1855 United States Tycoon

Just as Berman was worried, he was driving more unbalanced because of an "airborne torpedo" on the left wing (the original torsion of the propeller would make the aircraft naturally have a tendency to roll to the left) When he was controlling the plane and finally turned his head, he saw that five of the eight airships had fallen to the ground in the flaming air.

Bellman stared at the airship closest to him, approaching the past, trying to grab the head before it was shot down. However, just when he aimed at the airship and was about to launch an attack, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly discovered that it seemed that an "airborne torpedo" was shooting at him!

"Damn it!" Bellman is now ignoring the German airship in front of him. No matter how much money he makes, he has to spend his life. So he hurriedly pulled the control stick, and an "airborne torpedo" dragged a long flame and passed under his wing. Obviously, a stupid guy fired a volley at the German airship, and as a result, one failed to hit the target and flew towards here.

The rapid pull rod made Bellman successfully escape the yaw "airborne torpedo". However, this action combined with the unbalanced load of the aircraft caused Bellman to enter another danger, that is, spiral flight.

Spiral flight is an extremely dangerous flight state. After entering such a flight state, the aircraft will continuously turn down and fall on its own axis. Because the aircraft only rotates in place, the speed in the horizontal direction is relatively small, which makes the various operating surfaces of the aircraft become inefficient. As a result, the aircraft can hardly escape from this state by its own strength. Finally, It can only be planted head-on.

Of course, through reasonable aerodynamic design and reasonable control actions, the aircraft is not without the possibility of getting rid of the spiral. Any kind of fighter jets in later generations basically have to study the spiral state and conduct related test flights to determine under what circumstances the aircraft will enter the spiral and what operations can be used to get the aircraft out of the spiral trap. . Some aircrafts that have special requirements for this even have the characteristic of being able to get rid of the spiral automatically as long as the pilot gives up all operations. For example, the fifth grade of Chitu country has such characteristics, so it is especially loved by rookie pilots with limited skills, and it has become the largest number of planes exported by Chitu country to the white eagle country.

However, these technologies are all based on advanced fluid mechanics methods, lessons from a large number of crashes, and wind tunnel tests for future generations. In this era, there are no such things, although they have already occurred during the development of the Sea Breeze fighter. There have been many spiral accidents, but the accumulation of technology in this era is not enough to solve such problems. Therefore, once the Sea Breeze fighter enters the spiral, it is basically impossible not to crash.

"Damn it!" Bellman cursed. At the same time, he began to work hard to untie his seat belt. The Macdonald consortium is still very conscientious. In the process of developing fighter jets, the parachute bag was also easily developed. In addition, the flying altitude of Bellman's aircraft is still very high, so he still has a chance to escape.

Bellman unfastened his seat belt, climbed out of the cabin, and jumped out. He did not immediately pull the parachute bag away, but first let himself fall free for a while to get away from the falling plane, and then pull the parachute strap, so Bellman immediately rushed to him as if he was yanked. This is The parachute was opened smoothly.

"God bless." Bellman said very sincerely, and assured God in his heart that he would pray honestly every week. Because the parachute of this era is not very reliable, the probability of not being opened is definitely not low. For example, if the umbrella bag is folded irregularly, it will definitely cause problems. Therefore, Bellman never asked the ground crew to fold the parachute for him. He couldn't believe in these guys. You must do it yourself before you can rest assured. But even so, even if there is no problem with the folding of the parachute, there are cases where the parachute cannot be opened. As for the reason, it is not clear at present, so it depends on luck.

In this way, Bellman left a strong mark in the history of aviation. He was the first pilot in the world to obtain the results of an air battle, the first pilot in the world to lose an airplane in an air battle, and the first in the world. A pilot who successfully parachuted in an air battle.

Shoot down eight Zeppelins at one time and lose one aircraft. This result made the British very satisfied. So they placed a new order.

Someone once said, "The arms dealers who do not buy weapons against their own motherland are not truly international arms dealers." The Macdonald Consortium has always despised and opposed such unscrupulous and unrestricted talks. At least, verbally. However, if they refuse to sell weapons to both parties in the conflict at the same time, this is obviously against the principle of "free trade." Besides, selling weapons to both parties in the conflict at the same time can also maintain the balance of power, so that both parties in the conflict realize that they cannot solve the problem by force, which will inevitably be conducive to the ultimate realization of peace. So in the spirit of pacifism, Donald was dealing with Germans in addition to English and French during this time.

