My Third Empire

Biquge www.readwn.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

It's not so much a meeting, it's better to arrange the next job. Akado asked Augustus and Merkel to fully represent the German head of state to negotiate with the Dutch royal family, fully accept the Dutch surrender, and start the aftermath.

"Let General Chief Bok take over Rotterdam and restore the Dutch ports together with Redel. These ports must be used to turn the German navy into a mobile and flexible force, rather than being trapped in Wilhelmshaven as it is now." Akado Pointing to the map, said: "The place where the Dutch royal family is housed is temporarily set in Frankfurt. A villa is arranged on the outskirts of the city, and the vigilance is very strong!"

"Now we are more concerned about the problem is that once the French Gammelin realizes that he is at risk of being surrounded, he immediately mobilizes forces from inside France to attack our A Group Army flanks." Blauchic pointed to the map.

"This is not a problem! The c group army will attack the Mackinaw line, creating the illusion of a full-scale attack by our army. The French did not realize that they were deceived so quickly, they needed time to confirm our direction of attack." Akado posed He waved his hands and said, "Now it's up to our General Lundstedt to attack Sedan with the fastest speed."

"The attack is not a problem at the moment. If Ganmalin is going south and attacking a group army with French troops, this is a big problem. Lunderstedt's situation is not very optimistic." Brahic said anxiously.

Akado smiled and pointed to some signs on the map and said: "My marshal, General Catherine has repeatedly assured that the Air Force has the ability to cause trouble for the British and French forces when they go south, so that they cannot pose a threat to the A Group Army. . "

He pointed to the northern part of the map again: "In addition, Kettle's 6th Light Armored Army and 7th Infantry Army will follow the British and French forces behind, biting them so that they will not dare to attack the A Group Army."

"Today's meeting will come here first," Akado said, and then ended the meeting: "I'm going to prepare the evening speech. I'm out of company, everyone."

"Oh! That's right!" Augustus suddenly thought of something, and smiled embarrassedly: "Old age, some forgetfulness ... I heard that the design of the helicopter has been completed, and they tested this aircraft in the suburbs of Berlin. , The effect is very good. "

Akado was stunned, and then nodded: This is good news for today, and it is worth celebrating. From the time when Akado decided to rewrite history to win his World War II, he hoped he could change the world's war system, which is his magic weapon for winning all the time. He did not dare to put the bet on the military commanders in Germany, because after all they failed once.

Therefore, Akado is very keen to develop various weapons, and is keen to use new weapons to change the historical process of war. For example, he developed the me-109 fighter for the Air Force in advance, and also produced the more mature and easy-to-use fw-190 in advance. come out.

He also vigorously developed long-range bombers, hoping to rely on the power of strategic bombers to rewrite the results of the war. In addition, the Air Force has used the super ammunition "coagulation incendiary bomb" completed under his supervision, and allowed Germany to reduce a large number of casualties in the process of breaking through the fortifications during the invasion of Poland.

In addition, he strongly eliminated the German double-row staggered load wheels, and led the German tank back to the normally suspended track. He worked hard to accumulate rubber, developed artificial rubber and expired rubber purification technology, and then used this as a basis to design and manufacture a leopard tank that is at least one generation ahead of the world.

In the navy, he put a lot of effort into it, including the folding wing structure of the carrier aircraft, the composition of the aircraft carrier fleet, the use and operation mode of the main fleet, the deployment and tactical arrangements of ocean-going submarines, it can be said that he used mature technology to reduce Enthusiastic supporters of head-on conflict.

However, as a pseudo-military fan, Akado also had many paranoia and errors. For example, he was too superstitious about the speed of attack. In order to allow his troops to advance quickly, he still did not produce cannons with a caliber of more than 150 mm in 1937.

So when he remembered the helicopter, which changed the war mode, he got several aircraft designers and asked about the feasibility of helicopter technology.

After that, Akado gave several aircraft designers the necessary hints on several very professional technical issues. For example, Germany has already carried out some helicopter verification tests, but it cannot solve the lateral stability problems caused by the propeller to the helicopter. . The tail rotor concept proposed by Akado is much more advanced than the concept of the two propellers studied earlier by the Germans.

However, with his gradual communication with technical staff, many detailed designs also caused Akado to shake his vision. A question gradually appeared in Akado's mind. The question is: Is the helicopter really good? Or is the helicopter really suitable for the stage of World War II? Akado is very confused. This confusion directly affects It was his passion for gunship helicopters.

