Battle of the Third Reich

"Just follow the procedures we planned, and I believe in General Bock's ability. ◇↓◇↓Little ◇↓ said," Xu Jun released Kettle's hand, and then reached out to Brauchic.

"I'll leave it to you here, Marshal." Braucic quickly took Xu Jun's hand and shook it vigorously.

"Please rest assured, my head, the army will not let you down."

"So, see you in three days." Xu Jun said with a smile.

"Goodbye, my head of state. I wish you a safe journey." Brauchic stepped back and solemnly raised the marshal's cane to salute Xu Jun. A group of generals behind him also paid tribute to the army commander.

"Goodbye, everyone." Xu Jun raised the Field Marshal's stick and touched the brim, and turned to his special plane.

Weierle was wearing a tall general uniform and was standing by the ramp with a briefcase in hand. When Xu Jun came over, he quickly stepped forward to salute, and then handed the briefcase immediately to fight for Xu Jun. Disenhofen with umbrella.

"What is it inside?" Xu Jun asked curiously.

"Kesselin asked me to pass it on to you. The Second Air Force got something interesting in the UK."

"Keselin is still at Vimière? What is the situation there now?"

"Very good, my head of state, three bomber groups are on standby."

"Just wait for the good weather...well, let's go up." Xu Jun turned and waved to the crowd, and then turned and walked up the ramp. Following Xu Jun's entry into the cabin, Weierle sat on the seat opposite him with Xu Jun's gesture.

"Marshal Redel has set off early. He has to do some preparations first. I think the Navy is ready to go all out in front of you this time." Weierle took off his military cap and gave it to Disenhofen.

"It's only five o'clock in the morning. Did he take off in the middle of the night?" Xu Jun slowly took off his gloves and handed it to the adjutant of life along with the military cap.

"The navy has been looking forward to the heads of state inspecting their equipment construction. Since three or seven years, the navy has never received the attention of the headquarters. Goering has been trying to suppress the navy until you take over. Change. So much so that the navy and the navy now love and support you very much." Weierle said with a look of admiration. It turned out that his lord was indeed far more visionary than the army corporal.

Historically, the German Navy has almost stopped developing during this period of time. All construction projects were ordered to give way to the Army and Air Force, and resources and funds were heavily occupied and misappropriated. Except that the submarine force was approved by Hitler to expand the army, conventional surface ships have not made any additions for several years.

The original shipbuilding plans were all postponed indefinitely. Those powerful battleships and cruisers only existed on paper. Some of the planned warships were only laid with a keel. Many ships were abandoned and dismantled before they were formed, because Hitler believed that the rise of Germany did not require a strong navy.

The German naval strategy is completely a draft paper. The Nazis smeared it on their own minds at will. Most of the time the navy was just a tool for political propaganda, used to indoctrinate the people with hatred of the Allies, or to promote the technical capabilities of Germany. In fact, the Nazi leaders did not trust the German navy, and they had the former convict of the Kiel Port uprising there. Hitler has always avoided naval strength growing too fast, because that would prematurely stimulate the sensitive nerves of Britain and France. The development speed of the German navy is slow. Compared with the powerful army and air force, the German navy has completely become a foil. Both the technical and personnel levels are lower than the world's average standard at that time.

After the war, the performance of the German navy’s surface ships can be described as unsightly, and Narvik’s disastrous defeat was even impossible for Goebbels to conceal. Sunken Glory became a rare highlight. But then there was a series of failures. In the original history, when the Battle of Britain was reached, almost all German Navy surface ships were wounded. All large battleships had entered the channel or on the way to the channel. The entire fleet had only two light cruisers and The four destroyers and nineteen torpedo boats remained intact, which made Hitler possible to order the implementation of the Sea Lion plan. At that time, the British fleet was not damaged, and the local fleet was waiting for it. The German Navy could not even guarantee that they could protect the landing fleet. Don't joke, the former Corporal Corps is just crazy, not stupid.

When the Battle of Britain ended, Hitler completely extinguished his thoughts of landing in Britain. At this time, he had no reason to devote valuable resources to the construction of the navy. It was impossible for Germany at that time to build a fleet capable of rivaling Britain. Immediately he turned his gaze to the east, and the embarrassedly embarked on the road of no return, thus ruining his third empire and his life.

In fact, Xu Jun didn't really feel very cold about the strange design of the navy. The design of the German navy ship was completely deserted for two decades. These gaps cannot be rushed back in a year or two. In fact, the mainstream naval warfare thinking in the world is now in a period of huge transformation. The era of the magnificent large ship cannon is coming to an end, and the era of aircraft carriers and high-speed ships is coming. For the development of the German navy, it is now an excellent The opportunity is a great opportunity for the German Navy to return to the forefront of world naval forces.

"Imperial No. 1 has been refitted well, and I am satisfied with the work efficiency of Fokker Wolf." Xu Junmo leaned on the leather armrests of the armored seat and turned his gaze to the side porthole. At this time the plane has climbed above the clouds, and the eastern sky has vaguely shown a pale white dawn.

