Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Heinrich Heinkel graduated from Stuart Polytechnic in 1911, and in the same year he trial-produced an improved Falman biplane.

During the world wars, Heinkel served as an engineer and technical consultant for several European companies and was famous for designing military aircraft.

In 1922, Heinkel established an aircraft factory to develop and produce various bombers, passenger planes and seaplanes.

Heinkel actually did not attach much importance to cooperation with the Japanese. The He70 dive bomber was an outdated aircraft model. What Heinkel is currently developing is the "HE-177 heavy bomber", the famous German Air Force lighter.

.

The reason for this humiliating nickname is that due to the unreasonable design of the HE-177, the engine is easily hit and catches fire, so the HE-177 is also known as the "burning coffin."

Such a bad design is not actually Heinkel's problem. Ernst Udet, the director of the German Aviation Technology Bureau, believed that bombers without dive bombing capabilities were not worth producing at all, so this was the reason for such a bizarre design.

Think about a dive bomber with an empty weight of 16,800 kilograms. Even if it is handed over to Nyasaland Air, Nyasaland Air cannot handle it.

The heavy bombers in Southern Africa are used to carry out strategic bombing missions. They provide ground support with more agile ground attack aircraft and fighter bombers. The HE-177 has a wing area of ​​102 square meters. Even if it is made of metal, it is mostly

It cannot withstand the intensive attack of anti-aircraft firepower.

However, this is what the German Aviation Technology Agency requires, and Heinkel can't do anything about it.

Moreover, the funds provided by the German Aviation Technology Agency were insufficient, so Heinkel had to monetize the related technologies of the HE70, which made Siegfried Gantt, who was specifically responsible, very helpless.

Siegfried Gantt was Heinkel's chief assistant and an equally experienced bomber design expert. Gantt was very dissatisfied with the conditions offered by the Japanese. Although the technology of the HE70 was already lagging behind, it was not suitable for the Japanese.

It is said that it is still the most advanced technology.

"Compared with the bombers in Southern Africa, the HE70 - roughly how many percent is it equivalent to the heavy bombers in Southern Africa?" Göring did not even ask whether the HE70 could be comparable to the heavy bombers in Southern Africa. This was an insult to himself.

"It's hard to say, after all, the HE70 has never participated in actual combat-" Gant would be humiliating himself if he didn't answer directly.

"Haha——" Göring sneered. The hard work that the technicians were proud of was meaningless persistence to Göring.

What's there to hold on to? No matter how powerful the HE70 is, it's still not as powerful as the HE177 that Heinkel is working on, and it's even less powerful than the Southern African heavy bomber, so it's better to sell the technology to the Japanese.

"The price offered by the Japanese is too low. We can definitely strive for greater benefits." Gant was unwilling to give in. The former air combat hero has turned into a pot-bellied official. If you really want to obtain aircraft carrier technology, it is better to go to southern Africa.

make a deal.

For Britain's sake, Southern Africa should not reject Germany.

"I said, the HE70 is an outdated technology. What we need now is an aircraft carrier!" Goering's eagerness for aircraft carriers was something Gant could not understand.

Göring's understanding of aircraft carriers may be deeper than Yamamoto's.

During the World War, the German Navy suffered losses from the "Elizabeth" class aircraft carrier. After Goering became the commander of the German Air Force, he made the development of aircraft carriers Germany's top priority. However, neither southern Africa nor European and American countries would regard aircraft carriers as relevant.

Technology transfer to Germany, Japan is the only way for Germany to obtain aircraft carrier-related technology.

Even if the Japanese "Akagi" is just like that, it is still what Germany urgently needs now.

Gant had no choice but to go to a bar near the German Embassy for a drink.

Everyone gets drunk without being drunk. Gant, who was used to drinking German dark beer, was still not used to the violent southern African potato vodka. After two glasses of wine, Gant was already drunk.

"The only thing in life you can't live up to is love and good wine -" A middle-aged man took the initiative to chat with Gant while holding a wine glass. Different people have different understandings of this sentence.

"Haha——" Gant sneered. He was not here to hunt for beauty, but to drink to relieve his sorrows.

Gant's greatest ideal was to design a German heavy bomber that could compete with the heavy bombers in Southern Africa to protect Germany's skies.

"Let me meet you, my name is Tom, Tom Francis, American -" Tom took the initiative to extend his hand to Gant.

"Hello, my name is Siegfried Gant, I'm from Germany -" Gant shook hands with Tom, his expression unhappy.

Germans have very complicated feelings towards Americans.

Especially Americans with the surname "Francis".

As one of the few countries willing to provide aid to Germany after the World War, the United States also caused great harm to Germany during the World War.

If Tom were from southern Africa, Gant would be happy to chat with Tom.

Forget about the Americans, Tom will never forget the atrocities committed by the US military when they were stationed on the Rhine River.

