Chapter 127 The Navy Does It by Itself
Now, Germany's BF109 can absolutely sweep any kind of fighter in Europe! Cyric, however, proposed to let other companies develop aircraft using air-cooled engines, and to surpass BF109 in an all-round way!
What a joke!
Goering absolutely did not believe it! After all, Goering is an experienced pilot who knows how difficult it is to develop an aircraft, and it is definitely not a matter of words!
And, is it still cold? Brag, right?
"As for the time, it's set at two years. In this way, when our Count Zeppelin has completed the sea trial and can enter the service state, the design of the carrier-based aircraft will just be completed and enter the low-speed production stage." Rick said.
Two years, that is to say, before 38 years, this aircraft will mature!
After finishing speaking, Cyric's eyes were looking at Hitler, and now Hitler just happened to be looking at him.
Hitler completely trusted Cyric. At the same time, Hitler also knew that designing an air-cooled aircraft in such a short time was very risky. Can it be successful?
"Führer, I can use my honor as a guarantee." Cyric said: "Navy, we need this new aircraft! If the development fails, I am willing to resign from the armament department!"
"Haha." Goering smiled aside: "Cyric, this is what you said, don't regret it then."
"I won't regret it," Cyric said. "Goering, in the future, your air force, don't be jealous of this new aircraft."
"How could that be!" Goering patted his chest: "Our BF109 is the most advanced."
When the time comes, see how you come to beg! Cyric thought to himself.
The words of the two have already been said for this sake, so Hitler didn't say anything else, just gave Cyric a meaningful look.
Cyric nodded, the meaning is very clear, the Fuhrer can rest assured, I am sure!
This meeting is of great significance to the German military industry. Historically, the development of the FW190 will not be officially completed until the war period. Now, five years earlier than in history, this aircraft has been planned. !
In addition to the BF109, a more advanced aircraft will appear in the skies of Germany!
the conference has ended.
The others left one after another, leaving only Erich and Cyric.
"General Cyric, I really appreciate what you have done for our Navy," Erich said to Cyric.
Just now, in order to gain benefits for the navy, Cyric almost went to work with Goering, which moved Erich quite a bit. At the same time, in his heart, he already had incomparable respect for Cyric.
"It's all for Germany. Without a strong navy, it's absolutely impossible." Cyric said: "Now, the navy has to raise enough funds to support the development of Fokker's projects."
Erich nodded: "Yes, it will be a focus for us."
In fact, only fighter jets, of course, are not enough, but, once the fighter jets are solved, all the problems will be solved.
At that time, if Goering wants this kind of aircraft, he should be made difficult by Cyric. At that time, no matter what kind of aircraft it is, the Navy can choose it! Therefore, there is no need to worry about another attack aircraft for the time being.
"The other indicators of this aircraft developed by the Navy are more than BF109. At the same time, I also have a requirement that the range of this aircraft must be large!"
A big disadvantage of German fighter jets is that the range is too short. For example, the current BF109 has a range of only 700 kilometers! In the air battle in Britain, because of the range, the German fighter jets could not escort the bombers at all.
Therefore, the new fighter must guarantee the range!
At the same time, as a carrier-based aircraft of an aircraft carrier, it has great advantages with a large range. For example, it can have a larger combat radius. If you get lost, you don’t have to worry about running out of fuel soon!
The FW190 in history has a range of only 800 kilometers. This distance is definitely not enough!
"The maximum range is more than 3,000 kilometers, and the combat radius is 1,000 kilometers. This is what carrier-based fighter jets need." Cyric thought for a while and continued.
I don't know if this aircraft will be very different from the FW190 in history after this technical indicator is put forward. In short, Cyric knows that this is not just rambling.
After all, in this era, there are planes that can reach it, and the most common one is the Zero fighter, which is such a range! And the wild horses in the United States are even more abnormal, and the combat radius can reach 2,000 kilometers!
The problem of short legs must be solved and cannot be left behind during the design!
"General Cyric, and our pilot." Erich recorded Cyric's words and continued.
The original plan was to ask the Air Force to provide planes and personnel, but now, the result is obvious, even with Cyric present, it is impossible to exert any pressure on Goering!
It is impossible to transfer the pilots of the Air Force over!
"Yeah, this is a problem." Cyric said: "It seems that it can't be recruited from the Air Force, it can only be recruited temporarily. From now on, after two years of training, it should be enough, and, also, It can be recruited from abroad, for example, from the overseas immigrants of our Germany, and some of the flight veterans can also be found."
Erich nodded.
Yes, that's the only way!
In Erich's eyes, firmness once again revealed that no matter what method he uses, he must overcome the problem in front of him! The navy must be the most trusted by the head of state!
"I went to the United States last time and prepared some materials. I know a few are good. You can send someone to invite them back." Cyric thought for a while and continued.
There are indeed a few good seedlings!
Cyric will not do these things himself. He still has a lot of things to do. His life is destined to be hard work.
In the daytime, I have seen the dissatisfaction in the eyes of the British and the envy in the eyes of the Soviets, so Cyric knew that the British and the Soviets must be doing something recently!
Sure enough, just as Cyric had guessed, within a few days, Tukhachevsky led a large group of Soviet naval officials to the German shipyard to inspect the German-built aircraft carrier.
Since Tukhachevsky was here, the Germans could not be neglected, so Cyric ran over again to welcome the Soviets.
