This aircraft is Germany's most powerful fast long-range delivery tool at present, and in the plan of the Reich Führer, on the basis of this aircraft, a stronger, newer and more efficient improved model will be developed in the future, and it will become an indispensable and important force in Germany's intercontinental strategy. In this era, limited by technical constraints, countries have not yet developed the concept of strategic airlift, and Xu Jun is determined to put Germany ahead of everyone.

The BV222 still has a lot of potential to be tapped, and Blomforth can guarantee this, and Xu Jun has a lot of special ideas to prepare for testing with this giant aircraft as a platform. The current performance indicators of this aircraft have exceeded the historical prototypes, because they are worried that too many structural changes will affect the speed of finished product production, so Xu Jun did not directly come up with the final improvement drawings, but chose the basic standard model after the technology is fully mature.

Blomford did not disappoint him, especially after learning that Xu Jun had taken over the position of head of state, and he put all the most elite forces in the company into this project, and they tried to win the favor of the new head of state in this way.

The idea at the top of the company is clear: most of Blomfors's performance so far has been based on the good relations between the company's top management and Hitler's Nazi Party, otherwise why would so many old shipyards in Germany favor him alone.

Now that the company's future has been firmly tied to the German chariot, if it wants to maintain the increasingly competitive naval ship market, it must make a performance that the new Führer can affirm, so as to smoothly change the court. So the U1001 and the BV222 were like that, and Blomforce went to great lengths to create the best products to prove that he really had the strength to be valued by the Führer and the Empire.

In the end, they did succeed and were affirmed by the Führer, not only received a large number of orders for new U-boats, but also signed a contract with the Navy for the manufacture of the latest heavy cruiser of the first class, and some of the shipbuilding experts under the company were also absorbed into the technical research and development team of the new aircraft carrier carriers of the Imperial Navy. In the eyes of the company's top management, this represents a super luxury order that can be compared to the Bismarck, and the profit involved is coveted when you think about it.

The BV222 seaplane that appeared over Haiphong was the third of the four initial versions built by Blomforss, and it was a prototype that was sent to Asia for the purpose of conducting a series of tests, and the data obtained in practical use would affect the improvement of subsequent models.

Xu Jun believes that this kind of aircraft has a very large use in Southeast Asia, the colony islands of the South China Sea are far apart, and many areas lack airport runways and ancillary facilities, but these islands are surrounded by the sea on land, and some are empty and calm harbors and cobweb-like rivers, and seaplanes are the fastest and most convenient means of transportation in this place.

What Xu Jun values most is the amazing range and load capacity of the BV222, and after the new engine is replaced, the top speed of this aircraft has been increased to 360 kilometers per hour. The aircraft is capable of carrying a payload of 18 tons at a time, and the space in the cabin can carry 96 heavily armed soldiers or 64 stretchers.

Because of the use of new materials and structures, the weight of the aircraft has been effectively controlled, and the flight range has been increased to 5,600 kilometers, and the maximum flight distance of 7,400 kilometers can be reached after the addition of the auxiliary fuel tank in the aircraft. This is enough to make it fly from the east coast of the Indian Peninsula to French Indochina, if based in Singapore, the range of this aircraft can easily cover the entire South Sea colony, if deployed to Australia, her range can cover the entire southwest Pacific region, whether it is military or civilian has a very huge development potential.

During a short stay in Mumbai, the local British Royal Navy was completely surprised that this huge plane was able to take off directly from Cairo and cross the Arabian Sea along the Red Sea through the Gulf of Aden, a journey of more than 5,000 kilometers without a pause, not to mention that in addition to more than 20 German officers and men, the plane also carried more than 30 British and Indian officers stranded in Cairo and five tons of urgently needed local medicines.

