Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2268 Super Bomb
The world seems to be manipulated by an invisible hand, and every country is clearly arranged.

Before World War I, the top of the food chain was undoubtedly the United Kingdom. Colonies all over the world provided Britain with fresh blood. Whether it was raw materials for industrial production or human resources, France, which also had a large colony, was inferior to the United Kingdom.

In this colonial system, other countries will never succeed. After World War I, the United States tried to break all this, but was wiped out by Britain and France. The United States was so angry that it did not even join the League of Nations.

Rights are now gradually shifting from Great Britain to southern Africa.

In terms of the human resources most valued by the UK, southern Africa has not lost to the UK.

In terms of industrial raw materials, southern Africa has a greater advantage. The iron ore in Australia and Brazil is firmly controlled by southern African companies. The oil fields along the Persian Gulf have been monopolized by southern Africa. In the past 40 years, every major event in the world has been related to southern Africa. Regarding East India, Madagascar, Brazil, etc., small changes are not enough to change the power balance between southern Africa and the United Kingdom. After the quantitative change leads to a qualitative change, the United Kingdom has been unable to suppress southern Africa.

North Africa is the best proof.

In order to curb the expansion of southern Africa, the United Kingdom would rather face the attack of Rommel's North African Army alone, and resolutely did not seek the help of the ground troops in southern Africa.

Rommel invaded Egypt last winter, and the Suez Canal was in jeopardy.

Coincidentally, the British Mediterranean Fleet was attacked by frogmen from the Italian Navy, and its strength was greatly damaged. Auchinleck threatened to resign, and London finally agreed to the intervention of the southern African army.

This is of course conditional.

Don't forget that Beard is urging the Allies to open up a second front every day.

However, the strength of the German army still exists. If the Allied forces open up a second battlefield, maybe the mustache and the beard will shake hands and make peace, and then all the pressure will be transferred to southern Africa. .

Don’t think that this possibility is impossible. Nowadays, anything can happen. After World War I, Japan and Russia signed the “Non-Aggression Pact”, and the two countries were in a state of peace. After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States hoped that Using Vladivostok Airport to bomb Japan, the bearded man refused without hesitation.

When the United States sent B25 to bomb Tokyo, a U.S. bomber made an emergency landing in Vladivostok due to exhaustion of fuel.

In order not to cause diplomatic troubles, Russia seized the plane and five crew members. The detained crew members have not yet returned to the United States.

When Southern Africa decided to bomb the Japanese mainland, it also considered Vladivostok, but was eventually rejected by the bearded man.

It is only 1000 kilometers from Vladivostok to Tokyo. Various bombers in southern Africa take off from Vladivostok and can easily cover the entire territory of Japan.

If it takes off from the Mariana Islands, only the "Super Sky Fortress" can perform the task, and the difficulty is multiplied geometrically.

But the Russians disagreed, and southern Africa could only build an airport in the Mariana Islands.

Fortunately, the United States has also joined in now. The two countries with the most powerful industrial capabilities in the world have joined forces, and the Japanese will be out of luck.

After the bombing of Tokyo, the Second Air Force organized another bombing of Osaka, this time also dispatched 24 "Super Sky Fortresses".

The last time the Japanese bombed Tokyo, the Japanese were unprepared, so they succeeded easily.

This time the Japanese took precautions, and four "Super Sky Fortresses" were shot down by the Japanese army. The remaining bombers were forced to drop their bombs and return before reaching Osaka. The mission failed completely.

The Second Air Force then reviewed the situation and believed that it would be unwise to carry out carpet bombing of the Japanese mainland when Japan has air defense capabilities. Before it has the ability to dispatch hundreds of bombers at one time, the Second Air Force decided to temporarily stop Bombing of the Japanese mainland.

Compared with the bombing of Japan, the Marianas faced another major crisis.

Japan will not sit still. The main force of the United Fleet is advancing towards the Mariana Islands after retreating from Manila.

While the attack of the Second Air Force was frustrated, the team led by Robert Goddard once again surprised Rock.

As early as ten years ago, Robert Goddard's team had developed a rocket with a speed of more than 1000 kilometers per hour and a range of more than 50 kilometers.

