Battle of the Third Reich

Chapter 5: Take off-embark on a road of no return

The curator began to cry with a sad face. "I went to several railway transportation companies in front of me, and I wanted to entrust them to transport our baby to Duncolk. But several of them even offered me a price that made me dumbfounded. You know, what we spent in the past few months There is too much money, and the company’s finances have run into deficits. Earlier, I made a little bit of performance, but I have invested all of this money in the repair and test flights of the aircraft. You need to know that the simple runway is repaired I’m about to go bankrupt. And those transporters, those vampires, their cheapest price also costs me 80,000 euros! I can’t get the money right now, so... I’m back There was an idea on the way, but... I don’t know how to tell you."

"Say what you want to say. Do you have any plans under the current circumstances? What can I do for you?" Xu Jun was tired of curators' curving.

"That... I said that. Dear Xu, due to the shortage of funds in the museum, I was unable to pay for the transportation of the plane. So, I had an idea, since we can't use that plane. When the train was over, we simply used this plane to fly directly over." The curator said, looking forward to Xu Jun.

"What!!!" Xu Jun was shocked by the curator's crazy plan.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Of course not" The answer is no.

"Are you crazy? Carl!"

Xu Jun finally breathed out. "How come you have such a crazy idea. You must know how fragile the structure of that aircraft is now. Flying to Dunkelk is an impossible task. Let’s not talk about it for a while. What kind of trouble will the antique encounter in the long-distance flight? I think she is even a problem if she can fly that far. Although the theoretical endurance of the me109e is 700 kilometers, it is enough to fly from here to Duncolk, but now The endurance of this me109e in our hands has not reached that far. In order to make her aging wing able to withstand the pressure of flight, we removed her 400-liter main fuselage tank and replaced it with a reduced The 250-liter fuel tank is equipped with a fuselage wing connection structure reinforcement component in the original space. The current fuel capacity can only be barely flown to Lille, France, with the auxiliary fuel tank. And I can’t guarantee that 70 years ago. The manufactured engine can still continue to operate safely for so long now. You have known these situations for a long time, but now you want me to fly such a plane across half of Europe, do you want to murder me?" Xu Jun feels that his emotions are starting to get out of control.

"Xu! Don't worry, listen to me and analyze with you carefully." The curator stepped back to the desk and felt that he was not yet in danger of being beaten. He settled down and said, "I thought on the way back Yes, our me109 may not be able to fly directly to Dunkelk, but we can stop and rest on the way. I have contacted several airports along the way, and they are very willing to provide security services for this expedition. We can fly to Strasbourg first, then to Paris, and then to Dunkelk, and you see, long-distance flights with famous antique planes like this are famous all over the world, You can think about it. If it succeeds, your flight will sensation all over Europe, which will bring great honor to yourself, your family, your nation, your motherland. At that time, no matter where you go, people You will be treated as a hero. Hahahaha, you will become famous when the time comes, and all the beautiful money will be thrown at you. Hahaha, you will definitely thank me when the time comes." The success of this flight was a matter of stability.

"Oh, it will become a hero and add honor to his family's motherland. Will it really say that to you?" Xu Jun's tone began to soften, and he began to think about if this plan could succeed, maybe it was really A good thing about Guangzong Yaozu. And after so many years of war, it is also very interesting to think about the me109 flight that was famous in World War II after flying over France. After returning to China, you can also boast of another "Great Enterprise" to your friends. If you are really famous, it may also help your career development in the future. But he still calmly raised his concerns.

"But...but if the plan fails, everything you say will be a bubble, and I'm even more likely to be in danger of life. I don't want to die so honorably for being so young."

"Dear Xu, I may not have confidence in others, but I have full confidence in you and me. I believe you will be able to complete this flight. For me, for your honor. To prove that you are repairing this aircraft, Perfect, you must complete this flight. The plane was repaired with your own hands. Have you lost confidence in your abilities? You know this plane so well, what problems will make it difficult for you? Child, I believe you will accomplish this feat. The Randolph Museum will be famous for your history. Your parents will be proud of you, and your motherland will be proud of you." The curator saw the door and started inciting it while hot.

"Well, since that's the case, I'll give it a try..."

"start up!"