This astonishing record made the British have a strong interest in this amazing aircraft, the British Royal Navy has even proposed cooperation with the German side, their existing Sunderland seaplane is indeed very good, but in terms of range and load is completely difficult to look at the back of the Viking monster, the British want to order three for trial evaluation, and directly ask the Luftwaffe if they can in their pre-ordered products, for the British to evenly out a few planes.

The plane took off from Bombay and made a brief stop in Singapore, unloading some of the British naval personnel who had taken a hitchhiker, loading a shipment of supplies urgently needed by the German contingent in French Indochina, and a group of British officers stationed in Burma returning from a sabbatical leave in Singapore.

The plane then took off from Singapore, flew north along the Malay Peninsula and landed outside the port of Bangkok, in order to familiarize the crew with the most important port and base in Southeast Asia. After unloading the British officers there, everyone rested for the night in the port of Bangkok, and only took off from the port in the early hours of the next morning to begin the final leg of the voyage. The original planned destination was Saigon, but because the task force had moved to Tokyo (Hanoi), the destination was changed to Haiphong Port.

BV222 spent most of its time flying along the coastline and even directly through part of Thailand's territorial waters. On the way, two Boeing 218 fighters of the Thai Air Force were also introduced, and the two brightly painted birds wanted to get up and talk to each other at first, but after the Thai pilots saw the huge iron cross and the machine gun mounts on the huge object, they never dared to continue to close the distance. After flying some distance with a sneaky companion in the distance, perhaps because the range had reached the limit of the Boeing fighter, the other side took the initiative to retreat, and the two sides disengaged.

"The ground reports that the waterway has been emptied, sir." The radioman reported to the captain via in-flight communication.

"There's plenty of open water for us to land, and my only concern is the sandbar that lurks underwater, and it's an estuary where siltation is going to be worse than anywhere else." Major O'Haym held the rudder stick firmly with his left hand and placed his free right hand on the throttle stick.

"Speed 200 km, 191 hundred and 80," the co-pilot said loudly.

"Watch the altitude and hold the rudder." Major O'Haim's tone seemed relaxed, and besides that the progress was indeed going well so far, he didn't want to put too much pressure on his subordinates.

"Five hundred in height, one hundred and six in speed." The co-pilot reached out and put his hand on the flap lever.

The plane had reached a critical speed close to landing, and under the technical conditions of the time, a seaplane of this size was almost irreversible after entering the final landing procedure. Looking out of the cockpit window, the slightly muddy sea in Haiphong Port is rushing towards the plane, and the white waves on the sea surface seem to be within reach.

"Put down the flaps." The captain commanded.

"Flaps down." The co-pilot quickly pulled down the joystick, and then replied loudly.

"Keep up the speed, touch," Major Mannheim could say, and before he could finish speaking, the huge fuselage shook violently, and all the items on the table that were not fixed jumped up.

The sturdy fuselage began to tremble regularly, the crew door could clearly feel a strong sense of deceleration, and the safety belt around the waist tightly tightened the body, holding the crew firmly in the airline seats.

Major O'Haim was very skilled, and the plane entered the water very lightly and steadily, without bouncing and deflection. The huge BV222 is like a speedboat, speeding forward in the channel of Haiphong Port, all the speed brakes are all opened, the throttle begins to retract, the speed of the aircraft slowly decreases, and after taxiing forward for a kilometer, the huge German seaplane finally stops steadily, brushing the fuselage of dark green and gray-green folded lines camouflage, and floats steadily on the calm sea outside Haiphong Port.

"It's finally here, our destination." With the help of the crew members, Binz. Captain Horn opened the hatch at the back of the fuselage, and he stood in the hatch two meters above the water, stretching out his arms and taking a hard breath of the air with the smell of seawater.

"It looks like it's our ship, like any other city." Captain Stauffenberg pulled his binoculars out of his holster.

"Which one?" Captain Horn asked.

"It's the one with a submarine parked next to it. Alas? The group above was waving at us. Stauffenberg held the telescope in one hand and waved it out of the cabin with the other.