"I heard that Heinkel Company is looking for more funds. Have you considered the United States?" Tom has a clear goal and is also here for Heinkel Company's technology.

Gant smiled and said nothing. Japan needs Heinkel's bomber technology, and so does the United States.

You may not believe it, but the technology of Americans in manufacturing aircraft is inferior to that of Germany, which has just started.

This is thanks to Southern African airlines taking a beating on U.S. airlines.

It is very difficult for American aviation companies to survive. Lockheed was acquired by Nyasaland Airlines not long after its establishment. When Boeing was founded, it was jointly attacked by Southern African aviation companies and Lockheed. In the end, Boeing had to

Abandoned aircraft manufacturing and transformed into a purely civil aviation company.

So now there is not even a decent aircraft factory in the United States, otherwise the performance of the "Cerberus" would not be inferior to even the "Tornado".

The Americans must also be concerned about the German bomber technology. Germany is unable to develop heavy bombers, but the United States has no shortage of resources.

What's more, the United States must also have the things that southern Africa has, so who are you looking down on?

"If you are willing, we can have a good chat. We in the United States also have the aircraft carrier technology you need, and it is better than the Japanese." Tom has a winning chance. The "Yorktown" of the United States is the "Elizabeth". This is now

The Germans and Japanese probably don’t know it yet.

However, this secret may not be kept for long. The Japanese "Akagi" and the American "Ranger" both have rectangular decks, while the "Elizabeth" has an angled deck. In terms of deck size, the "Akagi" hull is 29 meters wide.

The flight deck is only 30.5 meters, while the "Elizabeth" hull is 30 meters, but the flight deck is fully 48 meters wide. There is a huge gap.

The most advanced "Island" class aircraft carrier in southern Africa has a flight deck width of 58 meters, which is basically the ultimate in the 30,000-ton level.

"Are you talking about Lexington?" Gant's words almost caused Tom to break through.

That's right, no matter how hard you Americans brag, wouldn't the "Lexington" still be sunk in Brazil?

It is said that "Lexington" is also the first and only aircraft carrier in history to be sunk in battle. This will be a stain that Americans will never be able to get rid of.

"No, no, no, do you know the Ranger? That is the most advanced aircraft carrier in the United States." Tom remained calm, preparing to use information about the "Ranger" to fool the Germans.

Rangers--

Not as good as Akagi.

Gant was noncommittal. He did not have the power to make a decision. Göring did not have the power to make a decision whether to allow Americans to participate.

Just when Goering reported to the German mainland, Arthur and Angel already knew the relevant situation.

This is not surprising. How could Americans stay out of such a big event as the London Naval Conference?

There have been a lot of contacts between the US delegation and the Southern African delegation in the past few days, but the content of the exchange is definitely not disarmament, but the Brazilian Civil War.

The new Brazilian government has begun to launch an attack on St. Louis, and the forward has approached Santa Rosa, near St. Louis, which is less than 200 kilometers away from St. Louis.

Washington has sent a signal to Rio that it hopes the new government will temporarily halt its offensive.

Vargas has completely turned to southern Africa and will definitely not accept this suggestion. The Americans need time to train the army, time to build new warships, and time to stabilize the defense line. Everything takes time.

The new government only needs to push forward all the way. During this period, more and more states have expressed support for the new government. Only three states have not yet expressed their final stance. Brazil can say that the overall situation has been decided. The new government will not leave anything for the US-Brazil coalition forces.

Breathing time.

So after going round and round, the U.S. delegation took the initiative to contact the Southern African delegation. The United States still has not given up completely, but before counterattacking, the U.S. government needs a decent reason to withdraw from Brazil.

Even if the United States were to return to Brazil, it would probably be next year or the year after that at the earliest.

"Is it possible for the United States, Germany, and Japan to unite?" This is the question that worries Arthur most.

"Until the final result is settled, everything is possible." Angel is not sure. If the United States, Germany and Japan join forces, Southern Africa will not be afraid. The one who is most worried should be the United Kingdom.

The current situation in the Old World is complicated. Even if the war situation is unfavorable, Southern Africa can withdraw and regroup.

The British Empire is in dire straits, and the British Isles will probably not be able to withstand the joint attack of the United States and Germany.

But it’s not necessarily true. The Royal Navy is still very powerful, and with the help of southern Africa, it is still possible to defend the English Channel.

But in that case, the war will definitely be protracted and may not end within three to five years.

"No!" Yang Smuts, who had just arrived in London, was very sure.

"Why?" Arthur and An Qi haven't figured it out yet.

"The Brazilian Civil War has taught the United States enough lessons. Just like General Angel said just now, Americans will not easily choose sides again before everything is settled." Yang Smozi has an elder in his family, an American.

The position is a joke.
