Chapter 491: 491 The frightened falconer
Chapter 491 491 The frightened falconer
Kos Reiner stood up from his seat tiredly, rubbed the painful forehead, and took a cup of hot tea from his assistant.
He took a sip, but did not move his eyes away from the drawing board tilted in front of him, because there was a plane that looked perfect to him.
This aircraft is a low-wing single-man fighter. From design ideas to engine performance, it is already at the pinnacle.
The retractable landing gear makes the aerodynamic layout of the entire aircraft more perfect, and also improves the flight performance of this fighter jet more than a little.
If a time-traveling military enthusiast stands next to this drawing, he will definitely recognize that the aircraft on this drawing is the famous FW-190 fighter jet.
Among the various fighter jets in the early days of World War II, the best-performing ones were those from Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
Early American and Soviet fighter jets were trash among the trash and had no merit at all.
Around 1940, the most equipment in the United States was P-40, which was so practical that it made people cry. Similar to the P-40 fighter jet, there is also the British Hurricane...
As for the Soviet fighter jets, that is even more impressive. The fighter jets around 40 years ago were still open-top, and their flight performance can only be said to be slightly better than biplanes.
So, after thinking about it, only Japan's Zero, Germany's ME109 and FW190, and the British Spitfire can be said to be excellent fighter jets around 40 years ago.
Japan's Zero fighter jets are indeed very powerful, with long range and strong combat capabilities, and their air defense is not a disadvantage when there are no opponents. However, Tang Mo was still the first to reject this option.
No reason, it’s just that Tang Mo can’t stand this country and he doesn’t like this shabby place from the bottom of his heart. Just looking at it makes me want to vomit, and just thinking about it makes me angry and want to do something.
Before he traveled through time, one of his biggest wishes was to smuggle a mushroom egg to the island to plant, flatten a few mountains, change the feng shui there, and significantly increase the average daily temperature there.
It’s a pity that due to the situation, he didn’t have time to do this until he crossed over. This is a small regret left by him.
Now, when it comes to choosing weapons and equipment, Tang Mo is the first to discard the technology tree from Japan, which can be regarded as a kind of malicious revenge.
British fighter jets are impeccable in terms of performance, beautiful in appearance and powerful in performance. In terms of engines, they have technical support from Rolls-Royce, which can be said to be very good.
However, due to some "un (zuo) irresistible (zhe) resistance (gun factors, Tang Mo finally chose the German fighter jet.
On the one hand, this is because the ground armored forces are formed based on the German armored forces, and on the other hand, it is also because the early models of German aircraft do have a slight advantage in performance.
The next step was to choose between the ME-109 and FW-190 aircraft. Tang Mo finally eliminated the more famous ME-109 fighter jet, which was flown by a large number of aerial combat super aces.
The reason is very simple. The ME-109 fighter jet’s terrible landing gear is really not suitable for novices. It poses a huge safety hazard during takeoff and landing.
In order to avoid unnecessary losses of valuable pilots, it is a reasonable choice to simplify the training process and accept a fighter with a wider landing gear distance and better landing performance.
The overall performance of the FW-190 fighter jet is very good. Although the engine is too long and blocks the field of vision, the problem is not fatal.
This aircraft also has the advantage of later improvements that the ME-109 does not have. It can easily increase its firepower and have a longer range. It can be regarded as a balanced answer in all aspects.
Moreover, this thing can also mount a heavy bomb, serve as a dive bomber, and can even mount a heavy cannon to lick the ground. It can be said that its applicability is very wide.
In comparison, the improvement of the ME-109 fighter, which has a thin body and extremely high internal space utilization, is very difficult. Although it can also mount bombs, the ME-109 fighter using a shaft cannon and a nose machine gun has improved its firepower. Quite troublesome, this is an indisputable fact.
Of course, the biggest problems with these two German fighter jets are later improvements and lagging performance. But this is not a problem at all for Tang Mo.
At that time, he can just get a MiG-15 or F-86 out, or if it fails, he can easily solve it with a Mustang P-51.
