ps: Double monthly tickets are here, I'm begging for next month's ticket...

Unlike Comet, a Japanese illegitimate child, who was easily adopted and had a brilliant performance, the Tianshan ship attack received by Junckers is much more troublesome and it is much more tiring to solve it. First of all, the power of the original "protective" engine in Japan is not enough. The actual improvement effect produced by BMW according to Japanese drawings is very weak, so the engine can only be considered. The power of the equivalent BMW801 in Germany is almost the same level (the weight is more than 10 kilograms lighter, which can be almost negligible). However, the stability and failure-free time of the BMW801 are much stronger than "protective", so BMW

The company believes that "protecting" this engine has no future, so it refuses to spend more effort to study it (now in addition to its own follow-up development plan, BMW also has a variety of engines such as R-2800 and Rong to study, but it really has no energy). Although Mercedes-Benz has put forward an olive branch of the DB series, Junx's own Jut 213 series has not yet been settled. Moreover, the overall aerodynamic structure of the aircraft has to be changed with the liquid-cooled engine. In the end, Junx still decided to use BMW801D. Based on this premise, Junx's idea of ​​solving the take-off of Tianshan is two: first spray water, second ejection.

After installing the engine with a mw-50 water-methanol fuel injection acceleration system, the engine power can be briefly increased by 200 horsepower during takeoff, which is enough to deal with departure - fortunately, the cross-section of the bmw801 engine is smaller than the "guard". Although the length is a little longer, it is relatively easy to install after slight modification. The modification task after the wind tunnel is not heavy.

As for the second road, another big pit, the Tianshan ship attacked the bomb, a big guy weighing 5 tons. It was heavier than the ju-87c. The corresponding aircraft carrier catapult was not available in Japan, but Germany had it, but the structural strength of Tianshan was far less than that of the ju-87. Every time it ejected, he was very careful to cause irrecoverable damage to the fuselage. Junckers gave up after testing it a few times. Only after contacting this matter, the senior management of German HNA understood why the US carrier-based aircraft always looked so clumsy. However, Japanese aircraft looked much lighter, and this is the secret.

With the advancement of hair replacement, the second problem raised by Japan also solved: the hanger in Tianshan was very strange when carrying torpedoes, not on the center line of the belly but on the right 30 cm, in order to avoid the oil cooler on the left side of the head, which will cause the center of gravity to be unbalanced and is also one of the reasons why it is difficult to take off. Finally, Junckers took advantage of the opportunity to change the bmw801d to change it to the center line mounting, which also improved Tianshan's takeoff ability.

According to the new design and adjustment, Tianshan can finally fly according to Japanese technical specifications. The maximum speed is slightly higher than the original, reaching 492 km/h, but due to the addition of mw801d, the fuel consumption is greater than the original "guarding" engine. The maximum range drops from 1745 km to 1600 km.

The Japanese side was very happy about this. From their perspective, they believed that Junckers had solved all problems successfully, which was much better than the comet's result, which was simply perfect. However, Junckers felt that he had spent a lot of effort but had little effect. This 5-ton dinosaur and Ju-87c were of the same level, and the speed was faster (after replacing the latest model Ju-Touch 213 engine. The maximum speed of Ju-87c could only reach 440 kilometers hours), but Ju-87c was obviously stronger and more difficult. If you take a step back, even if the project was successfully replaced, it would be the share of Ju-87c, and the production line had to be arranged separately. From an economic perspective, it was not cost-effective, so you didn't expect orders at all. You only asked the Ministry of Military Affairs to provide some compensation for the company's labor and efforts at the meeting.

But Sper said with a smile: "The Japanese Navy is very satisfied with your work, and it is impossible to ask for funds. Yesterday they sent a batch of drawings, hoping that we will help improve. One of the aircraft's preferred targets indicates that your company will take over."

“What is it?”

"Meteor, the drawings of the meteor converted to a carrier-based torpedo bomber."

"This..." The representatives of Junckers company suddenly became squeamish. They really didn't want to take on such thankless things. It would be better to improve ju-88 and ju-87 if they had the skills.

But Sperer's next sentence immediately made him excited: "After this kind of meteor-based carrier-based aircraft is successful, I want 1,000-1,500 aircraft. In addition, the head of state also agreed to place an order of 400 aircraft for the ju-290 modification."

The breathing of Junkers representatives suddenly became thicker. After the ju-52 transport aircraft market was stolen by the ar-232, the company was heartbroken and focused most of its energy on the new heavy transport aircraft, the ju-290, hoping to reverse the decline. In terms of profit, a ju-290 can compare to the cross Stuka. Facing the naked carrot in the hands of the Minister of Arms, he obviously had no resistance, so he could only grit his teeth and say: "Okay, we have taken this project!"

