Chapter 485: The Battle of Great Britain is a different start

The Germans have long had radar, as early as 04 years, Dr. Hans of Germany proposed the principle and false structure of radar. In 33, the Germans began to develop radars. Germany's GEM developed radars for sea and air in 34 and 36 respectively. In 38, the Freyna FuMG39G radar was already deployed on the German border. At the same time, 20 Würzburg D radars were ready to be deployed in the Ruhr area, specifically to direct anti-aircraft gun fire.

But these are only a few, so when a new radar needs to be built in the English Channel, it cannot be built smoothly in a short period of time. And Lao Xi is pressed for time, and he is also curious about the radar level of the copycat company.

"Not bad, not bad!" Goering nodded pretendedly. The radar system of the copycat company was quickly delivered, and immediately began to be installed on the eastern shore of the strait.

This is what Meng Xiang has been preparing for the Germans for a long time. Of course, the model chosen was from the middle and late stages of World War II, which exceeded the level of the Germans at this time.

However, because some technologies were too far ahead, the copycat company did not sell the radar equipped with high-energy magnetrons at the beginning, but first sold the Mammoth warning radar and the Wassemann warning radar produced by the Germans in 42 years.

The high-energy magnetron is arguably the new device that had the greatest impact on World War II radar. Although the magnetron was available in 21, the multi-cavity high-energy magnetron was not invented until 39 by Landall and Bout of the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom. It was only in September '40 that the British asked the United States to reveal this secret as part of the Allied Forces' strategy to use electronics to defeat the Axis powers.

Later, the Germans got a complete British radar, and they ran into trouble when they imitated the magnetron, and it took more than 2 years to get it out, but it was already the end of World War II.

If you sell it too early, those old-fashioned radars won't sell. Meng Xiang would never do such a stupid thing, and he needed to upgrade step by step in order to make more profits. As for other airborne radars and anti-aircraft artillery radars or something, Meng Xiang is not in a hurry to sell them for the time being, this kind of thing is not urgently needed by the Germans, and it cannot be sold at a good price.

At this time, the copycat company sold a total of 40 sets of ground warning radars.

And the Germans also felt that they had made a bargain, and the 40 sets of radars purchased from the copycat company were only installed in an emergency, and the Germans would naturally use the new equipment they produced themselves with the relevant new technologies. Related technology, the copycat company has agreed that the Germans can imitate, and provided relevant drawings and so on. And what was exchanged was nothing more than some metallurgical equipment and some metallurgical technology.

For copycat companies, through the sale of tanks and ships, the Germans thought that they had mastered some top-secret metallurgical technology, so they did not keep some metallurgical technology that can be called the top secret of some countries to them.

Who would have thought that these companies that manufacture high-end arms would be empty shells, lacking some basic knowledge and technology? And as spies, the last thing they lack is the ability to collect all kinds of information. In this way, in the process of dealing with the Germans, the vanguard army inadvertently also obtained a lot of free technology related to the military industry. At most, the Vanguard paid for some related equipment.

Although some technologies are not top secret in this era, if they are in front of copycat companies that have mastered advanced technology and Huaxia, which is backward in industry, these technologies are naturally at different prices, and many technologies can be obtained directly at a very small price.

The same applies to the Umbrella Company when facing Americans and British.

The creation of the industrial base of the joint theater of operations is a huge project. In this way, you can definitely save a lot of money.

Of course, the Germans did not feel anything to lose without realizing it.

"With these radars, we will be one step ahead of the actions of the British." Goering began to show off to Lao Xi a confidence that he never lacked.

The English Channel is wide, 180 km at its widest point and 34 km between Calais, France, and Dover, England, at its narrowest point. The Mammoth radar provided by Shanzhai companies has a detection range of 185 miles, nearly 300 kilometers. It's okay to control the English Channel.

Hitler did not smile, and while he listened to the staff officers, he was thinking about something else.

