Note: This chapter is actually more than 7,300 words, but it is charged according to 6,000 words. I merged the previous chapter, which was only a thousand words, and didn't overcharge the reader. I typed the wrong chapter name in the previous chapter, and I'm going to go back and delete this chapter. So although the first 1,000 words are repeated, it does not overcharge the reader

After three o'clock in the morning on February 25, countless Germans were awakened in their sleep by a sudden and violent knock on the door.

"Hans, Hans, open the door, wake up, something is wrong!"

The dissatisfied voice of the man who was awakened in his sleep: "What can't I say tomorrow, three watches in the middle of the night"

Neighbors who rushed to knock on the door: "The Navy and the British Navy have exchanged fire!" It's on the radio! It's the scene

Live, it's on the air right now, turn on the radio! Your son served on the Shane, right? Turn on the radio! ”

Similar scenes are being played out all over Germany.

The SS and the Sephirothians, the two henchmen of Hannah, joined forces and acted everywhere in Germany, waking up a large number of German civilians from their warm bedding and organizing them to gather and pray in the local Saphiroslav church. The organizers, who had been prepared for a long time, took out the candles that had been prepared long ago and handed them to the civilians to carry them for a pious prayer.

At the scene of these rallies, high-powered loudspeakers were prepared in advance, and the sound of the horns was reported in the form of so-called "live broadcasts" about the progress of the fighting of these civilians on the sea thousands of kilometers away.

Some of the content of those reports was prepared in advance, and some were telegrams sent back from the scene of the battle. For example, when Lynhan led the fleet into the Narvik waterway, the German ships were still firing their guns when they destroyed the British radar station, almost at the same time. The whole of Germany was informed of the specific situation here by radio in Guò.

At a time when civilians in Britain and Germany were sleepless all night because of the war at sea, in Germany, some people listened to the news of the naval battle on the radio with a gloomy face after being woken up by the noise outside.

That man was the "number one" big man in the Luftwaffe, Hermann. Goring.

As Hitler's "close comrade-in-arms", among the high-ranking officials in Germany. No one knew Hitler the man better than Goering. In recent years, Germany's national strength has been booming, from a fish belly country that was slaughtered and humiliated after World War I, to a powerful country that everyone in Europe fears, and Goering sees it.

In Germany now, Hitler's prestige has reached the extreme, but there is still an ulterior secret in Goering's heart about this "Führer".

The secret is that this head of state on the stage is fake. It was someone else who impersonated.

Shortly after the Night of the Long Knives, Herman. Gradually, Goering discovered the subtle differences between the Führer and his former presence.

Since 1930, when the woman named "Hannah" appeared at Hitler's side in multiple capacities as a bodyguard and singer, Goering discovered the particularity of this woman very early.

Hannah's origins are mysterious, and her connection to the Saphiroths is no secret to Goering. Mysterious women, mysterious forces, mysterious and unpredictable new religions, these things are all involved. It can't help but make people very vigilant. After the "Night of the Long Knife", Goering discovered in detail that the "Führer" was different from before. He was keenly aware that the "Führer" in front of him had been replaced.

Goering was one of the most "hacked" people in Germany during World War II. However, the memoirs of his defense lawyer during the Nuremberg trial show that his lawyer considered this person to be a very sharp person, especially after he was imprisoned and rehabilitated from drug (crab) addiction.

After noticing the Führer's anomaly, Goering remained silent.

Because of Germany at that time, the influence of the Sephirothism had penetrated deeply. And he did not have sufficient evidence to prove that the Führer on stage was fake, not to mention that now Goering's interests were tightly tied to "Hitler".

When the fake is true, the truth is also false. At this time, Goering could only pretend not to know.

Over the years, Germany's domestic and international situation has improved, and now the British Empire has been pushed to the point of exhaustion.

There is such a Führer, even if it is a "fake", so what?

It's just that. Being in a high place, Goering knew more than ordinary people, but he understood that the woman who was so beautiful that he couldn't fault the Führer was not human at all!

The thought of Germany being secretly manipulated by a woman who was "not human" shuddered at Goering.

Almost at the same time, in the naval building in London, England, another big man was also listening to the radio with a gloomy face.

Tonight's "live", the Germans arrogantly broadcast to the British in English through the Guò radio station, so that the British people "shared" the "joy" of the war.

