1127th Iceland Suspicion
The roar of the engine echoed in a hidden backup airport. Several pale-faced British Air Force officers and a few men in technician clothes surrounded the panting engine, shaking their heads in frustration. Please read the most complete!
This engine had various problems after several weeks of use due to the processing of the blades. It almost killed the pilot of the Meteor fighter while on patrol, and then almost exploded after landing. In the end, it had to be dismantled to make experimental equipment, and the effect was very unsatisfactory.
Just like Nazi Germany, which was at the end of time and space, the side effects of Iceland and Britain's reluctant use of high-tech weapons began to emerge. Their equipment was extremely unreliable, and various problems often occurred on the battlefield, affecting the use and quality of soldiers. play.
Even though these doomsday weapons can indeed be said to be epoch-making latest inventions in terms of performance alone, and some can even be regarded as innovative inventions that lead the development of the next era, but these weapons all have various fatal flaws that cannot be ignored-the price is expensive and difficult Mass production and extremely low reliability.
Facts have proved that it is not only Nazi Germany, with its big brains, pinning its hopes on high-tech weapons on the eve of its subjugation. Any country will fall into this vicious circle after defeat.
"The vibration cannot be suppressed at all. There is no way to install this engine on the plane." The British technical worker who recorded various faults and problems sighed helplessly, and then explained his point of view to the British military officer around him: "This month Only 14 engines were produced in Canada, and after nine engines were used for a period of time, such unsolvable problems appeared.”
Another researcher nodded, and then analyzed the main reasons for the problems of these engines from a technical point of view: "The blade processing technology in the engines is immature, and Canada simply does not have the ability to produce such engines. This is the case."
He has always opposed relying on Canada's immature factories and small businesses like handicraft workshops to produce jet engines. The weapons produced in this way are extremely unstable, and such unstable weapons are more dangerous than the enemy. It's a pity that no one listens to his opinion, or even if everyone listens to it, no one is willing to give up trying.
Searching through the arsenals of the British and Americans, it is impossible to find an aircraft that can match the performance of the German A-152 fighter. If the British are not the first to use jet fighters and produce jet engines, how can they contain Germany's ocean-like f-190 and a-152 fighter jets?
"The 4 Meteor jet fighters that had been accumulated with great difficulty ended up falling 3 due to mechanical failure. Before the German bomber fleet came, we killed 3 pilots ourselves first... What is this called? ” Standing next to the engine, the British pilot wearing an emergency suit and carrying a parachute lamented. His comrade in arms crashed and died a few days ago due to a mechanical failure,
Until now he still can't let go.
Although 3,000 U.S. troops have been strengthened, Iceland is still gloomy. The destroyed runway and the half-constructed base are as eerie as ruins, so that everyone who sees everything in front of them can't have any confidence and can't find a glimmer of hope.
The engine was still shaking and running, making everyone around it very uncomfortable. No one thought that the war could be won by relying on this weapon, and many jet pilots even began to be afraid of performing missions. This emotion spread, and General Dowding, the commander of the Air Force, felt the seriousness of the situation.
"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu all be immersed in desperation to reflect the essence of their literary and artistic youths, but the air defense siren sounded so untimely. Soon someone who called the police ran out from the radio room not far away, waving the paper in his hand and shouting: "The German aircraft carrier is approaching! The fighter force is on standby and ready to take off at any time!"
"I would rather use an outdated P-40 fighter jet than take off with such an unstable thing." Hearing the siren, the British pilot hugged his outfit and followed him as he walked towards the aircraft maintenance shed in the distance. The ground crew complained: "God bless."
To be fair, if the Meteor fighter is given another 5 years to accumulate and develop, this fighter is definitely a reliable jet that surpasses the Nazi German e-262 fighter. Although it is more conservative in design than Germany, it is still a beautiful jet fighter.
At this moment, the British pilot climbed the ladder to the cabin of the Meteor fighter, praying in his heart that his plane would not fall due to a mechanical failure this time. With the help of the ground crew, he fastened his seat belt, and then began to check the various instruments in his cockpit to see if there were any problems affecting the flight before takeoff.
The shrill sound of air defense sirens from other bases could be heard from a distance, making the atmosphere in this secret air force base even more dignified. Now Iceland's air defense is basically guaranteed by two small concealed airports, and in these two airports, there are only a dozen or so aircraft that can take off.
