Chapter II The Second Aviation Armament Rearmament Case (Part 2)

ps: There is still an error, and it will be modified later.`

Now the big head of the body order is obviously Wolf Company has settled (the rest of the companies can obtain authorized production), but the motivation order is obviously very jealous.

"Dear Yuan, although the subsequent exhibition of the BF-1o9 series has encountered some bottlenecks, our company has not done nothing. Can we consider placing an order after reading our latest design?" Dr. Messer Schmidt interjected in a plain but unwilling tone.

"Of course, Doctor, this is just a plan, things are not finalized yet, and you can speak freely."

"First, we improved and improved the bf-219 project."

After multiple rounds of test flights and wind tunnel verification on the front line, Messer Schmitt Company launched the modified Zero fighter into the BF-217. Compared with the original model, this upgraded and improved version has little overall change except for the wingspan and captain, but the optimized maximum is increased to 629 km/h (the carrier-based aircraft has more landing equipment and heavier weight, so it is only 615 km/h). Although it is not as high as 670 km/h for the current BF-1o9g series, the short leg disease has been cured, and the range without hanging the secondary fuel tank has completely passed 15oo.

kilometer. This time, the Blitzkrieg of Gent-Lar was practically endorsed by a newer model in the Blitzkrieg over the Don River. He completely swung the flexibility and durability of this aircraft. All the flight top players who have passed the test flight insisted on the same view. On the current Eastern Front battlefield, no Soviet aircraft, including the latest La5, was its opponent. The naval aviation representative of Richthofen also believed that the value of the BF-219 was far greater than that of the BF-1O9t. If the maximum degree could be faster, it would be an almost perfect carrier-based fighter.

BMW has also seen the potential of this aircraft and has been carrying out a series of advanced transformations for this model of motivation: including changing the carburetor to direct injection in the cylinder, considering adding mechanical supercharger. Although the German turbocharger technology has not passed, mechanical supercharger is very stable. They are optimistic that the horsepower of the new motivation will increase to 17 oo horses under the premise of gaining weight of only 1 oo kg, and it is expected that the degree will be convenient to exceed 67 kilometers per hour (around 66 kilometers of carrier-based aircraft).`

Under the current situation, the Air Force's tactical guiding ideology has also begun to change: prepare for layered operations, considering giving full play to the BF-219 to perform medium and low altitude combat and escort tasks below 45oo meters. Intercept, assault and BZ tactics above 45oo meters are handed over to the F-19o to perform. The biggest victim of this new strategy is BF-1o9 - it turns out that bf-1o9, which seems to have balanced abilities in all aspects and can do anything, suddenly lost the market, and its short-legged characteristics are exposed more obviously. Although Dr. Messer-Chmidt introduced the characteristics of BF-219, his face has always been not very good-looking.

Before this meeting, Messerchmitt specially arranged a series of BF-1O9H series of high-altitude performance in response to the threat of British and American heavy bombers, but with the F-19od plan, the BF-1O9H cannot compete with Dr. Tan Ke's new design, regardless of the data or opening time. In this way, this improved model of the high-altitude model was completely reimbursed before it even stepped down from the drawing board.

However, Dr. Messer-Chmitt did not completely give up resistance. He introduced: "When using Japanese technology to produce aircraft, we also used 5o Alan metal to conduct research and verification of new body materials - this metal has added nickel and magnesium components compared with the commonly used aviation dora aluminum in the empire. Its advantages and disadvantages are very prominent. It has higher strength under the premise of consistent weight, but is more likely to catch fire. I tried to use this characteristic to re-produce the entire bf-1o9 machine and got a brand new modification."

He quickly took out the newly modified BF-1o9i, which reduced the overall weight by more than 24o kilograms compared to the G series, and then increased the fuel tank to a scale of 7ool. Through wind tunnel experiments, he made a lot of appearance adjustments, and even the size of the rivets was adjusted. 8 Novels `However, the weight reduction measures taken by the doctor were different from those of Japanese ideas. Because he was not constrained by the motivational power, he did not simply use hole punches to reduce weight, but put a lot of effort into the refinement and strengthening of the support structure, and the overall structural strength still retained its original level.

Hoffman asked: "Since this new metal is very useful and the formula was also transferred by the Empire to Japan and improved by it, why don't we use it ourselves."

Sper smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that we don't want to use it. The biggest key is that the empire lacks nickel resources. Therefore, we used to use nickel aluminum alloys for aircraft. The remaining nickel resources were concentrated for tank armor and warship armor."

"So that's it." Everyone at the congregation expressed their understanding.

Hoffman smiled and said, "That shouldn't be a problem now, right? After the Finnish nickel ore is mined, we will have enough nickel resources."

In the last round of resource development plan, Hoffman disclosed the Finnish Kotarati nickel belt to Sperer, and formed a consensus with the Finnish government that Germany invested fully in mining machinery and arranged enough Polish labor for mining. The Finns were responsible for daily management and obtained half of the results. Germany could purchase the remaining part from Finland at a 20% discount on the market price.

"It's totally OK, but the mine will not be mass-produced until June next year." Speer thought for a while and said, "The Japanese will give us 1oo tons of nickel, which can almost produce about 8oo tons of new metal alloys. Can you consider it as a body material - at least Henkel's he-218 must be made of this material."

"Yes." Hoffman made a decision on the spot, "This metal can be used in new aircraft, including Dr. Tan Ke's model."

“What about the bf-1o9i series?”

In fact, although this is marked with the i, in addition to its appearance, it is actually a redesigned aircraft, with the main support, components and even rivets made of special slim versions (same strength to reduce weight). Dr. Messerchmitt is completely unsure.

Hoffmann fell into deep thought: the status of the BF-1o9 is very embarrassing, because the tactical use has undergone fundamental changes, and the positioning of this meritorious aircraft, which was launched in the 30s, was shaken. Its high-altitude capabilities are not as good as the F-19o series, and low-altitude capabilities are not as good as the BF-219 series. Although it seems that all responsibilities such as interception, escort, and low-altitude conflict can be assumed, obviously none is the best. The only advantage is that the technology is mature, the production labor hours are low, and the pilots are also more skilled in operation. Of course, after the doctor's magic modification, the new model can effectively exert its strengths, but this is almost equivalent to a brand new design, molds, production lines, and special equipment that almost all have to be updated, and the advantages of production labor hours and low cost will no longer exist immediately.

This is a difficult decision. Sperl pondered for a long time, and finally turned his inquiring eyes to Hoffman. Mercedes-Benz was very nervous. Less than 2 BF-1o9 aircraft means a business with less than 3 motives.

"Continue to cut the orders of BF-1o9, and freeze the subsequent modifications of the model, and maintain the overall design on the G model. In 1943, the production task of about 3ooo racks can be considered, and the reduced quantity can be transferred to the order volume of BF-219." Hoffman explained, "We need to have better aircraft, but our allies are still using inferior products. Their air force is not large in size and cannot be equipped with a large number of air forces like us. The aircraft can be promoted to them. Italians, Romanians, and Hungarians will definitely be very happy to accept it. Because of the low production cost, we can exchange other positions needed by these countries for war.
