Chapter 403: German Jets

In the test flight base of the new fighter on the outskirts of Berlin, Germany.

A few months ago, when the Japanese air force screamed "what the hell is that monster and why is there no propeller?" the Germans began to speed up their own project to develop a jet fighter.

Long before that, the Germans had secretly flown various types of jets.

The Red Alert Empire's powerful jet fighters soon entered the eyes of the Germans.

Compared with the jet fighters developed by Germany itself, the Germans were shocked to find that the jet planes of the Red Alert Empire were too beautiful and too advanced.

At the time of the capture of the Ryukyu Islands, the carrier-based jet fighters of the Red Alert Imperial Navy even fought a record of 0 to 600.

This greatly stimulated the Germans, and although the German air force was invincible in the skies over Europe, it was only not met with the right opponent.

In the Pacific theater, American fighters have already fought against Japanese Zeros, and they are well aware of the performance of Japanese Zeros, and the Germans are also well aware of this.

The Red Alert Imperial Air Force, which was able to completely torture the Japanese air forces and had suppressed the Soviet Union's comprehensive air superiority, was not an opponent at all.

The Germans themselves were quite aware of this and began to speed up the development of their own jet fighters.

Soon a variety of options were made, and after a variety of aircraft options, two jet fighters were gradually finalized.

These are the two jet fighters of completely different shapes that are now appearing in the Berlin test airfield, and next to these two jet fighters, there is also a large jet bomber, quietly parked on the side.

Early in the morning, the mustache arrived at the airfield, accompanied by the commander of the Luftwaffe Goering, and the director of German fighter research and development, Lieutenant General Garland.

Warmly welcomed and accompanied by a large number of people at the airport, the mustache took a closer look at the two jet fighters.

One is the Storm Bird jet fighter that has left a strong mark on history, the ME-262 jet.

The other is a completely different type of jet fighter, the TA-183 fighter.

The two different jet fighters actually represent two different choices for the technology and needs of the German combat development team.

The ME-262 Storm Bird is a fighter that the mustache has seen many times and is no stranger to it.

But this Storm Bird, unlike what Mustache had seen before, was an upgraded Storm Bird, a fighter specially designed for air supremacy.

At first, when the mustache saw this fighter, he positioned it as a super-speed bomber, and the actual combat showed that with the fuselage structure of the ME262, the dive bombing would disintegrate, and the hit rate of high-altitude horizontal bombing was worrying.

And if you have too much ammunition, it will cause the speed to drop, be overtaken by the propeller fighter, and be easily shot down.

So the aircraft is once again a fighter, and the upgraded ME262 not only has powerful aerial machine gun firepower, but is also capable of carrying four wire-guided X-4 missiles.

The TA183 fighter next to the ME262 is another jet fighter.

It is a small jet interceptor/fighter that can be produced in large quantities and is a typical "emergency fighter".

In terms of technical performance and actual combat positioning, the TA183 represents the technical level of the German jet fighter project in World War II to a certain extent, and is a more reliable, mature and cost-effective masterpiece than the Me262.

When the mustache stroked the bloated fuselage of the TA183, Tan Ke, the designer of the TA183, immediately stepped forward and explained: "Your Excellency, the great Führer, this jet fighter has very powerful firepower, equipped with four 30 mm cannons, a total of 320 rounds of ammunition, and can also carry 4 X-4 line air-to-air missiles or 500 kg bombs, and other types of missiles, rockets or bombs can also be mounted after modifying the pylons. ”

When the mustache heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and when Tan Ke saw this, he immediately continued: "Its flight speed can be close to 1,000 kilometers per hour, and it can climb to an altitude of 14,000 meters, easily intercepting high-altitude bombers, and has very good air combat performance, and its combat radius also exceeds that of ordinary propeller fighters." ”

After listening to Tan Ke's introduction, the mustache asked with some excitement: "What about those jet fighters in the Red Alert Empire?" ”

The smile on Tan Ke's face suddenly became embarrassed, and when the mustache saw this, he didn't need to hear the answer at all, so he suddenly lost interest.

Fortunately, the mustache doesn't really understand anything, at least he knows very well that it is really not easy for the current Germany to catch up with the Red Alert Empire.

"I need an aircraft that can match the performance of the Red Alert Imperial jet fighters, not for the good pilots of the Empire, carrying a coffin." The mustache said to all the aircraft designers around him with some annoyance.

Without waiting for the German aircraft designers around him to answer, the mustache saw the jet bomber parked nearby.

This time, the mustache's eyes widened, and he pointed to the jet bombers with a wingspan of thirty meters and thirty-two meters, and asked, "What is this?" ”

Following the mustache's gaze, the designer of the Junker Consortium on the side hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Your Excellency, this is the jet bomber that we are about to test, it is propelled by six jet engines, it can reach a speed of 950 kilometers in less than an hour, the range radius can reach 4,000 kilometers, it can carry about 15 tons of bombs, and it can also carry a new type of high-speed cruise missile to take off. ”

Apparently, the mustache was much more fond of bombers than fighters, and after listening to the words of the Junkers complex, he walked towards the bomber.

The bomber with a height of 8.6 meters, standing below, looked a little small, but the mustache said excitedly: "This plane can fly?" ”

"Yes, it can fly, this is the third demonstration aircraft, it is to test the maximum range and bomb load, there is another one in the wind tunnel laboratory, and the latest production one is testing the maximum ceiling."

"It's good, the Third Reich needs more of these aircraft." The mustache finally kept his smile and said excitedly.

All the aircraft designers around them were also relieved to see the performance of the mustache.

However, before the smile on the mustache's face could be retracted, a secretary of the Prime Minister's Office who came over in a hurry came to the mustache's ear and whispered: "Führer, the latest news from the front is that the Soviets have secretly surrendered to the Red Alert Empire, and the Red Alert Empire has also fully taken over Stalingrad and Moscow, and Stalin is dead. ”

When the mustache heard this, the smile on his face froze, and the atmosphere around him instantly dropped to freezing point.