Xu Jun watched the robot standing on the wing and turned the start handle recklessly. After a burst of sound, the engine started and the propeller began to rotate slowly with a burst of smoke and flames coming out of the exhaust pipe. As the engine speed increases, the propeller spins faster and faster, and dust starts to rise behind the plane. The mechanic standing next to the plane pressed the work cap with one hand, and began to draw circles in the air desperately with one hand. Xu Jun nodded to the mechanic, and began to retract the throttle back and forth. Detection. Then adjust the engine speed to 1700 and transfer the engine to warm up. Then Xu Jun began to pull the cāo longitudinal rods back and forth, left and right, and stepped the rudder pedals back and forth to check the response of each cāo longitudinal plane. After getting exact and satisfactory results, Xu Jun felt a little relieved. Then Xu Jun began to check the readings and operating conditions of each instrument, opened the auxiliary circuit switch, lowered the flaps, and checked the oxygen cylinder switch and safety belt.

Who knows that just after turning on the radio, a call from the curator "Xu, Xu, can you hear it?"

"Yes, I heard it very clearly, Carl." Xu Jun sat in the cabin and looked out. As a result, the curator stood on the edge of the runway and waved to himself with a walkie-talkie.

"I saw you." Xu Jun also waved towards the curator. "I also saw the scene that I don't want to see now." Xu Jun thought with a wry smile.

Behind the curator stood tens of thousands of onlookers. They waved various banners and screamed and shouted insanely. Hundreds of local scouts stood in front of the crowd to maintain order and were so busy with sweat. Countless flashes flashed one after another, and the cameras of various television stations swept back and forth between the crowd and the lonely small plane on the runway.

"Now it's really hard to ride a tiger, and the family knows all about it, and they have called for encouragement. Even if I don't want to fly now, it won't work. How could it be like this..." Xu Jun Feeling depressed.

It turned out that after Xu Jun agreed to his crazy plan, he immediately contacted the French Veterans Association, hoping that they would get permission from the French government to agree to fly over the border. Unexpectedly, the French agreed without saying a word, and obviously they were also very interested in the flight. As a result, the French media immediately ran into hype after learning about this matter. After two clicks, it finally attracted the attention of the media all over the world, which made the situation now. The number of spectators who came to watch the takeoff from all over the world reached 10,000, and even the Mayor of Frankfurt led a group of officials and local garrison representatives to attend the ceremony. In fact, to be honest, this flight was not a big deal in the aviation industry. But this time because a young pilot from the Mysterious East drove the last European original antique fighter aircraft that could be flown from World War II and flew over half of Europe, Messerschmitt again from 70 years later Germany flew to Dunkelk. These special factors, coupled with the French who have always loved romance, have been frying with oil and vinegar. As a result, this ordinary stage flight has become as great as ordinary Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic.

"Xu, I'm right, now the whole of Europe is watching you, the whole world is watching you. You must succeed. You will become a hero!" The curator shuddered with excitement.

"Karl, did you really contact radio navigation? Are the several relay airports also ready?" Xu Jun was a little nervous, feeling more and more afraid of the flight, and always felt that there was something not so good foreboding .

"Of course, no problem, everything is under control." The curator looked confident.

"Okay, I'm ready, I can take off at any time." Xu Jun raised the thumb to the mechanic standing on the edge of the plane and said he was ready. The mechanic nodded and drilled under the wing to remove the wheel block, and then raised a thumb to Xu Jun, indicating that the ground was no problem.

"Take off, dear Xu, God is with you." The curator finally issued the order to take off.

"Understood, take off right away, but Carl, I have one last question. I hope you can answer me truthfully. Do you really have no money to transport this plane by train?"

"This? Haha, my dear boy, explain it now... It's troublesome, or I'll answer your question after you land in Duncolk. I'll wait for you there." The old guy talked about him.

At this time Xu Jun finally understood that this matter was completely calculated by the old fox from beginning to end. But now it is difficult to ride a tiger by myself, so I have to put on my scalp.

He roared: "Karl... you old fox, you lie to me! When I come down, I and you will never end!" Then he gritted his teeth and pushed the throttle hard, and the engine immediately roared, and then released the brakes violently , The plane began to glide towards the other end of the runway like a cannonball, and then lightly raised its head and rushed towards the blue sky.

A poor innocent young man was finally pushed by an old fox on a dangerous and splendid journey he could never imagine.
