Imperial Overlord

Is ballistic missile technology good? Of course good! After the end of World War II, human beings have been desperately developing ballistic missile technology, and this technology has become the world's strongest deterrent force with the blessing of nuclear warheads. . fastest update

After decades of technical accumulation and precipitation, the final hit accuracy of ballistic missile technology can reach within 20 meters, which can basically achieve the purpose of destroying the target.

Coupled with powerful nuclear warheads, these ballistic missiles are guaranteed to destroy the enemy's important targets, destroy the enemy's central cities, and become a nuclear cloud over the heads of mankind.

However, in 1940, the technology of ballistic missiles was still in the initial stage. Ballistic missiles in this state were expensive and the hit accuracy could not be guaranteed.

The large-scale use of such technology will cause astonishing waste, which is the main reason why Li Le is reluctant to mention the V-type missile.

Li Le is willing to devote some energy to the development of ballistic missiles. It can be said that this technology will not be outdated in the next 70 years or even 100 years.

However, in his plan, Germany's ballistic missiles are only technical reserves, not as secret weapons, put into the so-called final battle.

In the real history, Hitler liked this weapon very much, and began to develop and manufacture it on a large scale.

In the end, more than 15,000 v1 missiles were invested in actual combat, and more than 3,000 v2 missiles were also produced.

This number does not seem to be a small number today. If a country launches nearly 20,000 missiles to attack an enemy country, it will definitely be regarded as a large-scale war.

However, the data collected after the war showed that only 40% of the missiles landed within 10 kilometers of the target area... This data is simply embarrassing to the extreme.

Of the more than 3,000 V2 missiles in use, only more than 1,100 flew to the British mainland. How many casualties did these missiles cause? In all, more than 2,700 civilians were killed...

In addition to destroying buildings, creating panic for the other party, and attracting the other party's attention, the actual results of these expensive v2 missiles are almost negligible...

Who would have thought that 1,000 famous V2 missiles could kill less than 3 people on average?

Some netizens in later generations called this missile a "v2 sniper rifle" in a mocking tone. In fact, there is a certain truth. This thing is really similar in nature to a sniper rifle. Most of the ammunition fired can only kill one person. ...

Be aware that this is an expensive missile! High pressure nitrogen, hydrogen peroxide and liquid oxygen, which were expensive at the time, were used.

These things were very unstable at the time, and the chemicals that needed to be temporarily added to the missile before launch were very dangerous procedures.

And the cheaper v1 missiles, because of the slow flight speed, can be intercepted by the opponent who can intercept such missiles with fighter jets and shoot them down on the way!

These two technically immature missiles were finally put into operation in 1944. At that time, even if these missiles were equipped with more advanced guided warheads and the accuracy was increased to about 50 meters, it could not be changed at all. The battle is over.

Even if Li Le has blueprints and can even improve these missiles, it is not easy to make these weapons join the war in 1943.

In this way, before the advent of Germany's nuclear weapons, missiles with immature long-distance launch technology were extremely uneconomical choices.

As for the use of missiles to drop nuclear weapons, Li Le is willing to try it, but he is not worried about this kind of delivery method that may fall from the sky at any time... The unreliability of this thing makes it not the first choice for nuclear weapon delivery.

You must know that in the initial period of the Cold War, the Soviet Union deployed missiles with nuclear warheads, which was only a helpless choice under the premise that the Air Force could not surpass Britain and the United States.

That is to say, even around 1950, the missile technology of the world's major powers was still unstable.

Therefore, Li Le is reluctant to invest in research and development to develop missiles in such a crisis-ridden situation, even when missile technology is the right way for future technological development.

He is more willing to invest some research and development funds, let his subordinates play this technology first, and then develop relatively mature weapons around 1950, which can be used as the cornerstone of the nuclear deterrence of the Third Reich.

But it's not a hurried project, producing a bunch of large rocket toys that most of them can only fly to British farmland and become scrap iron...

"The rocket plan you mentioned is not a mature plan now. I know that you admire Brian very much, and I also admire him very much. He represents the future of rocket technology, but that future is a distant future!" Li Le looked at Goering, who was in good spirits, poured a basin of cold water on him.

