1.1311 Doctor, have we seen it somewhere?

With the recommendation of Lisa, the chief female reporter of "Signal" and the participation of Leni Rivenstale, this special shooting was successfully completed.

In addition, it was a filming request from the Ministry of Ordnance and Ammunition and the Ministry of Transportation of the Imperial Ministry, and all participants also received the maximum support from relevant departments. For example, issuing special passes, free recruitment of trains, priority use of the right of way for railways, etc.

As the most important contact person and participant, female reporter Lisa also had to go with the team. The unexpected destination was not in the Imperial Ministry of Transport, but in charge of the Imperial Minister of Arms Sperer, and the "GGL Great German Locomotive Manufacturers Federation" formed by the merger of German locomotive manufacturers.

It's reasonable to think about it. After all, you have to build the most important front of the car first, and then lay the rails on site for testing.

Besides, from 1942 to the end of the war in 1945, the GGL Greater Germany Locomotive Manufacturers Federation manufactured more than 6,300 BR52s. Including the locomotives produced in the early post-war period, the total number is as high as 6,719, and a total of 17 GGL factories participated in the manufacturing of the BR52. It is one of the highest-produced railway locomotives in the world, and after the war, it lost a lot of modified locomotives to other European countries. In terms of locomotives, GGL's current technology is definitely the top.

Moreover, as part of the ambition of the Third Reich, from the moment the "Wide-Gauge Railway" plan was born, the Nazi government did not deliberately hide it. Instead, it disclosed a large number of design artworks to the people in various forms such as news videos, newspapers and magazines, and even posters. These artworks can still be seen in later generations. Especially the comparison picture with the B52-level KDL1 wartime steam locomotive, the most intuitive display of the SA3 fast train's futuristic huge body.

Now this fiery red-painted fast train is showing a shocking finish behind the slowly opening factory gate.

"Wow——" Even though I learned everything in advance from my companions who had followed Wu Chen to experience the traffic light splicing section adventure, the female reporter could not hide her excitement when she first saw the entity of the SA3 fast train. In a sense, this is her "character background".

"All development projects have been completed or are close to completion." The GGL engineering supervisor who accompanied the female reporter looked familiar.

"It's a pity that it's still a year late." But the female reporter couldn't remember where she had met.

"Ah..." The GGL engineering director understands that the female reporter sighed at the premature death of Dr. Fritz Tott, former Minister of Ordnance and Ammunition, "the father of the German Fort": "To be honest, I have been secretly hurt for a long time. Even now, I am still very grateful to the doctor for trusting me and let me preside over the design of the new train."

"We all miss Dr. Wagner very much." Hearing this, the female reporter's plot memory immediately revived. The slightly depressed middle-aged man in front of him was Richard Felix Paul Wagner, former design manager of the design office of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. He was removed from his supervisor shortly after Dr. Fritz Tott's death.

As he was talking, a tall and thin Germanic engineer rushed over.

"Ah, this is the general manager of the wide-gauge railway program, Dr. Gunther Wuns." The former design director introduced to everyone.

"Welcome to everyone, ladies and gentlemen." This rigorous German PhD in Technology Science is younger than expected.

"Doctor, have we seen it somewhere?" It sounds more like an occupational disease for female journalists.

"That might be because I have a plain public face." Dr. Gunther Vince obviously had never seen a female reporter.

"Ah, I was abrupt." The female reporter apologized just right.

"Don't go to your heart. It's all for the empire." Dr. Gunther Vince's faith in his heart was unshakable.

"Okay, doctor." The female reporter's eyes were full of praise.

"Please follow me." As project leader, Dr. Gunther Vince took over the hospitality work of the former design supervisor.

"Lao Jia, Doctor." He said goodbye politely to the former design supervisor. The female reporter led a group of photographers who seemed to have discovered the New World toward a behemoth quietly docked on the track.

"What is that?" When I saw a uniquely shaped plane slowly rising with the hydraulic platform in a special car that slowly opened the walls of the car on both sides, someone finally screamed.

"Ah, that's the FI-282 'Hummingbird' helicopter." The knowledgeable female reporter immediately recognized the advanced aircraft that was deploying the propeller.

In fact, four years after the Wright brothers' first flight, Frenchman Paul Kearney developed a full-size manned helicopter and successfully tested it on November 13 of the same year. This French helicopter was called "the first helicopter of mankind". At that time, people also gave it a nickname "flying bicycle". This simple helicopter not only relied on its own power to 0.3 meters off the ground and completed vertical liftoff, but also flew continuously for 20 seconds, achieving a milestone free flight.

In 1936, after making many improvements to the early helicopters, the German Foxconn publicly displayed its own FW-61 helicopter, and a year later the aircraft set several world records. In 1938, the young German girl Hannah Lech flew a twin-rotor helicopter, and she performed a perfect flight performance at the Berlin Stadium, which is recognized as the world's first helicopter to successfully test flight in the true sense.

After the outbreak of World War II, helicopters were mostly used in the field of military reconnaissance. In July 1940, Anton Flettner, Germany

The prototype of the new carrier-based helicopter FI-282 developed by GmbH was launched. In early 1941, the aircraft began to undergo test flights, nicknamed "Humming-Bird" and performed well. In order to allow the helicopter to be on board, Flett organized pilots to fly the FI-282V5 helicopter for take-off and landing test take-off and landing test take-off and landing test zones in the 4x4-meter landing area marked on the German Navy cruiser. The FI-282 can take-off and land in such a small area, even at night. The helicopter also made the Germans overjoyed. The military immediately ordered 15 pre-production models and 30 formal production models, mainly assembled in the new factories of Johannester and Badttorz. The Germans used FI

-282 small helicopters conducted reconnaissance in offshore waters to obtain important intelligence information. By the summer of 1943, about 20 FI-282s were taken off the line. After these aircraft were delivered to the German Navy, they followed the fleet to fight over the Mediterranean, Aegean and Baltic Seas. They were not only used as anti-submarine aircraft to observe the Allied submarines around the fleet, but also as transport helicopters, providing vertical supplies to the ships. As the first German carrier-based helicopter, several FI-282s also played a role in the defense battle in Berlin, but were eventually destroyed by the Soviet Red Army's air defense artillery. Before the end of World War II, the German army destroyed most of the remaining FI-282 helicopters, and only three prototypes were captured by the United States and the Soviet Union.

Fl-282 helicopter: The engine is a BMW-Bramo Sh 14A 7-cylinder radial engine with a maximum of 160 horsepower, 2 crew members, 6.56 meters long, 2.2 meters high, 760 kg net weight, 1,000 kg maximum take-off weight, 150 kilometer maximum speed. Manual cruising speed is 80 kilometers per hour, and the limit speed is 60 kilometers per hour in automatic mode. The range is 168 kilometers and the endurance time is 2 hours and 5 minutes.

It is further subdivided into two types: the land reconnaissance aircraft Fl 282 B-0 (no cockpit glass) and the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft Fl 282 B-1 (plexiglass glass canopy).

"Nothing can't be hard for you, ma'am." Dr. Gunther Vince smiled approvingly: "This is a bullet-proof armored FI-282 B-2 V1 specially made for this plan. Who are the drivers, do you guess?"

"It won't be..." The female reporter's expression said everything.

"Hi, Lisa!" The female pilot of the FI-282 B-2 V1 bulletproof armored helicopter first recognized an old acquaintance.