It was Henkel's turn to be jealous, and he immediately jumped up: "We have experience in improving Japanese aircraft! Aichi's wing stamping technology is still learned from us, so why don't we handle this project? We don't need the Ministry of Military Affairs to give us funds or compensation, we need orders."

A burst of laughter suddenly sounded at the meeting, and even Dr. Messer-Schmidt, who was not very interested, laughed.

The order quantity was actually informed by Hoffmann at Spelle. The latter actually did not understand why the head of state had such great confidence in this model. However, given that Hoffmann had always had a very accurate vision and that the naval aviation indeed needed high-performance torpedo aircraft, he accepted it and prepared a transport aircraft gift package in order to lure Junckers to agree easily - this was also what Hoffman agreed to.

Faced with Henkel's struggle, the representative of Junkers glared at him, and sparks almost sparked in his eyes - Spel now knows Hoffman's intention and must make them compete with each other. However, the scene should not be too stiff. He laughed and smoothed out: "Your company has other tasks. The head of state appreciates the he-219 night fighter jets. Considering that the air defense mission is very serious, I hope to see mass production aircraft before March next year, and the order quantity is also 1,000."

Whether it is night fighter jets or carrier-based torpedo aircraft, although they are small orders, the profit will not be too small. When hearing the news that the He-219 project was officially approved, Chief Expert Dr. Henkel waved his fists excitedly and looked at the representative of the Aladdas Company. The company's A-240 and Messerchmitt's me-410 are also competing for this project. Now it seems that he is obviously the first.

Dr. Messerchmit could only shake his head and smile bitterly. After the bf-109, the descendants of the bf-110 seem to be over. The me-163 rocket interceptor technology was transferred to Japan. Now the only new models that Messerchmitt can count on are the bf-219 and me-262. There is also a little more me-323 series transport aircraft orders. The market influence is not as good as before. He is thinking about the direction of breakthrough.

"After review, experts from the Ministry of Arms believe that the HS-129 attack aircraft project submitted by Henschel Company is highly consistent with the Junkers ju-87g project, and the production line is better. Considering the problem of equipment uniformity, the Army recommends that only one type be used and finally select Ju-87g." With Sperer's final decision, Junkers' representative was proud, while Henschel Company's representative was sad. After losing the order for the Tiger tank, Henschel lost another time on the ground attack aircraft.

The encounter of Aladao Company was slightly better than Henschel. Sperer finally gave an order for 100 water reconnaissance aircraft. The drawings were made of Japanese Zero Water Reconnaissance, which was used to replace the company's old model Ar-196. Speaking of which, many of the seaplanes were introduced by Japan from Germany after World War I. However, 20 years later, Japan has become the first in the world in this field. Both the design categories and the depth of R&D are far superior to those of German colleagues. Japan originally gave a large pit for Type 2 water war to arm Japan's unique submarine aircraft carriers. Submarine parties such as Denitz were very interested in this, but Japan has a technical reserve of super-large submarines, and the largest German submarine is only more than 1,000 tons. Sperer felt that it was unreliable, so he put it on hold for the time being.

"In addition, we inform all manufacturers of good news. Since the source of tungsten supply has been basically resolved, the Army decided to stop the production of 37mm anti-tank gun tungsten-core armor-piercing shells, so the mg151/20mm cannon can be equipped with tungsten-core armor-piercing shells. Except for special aircraft models for heavy bombers, other fighters do not have to force the installation of 30mm cannons." Although the mk108 that has been put into use is very popular because of its huge power, it is also very difficult to deal with fast targets such as fighters due to its low ballistics. Forcibly installing 30mm cannons has also destroyed the aerodynamic layout of many aircraft. At Hoffman's suggestion, the Ministry of Armed Forces relaxed relevant requirements.

Of course, this is also related to Germany's technical reserves. As the only country that mastered thin shell technology during World War II, it was also a 20mm aviation shell. The loading of Germany's high-explosive bombs was as high as 186 grams, and the best 20mm shells in the Allies was only 11 grams (Japan only had about 7 grams). This is why the power of mg151/20mm is much more powerful than that of other countries' 20mm cannons. Japan is very envious of this and introduced related technologies. Unfortunately, it still cannot be made. It can only buy a lot of physical objects through the exchange of drawings and materials. After replacing the tungsten armor-piercing bomb, the power of mg151 can be more exerted. In the case of the British and American aircraft, except for 4 heavy bombers, the armor and fuel tank sealing layer of other fighter jets and bombers is no longer a problem for German aircraft.