The prototype of Xu Jun's special plane is the Fokker Wolf fw200 transport aircraft, also known as the "vulture". However, this aircraft has undergone a complete transformation from the inside out. In the words of Dr. Tan Ke, this is no longer a modification. It is simply the development of a new model.

Xu Jun has always had a partial preference for vultures. The main reason is that this aircraft has an elegant shape that is rare in German aircraft. The problem is that the foundation of this thing is originally a civilian passenger aircraft. The modification and modification will affect the original excellent flight quality. How is it reasonable? Improving it is a technical subject that requires careful research.

Xu Jun’s special plane originally belonged to his predecessor, who didn’t like luxury Hitler. The overall interior of his special plane was the same as his residence. They were all mainly in the style of rustic simplicity, and there was a rustic atmosphere everywhere in Austria. Although the decoration materials of the cabin are really first-class goods, Xu Jun feels like a train hard seat dining car. Of course, this kind of interior will not satisfy the new head of state who likes to enjoy it. In addition, he has his own set of ideas for fw200, which is just verified by the opportunity of remodeling the special plane. By the way, we will weigh Kurt Tanke’s craftsmanship.

Xu Jun was very satisfied with the result, and Dr. Kurt Tanke was an unborn genius. As long as he gives him a correct way of thinking, he can always come up with amazing works.

Xu Jun has always regretted the outdated airfoil of the fw200. The large aircraft originally designed as a passenger aircraft has strict cost control and pursues simplicity in production. Mass production has lowered the unit price of products. This was the airline’s philosophy at the time, and it didn’t matter if it would lower performance a bit.

The fw200 was designed in the early 1930s, although the German aviation technology was developed at that time, but it still lags behind the world's advanced ranks. The most obvious evidence is in the wing selection of German aircraft. German aircraft are often the technology of the 1940s, the fuselage of the 1950s, and the wings of the 1920s. No matter how beautiful the silhouette is, once you look down, you will find an indescribable sense of violation.

Xu Jun changed a pair of wings for the bald eagle in the modification plan. The overall line shape is somewhat similar to the b17 on the other side of the Atlantic. The edge of the wing becomes smooth and smooth. He clearly pointed out that he should not see the vulture on the original wing. Two awkward polylines, don't consider the cost, the head of state personally paid for it.

In terms of engines, Dr. Tan Ke boldly chose bmw801, which is the same type of engine as fw190, with almost double the power. The performance of this aircraft has been greatly improved accordingly.

Xu Jun's landline removed the bottom eggplant compartment and restored the original smooth and elegant body line shape. This aircraft retained only a minimum of armament and was equipped with a tail remote control machine gun. This is a modified template used by he111. An electric motor driven mg131 aviation machine gun mounted on a swinging gun frame, with a 120-round waist drum, is more intimidating than practical. Of course, no one wants to use this thing that day.

Xu Jun excitedly named his exclusive passenger plane Empire One, with a huge iron cross aircraft emblem and base camp eagle emblem painted on the fuselage. On the side of the door is also inlaid with the coat of arms of the Steder family, showing the noble blood and prominent identity of all people. The interior decoration is a fusion of elegance and luxury. The luxurious materials and decorations collected from all over Europe decorate the cabin, full of aristocratic style of transmission history.

Xu Jun’s armored seat leaned against the right side of the cabin. The bottom of the seat retains the escape hatch originally set for Hitler, and a full set of umbrellas are placed on the back of the seat. Once the plane encounters an accident, he can jump from the door to escape. Xu Jun was not prepared to use that thing at all, he believed in his ability to **** the squadron.

The plane has been sailing for an hour, and it is estimated that it should have reached the Netherlands. The rising sun had penetrated the clouds, and the warm orange and yellow light shone through the porthole to the small table in front of Xu Jun.

The sapphire blue velvet tablecloth is set with laurel gold rims, and a white oval embroidery table mat is placed on the table. Disenhofen led the special plane service and delivered it early, Xu Jun and Weierle enjoying the scenery outside the window.

Forked a section of German white sausage, Xu Jun dipped some French seeded mustard sauce, this seasoning has a hint of spicy acid and salt, making him feel appetite.

"My head, the captain reported that we will be able to reach Kiel in two hours, and we will land at Ravensburg airport at about 8 am as originally planned." Disenhofen walked from the front compartment Out, followed by the attendant carrying the tea tray.

"Very good, is the residence arranged?" Xu Jun forks a piece of fried egg and finds that it tastes good when dipped in mustard sauce. It would be better if there was a laoganma.

"Everything has been arranged, we have packed the entire Star Hotel, the SS has controlled the surrounding area, and Himmler has arrived in Kiel. He looks forward to meeting you." Disenhofen directs the air crew Delivered freshly brewed green tea.

"Shimley, and Hans. It's been a long time since we last met."

"Seven years... seven years..." Weierle said to Xu Jun while chewing his white intestine. (To be continued.)