Who says that German sticks cannot be transformed into cents? Who stipulates that he can't share the cents? As a lesson from heaven and earth, the biggest cent in the world is a rabbit... Ahem, cough, cough, I didn't say anything (spread my hands).
As the best aircraft designer of Datang Group, Kos Reiner immediately started his own research after getting these drawings.
He discovered that Tang Mo was simply a genius in aircraft design, and what supported this genius were more genius scientists who shined like stars.
These scientists have provided Tang Mo with advanced metal materials that others have never thought of, and can use these materials to push design to a peak that has never been thought of before.
You must know that a few years ago, no one in this world dared to imagine that there was technology to produce such a thin metal skin and the birth of such precise splicing and riveting technology.
No one could have imagined that a group of lunatics could stack engine technology to an incredible level and make an engine burst out with such terrifying power.
In Kos Reiner's view, the FW-190 fighter jet is simply the best interpretation of flying with great strength, and is a brutal provocation to aerodynamics.
A year and a half ago, he believed that only by flapping his wings like a bird could he fly in the sky.
But 16 months ago, he saw what he thought was the ultimate solution for aircraft: a biplane fighter!
As a result, just when he thought the biplane was the final answer, Tang Mo showed him this drawing and told him that some of the parts on the drawing were already being processed and produced by Datang Group.
Every time he saw this drawing of the FW-190 fighter jet, he would be shocked by the crazy idea of Datang Group, or Tang Mo.
While his opponents were still throwing stones at each other with airships, he had eliminated aircraft that could fly more than 300 kilometers per hour and increased the flight speed to more than 600 kilometers per hour!
What concept is this? Probably when other countries take out their own aircraft and prepare to change the rules of the sky, they will face a real dimensionality reduction attack!
The brand new fighter jet not only has terrifying speed and incredible range, but also a brand new set of miraculous communication equipment!
All fighter pilots can communicate with the ground command and can also switch channels to communicate with each other.
These pilots can conduct tactical coordination in real time, cover and cooperate with each other, change tactics at any time, or execute modified orders!
For the armies of other countries that have just spread the telegraph system to regiments or even only equipped divisions, this is another completely untouchable field, which belongs directly to the Datang Group!
Cos Reiner can no longer imagine how terrifying Datang Group, which has such a leading technology, will be in the future. This organization is now like a god, overlooking all the living beings at its feet, watching the world's melee like children playing without any emotion.
When this **** gets tired of looking at it and is ready to take action himself...the world will become completely different overnight.
“Sir, I heard that the prototype has been produced and will be tested soon.” The assistant took the empty teacup handed over by Kos Reiner and said with a smile.
"This technology is wasted. In fact, the Camel fighter jet is... quite good." Kos Reiner sighed with some distress.
In his view, even the Camel biplane fighter jets that are currently being phased out on a large scale are terrifying entities with enough performance to dominate the sky.
As a result, everyone in the Datang Group looked down upon this camel, and all they wanted to do was to completely eliminate it before it had even been on the battlefield.
After all, the commanders of the army are all big pigs. After they have the J-10, they will no longer look down on the J-8II. After having the 20 Ji, they will no longer look down on the J-10 and J-16...
At that time, the aircraft carrier wanted to be a dog, but now the ski jump is still too ugly. With the little sweet 003, the Shandong ship turned into a cow lady in seconds. It is real. This world is too real.
In the red tent of the boudoir, the new is better than the old... Kos Reiner shook his head. Of course, what he was thinking was not so elegant, but it was a general idea.
What he didn’t know was that right next door to his office, another group of young people were researching another new type of aircraft.
That new aircraft also has a lower single wing, but the landing gear is fixed. In order to shorten the length of the nose landing gear, a new gull wing structure is also used.
That's right, now that he has taken out the FW-190 fighter jet, Tang Mo has no reason to let Stuka go! This thing is still a very good choice when early bombing accuracy is insufficient and dive bombers are needed to control the situation.
