Chapter 413: Locust Air Force

After that, these soldiers who served in the German Empire were transferred to the wartime reserve army. To read the latest chapter of this book, please go to Baidu search: 1 Novel Network This is the second reserve army for twelve years; at the age of thirty-nine, they were transferred to the final reserve army.

Reserve Army Wartime Militia until their forty-fifth birthday.

Behind these men were male troops unfit for any service except for limited duties in the rear and in safety areas.

The German Empire was not like other countries in that it developed a very efficient core of officers and sergeants who could combine a large number of recruits and reserve forces to form an excellent fighting force. When the war broke out, about two million people were combined in well-educated

A core of trained, professional soldiers formed around it.

The close friendship between the German imperial officers and soldiers, which was alien to the armies of so-called democratic countries, was promoted by the former field marshal in the nineteenth century and continued by his successors.

The officers of the German Empire have always cared about the welfare of their troops as much as they care about the maintenance of oiled machine guns. During the war, when other commanders sent soldiers to die unnecessarily, the generals of the German Empire were efficient

The highest, and least wasteful of their troops.

All these favorable conditions in the early stage provide a particularly solid guarantee for the subsequent forced recruitment of troops...

The live video of the Battle of Jutland was perfectly displayed to the senior generals of the Imperial Navy by Zhou Yu on the Shenlong. Subsequently, the major naval fleets of the Empire began a secret military exercise at sea that lasted for more than a month. This was a special exercise targeting the naval battle in Jutland.

Effective naval exercises were conducted based on the problems exposed during naval battles.

At the same time, the South Asian Lanfang Army carried out a large-scale strategic squeeze and advance against the Indian colonial army from South Borneo and Palembang, forcibly crushing the opponent's controlled areas. It pushed the wheel of the war and gradually compressed the opponent's survival.

space. The ultimate goal is Batavia, the opponent's base in the main control area.

Because the John Bull Empire was currently immersed in the quagmire of the European War, and because the John Bull authorities were afraid that it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings with the Eastern giant, the Chinese Empire. Therefore, the Lan Fang Army, who was also a Chinese, suddenly launched a two-way attack from the north and the south.

The Indian colonial army remained silent.

Almost all the military services of the empire are in motion, and as the emperor of the empire, Zhou Yu is not idle either. Because all the locust troops form a real joint force. Especially the locust bomber troops, which have been trained to form bombers with strong combat effectiveness.

, as many as 5,000.

Originally Zhou Yu was planning to use bombing to attack two types of aircraft, but later he believed that the biggest features of this type of fighter plane were its high speed and light weight. If heavy machine guns or machine guns were used on the fighter planes, this kind of aircraft would have better performance

If it was used, it would be greatly reduced. So he finally decided to only use bombers.

In order to achieve the purpose of being lightweight and saving resources, Zhou Yu improved the mosquito machine he had envisioned earlier.

The re-improved mosquito aircraft was designed according to the design goals of carrying 450 kilograms of bombs, having a range of 2,400 kilometers, and a speed of 640 kilometers per hour. In order to achieve this goal, the aircraft's dead weight must be reduced.

Therefore, first of all, the aircraft is no longer equipped with a turret for self-defense weapons, and the crew is reduced from the original 6 to 2. Secondly, a special wooden structure is adopted.

According to the history of aircraft development, light metal structures have replaced wooden structures or composite structures with steel pipes and wood skins. The reason for the harmonious structure is that light metal structures are stronger and lighter. New aircraft use traditional wood structures. Obviously, the purpose of weight reduction cannot be achieved.

.

So Zhou Yu stole the construction experience of later generations and adopted a special wooden structure - a molded composite wooden structure.

Molded jiao composite wood structure was first used by a small aircraft manufacturing company. But that had to wait until after 1919. Zhou Yu used it at this time, which can be called 'original', but then again, in

He has plagiarized too many things in this time and space, and he doesn't care about it...

In this structure, concrete is first used to create a mold about 6.5 meters long, and then thin spruce wood sheets are coated with special glue and placed alternately, and then the lid of the mold is covered.

At this time, compressed air is filled into the middle rubber airbag. After the special glue solidifies, a wooden structure is formed. The left and right wooden structures are combined to form a fuselage with a wooden composite structure. The production of this structure

The cost is even lower than that of pure wooden structures.

Zhou Yu's mosquito-type structure was further improved on the basis of this structure. The wood in the middle of the wooden joint structure was changed to a lighter wood - balsa wood. It is similar to Paulownia, and the weight of the wooden structure is extremely light.

It decreases, but the intensity increases.

This kind of balsa wood is mostly produced in South America, and the most important producing areas are concentrated in Ecuador. For this reason, Zhou Yu used the name of Moyu Group to make large purchases in the area early. Because people did not know it at this time.

Potential value, so the empire is basically purchased at a carrot price.

In addition to the two special alloy spars in the middle of the wing, the wing of the pattern aircraft is made of upper and lower integrally molded pieces, and the upper and lower wings are joined together; the fuselage is made of two halves of wooden glued structure

, it is combined into a cylindrical load-bearing structure, and the laying of wires and control cables is completed before joining;

The ailerons and tail wings are made of metal or metal frames; the cooler is installed between the engine nacelle and the fuselage, and the air inlet is opened on the leading edge of the wing; the main landing gear is a double-column structure, and the engine is installed on a steel pipe bracket.

Rubber bearing support.

The mosquito machine with an all-wooden structure does not occupy Imperial Alloy's skilled workers, but is produced by Imperial's skilled carpenters. Any furniture factory in the Chinese Empire can do this, which is why Imperial has achieved this in a short period of time.

There are 5,000 Mosquito bombers in the country.

But there is another point that Zhou Yu also noticed, that is, the Mosquito bomber's engine must be suitable for the extremely cold Siberian climate and the high temperature of Africa. This is because a battle between the empire and the European and Western powers is inevitable.

Then the cold and heat resistance of the engine is very important.

The most critical one is the cold and heat resistance of the engine cooling system. The engines here are not just bombers, but also engines for mechanized forces, such as armored vehicles, tanks, etc.

So Zhou Yu specially provided to the Ministry of Science and Technology for this purpose, dozens of special cold-proof and heat-resistant materials for engines. Among them, there are sprint-free asbestos composite sealing materials, special materials for intercoolers, multi-layer silicone tubes, special alloy castings and gas pipes, etc.
