On November 26, Spel presided over the second aviation armament restructuring meeting in Berlin. As early as a week before the meeting, all aircraft and aviation motor manufacturers were ready to try.

Especially in the first military reorganization case, He-111, He-177 and other models were cut off. Henkel, who was squeezed by Junkers and was squeezed with anger, had already spoken out in advance to fight a good turnaround, because this time they had something good in their hands - due to Messer-Schmidt's snatch of Zero fighters, Henkel and Junkers made great efforts to provide Comet and Tianshan's two carrier-based attack aircraft, but they did not disappoint them. In particular, Comet, a dive bomber that Japan exhibited outstanding performance on the He-118 that Henkel had lost bid in the early years, and no one expected it.

This Japanese illegitimate child can shine, not only far beyond the design indicators and expectations of Henkel when it was sold, but even better than the new designs currently opened by the company. Henkel, who was overjoyed, immediately used it as a pillar project, got the drawings and restored and improved it with a desperate spirit of three shifts. After structural reinforcement (the first thing that happened to the German designers when they arrived at the hands of Japanese aircraft), the motivation and horsepower increased (the Japanese copycat level was not as good as the original version of the db6o1), and at the same time, the wingspan and fuselage were fine-tuned based on the new weight and center of gravity. Henkel took out a new dive bomber code-named He-218.

The latest model is too superior to the data of Stuka. The motivation adopts a very mature db6o1e (145o horsepower) motivation. Although the nominal data looks only 5o horsepower higher than the Japanese version of Aichi "Retta" 32, the Japanese admit that the horsepower data of the Hirota 32 are very unstable. The failure-free time at the maximum horsepower is very short, far less than that of the db6o1e. The weight increases slightly after the structure and body reinforcement. Because of this, the maximum weight is reduced to 572 km/h, with a total weight of 278 tons and a ceiling of 10,000 meters. It can carry 1 5oo kg aviation bomb, and 2 small bombs weighing 3o kg under the wings, with a maximum range of 12oo kilometers. If the position of the small bomb is replaced with a small secondary fuel tank, the maximum range will be increased to more than 135o kilometers.

In addition to the certain advantages of ammunition load, Stuka is not the opponent of He-218, regardless of degree, range, or ceiling, especially in the field of degree, it is far inferior. In the eyes of fighter pilots, Stuka is as clumsy as a big bear. The he-218 is almost not as fast as a bomber. After dropping bombs, it is as light as a swan. If you are not careful, you will let him slip away (in history, comets often rushed in front of zero war). The time it was exposed to air defense firepower was less than 35% of Stuka. Although Stuka's body structure and strike resistance resistance are stronger than the he-218, it really can't stand others running faster.

In the words of Henkel's representative, the bombing operations of more than 30 kilometers, Stuka's flight time was enough for He-218 to fly twice, but things usually have two sides. This fast characteristic makes the He-218 still have poor operating performance in low states. Except for skilled veterans, they cannot safely and reliably board the ship (it is slightly better than the Japanese version's operating performance). However, Henkel's attention was not limited to carrier-based aircraft, but instead targeted the Eastern Front, Norway and North Africa battlefields, intending to squeeze the living space of Sttuka. Henkel, who was squeezed by Ju-88 in a large number of He-111 and He-177 orders, was determined to come back in the face this time.

In the face of facts and test pilot evaluations, Junckers' defense was pale and powerless. The poor ju-87's production task was cut in 1943 at once. The remaining orders were still the ones that the 6th Army believed that the ju-87 could be reasonably converted into a ground attack aircraft and strived to retain. Henkel received the order of 2ooo racks. Sperer asked them to freeze the technical indicators before December 31 and officially start mass production in February; if they solved the problem of ship-based mail, the order could continue to be added to 1oo racks.`

The representatives of Henkel Company breathed a sigh of relief, and the representatives of Mercedes-Benz Company breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether it was shipped or not, at least the motives of 3ooo Taiwan db6o1 finally had a place to go, so there would be no embarrassing situation of squeezing into the warehouse after production (after the mobilization, Mercedes-Benz's production capacity also increased very quickly)

There are far more than one type of aircraft that is difficult to operate in low states than the He-218. Wolf representatives were frustrated and announced that the F-19oa series carrier-based mechanization had failed again. Not only did the distance required for takeoff exceed the bidding requirements, but the landing operation was also difficult. It was almost impossible to complete on the Zeppelin aircraft carrier. Spelle lost patience and announced on the spot that the project had been cut. Wolf representatives were not disappointed because his goal was not here.

