Although it was out of revenge, it must be said that the Germans were serious about it. In this investigation report, the Germans pointed out that the fleets of the United Kingdom and the United States were attacked by the Federal Air Force instead of the Federal Air Force.
The navy defeated them. Although the Federation Navy did an excellent job of monitoring the whereabouts of the two fleets and diverting their attention, it was the Federation Air Force aircraft that dealt the two fleets a devastating blow.
German newspapers not only pointed out the Federation's attack methods, but also gave a detailed description of the Federation aircraft. According to them, this Federation aircraft, which is very similar in appearance and design concept to the German Fokker E-type monoplane, has better performance.
Far surpassing the German Fokker E-type, they can carry hundreds of kilograms of heavy torpedoes, fly at very high speeds, and have a range of thousands of kilometers.
Moreover, the number of these aircraft was very large. Just to attack the British and American fleets, the Federal Air Force dispatched more than 300 aircraft at one time and carried out overwhelming torpedo attacks on the British and American fleets. In one of the newspapers
, the German editor also wrote in a gloating tone:
"I really wanted to see the expression of Royal Navy Marshal David Betty at the scene. I even wanted to visit the Earl's injury in the naval hospital in India and interview him by the way. Unfortunately, the British would not allow it."
In addition, these German newspapers also agreed that the development of the South China Sea Federation's air force has far exceeded that of other countries in the world. They have dominated the sky and created another combat mode. The British and American forces in this war have
Failure. It also indicates that future wars are no longer a simple mode of fighting for sea control and land. Now the sky will become the third battlefield, and its weight is no less than the first two.
After the publication of these newspapers, this kind of article that is closer to reality and has clear logic immediately aroused the recognition of military experts and enthusiasts in many countries. Among them, the German side was even more ecstatic, because in the "Contract of Versailles"
, although it is stipulated that Germany cannot organize an air force, it does not stipulate that Germany cannot develop aircraft, and even more
There is no rule that Germany cannot own civilian aircraft. And as long as aircraft are not equipped with weapons, it is difficult to clearly define which ones are civilian and which ones are military. Germany can completely develop civilian aircraft and establish civil airlines.
way to develop its own military aircraft and train its own pilots.
However, the technology and raw materials for developing aircraft are not easy to find in Germany. Many German factories were evacuated by the Allied Powers, and those technicians were either arrested by the Allied Powers or fled early with their families.
In the South China Sea Federation and South America, some Germans even suspected that these aircraft in the South China Sea Federation were probably researched and manufactured with the help of former German aircraft manufacturers. Although it is somewhat unreasonable in terms of time, this argument is still among the top German officials.
Very marketable.
With the gradual disclosure of these newspapers, more and more facts about these two naval battles were discovered and became more and more detailed. Coupled with the air raids in Singapore Port, the outside world recognized that the South China Sea Federation had a very powerful force.
The huge air force not only has a large number of aircraft, but the quality of the aircraft is also outstanding. There is no other aircraft like it.
In view of the fact that most of the territory of the South China Sea Federation is on several large islands, and the distance between the islands is very close, and after occupying the Malay Peninsula, no matter whether it is a ship coming from the west, east, or south,
It is necessary to cross an ocean to reach the coastal waters of the South China Sea Federation. For the Federation Air Force, which is in defensive operations, it is simply a piece of cake to attack an enemy fleet.
For the attacking side, it is basically impossible to approach the South China Sea Federation from the sea. No matter whether your ship is equipped with enough anti-aircraft guns, you cannot be sure that it will be intact under the attack of hundreds of aircraft.
The huge price difference between an aircraft and a main battleship makes it a cost-effective deal to lose a few or dozens of aircraft in an attack in exchange for one of the opponent's battleships.
Aircraft... torpedo attack aircraft... If you want to ask what was the most popular thing in the world in 1920, it must be the weapon of aircraft.
Seeing that it has become possible to use aircraft to attack large fleets, and the effect is so good, those countries that cannot equip large surface ships due to various reasons seem to have seen a glimmer of hope. If they can equip a sufficient number of aircraft, then in the future they will
There is no need to be afraid of those cannons and giant ships, let alone other countries using these weapons to threaten them.
Therefore, the war between the United Kingdom and the United States and the South China Sea Federation is no longer important to these countries. Moreover, the United Kingdom and the United States still have the courage to spend all their money and gather two fleets to go to the waters of Southeast Asia to find them.
Is the South China Sea Federation in trouble? These countries are very neutral and believe that it is basically impossible.
The only focus they are focusing on now is how they can purchase this kind of aircraft from the South China Sea Federation, or purchase the manufacturing technology of this kind of aircraft, even if they can recruit a pilot.
The first person to make such a request to the Federation was the German government. Less than half a month after the end of the three-nation naval war, Ms. Helena, the Finance Minister of the Federation, went to Liu Fu privately and explained her purpose to Liu Fu frankly.
That is because the Helena family was forced to cede the East Prussian territory due to Germany's defeat, and the family's power was severely weakened. Whether the family can be revitalized will require the strong help of Liu Fu or the federal government.
Helena said frankly that the family has a close relationship with the German side. The German side and the main members of the family wanted to contact the federal government through her and ask if the federal government agreed to let Helena's family fund the land. The federal government provided
Planes, pilots and technicians were set up to establish a civil aviation company in Germany to revitalize the Helena family's economy and provide the Germans with some facilities for researching aircraft and training pilots.
After hearing Helena's explanation, Liu Fu did not refuse. First, as an important official of the federal government, Helena did not privately provide aircraft-related technology to her family, but informed herself of this matter, which fully explained Helena's
Na understands her identity and position very well. Liu Fu is very pleased to have such colleagues and subordinates;
Second, due to the simultaneous outbreak of war with the League of Nations member states and the United States, many routes of the "United Airlines" originally invested mainly by Liu Fu have been unable to open up, especially European routes. To develop this airline, it must
Only if there are enough routes. Now, due to the deterioration of relations with the United Kingdom, there is basically no need to consider the route from the federal territories to Europe. However, if the Germans can develop a civil airline by taking advantage of their natural advantages in Europe, first
It is also a good choice to occupy the civil aviation field in Europe.
Although Germany was a defeated country, the Allied Powers only restricted Germany's military development and did not interfere too much in the German civilian economy. On the contrary, the Allied Powers also hoped that Germany could resume economic development as soon as possible, because only Germans can make money.
It is possible to pay off those war reparations. Therefore, it is not an option for the Germans to come forward to establish a civil airline in Europe.
Moreover, Liu Fu understood very well what the German government wanted. They wanted to establish a closer connection with the federal government in this way, and then either purchase finished products to research by themselves or directly purchase technology to produce by themselves, so as to achieve the goal in a short time.
The purpose of improving the development level of German aircraft, and the Helena family is just a bridge used by the German government to communicate with the federal government. Of course, the Helena family will not use this bridge in vain. They also want to use the German government and the federal government to
The government's dual help restored the family's power again.
Liu Fu is quite supportive of Helena's family's idea. In any case, Helena is still David's wife, and has given Liu Fu and the Federation a lot of help over the years.
In terms of personal relationships, Liu Fu will also help her family overcome this hurdle. (To be continued...)
