“If they want to buy, let them come and choose. Except for Bismarck and Scharnhorst, other levels of warships can be sold to them. It is estimated that they can’t afford to buy large warships!”
After learning about the needs of the Beiyang government, Mainz’s attitude became indifferent.
The arms trade has always been a highly profitable industry, and in the arms trade, transactions involving the navy and the air force are particularly expensive.
In this case, someone took the initiative to come to us to purchase Hans’s warships, help Hans to obtain foreign exchange and create jobs. Mainz naturally would not refuse such a thing.
After arranging this matter, Mainz’s attention returned to domestic affairs.
The 1925 election was getting closer. Originally, Mainz had no intention of participating in the election, but now it was different. After Hindenburg went to Odili for vacation, Mainz had been acting president for several months.
In this case, he was not sure whether Hindenburg would still participate in next year’s election. If Hindenburg did not participate, then he would have to do it himself.
Therefore, Mainz planned to go to Odili in person to communicate with President Hindenburg and see his specific arrangements.
However, before leaving, Mainz had to arrange things in Berlin. Otherwise, if both he and Hindenburg were not in Berlin, once someone launched a coup, the regime would most likely be overthrown.
“Goebbels, during my absence, you will be in charge of Berlin’s affairs. If you encounter any problems that you cannot solve, please send me a telegram. I will ask Himmler to help you stabilize the situation. If you find any abnormalities, send me a telegram immediately!”
After thinking for a long time, Mainz finally chose Goebbels to take charge of the situation.
In terms of position, the Minister of the Interior, the mustache, has a higher position. In terms of loyalty, Himmler and Ribbentrop are more loyal.
However, in terms of ability, Goebbels’s ability is more outstanding.
This is why he finally chose Goebbels.
“General, you have entrusted me with such an important task. I will do my best and will never let you down until my death!”
Goebbels is very smart, so he knows how important the task given to him by Mainz is!
The other party can give him such an important task, which shows that he trusts him very much in his heart!
This trust moved Goebbels very much. He has never forgotten who brought him from the bottom of the people to his current position step by step.
And Goebbels has been looking for opportunities to repay Mainz’s kindness!
This time is a great opportunity. He swore in his heart that he must complete the task assigned to him by General Mainz, even at the cost of his life!
“Relax, things are not that complicated, they are just a few clowns. With Himmler and the SS helping behind the scenes, they can’t cause any trouble. You don’t need to put so much pressure on yourself!”
Mainz was very clear about the undercurrent surging in Hans. The reason why he blatantly went south this time was, on the one hand, to report to Hindenburg and ask about his attitude and arrangements, and on the other hand, to deal with these people and lure them out!
Enemies hidden in the dark are much more dangerous than enemies exposed in the light, so Mainz plans to give them a chance to seize the opportunity when Mainz leaves. As long as they jump out, their identities, their plans and their goals will be exposed.
Once their identities are exposed, it will be easy for Mainz to deal with them!
“Yes, General!”
After hearing Mainz’s arrangement, I felt much calmer.
Since General Mainz had anticipated everything, I had nothing to worry about!
……
In late November 1924, Mainz left Berlin and took a train south in the name of reporting to President Hindenburg. On
November 21, Mainz’s train arrived in Munich, the capital of Bavaria, where he participated in the first flight ceremony of the B-108 fighter manufactured by Messerschmitt.
This fighter was the first fighter developed by Messerschmitt. Compared with the fighters of this era, this fighter was very advanced in technology. It used many novel technologies, which greatly improved the speed, range, firepower and maneuverability of the aircraft. The maximum speed of this aircraft is 305 kilometers per hour. Compared with the fighters of about 20 kilometers during World War I, the flight speed has increased by 50%.
In terms of range, the maximum range of this fighter has been increased to 1,000 kilometers, and auxiliary fuel tanks can be added under the wings. After adding auxiliary fuel tanks, the range of this fighter can reach 1,500 kilometers.
Because of the greatly increased range, the combat radius of this fighter has been greatly improved. For European countries, because their countries are not large in area, the extra combat radius of hundreds of kilometers allows this fighter to even perform certain long-range bombing missions!
Of course, the increase in range has greatly increased their airborne time in air combat, and the efficiency of air combat has increased several times compared to fighters during World War I!
Mainz came by chance. When he came, BF-108 had just completed a series of ground tests and was about to prepare for flight tests.
So, Willy Messerschmitt and others enthusiastically invited Mainz to participate in the first flight ceremony of this aircraft. Mainz certainly would not refuse, but gladly accepted.
So, under the personal witness of Mainz, Hans’s first fighter produced after the war, the BF-108 fighter code-named Typhoon, took off.
“General, we are not bragging. With the performance of this fighter, we can at least defeat 90% of the opponents in the world today!”
Although this sounds very arrogant, Mainz knows that what he said is true.
After World War I, although countries attached great importance to new weapons such as fighter jets, due to the sharp decline in military expenditures after the war and the lack of the threat of war, countries began to slow down in the development of weapons. After World War I, the number of new fighter jets in various countries was very small, and the performance improvement was not very large.
Take the traditional power, the British Empire, as an example. Due to the decline in external pressure, their development progress was greatly slowed down. In 1919, they were ready to develop the next generation of fighter jets, code-named Goldfinch Fighter, in response to the problems exposed by fighter jets in World War I!
As a result, this fighter After a delay of 4 years, it was officially launched and flew for the first time in 1923.
This time was only one year apart from Hans’s BF-108 fighter.
However, Messerschmitt’s BF-108 fighter was not launched until the end of 193. It took them only one year from project establishment to design, development and production to produce the BF-108 fighter!
Moreover, compared to the Goldfinch fighter, Hans’s BF-108 is obviously more advanced in performance.
The Goldfinch fighter’s data on flight speed, range and maneuverability are indeed much better than those of the fighters during World War I. With a small improvement, their maximum flight speed reached 250 kilometers per hour.
However, the BF-108 reached 305 kilometers per hour, and the improvement was undoubtedly greater.
Moreover, the advantages of the BF-108 in terms of range and maximum take-off weight are more obvious.
The Goldfinch fighter still belongs to the category of biplane fighters of the World War I era.
This type of fighter was more popular in the early stages of fighter development.
Because the engine power was not good, the thrust of the aircraft could not meet the requirements.
Therefore, in order to make the aircraft fly, the characteristics of aircraft in various countries during the World War I were generally to reduce the structural weight and use two wings to increase lift, so that the aircraft could take off normally and And fight!
Due to the drag of engine technology, the speed of biplanes is generally very slow, and the material of the fuselage is mainly wood, and the weight is controlled below one ton. Because of the light weight, it is impossible to mount heavy weapons. Moreover, because the fuselage uses a lot of wood materials, the protection is very poor, and the fuselage is often blown up in the air during air combat.
With the advancement of engine technology, countries began to gradually get rid of biplanes and began to develop monoplanes, and developed metal structures to enhance the protection of fighters. This is the grand occasion of flourishing during World War II!
At this time, Hans was undoubtedly ahead of other countries! _Feilu reminds you: Three things to do when reading-
