Hoffman explained patiently: "I told you last time to study General Ludendorff's "Total War" seriously, but I don't know if you have read it. In such a battle that will set the future for the German nation, In a national war for a thousand years of destiny, all forces should be used by us. Facing the resources and population of the Allies, the empire does not have an advantage. Only by mobilizing the most basic and broadest people can we win. Since Women have been allowed to serve, and it is natural to have some female officers. This can not only boost morale and inspire fighting spirit, but also enhance the close relationship between the entire nation. Stalin had a large number of female soldiers and officers, and none of his men expressed any objection. The British People and Americans have female officers and officers, and their military also accepts it. Why can't we, the German nation, do the same?"
When saying these words, Hoffman thought to himself: Could it be that I really have the potential to be a politician? I actually learned these speeches that are righteous, occupy the commanding heights of public opinion, and have sufficient inflammatory power in just two days.
After listening to this long speech, Keitel was a little frightened and thought: This matter cannot be simply compared. The British, American and Soviet countries do not have the constraint of a strong officer corps, but this cannot be said in front of so many people. exit.
During the stalemate, Helen suddenly interrupted: "Führer, can I really have a chance to become an officer?"
"Of course. You see, women were not allowed to go to college before, but now there are not only college students but also female scientists; women were not allowed to be in politics before, but now women not only have the right to vote, but there are also female politicians." Hoffman elaborated as he explained , giving another vivid example, "Do you know Hannah Lachey?"
Upon hearing the name, Helen's eyes sparkled and she nodded heavily. This was a famous female test pilot of the Third Reich. In 1941, Goering awarded her a diamond-level air force pilot certificate on behalf of the Air Force. The next day, Hitler announced that she would be awarded the honorary air force captain rank and the Iron Cross Second Class. Jeshunnek next to him thought to himself that he was lucky that he didn't say anything stupid just now, otherwise he would be embarrassed now.
"Women like him who have made outstanding contributions are qualified to become officers. If you continue to work hard, you will also have the opportunity." Hoffman glanced at the senior generals who still had hesitant expressions on their faces. After understanding the resistance, he sighed and said, "Forget it, let's communicate first according to Marshal Keitel. We have broken many traditions in order to win the war. I hope the generals can understand my painstaking efforts."
"The head of state is wise."
"By the way, what is the current position of Captain Becker, who shot down three enemy planes today?" Hoffman also did not forget the Air Force hero who scored three consecutive victories today.
"He is the captain of the 4th Group of the NJG1 Wing, our ace pilot. Counting today's results, he has more than 30 kill records." Kamhuber quickly expressed his credit for Captain Becker.
"The Air Force needs such brave and resourceful commanders." Hoffman later learned that when Becker was chasing the third plane, he waited until within 200 meters before firing to ensure the hit rate. Phil's cowardice is a stark contrast. He turned his head, and this time he said to Jeshunek: "Let's examine it. If the situation permits and the conditions are met, we can consider him as a candidate for the new co-captain of the JG26 wing."
Although the head of state said that he would "check it out", this was just a routine matter. Everyone knew that Captain Becker's promotion was a certainty. Kamhuber was very happy about this. He originally wanted to promote this combat hero who saved face for the Air Force. Now it would be best if the head of state directly spoke out. He glanced at Jeshunek, who also nodded repeatedly. Obviously Strongly agree. At this time, news came again that the Lancaster that finally escaped was shot down by another night fighter. In order to escape this last fish, Colonel William mobilized 5 fighter jets to pursue and intercept it.
"Gentlemen, after watching today's air defense operations, we need to reflect on the situation of counter-air attacks." Hoffman said, "Intelligence shows that the British side has clear regulations that bomber crews can retire from service as long as they complete 30 bombing missions. And their internal ability to withstand battle losses is about 5% each time. I have had people calculate based on this probability, the survival rate after executing 30 combat missions is still 21%. If we can improve the air defense efficiency, the enemy's loss rate will be reduced. Increase it to 10%. According to the calculation results, it should be..." At this point, he got stuck. It was now 1942, and he couldn't take out his mobile phone to calculate at any time, so he had to turn to Speer for help.
