    After the large-scale arms race between the Chinese Empire and the German Alliance kicked off, in addition to the confrontation between nuclear forces, the most intense confrontation between conventional forces was the battle for air supremacy.

    Since the First World War, the Imperial Chinese Air Force has been in a leading position in the world and has been firmly in the first place for a long time. No air force in the world can compete with it.

    At the beginning of World War II, the Nazi Air Force was once considered to be able to challenge the Imperial Chinese Air Force for the number one position.  The reason is that the Nazi Air Force became the second in the world to develop and successfully mass-produce jet fighters, and was once favored by the Allied countries to challenge the power of the Imperial Chinese Air Force.

    But in the end, the me262 jet fighters of the Nazi Air Force were no match for the J-11 Fire Eagle jet fighters of the Chinese Empire, which became one of the important reasons why the Nazi Air Force failed to win World War II.  The me262's loss to the J-11 was due to two main factors: the Germans' deficiencies in the streamlined design of the jet aircraft and the inadequate engine technology.

    After World War II, the Nazi Air Force actively carried out research and development of new jet fighters in order to no longer suffer from the J-11.  However, the Nazi Air Force's own aircraft manufacturing plants never produced satisfactory products.  Due to various reasons, the jet fighters launched by aircraft companies such as Junkers, Desersmit, and Fokker never passed the Nazi space tests, which made Hitler very angry.

    At a critical moment, the demise of the Soviet Union brought fresh blood to the German Federation.  Hitler had to admit that the Soviets had a very high level of knowledge and technology. They were latecomers and surpassed German scientists in many aspects, and even surpassed the level of science and technology accumulated by the Chinese Empire.

    As early as the Soviet era, when the Soviets saw the powerful combat capabilities of the Chinese Empire¡¯s J11 fighter jets during World War II, Stalin, the then Soviet leader, started researching and copying them from Soviet scientists.  Since the Chinese Empire regarded the Soviet Union as an ally at that time, many Soviet Air Force pilots were able to test fly J11 fighters, and Soviet ground crews even worked with the Chinese Empire's pilots to maintain J11 fighters.  From this, the Soviets learned a lot.  And provided valuable experience for the Soviet Union's subsequent development of jet fighters.

    The Mikoyan Aircraft Company of the former Soviet Union is one of the best.  As early as World War II, Mikoyan Company developed and designed the MiG series of fighter jets with Soviet characteristics.

    At first, the Soviets were not convinced by the Chinese Empire's assertion that propeller-driven fighter jets would hit a speed bottleneck when reaching speeds above 750 kilometers per hour. For this reason, the Soviets developed multiple models of propeller-driven fighter jets to deny the Chinese Empire's assertion.  thesis.

    But the Soviets soon discovered that they were really wrong. The new fighters they were developing to increase the speed of propeller-driven fighters encountered relevant problems raised by the Chinese Empire.  For example, in order to make the plane fly faster and catch up with the J11 fighter jet of the Chinese Empire, the Soviets tried every means to increase the power of the engine.  but.  When the power of the aviation piston engine is large enough to make the aircraft speed reach about 750 kilometers per hour, it is very difficult to increase the aircraft speed further.  On the one hand, because the propeller speed is not unlimited.  On the other hand, when the aircraft speed is so fast that the speed of the propeller relative to the air is close to the speed of sound, an air wave is generated in front of the propeller.  A bow wave, like the bow wave that occurs when a ship moves forward at high speed on the water, is called a "shock wave."  The resistance caused by this shock wave is so great that the efficiency of the propeller immediately drops sharply.  No matter how powerful the engine is, the plane still can't fly fast.  Therefore, to make an airplane fly fast and reach the speed of sound, a piston engine is powerless.

    ? ? But jet aircraft are different.  Jet engines rely on the combustion of air and gasoline to produce a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which is injected backwards.  Produces thrust to move the aircraft forward.  Because the high-speed jet airflow directly generates reaction force to propel the aircraft into flight, unlike propeller aircraft whose efficiency decreases when flying at high speed, jet aircraft are particularly suitable for high-speed flight.

    The Soviets finally gave up their obsession and admitted that they could not speed propeller-driven fighters faster than the speed of sound.  But this does not mean that they have given up on catching up with the Chinese Imperial Air Force. On the contrary, through this lesson, the Soviets began to learn from the Chinese Empire in an all-round way.  Many Soviet aviation experts were able to conduct inspections and training at major aviation academies and aircraft companies in the Chinese Empire during the Sino-Soviet honeymoon period.  It injected new blood into the Soviet jet fighter research team.

    With the demise of the Soviet Union, Mikoyan and other aircraft companies were merged into the German Federation and placed under the jurisdiction of the Nazi Air Force.

    Among them, the MiG-9 fighter aircraft under development by Mikoyan Company was selected as a key training target of the Nazi Air Force.

    Of course, the real reason why the Nazi Air Force chose Mikoyan is that the design of the MiG 9 is similar to the Me262 fighter jet in service with the Nazi Air Force, and its engine is also a copy of the German BMW 003 jet engine (Soviet number rd-20, each unit has a static thrust of 800 kilograms).  Because the MiG-9 has a strong German origin,The Luftwaffe was receptive.

    The aerodynamic layout of the mig-9 is similar to that of an old piston aircraft, with the jet engine placed under the front fuselage.  It has a tricycle landing gear, a straight mid-wing, and three cannons mounted on the head, with the gun barrels extending outside the fuselage.  The maximum take-off weight is 5501 kg, the maximum level flight speed is Mach 0.8, the practical ceiling is 12800 meters, the range is 1100 kilometers, and the weapon system is one 37mm cannon and two 23mm cannons.

    Since the performance of MiG 9 is more advanced than the models developed by other Delian manufacturers, in view of the huge military pressure of the Chinese Empire.  About 1,500 J11 fighter jets were deployed to areas surrounding NATO, forcing the German Federation to respond.

    Therefore, after the first MiG-9 jet fighter prototype made its first successful flight in March 1946, Hitler immediately ordered the production of 1,000 MiG-9 fighters, making it the first mass-produced aircraft after the German Allied War.  Jet fighter.

    However, as a jet fighter, the mig-9 was not successful. It was just a temporary product of Delian's rush to fight against the J11 fighter jets of the Chinese Empire.  It did not serve for a long time and proved to be no match for the J11 in local wars. Therefore, it was retired in 1952 after the new advanced fighter was mass-produced.

    But the MiG-9 fighter became a model of sincere cooperation between the Germans and the Soviets. After that, Hitler listed the former Soviet Union's Mikoyan, Sukhoi and other aircraft companies with the German giants such as Junkers and Fokker.  Equal objects, the German Air Force competed fairly among them.  This not only appeased the hearts of the former Soviet people under the rule of the German League, but also brought together the scientific and technological power of the Soviet Union and Germany, which played a huge role in the future of the German League to compete with the Chinese Empire.

    Until many years later, the Chinese Empire was surprised and regretful when faced with the advanced weapons designed by the former Soviet Union for the German Federation.  Many military strategists lamented that if they had not abandoned the Soviet Union, they might not have to worry about establishing a strong enemy today.  Of course, many military experts believe that if the Soviet Union had been left behind, the Chinese Empire might have faced the threat of more powerful Soviet weapons today.

    Things are unpredictable. What the Chinese Empire has to do is not to regret, but to defeat any enemy in front of it with all its strength.
