“This is a state-of-the-art aircraft, an epoch-making aircraft! The Air Force of the Third Reich will become the most powerful aircraft in the world because of this aircraft. Mr. Messerschmitt, thank you for designing such an advanced aircraft for the Third Reich! Hess marveled.

“Your Excellency, I am ashamed to behave. Had it not been for His Excellency’s forward-thinking designs, our designs would not have been successful so quickly. William Messerschmitt said.

“Is the factory ready?” When will mass production be available. The Air Force side needs to be installed as soon as possible. Hess said.

“Your Excellency, the factory is ready, the production line and installation are ready. Ready for mass production. William Messerschmitt said.

“Good, then mass production starts now. How much can the production be achieved? Hess asked.

“Your Excellency, now at full power, you can produce more than one hundred and fifty a month.” Messerschmitt replied.

Hess shook his head: “No, this production is too small.” The monthly production should be increased to at least 500 aircraft! ”

“Oh God!” William Messerschmitt was completely stunned.

If you produce 500 aircraft a month, that is a full 6,000 that year! The Air Force of the Third Reich, does it need so many fighters?

Even the top brass of the Air Force of the Third Reich were equally shocked. After all, to produce so many aircraft, there must be enough pilots to drive ah! You can’t stop at the airport in the wind and rain, right?

“Guys, you must believe that the size of the Air Force of the Third Reich will continue to grow. We need a lot of fighters. The Air Force needs to expand its size and train more pilots. At the same time, more fighters are needed. Hess looked confident.

He vividly remembered that in another time and space, the Third Reich produced a full 33,000 BF-109 fighters. And that’s just this fighter.

Therefore, even if the production is increased to 500 aircraft per month, it is not much.

In future wars, if the Third Reich wants to gain a decisive advantage and seize air supremacy, it will be necessary to equip a sufficient number of BF-109 fighters.

“Yes, Your Excellency. Then we will arrange more production lines. , aiming to double production next year. The year after that, it was raised to five hundred a month. Messerschmitt said.

Hess nodded, he knew the capabilities of the Iba State Aircraft Factory, unless it entered a wartime state. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to further increase the output.

“After the Air Force receives the fighters, it must immediately carry out adaptive training. By March next year, we must have at least five fighter wings ready to fight! Hess said.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Major General Mirch replied.

The Air Force of the Third Reich consisted of two fighters in a two-plane formation, divided into long aircraft and wingmen. Two two-plane formations, that is, four aircraft as a squad. Three squads, or twelve aircraft, are a squadron. Three squadrons plus four spare aircraft, i.e. forty aircraft into one group. Three groups, or one hundred and twenty aircraft, are one wing. Five wings, or six hundred aircraft, are one air fleet.

At present, the number of pilots in the Air Force of the Third Reich has grown to nearly two thousand.

But the aircraft was not equipped much, except for some old Fokker aircraft as trainers, and did not equip other advanced fighters.

After the large-scale mass production of the BF-109 fighter, it will be able to equip such advanced combat effectiveness on a large scale in various units.

Once the number of equipment reaches 600 aircraft, it will be enough to compete with other countries at this stage.

Even if the Gauls far exceeded the Third Reich in number of aircraft, their fighter performance was too backward, and in front of the BF-109 fighters of the Third Reich, it was simply garbage. Only the ravaged portion.

“What about the bomber?” Hess looked at Major General Kesselring.

In the Air Force, Major General Kesselring was responsible for the formation of the bomber force.

“Your Excellency, the Air Force’s bombers are in full swing. There were two types of fighters, the JU-87 dive bomber and the JU-88 medium bomber. It is expected that the development work will be completed and mass production will begin early next year. Major General Kesselring replied.

Hess nodded.

“It’s good, the formation of bombers also needs to be accelerated.” Hess ordered.

A strong air force cannot have only fighters and no bombers.

JU-87 bomber, also known as Stuka dive bomber. Although the bomb load and range are not outstanding, they can dive at an angle of almost 90 degrees, so as to accurately hit the target.

World War II bomber ace pilot Hans Rudel piloted a Stuka dive bomber, blowing up 519 Mao Bear tanks, 150 artillery positions, more than a thousand other vehicles, seventy small ships, three fighters, and sank and damaged a battleship, two cruisers and a destroyer, respectively. Such a fighter can be called against the sky.

The JU-88 medium bomber was also chosen by Hess after weighing it up. This is an advanced fighter with a bomb load of three tons and a maximum range of 2,700 kilometers, and its performance is more advanced than that of the HE-111.
