How's 555 going
"Because of this, under the tactical system of our army in the future, the Air Force will never allow defeat!" Li Le said as he pointed to a stack of various drawings placed on the side.
"We have to be prepared for the new aircraft...... The first is to develop a follow-up model of the F-190 fighter, and the person in charge of this project is Dr. Tan Ke! He said as he reached out and pointed at Tan Ke not far away.
As the chief engineer of Germany's next-generation piston fighter project, Tank is really busy right now.
He is supervising the development of engines, as well as the design of the fighter itself, as requested by Li Le.
With the British Merlin engine, as well as various British materials about jet engines, the German engine project is still progressing very fast.
With this support, Dr. Tan Ke's TA-152 fighter development project is expected to complete experiments next year and begin to deploy to the front line.
And if it is equipped with TA-152 fighters, Li Le's Luftwaffe will basically not be afraid of any opponent in terms of fighter performance.
After all, the TA-152 fighter of later generations, which is comparable in performance to the American Mustang, can also be called the pinnacle of piston fighters.
Seeing that the Führer was pointing at him, Dr. Tan Ke stood up, bowed slightly, and sat back in his place.
As one of the most prominent engineers in aviation, Tan Ke is still very proud. In his eyes, except for the Führer, who was a real technologist, the rest of the politicians and officers in the conference room were almost like idiots.
Of course, if he knew where Li Le's foresight and knowledge of the aviation field came from, Li Le would be no different from an idiot in his eyes......
"Second-hand preparation, I have already handed it over to the Messersmitt company, the sky of the empire cannot rely on piston fighters to defend forever!" When Li Le talked about this, he was still very confident in his heart.
After all, his Third Reich was the first country in the world to put jet fighters into actual combat, and it was also the first country to use jet fighters on a large scale.
The famous ME-262 fighter, and other jet fighters that followed, all illustrate the strength of the German aviation industry.
"Relying only on the performance advantages of the Air Force's weapons and equipment is not enough to complete the important task of ensuring the safety of airspace. An Air Force that emphasizes only fighters is definitely not a full-fledged Air Force! Li Le was reluctant to go too deep into the issue of the secret new fighter, and after hurriedly passing it, he opened his mouth to talk about the development direction of other weapon systems.
Radio navigation, as well as the improvement of the radar system, the reduction of the size of the radar, the improvement of the air crew training system, and even the maintenance and repair to ensure the efficiency......
Li Le knows that the relevant supporting projects seem to be inconspicuous, but they are the key to the actual combat strength of the Air Force.
If these details were not developed in tandem, the Luftwaffe would have been nothing more than a balloon that looked huge on the surface, but was in fact an empty bag.
If we want to build an air force capable of fighting, we cannot escape the reinforcement of any link. It's a money-burning process, but it's also the fastest process.
"The establishment of a radar station for testing, and the use of female soldiers and reserve soldiers as much as possible, should be done as soon as possible." When Li Le said this, he glanced at Goering, who was sitting next to him.
Goering has never objected to this kind of thing of increasing the influence of the Air Force and expanding the size of the Air Force. He quickly got up and assured the Führer: "I will do it myself!" Please rest assured! ”
It's just that you have to do it yourself, so I don't have to worry, and I have to arrange for Adrian to keep an eye on it! Li Le said in his belly.
Then he retracted his gaze and continued to speak: "The problem of radar reduction, as well as the development of supporting facilities such as radar detection displays, Siemens and other companies must complete it as soon as possible." ”
Any scientific and technological progress will not be a simple single achievement. Who would have thought that the combination of radar technology and imaging technology would give radar more intuitive and concise functionality.
Who would have thought that the accumulation of technology, one after the other, could finally send humans into space and send them to the surface of the moon?
For the rest of the day, Li Le was talking to representatives of Farben, Germany's largest chemical company.
Because they now have two lifeblood technologies of the German army, which are so important that Li Le needs to personally intervene.
One technology is petroleum refining, and the oil produced by Farben in Libya effectively replenishes the shortage of fuel in Germany.
With this newly-born lifeline, German tanks would no longer be bothered by a lack of fuel. It was because of Farben's efforts that many of the problems that plagued the German army were solved.
High-quality jet fuel, for example, has been a problem that Germany has been unable to solve in the past.
