1855 United States Tycoon

The North American Airlines plane flew up and down in front of the British, performing a big move such as hovering, climbing, and diving. At this time, a simulated target, a blimp, slowly rose into the sky. The pilot Les drove the plane towards the hydrogen airship, pointed the nose at the airship, and then two so-called " The "airborne torpedo" shot out from under the wing.

One of the two "airborne torpedoes" with long and beautiful orange tail flames missed and passed by the airship, while the other hit the target accurately and violently It exploded. The hydrogen airship was torn apart by the explosion, and then the hydrogen inside was also ignited, violently detonated, and instantly turned into a huge fireball. As for the "airborne torpedo" that failed to hit, it exploded in the air after flying for a certain distance.

"Very wonderful! Very beautiful performance." Brigadier General Weldsley took the lead and applauded. While he clapped, he turned his head and said to Donald.

Of course, this kind of aircraft can not be used to intercept the German Zeppelin at any time, because this kind of aircraft has no night flight capability at all. 2. As far as Donald knows, for a long time, no large laboratory can produce an aircraft that can perform interception missions at night. This means that if the Germans come to bomb at night, this type of fighter may not be able to come in handy.

However, this is not a big problem, because although Zeppelin can fly at night, navigating at night can become a huge problem. In that era, the navigation of the aircraft almost completely relied on the guidance of landmarks. But at night, the landmarks on the ground are completely invisible, and there is no GPS, nor Northern Dipper, Galileo, etc. in this era. Even the technology of navigating by measuring the angle between two radio base stations as in the later World War II has not yet been invented, at least, the Germans have not yet invented it. Therefore, whether the target can be found in the night bombing is a big problem. In the subsequent World War II, according to British statistics, only more than 20% of bombers could fly within five miles of the target and drop bombs during night bombing. The other bombers didn't know where they dropped their bombs. And this is the result achieved under the premise of possessing radio navigation technology.

Of course, someone has to ask, didn’t the Germans successfully drop a bomb into the city of London last night? Yes, the German's first operation was quite successful, but it was based on the fact that the British did not control the lights at night. Since that bombing, the British immediately ordered that all cities and villages in the UK be fully controlled. The street lights on the streets at night will never turn on again. Not only that, the police will patrol the streets and carefully check whether the doors of each house are closed, whether the windows are closed, and whether there are lights from their homes. Leaking from cracks in doors or windows. If you find that the family is so careless, then the police will not hesitate to give them expensive tickets. So the rich people hang thick cotton curtains behind the windows that they only use in winter, while the poor people who don't have money have a much simpler solution, that is, they don't light up the lights at all.After taking such measures, night attacks by the Germans became completely impossible. Therefore, McDonald’s aircraft does not have night flight capability, so naturally it is not a big problem.

Because of the success of the performance and the fact that the British really needed such things urgently, the British ordered a thousand of these aircraft from McDonald and named them the "Sea Breeze" fighters. At the same time, the two parties also signed a related technology transfer contract. The British agreed to use gold to pay for the goods.

A month later, the first batch of "Sea Breeze" fighter jets and the matching "Air Torpedo" were loaded on a cargo ship and sent to the UK to defend London.

...

Hitler's symptoms were much better, he was barely able to walk on his own on crutches. As for a complete recovery, or even returning to the battlefield, this is hardly something that can be done in a short time. The reason for saying almost, that is, in fact, it can be done, but for this, a lot of money must be spent, and if there is so much money, it is used to buy artillery shells or other things, for the war In other words, it was more efficient than using it on a disabled soldier, so Hitler was abandoned for treatment, thrown out of the hospital, and once again became a tramp.