In Akado's understanding, what is the advantage of helicopter anti-tank? To put it simply: the first point is that you can quickly reach the battlefield and carry out assaults on enemy tanks in local areas. The second point is to conduct long-range fire attacks on enemy armored targets with guided weapons such as missiles. The third point is that the advanced materials after World War II are sufficient for helicopters to withstand the threat of small-caliber ammunition.

However, when Akado and weapons experts compared their weapons during World War II, they discovered that it was suicide to make helicopter anti-tank in this era. The reasons include: lack of radar support, lack of bulletproof material reinforcement, and weapon configuration issues.

First of all, there are too many threatening weapons. This is a serious injury. Helicopters are too vulnerable to ground weapons during World War II. At this time, the army was generally equipped with small-caliber anti-aircraft weapons, including 37 or 40 mm anti-aircraft guns, and heavy machine guns with a caliber of 12.7 mm. When helicopters faced the air defense network composed of these weapons, they had no way to fight back, and the helicopters of this era had only process weapons such as machine guns and rockets. The lack of long-range suppression methods makes helicopters extremely dangerous when facing ground attacks. This one-for-one or one-for-one combat mode is obviously not conducive to the helicopter side.

Secondly, around 1937, material research has not reached the height of the 1960s. The defense of the helicopter itself is very problematic, because there is no high-quality modern materials, such as 7.92 mm and 7.62 mm caliber rifle ammunition are enough to threaten the flight safety of the helicopter, not to mention a large number of light machine guns appear on the battlefield on. Moreover, the range of most ammunition in this era is more than 1,000 meters. For hitting people, there may be a problem of exceeding the range, but it is just right to attack such a large target as a helicopter. On the other hand, helicopters, with neither radar support nor missile range extension, will undoubtedly suffer greatly.

In the end, Akado didn't realize until now that the most unlikely reason for a helicopter to appear on the front line in this era was the lack of living space. Unlike the world where jets were rampant in 1960, the mainstream fighters of this era were not very fast (relative to jets). The speed of these fighters allows these fighters to fly to a low enough level to hunt helicopters. Many times the fighters can even fly close to the ground at a height of 20-30 meters, which is an unimaginable danger for spray aircraft without excellent radar navigation height. Other attack aircraft that are in service or will be in service in the future, such as the Il-2 of the Soviet Union and the Stuttgart of Germany, can easily shoot down the newly born armed helicopters with overwhelming flight performance.

And Akado finally confirmed the basic appearance of the gunship he can get in this world, which is far from the image of the classic gunship Apache in his mind.

The flexible head turret is difficult to achieve because of recoil and power problems. The alternative is to equip each side with a fixed direction cannon. Other weapons include air force rockets and anti-tank missiles. At this stage, it is just a fantasy.

Another defect that caused people to vomit blood was undoubtedly revealed during this time period. This is that this kind of aircraft cannot be parachuted. Someone proposed to install explosives on the propellers of the aircraft and explode the propellers when parachuting. However, considering that there is no ejection seat, the helicopter's flying height of not more than 100 meters can't complete the complex skydiving movement, so this suggestion is finally lost.

Now it's just a matter of choice. In the case of Germany's lack of iron and oil, make a gorgeous weapon to fight the enemy's bayonet; or give up this crazy plan after earnest evaluation. At least in the analysis of German weapons experts and tank warfare commanders such as Guderian, helicopters lack a first-line combat environment at this stage, which is inferior to any one-line combat mission.

However, these weapons experts are very optimistic about the future of this weapon. At least three aircraft manufacturers have expressed their willingness to develop such helicopters at their own expense. These businessmen and designers who have been dealing with the battlefield for many years have keenly smelled the development prospects of this weapon, and determined that this weapon definitely has a place on the battlefield-this is an aircraft that can take off without an airport, in emergency supplies This weapon has a wide range of uses in transportation, personnel transportation, battlefield monitoring, close-range reconnaissance, and special operations.

"Since the prototype has been produced, let them seize the time to produce a helicopter that can be used in actual combat, and equip each division with two such helicopters for rapid contact and transportation of important personnel supplies." Akado finally The production plan was finalized: "But it is necessary to repeatedly test the flight to confirm the safety and reliability! Do you understand?"

"It's no problem. I will pass on the news to Krupp." Augustus nodded and said.
