Imperial Overlord

"It's also your hard work!" Lutjens stared at a pair of dark circles and comforted Hines. Both of them have been very busy lately, and neither is actually very comfortable.

Lütjens was originally the commander of a battlecruiser and was directly promoted to the commander of a naval aircraft carrier. To be honest, his combat experience is just a little bit more than Li Le.

Recently, there are so many things that he needs to learn, so much that he is a little desperate. He even wondered at times how nice it would be to swap him with Lindemann, who commanded the battleship Bismarck.

The protection of aircraft carriers is very weak compared to battleships, or compared to battlecruisers. The many armors of anti-aircraft guns can only be described in general, which makes Lütjens have to take care of the battleship under his feet. .

He must always avoid exposing his warships to danger, and he must also strengthen exercises such as damage control, and try to control the battle damage to the minimum range as much as possible.

The good news is that this warship, which was launched in a hurry last month, integrates many of the latest technologies of the German Navy, which makes Lütjens feel the power of technology.

The integration of the latest German radar allows the warship to detect submarine periscopes within 10 kilometers, which greatly increases the probability of the aircraft carrier evading enemy torpedoes.

At the same time, the radar also provides long-range airborne early warning, which can detect aircraft targets hundreds of kilometers away, which can provide a good response time for the German fleet.

For this alone, the combat effectiveness of the German naval aircraft carrier is much higher than that of its Japanese counterparts. Because in 1940, the so-called "electric detectives" in Japan were similar in performance to funny ones.

A year ago, in 1939, all the Deutsche-class ironclad ships equipped with radar had been sunk...

"Don't comfort me, I think you are very busy... Coordinating three **** destroyers, and two cruisers... It's enough for you." Hines looked out the window at the cleaning on the deck. The ground crew took another sip of the water.

"I can't help it. Recently, there was news that there were British submarines near the Denmark Strait, and I had to consider the safety of the fleet." Lütjens put his hand on the brim of his hat: "Then..."

"Anyway..." Hines also touched the brim of his hat as a salute, then grabbed the communicator again and started his own work.

Maybe, when the new aircraft and the new aircraft carrier are commissioned, his work will become lighter... He thought helplessly in his heart.

At this very moment, in the Fokker Wolf Company's test site, a new fighter jet that had never been seen before was parked in the middle of the lawn.

The fighter has a less streamlined nose and a slender tail. From a distance, the plane looks a bit like a FW-190A fighter, but with a thicker tail.

The experimental model, known by insiders as the FW-190T, was also developed for the Navy.

The newly designed fighter is basically improved from the FW-190A, except that a fuel tank is added to the tail of the aircraft, the center of gravity is adjusted and the landing gear is reinforced.

After a series of improvements, the performance of this new type of carrier-based fighter has dropped dramatically. The top speed is only 575 kilometers per hour, which is a lot lower than that of the FW-190A and the ME-109E.

However, this new naval aircraft has decent take-off and landing performance and uses air-cooled engines that are easy to service.

The most gratifying thing is that this aircraft has increased the range to 1,500 kilometers and has a combat radius of more than 700 kilometers, which is farther than almost all German fighter jets.

Moreover, this kind of aircraft can mount an aerial bomb under the belly and use it as a temporary dive bomber, which has very good versatility.

This new fighter has been tested twice, and its performance is very stable. The Navy is very interested in it. They seem to have had enough of the ME-109T fighter in their hands.

What's more interesting is that the Luftwaffe also likes this long-range fighter very much. They hope that they can have this fighter and **** the bombers who bombed Birmingham and Liverpool and other areas.

Although the performance of this kind of aircraft is not as good as that of the flexible ME-109E and FW-190A, it is better than the ME-110 after all. seek asylum...

"Dr. Tank is really a design genius to be able to complete the design work in such a short time." A Luftwaffe general in the stands on the edge of the airport praised the people around him.

Everyone knows that the current head of state is very attentive to weapon development, so these aircraft designers in front of him may meet the head of state at any time, of course, they are not offended.

In addition, who knows what panacea the Führer has taken, and he is so impressed with the weapon design profession that he is flattering the Führer by praising the new weapon model.