Today, Germany’s route to the United States has been completely cut off. Therefore, it is almost impossible to sell weapons and supplies on a large scale. The same can still be done for buying and selling. For example, there is no problem with cooperation in technology.

After the British won the victory over the airship with the imported "Sea Breeze" fighter jets, while placing new orders, they also put some of these aircraft on the front lines of France to perform ground attack missions. The appearance of these aircraft posed a great threat to the Germans, especially the German artillery. In just one week, more than 20 "Sea Breeze" fighters deployed by the British on the front line destroyed five or six German artillery positions and attacked a German army column, causing its overthrow.

Although restricted by the number of aircraft and, more importantly, the number of pilots, these aircraft have not yet brought decisive changes to the frontline. However, the Germans learned through their intelligence system that the British are opening more pilot schools. In order to train more pilots, at the same time they have also introduced related production lines and are preparing to start producing aircraft on their own. And his ally, the French, is also taking the same measures.

The Germans had to equip each artillery position with anti-aircraft machine gun units, but they also realized that even so, it might not solve the problem, because the machine gun range was too close, the British could use that kind of "air fish." "Lei" launched an attack outside the range of the machine gun. Although the accuracy of this thing is very problematic, it often flies randomly, and even flies back after launch. But if a large group of British planes flew over and left this thing indiscriminately, the damage would be considerable.

Therefore, the Germans also came to the door, hoping to purchase these key military technology from United States.

"Mr. Hagen, you know that we and your country have maintained friendly cooperation for a long time. Therefore, business matters are completely negotiable. But we want to know, what do you plan to use to pay us?" Donald asked road.

Donald's meaning is actually very clear, that is, he will never accept the German Reich Mark. You can do business, but please use hard currency, which is gold. But Donald also doubted how much gold the Germans still had. Because the war has been going on for so long, the hard currency of the Germans should have been consumed a lot. Moreover, the quantity and price of the recent rubber sale are considerable. However, I recently heard that the Germans bought a batch of weapons for the Turks. Perhaps by virtue of this trade, the Germans could still come up with some more gold in their hands.

"We can use gold to pay for related payments. In addition, we can also use gems and art to pay." The German sitting opposite Donald replied quite calmly. This answer confirmed Donald to a certain extent. Guess.

"The value of gems is difficult to estimate, and so is the artwork." Donald said, "how to convert, we still need to discuss together. Of course, this is just a small matter, it can be discussed by the people below. In addition, these things account for The quantity should not exceed 15% of the total amount. What do you think of this limit?"

"Can the Ascension limit be increased to 25%?" Hagen asked.

"This ratio is too high." Donald said, "You know, although gems and artworks seem to be valuable, their value fluctuates too much. Once they need to be realized in large quantities, they may suddenly fall into a mess. .Of course, I have our friendship, in order to show our sincerity, if there is something really valuable, after evaluation by our experts, I agree that the 15% limit can be breakthrough. But the breakthrough part The things must be approved by our experts."

The meaning of Donald’s statement is very clear, that is, MacDonald can accept this kind of transaction, but the evaluation of the value of these things must be completely calculated by the people of MacDonald.

"Well, in principle, so be it." Hagen also knows that it is now a seller's market. On this issue, the Germans must make some concessions. Anyway, gems and artworks are not worth the money at the moment. It is worthwhile to use these things to top up more gold. As for the future-if you win this battle, this loss is not a big deal. If the battle is defeated, then this loss is even more trivial.

"I think we can trade in Switzerland or other neutral countries." Donald said.

Speaking of it, Switzerland is indeed a very interesting country. Whether it was the First World War or the Second World War, they have successfully maintained their neutrality. One big reason for this is that the countries that are at war need to do something like this in Switzerland.

"Actually, we also have technology more suitable for air combat. Air combat technology specifically for aircraft may also be of interest to you." Donald smiled, showing eight white teeth.
