The Third Reich - Chapter 1706

Disappointment was written on everyone’s face. Roosevelt looked at the ice carrier that slowed down, and watched it turn hard and then return. The speed was getting slower and slower. Roosevelt knew how much of this whimsy there were. Technical risk.

Think about it, too, the construction of boats, from the first canoe, to the later sailing, and then to the steamship, it took many years to develop step by step, and it only appeared with the little progress in technology.

And now?

Without any technical reserves, if we want to mash up this ice-made aircraft carrier in a short time, it will inevitably be accompanied by a series of risks, not to mention the huge displacement.

War is terrible, countless cities are turned into ruins, countless population disappears, it is a catastrophe on earth, but at the same time, war is also a catalyst for technological progress. The technological progress in the entire World War II exceeded a hundred years of development in peace.

In order to win, all countries will have all kinds of new weapons that have opened their minds. There is only one goal, and at all costs, defeat the enemy and strive for victory.

Island country.

Pheasant Fifty-Six was killed in the attack on Midway Island, and the island nation lost one of its capable officers. At the same time, the advantage that it had gained so easily disappeared with the destruction of the Midway Island base.

The island nation can no longer control the western Pacific. If the United States needs it, it can go west at any time and continue to attack the island nation’s sphere of influence.

Fortunately for Germany’s strength, Germany was preparing to land across the sea, which put a lot of pressure on the United States. Therefore, after the First World War on Midway, the United States was not eager to continue to provoke war in the Western Pacific, but focused on defense of the Atlantic Ocean.

The island country, of course, will not just let the Americans bombard it without any countermeasures. The island country has always been thinking of ways to fight back.

“We still lack intercontinental bombers. Although we have imported some advanced technology from Germany, there are still two or three years before we develop advanced intercontinental bombers. We can’t wait so much.” In the island capital, High-level consultations are ongoing.

“The revenge of the pheasant must be avenged, and the revenge of the Midway Island base must be avenged. Unfortunately, our naval strength has been greatly reduced and we cannot continue to compete with the United States for hegemony in the Pacific.” The successor of the pheasant 56, Yokosuka Gu Hefeng, the commander of the guard house, said.

Stationed in Yokosuka, he is just a civilian on the shore. Kogafeng himself has no actual combat experience, no special merits, and has not served in the main force of the combined fleet for a long time. It is a typical product of the three nos, but it is a person like him who has inherited the mountain. The duties of Ji 56 can only be blamed on the promotion principles of the island navy:

The three important positions of the Secretary of the Navy, the Chief of the Military Command, and the Commander of the Joint Fleet were promoted from Yokosuka Jinshoufu Commander, Wu Jinshoufu Commander, Vice-Admiral of the Navy, Deputy Commander of the Military Command, and Commander of the Second Fleet in most cases.

You can only promote juniors, not seniors, unless in extreme circumstances such as juniors who do not meet the requirements, and then promote in accordance with the order of the hammock number, that is, the graduation ranking, and the order cannot be reversed.

This is the fate of a person. Gu Hefeng also knew that he was not capable of leading the entire fleet, but he had no choice.

Now, after taking office, what he needs to face is to avenge the pheasant and to avenge Midway Island.

The Americans, it is so damning that they used terrible bombs and destroyed the entire Midway Island.

“Yes, relying on existing technology, we can’t blow to the United States, but our meteorological experts have found an advantageous condition. Dashi and Saburo, you can introduce it to everyone.”

Hearing the words of Tojo who presided over the meeting, Oishi and Saburo stood up and said to the senior officials in front of him: “After careful study, a high-speed westerly wind belt was discovered over our homeland, and a balloon that entered this wind belt. Will move fast.”

After in-depth study of the atmosphere, we can clearly know the convection in the atmosphere. This is actually the mid-latitude regions of the northern and southern hemispheres. Between the subtropical high pressure zone and the subpolar low pressure zone, there is a combination of heated air over the equator. The area where the cold air above the polar regions meets. In this era, the exploration of climate is still very primitive, and it is even less clear if it is above 10,000 meters.

Since the wind will take the balloon to move eastward, just put a bomb under the balloon, can’t you throw the bomb to the United States?

This is simply a good idea. Compared with the consumption of bombers, balloons are the least expensive, cost-effective, and effective…

“With the use of balloons, we cannot control the flight of the bomb, and we cannot control the impact point.” A navy general responded and said to Oishi and Saburo.

“Yes, but we have calculated it accurately. As long as we fly 69 hours in the sky, we will definitely be able to float to the United States. As for the accuracy problem, we can achieve this by increasing the number. If we release 100,000 to the United States A balloon, even if only ten thousand arrive, that is ten thousand bombs, even if only one-tenth of them hit the residential area, that is a thousand bombs~www.mtlnovel.com~ Yes, this plan is very good, I It is recommended to implement it immediately.” Gu Hefeng said.

The cost is low. The cost of building 100,000 balloons is not as good as that of a strategic bomber, but it can have the effect of thousands of bombs. It is absolutely a good idea!

The people present agreed for a while, and in this way, the bomb balloon plan was passed.

If the ice aircraft carrier is a big brain, then the bomb balloon is almost of this type. After all, what kind of brain can you think of flying over half the earth with a balloon?

After leaving the base camp, Oishi and Saburo immediately found their colleague, Hidetoshi Arakawa.

“We can’t use ordinary sounding balloons.” Arakawa Hidetoshi said: “The balloon will fly higher and higher, and eventually it will burst. It will not fly that far.”

In the field of meteorology, air sounding balloons are used. Because the buoyancy is greater than gravity, they will continue to rise. When the high air pressure is low, the balloon will expand and become larger and larger, until it bursts.

If you want to fly that far, you must let the balloon control your height.

“Yeah, this is also the biggest problem I have encountered, we must solve it quickly.” Oishi and Saburo said.

“It seems that we have to design an automatic device.” Hidetoshi Arakawa quickly caught his thoughts: “We put 30 sandbags weighing 2 to 7 kilograms in the hanging basket under the balloon, and when the balloon flies When the distance is below 9000 meters, due to the effect of air pressure, the bolts that fix the sandbags will be automatically released, the sandbags will be thrown down one by one, and the balloon will rise due to weight loss. When flying above 10,500 meters, a valve of the airbag will automatically open and discharge With hydrogen, the balloon lowers its height.”

As Hidetoshi Arakawa said, he drew the drawings quickly: “Let’s start the experiment as soon as possible!” 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone’s reading school