Churchill, whose face was even uglier than Goering, listened to the radio imported from Germany with a gloomy face, and Churchill wanted to smash the German-made Siemens radio in front of him. In the past few years, it was the Germans who deliberately dumped transistors on a large scale in Britain, relying on the advantage of the generation difference, almost forcing the entire British tube industry to death. As a result, after the outbreak of the war, the source of transistors from Germany was cut off, and when the front line needed to replenish new radio stations due to war losses, they were depressed to find that their own industrial forces were unable to provide a sufficient number of radio stations in time, and even the production of even worse tube radios was so severe that they had to spend great efforts to import "backward" tube radio stations from the United States.

What made Churchill even more angry was that three months before the outbreak of the war, the German side pretended to sell the transistor manufacturing technology to the British, and the two sides engaged in a series of commercial negotiations. As a result, after the Germans got the down payment, the war broke out, and then naturally there was no then. In the electronics industry, the British government was played hard by the Germans.

Churchill listened to the "artistically processed" battlefield reports on the radio with a gloomy face, while looking at the radio communications sent back from the front. On the battlefield in the Norwegian Sea, the game of "eagles catching chickens" between the British fleet and the German fleet was still going on, and the British capital ships, which were only concerned about fleeing, now only wanted to survive until tomorrow, and then turn back to fight, and the two sides were currently exchanging fire. It is mainly an entanglement between small ships that are maneuverable and agile underneath.

Relying on the technical superiority of night fighting, the German side has so far had the absolute upper hand in this skirmish, two destroyers have been sunk, and several battleships have been injured of varying severity. In order to preserve strength, the British ships had abandoned the idea of a night battle with German ships under such unfavorable conditions. Light ships are now like capital ships, just trying to escape.

"The Royal Navy has lost the spirit of taking the initiative to fight!"

Churchill sighed inwardly.

He can do it now. It can only be the people who coordinate the air force department, order them to be ready for an attack, and as soon as it is dawn, send bombardment to the battlefield to support. Because the battlefield was too far from land-based airfields, neither the "short-legged" Spitfire nor Hurricane fighters could fly to the battlefield to provide air defense support, and only attack aircraft such as Wellington bombers could be dispatched.

"God bless my emperor!"

Churchill prayed in his heart. With the growing interest in Sephirothism, Churchill now became more and more convinced that there was a "non-human" force involved in the war, after all, in the course of the war. The fact that it violates "common sense" is happening too much.

It's six o'clock in the morning, and the sky is still overcast through the window, and it's about forty minutes before the sun rises above sea level. Churchill was a little fortunate that in the past few days in northern Europe, where the climate has been harsh, several warm air masses have appeared in succession, but it will not be as bad as the rain and snow during the Battle of Bergen. In addition, it was the end of February, and it was much earlier than then.

Ten past six in the morning. Located about forty kilometers behind the pursuing German main fleet, the aircraft carriers Zeppelin and Seydlitz were changing course and heading against the wind, preparing to release their aircraft.

Based on the time when the sun rose yesterday, the sunrise time today will be around 6:42. However, the earth is curved, and the planes that take off are affected by the altitude difference as long as they fly into the sky. You can see the sun below the sea level in the east in advance.

Before the outbreak of the war, the German Navy attached great importance to using this "height difference" factor to seize time, and carried out relevant training early. Now the lights on the two aircraft carriers are bright, the decks are crowded, and the HE112F fighters have been lifted to the deck and lined up. The auxiliaries were busy making final preparations before taking off for the sortie.

According to the intelligence transmitted from the Scharnhorst, the British main fleet, which was "fleeing" in front, was also making preparations for the release of carrier-based aircraft, and their thoughts were similar to those of the German side, which was also to seize the time difference between sunrise. Therefore, the German fleet side targeted all the planes released by the first wave as fighters.

The German fleet had five aircraft carriers, but only two real combat carriers, and two Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers with a maximum speed of thirty-one knots could accompany the main fleet on the mission of pursuit operations. The maximum speed of the three escort aircraft carriers, which had been remodeled from merchant ships, was only about 23 knots, and due to the difference in speed, after a night of "wild running," they had been pulled further away from the main fleet about 100 kilometers away.

The escort carriers were too slow to synchronize with the main fleet, which was the biggest headache for the German Navy. For this reason, the tactical application had to be adjusted accordingly. When the German fleet shelled the port of Narvik last night, the three escort aircraft carriers "exited" one step ahead of the field and headed west to seize time.