The senior officers in the empire are very clear that they are now undergoing transformation and production, and many weapons that have already been mass-produced, in fact, have to be praised by the head of state, and they will never suffer.

Sitting on the side was an engineer from Dr. Tan Ke's design team, the other side smiled and waved his hand, and said modestly: "We just changed our thinking, since our fighter jets are strong in performance such as speed and climb, we can compromise some completely. It's acceptable."

It is more than acceptable. The German Navy has long known what the swordfish attack aircraft in the hands of the British is like. It can be said that using a FW-190T fighter to fight a swordfish attack aircraft can be said to kill chickens with a knife.

Even after the British adopted an expedient measure and converted the Hurricane fighter into a carrier-based type, its maximum flight speed was only about 500 kilometers, which was not the opponent of the FW-190T fighter in front of him at all.

Of course, the British may have more advanced Sea Spitfire fighters, but that's all for 43 years. Of course, Li Le doesn't have to worry about such long-term issues.

If the war drags on for 43 years, and Britain has not withdrawn from the war, and still has the leisure to modify its own fighter jets and go to the sea to show off its power, then Li Le should also find a bunker and study how to commit suicide.

"The take-off and landing have been tested yesterday, and the second and third test planes have been secretly sent to the Naval Aviation Experimental Base outside Kiel..." On the other side of the stand, a Fokker Wolff manager was in charge. Man, is introducing the progress to the officers from the Navy.

"Is it really safe to take off and land on the sea?" This naval officer is also an expert in the naval aviation, and is a rare technical talent.

"The four test pilots have all flown the ME-109E fighter jet. Their evaluation is that the landing stability is far superior to the ME-109E fighter jet. Because we have not flown the ME-109T aircraft, we cannot compare it ourselves." The person in charge replied.

After all, for the German aircraft industry, the navy-specific ME-109T fighter jet, which is produced in small quantities and is still secret, is too mysterious, and even fewer people have flown such aircraft.

"The landing performance is better, which is good news. How is the field of view?" The naval officer continued to ask while watching the plane taxiing on the distant runway.

"There is a problem with the field of vision. After all, it is an air-cooled engine, and the nose is thicker than liquid-cooled. However, we have simulated the landing of an aircraft carrier, and it is not a big problem." The person in charge replied with a guilty conscience.

Although the field of vision is worse than that of the Zero fighter, as the person in charge said, the field of view of the new fighter is not bad.

Because this aircraft uses a more streamlined engine, cancels the shaft gun and the machine gun on the engine, and uses the wing firepower design, which saves space and leaves the fuel tank to increase the range.

A fuel tank is installed behind the cockpit, which cleverly adjusts the center of gravity, so that the coordination of the entire aircraft does not change much.

"I heard about the voyage. Our Navy is very satisfied with this aspect. If the test is completed, I think we will order 150 aircraft for training use." The naval officer said this.

His words made the person in charge of Fokker Wolff company around him smile, because it means that the newly developed aircraft has already had the first order.

Of course, it was too early for him to be happy, because on the other side of the stand, the Air Force also gave its own reservation number. They have more money than the Navy, and they promised to order a full 300 aircraft in one breath.

"Boom!" Some people in the stands cheered for the new plane~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Some people laughed for the new order, the FW-190T fighter, with the roar of the engine, rolled off and took off, rushing into the sky .

The previous test flight has tested the level flight performance of this aircraft, and also tested the stability and reliability. Today's test flight is relatively more exciting.

After the aircraft climbed, it began to circle in the sky continuously. Because of the increase in the weight of the body, the circle radius seemed to be larger.

Although this is disadvantageous in dogfights, because the center of gravity does not change much and is concentrated near the center axis, the new aircraft maintains a relatively good roll performance.

The climb and dive performance are still within the acceptable range, but it is a pity that because of the height of the landing gear, it cannot carry torpedoes and become a torpedo attack aircraft.

"Relevant companies are developing newer engines. If successful, the modification of the fighter jet will be very convenient, and the performance of the aircraft will be further enhanced." While watching the plane roll continuously and then pull up in the sky, the factory manager is performing close At the end, he introduced to the naval officer holding the binoculars beside him.
