Chapter 512 - Manned Flying Bombs

"Yes, Major General, this is the Germans who fuck the flying bomb!"

Gendashi's answer surprised Yamamoto and Osashi. Suicide aircraft should be the product of desperate attempts. Germany is now at its peak, and victory on the battlefield is steadily victorious. How can we die with the enemy?

"According to the Germans themselves, he actually had the idea of ​​creating a 'man-operated missile' as early as 1934, and he also made a prototype in 1939."

Gendashi's explanation made Yamamoto and Oshi suddenly realize. In 1934, Germany was still very weak and could be hit by Britain and France at any time, so it was necessary to use some weapons to die with the enemy. In 1939, the war had just begun. Germany faced "strong enemies" such as Britain, France and Poland, and its future was uncertain, so it had to hold back some killer moves. It should be no longer needed now.

"Huh," Takijiro Oshiki pinched the photo again and felt strange, "Why is this man fucking a flying bomb without a cockpit? Where is the person sitting? Also, this...thing has wings but no propellers, what exactly is it?"

"This is a rocket man-operated." Gendashi explained, "This is what I saw on a light cruiser in Keel Harbor. This aircraft is not driven by a traditional piston engine to drive the propeller as propulsion, but a ramjet... Do you see the tubular object on its back? This fire-breathing is driven by the fire that is sprayed out."

"I've heard of this kind of thing, and some of us are studying it." Oshiki Takijiro looked at the photo and asked again, "So how can this thing be fucked?"

"Controlled with radio or wires!" Gendashi said, "After the accompanying officer, this kind of 'man-operated rocket' can theoretically hit twenty or thirty kilometers, with a flight speed of 640 kilometers, and a armor-piercing warhead can be installed, which can load up to 800 kilograms. During combat, it can be launched from a launch frame similar to a seaplane catapult, and then operated by the personnel on the destroyer through radio or towed wires, which can accurately attack large enemy surface ships 15-20 kilometers away."

This is actually the naval type of the V1 missile! It can also be regarded as the most primitive carrier-based anti-ship missile. Germany does not engage in strategic bombing now, so the Luftwaffe's interest in the V1 missile is not very high. However, the German Navy and Naval Air Force realize the value of this missile. They combined the original V1 missile with the guided bombs under development and created this "man-operated rocket", the code name is also v1, and the full name is "v1 anti-ship and man-operated rocket". However, the "v" here does not mean "revenge weapon", but "VW", because this weapon is produced by Volkswagen.

After listening to Minami Genda's explanation, Yamamoto Ioruku and Oshiki Takijiro's eyes were red. The 800-kilogram bomb flew out at a speed of 640 kilometers per hour to strike targets 15-20 kilometers away, and could also be manipulated by radio or wires... Then can we use ships like light cruisers to sink the battleship?

"Japan must have such weapons!" Yamamoto Iroku made a decision immediately, "It must be done no matter what!"

"Commander, the current Germans' rocket handling technology is not mature," said Minaki Genda. "Rockets often fail and the guidance system is not reliable. Therefore, the Germans developed a backup technology to replace rockets with rear piston engines and propellers, and to replace wireless or wired control with manned driving."

As he spoke, Minaki Genda took out another photo from the table and handed it to Irosaki Yamamoto. The photo looked more like a rear-engine aircraft with a small cockpit covered with plexiglass.

"This kind of flying bomb has been put into use?" Yamamoto Izuru asked.

Genta shook his head, "No."

"Why?"

"Because personnel always fail to get out of the device," Genda said. "The Germans do not want the personnel who are flying this kind of flying bomb to die together with the enemy ships, but instead want to let them leave the flying bomb at the last moment, but this is not easy to do."

In fact, this kind of man-controlled flight bomb has just begun to be studied. It was inspired by Churchill's fearless aircraft. Now it doesn't even have a prototype. It just made a wooden sample to fool the Japanese.

"Woman's kindness!" Oshiki Takijiro shook his head, "If the Germans did not use any disengagement device, wouldn't it be easy to annihilate the British local fleet? Once the British local fleet is destroyed, Germany will win the war!"

He suddenly turned his head to look at Iroku Yamamoto, "Commander, we should create such a flying bomb, which can not only be launched from a ship, but also be launched with an aircraft, so that we can win with a firm victory!"