Although the architect's mathematical skills were very solid, he could not calculate the results for a while, but he immediately thought of Helen. Isn't this a ready-made mathematics college student? It only took Helen two minutes to calculate the result: "My head of state, according to the survival rate of 90% each time, performing 30 missions is 90% to the power of 30. After 30 missions, the survival rate is still about 4%."
"Very good. With a 4% survival rate plus accidents, mechanical obstacles and other factors, the British are basically unable to complete this kind of mission. The so-called statement that they can retire after completing 30 missions is completely a lie. When the time comes, Dr. Goebbels You can start the propaganda machine to get them to resist this life-or-death mission, so as not to be deceived by Churchill." Hoffman thought for a while and asked Helen to calculate the battle damage figures of 12% and 15%. The results surprised everyone: if the battle damage was 12%, the survival rate after 30 missions was only 2%, and if the battle damage was 15%, the survival probability was even less than 1%. It was obvious that as long as the losses exceeded a certain limit, the British air raids were unsustainable.
"I hope there will be more guys over there who care about their own lives too much like Major Schopfer, so that our pressure can be reduced."
"It is not advisable to place our hopes on the enemy's cowardice. We should take the initiative to improve our tactics. I observed today's air defense, and it is obvious that there are two problems." Hoffman raised two fingers, "First, There is a problem with our anti-aircraft guns, to be precise, there is a problem with the fuze. I have read the intelligence and the United Kingdom and the United States have developed a complete radio proximity fuze, which they call the VT proximity fuze..."
"Proximity fuse?" Keitel and Garland didn't understand this stuff, but that didn't mean Jeshunek and Kamhuber didn't understand it. Proximity fuzes are actually a large category of fuzes, which mainly use target characteristics or target surrounding environment characteristics information to function. They are different from trigger fuzes, delay fuzes, etc. that together constitute artillery shells (including bombs, torpedoes, and mines). Explosion methods mainly include radio, light, sound, magnetism and other media. The United Kingdom developed a prototype of a radio proximity fuze based on the same principle as radar in 1940. After the United States entered the war, the United States completed the design of a radio proximity fuze through the U.S. Bureau of Science and Technology: the main structure is to use the shell as an antenna, and the fuze has a built-in vacuum tube to emit radio waves. The device emits 180 to 220 MHz radio when powered on. When the projectile approaches the reflecting object, part of the radio wave is reflected, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com As the distance between the projectile and the target decreases, the Doppler effect causes the reflected radio wave to generate a low-frequency signal of 200-800 Hz in the current of the transmitter. This signal is filtered and amplified. When the signal strength exceeds a certain limit, it will detonate. .
The advantage of proximity fuzes over trigger and delay fuzes is that they can automatically explode according to changes in the target, causing maximum damage to the target and greatly improving the hit rate of artillery shells. The difficulty lies in the fact that the entire device must withstand the acceleration of more than 20,000 times the earth's gravity and the spin of 500 revolutions per second when the artillery fires. At the same time, it must be small enough to be placed within the warhead of the artillery shell. Precisely because of the advantages and difficulty of the VT fuze, the British and American Allied Forces classified it as top secret and kept it strictly confidential. The Germans did not know it, but Hoffman opened his mouth. Moreover, he also knew that Rheinmetall was developing proximity fuzes in the 1930s. , the electrostatic proximity fuze they planned to use was more efficient and cheaper than the radio proximity fuze invented by the Americans, but it was still unable to solve the problem of too small an action range. Later, they were forced to stop research, and even thought that such a thing The Germans can't figure it out, and the same goes for Britain and the United States.
Jeshunek thought for a while and then said: "I know about similar projects and can understand the value of this fuze for anti-aircraft guns. If the Allies have developed similar products, we must also have them."
"This kind of fuze is very important. It is used not only for anti-aircraft guns, but also for other occasions, so it should be listed as the highest priority. I will let the Imperial Security Bureau find a solution for the finished British and American proximity fuzes." After talking about the fuze, Huo Fuman sighed, "The second question is today's seemingly successful radar guidance operation."
