Chapter 547: The Best Plane

Due to the particularity of the J-1, there is no possibility of imitation of the fuselage, so Hu Weidong is naturally happy to agree, but he opened his mouth to mark the price of 100,000 US dollars per "bare machine" that is neither equipped with engines, nor radars, and even weapons, which is almost four or five times that of FW190

The Germans were naturally angry enough, and once reduced the number of purchases to 200, but the J-1 soon proved itself worthwhile after coming to the European battlefield, although the J-1 equipped with German-made airborne radar was not capable of finding "mosquitoes" at a long distance, but "mosquitoes" could not find J-1 in time, so once the battle occurred, the distance between the two sides must have been very close, and then the excellent horizontal maneuverability of the J-1 was fully reflected, and the "mosquito" was not a full-time fighter after all, and it could not compete with it at all, and the "Mosquito" is far more afraid of fire than the J-1, as long as it is hit by a machine gun, it will basically be finished, so the loss rate is extremely high. After many confrontations, the air combat exchange ratio of the two models reached 1:15, and the myth of "mosquito" was completely shattered, and the J-1 was finally recognized as the first night fighter of Shijie

The Germans, who tasted the sweetness, soon increased their purchases, but because the fuselage material of this aircraft was so special, it could not be bought anywhere except China, and in order to avoid being controlled by others, Germany only bought 800 after all. As the number increased, the Luftwaffe also began to occasionally use the J-1 in daytime air battles, and the results were also very good. Even the latest British model of the "Spitfire" fighter, and the use of special incendiary bombs against the J-1, the exchange ratio is still always above 1:10, and its ultra-long range of 3000 kilometers without auxiliary fuel tanks is even more amazing, so the Shijie powers finally have to admit that this peculiar Chinese fighter is the most Haode fighter on the Shijie at that time, there is no one

In addition, in order to "treat others as they would have been." The German government also bought the same number of H-1 modified (i.e., double-haired) "bare metals" from China (the unit price is as high as 300,000 US dollars), but did not expect it. However, because of its unbelievable ultra-low loss rate, ultra-long range and large bomb load, the H-1 once became the main force of the Luftwaffe bombing Britain. To some extent, the Germans almost used it as a strategic bomber, and the effect was very good, and the H-1 was also known as the most Haode night bomber, fighter-bomber and multi-role bomber on Shijie

The only regret for the Germans is that the J-1 and H-1 fuselages need to be made of haode paulownia wood. And this is only available in China. Therefore, the Germans could not build either aircraft themselves. If you scrap one, you will lose one, especially after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, you can't even buy it. And before, Ge Fatzi wanted to buy more "bare metal" for backup. But with China's current production capacity, exporting a total of 1,600 "bare metals" before the outbreak of the Soviet-German war was almost the limit

Ge Fatzi once wanted to buy paulownia wood to make it himself, but the Chinese side offered too high, and Germany had to introduce a full set of jishu, and then lay the corresponding production line in China, the cost is too great, not to mention that the potential of wooden aircraft is not as good as the all-metal aircraft that can be upgraded once a year, so Ge Fatzi finally extinguished this idea, and only bought a limited number of paulownia wood and epoxy resin for the repair of the Chinese aircraft that had been purchased

The huge losses of the Royal Navy in the encirclement of the pocket battleship "Earl of Spade" caused the British people to call Churchill and his predecessor Neville Chamberlain as a typical example of incompetence. The Dunkirk retreat, although the British government claimed to be a major victory, Churchill knew very well in his heart that it was just a swollen face and a fat man, in fact, Britain paid far more than it gained. The rapid surrender of France dealt Churchill a heavy blow, but just as the so-called "house leak coincided with overnight rain", he soon heard another bad news -- the British Royal Navy's "Glorious" aircraft carrier was actually sunk by German battle cruisers with naval guns, if the original sinking of the "Eagle" aircraft carrier can be barely justified because the Chinese's fraudulent surrender was too despicable, then the sinking of the "Glorious" aircraft carrier can only blame the Royal Navy itself for committing two crimes

In order to avoid unnecessary losses and strengthen the garrison of the homeland, the British government began to withdraw its troops from Norway, and the aircraft carrier "Glorious" was also ordered to return home not long ago, in order to avoid being attacked by German submarines on the way, the Royal Navy also sent two destroyers, "Zealous" and "Akasta", to escort it, but these three British warships met a German ocean-going fleet on the way

The strength of this German fleet is not bad, including the two battle cruisers "Gneisenau" and "Scharnhorst" and the heavy cruiser "Admiral Hippel", but compared with the British fleet with one aircraft carrier and two destroyers, they have a fatal weakness, that is, the speed is not enough, under normal circumstances, as long as the British are bent on escaping, this German fleet will not be able to catch up at all, plus the aircraft carrier aircraft far exceeds the combat radius of the ship's guns, theoretically the British can completely adopt the method of "flying kites", Although with the greatly strengthened air defense capabilities of the German warships and the old backwardness of the British carrier-based aircraft, it is not easy for the British fleet to completely annihilate the other side, but it is also a situation of victory and undefeated, even if all the planes are shot down, as long as they can blow up and sink any of the three German warships, they will definitely make a profit and not lose money, but the British have made fatal mistakes again and again, and lost their lives

Since the "Glorious" had been cruising at sea for several months, in order to give the tired crew a good rest, the captain of the "Glorious" not only did not give the order to conduct flight reconnaissance, but reduced the combat readiness level to the lowest level of combat readiness of the fourth class, and as a result, the British did not notice the presence of ships in that direction until the German warships approached. Originally, even this would not be a big problem, as long as the British fleet kept its distance, the Germans would definitely be fine, but the brainless Captain Orth neither ordered the warship to speed up, nor did he order a change of course, but only sent the "Zealous" to verify the identity of the target, and at the same time ordered the five "Swordfish" to be raised to the flight deck and prepared to take off for reconnaissance (to be continued......
