Chapter 125 No Plane, No Engine

Everything that can fly in the Empire must be managed by the Air Force! This was originally a dream of Goering, but now, this dream was shattered by Cyric, so the current Goering is quite firm.

If you want to build an aircraft carrier, I don't care. If you want to get a plane from me? impossible!

BF109, the most advanced aircraft in Germany! Goering has also flown, and he is full of praise for this aircraft, the performance is first-class in all aspects! The current production is limited, and it is too late to equip the Air Force! How can it be the navy's turn?

You must know that the Navy plans to equip at least three such Count Zeppelin aircraft carriers. Each aircraft carrier can operate almost a hundred or so aircraft. Even if half of them are fighter jets, the three will have to be fifty! Coupled with the rotation, it is not enough to not have 200 fighters, and absolutely cannot steal something from the mouth of the Air Force!

In this regard, Goering, no matter what other people's opinions, even if Hitler speaks now, Goering has to push back firmly!

The navy is important, so the air force is not important? If you dare to steal the plane from my mouth, then I will resign now!

Goering's attitude was firm, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room quickly cooled down. Everyone knew that the current Goering was determined to watch the good show of the Navy. If he wanted BF109, it was impossible!

So, Erich could only turn his eyes to Cyric for help. Cyric was extremely supportive of the Navy. The Navy's aircraft carrier plan was also concocted by Cyric. Now, Cyric will definitely be able to. help!

Sure enough, Cyric spoke up: "Since the Air Force's BF109 fighter is quite nervous, let's just start the navy and develop a fighter on its own."

Develop one yourself! Cyric's attitude made Goering stunned for a moment.

Originally, Goering wanted to use carrier-based aircraft to blackmail the navy, and he still would not give up the idea of ​​controlling the aircraft carrier, but now, Cyric made it very clear, develop another one!

No, they can't make their wishes come true!

"Now, the production of our DB601 series engines is also very tight. If the Navy intends to develop a new aircraft, it cannot use this engine from Mercedes-Benz as the power source. Otherwise, it will seriously affect the equipment of our Air Force." Goering continued.

Goering's words made Hitler unhappy. At this meeting, Goering was too aggressive.

"Goering, enough!" Hitler interrupted Goering.

"It's okay, Führer." Cyric said, "I don't plan to use a Mercedes-Benz engine either. We can have a BMW engine."

For any fighter, the engine is always the most critical! The successful flight of BF109 is inseparable from the DB601 series engine of Mercedes-Benz!

The aero-engine is the heart of the aircraft, and the technical performance of the engine directly determines the tactical and technical performance of the combat aircraft.

Germany's most advanced BF109 fighter can be invincible, sweeping Europe and ruling North Africa, precisely because of the huge advantages of equipment technology, and in the later stage, the Mustang can sweep, and it is inseparable from the engine.

Now, it is the peak moment of the development of the piston engine, and Germany, relying on its generous technical reserves, relying on smart technicians, and relying on the humiliating power of World War I, began to accumulate a lot on the engine.

Now, the mainstream of development is to use a new type of liquid-cooled V-cylinder piston engine to replace the radial air-cooled engine.

After the collapse of Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz attracted a large number of developers from the original Rolls-Royce company. At the same time, it also introduced all the technologies of the immature Merlin engine, and integrated its own projects to develop the 1000-horsepower DB600 series. At the same time, in this project, the DB601 series has been practically mass-produced.

This is a typical liquid-cooled inverted V-type 12-cylinder piston engine with two banks of cylinders angled down at a 60-degree angle, the middle accommodates the gear transmission, and the turbocharger is located on the left side of the engine. The structure is compact, the power is high, the structure is compact, and the direct fuel injection system is also adopted!

In this era, an engine with more than 600 horsepower is already high horsepower, and Mercedes-Benz has achieved more than 1000 horsepower! Subsequent development, special models for breaking records, even exceeded 2000 horsepower!

Especially the direct injection system is more advanced! How advanced is it? In later generations, the engines of many domestic cars, if they are direct injection, are enough to be promoted as an advantage! Decades later, it is not outdated, it is advanced technology!

And the Mercedes-Benz company, in the late 1930s, fiddled with it!

Later, Mercedes-Benz continued to fiddle with this engine, increased the cylinder bore, and changed the DB605 series.

Now, this engine is the treasure of the Luftwaffe. In addition to the current BF109, other planned aircraft are also going to use this engine.

Therefore, Goering is now going out of his way. Even if it makes Hitler unhappy, Goering will say that it will not be used by your navy, not only the aircraft, but also the engine!

It's a pity that Goering is still disappointed. At this time, Cyric has put forward a new point of view, not using your aircraft or your engine, but using the BMW company's model!

Hearing Cyric's words, Goring was instantly happy: "Cyric, you are not from the Air Force, you don't know at all, now, air-cooled engines are outdated."

Luftwaffe funding is also limited, so they can only focus on supporting one model, the liquid-cooled engine of Mercedes-Benz, and although BMW is also developing air-cooled aircraft engines, it has not received funding from the Luftwaffe!

Relying on BMW itself, it is very laborious to develop this engine. After all, aero engines are piled up by money!

In addition to the funding issue, another issue is that now the Luftwaffe has almost reached a consensus that liquid-cooled engines are the mainstream and air-cooled engines are outdated. Therefore, they did not support BMW's air-cooled engine project.

However, BMW did not fall into the development process because of this, and Cyric contributed to it.

Cyric has brought in enough funds from Hughes Company in the United States. This BMW engine is rapidly entering the development stage, and there is no need to worry about sales!

Howard has always been obsessed with racing planes, and plans to use this super powerful engine, and plans to cooperate with Germany to develop a large transatlantic passenger plane, and plans to use this engine!

The most conservative estimate is that this engine can also have sales of hundreds of units. An engine that can produce this scale can already pay for itself.

And, of course, this is not enough, Cyric has already planned to use this engine to develop a more advanced fighter! In history, this kind of fighter is called FW190!
