In the impression of ordinary people, the equipment of island countries has always been relatively small, such as pocket tanks, submarines and zero aircraft.

Moreover, all this seems to be attributed to the limited resources of the island countries, which makes them unable to develop huge equipment.

This view is actually one-sided.

The island country still has large tanks, such as type 5 tanks, which are goods with a total weight of 35 tons. Moreover, the island country also has plans for 100 tons and 150 tons of super tanks. However, in the late stage of World War II, the island country has no ability 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 trying to develop a bomber that can take off from home and bomb the United States.

The research projects of Nakajima company are advancing step by step from g5n "deep mountain", g8n "Lianshan" and g10n "Fuji Mountain".

Among them, the overall dimension of the final planned project "Mount Fuji" is similar to the B-36 "peace defender" developed by the United States at the same time. It is absolutely a super weapon. Unfortunately, the island country announced its surrender before the "Mount Fuji" had time to test fly.

The g8n "Lianshan" is similar to the B-17 "air fortress" of the United States, but it uses the Nakajima nk9k-l homaro24 engine, with a single power of 2000 horsepower, which is two-thirds larger than that of the B-17, so it is faster and has no armor protection, so it can reach a longer range under the condition of equal weight.

Unfortunately, this project has been 44 years. The United States has begun large-scale strategic bombing of island countries. Lianshan has not been put into mass production, and the four aircraft that have been produced have not been recorded in actual combat.

Now, it is the island's first attempt at heavy bombers, that is, bombers code named g5n deep mountains.

This is the four engine heavy bomber developed by Nakajima heavy industry according to the American DC-4 civil airliner. It is the first attempt of the island country. Its appearance and aerodynamic layout are similar to the American B-24 "liberator", but its size is much larger, and its takeoff weight is slightly larger than the "liberator". In terms of performance, the ammunition carrying capacity and range of the two are basically the same, but the "deep mountain" is not as good as the "liberator" in the ceiling and maximum speed. Moreover, 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 looking forward to this aircraft.

The island country is about to fall into a war with the United States, so the island country urgently needs bombers 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 bases of the island country in the Pacific!

Now, the superiors have urgent requirements for the progress of this bomber. In terms of design, it can go back and forth to Hawaii!

The deep mountain bomber has entered the final assembly stage, and the designer of the aircraft, young Kenichi Matsumura, is monitoring the process. When he saw a group of people coming, he raised his body to greet you, especially when he saw the German visitors.

"Your junker-290 bomber is our most admired aircraft. However, we believe that our current deep mountain bomber will be comparable to your bomber." Matsumura said.

When they designed, the only prototype they could use was Douglas's DC-4 airliner. However, many of their projects were aimed at the junker-290. In fact, this bomber has become the strongest aircraft of this era.

Not only the island countries, but also the B-29 of the United States is aimed at this bomber?

Hearing the words of Kenichi Matsumura, ruder nodded and said, "this level of engine needs at least 2000 horsepower."

His words made Matsumura's face look ugly.

Just now it was said that it could be comparable to the junker-290, but when it comes to the engine, Kenichi Matsumura stopped cooking. They can't make up for this short board quickly.

The engine industry in the island country has also started soon, and almost all of them imitate foreign countries.

Although the power of Nakajima nk9k-l homaro24 engine reaches 2000 HP, it has been 44 years. Now, the only engine they can use is Mars 12 engine, with a nominal power of 1480 HP. Moreover, in the high air, the horsepower will be reduced to less than 1000 HP because the supercharger is not qualified.

This engine is not qualified. Although it has not been tested, everyone knows in their hearts that it may not reach the Navy's design target of 500 km / h.

This aircraft did not have a 1870 HP Nakajima nk7a 11 type 14 cylinder star air-cooled engine until 42. Even so, it did not meet enough design indexes and finally failed to put into production.

Engine technology is not so simple as amplification. This is a systematic science. Nakajima company is mainly responsible for developing engines. Now it can't get a qualified power system of 2000 horsepower.

Looking at Kenichi Matsumura's expression, ruder secretly scolded himself for being talkative. Why? He just came to be a consultant, not a master. It's none of his business what level they have developed!

At this time, Yuantian Shi, a staff officer on one side, broke the embarrassment: "Mr. ruder, in fact, we very much hope to introduce some engines from you to equip our aircraft."

Why did you bring ruder here? In fact, the upper level has been inspired. After all, the Germans have such aircraft for a long time, and it is not a leak. The technology of the island country is not as good as that of Germany.

Island countries are asking for help.

Junker-290 engine is the most suitable for our own deep mountain bomber. It can quickly make up for our own shortcomings. Moreover, once we have this mature engine, this bomber will be quickly finalized for production and even catch up with the upcoming war!

Ruder has long regretted it. He blames himself for being talkative. Why do you ask?

Juncker -290's engine as like as two peas, and now that even Germany's own equipment is not enough, how can it be given to the island state? The FW190 is the same as the one. Ruder thought quickly in his heart, this must not work!

However, another engine, the db601 engine used on the BF109 and the improved db605, is completely OK!

Now, with Germany's great progress in jets, messeschmidt is steadily changing to jets. The output of BF109 has long been compressed to almost zero. This is also because the performance of fw190 is much better, and the air force tends to purchase fw190

In this way, the supporting engine will be in a redundant state.
