Imperial Overlord
: One hundred and ninety-one unreasonable requests
"Now, the Luftwaffe is making the following arrangements...Fokker Wolff is responsible for the production of active fighters, Messerschmitt is responsible for the development of new fighter jets of the future, Junkers is responsible for the production of multi-role aircraft and maintains production of medium bombers, and Henry Kerr is responsible for developing large transport aircraft, and Dornier is responsible for developing long-range strategic bombers!" Goering stood up and announced the requirements of the Air Force.
After he finished reading, he looked at everyone whose faces were not very bright, and continued: "Of course, the competitiveness of each company's research and development must be preserved."
As he said, he took out another document and continued to arrange: "Each company can continue to invest in research and development in the fields that they are interested in. If the research and development is successful, they can get the order reward."
"And the company that was originally responsible for this field will have a portion of its profits deducted, which will be used as a reward for competition and rewarded to the competing company!" He said, looking at the heads of all the companies present.
After all, the Air Force does not want to see a situation of dominance, nor does it want to see the German aviation field gradually fall behind the Allies without competition.
Therefore, all competition mechanisms still exist. This is because the Luftwaffe will no longer purchase and equip more than a dozen aircraft in order to maintain this competition. The Luftwaffe simplified logistics support, reduced its own equipment models, and reduced investment in production.
At the same time, aircraft production companies are also under a considerable degree of pressure in a competitive environment! This allowed the Luftwaffe to procure state-of-the-art aircraft for use in combat with the enemy.
After so many institutional reforms, Goering began to talk about the changes in the head of state's thinking on aircraft design requirements.
This aspect of the matter seems very professional. After discussions with the senior Air Force leaders such as Goering and Kesselring, the final conclusion is indeed closer to Li Le's requirements.
However, when Goering read these requests, his expression was still painful. It seemed to take away his fun and the right to customize his air force.
This is like saying that it is an unreasonable request for a lo*ic*n to admit that she is a child, and she can only die in the field of flat chest in her life.
Or to describe it in a more tragic way: as if a boy who has liked big ships and cannons all his life admits that the things he likes should have disappeared long ago.
Cannons are the romance of men! Multiple turrets are justice! Armor is the truth, right? Under this kind of thinking, every choice is a heart-wrenching pain.
Goering is tasting such pain at this moment: "At the same time, the Imperial Air Force has changed the following research and development requirements: first, cancel the requirement that bombers must have the diving function; second, cancel the design requirement of low-altitude dogfighting for high-altitude interceptor fighters ;third……"
In this era, the Luftwaffe was very superstitious about dive bombers, because this tactic, which was carried forward on the Stuka bomber, was really fascinating.
Using an angle that is almost 90 degrees from the ground, swooping down from the sky is like an eagle, preying on everything under his rule!
This simply coincides with the Third Empire's use of eagles as its totems! The Germanic eagle should rush to its prey like a Stuka bomber!
It seems to be a belief. This concept is popular among the high-level Luftwaffe, including Goering, who likes Stuka's crazy bombing!
Of course, this superstition is also justified. Because of the limitations of this era, the bombing accuracy of horizontal bombing is so low that it makes people collapse.
Even Germany, which is famous for its optical instruments, does not have a good solution for bomber targeting and bombing.
Therefore, the dive bomber came into being. This kind of bombing method, which aims the nose at the target and uses inertia to ensure the accuracy, is so accurate that people are obsessed.
Often a Stuka bomber can accurately destroy an important bridge, which also saves a lot of ammunition for the Luftwaffe.
It is precisely because of this that the top executives of the Luftwaffe, relying on their own likes and dislikes, demanded that all bombers equipped by the German army must have the function of dive bombing!
Yes, you heard that right, all bombers must have this feature! ——The he-177 "heavy" bomber developed by Germany later had this requirement!
Forced by this unreasonable requirement, the he-177 bomber adopted a dual linkage layout—two engines were installed on one wing, but only one propeller was driven.
This allowed the He-177 bomber to "facelift" the four-engine bomber into a twin-engine bomber, and the problem continued to be tinkered with until the end of the war.