Skynet provided another piece of information that the British had more than fifty radar stations, and that the British had a strong ability to build aircraft.

Some of the information on Skynet was the effect of Meng Xiang's golden finger, and some of it was also detected through targeted reconnaissance by spies. Of course, this information is not given away for nothing, but needs real money to buy. Or it can be exchanged for information that other Skynet is interested in. It doesn't matter if it's political intelligence or scientific and technological intelligence.

Skynet aims to create a comprehensive intelligence platform, in addition to various entrusted services, it can also be used as a medium to match.

With the help of the buying and selling transactions of detailed data on various types of weapons produced by the base, Skynet has made a name for itself. At this time, the Germans did not dare to be careless about this information obtained from Skynet.

The British had 51 radar stations in the early days, but Skynet's spies were only able to identify 47 of them, and several others were unclear. It can only be judged by more than fifty places.

As for the ability of the British to build aircraft, it was also a place of negligence on the part of the Germans.

"It won't be long before we'll knock down all the winged British in the sky." In this time and space, due to the fact that the Germans had the majority of the Germans in successive battles, the British suffered heavy losses in fighters, which made Goering even more carried away.

If it weren't for Skynet's intelligence, Lao Xi would definitely be full of confidence in it.

In the First World War in France, the British were shot down more than six hundred aircraft. Even the planes, which only served as local guards, were beaten down by more than fifty. The three-plane formation of the British was far less flexible than the two-plane formation of the Germans. This is also one of the reasons why the British suffered large losses. The Germans also spotted that there were still not many planes left for the British.

But the intelligence given by Skynet shows that the British may produce more than a thousand aircraft in a month. This is also the case, the original space-time, the British produced 1600 aircraft in August. The centuries-old accumulation of the British Empire is very confident.

There is another reason why the British can also buy a large number of aircraft through the outside world. In June, the British began to place orders to the United States.

The British wanted to bring the Americans in, and the orders were mainly placed on the Americans.

The Republic Company of the United States became famous at this time because of the lightning used by the Vanguard. However, although the lightning used by the copycat company and the vanguard army is from the same source as the lightning of the American Republic, there is still a slight gap. The Republic only used the earliest model, and its clumsiness did not impress the British. The British set their sights on the -38.

Because of Meng Xiang's early intervention, -38 lightning became a product of the republic. The Republic-38D, with its more mature design, defeated the prototype of Lockheed's first fighter. In the struggle of the American oligarchs, the fishermen profited and entered the arms purchase of the Americans.

When World War II came, the United States also increased its investment in aviation forces.

But compared with the German BF-109 aircraft, the Americans found that except for the two aircraft of the Republican Company, none of them could effectively confront it. So in the first purchase of military aircraft, the Americans gave part of the orders to the Republic Company, which were used to purchase lightning and lightning. Naturally, the Americans did not put all their eggs in one basket, and the rest of the parts were purchased from Curtis-40 and Bell's -39.

When the British placed the order, they also made a comprehensive survey of these Americans, but in the end they found that the only aircraft that were better than the lightning and lightning were lightning. They prefer lightning to lightning. But Meng Xiang couldn't let the Gonghe Company, a shadow company pinched in his hands, destroy his layout, so the problem of production quantity has always accompanied the Gonghe Company.

As a result, high prices have become a reality for the British. The lightning cost $140,000 and gave the British a toothache. The Americans purchased it themselves for only $120,000, but in a matter of life and death, the British still made the most of their efforts to order 500 Lightnings first. The performance of other aircraft is average, not as good as Hurricane and Lightning.

Of course, the news of this purchase quickly reached Lao Xi's ears through Skynet.

In this way, the British will definitely not be the more than 500 fighters on the surface in the future.

The information that the Germans learned through various channels proved the accuracy of Skynet's news, which made Lao Xi have to make appropriate adjustments.

"First of all, we have to blow up the radar station and the aircraft factory of the British." Lao Xi took a step forward and gave instructions.