Obviously, the use of fighter jets of this size to face large-scale German fighter jets is undoubtedly an act of suicide. Thinking of this, the British pilot sitting in the cabin froze for a moment. When was the first time RAF fighter pilots were afraid to take off against their enemies? When did the mighty RAF's thousands of fighter jets become so vulnerable that only a few planes could take off to fight back against the invaders?
...
In the Icelandic Air Defense Command, General Dowding frowned and gathered the information in his hands. He was unwilling to let his fighter force take off and continue to be wasted in such fundamentally disproportionate battles. He was afraid to hear the news that his fighter had crashed again due to a malfunction, which shook the morale of his fighter unit.
But the death order given to him by his majesty the king is to resolutely fight back and protect the air supremacy over Iceland. If he did not order the fighter jets to take off at this moment, and the Icelandic base suffered any losses, as the commander of the air defense force, he would definitely be questioned by the royal family. The tangled mood has always been with him, making him feel as if something is weighing on his chest.
"General!" An officer rushed into General Dowding's headquarters with a message from the newly rebuilt simple radar station, shouting: "General! General! The number of German planes taking off is within 20 Between 1 and 30, the size of the German aircraft is between 20 and 30!"
Hugh Dowding's eyes lit up when he heard the result: This time the Germans dispatched not a huge strategic bomber, but a carrier-based attack aircraft that was smaller and carried a small amount of ammunition. In this way, even if it withstands this bombing by Germany, it is tolerable to intercept without taking off the plane.
He made a little calculation in his mind, and he firmly believed in the judgment that Germany's attack would not cause too much damage. With such a small number of attacks, it may be the purpose of the Germans to lure the Royal Air Force to dispatch and then consume the limited power of the British Air Force!
Thinking of this, Dowding immediately opened his mouth and ordered to his subordinates: "Notify the US Army and let them pay attention to air defense concealment! Let our Air Force planes continue to stand by and don't rush to take off to fight. There are only less than 30 German planes. Airplanes, let the anti-aircraft guns pay attention to protect the only radar station, other than these, we have nothing worth bombing by the Germans."
Hearing this, several generals in the headquarters smiled, and then went to each convey the general's order. Soon the planes of the German Air Force appeared over the devastated ruins of Iceland. Obviously, these German planes did not find any tricks. They hurriedly dropped bombs on some suspected targets, turned their heads, and left Icelandic airspace.
"The alarm is off! The German bombing is not large-scale, and the mission of taking off to face the battle has been cancelled. All the planes are on standby." An officer stood by the hidden field airport, facing his few remaining planes, on standby. shouted the pilots. Moderate cheers rang out, no one likes to take off a plane under these conditions.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the pilots smiled happily. The air defense siren was lifted, and everyone turned their attention to the German planes the size of black dots that came and went in a hurry in the distance: "Hey! I said, these damned German bastards, just fly around like this! gone?"
"Maybe they were scared away by your heroic murderous intent." A ground crew seemed to have regained his soul after being disarmed because of the alarm. He joked as he helped the pilot in charge take off his lifejacket.
"Although I don't know why, I always feel that the actions of these Germans are a bit strange." The pilot who jumped out of the fighter jet did not know where he saw the flaw, and murmured with some uncertainty.
However, his words immediately drew ridicule from the big guy: "Don't be crowed, maybe this is just a demonstration by the German Navy." Amidst the ridicule, the pilot also felt that he was too suspicious, so he had to scratch his head He smiled and closed his mouth.
Before the British pilots and ground crews at this base could think carefully, the jet engine that had been testing in the shabby shack suddenly made a weird rattling sound, and only a few seconds later, Before the testers had time to cut off the fuel and power supply, it didn't know why, and it exploded with a bang, blowing off the entire roof.

Long Ling thanked everyone for their concern. He is much better physically. It seems to be a common cold. He was still uncomfortable on the train, but he got better when he got there.
In fact, these days are mainly delayed by funerals, and there are so many entertainments and so busy. There are far more weddings and funerals in the south than in the north, and the different customs really made Long Ling feel it again after the wedding.
Thank you for your waiting and support. Longling will update it as soon as possible to present you with a better story. To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