Now the three escort aircraft carriers are also making preparations for the release of their planes at this moment. They were pulled behind because of the speed gap, and they were only escorted by four old 800-ton destroyers built during the Weimar Republic. During the pursuit battle last night, Lin Han did not hesitate to risk being exposed, and constantly swept the submarines along the route all the way, just to ensure the absolute safety of the three escort aircraft carriers pulled in the rear. And because of this practice, John. Commander Tovey was in a state of "disconnection" with a large number of submarines, and keenly sniffed out the danger that the main German fleet was pounced on.

At 6:20 a.m., the USS Zeppelin and the USS Seydlitz each released 12 HE112F fighters, and the three escort aircraft carriers located farther in the rear also released four HE112F fighters.

The British Navy in front of it had only three aircraft carriers in total, and the number of aircraft carried was very small, the three combined were only eighty, barely more than one Zeppelin-class, and the thirty-six fighters of the first wave were more than enough to suppress the old aircraft taking off from these backward aircraft carriers.

"Want to fly the best fighter jet? Come to the Navy! The best aircraft are the Navy's, and the Navy is the cradle of the birth of the best pilots! ”

When taking off from the deck in the new HE112F, Captain Favenier, who still had braces in his mouth, hummed the "recruitment advertising lines" of the Naval Aviation School in his heart with some pride. Returning home for repairs, he was the ace pilot of the Navy. Piloting the newly equipped HE112F fighter to the Air Force's turf to "kick the stadium and smash the field".

In Kiel, Fafnier piloted the latest HE112F and the HE100C piloted by the Air Force's ace Flying Garand, and conducted many simulated air battles, and finally Captain Fafnier won the air battle in a very shameless way.

The reason for the victory was not that he had a long bite on his opponent at six o'clock to achieve a "knockdown". It's that the opponent is out of gas!

With the development of aviation technology, the HE100 fighter developed from the HE112 has a big difference in performance compared with the HE112.

The HE100, characterized from the outset as a front-line fighter, is an air superiority combat fighter, and in order to obtain a higher thrust-to-weight ratio to achieve a greater rate of climb, the onboard fuel capacity is limited to a certain extent, without the condition that the auxiliary fuel tank is equipped. The maximum range is 700 kilometers - compared to the BF109E, which has only 600 kilometers in the same period in history, this range is enough to bring tears to the Air Force's eyes.

From the very beginning, the HE100 was powered by Mercedes-Benz's DB601 series liquid-cooled engine, which was not much different from its historical counterparts: it used a direct fuel injection system and did not have an intercooler.

In the development of German aero engines in World War II, it also went through a lot of detours in lighting up the technology tree.

In terms of World War II technology, the direct fuel injection system is extremely advanced, but it is too advanced. The benefit is that the aircraft will not run out of fuel when doing negative G maneuvers. Under the same conditions, the engine horsepower is 10 to 15 percent greater than that of conventional float carburetors.

This system is also one of the many "German sticks" in later generations of how advanced German weapons are. But the batons overlooked one thing: in fact, the British and American contemporaries had similar technology. Even the technology itself was imported from the United States by Germany.

The fuel direct injection system also has a bunch of shortcomings: the fuel direct injection technology is actually developed after the "EFI" era after the sixties, and it can only be said that it is truly mature. The biggest disadvantage of using this technology too early is that it will be extremely unfuel-efficient, and the problem of oil-rich combustion will be too strict (that is, incomplete combustion), and it will cause a very bad consequence: spark plug coking.

History after 1943. Germany's domestic aero engine technology has stagnated for nearly two years, and the biggest factor is the problem of spark plug coking. Until the defeat of the war, the German fighters were never able to use 2,000 horsepower engines, and this factor was actually planted long ago when they introduced the direct fuel injection system -- and at the same time, the British and Americans had a large number of 2,000 horsepower or even 2,500 horsepower fighters flying all over the sky.

In addition, the German DB601 engine was never equipped with an intercooler. This defect caused the cylinder air pressure to not go up, and the problem of insufficient air intake in the combustion chamber combined with the excessive tendency to burn with rich oil made the problem of coking of the fire plug worse.

Before the crossing, Lin Han saw a military fan enthusiast with the ID "GLEN" discussing this issue in detail on the forum of "Air Force Wings", and was very aware of the various detours and mistakes taken by the German engine start.

