The cost of developing heavy bombing is very huge. The United States spent 3 billion US dollars on the B-29. Krupp and Messerchmitt would definitely not be able to afford that much money. They could only develop a bomber with a slightly longer load capacity and range based on the existing German bomber JU89, which is the JU89.

In July 1937, Juncker completed the second Ju89 prototype. However, Juncker used these two prototypes to conduct multiple test flights to obtain information on the stability and handling of large aircraft during flight. However, the third Ju89 prototype stopped assembled after the plan was cancelled. During the test period, Juncker obtained records of multiple bomb loading and high-altitude flight performance, such as carrying 5,000kg bombs at a height of 9,312m and carrying 10,000kg bombs at a height of 7,242m.

A few years later, the US B-29 had a bomb load of only ten tons, which was basically the same as the German JU89, but the range of the B-29 was particularly long. Because the overall load capacity of the B-29 reached 27 tons, it could basically carry seventeen tons of fuel and fly for sixteen hours in a row. The range of the JU89 was much shorter, only 2,980 kilometers, so the German JU89 could only be considered a heavy tactical bomber, not a heavy strategic bomber. But there is no need to re-develop it, just a little amplification or improvement, so that its combat distance reaches 5,000 kilometers can be considered a strategic bomber, so the R&D expenses are much less invested.

It is not that Germany cannot build heavy strategic bombers, but that Germany's top leaders have made huge mistakes in their cognition, believing that Germany does not need heavy strategic bombers. They believe that "blitzkrieg" only requires tactical bombers, and the result is that it brings unexpected disasters to Germany.

In early 1938, Goering believed that this aircraft was of little use to Germany, so he persuaded Hitler to stop producing this aircraft. Two prototypes of the aircraft were handed over to the Luftwaffe to make so-called large military transport aircraft.

This aircraft has been created by Germany, and the load capacity of ten tons is enough, but its range is still not far enough. With continued research and development and improvement, it should not be too difficult, and the investment should also be within an acceptable range.

"Secondly, all kinds of research and development cannot be relaxed, and we must continue to increase investment, such as tanks, rockets, straw turning into diesel, diesel engines, iron fist anti-tank rocket launchers, etc."

It’s not that Krupp doesn’t know the truth that technology is productivity, but his concepts are not keeping up. Krupp’s own abilities are also very excellent. Now he has mostly accepted his son’s business philosophy, and this one will be implemented without fail.

"Third, Gorene is the biggest hidden danger in our family, and it should be eliminated as soon as possible. I heard that Gorene will be injected with %% coffee when he is injured in analgesic to the pain. I asked my father to find a way to bribe his private doctor and gradually increase the dose and send this person to see God as soon as possible."

Krupp would do this without Li Mo's instructions, but Gorene was the German Air Marshal and Hitler's comrade-in-arms. Assassination was definitely inappropriate. This method could kill Gorene invisibly.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The sound of whistle sounded in the port of Bremen, and a huge fleet began to slowly sail out of the port. Under the dim lights in the port, no one came to see off his farewell. This operation was carried out secretly, so no one's relatives were allowed to say goodbye. Even wherever they went, Li Mo was no exception:

"Brothers, go and have fun with your soldiers! We have spent the past half month on this boat, so I'll learn more about this time."

"Sir, can you play cards?"

Vincent was already a major at this time. Seeing his red face, he knew that he was living a very comfortable life in Italy.

"Of course, as long as you don't bet on %% of the betting, it's still OK to have fun."

Li Mo is still very tolerant of his subordinates, especially in normal times, Li Mo will not interfere in their entertainment time.

Everyone was still very excited in the early stage of taking the boat, but later on, everyone had various conditions, including seasickness, insomnia, etc. Li Mo, who was originally unwilling to play cards, also joined their entertainment.

"Sir, haha, you lost again. Come on, put this note on your face quickly... and you have to wear a helmet."

At this time, Li Mo had five steel helmets on his head and his face was covered with notes. This boring trip was also a good way to spend time.

Li Mo and the others were carefree to play cards and entertainment every day, but the fleet commanders Radell and Denitz were not relaxed. They stayed at their posts every day and watched closely all the situation in the surrounding waters. More than half of the twelve U2 submarines were sent out to carry out reconnaissance missions. With such a powerful German fleet, no country would take the initiative to attack such a powerful fleet without the two countries officially starting war.

But when this fleet reached the South China Sea, Japan learned the news. Japanese Cabinet Prime Minister Nobuyuki Abe hurriedly convened a cabinet meeting and reported to the Japanese Emperor that the Prime Minister's Office was the venue of the meeting:

Nobusuke Abe took out a telegram and some photos and said to the dozen cabinet members below:

"Everyone, with our reconnaissance aircraft report in Taiwan, a huge German fleet has entered the South China Sea. This fleet has one battlecruiser, two light cruisers, three destroyers, dozens of advanced U2 submarines, and twelve 10,000 tons of giant ships, two of which are passenger ships. At the same time, we also found that more than 200 German's most advanced B109 fighter jets were suddenly deployed at Nanjing Airport. Germany did not notify us of this military operation, nor did it send any diplomatic notes. What Germany intends to do, and I don't know what reasonable suggestions are you doing."

"What exactly does this German guy want to do? Is it here to avenge our fight and we will take the revenge of Qingdao? This is impossible!"

"Germany and China have always had good friends. The German-armed Chinese troops are armed by Germany. Is Germany an alliance with China? Did Germany send troops to help China? This will cause great trouble. With Germany's strong scientific and technological capabilities and China's infinite population and resources, we are afraid of losing a lot in China. What should we do?"

"Impossible, Germany cannot form an alliance with China. Germany and China can only be friendly. They have a good relationship with China only in exchange for Chinese resources. So I can be sure that I think they are using arms to exchange resources for them when they come to China this time. Otherwise, we will ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send a telegram to the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask. We should have an answer after a while, what do you think?"

"It's so great, let's take a break for a while! Please go to the lounge to have a tea!"

The Japanese cabinet members analyzed it in a slight manner and found a little bit of a sudden analysis. The Prime Minister's Office had a special telegraph room configuration. Nobusuke Abe personally went to the telegraph room to send a newspaper to inquire about the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, what was the intention of Germany's large-scale military mobilization this time. Nobusuke Abe also expressed strong protest against the German government's irresponsible behavior.

Actually, this is good. Abe Nobuk directly asked about Germany's intentions so as not to cause accidental fire due to misjudgment. Abe Nobuk happened to walk to the telegram room, and a radio operator took a telegram and reported to Abe Nobuk:

"Report to the Chief, here is an emergency telegram, please sign for it."

When Abe Nobuki got the message, he understood that it turned out that the message was sent by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Germany escorted the fleet to China for trade. It made it clear that Germany came to trade in China and was not coming to Japan to start a war.

After reading the telegram, Abe Nobusuke hurriedly returned to the conference room and summoned cabinet members to discuss:
