Chapter 647 Everything is for air dominance

After Chen Yanlong issued a death order to the Gestapos, he immediately called Kesselin, who was stationed in Italy, to inquire.

"How is the situation of your troops now? Haven't they been trained yet, can they go to the battlefield?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Chen Yanlong immediately asked anxiously.

"Everything is ready, but there are still two-thirds of the recruits who cannot enter the battlefield immediately, because their training days are still too short and have not been more than a month!"

When Keseling heard that it was Chen Yanlong's voice, he immediately replied.

"It's enough to train for more than a month. The army doesn't need to train for too long. Just let them understand some basic shooting and bayonet skills! Sending them to the battlefield is the best place to train them!"

Chen Yanlong retorted.

"Yes! Head of State!"

After hearing this, Keseling nodded and agreed.

"What about the Italian troops that we control? How many of them can participate in the battle?"

Chen Yanlong continued to ask.

"There is no need for any division. After all, the other Italian soldiers who are tired of war, are unwilling to surrender, and are unwilling to continue participating in the battle, they are all removed, and there are only 7 and a half divisions left. We can mobilize them to fight!"

"Keselin replied truthfully.

"Looking for ways to win over and control this group of Italian troops, so that those who are willing to work hard can get some benefits, and brainwash them for education!"

"Because our Intelligence Department, after my capable intelligence officer Schmidt was assassinated, found out that Britain and the United States are making new military mobilizations, but they don't know what kind of combat deployment they are going to do! So I am worried that the British and American troops will launch a sudden attack on Italy and France under our control after I transferred Rommel and Guderian and others!"

Chen Yanlong also said his worries unbearable.

"Don't worry! Head of State! I will definitely deploy defense in Italy, especially in Sicily!"

"But the strength of the combat troops I have now is really not very brave to add to the strength of the combat forces. I am worried that their combat capabilities are not as powerful as those of the British and American troops!"

Keseling replied somewhat paradoxically.

"Well! I know your situation, because most of the seven German-armed divisions you have on hand are newly recruited recruits. They have not been training for two months, and the Italian troops that surrendered to us are also some combat power and lack of fighting will!"

"So I will give you new weapons and equipment as soon as possible to change the equipment, and have already dispatched General Edward Dieter, the commander of the Nordic, and their capable generals, including the commander of the 18th Mountain Infantry Army, Egerzer Mountain Infantry Army, and General Vikde Infantry Army, the commander of the 10th Infantry Army, to you and guard Italy together!"

"Their troops have a total of more than 200,000, all of which are from veterans with combat experience!"

After hearing this, Chen Yanlong immediately promised the other party.

"Thank you, the Head of State! The Head of State is wise!"

Hearing this, Kesseling immediately shouted with a smile.

"Then let's take good care of Italy and France. I need you to report the latest situation 8 times a day. I want to fully understand the latest situation in the Italian frontline area!"

"I don't want your troops to be suddenly attacked by the British and American troops, and I'm still confused!"

Chen Yanlong said in a stern tone.

"Yes! Head of State! I will definitely complete your combat mission! I will definitely ensure the safety of Italy and give you the latest military updates every day!"

After being ordered so seriously and harshly by Chen Yanlong, Keselin immediately restrained his excitement and agreed seriously.

"Okay! Don't let me down, Italy's safety depends on you!"

Chen Yanlong nodded in satisfaction and agreed.

Then the two of them chatted for a few more times before hanging up the phone.

Then Chen Yanlong fell into deep thought, because he was now thinking about whether to develop and produce jets that were more powerful than German me262 jet fighters, British and American Lancaster, and B-29 bombers in advance to catch them off guard.

For example, the supersonic fighter in the second-generation fighter is a jet fighter that uses high-altitude and high-speed interception operations and mainly attacks missiles.

It refers to the fighter jets developed from the 1950s to the 1960s, namely the US F-100 Super Saber, the Soviet MiG-19, British Lightning, the US F-8, F-11, F-102, F-104, F-105 and other models.

Because the F-100 Super Saber is a jet fighter that can use guided missiles such as AIM-9 Diamondback and AIM-7 Sparrow to conduct out-of-sight attacks, and the radar on its aircraft can also be used as standard configuration to determine enemy attack targets.

As for the German Me262 and the British "Meteor", the Soviet MiG-15, MiG-17, and the US F-80 and F-86 are all first-generation jet fighters, Chen Yanlong has lost his enthusiasm for such jet fighters that are not too mature yet.

Or he could have Kurt Tank and Lein Holden, two famous designers in the German Air Force, speed up the design of the mid-1950s Ta 183 "Crow" fighter jets and HF-24 God of Storm fighter jets.

Because Chen Yanlong knew that the aircraft engines in human history include the earliest piston type, rotor type, turbojet type, turbofan type, turboprop type, turboshaft type and propeller type; and in terms of jet propulsion method, there are also new engines such as ramjet engines (mainly used for missiles and target machines), pulse jet engines, turbo/ramjet engines and other new engines.

For example, the first generation of aircraft engines, which are well-known on the Internet in later generations, appeared in the 1950s, represented by the Conway engine in the United Kingdom and the JT3D engine in the United States.

The second generation of aircraft engines appeared in the 1960s, represented by the British Spey MK202 and the American TF30 engine.

The third-generation aircraft engine appeared in the 1970s and 1980s, represented by the F100, F110, F404 in the United States, RBl99, M88-3 in Europe, and RD-33 and AL-31F engines in the Soviet Union.

The fourth-generation aircraft engine that appeared in the 1990s was represented by the F119 in the United States and the EJ200 in Europe.

Finally, in the early 21st century, the fifth-generation aircraft engine appeared, represented by the F135 engine of the United States and the F136 engine jointly developed by the United Kingdom and the United States.

The fifth-generation fighter jets in later generations, such as the F-22 and F-35 produced by Lockheed Martin, and the J-20 fighter jets produced by China Aviation Industry Corporation, are all made of the turbofan engine series.

Of course, during World War II, Kurt Tank, Lein Holden and other Luftwaffe designers came to design and develop the turbofan engine. It is not realistic to design and develop the turbofan engine.

Of course, Chen Yanlong, who came from the 21st century, certainly hopes that the German army's future engine reference direction is to explore and research the turbofan engine.

The most important development direction must also reach the core engine technical level of the CFM56 aircraft engine in the United States in 1982, or the turbofan-15 engine.

Because aviation engines are called the "heart" of fighter jets, developing fighter jets requires the development of corresponding engines simultaneously. Otherwise, it would be just empty talk to create advanced aviation aircraft.

Therefore, in order to face the increasingly unpredictable future trend, Chen Yanlong felt at this moment that he should produce more advanced jets as soon as possible to control German airspace, and even the air supremacy of the entire European airspace. If he did not lose air supremacy, he would be subjected to a floor-style strategic bombardment by a large number of long-range bombers from Britain and the United States as in the original history, causing the German army's industrial equipment and military facilities to suffer large-scale serious losses and gradually decline.

"We must protect the air supremacy of Europe, and at least we must protect the air supremacy of Germany!"

After a long time, Chen Yanlong's eyes were extremely sharp and determined.