Yamamoto Iroru still seemed to hesitate, and Takijiro Oshiki stomped his feet and said, "General, even countries like Britain and Germany are doing it now. What reason do we Japan not do it? Does the general think that we have more capital than England and Germany?"

Yamamoto Iroku was stunned when he heard this, then nodded again, "It's still the truth that Osaki said. Our empire was originally a fight against the strong with the weak. Our naval soldiers should exhaust all their means to repay you with kindness."

...

"Your Majesty, Lieutenant General Tojo, the Minister of the Army, is not only brave enough to serve, but also win the morale of the army. He is also loyal to His Majesty. He is actually the best candidate to serve as Prime Minister and lead the empire through difficulties together."

Just when Yamamoto Iroku was determined to exhaust all means to repay the lord, in the Tokyo Palace, the Minister of Inner Mongolia Yukichi Kido was "deceiving the lord" and recommended Hideki Tojo to Emperor Hirohito, who was sitting on the throne.

Emperor Hirohito tilted his little head slightly, listening very carefully every word. He didn't think that Yukichi Kido was fooling him. After Koebe Fumiya and others merged various major Japanese political parties into the Damasaki Praise, Hirohito was not just the emperor, but the leader or general secretary of the only legal party in Japan... Anyway, who is the prime minister now is his one-word matter.

Hirohito, the "General Secretary" of Tojo, recommended by Yukichi Kido, is very familiar with Hirohito. Although that person is a bit reckless and not very good at thinking, he is a person who is willing to do things and can do big things. This is different from Fumikoto. Although Konoha is smart and considers problems carefully, he is not a person who does big things. He is indecisive when encountering big things and refuses to take responsibility at all. Now he is going to retreat before he fights with the United States. But that's fine, let Konoha retreat and let Tojo do it.

Thinking of this, Japanese Showa Emperor Hirohito nodded, "The people you have recommended are very consistent with my wishes. Now the country is in troubled times, and we should use the courage to serve the ministers. Kido, hurry up and go to the official residence of the Minister of the Army and order Minister Tojo to come and meet him!"

...

"Marson, I just received a telegram from the military officer of the Embassy in Tokyo, the general resigned by the Konoha Cabinet, and Emperor Showa appointed former Minister of the Army Tojo Hide-Chief."

"Hiki Tojo? Look at Japan's determination to fight!" In the building of the General Staff of the German Wehrmacht, Hessman suddenly interrupted Natalie, who was reporting to him the political and diplomatic information of various countries, frowned slightly, and said to himself.

Natalie glanced at Hessman and then reported: "In addition, the military officers stationed in Tokyo also reported that Japan will send a senior military delegation to our country in the near future to discuss strengthening technical cooperation and joint combat."

This is obviously Hideki Tojo's decision after becoming prime minister, and he will join forces with Germany to deal with the United States' *oss.

Natalie continued: "Someone published an article in Pravda in the name of 'a German Bolshevik' entitled "Is Germany a socialist country?" in Pravda. In addition, Pravda also published the news on an important page that the Grand Duke Kira, the heir of the Romanov dynasty, became the German crown princess!"

She looked at Hessman and said, "Marty, Pravda is an official publication of the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union. The articles and news on it are politically oriented... Articles like "Is Germany a socialist country?" will not be published in Pravda without the approval of the Bolshevik Party's propaganda and agitation department!"

"The Soviet Union is also creating public opinion for the war!" Hessman of course knew how much the articles in Pravda were.

"Yes," Natalie said seriously, "y ideology was important to the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Bolsheviks called us 'socialist comrades plus brothers', then the war would not have broken out immediately."

This is Soviet-style political correctness, with the ideology of gism being in charge, and it is unlikely that the Soviet Red Army will launch a surprise attack on "socialist comrades plus brothers" and "great comrades in the world revolution."

It would be fine if this treacherous raid could directly attack Berlin, but Germany was not so easy to deal with. Although Hessman did not have the idea of ​​actively attacking the Soviet Union, it did not mean that he would not be prepared for defense on the eastern border. In fact, after the end of the Polish battle, the German army had been strengthening the defense of the eastern region (including Borussia, Western Ukraine and Poland), and there was no possibility of being suddenly attacked.

Once the Soviet-German War became a protracted war with heavy casualties, the Soviets' own thoughts would be chaotic, and why did they suddenly attack the good comrades and brothers of the world revolution? Is this consistent with Marxism-Leninism? Should it be a traitor to the central government?