But what surprised him was that when he was preparing to preach the plan for combat bombing and ground attack improvement, he was interrupted mercilessly by Hoffman: "The f-19o is a heavy, medium and high-altitude fighter, aiming to seize air supremacy and eliminate the enemy's main fighter and bomber. One kilogram of excess weight is not allowed for bombing and ground attack... All multi-purpose modification plans will be suspended. It is recommended that you work hard to reduce weight and increase the range..."

The atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became cold, "But, Yuan..." Dr. Tan Ke, a designer of Wolf Company, seemed to want to fight for the company, but Hoffman's determination was unshakable. He explained with a smile, "Wolf Company should not do things that have little to do with the bank. There will be so many fighter orders that you can't finish - how are your liquid-cooled series of fighters running?"

At the first aviation armament meeting, due to Hoffman's attention and support, Dr. Tan Ke accelerated the promotion of the F-19od project. Unlike the motivations that were forced to switch to the ju 213 series in history, due to the weakening of the status of the BF-1O9 series and the remaining output of the DB6O1 series, Dr. Tan Ke is now proud. Both Yumo and Mercedes-Benz compete to please him, and they have launched the latest motivations for their choice. They even provided him with new motivations that have just been successfully designed and have not been successfully qualitative.

, I just hope to use my own motivation in this new modification. In order to fool Dr. Tan Ke, Yumo Company took out the Jumo-213e (test type), while Mercedes-Benz was even more exaggerated, taking out the db6o3l (test type) and db6o3n (design drawings). After equipped with the liquid cooler, the cross-section of the new F-19o head was smaller than that of the BM8o1 air cooler, but the length was prominent (f-19od is known as the long nose Dora). At the same time, in order to balance the weight of the aircraft, the aircraft increased the vertical tail wing, making the overall look more slender.

"...After changing the liquid cooler, the air resistance of the aircraft decreases, the maximum acceleration, and the performance of medium and high altitudes is particularly outstanding..."

"Stop!" Hoffman interrupted Dr. Tan Ke's introduction, "I don't want to hear the publicity of how superior the performance of the aircraft is after installing these new motives - we are fighting, everyone should be more realistic, what about the mass production motive that can be equipped immediately?"

“JuTouch-213d and db6o3e.”

“Which performance is better?”

“Ju Touch-213d.”

“What if the experimental motivation is used?”

“db6o3l is better than jut-213e.”

Now, the faces of representatives of the two motivation companies have become very exciting. They stretched their necks and looked at Hoffman with their eyes wide open.

Hoffman is very clear about the design and manufacturing process of the F-19od in real history: Dr. Tan Ke started out and went to DB6O3. Because he couldn't get the goods, he delayed the overall research time. Later, the model that installed the DB6O3 motivation was called the F-19oc, while the one who used the jut series was called the F-19od. The difference is that the former only stayed in the test stage while the latter shone brightly, but the competition between the two did not simply stay at this stage. At the end of 1944, the F-19oc series became the ultimate model of the German piston fighter. Therefore, if you want a quick solution, the F-19od is a good transition. If you want a complete solution, the Ta-152 is the right way.

He sighed and finally made a decision: "I hope to see the liquid-cooled version of F-19o in half a year. The motivations of Mercedes-Benz or Junckers can be considered. Whoever has more mature product technology, better performance, and richer output will be considered. I hope you can work hard."

This is equivalent to inconclusiveness. Both Mercedes-Benz and Junckers representatives were relieved. If they were not sure, it means there was still a chance, but Hoffmann's next sentence made them unable to sit still: "I am optimistic about the future of this new aircraft. Given that our air defense mission will be very heavy and the potential of the bf-1o9 is about to be exhausted, he will have a huge order."

Speer added: "I needed 5oo racks in the second half of 1943, and in 1944 I needed 20,000 to 250,000."

"What?" Everyone was shocked and could hardly speak - the number in 1944 was almost equivalent to the full output of the bf-1o9 series so far! Whoever got this order means rolling money.xh:2182o413
