Third Reich Episode 392
Ten minutes later, on the way to Harrell's home, Director Nibel was worried, but he felt relieved.
What he was worried about was how he should face Colonel Harrell, and how to perfectly narrate the story between him and Prime Minister Churchill.
What made him relieved was that after all, through his perfect speech, Churchill had completely attributed the responsibility for the accident to Harrell, which was very beneficial to Nibel.
At least, his black hat won't be lost because of this matter. This is a good treasure he uses to support his family and earn money.
After thinking about it, Nibel's driver sent him to the door of Harrell's house.
He cleared his throat, strode forward and knocked on the door politely: "Colonel Harrell? Are you at home?"
Not long after, a middle-aged woman's voice came from inside the house: "He is at home, may I ask who you are?"
"I am Nibel, Chief of the Metropolitan Police. I need to contact Colonel Harrell for some work matters. Please pass this on to him." Nibel replied politely.
"Okay, please come in and sit down."
"No, we need to go to the Prime Minister's residence, where Prime Minister Churchill is waiting for us."
"That's it, okay, I'll tell him right away." After that, the middle-aged woman hurried to the bedroom and woke up Harrell who was resting.
After a long while, Harrell slowly got up from the bed. When he saw the police chief in front of him, he suddenly became energetic and asked, "What's the matter? In such a hurry? He even ran to my house."
"Colonel, after Mosley fled to Germany, he gave a speech in Berlin. In addition, with the help of Reinhardt, he established a second overseas government. This matter was known by the Prime Minister. He is very annoyed now and is going to trouble us." The chief of police told Harrell what happened, and Harrell was very surprised when he heard it.
"Didn't I tell you to carry it down by yourself first? If you go in, it won't be a matter of minutes for me to find someone to fish you out? Why don't you listen to persuasion?" Harrell asked the police chief.
"Colonel, you can't blame me. I don't know who leaked the news. The Prime Minister seems to know some of the stories. Now he seriously suspects that the company's guards are German spies." The police chief replied helplessly.
"What? The prime minister knows about this? Then it will be troublesome! Never mind, let's go to the prime minister's mansion first, and then act according to my wink!" Harrell put on his clothes resolutely, put on his military cap, and walked out At the door of the house, I took the special car of the chief of police.
Colonel Harrell was in the back row of the car, and then he and Nibel kept whispering something until the car drove into the prime minister's residence.
The appearance of these two people is almost like two brothers who have done something wrong, discussing how to deceive the parents who are about to face.
After a while, the car arrived at the prime minister's residence in London, and Churchill was sitting in his office with a straight face, waiting for the two to appear.
Colonel Harrell was the first to enter the door. With a smile on his face, he smiled at Churchill as soon as he entered the door: "Prime Minister, the weather looks very good now..."
"Okay, I didn't come here today to chat with you. I have something more important to tell you. I think the Chief of London Police should have told you about it on the way here." Churchill said nothing. Harrell interrupted politely.
Although their personal relationship is usually very good, Harrell is even half of Churchill's confidant.
But this time Harrell made such a big mess, Churchill could no longer indulge him no matter what.
"Prime Minister, please listen to my explanation, this is an accident..."
"..."
The atmosphere fell into embarrassment. Churchill had heard enough of this word today, and he didn't want to reply.
It seems that "accident" has indeed become a standard sentence for subordinates to explain to their superiors.
"Skip this sentence and continue!" Churchill spoke after a brief silence.
After all, he still wants to know the truth of the matter. No matter what the result is, what he needs is a convincing conclusion.
"Prime Minister, the company I recruited is indeed a German spy." Harrell shocked everyone when he spoke.
"What?" Both Churchill and Director Nibel looked at Harrell in disbelief, as if they were waiting for his next explanation.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, please listen to me."
"I actually knew in advance that they were German spies, from the first moment I saw them. What I thought was to introduce them to London first, and then find the troops to tell them to eliminate them. But unfortunately, the troops were tense in those two days, and they kept going. No suitable troops were found, so the annihilation plan was delayed until they rescued Mosley."