"You can't waste any materials to produce large rockets! This is waste! It's a serious waste!" Li Le said to Goering, directly denying the plan to mass-produce rockets to attack the UK.

Seeing that the Führer didn't seem to be interested in Braun's plan, Goering didn't know what to say.

In 1939, Braun met Führer Hitler for the first time. At that time, Hitler was still very interested in the high technology of rockets, so Goering became a supporter of this technology.

However, now it seems that the head of state is not as enthusiastic about rocket technology as he imagined. Goering found that the head of state in front of him seemed to have really changed.

It turned out that Hitler liked huge mechanical equipment, was very interested in giant weapons such as Gustav cannons and Bismarck battleships, and was keen to do some novel things.

The current Yuan Xiansheng prefers those weapon systems that can be put into production immediately, with simplified production and use of mature technology. The pre-research items are very targeted.

To briefly describe this change, the former Fuhrer was a liberal arts student who liked emotional things.

The current head of state is a science student with a clear goal. He knows what he wants and is working hard to move towards the set goal.

Such a change seems contradictory to Goering. Because Goering is a self-proclaimed technical expert, in his opinion the Fuhrer is simply a person with weak technical knowledge.

To ask such a leader who has never studied technology to estimate the future direction of technology development, and leave no room for concentrating on R&D and production plans, is simply a suicidal behavior.

But when Goering wanted to object, he found that at least for now, the Führer's choice of weapons and equipment had achieved amazing results!

The obsession with the -190 fighter has given Goering a fighter system with another design idea, and now it seems that the follow-up potential of the -190 fighter is really better than the me-109 series.

Similarly, the Stalker tank destroyer for the Army has also been well received by the Army. The simplified version of the truck armored vehicle and even the tank has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the army.

"My head of state, the plan to develop the rocket was approved by you personally to Braun..." Goering had to remind the head of state before Li Le spoke incessantly.

Hearing Goering say this, Li Le, who replaced the real Hitler, was embarrassed for a moment, but he immediately came back to himself.

He looked at Goering and explained: "R&D and technical reserves are of course necessary and necessary! But we can't blindly produce a new type of weapon, which is a serious waste for us."

"I understand, my Führer." Seeing that the Führer seemed to have lost interest in the rocket project, Goering secretly decided in his heart to give up this project.

At least in his opinion, the current head of state is very wise and very advanced, and he has a very mature idea in choosing weapons items, which made him have a mind of blind obedience.

"Don't cancel it outright! Instead, invest money and let Braun do it! What I want is technical reserves, and I need to come up with mature technology immediately when I need it!" There were some clues, so he opened his mouth and ordered.

He didn't have time to play games with Goering to suggest or figure out his mind, so he simply ordered: "I want to ensure that this technology continues to develop, but it is not used to produce useless scrap iron! Do you understand what I said?"

"Yes! My head of state!" Goering saw persistence in Li Le's eyes, so he quickly answered.

It seems that the head of state attaches great importance to this technology, but he does not want to put it into war immediately. Maybe at a certain time in the future, the head of state will put mature rocket technology into the war as a secret weapon maybe~www. wuxiaspot.com~ Goering thought of this and closed his mouth. He handed over the power to speak to Kesselring, who was on the sidelines, and let the air marshal continue.

Because of the preparations for the attack on Britain and the support for North Africa, Kesselring successfully completed the task, so the air marshal became a red man in front of the head of state.

At this moment, Kesselring, because he was frequently summoned by the head of state, has vaguely become the No. 2 figure in the Air Force!

"My head of state! Since the rocket project can't be used to replace bombing for the time being, can we temporarily reduce the scale of our bombing against the UK, or cancel it?" Seeing Goering looking at himself, Kesselring said to Li Le. suggested.

Li Le frowned and thought carefully about Kesselring's suggestion. In his opinion, the air force marshal had some skills, and he should listen to the marshal's opinions in the professional field.

After being silent for a few seconds, the head of state watched the two air marshals speak slowly, and gave his promise: "The air force's bombing mission is reduced to twice a week... Persist until next month, that is, in November. You can stop waiting for subsequent commands!" (To be continued.)
