"Now, the Luftwaffe has made the following arrangements...... Fokker Wolf is responsible for the production of the current combat aircraft, Messersmitt is responsible for the development of the new fighter of the future, Junkers is responsible for the production of multi-role aircraft and maintains the production of medium bombers, Heinkel is responsible for the development of large transport aircraft, and Dornier is responsible for the development of long-range strategic bombers! Goering stood up and announced the requirements of the Air Force. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After reading it, he looked at everyone whose faces were not very bright, and continued: "Of course, the competitiveness of each company's R&D must be preserved. ”

As he spoke, he took out another document and continued to arrange: "Each company can continue to invest in R&D in the field of interest to itself, and if the R&D is successful, you can get an order reward." ”

"And the company that was originally responsible for this field will be deducted a part of the profits, as a reward for competition, and reward to competing companies!" As he spoke, he looked at all the heads of the companies present.

After all, the Air Force did not want to see a dominance of Germany, nor did it want to see Germany fall behind the Allies in the field of aviation without competition.

Therefore, all competition mechanisms still exist, and this is why the Luftwaffe will no longer purchase and equip more than a dozen aircraft at the same time in order to maintain this competition. The Luftwaffe simplified logistics, reduced the number of equipment it owned, and reduced the investment in production.

At the same time, aircraft production companies are also under considerable pressure in a competitive environment! This allowed the Luftwaffe to procure state-of-the-art aircraft to fight the enemy.

After so many institutional reforms, Goering began to think about the Führer's change of thinking about the requirements for aircraft design.

This aspect of the matter is very professional, after Goering, Kesselring and other high-level discussions in the Air Force, the final conclusion is indeed closer to Li Le's request.

Still, when Goering read these demands, his expression was still painful. It was as if to deprive him of the pleasure of depriving him of the right to customize his own air force.

This is like saying that it is an unreasonable requirement to let a lolicon admit that her childish breasts are big, and she can only die in the field of flat breasts for the rest of her life.

Or to put it more tragically: it seems to make a boy who has liked big ships and cannons all his life admit that what he likes should have disappeared a long time ago.

Cannons are a man's romance! More turrets are justice! Armor is the truth, okay? Under such thinking, every choice is a heart-wrenching pain.

Goering, at this moment, is tasting this pain: "At the same time, the Reich Air Force changed the following standards for research and development: first, the requirement that the bomber must have a dive function was abolished; Second, the design requirements for low-altitude dogfights for high-altitude interceptor fighters will be abolished; Third ......"

In this era, the Luftwaffe was very superstitious about dive bombers, because this tactic carried forward on the Stuka bomber was so fascinating.

At an angle of nearly 90 degrees to the ground, he swoops down from the sky, like an eagle, preying on everything under his rule!

This coincides with the Third Reich's use of the eagle as its totem! The Germanic eagle, like the Stuka bomber, should rush to its prey!

As if it were a belief, this idea was very popular in the top echelons of the Luftwaffe, including Goering, who loved this crazy bombing of Stuka!

Of course, there is some truth to this superstition. Because of the limitations of this era, the bombing accuracy of horizontal bombing is so low that it is overwhelming.

Even Germany, which is famous for its optical instruments, does not have a very good solution for bomber targeting and bombing.

Therefore, the dive bomber came into being, this kind of bombing method that aims the nose at the target and uses inertia to ensure accuracy, which is simply 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 brass of the Luftwaffe, relying on their own likes and dislikes, demanded that all bombers equipped by the German army must have dive bombing functions!

Yes, you heard it right, all bombers must have this feature! -- Later, the HE-177 "heavy" bomber developed by Germany actually had this requirement!

Forced by this unreasonable demand, the HE-177 bomber went so far as to adopt a dual-linkage layout - two engines on one wing, but only one propeller.

This led the HE-177 bomber to "facelift" the four-engine bomber into a twin-engine bomber, and as a result, the problem continued to be tinkered with until the end of the war.

