Chapter 892 Military Parade (3)

The helicopter formation flew over followed by the propeller fighter and bomber formations.

More than a thousand BF-109, FW-190, A-1 attack aircraft, IL-10 attack aircraft, mosquito bombers, Junkers Ju-88, HE-177, ME264, B-36 and other fighters formed a mighty force The formation flew across the sky, covering the sky and the sun.

"Oh God!" There were exclamations from the auditorium again. This sentence should be the most spoken sentence by them today. It's no wonder that everyone was so gloomy, because they were really stunned by the five B-36s flying in the sky. "Is this, is this still a plane?!" Compared with these Big Macs, the four-engine bombers in front are simply the size of a child and an adult. How did the Germans send such giant monsters into the sky? How many bombs does this one have to hold? Thirty tons? Or forty tons? Or fifty tons? !

But before everyone could recover from the shock, the commentator said excitedly. "Everyone, what you see next will be another epoch-making weapon. Their appearance will end the era of piston fighters. These piston fighters will soon disappear into the dust of history. From now on, or more accurately, human beings The aviation industry has entered the jet age!”

Yannick on the auditorium smiled. Who wrote this? Are you not afraid of being slapped in the face in the future?

Will piston fighter jets really disappear? After World War II, propeller aircraft began to fall into disfavor. Except for those indirect combat aircraft, such as early warning aircraft, transport aircraft, etc. (and these are basically turboprop engines, and most piston engines have been eliminated), the only famous propeller fighter developed after the war is the A-1 attack aircraft. .

Of course, the propeller fighters of later generations are not useless, and can still come in handy under certain circumstances.

There were rumors in later generations that the US military planned to re-purchase propeller-driven fighter jets; relevant military experts revealed the mystery: This was due to the US military's need to implement asymmetric anti-terrorism operations. Compared with jet fighters, propeller fighters have a small fuselage, small turning radius, and fast climb, making them suitable for mountain operations; compared with helicopters, propeller fighters have a larger bomb load and longer stay in the air, allowing them to continuously attack targets; in addition, propeller fighters Fighter aircraft have excellent ultra-low-altitude flight capabilities. They can fly dozens or even tens of meters above the ground and approach enemy targets covertly.

In terms of war costs, propeller fighters also have huge advantages. The upgraded P-51 Mustang costs approximately $6 million, which is only 4% of the cost of the F-22 Raptor. In addition, the training period for propeller fighter pilots is short, and they can generally participate in combat after two years of training. In terms of battlefield support, propeller fighter jets can take off and land with only a dirt runway of more than 400 meters long.

Of course, the propeller fighter aircraft that the US military wants to purchase is by no means the "old-fashioned aircraft" of the year, but a completely reborn "new Mustang": the propeller blades are made of composite materials, and the power is replaced by a turbine engine; the airborne equipment uses advanced integrated displays; An autopilot and satellite navigation system are installed.

"This jet aircraft breaks through the performance limits of piston aircraft, flying faster and higher. This jet fighter represents the future trend, and their development potential will be unlimited." As the commentator said , there was a huge roar in the distant sky, and flight formations flew in quickly. The speed instantly made everyone on the viewing platform widen their eyes.

"God, this is so fast?! The flying speed must be at least over 800 kilometers per hour!"

"I think it's at least over 900 kilometers per hour!"

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, rows of MiG-15 and F-86 formations flew over the auditorium. Followed closely by B-47 and B-52 jet bombers. Although the B-36 also far exceeded the B-52 in terms of fuselage size, what surprised everyone was that the Germans not only built jet fighters, but even bombers!

The military parade came to an end when the B-52 bombers flew over.

The ordinary people watching this military parade were all extremely excited. Such a shocking military parade brought them not only visual shock, but also pride and emotion inspired deep in their hearts; the humiliation and anger after World War I It seemed to be swept away at this moment.

The victorious countries (Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and the United States) that once insulted Germany have either become Germany's little brothers, or they have been pushed to the ground and rubbed crazily by Germany, and are on the verge of death. Today, Germany seems to be standing on the pinnacle of victory. The German army is already the most powerful force in the world, and the entire empire is protected by this force.

Compared with the ordinary people who were joyful, singing and dancing, the leaders of other countries participating in this military parade were not happy at all. Not only are they not happy, many people even feel trembling in their hearts!

From the outbreak of the war to the present, the German army's combat effectiveness in punching Poland, kicking Britain and France, sweeping across the Soviet Union, and beating the United States has been witnessed by all the world. And in this military parade, they saw the indomitable momentum and the fearlessness exuded by every German soldier. It was so shocking and... scary! How could such an army be victorious? How could such an army lose the battle? !

Many national leaders subconsciously compare their most elite troops with the German army, but they sadly find that no matter how they compare, their country's troops are far inferior to these German troops. If they encounter them on the battlefield, then The ending is self-evident.

If it was only the huge gap in the quality of soldiers that made people feel sad, then when the Germans' weapons and equipment that were so advanced that they were outrageous were displayed, the heads of these countries were left with only despair. When these countries were still fiddling with large-caliber and even medium-caliber artillery, their missiles could hit the Soviet Union and the United States at home.

When they were fiddling with piston fighters, their jet fighters had already been produced, and not just one, but several!

Who knows if Germany has hidden more terrifying weapons? !

And their navy, although the naval fleet could not participate in the land parade, their record of annihilating most of the US and Soviet fleets has long been spread all over the world!

If the German soldiers are like fierce tigers, these advanced weapons and equipment have added pairs of wings to these tigers - like adding wings to a tiger!

How to deal with such troops? How can they be defeated? !

The Canadian Prime Minister only felt that his calves were shaking so badly that if it weren't for the secretary next to him supporting him, he would probably not be able to get up.

But in his heart, he was madly glad that he had withdrawn from this war early. Although the price paid was a bit heavy, it was better than being blown into pieces.