The sky is not calm, and the landing time needs to be extended again.

Since July, the skies over England have been filled with the roar of airplanes.

Under the impetus of Meng Xiang, the first batch of BF-109F produced at the Greenland sub-base has also been equipped by the Germans half a year ahead of schedule. The performance of the BF-109F exceeds that of the Hurricane, and it is also more agile at altitudes above 7620 meters. Together with the F-190-2, it became the newest workhorse of the Germans. These are also very cost-effective aircraft from 42 years ago.

The F-190-0 and -1 often caused fires due to overheating of the engines. Meng Xiang naturally wouldn't take it out to fool Lao Xi. And the appearance of -3 was in the spring of 42, although the cost of the base is still low, but Meng Xiang does not mind saving another half of the money, after all, F-190-2 is also advanced at this time.

The BF-109F is also the latest darling of this era, and together with the F-190-2, it has already squeezed out the slightly less performing Me-110 aircraft.

Also because of Meng Xiang's intervention, the German air force has also undergone a lot of changes. Even the bombers were greatly increased with the Ju-88.

In the original history, the Ju-88 entered service only on the day of the German attack on Poland, when there were only 12 of them. And its production speed is also extremely slow, only one aircraft is produced every week. At the time of the bombing of Britain, the forces were limited. Moreover, in the environment at that time, because of Stuka, Goering designed the Ju-88 as a heavy dive bomber and a fast bomber from the beginning. So much so that when the heavy fighter was developed in 40 years, it was hidden from Goering.

At this time, the Germans cooperated with the copycat company and the vanguard army, and the JU-88 appeared one step earlier, and the production had already accumulated 300 aircraft with the support of the copycat company. At Dunkirk, it played a huge bombardment role.

Shanzhai companies have not been able to change the low productivity of the Germans, and Meng Xiang is more willing for the Germans to wave a lot of money at the Shanzhai companies. Therefore, the Germans, who have tasted the sweetness of the ju-88, are more willing to buy it from a copycat company with a very affordable price and almost the same production cost as themselves.

At this time, the Germans had more than 500 planes in their hands, and most of them were concentrated on the side of Great Britain. There is also an order for 300 aircraft purchased from Shanzhai companies.

Historically, the Germans suffered heavy losses due to the fact that the Ju-88 Type 1 had many shortcomings. But this time, Meng Xiang equipped the Germans with the Type 4, which did not come out until the end of the air battle, in advance. Although the Germans still liked to use it as a dive bomber, its large bomb load also caused the smoke of aerial bombs to erupt everywhere in the British Isles.

The "Devil's Wings", the new nickname given by the British to the universal bomber Ju-88, can also be seen in their misery.

The skies of Great Britain are the largest air battle in human history, with thousands of planes fighting for survival and honor. Heroes and aces are constantly produced every day, and heroes and aces fall every day. But gradually, the British were a little unable to hold on.

"The Germans seem to know the secrets of the radar. They seem to have radar too. ”

"The planes of the Germans are not at all worse than ours, our Hurricanes are no match! We need more planes, we need more. ”

Bad news kept coming from the front, the losses of the British were getting bigger and bigger, and the bombing of the aircraft factories also made the replenishment less and less.

"This is not the way, the Germans have an advantage of getting bigger and bigger!" Baron Cyril, Chief of Staff of the Royal Air Force, was having a headache compiling these opinions, and some of the problems he could not solve. After only half a month, their advantage is gone.

News came from MI6 that the Germans also had radar, and it seemed that it was quite advanced.

When fighting like this, both sides were prepared, and they were controlled to a similar scale. In this way, the British and Hurricanes were somewhat passive against the BF-109F and F-190-2.

The Germans' new planes also increased the range, making the situation of running back after ten minutes of combat no longer existing, and the great extension of the combat time also made the British sky gradually covered by the Germans for a long time. At this time, the large bomb load of the Ju-88 that came by surprise exploded into fireworks even more terrifying than Stukka, and the military targets on the British islands were completely destroyed.

