Third Reich: I took over power

Franklin's face was very ugly. The performance of the tanks being developed by the Yingjiang National Company was not as good as that of the tanks that the Third Reich had equipped with troops on a large scale. It can be seen from this that the gap between the two sides in this aspect is huge!

This also made Franklin feel very shameless.

"The Army must speed up the pace of research and development in this regard. Since armored forces are so important in future wars. Then, we cannot be worse than the Third Reich in this field." said Franklin

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"General George Marshall replied.

In fact, throughout World War II, the Eagle Country did not have any tanks that were good. They relied more on numerical superiority to defeat the enemy. For example, the M4 tank also produced several Thousands of vehicles. Directly relying on the powerful sea of ​​tanks, the Tiger and Leopard tanks of the Third Reich were overwhelmed. Of course, the M26 heavy tanks that began mass production at the end of the war had pretty good performance. Even if they were not as good as the Tigers of the Third Reich A heavy tank, but it can also be regarded as a world-class tank.

"Apart from tanks, what is the gap between us and the Third Reich in other aspects?"Franklin asked

"Your Excellency, except for tanks. In terms of aircraft, there is also a very big gap between us and the Third Reich. The current main fighter of the Third Reich Air Force is the BF-109 fighter, with a maximum speed of more than 700 kilometers. Our current P-36 combat aircraft has a maximum speed of over 480 kilometers per hour. The new fighter jet, the P-39 fighter jet, which has just entered service in the first half of this year, has a maximum speed of only 610 kilometers per hour. Another P-40 fighter jet that has been finalized and is about to be mass-produced has a maximum speed of 580 kilometers per hour. The performance gap with the BF-109 fighter of the Third Reich is very large. What's more, the Third Reich Air Force is currently equipped with BF-109 fighters in large quantities. Moreover, according to the intelligence we have obtained, the Third Reich Air Force is about to enter service with a more advanced fighter."General Henry Arnold, commander of the Army Air Corps, said.

Franklin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Compared with the Third Reich, the gap between the Eagle Country and the Third Reich, whether in the sky or on the ground, is too big!

"We have to find a way to catch up with the Third Reich in this regard. Even more, we need to find a way to surpass the Third Reich. The performance of the Third Reich Air Force in this war was amazing. They seized air superiority early in the war. Defeated the air forces of the Gallic Kingdom and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. So much so that from the very beginning, the ground forces of the Justice League were endlessly bombarded by the Third Reich Air Force and suffered heavy losses. Even the mobilization of troops and even the transportation of supplies have become problems. Therefore, once we go to war with the Third Reich, we must not lose air supremacy!" said Franklin

"Yes, Your Excellency. We are studying and digesting the advanced aero-engine technology obtained from the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. Currently, two fighter jets are being developed, namely the P-47 fighter jet and the P-51 fighter jet. Once these two fighters enter service, we will have advanced fighters that can rival the Third Reich's BF-109 fighters."Said General Henry Arnold.

Of course, it seems that they can only set their sights on the BF-109 fighter. As for more advanced fighters, they will undoubtedly be even more powerless.

FW-The maximum speed of the 90 fighter jet reached 760 kilometers, which was enough to scare him. As for the TA-152 fighter, the maximum speed can reach more than 78 miles per hour, which has reached the pinnacle of propeller fighters.

To break the sound barrier and achieve supersonic speeds, propeller engines are obviously not enough and must rely on jet engines.

In this regard, despite the fact that both the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets and the Third Reich were developing it.

However, the Third Reich started earlier and received more support. The progress of research and development is also faster.

However, due to materials and technology, the reliability of current jet engines is very low. Coupled with factors such as short legs, it is obviously impossible to equip the army in a short time.

Hess has very high performance requirements for jet fighters. The maximum speed must exceed Mach 1, which is to break the sound barrier. At the same time, the voyage cannot be less than one thousand kilometers. Only in this way can it be applied in actual combat and not become an airport defender.

The Eagle Army Air Corps obviously doesn't know these things. Otherwise, they may become even more desperate

"Your Excellency, there is a big gap between the aircraft of the Army Air Corps and the Third Reich. The performance of the Navy's carrier-based aircraft is also much inferior to the Third Reich's carrier-based BF-109 fighter."Admiral Harold Stark, Chief of Naval Operations, also said.

Currently, the Navy's carrier-based aircraft are mainly F2A Niu fighter jets. Although this fighter jet has just entered service, its maximum speed is only 510 kilometers per hour. It is equipped with four 1.7 mm aviation machine guns.

The other main carrier-based aircraft is the F3F fighter, which replaces the old biplane carrier-based F2F fighter. Its maximum speed is only 425 kilometers per hour.

You don’t have to think about it to know , in front of the Third Reich's carrier-based BF-109 fighter, these two carrier-based aircraft were tortured so uglyly

"What about the development status of the Navy's new carrier-based aircraft?"Franklin had a great headache.

"The latest F4F fighter is already under development. It has been finalized and the development progress is being accelerated. However, in terms of performance, it is still much worse than the carrier-based BF-109 fighter of the Third Reich. The next generation of F4U fighter jets may be comparable in performance to the BF-109 fighter jets of the Third Reich. However, research and development has just begun, and it will take a long time before it can be put into service."Admiral Harold Stark is also helpless.

After all, the gap between the two sides is really too big. And the gap in scientific and technological research cannot be caught up in a short time.

"I will ask Congress to allocate a special amount of money to speed up the research and development of fighter aircraft. Whether it is a fighter aircraft of the Army Aviation Corps or a fighter aircraft of the Naval Aviation Corps, the progress of research and development must be accelerated. I hope that when we go to war with the Third Reich in the future, we will have aircraft that can fight. Our pilots don’t have to fly old airplanes to die!"Franklin said.

With no other way, they can only increase investment to improve research and development progress and catch up with the Third Reich.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"All the generals replied one after another.