Moreover, this time, Hitler's condition was even worse, much worse than when he was expelled from art school before, because his body was still very poor. As a result, almost all the factories in Germany are producing at full capacity, and the labor force is quite tense because of the large number of young people serving as soldiers on the front line. He can't find any job. Think about it, any company is willing to recruit a corporal who has served as a glorious imperial army, has shown bravery and tenacity on the battlefield, once captured five French soldiers in a battle, and served the country under severe poisoning. Fighting until he fainted, so he got a medal and his body collapsed. He needs to sit down and breathe after walking ten meters. He can no longer make money for the company. Instead, he is a fighting hero who wants to get paid? Therefore, Hitler could only rely on the little government subsidy for disabled soldiers to make ends meet. To be honest, in order to encourage soldiers to fight bravely, Germany set the standard not low when formulating subsidies for disabled soldiers. Although it is not enough for a disabled soldier to live as a master, it is enough to maintain basic food and clothing, especially for disabled soldiers like Hitler who have made military exploits and received medals. The subsidy will be received. A little more.

However, enough to maintain food and clothing refers to the time when this standard was established. At that time, the value of the Deutsche Mark was very stable and the price was not high. So with the money, although you can't eat the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, you can buy something that tastes like shit every day. The same brown bread is okay to fill your stomach. However, since the beginning of the war, prices have started to get out of control, and the price of Life products has risen rapidly. Therefore, it turned out that only Life’s subsidy for disabled soldiers can only be maintained, and it immediately became insufficient. But Hitler had no other source of life other than relying on this subsidy. Although he once again picked up the paintbrush, set up the drawing board, and put a torn hat upside down next to the drawing board, and became a street painter again, but at the end of the day, the coins in the hat were still pitiful.

On this day, Hitler blew the cold wind all day in the streets of Leipzig. When he was about to pack his things and go back, he suddenly heard a voice: "Adolf! Is that you?"

Hitler turned his head and recognized that it was one of his former comrades-in-arms called Matera. This man was injured by a landmine during the Battle of the Marne, so he was sent to the field hospital. After that, Hitler never saw him again, and he did not expect to meet him here.

Hitler noticed that Matra was on crutches, and when he took a closer look, he only had one foot.

"Matra, your right foot..."

"It was cut off. Those damn French mines were just big enough to blow up the soles of their feet." Matra was calm.

"Adolf, my friend, your complexion seems to be terrible, what's wrong with you..."

The two people talked like this, and both of them learned about each other's later experiences and current situation. Hitler knew that Matra had now entered the factory and worked as a worker on the assembly line.

"My job doesn't require me to walk around, I just need to sit there, and when every part arrives, I turn it over. It's simple, but it's also very hard. But I can't do it, because I have to eat. Ah. Bread is too expensive now, and money is becoming less and less valuable. With that little disability subsidy, sooner or later you will be starved to death!"

"Isn't it?" Hitler replied, "I now only eat two meals a day, and now the price of bread has risen so fast. If this continues, I can only eat one meal a day. You are all responsible for those. Damn the British, it’s said that their navy blocked our waterway and the frontline needs a lot of supplies, which made us lack of supplies and prices soared."

At this point, Hitler couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

"But it's not like that I heard, Adolf." Matra's voice was a little sad. "I heard that, although other supplies are indeed scarce, we are not short of food. There is no land in Germany. Shrinking, although a large number of men have gone to the battlefield, our land has not been abandoned. The women in the countryside have served the land very well. And, Adolf, you think, when the war started, this year's food was basically mature. Later, after the harvest was completed, the news said that this year was a bumper year. Germany did not need to import grain, and could even export grain to foreign countries. The war has only been fought for a few months, and other things may be in short supply, but how can it be possible for food? What about the shortage?"

"Then why the price of food has risen so much? Where did all the food go?" Hitler couldn't help asking.

"I heard that some Jews bought all the food and then hoarded it. I don't know if it is true or not," Matera said.

"Probably it is true." Hitler, who was packing up his things, stopped, thought for a moment, and replied, "Matra, you think, although there is enough food now, but if, I mean, if the war continues Just like the Seven Years’ War, most of our fertilizer plants have switched to producing explosives for several years. As a result, there will be less fertilizer available in the farmland. With the addition of women taking care of the crops, they are inferior to men in any case. In the future, most of the crop will have a poor harvest. So by that time, the food will be insufficient. Those guys must want to hoard the food now and deliberately raise the price. Even after the war is over, the whole Europe will be short of food. At that time... these damn Jews! The whole of Germany is fighting for the future of the country, but they are making a lot of money, they are not worthy of being called Germans, or even humans!"