After Harrell finished speaking, he took a long breath, then winked at Commissioner Nibel and continued: "During this period, I have been arranging people from the police station to monitor them. You can tell the Commissioner about this. Sir confirmed. But helplessly, they moved too fast and stunned our two guarding policemen, which led to the failure of our action plan."
Churchill looked at Chief Nibel after hearing this, and the other party quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, Colonel Harrell did ask me to do this."
"Then why didn't you say it at first?" Churchill asked suspiciously.
"At first I was too hasty to forget it, but now I've recalled it all after hearing what the colonel said." The chief of police continued to defend.
When Nibel said this, he was unexpectedly rigorous, as if it was true.
At least, in Churchill's eyes, the performance of his subordinate seemed to be really like the previous one because of his heart.
Chapter 596 The strongest technology in this era
In fact, when everyone saw the helicopter prototype that Anderson took out, they had already fully understood why Anderson had such a strong confidence.
Just in appearance, the helicopter that Anderson took out is a grade higher than the helicopters of the Krupp Group.
Unlike those teams from the original Austria, Anderson's German local team did not follow the fixed mode of single rotor and tail from the beginning.
This Ka-52 twin-rotor helicopter designed and developed by the Anderson team is completely different from the Fa330, which adjusts the tail rotor to offset the reaction force at different speeds of the large propeller.
It directly cancels the tail, and then counteracts the unbalanced lift generated by the rotors in another way through the relative reversal of the dual rotors.
As the two pilots equipped for the Rhein Group began to fly the prototype, Anderson also signaled several Rhein Group scientists to quickly issue instructions to the generals present.
Through the manual and on-site senses, everyone understood why Anderson dared to magnify his words before, swearing that the lift system, fuselage layout, safety and stability of the Krupp Group's Fa330 helicopter were all rubbish.
The Ka-52 produced by the Rhine Consortium actually borrowed from the design of the Soviet side during the US-Soviet arms race in later generations, and won three world-first helicopters at that time.
Although there is still a certain gap between this Ka-52 and the Ka-52 in history on many systems, and the load capacity is also worrying, this is already considered a good "cottage version".
Reflected in the flight quality is the high efficiency of the overall lift system
In terms of rotor layout, this Ka-52 has a full 12% greater lift than a helicopter with the same rotor diameter.
And because it does not use the tail rotor design, its overall size is compact, and all the power of the engine is used to drive the rotor, which improves the safety of the helicopter flying close to the ground.
And because the center of gravity is allowed to move a larger distance, its maneuverability has also increased, and better stability has been guaranteed.
In addition, the fluid power development team led by Anderson successfully came up with a rotor design with a sweep of 30° at the tip of the blade at the request of Reinhardt.This design reduces the adverse effect of air compressibility on the rotor when the rotor rotates at high speed.When hovering, the efficiency of the Ka-52 rotor is as high as 80%, which belongs to the most advanced technical level of the time.
With such a design, the Ka-52 can suddenly enter a hover from a high-speed flight state, and the position is accurate and the stability is good.This allows the Ka-52 to use its on-board weapons in a near-stationary state.This is undoubtedly of great significance to the firepower of Ka52.
"I said, this is a helicopter, right?" An expert from the Krupp Group asked slowly after swallowing.
No wonder he would ask such a question. Anyone who sees this freak-like helicopter in front of them will be so dazed.
Putting aside the unprecedented dual-rotor design, the small wings on both sides look like standard equipment for fighter jets!
Due to insufficient technology, there is no way to solve the recoil problem of adding rockets to the helicopter for the time being, so the Ka-52 also chose the mg-42 general-purpose machine gun, which is a lightweight heavy machine gun.
However, the Ka-52 is relatively generous. By installing 2 symmetrical small wings, a total of 4 modified mg-42 machine guns were installed, which is comparable to a quasi-fighter!
