After the large-scale arms race between the Chinese Empire and the German Union began, in addition to the confrontation of nuclear forces, the most fierce confrontation between conventional forces was the struggle for air supremacy. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info ˋˊ

Since the First World War, the Air Force of the Chinese Empire has been in the leading position in the world for a long time, and the air forces of all countries in the world have been unable to confront it.

At the beginning of World War II, the Nazi Air Force was once considered to be able to challenge the first throne of the Imperial Chinese Air Force. The reason is that the Nazi Air Force became the second in the world to develop and successfully mass-produce jet fighters, and was once favored by the Allied countries to challenge the power of the Imperial Chinese Air Force.

But in the end, the Nazi Air Force's ME262 jet fighters were defeated by the J-11 Condor jet fighters of the Chinese Empire, which became one of the important reasons why the Nazi Air Force failed to win World War II. The defeat of the Me262 to the J-11 was due to two main factors: Germany's lack of streamlined design of jet aircraft and poor engine technology.

After World War II, the Nazi Air Force actively carried out the research and development of new jet fighters in order to no longer suffer from the J-11. However, the Nazi Air Force's own aircraft factories never came out with satisfactory products. For various reasons, the jet fighters launched by Junker, Decesmit, Fokker and other aircraft companies never passed the Nazi space test, which made Hitler very annoyed.

At a critical moment, the fall of the Soviet Union brought fresh blood to the German Union. ˋˊ Hitler had to admit that the Soviet Union had a very high level of knowledge and technology, and that they were the ones who came after them, surpassing the German scientists in many aspects, and even had the accumulation of scientific and technological level that directly caught up with the Chinese Empire.

As early as the Soviet era, when the Soviet Union saw the powerful combat capability of the J11 fighter jet of the Chinese Empire during World War II, the then Soviet leader Stalin began to conduct research and copycat research by Soviet scientists. Because the Chinese Empire regarded the Soviet Union as an ally at that time, many Soviet Air Force pilots were able to test fly the J11 fighter, and the Soviet ground crew even worked with the pilots of the Chinese Empire to maintain the J11 fighter. From this, the USSR learned a lot and provided valuable experience for the development of jet fighters in the USSR after that.

The Mikoyan Aircraft Company of the former Soviet Union is one of the best in this. As early as World War II, the Mikoyan company developed and designed the MiG series of fighters for the Soviet Union.

At first, the Soviet Union was not convinced by the Chinese Empire's assertion that propeller fighters would encounter speed bottlenecks when they reached speeds above 750 kilometers per hour, and the Soviet Union developed several models of propeller fighters to deny the Chinese Empire's assertions.

However, the Soviets soon discovered that they were really wrong, and the new fighters they were developing one after another to increase the speed of the propeller fighters encountered the relevant problems raised by the Chinese Empire. For example, in order to make the plane fly faster and be able to catch up with the speed of the J11 fighter of the Chinese Empire, the Soviet Union tried every possible way to increase the power of the engine. However, when the power of the aviation piston engine is high enough to allow the aircraft to reach a speed of about 750 km/h, it is difficult to increase the speed of the aircraft even more. ˋˊ on the one hand, because the rotational speed of the propeller is not unlimited. On the other hand, when the speed of the aircraft is so fast that the propeller moves relative to the air is close to the speed of sound, an air wave is generated in front of the propeller, like the bow wave that occurs when the ship is moving at high speed on the water, called a "shock wave". The drag caused by this shock wave is so great that the efficiency of the propeller immediately drops sharply. No matter how powerful the engine is, the plane still does not fly fast. Therefore, to make the plane fly fast, to the speed of sound, the piston engine is powerless.

Jets are different. The jet engine is burned by air and gasoline, producing a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which is sprayed backwards to produce thrust to move the aircraft forward. Jet aircraft are particularly suitable for high-speed flight because of the direct reaction force generated by the high-speed jet flow to propel the aircraft to fly, unlike the propeller aircraft, which will decrease its efficiency when flying at high speed. ˋˊ

The Soviets finally gave up their white-spoon obsession, admitting that they could not increase the speed of propeller fighters faster than the speed of sound. However, this did not mean that they had given up catching up with the Chinese Imperial Air Force, on the contrary, the Soviet Union had learned this lesson and began to learn from the Chinese Empire in an all-round way. During the Sino-Soviet honeymoon, many Soviet aviation experts were able to visit and train at major aviation academies and aircraft companies in the Chinese Empire, which injected fresh blood into the Soviet Union's jet fighter research team.

With the fall of the Soviet Union, Mikoyan and other aircraft companies were merged into the German Union and placed under the jurisdiction of the Nazi Air Force.

Among them, the MiG-9 fighter under development by Mikoyan was selected as a key training object of the Nazi Air Force.

Of course, the real reason why the Nazi Air Force chose the Mikoyan company was that the design of the MiG-9 was similar to the ME262 fighter in service with the Nazi Air Force, and its engine was also a copy of the German BMW003 jet engine (Soviet designation RD-20, static thrust 800 kg each). Because the MiG-9 has a strong German ancestry, it was easily accepted by the Nazi Air Force.

The aerodynamic layout of the MiG-9 resembles that of an older piston aircraft, with a jet engine in the lower part of the forward fuselage, a three-point landing gear in the front, a straight mid-wing wing, three cannons in the head, and a barrel protruding from the fuselage. The maximum take-off weight is 5501 kg, the maximum level flight speed is Mach 0.8, the practical ceiling is 12800 meters, the range is 1100 kilometers, and the weapon system is 1 37 mm gun and 2 23 mm guns.

Since the Xing energy of the MiG-9 is more advanced than the models developed by other manufacturers of the German Union, in view of the huge military pressure of the Chinese Empire, about 1,500 J11 fighter jets were deployed to the surrounding areas of NATO, forcing the German Union to respond.

Thus, by March 1946, after the first successful first flight of the first MiG-9 jet fighter prototype, Hitler immediately ordered the production of 1,000 MiG-9 fighters, making it the first mass-produced jet fighter after the German War.

However, as a jet fighter, the MiG-9 was not a success, and was only a temporary product of the German Union's rush to counter the J11 fighters of the Chinese Empire. It was not in service for a long time and proved to be no match for the J11 in local wars, so it was decommissioned in 1952 after the mass production of new advanced fighters.

However, the MiG-9 fighter became a model of sincere cooperation between Germany and the Soviet Union, and Hitler later listed the Mikoyan Company, Sukhoi Company and other aircraft companies in the former Soviet Union as the same object as the German Junker Company, Fokker Company and other giant enterprises, and the German Air Force engaged in fair competition among them. This not only appeased the heart of the former Soviet Union under the rule of the German Federation, but also combined the scientific and technological forces of the Soviet Union and Germany, which played a huge role in the future German Union against the Chinese Empire.

It was not until many years later that the Chinese Empire was surprised and regretted by the advanced weapons designed by the former Soviet Union into the German Federation. Many military strategists lamented that if they had not abandoned the Soviet Union back then, they might not have worried about establishing a strong enemy in the future. Of course, there are also many military experts who believe that if the Soviet Union had been left behind, perhaps the Chinese Empire would have faced the threat of more powerful Soviet weapons.

The world is unpredictable, and what the Chinese Empire has to do is not to regret it, but to go all out to defeat any enemy in front of it.