Ten years later, the progress of Robert Goddard's team is obvious. Just two months ago, Goddard's team successfully sent a rocket into space.

After Rock knew the news, his first reaction was to use the rocket in the military field.

"Professor Goddard is reluctant. His goal is interstellar colonization, and he does not want to use rocket technology for military purposes." Stoudemire is also one of the sponsors of Goddard's team. His dream is to take a rocket to the moon to find Chang'e.

This is obviously bewitched by myths and Robert Goddard. Sending man-made aircraft into space is only the first step, and it is still too early to send humans into space.

As for interstellar colonization, Rock didn't have any expectations at all. This is the same as the long-range intelligent unmanned vertical take-off and landing bomber project that Nikola Tesla used to defraud funds, and it is another series that he will not see in his lifetime.

Unmanned bombers are out of reach, and interstellar colonization is not realistic, but the combination of the two technologies is of great military value.

This is also the original intention of Roque to continue to invest in these two projects.

"Tell Professor Goddard that if he still wants to get funding for further research, he will honestly cooperate with the military and continue to improve his rocket." Rock instantly transformed into a ruthless capitalist. Scientists want to dream, and Rock also has responsibilities .

What Rock wanted was not the original German missile.

About the same time that Robert Goddard's team began to study rockets, the team led by Werner von Braun in Germany was also conducting related research.

Another space-time Von Braun is recognized as the father of rockets. In fact, there are many scientists who started related research during the same period.

The father of rockets in this time and space must be Robert Goddard. Now that Robert Goddard has sent rockets into space, von Braun is still studying how to make rockets fly over the English Channel.

"This may dampen the enthusiasm of Professor Goddard—" Xiao Si was slightly entangled, and his dream still depends on Robert Goddard to realize it.

"Then don't tell him the real purpose. I remember Robert seems to have said that rockets can be used in the field of transportation. Yes, we are going to do it now." Rock has no psychological barriers to squeezing Robert Goddard, after all It was Robert Goddard who defrauded the funds first.

I think that when Robert Goddard wanted to obtain funding, he could even say the reason for long-distance transportation.

This is because there is no bottom line for funds.

"Well, I'll tell him that." Stoudemire laughed, and he seemed to have seen Robert Goddard's expression after hearing this reason.

Robert Goddard is not stupid either. He is a scientist with a conscience and does not want to use his research results to slaughter humans.

But people can't help themselves in the arena, just like Maxim's research on machine guns is to reduce casualties of soldiers, Robert Goddard is not pedantic, so the attitude of opposition is not strong.

"Do you agree?" Xiaosi was disappointed, he didn't see the expression he wanted.

"Yes, I agree to provide the relevant technology to the military. This is also part of our original agreement." Robert Goddard is 60 years old this year. He is a tenured professor at Nyasaland University and leads his own scientific research team , has already become famous.

"The military wants to use your rocket technology to kill people." Stoudemire was dissatisfied with Robert Goddard's attitude, which was completely different from before.

The military has always paid attention to Robert Goddard's research. After Robert Goddard sent the rocket into space two months ago, the military proposed to apply the rocket to the military field.

Robert Goddard directly refused, which did not give the Ministry of Defense face, and it was useless for Martin to call Robert Goddard himself.

Now that Rock spoke, Robert Goddard immediately agreed, which shows that Robert Goddard knows who is in charge in southern Africa.

"Whatever they use my rockets for, the original intention of gunpowder research and development is to watch, never to kill people." Robert Goddard has a deep understanding of these knowledge points that the federal government of southern Africa promotes.

Regardless of how strong the Southern African Federal Government is externally, in terms of internal propaganda, the Southern African Federal Government insists on creating an image of peace and justice. The effect of the propaganda machine being fully activated is terrifying, especially the contribution of the Chinese to the progress of human civilization, which has long been recognized in Southern Africa. Everyone knows.

In another time and space, demons danced wildly, and even the four major inventions were questioned, and the contribution of the Chinese to the progress of human civilization was simply dispensable.

This time and space are different. The propaganda machine is controlled by the Southern African Federal Government. The Southern African Federal Government did not make up or even exaggerate. It just told the real history. European countries emphasized the "civilized society" of more than 100 years. It collapsed.

