Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Oh God! I really flew! “The test pilots are also very excited at the moment.

Fortunately, though, he hasn’t forgotten his mission.

The test pilot steered the plane towards the shooting range not far away.

“Tap-da-da!”

When the test pilot pressed the launch button, the 12.7mm aerial machine gun located in the nose began to fire fiercely, firing rows of dense tracer rounds.

Targets standing on the shooting range, beaten wood chips flying.

“Oh God! The plane was firing, it was firing from a machine gun. But wasn’t a propeller installed in the nose? Why doesn’t the bullet hit the propeller? Admiral Moltke looked shocked.

Other military bigwigs were also surprised by this problem.

Liu Chuan smiled, and then said: “We installed a shooting coordinator to ensure that when the bullet is fired, it is launched from the gap of the propeller and will not hit the propeller!” ”

This problem, in another time and space, has existed for a long time, seriously restricting the development of aircraft.

However, as a traverser, Liu Chuan is naturally very simple to solve this problem.

The military bosses nodded, seemingly understanding the question. However, just know that the problem is solved.

“Your Majesty, machine guns are installed on the aircraft, which can launch attacks on ground targets. Doesn’t that mean that it is also possible to drop bombs from airplanes? Count Tirpitz asked.

Liu Chuan nodded: “Yes, at present, this plane is only a prototype.” And, this is a fighter. As the name suggests, the main duty of a fighter is to fight the aircraft of other countries and seize air supremacy. Attacks on ground targets and personnel are nothing but incidental. Next, the aircraft manufacturer will further improve the speed and range of the aircraft, so that it can truly be used in real combat.

In addition to this, we will also study bombers, that is, aircraft that convert to load bombs and bomb ground targets. Think about it, once the empire dispatched dozens, if not hundreds, of aircraft, carrying hundreds of tons of bombs, and dropped them from the enemy’s head, what would it be like. What a blow it will inflict on the enemy! ”

The military bigwigs present shuddered when they thought of this.

The current war is mainly a plane war. Whether you fight on the ground or at sea, you fight on one plane.

But if the aircraft are used on a large scale, they will attack from the sky. That would undoubtedly extend the war into the sky. Wars will also evolve from flat wars to three-dimensional wars.

“Even with the advancement of technology, we can develop heavy bombers with a range of two or three thousand kilometers with tons of bombs. Then, we can completely dispatch a large number of heavy bombers to launch bombing of important cities, industrial bases, transportation nodes, and army assembly areas of the enemy located in the hinterland. Such a blow would be dealt a major blow to the enemy’s war potential. As a result, the enemy’s military production and military mobilization were paralyzed. If we want to win the war, it will be easier! Liu Chuan continued.

A group of military bigwigs were obviously shocked by the scene described by Liu Chuan.

They never expected that this inconspicuous toy-like thing would have such great power.

When it was hot, they also knew very well that it might take a long time to realize what Liu Chuan said, and further technological progress was needed.

However, this is undoubtedly the future development direction of aircraft, and it also allows the military bosses to see the future development direction.

“Your Majesty, aircraft is definitely an emerging weapon, and the role of future wars will become more and more. Therefore, the empire should indeed invest more money in development. Admiral Moltke Jr. was the first to speak.

General von Falkenhein, Count Tirpitz and General von Boer also echoed.

“In addition to attacking ground targets, aircraft can also attack sea targets. You can think about it, if the aircraft carries heavy aviation armor-piercing shells weighing hundreds of kilograms, or even a ton of weight, and launches an attack on a warship on the sea from a high altitude. Even a battleship will not be able to bear it. At the same time, aircraft can also carry heavy aviation torpedoes and launch attacks on warships on the sea. Once the battleship was approached by aircraft and torpedoes were dropped at a close distance, the battleship could not resist either. Liu Chuan continued.

Count Tirpitz and General von Boer were both eye-catching.

There is no doubt that this is undoubtedly a new innovation for the German Imperial Navy!

“We can even build aircraft carriers, which can be understood as a platform for aircraft to take off and land at sea. Although aircraft carriers themselves do not have too strong combat effectiveness, they can attack enemy warships by taking off carrier-based aircraft. Release carrier-based aircraft to attack hundreds of kilometers or more from the enemy, sinking the enemy’s warships! Liu Chuan informed them of another naval battle tactic.

Count Tirpitz and General Von Boer had already begun to envision that scene.
