The decisive battle against the Third Reich

To be honest, sometimes even Qin Chuan is not sure what to do rightly.

It is said that the rebel organizations are right, and they do have their reasons. It is difficult for the Third Reich to sustain a war between the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom... It can even be said that Germany can persist until now and still have the upper hand entirely because of Churchill Helping a lot behind the scenes, he has been delaying the opening of the second battlefield for the benefit of Britain.

And history also told Qinchuan that the final result was that Germany was defeated.

From this point of view, then the rebel organizations are correct, even if they are not unified internally, even if they replace the president with a Baker who has no charisma and is not good at making decisions, even if Germany will divide and accelerate Germany's demise after he takes over.

But in the end, the situation will definitely be much better than holding on until 1945 when almost all of Germany was reduced to rubble.

To say that the rebel organization is wrong means that the situation will definitely not go as smoothly as the rebel organization imagined...Hitler was killed, the Wehrmacht arrested the SS and Nazi officers, and after taking control of the situation, they negotiated with the Allies and ceased the war.

What the rebel groups did not realize was that the basis for the Allies to negotiate an armistice with Germany was that the German army still maintained or maintained part of the combat effectiveness that could confront them.

Otherwise, if Germany is divided and fighting independently, and its combat effectiveness drops sharply and cannot resist the Allies, then the Allies will ask the Germans to surrender instead of negotiating.

But it is obvious that Germany, which was divided and even lost morale, could not maintain its original combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the situation that the rebels hope to emerge can only be said to be an ideal.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Conrad walked into the room and saw Qin Chuan who was meditating on the armed helicopter and said, "Are you still worried about this big guy?"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned, and then realized that Conrad had misunderstood, but he did not deny it, and nodded and said, "Yes, Colonel, can you not worry?"

"We do have reasons to worry!" Conrad stood in front of the armed helicopter and shook his head: "Although it has proven to be very useful in actual combat, it has inherent flaws!"

The shortcomings Conrad mentioned are the conclusions drawn from experimental confrontations again and again... It cannot fight against tanks or even armored vehicles, even if it is equipped with a large-caliber cannon with strong armor-piercing capabilities.

The reason is very simple. When the machine gun attacks the target, it must attack the top armor of the target, and it must be close to the target, otherwise it will not be able to hit, and it may not be able to penetrate the target armor.

Before that, the anti-aircraft machine guns on enemy armored vehicles and tanks could easily shoot down armed helicopters.

This is true even if the bottom armor of the armed helicopter is thickened so that anti-aircraft machine guns cannot penetrate it... The reason is that the target tanks and armored vehicles will not appear alone, they are often a dozen, dozens or even hundreds of vehicles put in together. fighting.

When an armed helicopter flies over a tank hoping to destroy the target, other tanks or armored vehicles can use their anti-aircraft machine guns to aim at the vulnerable sides of the armed helicopter.

To make matters worse, the two huge rotors of the armed helicopter are also extremely fragile.

This makes it difficult for gunships to fight against tanks.

"It may not be suitable for fighting tanks!" Biedermann, who was checking the condition of the armed helicopter, got out from under the fuselage: "We know that tanks walk on land, which allows it to be carried with the same power. Thicker armor and stronger firepower, and helicopters fly in the sky, so they are bound to be limited by this!"

Qin Chuan understood what Biederman meant. All a tank needs is to rely on power to turn its tracks so that it can maneuver on the ground. This is obviously much easier than a helicopter flying in the air, so helicopters must have armor compared with tanks. Disadvantages of thinness and weak firepower.

But this shouldn't happen, because modern helicopters are called "tank killers."

Then, Qin Chuan quickly understood... The reason why a helicopter can be called a "tank killer" is because it can be equipped with anti-tank missiles and can accurately destroy tanks at long distances.

This also eliminates the need for helicopters to fight tanks at close range, so those inherent flaws become irrelevant.

So the focus is still on the missile, and the missile being tested in Africa is the ME163 process.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan asked: "How is ME163?"

"Oh!" Conrad replied: "I contacted them two days ago. Anna asked me to say hello to you on her behalf. I forgot about it. I'm sorry!"

"Colonel!" Qin Chuan said, "The question I'm asking this time is not Anna!"

"Uh... Lieutenant Colonel!" Conrad said helplessly: "Next time, please don't ask ME163 again, okay? You can be more detailed, for example, let me tell you the experimental process or Anna!"

"Okay!" Qin Chuan replied: "I want to know the progress of the experiment this time!"

Conrad pulled Qin Chuan aside. After all, this was a military secret and could not be heard by anyone else, including Biedermann.

"Good news!" Conrad said: "We have successfully destroyed an American high-altitude bomber with the ME163!"

"Manual remote control or..."

This is the key. If it is artificially controlled, it is not uncommon to shoot down the target.

"Radar guidance!" Conrad replied: "They launched five ME163s, one of which accurately hit and shot down the target. We believe... the Americans don't know that it is unmanned and automatically tracks the target!"

Qin Chuan nodded. After all, this kind of control technology is beyond the times. When Americans see something like an airplane turning and tracking from behind, and finally hitting the target... they will take it for granted that it is a suicide plane controlled by someone. , after all, the ME163 was originally a manned aircraft.

"Very good!" Qin Chuan was a little surprised by the progress of this research and development, but it seemed normal after thinking about it. Germany has the best talents and strong industrial capabilities. What they lack is just ideas.

For example, they have always positioned V1 as a cheap bomb that can cover a large area without thinking about improving its accuracy, while ME163 has been positioned as a manned fighter plane... Combining them, plus some positioning and tracking technology, You can make the most primitive anti-aircraft missile.

"But, does this have anything to do with the issue we are discussing?" Conrad turned his attention to the armed helicopter.

"Of course it does matter, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "Not only can we make ME163 bigger, we can also make it smaller!"

"Being small?" Conrad couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "What's the use of being small?"

However, when Conrad saw Qin Chuan turning his attention to the armed helicopter, he seemed to understand something.