However, after the crossing, during the development of the DB601 engine, he did not prematurely correct this mistake.

In Lin Han's view, using some "crooked tricks", certain techniques, at a specific time, can achieve a lot of success. However, one thing to note is that the times have changed, technology has advanced, and relevant concepts must also be changed in time.

One of the biggest advantages of the traverser is that they can accurately grasp the node of the "concept" change.

The early DB601 engine series, when the horsepower was close, was nearly 200 kilograms lighter than that of its British Merlin contemporaries - this weight happened to come from the intercooler. In the case of low intake pressure in the combustion chamber, the DB601 engine with a direct fuel injection system produces more power than the heavier Merlin. Of course, with the increasing intake pressure of the combustion chamber of the engine, Merlin, who has the advantage of intercooler, is full of stamina, and soon catches up with the former and overtakes.

The evaluation of the two, to paraphrase Lin Han's words: the DB601 engine was only cool at the beginning by using "crooked tricks" for a while. The upgrade route of the Merlin engine is full of stamina.

At present, there are two manufacturers of liquid-cooled engines in Germany, one is the famous Mercedes-Benz Pendeng engine DB series, and the other is the old engine manufacturer JUMO series.

From the very beginning, Lin Han and Hannah developed the "two-legged" way of walking.

For the engine development of Mercedes-Benz, he did not interfere in the early days, and let them continue to use "crooked tricks" to take advantage of small advantages, using a combination of fuel direct injection + no intercooler. Focus on oil-rich combustion. However, after the latest DB601N engine was put into service, Lin Han decisively ordered to stop the development of new products in this series, requiring it to return to the "right way" of installing intercoolers.

And the JUMO series of Yumo company honestly follows the British route. From the very beginning it was a combination of float carburetor + intercooler. One of the biggest advantages of the British Merlin engine is that it is very heavy and lean oil burning, and the fuel utilization rate of the engine is extremely high. However, it is an indisputable fact that British engines that pay attention to lean oil combustion are more fuel-efficient.

As a carrier-based aircraft of an aircraft carrier, range is an extremely important indicator, so from the very beginning, Lin Han positioned the aero engine of HNA's fighter aircraft to use a float carburetor + intercooler, and the product of Youmo Company with high fuel utilization rate. It's just that because the old Yumo company produces push, and the related engine "jumps" are strict, so the products of Mercedes-Benz have to be used instead in the early stage - in history, the products of this German company have always been famous in Germany for "skipping tickets" and "breaking changes".

Under the continuous pressure of Lin Han and Hannah, even committee members were sent to the factory. After conducting an investigation and dealing with the dereliction of duty, the Navy finally got to use the long-awaited JUMO212C engine in February. The engine uses a modified float carburetor. A partition is installed to solve the problem of negative G motorized oil cut-off. Unlike the HE100 with a direct fuel injection system, the latter can arrogantly do negative G maneuvers when climbing, while the former mostly uses a spiral climb method, which is also the favorite climbing method used by Spitfires of the same era - under the influence of Lin Han, a bad traverser, the HE112 is simply the German version. It's just a spitfire that increases the range.

Compared to the HE112, the HE100 has the advantage of rapid climbing, while the HE112F has the advantage of continuous climbing over a long period of time. Therefore, HE100 prefers to use straight and vertical sharp climbs in air combat, while HE112 uses spiral climbs that are not easy to be bitten by opponents, both of which have their own advantages.

Because of the change in the engine. Originally, there were two fighters in the same vein, but now the tactical means in air combat are very different.

Because of the rush for military spending, contradictions between the arms within various countries have always existed, and Germany is no exception. After Captain Fafnier got his new plane, he flew it to the Air Force during his vacation.

Garland was the Luftwaffe's new ace pilot, while Fafnier was the Navy's ace. What will be the outcome of the duel between the two aces?

The answer is: often no one can help each other.

Different aircraft have different combat rhythms.

Two elite pilots with more than 1,500 hours of flight time, rich experience and similar skills, wanted to pull the opponent into the combat rhythm of their own aircraft in air combat, and at the same time avoid their own aircraft being pulled into the air combat rhythm of the opponent's fighter plane. The consequence of this is that the two sides are constantly entangled in endless circles, and as long as they do not make mistakes, no one can help anyone.