Such bizarre demands were numerous throughout World War II, 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 had been honestly made into a four-engine strategic bomber, Germany would have really patronized the Ural industrial region and let Stalin taste the taste of strategic bombing.

Also to the dismay of German designers, the Luftwaffe has always emphasized the universal performance of fighters. Although this was well unified with the ME-109E fighter, over time this unification eventually led the Luftwaffe to a dead end.

Because of the quality of the fuel itself, as well as the pertinence of the engine performance, Germany is actually not suitable for a general-purpose fighter on the ME-109E.

Germany is more suited to Russia's path and follows two different paths for the development of fighter jets, one for high-altitude and high-speed interceptors, and the other for low-altitude air supremacy fighters.

This allocation of resources is more in line with the Luftwaffe's development idea - to use ace fighters to find enemy fighters and play dog fights.

Then use high-altitude high-speed interceptors, equipped with large-caliber cannons, and fly rookies who can only dive and pull up, to find trouble with Allied bombers!

"Oh my God...... Finally canceled ......" Henkel's engineers were visibly relieved to hear Goering cancel the order for the bomber to dive the requirements.

It would have been an unreasonable requirement for a large bomber to dive, and it would have been a huge loss to give up any performance for the sake of such an unreasonable requirement.

After the abolition of this order, the German bombers were able to shake off the shackles and really embark on the path of rational development.

At least, the German bombers will no longer be perverted to the point of being nondescript, flying like clowns in the sky.

If the engines were split and a real four-engine bomber was built, instead of having the engines squeezed together and reduced in size for dive bombing, the German bomber of the future would have looked much more reasonable.

The increased volume can carry more fuel, more bombs can be mounted, the engine cooling problem will be solved, and the longer range will be safer......

When you think about it, this kind of change is really beautiful, so beautiful that it makes the hearts of aircraft designers excited.

On the other hand, the designers of Focke Wolf and Messersmitt were also about to laugh out loud.

They can finally open their arms to the pursuit of individuality: with the addition of an intercooler, a more advanced and efficient carburetor...... In short, they can make their fighter more terrifying.

Let professional people do professional things, this is what Li Le advocates. Isn't it ridiculous to force horizontal bomber flying units to carry out dive bombing missions?

What sounds ridiculous, how effective can it be in a state of war? It's not that no one has considered any of these things, it's just that there is a lack of courage to summarize and systematically correct them.

Li Le wanted to be such a person, and he did not have time for the German commanders and designers, who had already taken a detour, to consume their own time to correct their mistakes.

Moreover, some mistakes were eventually corrected by the German designers themselves, and some mistakes were not corrected until the end of the war - is that not a tragedy?

For example, Focke Wolf once developed a rotorcraft, which is a deep pit that cannot be climbed out of with current technology, let alone Germany during World War II.

In addition, when it comes to the German designers during World War II, they actually built an 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. Tanke, I have something else to do with you." At the end of the meeting, Li Le stopped Dr. Tan Ke, who was about to leave with the information.

The latter looked at Li Le, respectfully, with a pilgrimage expression that had met his fellow seniors: "My head of state...... You have really inspired me, and it can be said that coming to your conference is much more important than anything else. ”

"Dr. Tanke, you've won the prize." Li Le smiled embarrassedly, after all, his scientific knowledge was built 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, the ME-109T fighter jet from Messersmitt is obviously not very suitable for sea take-off and landing, and this problem needs to be solved as soon as possible." Li Le motioned for Tan Ke to follow him as he walked to another conference room.

"You mean to say that I will be converted into a naval fighter based on the FW-190 fighter?" Tan Ke immediately understood.

In his understanding, since the ME-109T fighter is not an excellent naval carrier-based aircraft in the eyes of the Führer, the best alternative to replace this carrier-based aircraft is the FW-190A fighter in his hand.
