1029 Two-engine and four-engine 2

The purpose or reward of the prince is not important. The only thing that makes the prince feel a little strange is that the German Emperor's rights seem to be shifting from the General Staff? After all, the German Emperor is not a professional soldier. When it comes to war, he really has to rely on professionals, which will inevitably lead to the transfer of rights.

"That's right, Your Highness." Major General Harrell said. "And more than once your Majesty has offered you as Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Western Front."

"I won't go to the Western Front." The prince shook his head. Before the East Front was settled, he did not plan to wade into the muddy waters of the Western Front again. However, since the German Emperor raised this question, the prince believed that it would be okay to open an opening in some cases.

"I think it's okay to study four-engine heavy aircraft with the most technical reserve and special purpose aircraft. Even if our 4-engine bomber is not very large in scale, it is not cost-effective if it is used for bombing alone. However, in some special environments, I think 4-engine heavy bomber can complete tasks that twin-engine bombers cannot complete. From this point of view, I think that R&D is OK, and a small amount of equipment is OK!"

The prince paused and continued, "I will write a letter to the little Moltke, including Tirpitz, General von Boer, and Albrecht, the great Duke of Württemberg. I believe they can see the importance of this project."

The prince said this with the intention. The little Moltke was loyal to the German Emperor, and Tirpitz was promoted by the German Emperor. Albrecht, the eldest Duke of Württemberg, represented a kingdom, and the prince had to show the power of the royal family and nobles in front of some German people. As for General Boer? Well, he was a big shot.

"If this is the case, that's great. I think your Majesty will be very happy," Major General Harrell said happily.

"But two points I need to make is that we must build large 4-engine bombers based on the number of fighter jets and new K-6 bombers. After all, fighter jets are our air support, and K-6 bombers can meet most of our missions." The prince emphasized at the end.

The weapons that are truly suitable for war are not necessarily the best and most expensive, but the most suitable for wartime situations and the most cost-effective weapon. This is like a tiger, but it is not as easy to use as the T34. The tiger hunter can be regarded as the strongest tank destroyer in two battles, but there is absolutely no classic cheetah and ISU100! But sometimes, fighting is like cooking. Although spices are not the main feature, there is a big gap between them and there is no.

Let me give you an example in WAR3. Dark Night Bucks beat the human race's magic witch priest. Whether there is an elf dragon is definitely two levels. By the same token, the human race 2 mixed troops fight the Dark Night Bucks, and whether there is a small cannon output is definitely different! If you don't die, you will definitely have two things. These things will not become the main force, but whether there is or not is definitely two concepts!

Or if there are wars in later generations, the number of fighters is almost the same, and whether there are early warning aircraft or electronic warfare aircraft is absolutely different. In some cases, the 4-engine aircraft will only act as a power multiplier. There may be a small number, but if there are, it can improve combat effectiveness.

For example, this aircraft can be used as a long-range patrol aircraft, with a range of up to 2,000 kilometers and is enough for the Luftwaffe to use in the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. Moreover, the upper limit is relatively high, it is strong and resistant to fighting, and even if there is no escort, it is not a big problem.

Attacks on certain transportation hubs can also be carried out when necessary. Of course, the traffic hubs worth using this level of bombers are certainly not simply destroyed by K-6 bombers. The problems that can be solved by quantity are not a problem. For example, attacking certain reinforced bunkers, and some reinforced bunkers may not be possible with train guns, but there is a chance to use heavy bombers!

The V1500 bomber set a record, which was the first to set an air force to sink a battleship! Although it was not in the war, its powerful power left an extremely deep impression! On July 21, 1921, the Americans used the V1500 bomb to carry a bomb weighing 2,000 pounds to bomb the German compensation warship Osterfrieslan (Hullgrain-class battleship)! The Americans were even more crazy later and carried 4,000 pounds of bombs for testing. The bomb craters that were blown up were called "the claw marks of the giant" by those participating in the test!

Things like big killers are generally not used, but they are really needed when necessary. For some important reinforcement support points or some deep transportation hubs, the role of strategic bombers or large bombers is reflected. As for bombing London, the prince will never consider it.

In terms of the performance of the aircraft and the level of German industry, I still want to use bombers to blow London? What do you think? Instead of consuming a lot of fuel, bombs and crew's lives, run over London and the Royal Air Force's ready to compete with the Royal Air Force, it is better to invest in the battlefield to support ground combat. If necessary, you can go over London to demonstrate, but if it is really a constant bombing, then forget it.

Strategic bombing can only be used if there is a certain gap in national strength. For example, in Germany, which was besieged by the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union in history, the combined national strength of the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union will definitely surpass Germany. However, if there is no United States, these two countries, it would be better to wash and sleep. If you don’t prepare to lose 20,000 4-round bombers, don’t want to blow Germany down! In history, Britain has only produced more than 7,000 Lancaster aircraft...

Perhaps in World War II, Germany, which was powerful enough to a certain extent, would have completed the ambitions that the Bearded and Fatty Ge in history that were not able to complete, but this is definitely not something that can be accomplished in one battle! The prince would rather use these heavy bombers as long-range reconnaissance aircraft to attack strong strongholds ultra-long-range heavy artillery, or large torpedo aircraft, and would never want to let them waste it on air strikes on London! It is foreseeable that the number of these bombers will not be too large, after all, the production of V1500 in history does not exceed 100. On the one hand, this is because the war ends, and on the other hand, it is because with the technical conditions at that time, it is not economical to do such a big thing. It is the same thing that can be created with a propeller engine, but have you seen it be eliminated without long...