In the propaganda of European countries, especially Britain and France, the progress of human civilization is promoted by European countries, and people outside Europe have no contribution.

After Southern Africa joined, people were surprised to find that when the British were still playing with mud in the British Isles, brilliant civilizations had already appeared in the far east. In the thousands of years of history, compared with the countries established by the Chinese, Europe has always been shrouded in darkness.

It is difficult for many people to accept this fact, but when more and more southern Africans began to fall in love with "When is the moon?", the cultural integration really began.

In terms of assimilation ability, the Anglo-Saxons are far behind the Chinese.

The British colonized India for hundreds of years, and the Indians never really surrendered.

Replaced by Chinese——

Impossible, the Chinese have never expanded abroad, and the territory of the country established by the Chinese has been expanding. It is because people in neighboring countries yearn for Chinese civilization, so they take the initiative to integrate into this big family.

The same goes for Southern Africa.

Although the Southern African Union has been expanding, the Federal Government of Southern Africa has never taken the initiative to invade externally. It is the neighboring countries that take the initiative to attach themselves. Southern Africa is still picking and choosing.

With the approval of Robert Goddard, the application of rockets in the military field advanced rapidly.

The remote intelligent unmanned vertical take-off and landing bomber technology of the Tesla Research Institute cannot be realized in a short time, but the unmanned technology has reached a new level.

Especially after the emergence of video manipulation technology and helicopter-related technology, theoretically speaking, this project has become possible.

Combining video manipulation technology with rocket technology, long-range missiles are imminent.

Robert Goddard's rocket is indeed very advanced, with a flight speed of 5600 kilometers per hour, and a flight distance of more than 100 kilometers when the altitude is about 500 kilometers.

To apply rockets in the military field, the most important thing is to solve the problem of rocket accuracy.

The accuracy of German rockets depends entirely on Meng. After a rocket was launched, it actually circled in the air and hit a building next to the rocket launch site.

This building was built for Mustache to visit a rocket launch.

Mustache did not go to the rocket launch site that day, thus escaping.

Rockets in southern Africa must not make such mistakes. How to solve the accuracy problem at a distance of hundreds of kilometers is the top priority of engineers.

After acquiring the rocket technology, the Ministry of National Defense of Southern Africa recruited elites from the military and scientific research institutes of various universities in southern Africa to form a research team. The core of the team is Xu Dehai from the Tesla Research Institute and Kenny from the Goddard team. Huttmann.

These two are both outstanding students who graduated from Nyasaland University. Xu Dehai joined the Tesla Research Institute directly after graduating from Nyasaland University three years ago. He is a "scientific research genius" personally recognized by Nikola Tesla. Especially when it comes to video controls.

Kenny Suitman is a student of Robert Goddard. Ten years ago, his family immigrated to southern Africa from France and has already joined the southern African nationality.

"So, if we send a rocket 500 kilometers away, the rocket can only carry about 50 kilograms of explosives, which is as powerful as a shell of a 203mm artillery—" Xu Dehai was very excited after learning about the specific performance of the rocket. Disappointed, the Goddard team spent decades and spent countless funds on this research?

"It's very simple to increase the amount of explosives carried, just make the rocket bigger. You know, the first rocket we sent into space is experimental, and it doesn't matter how heavy it is." Kenny Suitman is confident.

I think the first rocket made by Robert Goddard was only 3.4 meters high and weighed less than 5 kilograms.

Now the rocket developed by the Goddard team is more than ten meters long, with a wing width of 6.5 meters and a height of 1.5 meters. It is not impossible to build a larger rocket, but it is unnecessary.

With the technology of the Goddard team, it is easy to make the rocket fly more than 600 kilometers, and it only needs to reduce the fuel carried, so that it can carry more explosives.

According to the requirements of the Ministry of National Defense of Southern Africa, if a rocket is to be used in the military field, it must carry at least 1000 kilograms of explosives to be valuable.

1000 kilograms is actually not much. Southern Africa has produced large bombs weighing up to ten tons, and the "Super Sky Fortress" can only carry one at a time.
