Chapter 1428: hovercraft

After Cyric crossed over, the biggest golden finger was the various military knowledge in his brain. He knew the whole process of World War II, was familiar with every celebrity in World War II, and was also familiar with the direction of various weapons. After Rick crossed over, he has been taking shortcuts, all kinds of weapons, as long as he gives a little pointer, there will be rapid development.
In terms of transportation, Cyric will certainly not miss the hovercraft.
Speaking of the hovercraft, probably most of the information will mention Christopher Cockrell. In 1959, the British Cockrell built the world's first hovercraft. It set off from Calais, France in two hours. Successfully crossed the English Channel in five minutes, causing a sensation in the world.
However, it is impossible for any kind of equipment to appear all at once. It is like saying that Watt is the inventor of the steam engine. In the most accurate way, Watt only improved the steam engine.
Before Cockrell, someone had already begun to develop this kind of tool. If you say it earlier, Dagober-Müller had developed this kind of device, but unfortunately, it was not in time.
Due to his long-term contact with torpedoes, Muller was obsessed with torpedoes, the "weapon of a weak country" and the "magic weapon for small ships against large ships." After the idea was mature and official support was obtained, he began to preside over the construction of a ship in 1915 "Experimental glider" as an effective vehicle for torpedoes.
His plan is to adopt the "three plus one" power configuration scheme. Three large 120-horsepower engines will be used to provide propulsion, while the fourth 65-horsepower engine will provide lift. The lift generating engine is an air compressor that can theoretically run at a flow rate of 450 cubic meters per minute. The plan design is expected to have a maximum speed of 32 knots.
When it came out, he was sent to Dubrovnik by the public. However, when he returned home, he was angrily discovered that his precious racing boat had been dismantled into iron plates.
He was depressed at that time, and that was how it felt to be suppressed. But he didn't feel depressed for long, after which the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed.
Later, it was Levkov, the Soviet, who went further. His ship had a fully enclosed cockpit and powerful self-defense firepower. Unfortunately, it still didn't bear fruit.
When Cockrell succeeded, it was because he proposed a new model of fully-lifted hovercraft. Since the hull can be completely out of the water, the speed can be greatly improved.
However, it was already a cold war.
In terms of technology, there are no obstacles at all. In this era, Germany already has high-speed high-horsepower diesel engines and advanced processing technologies. What Germany needs is ideas.
The so-called hovercraft refers to the ship sailing on an air cushion. Ordinary ships sail in water. The resistance of water is very large. Moreover, it is not simply closed in proportion to the power of the ship. As the speed increases, the resistance will show up. It grows geometrically, so no matter how powerful the ship is, there is a limit to its final speed.
Those who can reach more than 30 knots are the strongest in this era.
The hovercraft uses a blower to create an air cushion, allowing the ship to sail on the air cushion. This way, it is completely separated from the water and has no resistance, so the speed is quite fast. How to make the air cushion is the technical difficulty of the hovercraft.
Because it is sailing on an air cushion, it can not only sail on water, but also sail on land. It is definitely a weapon for landing on the beach!
If we talk about shortcomings, it has high requirements for sea conditions, and it cannot navigate when there are strong winds and waves, but in the calm Caspian Sea, it is simply too easy!
Compared with the ground-effect aircraft of later generations, it is still a pediatric department, but in this era, the hovercraft is definitely a kind of cross-age equipment, just like the German rockets and tiger tanks!
And this new equipment was sent directly to Iran to help Iran cross the Caspian Sea and make a cross-sea landing!
The Iranians are absolutely grateful.
On the coast of the Caspian Sea, the small city of Chalus.
The Iranian army is waiting here quietly. Most of them are lightly armed infantry. Almost all weapons are made in Germany. After the Soviet invaders were driven away, Iran was almost completely Germanized.
The Iranian army already has advanced weapons such as the Panther 2 tanks, but they are not in their queue now. They only have one wheeled infantry fighting vehicle. This is entirely based on the advice provided by the German side.
At this moment, at the front of the queue, Prince Pahlavi in ​​a military uniform was full of vigor. Unlike others, there was a saber hanging around his waist, making him look more like a knight in the past.
King Reza Khan is also here, his eyes are full of fatherly light looking at his son.
In this operation, Prince Pahlavi was the commander-in-chief. It is said that he only needs to stay in the rear command. However, Prince Pahlavi decided to step onto the battlefield.
A commander who has never been to the battlefield is unqualified. Prince Pahlavi is trying to experience himself through the battlefield, so that he can truly grow up!
I heard that the son of Führer Cyric also went to the front and became a glorious imperial warrior. The prince himself must be like him!
The princess with a pie-faced face is full of upset. She has repeatedly persuaded her brother. On the battlefield, the bullet does not have long eyes. Prince Pahlavi is going to go to the battlefield this time. It is too dangerous. This is not mature. The practice of politicians.
It is a pity that Prince Pahlavi insisted on going his own way and had to do so.
She looked at her watch again. The appointed time had arrived. What about the mysterious transport devices promised by the Germans? Why haven't you come?
There is only a small river near here~EbookFREE.me~ and it is still a dead-headed river, which is not connected to other rivers. The Germans' cross-sea landing tools must be ships and other equipment.
Moreover, the speed of the ship is very slow. They must have entered Iranian territory long ago to get to the coast here, but they have not been notified.
At this moment, there was a huge roar from the desert behind him. The sound was rather dull, as if a huge bison was advancing.
When they looked past the voice, a unique equipment appeared before their eyes.
Unlike a boat, there is no streamlined design of any boat. The whole is rectangular, and the sides are all black rubber-like things. The air seems to be blowing inside, and the air is constantly blowing outwards. I saw the weeds swaying nearby.
It's not like a ship, it's like an airplane, it can fly, but it doesn't have wings!
The two huge fans at the rear are even more noticeable.