Such bizarre demands were numerous throughout World War II and in Germany, a country with insufficient resources. Not to mention a lot of wasted resources, but also a lot of design resources.
It is not difficult to imagine that if the he-177 is honestly made into a four-engine strategic bomber, will Germany really visit the Ural industrial area and let Stalin taste the taste of strategic bombing.
The same thing that frustrates German designers is that the Luftwaffe has always emphasized the general performance of fighter jets. Although this was well unified on the me-109e fighter, over time, this unification eventually put the Luftwaffe on a dead end.
Because of the quality of the fuel itself and the pertinence of engine performance, Germany is actually not suitable for a general-purpose fighter jet on the me-109e.
Germany is more suitable for Russia's path, taking two different fighter development paths, one for high-altitude high-speed interceptors, and the other for low-altitude air superiority fighters.
This allocation of resources is more suitable for the development idea of the Luftwaffe - using ace fighters to find enemy fighters to play dogfights.
Then use high-altitude high-speed interceptors, equipped with large-caliber cannons, and flying rookies who can only dive and pull up, to find trouble with Allied bombers!
"My God...finally canceled..." Heinkel's engineer was obviously relieved to hear that Goering canceled the order for the bomber's dive request.
It is an unreasonable requirement to let a large bomber dive, and any performance that is discarded for such an unreasonable requirement is a huge loss.
After the cancellation of this order, the German bombers can get rid of the shackles and truly embark on the path of reasonable development.
At least, the German bombers will no longer be perverted and nondescript, flying in the sky like a clown.
If the engines were separated to make a true four-engine bomber, instead of cramming the engines together to reduce the size for dive bombing, the German bomber of the future would look much more plausible.
The increased volume can carry more fuel, and can also mount more bombs, the problem of engine heat dissipation will also be solved, and the voyage will be longer and safer...
Thinking about it, I feel that this change is really beautiful, so beautiful that aircraft designers are elated.
On the other hand, the designers of Fokker Wolf and Messerschmitt were about to laugh happily.
They can finally open up their arms and pursue individuality: add intercoolers, use more advanced and efficient carburetors... In short, they can make their fighters perform more terrifyingly.
Let professional people do professional things, this is what Li Le advocates. Wouldn't it be funny to force a flying unit of horizontal bombers to perform dive bombing missions?
It sounds ridiculous, but in a state of war, how much effect can it have? These things are not actually considered by no one, but there is a lack of a person who has the courage to summarize and systematically correct them.
Li Le wants to be such a person. He has no time to let the German commanders and designers who have already taken a detour to waste time to correct their mistakes.
Moreover, some mistakes were finally corrected by the German designers themselves~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Some mistakes were not corrected until the end of the war - wouldn't that be a tragedy?
For example, Fokker Wolf once developed a rotorcraft, which is a deep pit that cannot be climbed out of the current technology, let alone Germany during World War II.
In addition, when it comes to German designers during World War II, they actually built aircraft like the Osprey. Can you believe it?
Believe it or not, this Osprey may still be the aircraft with the highest accident rate in the United States in the 21st century, almost a hundred years in advance.
"By the way, Dr. Tan Ke, I have other things for you." At the end of the meeting, Li Le stopped Dr. Tan Ke who was leaving with the materials.
The latter looked at Li Le, respectfully, and came with a pilgrimage expression of meeting his seniors: "My head of state... You have really inspired me a lot. It can be said that coming to your meeting is more than a Other things are more important."
"Dr. Tan Ke, you have won the prize." Li Le smiled embarrassedly. After all, his scientific knowledge was established 70 or even 80 years later, and it was an inevitable phenomenon that he was more advanced than Tan Ke.
"I mean, in response to the requirements of the Navy, Messerschmitt's me-109t fighter is obviously not suitable for taking off and landing at sea. We need to solve this problem as soon as possible." Li Le motioned for Tan Ke to follow him, and went to the other side. to the meeting room.
"You mean, let me modify a naval fighter jet based on the fw-190 fighter jet?" Tan Ke said immediately.
In his understanding, since the me-109t fighter is not an excellent naval carrier-based aircraft in the eyes of the head of state, the best alternative to replace this carrier-based aircraft is the fw-190a fighter in his hand.
