The third update is complete!

"All of you here were once members of the German elite who were loyal to their country but were brutally abandoned after the defeat of the war. The weapons you have designed are terrifying, and your exploits should have been immortalized, yet all have forgotten you, including the departed Empire. And now, there is an opportunity for you to regain your ideals, and I would like to ask you here if you would like to seize this opportunity. ”

Albert's demagogic words reminded everyone of the frenzied development of armaments and weapons, and Germany's foreign expansion forged the most glorious military-industrial empire at that time. And now? They could not produce airplanes, they could not make ships, the country was divided in half, and everything could only be done in the face of the United States and the Soviet Union.

Perhaps infected by the excitement, Alfred Krupp nodded first and said, "I do." Messerschmitt then agreed with Albert. Now that he was on the Belgian pirate ship, Ferdinand Porsche had to agree with Albert. Jack Sabrino doesn't care, when he signed the agreement with Albert, he said that BMW is only responsible for aero engines and tank engines, and it will never touch it like artillery or something, which is BMW's bottom line. If little Belgium really can't think of embarking on the road of militarism, it will have to think of a way out and retreat with all its might.

"Very well, then please take a look at this." Albert distributed the blueprints to everyone present.

"This is a turbojet engine model J79-GE-17A, BMW and Porsche are responsible for getting this thing out, the blueprints are ready for you, and the take-off afterburner thrust of the engine must reach 7924N, the intermediate thrust must reach 5250N, the cruising thrust must reach 1159N, the fuel consumption rate must be controlled at 2.00kg/N・h, and the cruise fuel consumption rate must be controlled at 0.97kg/N・h, which is my request. As for the other data listed in the design drawings, are there any other questions? ”

In the case of the engine of the F4 Phantom fighter, Albert had to strictly follow the engine data of General Dynamics, and never change any number. The change in data means a change in the engine as a whole, and it is unknown whether it will get better or worse, and at present, it is not possible to give the F4 ghost any structure.

"It seems a bit difficult, but since His Highness Albert has the blueprint of this engine, there should also be a physical drawing, right? If we provide a comparison of the actual picture, maybe we can better imitate and improve it. After taking a cursory look at the designs, Ferdinand Porsche asked to see the real thing.

Albert shrugged and refused Ferdinand Porsche's request, "Unfortunately, Mr. Porsche, I don't have a physical drawing of this engine." In fact, the design drawings of these engines are also possible through some special means, but we have the engine technology and equipment imported from Lockheed in the United States, and I think this will be a little helpful for your research. ”

Ferdinand Porsche pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, but the plant will not be relocated until the end of this month at the latest, so the engine development will not start until the end of the month." ”

"The F4 Phantom fighter, well, this design looks like a novelty." Messerschmidt looked at the design drawings of the Albert Phantom fighter and nodded frequently, in terms of styling alone, the F4 Phantom fighter as a third-generation aircraft is different from the F80, F84 Thunderbolt and F86 Sabre fighter, the most notable feature is that the F4 Phantom has two jet engines, while the previous aircraft only had one jet engine.

"What does Mr. Messerschmidt think?" Albert asked. Among these people, Messerschmitt was the only one who was in charge of the development of the aircraft, so Messerschmidt's request was particularly important.

"As long as the technical content of the engine developed by BMW and Porsche is not lacking, there should be no problem in developing this fighter, I heard that Belgium lacks a large wind tunnel laboratory? For example, the data in the design drawing of the C130 Hercules transport aircraft in the hands of His Royal Highness Albert shows that the C130 transport aircraft is 30 meters long and has a wingspan of 40 meters. Messerschmitt pointed out Albert's shortcomings.

Messerschmidt had already thought about this issue Albert, and a year ago he began preparing for the construction of a large wind tunnel laboratory in Belgium, which is now almost complete. This is a laboratory specially prepared for a behemoth like the C130 Hercules. With that huge construction fund alone, he applied to the royal family several times before it was approved.

"With large forging presses and hydraulic presses, plus aviation technology from the Americans, I can turn this guy from a drawing to a reality in a year or two at most." Messerschmitt gave Albert a ticket, anyway, Messerschmidt's technical reserves are no less abundant than Lockheed's, and it is only about three or four years before the development of the F4 Phantom fighter to mass production. The C130 Hercules transport aircraft was shorter and took only two years.

"Allison T56-A-15 turboprop engines, one to reach 4590 horsepower, interesting and interesting." Jack Shabonu looked at the engine data of the C130 transport plane, and said with a smile, "If you can get this thing out, the engine of the BMW car is not a problem at all, as long as the engine has enough power, even if it is a car, we can send it to the sky." ”

Alfred Krupp looked at the task assigned to him by Albert with a little embarrassment, and said, "Your Highness wants to develop a self-propelled gun called M109A6 and a towed gun called M777?" And self-propelled guns also have to meet the requirements of high power and light weight? I don't quite understand what kind of steel the titanium alloy mentioned above is? ”

Titanium became popular in the mid-fifties of the twentieth century, and weapons made of titanium alloy were lighter and harder, making them more agile and maneuverable than traditional steel guns. In the future, the mobility and power of the artillery will be as important, so the M109A6 self-propelled artillery will be within the scope of Albert's development as the main weapon of the US military. The M777 towed gun was designed to enhance the firepower of mountain divisions deployed in the Ardennes. After all, Belgium's defense is still mainly defensive, not offensive.

"Titanium alloy is a new type of alloy with the characteristics of high hardness and light weight, which is very suitable for use as weapons. As for the supply of this metal, you don't have to worry, I'll solve it. Albert signaled that Alfred Krupp could put a hundred hearts at heart, and the achievements of the Belgian Solvay Group in the chemical industry are among the best in Europe, and the manufacture of titanium alloys is naturally completed by them.

"The development of the engine for the self-propelled gun was also entrusted to BMW and Porsche, and it had to be a liquid-cooled turbocharged, two-stroke, eight-cylinder diesel engine. The development of the 155mm gun will be handed over to Krupp, and I believe that your research and development capabilities will be able to complete this task well. ”

"Any other questions?" Albert asked.

"Yes." Messerschmidt said honestly, "Is there enough money?" ”

Albert was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Mr. Messerschmidt, are you questioning the financial resources of me, the crown prince?" Or question the financial strength of the Belgian royal family? ”

"Not really." Messerschmidt muttered quietly, "Don't be like Germany at the beginning, when the promised Ministry of Defense funding ended up with not even a penny." ”

"All of you here do a good job, as long as you can concentrate on developing the weapons on the design drawings in my hands, there will be no shortage of funds." Albert's promise is equivalent to giving everyone a peace of mind that they will have no worries and complete peace of mind.
