"The two aviation clusters deployed by the Imperial Air Force in Nanyang and Australia must also be prepared for combat. Although the aviation power of the island country is not weak, but the representative ones are only Type Zero carrier-based fighter jets. Our BF-109 The fighter jets, as well as the carrier-based BF-109 fighters, are no worse than the Type Zero carrier-based fighters, let alone the more powerful FW-190 fighter jets. Moreover, our engineers have found a way to deal with the Type Zero carrier-based fighters. There is a solution. I believe that our pilots can deal with this kind of fighter with super low-altitude dogfighting performance. This will give us a great advantage when dealing with the carrier-based aircraft forces of the island navy!" Qin God said.
The island nation’s most famous fighter in World War II was undoubtedly the Type Zero carrier-based fighter. Although this kind of fighter is not very fast, it has excellent low-altitude dogfighting performance and has a very long range. This made them beat the American F4F fighter jets into dogs in the early days of the Pacific War in World War II in another time and space. So much so that many pilots of the U.S. Naval Air Force dare not take off to fight again. This situation was not changed until the F4U fighter jets entered service and the Americans also found a way to deal with the Zero-type carrier-based fighter jets.
The advantages of Zero fighters are mainly in low-altitude dogfighting. They are easy to deal with as long as you don't engage in dogfights with them. For example, the most classic tactic against Zero fighters is undoubtedly to use speed and climb advantages to conduct dive attacks from high altitude. After completing an attack, use the advantages of speed and climb to get rid of the pursuit of Zero fighter jets, and continue to dive and attack after reaching high altitude. If the Zero fighters keep chasing, their body structure is not strong enough, which will cause them to fall apart. After all, in order to achieve ultra-long range, the Zero fighter is as light as possible in terms of materials, so that its strength is not strong. This makes the Zero fighter very likely to disintegrate in the air if it dives too fast. And, once hit, it is likely to be destroyed. Unlike the German fighter planes, a certain amount of armor is installed on key parts to resist low-intensity attacks. Of course, these defects of the Zero fighter are due to the insufficient engine performance of the island country. Otherwise, these deficiencies are fixable.
For example, the engine used by the Zero fighter is only 950 horsepower, while the engine of the FW-190 fighter is as high as 1550 horsepower, and the engine of the BF-109 fighter is also as high as 1100 horsepower. The carrier-based fighter needs to further improve the structural strength of the airframe, so it needs a more powerful engine so that the fighter can have a greater speed.
Almost all American fighter planes are equipped with powerful engines. They even believe that as long as the power is strong, even a brick can fly into the sky. This can be seen from the appearance of the U.S. fighter jets, and they have taken this point of view to the extreme.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The 5th Aviation Group and the 6th Aviation Group of the Imperial Air Force are ready to fight! Once the islanders really dare to attack us, we will make them pay an unbearable price!" Al Field Marshal Bert Kesselring said.
Qin Tian nodded. After he became the German emperor, or before he became the German crown prince, he paid special attention to the development of the air force. This has enabled the German Air Force to be equipped with so many advanced fighters, and it is also completely at the leading level in the world.
"By the way, Marshal Kesselring, how is the preparation for the strategic bombing of Russia?" Qin Tian asked.
To defeat Russia, it is not only necessary to destroy their army on the battlefield, but also to destroy their industrial production capacity. Especially military production. If the capabilities of Bu Russia can be destroyed, it will be relatively easier for Germany to defeat Bu Russia. After all, without enough weapons and equipment, should those Russian soldiers be allowed to deal with the German army with bare hands? In that case, I am afraid that it will only be crushed by the German army. Therefore, Qin Tian has always attached great importance to the development of the strategic air force.
"Your Majesty, after several months of preparation, we are almost ready to launch a strategic bombing campaign against Russia. We have built a large number of airfields in Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine where strategic bombers can take off. Now, those airfields are ready for use Yes. In terms of long-range fighter jets, BF-110 fighter jets have also accumulated enough numbers to provide **** for our strategic bombers." Marshal Albert Kesselring said.
Before, the Luftwaffe did not have enough strategic bombers and at the same time did not have enough long-range fighters. In addition, related supporting facilities such as the airport are not yet ready. This has delayed the German Air Force's strategic bombing of Russia.
Qin Tian nodded: "When can the strategic bombing start? How big a scale can we deploy to bomb Russia?"
"Your Majesty, we will be ready within a week at the latest. This time, we will dispatch 1,200 long-range strategic bombers to carry out strategic bombing against Bu Russia. Among them, 900 H-11 heavy long-range bombers and 300 H- 21 heavy long-range bombers." Marshal Albert Kesselring said.
"It seems that we still don't have enough long-range strategic bombers!" Qin Tian said.
"Your Majesty, the current Strategic Air Force has only 1,200 H-11 heavy long-range bombers and 300 H-21 heavy long-range bombers. The production of H-11 heavy long-range bombers has been discontinued, and the production of H-21 long-range bombers is now in progress. The production is expected to reach one hundred per month. In addition, the more advanced H-31 heavy long-range bomber is also under development. It is expected to be mass-produced in the next year at the latest." Marshal Albert Kesselring replied .
Although the cost of a heavy long-range bomber is very high, this kind of bomber has a long range and a large ammunition load, making it an indispensable main force for strategic bombing. Therefore, Germany is still desperately manufacturing this huge weapon of war.
"The scale of our heavy strategic bombers must be guaranteed to be at least 3,000. Only in this way can it be barely enough." Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Albert Kesselring nodded.
If the number requested by Qin Tian is to be reached, the Luftwaffe will need to further purchase more heavy long-range bombers. Based on the current gap, it will take one year and three months to satisfy the loss. If the losses during the war are deducted, then Germany needs to produce more heavy long-range bombers. To solve this problem, Marshal Albert Kesselring knew that he must find a way to further increase the production of heavy long-range bombers.
