Chapter 592: New Weapons (Part 2)

Anderson's voice seemed to still linger in the experimental meeting hall.

Seemingly ignoring the whispering discussions among many Krupp Group experts, Anderson still looked proud, as if he had just done something very cool.

"Okay, let's start the helicopter finalization test meeting now. Everyone knows that the war situation is urgent, so don't waste time." Seeing several elderly experts from the Krupp Group preparing to stand up and reprimand Anderson, Reinhardt

He quickly cleared his throat, clapped his hands vigorously and shouted.

The head of state's personal speech was just the right time to block several Krupp Group experts who had lost their patience and were about to show their senior qualifications and question Anderson, a young man.

Most of these experts were senior scientists at the Austrian aircraft factory. Because the Krupp Group was the first to win over them during the merger of Germany and Austria, they have now become a member of the Krupp Group.

Austria's aviation technology has never experienced the disruption caused by the Treaty of Versailles before, and is pretty good in many fields.

This finalization experiment meeting of the Air Force's new weapons is also an opportunity for these scientists to showcase their results.

This is a groundbreaking achievement!

But unexpectedly, just when they were about to make a grand statement and make a speech, a young man suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pointed at everyone's pride and shook his head.

The lift system that works in a small area, the new fuselage layout, and the safety and stability of helicopters. These are all the latest achievements. Let alone pointing out problems, I am afraid that this young guy has never even seen them before.

.

Following the guidance of several men in suits, the group arrived at an open-air airport located further inside, surrounded by high walls.

Here, dozens of government personnel, as well as professional scientific personnel from Rheinland and Krupp, were sent to transport the prototype helicopter.

People from the two major companies covered the prototype tightly with military green canvas and placed it in a detachable box. Looking at the huge sealed box containing the new weapons, everyone felt excited.

It can be seen that the two giant companies have made careful preparations for this display.

This will be a historic breakthrough. From today on, the Air Force will have a weapon and equipment that can fly at low altitudes several meters above the ground, fly at low speeds from hovering, and maneuver without changing the direction of the aircraft's nose.

Especially in small areas, this weapon can also take off and land vertically, and will no longer be limited by fixed-position airport factors!

Although the first generation of military helicopters may not be perfect yet, many generals present have discovered their potential value in the future.

Ground attack, airborne landing, weapons transportation, logistics support, battlefield rescue, reconnaissance and patrol, command and control, communications, anti-submarine mine clearance, short-distance transportation, hoisting equipment...

There are so many possibilities and uses that it has become increasingly fascinating.

In war, the victory is naturally inseparable from strategy and tactics, but economy and technology will also play a vital role!

When more and more countries in the world began to imitate the tactics of the German armored forces, vigorously develop tanks and combat vehicles, and try to narrow the gap with the German army in terms of army weapons. The emergence of military helicopters undoubtedly allowed the German Air Force to once again possess

have more means than their opponents.

"The various technologies on the Fa330 have cost billions of dollars in total. One hundred and seventy top scientists from all major provinces of the empire have participated. It took nearly a year to break through and improve the technology." Krupp Group

The introducer sounded excited and praised with a hint of intoxication: "Our breakthrough progress in helicopter equipment is enough to be recorded in history books. I believe that he will bring more than just victory to the Allies in the future!"

"Medical rescue, disaster relief, emergency rescue, hoisting equipment, geological exploration, forest protection and fire extinguishing, aerial photography..." Many generals were reading the introduction brochure distributed to them by Krupp Group staff.

After reading it, everyone couldn't help but sigh at the bright future of this new equipment.

"This is a historic innovation!"

Following the introduction's admiration, the two outstanding pilots who had been assigned to the Krupp Group by the Air Force three months ago walked to the Krupp helicopter, which had opened its canvas to reveal its beautiful tail, and began their operations.

.

Vertical take-off and landing, half-day suspension, instant steering, engine output, operational responsiveness... every test has shown that this is an absolutely qualified and effective equipment that can withstand a lot of tests.

In particular, the mg42 light machine gun installed on the helicopter provides relatively strong firepower with not much weight but sufficient power under the constraints of the helicopter's limited transport capacity.

After all, the mg42 general machine gun is called a light machine gun, but it is actually a heavy machine gun. It is used to equip helicopters, and it is also the most ideal choice among all current additional weapon options.

Such an arrangement is indeed the result of a lot of research. Many generals have gradually nodded their heads in tacit approval of the Krupp Group's arrangement.

Not only the air force generals, but also many army generals who had never learned about military helicopters before were so wide-eyed that they almost vomited.

Perhaps in front of enemy positions filled with anti-aircraft and large-caliber machine guns, this air force equipment cannot be directly deployed on the front line like Stuka and Messerschmitt.

But helicopters have uses for helicopters!

For example, transport a small number of elite personnel and ammunition to a place that is difficult to reach, and establish a very terrifying nail defense.

When a company, or even a platoon, of German soldiers suddenly appears on an enemy's rear choke road leading to the front line, the impact caused may even affect the outcome of the front line battle!

When technology is upgraded in the future, if the helicopters become larger, a dozen of them can transport a company, or even a dozen of them can transport a battalion. By then, this will become a cheating existence...

..

Now that the Krupp Group has made a qualified first-generation helicopter that can sustain operations, everyone has reason to believe that it will definitely make a better upgraded version in the future...

But after the last test ended, bursts of warm applause broke out in the entire observation area.

Everyone knows that the answers delivered by the Krupp Group have reached the most ideal situation for the scoring standards in this era.

Unless the products of the Rhine Consortium can even break through this scoring standard, otherwise... not to mention people from the Krupp Group, even the many generals who have seen the Fa330 will definitely stand by Krupp.

On the Bo Group's side.

As long as the helicopter produced by the Krupp Group can be used flexibly, its role will be comparable to that of an infantry division!