What's more, it has to be said that the Third Reich was quite experienced in deterring enemy forces from engaging in psychological warfare. The Stuka, which screams when it puts on a whistle and dives, is really like a demon to the ground troops who have never seen the world.
With these two types of aircraft, Tang Mo felt that his air force would have no problem in gaining early local tactical air supremacy.
So the third aircraft he built is the famous B-17 strategic bomber! Only with this thing, Tang Mo felt that the air force in his hands could be regarded as a strategic force that broke away from the tactical category.
Only with this thing did he feel that he had finally made up for the regret of not using the Kirov airship.
You must know that bombers such as B-25 and JU-88, as well as large and intimidating airships with large bomb loads, are just little brothers.
Although bombers are better than airships no matter how **** they are in terms of range, flexibility, resistance to interception, etc., medium-sized bombers are indeed a bit stretched in terms of perception.
Therefore, Tang Mo had to hurriedly develop his own strategic bomber, hoping to use the aerial fortress to make up for the sadness of losing the aerial shark.
Kos Reiner didn't know that Tang Mo was building a super-enhanced version of the aerial bomber, so he was still amazed by the FW-190 fighter in front of him.
As everyone knows, Tang Mo is not only developing seven or eight types of aircraft at the same time, he is even training thousands of pilots and thousands of reserve pilots at the same time.
At the same time, he also established an Air Force Academy in Longdao to cultivate outstanding command talents and related supporting talents.
Tang Mo is accumulating talents in ground handling, maintenance, research and development, command, coordination... and even radio wave majors. This is his true "capital".
Tang Mo must ensure that even if he uses one pilot to defeat one of the enemy's pilots in the future, he will be the winner in the end!
In fact, he has indeed achieved this. He now has the largest pilot team in the world. His opponents, including airship pilots and commanders, only have a fraction of his number of pilots.
In addition, Tang Mo also has a special force that has never appeared in the world. This force relies on aircraft maneuvers and parachutes to reach the war zone, and can appear hundreds of kilometers behind the front in one day.
Each of them is extremely elite and possesses the most powerful individual weapons. They can rain down magic weapons from the sky and deliver the most sudden and decisive blow to the enemy in the most unexpected place.
Except for a few senior officials, even the army generals did not know that Tang Mo had given wings to an army and became as special a being as the Marine Corps.
So, like the Marine Corps, they also have a resounding name of their own: Datang Paratroopers!
The door of the room was pushed open at this time. Kos Reiner was stunned for a moment and finally saw the person in front of him clearly. He immediately bowed respectfully and greeted: "Your Highness!"
You Lin waved his hand, looked at the drawing that Kos Reiner regarded as a treasure, smiled and said: "Your Majesty is very concerned about the project you are responsible for, so I came to take a look... By the way, Mr. lives here. How about it?"
As she spoke, she waved behind her, and her entourage immediately followed and placed the gifts she brought one by one in the room.
Some are famous wines produced by Bunas, such as Bunas 3-year-old and Bunas 5-year-old, and some are snacks from Long Island, all of which look exquisite.
Kos Reiner was flattered and said with some trepidation: "I am very good here, enjoying treatment that I could never imagine before. Your Highness, please take the trouble."
“Your Majesty is worried that you have no friends here, so he deliberately transferred your old neighbors from Long Island. You will be able to see them soon.” You Lin continued to say with a smile.
You Lin has always taken meticulous care of technical talents, especially those who can relieve Tang Mo's worries. This comes from the unique delicacy of women, the kind of silent care that moisturizes things.
Datang Group has never been stingy with loyal and capable talents. As long as these talents are in need, Datang Group will help solve the problem.
In Tang Mo’s words, anything that can be solved with money is no big deal!
Cos Reiner was even more grateful and frightened: "I would like to thank Your Majesty and Your Highness for taking care of me."
"Do a good job! I have to go and see others, so I won't disturb your work, Mr. Kos Reiner." You Lin left with a smile, giving Kos Reiner enough face.
"Your Highness!" Kos Reiner walked to the door, feeling that he owed more and more to this kingdom.
