From "Strong Wind" to "Squally Wind" and then to "High Wind", fighter aircraft are no longer an era where one or two geniuses can lead the era with a flash of inspiration, but a systematic project that requires the cooperation of multiple departments and long-term research and development.

It seems that the importance of an individual is declining, but in fact an experienced leader can still play an extremely huge role. After a chief designer like Heydrich returns to Germany, German aircraft technology will immediately improve.

one level.

If you have the technology, you may not necessarily be able to create it.

Aviation engines have very strict requirements for materials. Nyasaland Airlines’ latest aircraft engine has been unable to be replaced because the materials are not up to standard. In the past few years, Germany imported a batch of aircraft engines from southern Africa.

, it is said that even if you want to copycat the village, you will not be able to copy it.

As the chief designer of the Tornado, Heydrich has a very high status at Nyasaland Airlines.

Since Heydrich submitted his application to return to Germany, persuasion came one after another from Nyasaland Airlines, the Nyasaland state government, and even the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa.

Heydrich had a firm attitude. He would rather give up the good life in southern Africa and hope to return to Germany and use his knowledge to help the German aviation industry. For this reason, Heydrich even did not hesitate to fall out with some of his old friends.

"If you want to help the German aviation industry, then staying at Nyasaland Airlines will play a greater role. This will be more beneficial to the German aviation industry than returning to Germany alone." Chief Engineer of Nyasaland Airlines, also

Miller, who is from Germany, is very sincere.

Miller, like Heydrich, immigrated to southern Africa with his family before the outbreak of the World War and has settled in southern Africa for more than 20 years.

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about Anne and the children. Do you want Anne and the children to return to Germany with you? You should know what consequences that will lead to. Europe is becoming more and more dangerous now.

"Everyone else is trying to escape Germany and Europe, but you want to go back. This is not a responsible attitude." Richter, Heydrich's former colleague who has now gone to work for Rhodesian Airlines, was moved.

Derich has two sons and three daughters. Except for the youngest daughter, they are all married, and the eldest grandson is about to go to school.

"If the aviation hero wants a drawing of the Tornado, just draw one for him. Why do you have to return to Germany?" Heydrich's best friend and assistant, "Tornado"

"The deputy chief designer of fighter jets, Friedrich from England, has an irritable personality.

Friedrich is half-German, which is normal in Britain.

The "hero of aviation" mentioned by Friedrich was Göring.

The last time Goering came to southern Africa, he visited Heydrich. At that time, Goering showed his solicitation to Heydrich and Friedrich. Friedrich directly refused. He could donate to the revival of Germany.

, but was unwilling to tie his wealth and life to the rejuvenation of Germany.

Heydrich was a pure German. What Goering said to Heydrich was like planting a seed in Heydrich's heart. After knowing that Germany was beginning to revive, that seed has now taken root and spoken.

Become a towering tree.

"Even if I return to Germany, I will not draw the drawings of 'Gust'. I still have this sense of integrity." Heydrich grew up and received education in southern Africa. He was deeply influenced by southern Africa.

Africa was Heydrich's second home. Heydrich hoped that Germany would be revived, but this would not harm the interests of southern Africa.

Of course, this is just Heydrich's wishful thinking. He must not have thought about it now. If a world war breaks out again and southern Africa and Germany belong to different camps, what should he do then?

"Then what's the point of going back? You don't want to redesign a brand-new fighter jet, do you? It's not twenty years ago anymore!" Miller, as the chief engineer, must know how complicated it is to design a brand-new fighter jet.

complex.

Heydrich didn't speak, and his expression seemed unconvinced.

Miller suddenly remembered something.

Compared with the "Gust", the "Haifeng" is almost a brand-new fighter, with greatly improved design ideas and performance.

Fighter modification is a complex project. Generally, existing models are improved. Only when improvements are no longer possible will the design of a new model be considered.

Heydrich is the chief designer of the "Forest". When deciding on the new model, Heydrich upgraded the "Forest". Although he also applied a variety of the most advanced technologies, he was still faced with the new "Forest".

Being defeated made Heydrich very unwilling.

This is a large part of the reason why Heydrich wanted to return to Germany.

Since Southern Africa no longer needs Heydrich's technology, why didn't Heydrich return to Germany to show off his talents?

"The 'Haste' you designed has also been recognized by the Ministry of Defense. The Ministry of National Defense has decided to sell the 'Haye' you designed as an export model. In fact, you should also know that the 'Haye' series has not been improved much so far.