Although Romania produces oil, the quality of oil in Romanian oil fields is not high. Compared to the best American and Middle Eastern oil, the oil here can only solve the problem of whether it is a problem or not.
Libya has more oil, and at the same time it has better quality oil. Although it is still inferior to the oil of the Middle East and the United States, the improvement in quality is real.
It is precisely because of the higher quality gasoline that the engines of German aircraft and tanks output more power.
Because of the increase in oil production capacity, the means of switching from coal to oil and mixing with gasoline to make up for the shortage of oil do not have to be so crazy.
This also allows the service life of the German engine to be correspondingly improved, and the failure rate has also been reduced a lot.
Originally, the production of precision equipment in Germany was very strong, but in the real history, because of the reluctance to use substandard gasoline, the service life was shortened for a long time, and the failure rate remained high.
Now that there is better gasoline, the German engine can work in a more relaxed environment, and the effect of the improvement can be described as amazing.
The abundance of oil also allowed Germany to refine diesel to provide sufficient power for its own navy.
Seeing that there was more and more diesel, the German Army finally moved its mind and prepared to build a diesel engine with more powerful torque and install it on the tank to give it a try.
As it turned out, German engineers were not a bunch of fools, and they could also come up with practical opinions when they had a choice.
Gritting their teeth and using gasoline engines on tanks such as the Tiger and King Tiger and other tanks, and simply enduring the problems of gasoline engine failures, it is not that the Germans do not see the seriousness of the problem.
They just don't have a better choice, because they only have low-quality gasoline mixed with coal to oil, and diesel is the "special supply" of the navy.
The abundance of oil has allowed Farben to produce a large number of petrochemical derivatives, including another thing that Li Le cares about - artificial rubber.
Farben can be said to be another major technical supporter of Germany's initiation of World War II. Without Farben's support, Germany probably wouldn't have had the courage to start World War II.
More than the lack of oil, what Germany lacks is rubber, which cannot be stored in large quantities on a daily basis. Without such strategic supplies, the German armored forces were nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.
It was with Farben's artificial rubber that Hitler had the capital of the war and the invincible year 1940 for the German armored forces.
Unfortunately, the quality of Farben's artificial rubber is not very good, and it is just a helpless expedient measure.
That's why there was the famous double-row staggered load wheel in Germany during World War II, and this is the all-steel tank load wheel in the later period.
Now, Li Le can not only import some natural rubber from a few parts of Africa, but also get more artificial rubber materials from Farben.
The quality of these elastomers has been significantly improved, as the raw materials are abundant and there is no fear of abrasive consumption of rubber.
With these supplies, Li Le can make his factory produce more cars, more planes, and more tanks.
And more planes, more tanks, and more cars will allow Germany to play a more dazzling blitzkrieg and strike its own enemies more effectively.
"My Führer, Farben will expand its production to meet both military and civilian needs." The person in charge of the company finally promised Li Le with a smile.
Any company is designed to make money, let alone a joint oligarchy like Farben. The Führer had the money to give, and was willing to give, and the Faben had no reason to refuse.
In the real historical time and space, it is precisely this attitude that made a giant chemical conglomerate like Faben receive severe sanctions and punishment after the war.
However, until the end of the war, the group will not change its strategy in any way.
"Excellent! I am confident that you can deliver on your promises. Li Le held a day's meeting to determine the future weapons development of the army, navy, and air force, and suddenly felt tired.
Even with the help of countless people to grab the industrial production of the entire empire, this kind of thing is still a very hard work.
Li Le waved his hand at the dozens of technicians and bureaucrats in front of him, signaling that everyone could leave.
Speer gathered his things, turned and walked out of the conference room with Dr. Tank. The two of them whispered an agreement on the F-190 updated improved fighter, next month's production quantities and product quality control issues.
Still pot-bellied, Goering walked out of the conference room with several generals of the Air Force, talking and laughing. The other technicians could only follow him from a distance, holding their own materials and documents.
"Heisenberg! You stay! Just as the last scientist, who had remained silent throughout the meeting, was about to leave, the Führer suddenly spoke, leaving the man behind.
"Tell me where the research on nuclear fission and centrifuges has progressed...... I can't afford to waste my investment...... After all, our time is precious! Li Le closed his eyes, but the words in his mouth were very direct.
