Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

As for the British army's light weapons, it has long been impractical to learn from them.

For example, the rear end lock and 10-round magazine on the current 98k; the MP41 imitation of the Sten submachine gun, etc. The Bren light machine gun, Vickers Mark I heavy machine gun and the like are not favored by Yannick. After all, the German army uses MG3 general machine gun, NSV heavy machine gun, RPK light machine gun, etc., which are comparable to those of the British army. Much easier to use.

Turning to the last page, Yannick saw the British army equipped with the Fairbank-Sykes fighting dagger. It was designed by William Fairbairn and Eric Sykes. William Fairbairn is considered the pioneer of modern Western martial arts.

What is truly deadly is not the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting dagger itself, but the technique of using this dagger taught by William Fairbairn, Eric Sykes and others. Fairban is a master of judo and an expert in Chinese martial arts. His dagger skills also have East Asian characteristics to a large extent. This set of dagger techniques is very simple, emphasizing direct attack on key points with fast and accurate movements. And Sykes often said, "The knife should be used with as much grace as the artist uses the brush."

Because of the multifunctional sabers equipped by the German army, Yannick also looked down on this fighting dagger. He closed the file and threw it aside, then picked up the Air Force aircraft file.

"Hey yo, jet?"

After just reading a few pages, Yannick curled his lips in disdain. The power shape of this British jet fighter can be said to be quite traditional. It does not use swept wings and other designs that make full use of aerodynamic characteristics. In this regard, it is not as good as German Me-262.

The fuselage of this fighter is made of all metal. It adopts a series of traditional straight wings, front three-point landing gear, engines located in the middle of the wings, and anti-turbulence stabilizers that have often appeared in previous British fighter aircraft. There is almost nothing special about the layout from the appearance point of view, only the engine part can reflect its uniqueness.

In addition, there are many shortcomings. For example, the distance between the two engines at the break of the wing and the fuselage is very close. This makes it difficult for the wing and the fuselage of this fighter to be effectively combined structurally, which directly causes the fighter to fly. The airflow condition of the entire wing is not ideal, which can easily cause the aircraft to stall prematurely. Moreover, its relatively thick wings may also cause the fighter's controllability to decrease at high speeds, because thick wings may cause airflow compression. The effect occurs prematurely; secondly, the design of the excessively large stabilizer rudder surface area makes it easy for the fighter aircraft to experience boundary layer separation around the rudder surface during flight (a fluid phenomenon in which the boundary layer that originally flows close to the surface of an object separates from the surface of the object) ), causing the stability of the fighter aircraft to be affected.

World War II in the original time and space Britain began to get involved in the development of jet aircraft in the early 1930s. In March 1943, a jet fighter named "Thunder" made a successful test flight. In December of the following year, the first mass-produced model 1 left the factory. In order to avoid confusion with the American P-47 "Thunderbolt" fighter, it was renamed "Meteor" and became the second practical jet fighter in the world. The military's only jet combat aircraft.

It is a pity that the British army wanted to keep it secret (in fact, it was very common for tactical weapons to be captured in World War II. Germany has obtained a small number of B-17, P-38, P-51A/D, P-47, Spitfire 5, etc. But there were not too few Allied fighter planes; and the Allied forces also captured a lot of German weapons and equipment) and strictly prohibited them from taking off for combat, thus losing the opportunity to compete with the German Me262 jet fighters. Otherwise, the world's first large-scale jet fighter battle would not have taken place on the Korean battlefield, and it might have happened in World War II.

At this time, many British engineers were poached to Germany. So far, the British army's jet fighter is still on the drawing board, and the design has not even been perfected.

There was no need to look at the rest of the fighter bombers and the like. Just as Yannick was about to pick up the navy documents, Anne came in and reported. "Your Highness, the reporters have arrived and the press conference can begin."

"Oh, let's go then." Yannick came to a conference room, where reporters from various countries had already gathered.

Yannick walked onto the stage and nodded to the audience before speaking. "I'm sorry everyone, I think everyone knows about President Roosevelt's declaration of war on our country. I have a lot of things to do and I can't talk to you in detail, so I will briefly talk about it here."

The entire conference room was silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yannick.

"Let's talk about President Roosevelt first. Although his ability is open to question, his ambition is well known to everyone. This is not difficult to see from his third election for president. As we all know, President Washington, the founding father of the United States, automatically He gave up the presidency and established a precedent that has not been broken so far." After Washington announced that he would not be re-elected, although the United States did not have an express provision in the Constitution that he could not be re-elected, he could not be re-elected for more than two terms. In the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries, It is a consensus. Later, some US presidents wanted to break this tradition and were directly dismissed during the campaign.

"Obviously, President Roosevelt is trying hard to break this tradition. Let's not talk about how President Roosevelt can surpass President Washington. It is completely conceivable that if he can be elected for the third time, he will covet the fourth and strive for the fifth. . In front of you, the American people may get used to the lifelong presidential system, and they may get used to the fact that the throne of the President of the United States will be monopolized by one family. After all, President Roosevelt has several sons, right? Will it be his by then? What about sons succeeding as president?”

Although what he said was "alarmist", Yannick also knew that these Roosevelt sons were simply professional "cheats".

As early as the night when Roosevelt delivered his first inaugural address, his youngest son, John Roosevelt, drove directly into the front door of the White House. Although he was stopped by a guard and did not cause the car to rush into the White House, the national media at the time was very public about the incident. The report really embarrassed Roosevelt.

Even more deceptive were Roosevelt's two older sons. In the summer of 1933, 22-year-old Elliott Roosevelt quickly remarried his first wife five days after divorcing her, causing an uproar in the United States. A few years later, Roosevelt's eldest son, James Roosevelt, was removed from his position as White House Cabinet Secretary after it was revealed that he had used the power of his presidential father to obtain huge kickbacks from various insurance companies.

"Everyone knows that President Roosevelt's current support rate is not enough to get him elected for a third time. There is only one way to create changes, and that is war!"
