Chapter 944: Dream of bombing America

In the common people’s impression, island nations’ equipment has always been relatively compact, such as pocket tanks and submarines, such as zero aircraft, all of which are compact.
Moreover, all this seems to be attributed to the limited resources of island countries, which has caused them to be unable to develop bulky equipment.
This view is actually one-sided.
The island country still has large tanks, such as the Type 5 tank, which is a total weight of 35 tons. Moreover, the island country has plans for 100-ton and 150-ton super tanks, but these are all in the late World War II. Now, the island countries are unable to develop such heavy weapons.
In terms of bombers, the island countries have been sparing no effort to pursue them.
Especially after the outbreak of the Pacific War, they have been working hard to develop a bomber that can take off from the mainland and bomb the United States.
The research projects of Nakajima Company are advancing step by step from G5N "Deep Mountain", G8N "Lianshan", and G10N "Mount Fuji".
Among them, the final planned project "Mount Fuji" is similar in size to the B-36 "Peace Defender" developed by the United States at the same time. It is definitely a super weapon. It is a pity that "Mount Fuji" will not be able to test flight in the future, and the island nation announced its surrender.
The G8N "Lianshan" is similar to the American B-17 "Sky Fortress", but it uses the Nakajima NK9K-LHomaro24 engine, which has a single power of 2,000 horsepower, which is three points larger than the B-17. Second, it is faster, and there is no armor protection, so it can reach a longer range under the same weight.
It is a pity that this project has been 44 years old. The United States has begun to carry out large-scale strategic bombings on island countries. The "Lianshan" has not been put into mass production, and there are no records of participating in actual combat for the 4 already produced.
And now, it is the island country’s first attempt at a heavy bomber, the bomber code-named G5N Deep Mountain.
This is the four-engine heavy bomber developed by Nakajima Heavy Industries based on the American DC-4 civil aviation airliner. It is the first attempt of an island nation. The appearance and aerodynamic layout are similar to the American B-24 "Liberator", but the size is much larger. The take-off weight is also slightly larger than that of the "Liberator". In terms of performance, the ammunition capacity and range of the two are basically the same, but the "Deep Mountain" is not as good as the "Liberator" in terms of ceiling and maximum speed, and it does not meet the requirements of the Navy, so it has not been put into use in history.
Now, this aircraft is in the development stage, which belongs to the trial production stage of the prototype. Nakajima Company is quite expecting this aircraft.
The island country is about to fall into a war with the United States, so the island country urgently needs a bomber that can bomb the United States. Although it may not fly from the island country to the United States, it can also fly from some island country bases in the Pacific!
Now, the superiors are very urgent for the progress of this bomber. In terms of design, it can travel to and from Hawaii!
The deep mountain bomber has entered the final assembly stage, and the designer of this aircraft, the young Kenichi Matsumura, is monitoring the progress next to him. He saw a group of people coming, and he lifted his body to greet you, especially when I was even more happy when I saw the German visitors.
"Your Junker-290 bomber is our most admired aircraft. However, we believe that our current deep mountain bomber will definitely be comparable to your bomber," said Matsumura Kenichi.
When they were designing, the only prototype they could use was the Douglas DC-4 airliner. However, many of their projects were aimed at the Junker-290. This bomber has in fact become the most powerful of this era. s plane.
Not only an island country, why is the US B-29 also aimed at this bomber?
Hearing what Kenichi Matsumura said, Rudel nodded, and then said: "This level of engine requires at least two thousand horsepower."
His words made Ken Matsumura's face difficult to look.
I just said that it is comparable to Junker-290, but when it comes to the engine, Kenichi Matsumura stops cooking. They can't quickly make up for this shortcoming.
The engine industry in island countries has just started, almost all imitating foreign countries.
Although the Nakajima NK9K-LHomaro24 engine has a power of 2,000 horsepower, it has been 44 years ago. Now, the only thing they can use is the Mars 12 engine with a nominal power of only 1480 horsepower, and it’s high in the sky. Because the supercharger is not qualified, the horsepower will drop to less than 1000 horsepower.
This engine is not qualified. Although it has not yet been tested, everyone knows in their hearts that it may not reach the Navy's 500 km/h design target.
This aircraft did not have a 1,870-horsepower Nakajima NK7A11 14-cylinder star-shaped air-cooled engine until 42 years ago. Even so, it did not allow the aircraft to reach sufficient design targets and ultimately failed to be put into production. .
Engine technology, there is no such simple amplification, this is the science of the system, Nakajima is mainly responsible for the development of the engine, and now it is unable to produce a qualified power system with two thousand horsepower.
Seeing Matsumura Kenichi's expression, Rudel secretly scolded himself for talking too much, saying why, he was only here to be a consultant, not a master, what level of development they have reached, it is his own business!
At this moment, the staff member Gen Tian Mi broke the embarrassment: "Mr. Rudel, in fact, we very much hope that we can import some engines from your side and equip them on our aircraft."
Why bring Rudel here? In fact, the upper echelons have already instructed them. After all, the Germans have already had this kind of aircraft, and it is not a leak. The technology of the island country is simply inferior to the technology of Germany.
The island country is demanding ~EbookFREE.me~ The Junkers-290 engine is the most suitable for its own deep mountain bomber, quickly making up for its own shortcomings, and once this mature engine is available, this The bomber will be quickly finalized for production, and even be able to catch up with the upcoming war!
Rudel regretted it a long time ago, and he blamed himself for talking too much. Why?
The Junker-290 engine is exactly the same as the FW190. Now that Germany’s own equipment is not enough, how can it be given to an island country? Rudel thought quickly in his heart, this is definitely not working!
However, another engine, the DB605 improved from the DB601 engine used on the BF109, is completely fine!
Now, with Germany’s tremendous progress in jets, Messerschmitt is steadily transforming into jets. The output of BF109 has been compressed to almost zero. This is also because the performance of FW190 is much better. , The Air Force tends to purchase FW190.
In this case, the supporting engine is in a redundant state.
