Chapter 772 Tank Killer
To be honest, sometimes even Qin Chuan is not sure what to do is right.
It is correct to say that the rebels are correct, and they do have their own reasons. It is difficult for the Third Reich to maintain the war attacked by the Soviet Union, the United States, and Britain... It can even be said that Germany can persist until now and still gain the upper hand because Churchill helped behind the scenes, and he has been delaying the development of the second battlefield for the interests of Britain.
History also tells Qin Chuan that the final result is Germany being defeated.
From this point of view, the rebels are correct, even if they are not unified within them, even if they use a Baker who has no appeal and is not good at making decisions to take over as president, even if Germany will split and accelerate Germany's demise after he takes over.
But in the end, the situation will certainly be much better than persisting until 45 years, almost the entire Germany was ruined.
It is wrong to say that the rebel group is that the situation will definitely not be as smooth as the rebel group imagines... Kill Hitler, the Defense Force arrested the SS and Nazi officers, and then controlled the situation and negotiated with the Allies and ceased the war.
What the rebels did not realize was that the basis for the Allies to negotiate a ceasefire with Germany was that the German army still maintained or maintained some of the combat effectiveness that could be fought against them.
Otherwise, if Germany is divided into pieces and fights on its own, and its combat effectiveness is sharply reduced and it cannot resist the Allies, then the Allies will demand that the Germans surrender rather than negotiate.
But obviously, Germany, which had been divided and even lost morale, could not maintain its original combat power.
Therefore, the situation that the rebels hope to have appeared can only be said to be an ideal.
"Lieutenant Colonel!" Conrad walked into the room and saw Qin Chuan, who was pondering at the armed helicopter, saying, "Are you still worried about this big guy?"
Qin Chuan was stunned, and then realized that Conrad had misunderstood, but he did not deny it, and nodded and said, "Yes, Colonel, how can you not worry?"
"We do have reasons to worry!" Conrad stood in front of the armed helicopter and shook his head: "Although it has proven useful in actual combat, it has inherent flaws!"
What Conrad mentioned is the conclusion drawn from time to time of experiment... it cannot fight against tanks or even armored vehicles, even if it is equipped with a large-caliber armor-piercing machine cannon.
The reason is very simple. When an machine cannon attacks a target, it must attack the target's top armor, and it must be close to the target. Otherwise, it may not be possible to hit, and it may not penetrate the target's armor.
Before this, the anti-aircraft machine guns on enemy armored vehicles and tanks could easily shoot down the armed helicopter.
Even if the bottom armor of the armed helicopter is thickened to the point where anti-aircraft machine guns cannot penetrate... The reason is that the target tanks and armored vehicles will not appear alone, they are often more than a dozen, dozens or even hundreds of them put into battle together.
When an armed helicopter flies over a tank and wants to destroy the target, other tanks or armored vehicles can use their anti-aircraft machine guns to point the fragile sides of the armed helicopter.
What's worse is that the two huge rotors of the armed helicopter are also extremely fragile.
This makes it difficult for armed helicopters to fight tanks.
"It may not be suitable for fighting tanks!" Bidman, who was checking the condition of the armed helicopter, drilled out from under the fuselage: "We know that tanks are walking on land, which allows it to carry thicker armor and more powerful firepower under the same power. The helicopters are flying in the sky, and it will inevitably be restricted by this!"
Qin Chuan understood what Bidman meant. What the tank needed was to rely on power to rotate the tracks so that it could maneuver on the ground. This was obviously much easier than the entire helicopter flying in the air. Therefore, helicopters would inevitably have the disadvantage of thin armor and weak firepower compared to tanks.
But this should not happen, because modern helicopters are called "tank killers".
Then, Qin Chuan quickly understood... The reason why helicopters can be called "tank killers" is because they can be equipped with anti-tank missiles and can accurately destroy tanks at long distances.
This also prevents the helicopter from needing to fight tanks at close range, so those innate defects become irrelevant.
So the focus is on missiles, the process of the missile being tested in Africa is the ME163.
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan asked, "How is ME163?"
"Oh!" Conrad replied: "I contacted them once two days ago. Anna asked me to say hello to you on her behalf. I forgot about this, sorry!"
"Colin!" Qin Chuan said: "I'm not asking Anna this time!"
"Uh...Lieutenant Colonel!" Conrad said helplessly: "Don't ask ME163 next time, okay? You can go more detailed, such as let me tell you about the experimental process or Anna!"
"Okay!" Qin Chuan replied: "I want to know the experimental progress this time!"
Conrad pulled Qin Chuan aside. After all, this was a military secret and could not be heard by anyone else, including Bidman.
"Good news!" Conrad said: "We have successfully destroyed an American high-altitude bomber with ME163!"
“Artificial remote control or…”
This is the key. If it is manually remote control, it is not surprising to be able to shoot down the target.
"Radar guidance!" Conrad replied: "They fired five ME163s, one of which hits accurately and shoots down the target. We believe...the Americans don't know yet that it is unmanned and automatically tracks the target!"
Qin Chuan nodded. After all, this control technology is cross-age. When Americans see something like an airplane steering and tracking in the rear, they will eventually hit the target... They will take it for granted that it is a suicide plane controlled by someone. After all, ME163 was originally a manned aircraft.
"Very good!" Qin Chuan was a little surprised by the development progress, but it seemed normal to think about it. Germany has the best talents and strong industrial capabilities, and all they lack is ideas.
For example, they have always positioned the V1 as a cheap bomb that can cover a large area without thinking about improving its accuracy, while the ME163 is positioned as a manned fighter jet... Combining them, plus some positioning and tracking technology, can make the most primitive air defense missiles.
"But, does this have anything to do with the issue we are discussing?" Conrad turned his eyes to the armed helicopter.
"Of course it's related, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "We can not only make ME163 bigger, but also make it smaller!"
"Be a little?" Conrad couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Is it useless to be a little?"
