Australia, native land.
A military testing field, approximately eighty hectares in size.
Several H5 bombers...were parked within the testing field.
The German military inspection team surrounded the bombers, scrutinizing them.
The H5 bomber was a plane that had undergone test flights at the end of the 1960s. Its numerous innovations surpassed existing aircraft, and it served for over twenty years.
The fuselage displayed a streamlined design. The plane's speed was subsonic, with a range of 2400 kilometers.
Hans, the deputy of the German air force commander, Göring.
Hans: "Are you kidding?"
"This is for export?"
"You're using this as an export item?"
"You're using this to equip your affiliated legion?"
Lin Zheng utilized the Red Alert base module to produce the H-5 bombers, aiming for mass production, to equip the Dian Army, the Jin-Sui Army, and others.
Or as export warplanes, sold to the Germans.
The sales revenue from arms trade is actually staggering.
The Yankees profited greatly by selling arms to both sides during World War I. During World War II, their factories were running at full capacity, peddling weapons, draining the blood of the British Empire, ultimately becoming the global hegemon.
...
An H5 bomber took off from the airport, soaring into the sky.
The German military inspection team was seated within the plane, conducting their observations.
During this time, the Stuka dive bomber and German fighter jets were also participating in the test.
Due to the H5 bomber's top speed approaching subsonic, exceeding 900 kilometers per hour!
The Stuka dive bombers trailing behind were left far behind, their exhaust trails invisible.
The German fighter jets participating in the pursuit test were also left behind!
The H5 bomber's tail housed escort machine guns, manned by a specialized pilot, an escort gunner who aimed a 23-millimeter machine gun at the aircraft approaching for testing in the air.
Boom boom boom
Da da da...
Since it was a drill, paintballs were fired instead of live ammunition.
The paintballs struck the German fighter jet!
The German inspection team's faces within the aircraft turned grim.
After some time, the aircraft arrived at the target range on the ground.
500-kilogram aerial bombs!
They landed with pinpoint accuracy on the ground!
The artillery platform constructed on the ground!
Boom – the captured Japanese 41-mountain artillery on the platform was transformed into a twisted mess of steel.
The simulated Japanese air raid shelter was penetrated from the top, causing a collapse on the ground.
Next was the concrete bunker, which was also penetrated from the top. The rubber dummies serving as targets were blown apart and shattered!
The German inspection team hastily jotted down notes, all for reporting to the art school dropout.
"Respected and beloved dropout...the German spirit of meticulousness compels us to acknowledge!"
"The Red Alert jet bomber has a significant advantage over the German bomber!"
"In the age of the Red Alert jet bomber, German warplanes are simply unable to match its twice the speed and distance!"
"Larger payload capacity, more accurate bomb-dropping mode!"
The military inspection team could already envision the unpleasant expression on the face of the dropout Führer.
It would be an expression of envy and resentment towards Lin Zheng.
...
Military testing field.
The testing field was situated in the central desert. The central desert of Australia is vast.
Boom boom boom...
The jet-powered Five-Guy fighter plane, the renowned Five-Guy,
After the engine started, the turbine flames ignited...it took off and glided across the azure sky.
The German Shrike FW190 and the Me109 fighter jets, two propeller-driven models, and the Me262 jet fighter were simultaneously put through testing.
The several planes continuously maneuvered and engaged in aerial combat!
Firing paintballs!
Tut tut tut!
The first to be hit was the German Shrike aircraft. After being struck, the plane withdrew from the experiment.
The ones engaged in a duel were the jet-powered Five-Guy and the Me262!
Among them, the Five-Guy had a speed of 1145 kilometers per hour, a maximum altitude of 16,000 meters, and a climb rate of 75 meters per second!
The German counterpart had a speed of 870 kilometers per hour, a maximum altitude of 8,000 meters, and its climb rate was four times weaker.
After a while, the Five-Guy fighter's 37-millimeter and two 27-millimeter cannons brought down the Me262!
"The Hermes Me262 fighter, though a German jet fighter in service, is strong in firepower, but slightly inferior in maneuverability and speed."
The military inspection team meticulously recorded the observations.
The Germans were well aware of their national circumstances.
Although they had developed jet fighters in the early stages of World War II.
But they couldn't build them on a large scale.
By the end of World War II, only over 1000 had been produced, unable to salvage the war effort.
Now, the Five-Guy fighter presented to them as an export item became an enticing choice.
The military inspection team was very satisfied...and extremely fond of the two export models.
As for the art school dropout, what did it matter to them?
...
After a day,
They arrived at the testing field by the sea.
The sea-based testing field, with target ships set in place.
This time, the two export aircraft models were designed to attack vessels on the sea.
One was the famous oxygen torpedo.
The other was the renowned trace-less electric torpedo.
The oxygen torpedo...a type that utilizes pure oxygen as a fuel, significantly enhancing the torpedo's range and firing speed.
During World War II, the oxygen torpedo instilled fear in destroyers of all nations.
Lin Zheng's oxygen torpedo was even more advanced than the Japanese Type 93 torpedo, boasting double the range and firing speed.
Lin Zheng's trace-less electric torpedo, codenamed "Tuna," left no visible traces on the surface of the water.
The two export models launched towards the target ship in the distance.
Just half a minute later!
Boom –
The trace-less nature of the electric torpedo, the rapid nature of the oxygen torpedo, both hit the 5000-ton decommissioned merchant ship!
Ripping through the ship's 300-millimeter reinforced armor on the side, the torpedoes detonated in the center, leaving a gaping hole, seawater surged inwards, pushed by immense pressure, splitting the ship into two halves!
The German inspection team was very satisfied with the test!
They decided to purchase five hundred Five-Guy fighters and H5 bombers.
Lin Zheng received tons of gold reserves, along with an agreement for joint oil exploration in Algeria, North Africa.
Lin Zheng was well aware...that Algeria in North Africa contained 10 billion barrels of oil!
