"The JU88 medium bomber produced by Junker Company, one of the best medium bomber planes of World War II. It's a 1937 model and has better combat effectiveness than the HE111.”
The system changed its tone and changed it to a mature female voice, which made Adolf a little uncomfortable.
"Although it is indeed more professional than the HE111, since I have already started to equip the HE111 bomber, I don't need this model for the time being.”
Adolf thought for a moment and said.
One of the reasons why he was optimistic about the HE111 medium bomber was that it was not a complete bomber like the JU88. Without the bombs, it could also be used as a transport plane and cargo plane. It was a very versatile fighter.
" Since I already have the Stuka dive bomber, I don't need so many medium bomber aircraft for close combat support. On the other hand, neither the JU88 nor the HE111 can be used as a heavy bomber. This was undoubtedly shown in the history of the British Air War.”
Adolf analyzed. He felt that it would be better to develop a new type of aircraft than to equip a medium-sized bomber with a high degree of overlapping functions.
As a military fan of the 21st century, Adolf knew that after the end of World War II, the tactical bomber led by the medium bomber gradually withdrew from the historical stage. Its status was replaced by the ground attack aircraft that focused on close support and the strategic bomber that focused on long-range.
The strategic bomber was mainly used to influence the overall war. It was usually used as a strategic deterrent. Once it was used, it would generally cause a fundamental change in the war.
More importantly, nuclear weapons that appeared in the future could only be dropped by strategic bomber aircraft according to the technological level of World War II. Otherwise, it would be a hidden danger left on the ground.
"What I want is a bomber with a bomb load and a long range!”
Adolf searched for a long time with this mentality, but he soon discovered sadly that the Third Reich during World War II did not have a real heavy bomber at all.
Although there were also so-called heavy bomber aircraft such as the HE177, what made people speechless was that this model was actually required to have the ability to dive and bomb!
It would have been fine if he didn't add it, but adding it would have been superfluous. This was also the reason why Adolf had given up on it in the first place.
"It's all the JU88's fault!”Adolf cursed," If it weren't for its excellent performance in the early stages of the war, why wouldn't the Empire produce heavy bomber?”
The neglect of the heavy bomber made the Empire helpless against the British Empire and the Soviet Union. They could not maintain long-term effective deterrent bombing, and due to the limited range, they could not threaten the industrial center behind the enemy.
This was really a hard wound.
Moreover, the Air Force Doctrine he chose was the " Strategic Destruction Doctrine."
"Although I'm very optimistic about America's B29 Sky Fortress, as an orthodox German, I won't use anything from America!”
Adolf was a man of principle.
" The JU-390 heavy bomber was a project that was only started at the end of the war. Its original purpose was to be able to attack the United States of America over long distances in North America, but it was not equipped because of the early defeat of the Third Reich.”
Adolf found the relevant data.
The JU390 strategic bomber was born at the end of World War II. Its maximum take-off weight was 75500kg, which was nearly 15000kg more than the American B29 "Super Fortress" heavy bomber of the same period. Its maximum range was 9700 kilometers, which was nearly 4000 kilometers more than the B29 bomber!
It used the BMW 801E engine produced by BMW, and its power arrangement was a six-engine configuration. Other than being a little bigger than the B29, the rest of the engine was almost better than the B29.
It was just that it appeared at the wrong time. It only produced two prototype machines when the Empire was about to lose the war, so it did not affect the war situation at all.
In fact, it was not just the JU390. There were many other amazing technologies in the Third Reich, but they were all invented too late and did not have much impact on the history of the time. However, they were carried forward in later generations.
"We need you to provide more powerful aircraft engines.”
Adolf said to the BMW executives led by Ganser Kovent.
"Mr. Princeps, to tell you the truth, our company has just imported a batch of air-cooled engines from the M Nation. We are currently in the process of replicating them.”The BMW founder, Ganser Kovent, said.
"Then, when you go back today, tell your engineers that from now on, they don't need to copy it. I have a blueprint of the new engine here.”
Adolf ordered Misch to pass the blueprint to Ganse.
This was the most powerful BMW801 engine during the Second World War. Its early versions were used on the Empire's famous FW190 fighter jet. The turbine was its early weakness, but Adolf had informed the system in advance to fix this problem. Although it had spent all the remaining technology points, the BMW801 had completely reached the peak of the piston-type engine.
"Princeps, I have to admit that the developer of this engine is a genius!”
Ganse praised. As an expert in aircraft engine manufacturing, he could naturally tell the quality of an engine at a glance. Moreover, to him, the more technically unattainable the design was, the more he liked it.
"There's no lack of geniuses among you, it's just that they haven't shown themselves yet.”Adolf handed another document to Ganser.
"Do you mean to ask BMW to stop its private commercial activities and focus on the manufacture of aircraft and tank engines?!”
Ganser was shocked. He wanted to object at first, but when he saw Adolf's reward, he immediately swallowed his words.
An order of 800 million marks a year? That was the scale of a thousand planes!
The Empire's Air Force had only been established for less than ten years, and the Ruler was going to carry out such a huge expansion?
Ganser felt that his future was bright.
"Hello? Was it Spear? Did the commissioner sent to Italy reply?”
After sending off the people in the BMW, Adolf picked up the phone and asked his chief of weapons.
"In response to the Chancellor, they replied to me, saying that the Italian military companies such as Fiat, Breda, and Biagio are very willing to cooperate with us. I have already instructed them to produce various parts for heavy bomber according to the standards you gave.”
Spear was indeed efficient.
"Hmm, okay. By the way, go to Stuttgart tomorrow and find a good place. I want to build two more large aircraft manufacturing plants.”
It was not that Adolf didn't want the Empire's companies to produce these small things, but the Empire's companies, whether it was Krupp or Daimler Benz, were all producing the new tanks of the army at full capacity. He didn't think that they needed to be distracted by this if it was not necessary.
" The cost of developing a contemporary strategic bomber is ten times that of an ordinary bomber. Therefore, even if the Third Reich decided to develop a strategic bomber, due to the war situation at that time, the raw materials and funds were used for fighter planes, resulting in the Imperial Air Force not having any successful equipment.”
Adolf thought for a while and felt that he could not wait until the war began to develop this weapon. He had to prepare for the rainy day and strive to equip it in advance after the war to unify Europe began.
