Battle of the Third Reich
Vol 5 Chapter 360: Haiphong Port (Part 2)
This aircraft is currently Germany's strongest rapid long-distance delivery tool. In the empire's plan, on the basis of this aircraft, in the future, stronger, more efficient and improved models will be developed, becoming a German intercontinental strategy. An indispensable important force. ∈↗, in this era, limited to technical constraints, countries have not yet developed the concept of strategic air transport, Xu Jun is determined to let Germany walk in front of everyone.
Bv222 still has great potential to be tapped. At this point, Blomfoss can guarantee that Xu Jun also has many special ideas to prepare for the experiment with this giant aircraft as a platform. The current performance index of this aircraft has exceeded the historical prototype. Because of the fear that the structural changes will affect the speed of finished product production, Xu Jun did not directly produce the final improved drawings, but chose to fully mature the technology. The basic standard type.
Blomford did not disappoint him, especially after learning that Xu Jun took over the position of head of state, he even put the most elite part of the company into this project. They tried to use this method to come To please the new head of state.
The company’s upper-level thinking is very clear. Most of Blomforth’s performance so far is based on the good relationship established between the company’s top management and the Hitler Nazi Party. Otherwise, there are so many old shipyards in Germany. Focus on his family.
Now that the company's future has been firmly tied to the German tanks, if you want to keep the increasingly competitive naval ship market, you must make sure that the new head of state can affirm the performance, so as to smoothly change the court. So u1001 is the case, bv222 is the case, Blomforth exhausted his mind and carefully crafted the best products, so as to prove that he really has the strength worthy of the head and the empire.
In the end, they did succeed, and they were affirmed by the head of state. Not only did they receive a large number of orders for new U-boats, but they also signed a contract with the Navy to manufacture the latest class of heavy cruiser. The technical research and development team of the new aircraft carrier. In the eyes of the company's executives, this represents a super luxury big order that can be compared with the Bismarck. Thinking about the profits involved, people can't help but covet.
The bv222 type seaplane that appeared above Haiphong was the first three of the four initial versions of Blomfoss. Directly speaking, this was a prototype, and she was sent to Asia for the purpose of carrying out A series of tests, the data obtained in actual use will affect the improvement of subsequent models.
Xu Jun believes that this type of aircraft has a very large use area in Southeast Asia. The colonial islands in the South Ocean are far apart. Many areas lack airport runways and ancillary facilities. However, these islands are surrounded by the sea, and some are empty and calm. Cobweb-like rivers, where seaplanes are the fastest and most convenient means of transportation.
What Xu Jun valued most was the amazing range and load capacity of the bv222. After the new engine was installed, the maximum speed of the aircraft was increased to 360 kilometers per hour. This transport aircraft can carry a payload of 18 tons at a time, and the space in the cabin can carry 96 fully armed soldiers or 64 stretchers.
Because of the use of new materials and structures, the aircraft's own weight has been effectively controlled, and the range has been increased accordingly to 5,600 kilometers. If it is equipped with an auxiliary fuel tank in the aircraft, it will be able to reach the limit of 7,400 kilometers. This is enough for it to fly back and forth from the east coast of the Indian Peninsula to French Indochina. If it is based in Singapore, the voyage of this aircraft can easily cover the entire South Ocean colony. If deployed to Australia, her voyage can cover the entire Southwest Pacific region. Both military and civilian use have great potential for development.
During a short stop in Mumbai, the local Royal Navy felt that this huge aircraft could take off directly from Cairo, cross the Gulf of Aden along the Red Sea and traverse the Arabian Sea. It is totally incredible, not to mention that in addition to more than 20 German officers and soldiers, this aircraft is also carrying more than 30 British and Indian military officers stranded in Cairo and five tons of locally needed medicines.
