and the necessary reserve was still there. But he has been paying attention to the scene of a qiē. And I learned about such a competition at the first time. Hitler did not react much to this, and was even full of hope for this competition.
"Your Excellency, will this cause unnecessary contradictions?" Himmler, the head of the Gestapo, of course, would not let go of such an opportunity to dug such a small pit for Goering in an appropriate and subtle manner. So the report was very timely.
"Don't worry, let Goering teach the Chinese a lesson, those generals of the Wehrmacht do not rule out the suspicion of exaggerating China's military industrial capabilities." Even if Goering loses, we will not lose anything, on the contrary, it can help us recognize the strength of the Chinese. Hitler was very patient in expressing his thoughts, but despite this, Goering's action was not announced in advance. This made Hitler feel more or less unhappy.
"What? President Fang's second son? Damn it! When Himmler got a new piece of information, he hurriedly turned back and knocked on the door, and immediately reported to Hitler the news that had just arrived, and President Fang's son was involved in the competition.
"Huh? Is there such a thing? What an admirable head of state! I hope President Fang's son will not be frightened! "Hitler didn't make a fuss. On the contrary, I think it is a very appetizing thing. It seems that this Fang Jianxiong is the same person as himself, and he is a leader who can give up some for the sake of national interests.
The first battle in the air began, climbing from a height of about a thousand meters, and it was difficult to see the process clearly with the naked eye. However, the radio on the command car solved the problem, and the Chinese and German pilots constantly communicated with the guò radio. Debrief the process.
"022, report your situation!" Feng Hua could be said to be shouting angrily, and Tang Qianming on the side was eager to rush onto the battleship and kick Sa Shijun over. Whoever goes up is not good, let the second son go up. Didn't it be stipulated a long time ago that the second son was not allowed to go to heaven?
"022 received, it's in good condition, hahaha, the 1200 hp engine is just awesome, I dumped them. It's three thousand meters, five thousand meters, hahaha, I can't see the bf109 below. Fang Ping's slightly hoarse voice came over the radio, and Goering changed color after listening to the translation, and immediately grabbed the microphone of another radio station.
"I'm Goering, debriefing." After a rustle on the radio, a helpless voice came: "I am Hans, the Chinese's plane climbed too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it threw us off nearly a kilometer." Unfortunately, we tried our best. ”
The ensuing contest was difficult for all Germans to accept, and Hitler, who was waiting in the Chancellery, was even more unbelievable. Staring at Himmler, he asked loudly: "Didn't you say that China's carrier-based aircraft use some air-cooled engine?" What are the intelligence services doing? Are the Chinese' aircraft engines produced themselves or imported? Didn't Mercedes guarantee that the engine was the best? ”
Himmler did not dare to slack off in the face of the angry Hitler, and immediately replied cautiously: "My Führer, according to the intelligence department's understanding, the Chinese set up an aeronautical research institute in Wuhan as early as 1912 to design and develop their own aero engines. The scale of this research institute is very large, and it has been reported that there are more than 5,000 people. Moreover, the personnel of this research institute are very mixed, and the earliest ones were some political criminals during the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the White Russian period. During the Soviet Revolution, a large number of Belarusian technicians were hired to China at a high price, and it is said that they also went to this research institute. During the Sino-German cooperation, more than 100 precision machining and metallurgical technicians of the Second Reich also entered this research institute, and now the situation of these people belongs to the absolute secret of the Chinese side and cannot be found at all. After the economic crisis that began in 29 years, some European and American technicians were hired to China with high salaries. According to accurate information, about 300 Chinese students join the laboratory every year after returning to China. I'm sorry Führer, but that's all we have, and we've started gathering it in the last two years. Before that, we knew very little about the Chinese, and in addition, I think we should thank General Bob, who provided a diary with a lot of useful information. ”
"Wait a minute, didn't the Chinese aircraft carrier enter the port?" Hitler suddenly asked, and Himmler paused and said, "No, I have been cruising outside the port, according to the Chinese, to be real on different seas." The Atlantic Ocean is really not suitable for the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft on aircraft carriers. I think I understand why the Chinese sent aircraft carriers this time, the Führer is really wise! ”
"It seems that we have to talk to the Chinese about the operation of aircraft carriers." Hitler touched his chin and said to himself, Himmler rolled his eyes on the side, and said secretly: It seems that the evaluation of Chinese's ability is going to a new level, damn Mercedes, the big words are so full. As a result, the water-cooled engine turned out to be less powerful than the air-cooled engine of others.
Himmler's intelligence work was still fruitful, and the Wuhan Aero Engine Research Institute, now a comprehensive aeronautical research institute, is no longer just a simple aero engine research institute. In order to realize the dream of a large air force, Fang Jianxiong's investment in this research institute is beyond anyone's imagination. From the initial seven or eight guns for a dozen people, it has developed into a scale of more than 5,000 people now, covering any field of aircraft engine research and development.
The domestic carrier-based aircraft "Swift" YH-1000 in service uses the latest product of the research institute, the MY-1000 air-cooled engine. This type of engine was jointly developed by a research team of more than 300 people by some former Belarusian technicians and European and American technicians from the department, with a design maximum power of 1,000 horsepower. After five years of research and development, some new technologies were continuously added along the way, and finally it was qualitatively and put into production in 33 years. One of the most difficult material problems to solve was "helped" by a few technicians recruited from Britain at a high price by the Military Intelligence Agency. The problem of precision machining technology was "helped" by the Germans. Well, there are many factors for this "help", and there are many reluctant and shady means, so I won't talk about it here.
All in all, this aviation research institute is relatively cutting-edge in the international arena in the field of fighter engines. Of course, there are also shortcomings, such as the technical neck that the Americans have been pinching, that is, the technical problem of large engines, which China is not able to solve independently, which is also one of the problems that this research institute is solving. If the problem of large engines can be solved, China will get rid of the situation of relying on the Americans for large transport and bomber engines, but for now, this problem has not been completely solved. This also speaks volumes about the fact that traitors cannot solve the problem of cutting-edge technology, at least in the short term. This is also the reason why Fang Jianxiong expressed a positive attitude on the issue of Belarus and on the issue of Sino-German cooperation after World War I. Some technologies can't be bought with money! can only rely on themselves, rely on cheating, rely on stealing and robbing.
The competition finally ended with the "Swift" HY-1000 defeating the BF109A, whether it was the climbing speed, the flexibility of the turn, or the dive performance, the all-round suppression of the opponent's feeling, so that the Chinese felt very dreamy, and the Germans felt magical.
It seems that the Chinese must be re-examined, at least in the field of aviation, and this is the first time that the German side has formed a unified understanding!