At that time, Fafnier and Garand, who were full of fuel, were entangled in the air for a long time, but neither could pull the opponent into their own rhythm. In the end, the two sides fought for a long time, and Fafnier delayed until his opponent's plane ran out of fuel, and then shamelessly and proudly declared himself victorious - the new HE112F fighter had a range of up to 920 kilometers without adding auxiliary fuel tanks, more than one-third more than the opponent.

At 6:35 a.m., when the eastern sky was white, the sun was about to rise above sea level. The pilots of the British and German naval aviation, who had released the planes in advance before dawn, had already met in the air.

On the three British aircraft carriers, only a total of twelve fighters took off, and the rest were all Swordfish attack planes that had no ability to resist. And under the "ground" guidance of Hannah and Lin Han, the location of the British plane is even clearer.

"We're facing away from the sun!"

As he swooped head-on towards the location of the British plane, Favennier thought to himself that the group of fighters he was in at this time was still about fifteen kilometers away from the British plane. Due to the gap in distance, the formation of fighters that took off from the rear escort aircraft carrier is now several tens of kilometers away from his position.

At this moment, the wireless communicator on the He112 suddenly heard a warning sound from the aircraft carrier's air traffic control.

"Watch out for your opponent, the fighter on the other side is suspected to be a new Spitfire!"

The alert is a perceptual "scan" from Hannah and Linhan.

After the Battle of Norway in December last year, the British Navy, which had suffered a heavy defeat in the air battle at sea, once again strongly wanted to be equipped with new fighters. This demand was not fulfilled until after the Battle of Bergen.

After the Norwegian Naval War, one of several requests that the new fleet commander, Cunningham, take office, was to ask the Navy to acquire more advanced Sea Spitfire fighters.

It was only after the Battle of Bergen that the armament of the Royal Navy, which had suffered heavy losses, was re-taken seriously by the domestic parliament, and its demand for new fighter jets was met.

So far, the production line of Spitfire fighters in the UK has not been solved. Although in terms of the technological development of new engines, Britain has relied on a hundred years of basic science and technology accumulation to not fall behind Germany, but due to the influence of various domestic negative factors, the process of turning technology into productivity is still very unsmooth. It is not difficult to meet the requirements of the Navy's aircraft carriers for more than 20 carrier-based fighters.

The three British aircraft carriers carried a total of 20 SeaSpitfire fighters, all of which were piloted by the best pilots in the navy, one of whom was Captain Mason, who participated in the surprise attack on Oslo. In the battle of Oslo, the British Navy achieved a tactical victory, but for the British Naval Aviation, it was a victory for Pyrrhus, a large number of excellent pilots who participated in the battle were shot down and killed in the operation, and this group of elites who flew thousands of hours were huge losses that could not be made up in a short time.

As an elite pilot with nearly 2,000 hours of flight time, Captain Mason easily adapted to the Navy's newly equipped Sea Spitfire. In the early morning of 25 February, he flew a SeaSpitfire fighter from the aircraft carrier Eagle.

Because the attack aircraft was slow and the fighter was fast, his Sea Spitfire took off only after the Swordfish attack plane was released.

This plane, affected by the battle in China, the appearance of the Spitfire is also very different from the same period in history. The most obvious change is that the cockpit has been replaced with a fully transparent rear-view bubble canopy similar to that of the Spitfire V, in order to improve its rearview performance (historically, the Spitfire before the Spitfire III did not have a flat back, and the rearview was poor).

Because the HE112 fighter designed by Lin Han was originally based on the appearance and design ideas of the mature Spitfire, the Sea Spitfire III fighter piloted by Mason Shangwei is strikingly similar to the HE112F in appearance, and the biggest difference is only the difference in the paint of the two - the former is painted red and white in the nose, while the latter is painted in eye-catching yellow.

Unlike the German fleet, the British professional combat aircraft carrier was not fast due to its age, and compared with the aircraft carrier Revention, which was remodeled from merchant ships, the speed was comparable, and the two could operate together. However, the carrying capacity of these three aircraft carriers is too small, and after deducting the attack aircraft, they can only carry 20 Sea Spitfire fighters when they are fully charged.

The Sea Spitfire and the HE112 naval battle type, the two best British and German fighters at present, are about to compete for the first time in the skies over Norway.

I'm catching up on the next chapter. Strive for another change in the evening, everyone has a like to like it (to be continued......)