"Contact Umbrella Inc!" Faced with this situation, Churchill had to turn to the umbrella for help.

The Umbrella Company is not responsible for transportation, and the political effect is not as good as that of the Americans, and the Umbrella Company intervened in the exchange of destroyers for small islands some time ago, which made the Americans a little dissatisfied. So at the beginning of this aircraft procurement, there was no umbrella thing. But the production of the Americans is lagging behind, and at this time of life and death, they have to find a protective umbrella for relief first.

The umbrella promised that a hurricane or an airplane could also be delivered. At this time, the British did not care about the source of the aircraft of the umbrella company, and directly named them. The Hurricane aircraft suffered heavy losses in previous battles, which made the British put the blame on the aircraft. Besides, Hawker Aircraft Company launched the Hurricane MII model at this time and has its own production line, so why buy someone else's.

They ordered five hundred aircraft from the umbrella company in one go. The Umbrella Company has 200 of them, but they are generally not responsible for transporting them. The location of the transaction was also uncertain, and this time the 200 were set near the Maldives.

When the British arrived, 200 of them were already parked on an uninhabited island. The rest is their business.

They also know the rules of the umbrella company, and they have always paid for it with one hand and delivered it with the other, but fortunately, the umbrella did not take the opportunity to open its mouth, which reassured the British a lot.

But when they were about to pay the money to the umbrella, they suddenly heard bad news. Their wealth was robbed.

Since the surrender of France, although the British have shouted that they will never surrender, they are also arranging their backhand. In the face of the menacing Germans, there were not many people who could firmly believe that they would hold the British Isles. Even the British royal family is worried and is preparing plans for evacuation. Churchill was also calculating that if the Germans invaded the British Isles, they would also need to withdraw to the Canadian group to continue to resist.

To withdraw, the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years naturally cannot be abandoned. The British devised a meticulous plan to retreat westward, transporting $7 billion worth of gold and various securities to Canada and the United States. At a time when hundreds of thousands of tons of cargo ships were sinking every month, it was a miracle that these ships arrived unharmed.

Even more miraculously, these actions have remained unknown to outsiders. This was a shocking secret at the time, but this time and space met Meng Xiang with the golden finger of history.

Some of the top secrets in the previous life are generally declassified if they do not involve too much interest in the later life.

Later generations of Germans lost, and in order to highlight the British, it didn't matter if they told the miracle.

It's just that it's hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood in later generations, and Meng Xiang can't judge it. However, in order not to miss this opportunity, 10 spies were sent to infiltrate the operation.

When the first Jade set sail at the end of June, Meng Xiang also confirmed the authenticity of this plan. However, he never did it.

This time, the British light cruiser Emerald was loaded with $400 million in gold and negotiable securities. Escorted by destroyers.

This action was just a temptation for them. And Meng Xiang is a little disdainful in the face of these 400 million, and there are more than 6 billion behind, so there will not be too many opportunities after scaring the snake.

The second transport, the British were a little different from history, only two ships were sent, after all, the French gold was robbed, and the British became a lot more careful.

After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Xiang didn't take action.

When, for the third time, as the Germans were attacking more and more fiercely, the British could not hold their breath either, and this time finally sent five ships.

This time, the British battleship "Revenge" and the cruiser "Bonaventure Chercher" took on this transport task with three steamers that turned out to be liners. Four destroyers took part in the escort. The fleet, led by Admiral Ernest, carried about $773 million worth of gold bars and 299 boxes of securities, totaling about $1.75 billion.

"Battleship! A cruiser and four destroyers! Meng Xiang had a headache. This action also made the British attach great importance to it. This kind of firepower makes it difficult for Meng Xiang to start.

"Rob!" Meng Xiang hesitated for a long time, and finally gave the order. The queues waiting in Newfoundland and other places set off.

Big harvests naturally come with big risks.