This amazing record has made the British have a strong interest in this amazing aircraft. The Royal Navy has even proposed to the German side. Their existing Sunderland seaplane is indeed very good, but in the voyage and The load is completely unpredictable. The British want to order three aircraft for trial evaluation, and directly ask the German Air Force if they can order a few of them for the British in the products they ordered earlier.
The plane took off from Mumbai, made a short stop in Singapore, unloaded some British naval personnel on the ride, and loaded a batch of supplies that the French Indochina German Task Force badly needed, as well as a group in Singapore British officers stationed in Burma after the vacation ended.
Immediately, the plane took off from Singapore, flew north along the Malay Peninsula, and finally landed outside the port of Bangkok. This was to familiarize the crew with the most important port and base in Southeast Asia. After the British officers were unloaded there, everyone rested in the Bangkok port for one night, and took off from the port in the early morning of the next day to begin the last voyage. The original planned destination was Saigon, but because the contingent had moved to Tokyo (Hanoi), the destination was changed to Haiphong Port.
Most of the time, bv222 was flying along the coastline and even directly across part of the Thai territorial sea. On the way, two Boeing 218 fighters from the Thai Air Force were also attracted. The two brightly painted birds wanted to join in at first, and waited for the Thai pilot to see the huge iron cross and the line of machine guns on the huge object. After taking the seat, I never dared to continue to get closer. After a long distance with a sneaky companion in the distance, perhaps because the voyage had reached the limit of the Boeing fighter, the other party took the initiative to retreat and the two parties were out of contact.
"The ground report channel has been emptied, sir." The radioman reported to the captain through in-flight communication.
"There is enough open water here for us to land. The only thing I am worried about is the sandbar buried underwater. This is located at the mouth of the river, and the siltation will be more serious than other places." Major Oheim left the rudder steadily with his left hand. Put the right hand on the throttle lever.
"The speed of 200 kilometers is 191,180," the co-pilot announced the parameters aloud.
"Pay attention to the height and stabilize the rudder." Major Oheim's tone seemed very relaxed. In addition to the fact that the current progress was indeed smooth, he did not want to put too much pressure on his subordinates.
"Height is five hundred and speed is one hundred and sixteen." The first officer reached out and leaned on the flap control lever.
The aircraft has reached the critical speed of landing. Under the technical conditions at that time, after this type of seaplane entered the final landing procedure, the state was almost irreversible. Looking out from the cockpit window, the slightly muddy sea surface in Haiphong Port was rushing towards the plane at speed, and the white waves stirred on the sea surface seemed to be within reach.
"Put down the flaps." The captain ordered.
"Flaps down." The co-pilot pulled the joystick quickly and then returned loudly.
"Keep speed, touch." Major Mannheim's voice didn't fall, the huge body shuddered abruptly, and all the unfixed items on the table jumped up.
The sturdy airframe began to tremble regularly, the passenger door could clearly feel a strong sense of deceleration, and the safety belt around the waist tightly tightened the body, firmly securing the crew member to the aviation seat.
Major Oheim's technology is very exquisite, the aircraft is very light and stable when entering the water, without bounce and deflection. The huge bv222 is like a speedboat, galloping fast in the channel of Haiphong Port, all the speed brakes are opened, the throttle starts to retract, the speed of the aircraft slowly declines, and after sliding a full kilometer forward, the huge The German seaplane finally stopped steadily, brushing the fuselage of dark green and gray-green camouflage, floating steadily on the calm sea outside Haiphong Port.
"It's finally here, our destination." With the help of the crew members, Captain Binz Horne opened the hatch at the rear of the fuselage. He stood at the entrance of the hatch two meters high from the water and stretched it out. The arm sucked **** the air with the smell of sea water.
"Looks like other cities, that's our boat." Captain Stauffenberg pulled out his telescope from his holster.
"Which one?" Captain Horne asked.
"It's the one with a submarine parked on the side. Alas? The group of people above is waving to us." Staufenberg held a telescope in one hand and waved the other hand out to the other party in return.
