The year 1943 came quietly, and in previous years, Germany always celebrated New Year's Day and Chinese New Year on a large scale, but when these 43 years came, there was no festive atmosphere in the whole of Germany.

Because more than nine out of ten German families are unable to bring all their family members together.

However, the latest news released by the German propaganda department has greatly boosted the morale of the German people. The new jet, which was originally classified, was widely publicized under the name VF-1. The so-called VF is the abbreviation of the German "Victory Fighter", and this inspiring name, coupled with the very avant-garde shape of the ghosts, has also improved the morale of the people, which has begun to decline due to the continuation of the war.

Potsdam, Institute of Aerodynamics.

Marcel Dassol found Messerschmidt and said excitedly: "I understand why the wingtips of the VF have to be reversed and aliased, because during the flight, there will be a layer of air attached to the surface of the aircraft, and their velocity relative to the body is zero, and this layer of air will produce additional drag when it separates, and interfere with the flight control of the aircraft's ailerons." These sawtooth teeth also have this upside design, which can form turbulence, destroy the adhesion layer, and delay the occurrence of separation. ”

Dassault said as he showed Messerschmidt a schematic of his drawing.

Messerschmidt carefully observed Dassault's drawing, and then smacked his lips: "So, is this design really not purely 'aesthetic', but has aerodynamic considerations?" ”

"Yes." Dassault paused, as if hesitating something, and after a moment he said, "I'm wondering, does Mr. Lin really not understand aerodynamics?" Mr. Chief Engineer, do you remember the notch in the blade of the No. 1 plan? ”

"Of course I do."

Lin Youde drew not a MiG-15 for his engineers, but a MiG-15 Biss, so there is a gap in the aircraft wing knife - the MiG-15 wing knife does not have this gap. Because the Germans revere Lin Youde, or because they want to pat Lin Youde's ass, they also copied the gap when making the model of the No. 1 concept. Later, they decided that this notch was not necessary, so they removed the notch when making the full-scale model of zuò, and the result was that the number jù in the wind tunnel test was a little worse than that of the small-scale model with the notch.

After studying for a long time, the gang found that the problem was in that gap, and the full-scale model was OK immediately after adding that gap. In order to find out what was going on, the aerodynamics research institute tossed for more than a year, and finally discovered a series of aerodynamic theories.

Then the engineers naturally had a question: does Lin Youde really not understand aerodynamics?

Dassault seemed to have accumulated doubts in his heart at this time.

Messerschmitt reached out and patted Dassault on the shoulder: "If I were you, you wouldn't think so much, what does it matter if he doesn't understand aerodynamics?" If only we knew he was a genius, or do you think so, could the average person set up an organization like NERV? Is it possible for ordinary people to start a war with the United States, Britain and Russia at the same time and still end in a draw? Is it possible for the average person to have such a far-sighted approach and start the layout ten years ago? Can an ordinary person be assassinated so many times and still be unharmed? In particular, several of them were assassinated by the Divine Princess—no, Mr. Dassault, he was no ordinary man.

"I don't know who he is, maybe he's another Jesus Savior, maybe he's Prometheus alive, maybe he's holding the Nibelungen Ring, but what difference does that make to us? The difference only depends on whether we are his allies or enemies, and I am glad that we are his allies. ”

As he spoke, Messerschmidt took out a statue of Lin Youde and put it in Dassault's hand.

Dassault glanced at Messerschmi's portrait of Lin Youde, which was especially on his chest, and after a long silence, he folded his five fingers and clenched the portrait.

"Good." Messerschmit nodded, an approving look on his face, "That's right, Mr. Dassault." ”

In the first three months of '43, both sides of the Great War were in a state of recuperation.

It's kind of like another plane.

In the 43rd year of another time and space, because both sides used too much force in 42, the first half of 43 was relatively peaceful, and as soon as the second half of the year arrived, the warring parties began to move. In another time, the Allies launched the Sicily landing in July, the Germans launched the Battle of Kursk at about the same time, and the Soviets launched a large-scale offensive on the southern and northern fronts at about the same time - in short, everyone was on the offensive.

It seems that this plane will also follow the same path, first calm, then into a pot of porridge.

However, it is not completely without movement, the air raids of the US Army and the Royal Air Force have continued, and the Allied Air Force is also busy resisting, and air battles of considerable scale break out almost every day.

And in these air battles, the widely publicized VF began to appear more and more in the field of vision of coalition pilots.

In January '43, Germany produced eight VFs, and in February 11, after deducting losses, the Germans formed the first brigade fully using VFs in early March, and transferred their stations to France to begin air defense missions.

In the first week after the transition, the group conducted five air patrols and shot down fifty-one B17s, a staggering result that earned the group the reputation of a bomber terminator.

However, many problems with the VF were also found during the operation, such as the fragility of the flight control system, which would partially fail once hit by a bullet. In addition, VF needed a relatively long take-off runway, and the British quickly discovered this, so they began to target airfields where VF was deployed.

However, the VF's excellent performance still caused considerable deterrence to the Allied air force, and from the third week of March, the density of Allied air raids decreased significantly, and they were all away from VF patrol areas, so that the industrial facilities of the Netherlands and northern and eastern France were relieved from the increasing intensity of the Allied air raids, and the German allies must have had a better time because of this.

By the end of March, production of VFs had increased to 16, four of the new 16 were added to the front line to replace the VFs that had crashed due to mechanical failures and enemy attacks, and the remaining 12 were formed into a new destroyer group, transferred to Italy, and began their first cruise over the Straits of Tonis on the last Friday of March.

In April 1943, Charlotte left Britain and returned to the United States, according to the information of Odin's Eye, she may have returned to China to meet with the leaders of Brazil and other South American countries, which may mean that South American countries officially joined the United States and Britain.

As soon as Charlotte left, Charlie of France immediately left Paris and flew straight to Condelity.

(Later, I will leave for Guangzhou, tomorrow all day in Guangzhou, and in the afternoon to participate in the activities of the battleship girl.) So today and tomorrow are a change, tomorrow night I get home, the day after tomorrow to resume normal updates. Recently, because I always play two shifts a day in the world of warships, I feel a little too much to go, and I will resume three shifts a day from the 12th, and I've been lazy for more than half a month, so it's time to get serious)