Space, if we want to ensure our advantage in fighter aircraft, we must accept the pain caused by the change." Miller is the chief designer of the Hayate. As a brand-new design, the performance of the Hayate designed by Miller's team is not enough.

Stable, there were major accidents that caused aircraft crashes and fatalities during the test flight. The "Wind" technology designed by Heydrich's team was mature, and the two versions were finally sent to Pretoria, and after Roque's review, they were finally finalized.

Don’t be afraid of unstable performance. If problems are exposed during test flights, you can make improvements to address them. Ultimately, the Southern African Air Force can get a fighter jet with better performance and room for improvement.

Following the previous design ideas, the performance is stable, but it also loses room for improvement. We will still have to go through this process in the future, and the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain.

"Who said that the 'Wind' series has lost room for improvement? As long as new technologies continue to emerge, the 'Wind' series can continue to be brilliant." Heydrich took action, and "Wind" has become a part of Heydrich's heart.

The root thorn makes me feel a dull pain just thinking about it.

"How is it possible -" Miller didn't want to argue with Heydrich on this issue. Heydrich was a bit over the top right now.

The key is that the needs are different. The idea of ​​​​Heydrich's new fighter is to be more agile, faster, and have better low-altitude hovering capabilities, so that it can have greater advantages in low-altitude dogfights.

Miller's idea is to have a longer range, more bomb load, stronger survivability, and better climb and dive, which requires higher strength of the fuselage structure, and the aircraft will be larger and heavier.

In short, the ideas are different and the results are completely different.

"Well, there is no need for you to argue about this issue. If Germany needs the 'Hast Wind', then we can sell the export version of the 'Hast Wind' directly to Berlin. Wouldn't this also solve the problem?" Friedrich wanted to retain Haidli.

Hope at all costs.

Although the "Hast" designed by Heydrich's team was eliminated in the competition of the Ministry of Defense, it is still a very good fighter and is still unattainable in European and American countries.

Based on Germany's capabilities, even if the blueprints of "Hast Wind" were given to the Germans, it is estimated that the Germans would not be able to build "Hast Wind", so buying it is the most convenient way.

"William, you are an Englishman, you don't understand my mood!" Heydrich was in pain. I am afraid that no one except Rock could understand his mood.

Today's Germany can be considered poor and weak.

Think of Germany when it won the Franco-Prussian War, and then think of Germany when it was subject to various restrictions in the Treaty of Versailles.

Heydrich didn't care whether the Treaty of Versailles was just or not, he was a German and that was enough.

"I'm not an Englishman. I'm a southern African just like you!" Friedrich emphasized that the Anglo-Saxons were actually a branch of the Germanic people. The Germanic people were together with the Celts and Slavs during the Roman Empire.

The Romans are collectively known as the three major barbarian tribes in Europe.

"But I am always German -" Heydrich insisted, but his voice was much lower.

Heydrich did not deny that he was a southern African. When he decided to return to Germany, he must have felt guilty about southern Africa. This feeling was very complicated.

Friedrich was furious, and his red face fully reflected his mood.

"Okay William, we have to give Klaus some time to think for himself -" Miller stopped the furious Friedrich, not wanting the differences to intensify into conflicts: "-Klaus, when it's time to make a decision

, think about Anne and the children, no matter what, we are your friends and will firmly support you."

Heydrich pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. For him, the price to pay to return to Germany was indeed too high.

When leaving Heydrich's house, Miller sensitively noticed a black car on the other side of the street.

As the chief designer of the "Wind", Miller is still very familiar with the security departments of Southern Africa. After all, people like Miller are too important and need to deal with the security departments all year round.

With an angry expression on Miller's face, he strode over and slammed the car door with his elbow.

"Are you crazy? What are you doing?" The secret agent in the car still pretended to be stupid and didn't know Miller.

"I'm warning you, stay away from this house. Klaus Heydrich is still the chief architect of Nyasaland Airlines!" Miller was furious. Heydrich just wanted to pursue his dream and was not treasonous.

.

The young secret agent said nothing and secretly glanced at the middle-aged detective in the passenger seat.

The detective's hat was lowered so low that it almost covered his entire face. He sighed and made a gesture. The young detective smiled awkwardly at Miller and immediately started the car.

ps: It’s the end of the month again. Brothers, I got up at three o’clock this morning to code. I can code as much as I can. I’m going to celebrate the old man’s birthday at noon——
