Chapter 6 Gunships

"I basically agree with Mr. Krupp's point of view," Zhang Fan said.

"But did you think that if we attack from the top, we can easily knock out these fortress guns?"

"This is impossible. The top area is too small, and direct artillery can't hit the top at all." Krupp retorted.

"What if the attack was launched from the sky?" Zhang Fan asked

"Sky, that's impossible. The accuracy of bombing can't be achieved at all, unless the artillery is aimed. Wait, you mean to put the artillery on the plane and attack from the sky," Krupp said with interest.
"Mr. Krupp really knows everything. I call it a flying fire-breathing dragon-gunboat. Think about it, as long as you put all kinds of continuous fire and large artillery on a heavy transport plane, use side fire and lighthouse hovering It can continue to suppress the enemy for a long time at low altitude, and the gunship machine responds quickly, can do long-distance maneuvers, and the cost is low, and can be mass-produced. With flares, it can bombard local positions at night. ! No matter if the opponent is a tank or a fortress, even a skirmisher line, they will all be wiped out by this attack from the sky!"

"My God! This is really an amazing idea. It sounds very feasible, but I don't know much about airplanes, so I need Heinkel's advice. But I'm personally very interested in your opinion."

"Mr. Krupp, I told you directly, as long as you build the prototype and give it to me for modification, I guarantee that you will see a real sky fortress, and its power is absolutely beyond your imagination!"

"Okay, since Colonel Zhang Fan is so confident, I will contact Heinkel Company to develop a prototype immediately. However, the development of the prototype takes time. Although it is simply to put the artillery on the aircraft, it also needs to re-adjust the aircraft and artillery. I estimate it will take at least 4 months to carry out the modification design. This may affect my super cannon plan”

"Mr. Krupp can continue to study the super-cannon project, but I believe that the final winner must be the gunship. I hope that after my project wins, a new high-tech research institute will be jointly established by Mr. Krupp and Heinkel. For a high-tech arms company, I will provide various transformations and opinions and support. Of course, I need to own 60% of this company,” Zhang Fan said.

"60% is too high, after all, the company was founded by myself and other shareholders," Krupp said with a frown.

"60% is not high. After all, I am just a shareholder and will not express any opinions on the company's operations, and I will continue to provide some new solutions and technical support you need, and the latest weapons can also be carried out here. verify."

After thinking about it, Krupp felt that what Zhang Fan said was also reasonable. After all, Krupp was an engineer, and he paid more attention to the various technical and material supports provided by Zhang Fan.After all, many technologies are limited by materials, and Zhang Fan's patron saint, Zero, can use special abilities to solve these material problems. Of course, Krupp doesn't know that Zero's ability is another more magical thing.But it is the same for humans in this world, and it is something that modern technology cannot do at all.

"Okay! Colonel Zhang Fan, I agree with you, but your shareholding must be reduced to 50%, and you cannot be the chairman of the company!" Krupp compromised

"Okay! No problem." Although the shareholding has dropped, even if it drops to 50%, it is money blown by the wind, and who knows what will happen after the war. It is very likely that the entire company will be swallowed up by the allies.Taking a share now is just to better transform some of my ideas into actual items to strengthen Zero's combat effectiveness!
After talking with Krupp, Zhang Fan sent Krupp away, and agreed to test whether the gunship machine in his mind could achieve the performance they wanted after 4 months.Of course, if they have any questions during this period, they can come to consult Zhang Fan, and Zhang Fan will do his best to provide relevant support!

After Krupp left, Zero appeared next to Zhang Fan: "Captain, why did you cooperate with this human to develop an aircraft? You still have to waste precious energy to modify that prototype. Why, Zero doesn't understand!"

"Zero!" Zhang Fan touched Ling's head and said, "We can't just look at our contribution, but also at the future harvest. The plan we sent can greatly strengthen the empire's air-to-ground power, which will have a huge impact on the future." War is a huge help, and outstanding performance can attract the attention of the head of state, making the empire invest a lot of resources in the company we are about to own. I need these resources to develop various weapons and equipment to strengthen our ships! This is called having You have to give up!"

"If you give up, you will gain! Zero still doesn't understand, but as long as it is the captain's order, Zero will obey!" Zero said to the captain seriously.

"Hehe!" Zhang Fan smiled and pinched Ling's little face and said, "It's too serious, Ling, you have to learn to smile often, it's cuter when you smile!"

"Cute! Zero doesn't understand." Zero shook his head, "But Zero is thinking about it!" After saying that, Zero hid his figure!
Seeing Ling hiding in his own world again, Zhang Fan smiled helplessly.

"Okay, the day's work is about to start again!" Zhang Fan moved his body and started physical exercise.Although Zhang Fan's physical fitness has reached the limit of human beings under zero enhancement before, Zhang Fan knows that this is just physical fitness, not real combat power.He also needs constant exercise to fully realize the potential of this body.

Time flew by during Zhang Fan's physical training and navy run-in training.After more than half a year of training, this specially prepared fleet has begun to take shape.And the orders from the Navy Headquarters followed suit.

On May 1943, 5, the German Army's blitzkrieg was very sharp!Germany did not attack France's Maginot Line. This kind of permanent fortress is simply a hard bone that cannot be chewed, and only a fool will confront it head-on!At this point, Zhang Fan has always scoffed at this super fortress project in France.As long as the general commanding the army is not a fool, he will definitely not confront the Maginot Line with hard steel!
So Germany made a clever detour. Germany directly detoured to attack Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, and bypassed the Maginot Line of Defense to cross the river from Sedan into France.The German army used the rapid raid capability of the armored division to directly push these three small countries.By May 3, the German army had gone straight to the English Channel, trapping 5 British and French troops in the small town of Dunkirk.Originally, it would be possible to wipe out the enemy army by sending out an armored division to attack, but the mustache head of state didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he ordered the armored division to surround and not attack, and instead listened to that fat Goering and wanted to use it. The air force defeated the 21 British and French allied forces.
