Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

What was even more frightening was that Marshall felt that the Germans had no intention of armistice at all.

After all, once the Soviet Union is destroyed, the only thing that can pose a threat to Germany is the United States, and the Germans will definitely want to get rid of it quickly. Therefore, the Germans would put forward such absurd conditions that would not be accepted by their own side. They might also be able to deceive their own people and say that the war would continue because the Americans did not agree to an armistice.

At this time, the German high-altitude bombers that had dropped their bombs had returned, while the fleet stayed in the sea three hundred kilometers away from Boston.

It was clear that German bombers would come again.

"Damn it." Just as everyone in the conference room was thinking of countermeasures with sad faces, sailors on an escort aircraft carrier in the German fleet were busy running back and forth. They transported the cruise missiles one by one from the hangar to the deck, and installed them on the launchers with the help of a crane. There are ten launchers on the deck.

"emission!"

As the order was given, the first launch pad was shrouded in thick smoke from the missile, and the missile soared into the sky and headed straight for the sky.

This is an imitation of the original time and space US military's first-generation carrier-based cruise missile "Tiens". This missile was the pioneer of the US Navy's land-attack cruise missile. Even the "Tomahawk" cruise missile equipped in large numbers in later generations was used. It was successfully developed based on a large amount of technology accumulation.

This missile is improved on the basis of the German V-1. After World War II, the U.S. military realized the power of the V-1 missile by seizing documents, drawings, and capturing a large number of German engineers, and determined that missiles would be the main tool in future wars. The U.S. military has begun in-depth development of a series of first-generation cruise missiles such as land-launched (Sharknado, Matador), sea-launched (Tiens), and air-launched (Houndhound).

The "Tiens" carrier-based cruise missile is mainly carried on surface ships and submarines such as aircraft carriers and destroyers, and is used to attack local ground strategic targets, such as political/economic centers, large military bases, etc., so it is also called the "ship-to-ground strategy" "Cruise missile" was the most important long-range strike weapon developed by the U.S. Navy at that time. (This earliest ship-to-surface missile did not have a precise guidance system, and the circular probability error was very large. Conventional warheads that could hit a target as big as a building were completely "a blind cat meets a dead mouse." Therefore, such large-scale missiles in the early Cold War Missiles must be equipped with nuclear warheads to make up for the lack of accuracy with huge nuclear explosion power.)

The first-generation "Tiens" missile uses a head inlet, which also reflects the obvious subsonic airfoil characteristics. Two solid booster rockets are located on both sides of the tail of the missile. The appearance and aerodynamic layout are like a missile without the cockpit. The first-generation F-86 jet fighter, (the Soviet Union's first-generation AS-1 anti-ship missile resembles a MiG-15). After all, the "Tiens" missile was developed in the era when the "jet aerodynamic layout" theory had just entered the right track. It was not as mature as in later generations, and it was impossible to optimize the missile's aerodynamic layout. Fortunately, ten theories had already appeared in that era. There are multiple models of jet fighters, so it is normal for missiles to look like airplanes.

What’s interesting is that not long after this missile was born, it even served as a messenger. In the late 1950s, U.S. Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield proposed a bold idea: to allow naval officers and soldiers on the vast ocean to easily contact their families (in the early years, there were no communication satellites or relay satellites to communicate between the fleet and rear bases. , there is only a long-wave station, but the communication quality of the long-wave station is very poor, and there are only a few letters transmitted). It is hoped that the US Navy’s missiles can be used to launch letters from officers and soldiers to the local post office, and then quickly send letters carrying family members. Use missiles to launch missiles to the location of the fleet, so that officers and soldiers serving on the ship can complete communications with their families within a few hours.

The postal minister's "imagination" received strong support from the navy, and he immediately modified it with a "Tiens" missile. After removing the warhead, a mail box was installed in the vacated position and 3,000 letters were loaded. The experiment was carried out, and after a flight of nearly 1,000 kilometers, the "Tiens" missile arrived safely in Virginia. The Minister personally went to the airport to "receive the bomb", and 3,000 letters were intact.

However, the test was stopped after only one test, because a "Tiens" missile was worth US$250,000, and the per capita GDP of the United States in 1960 was about US$1,800. Who would dare to send letters with such a high cost? Use missiles to mail letters. It had no commercial value and had to give up in the end.

The sea breeze dispersed the thick smoke on the deck, and the second missile was launched. Then came the third and fourth, and soon, ten missiles were launched one after another.

"Keep reloading, fifty will be fired tonight."

Soon, American coastal radars discovered these aircraft, and President Wilkie, who was about to take a rest, was awakened by a ringing phone call from Commander Arnold. "Mr. President, coastal radar has detected a number of unidentified aircraft."

President Wilkie yawned. "What aircraft? Isn't it a German bomber?" But something was wrong. The last bomber group had just left not long ago, so why did it come again so soon.

"The speed of these aircraft reached 750 kilometers per hour."

"What?!" President Wilkie was shocked. Flying speed 750 kilometers per hour? ! What the hell is this so fast? !

Commander Arnold continued. "I suspect that the Germans launched their 'flying bombs.'" They had previously learned from the Spanish that the German "flying bombs" had a range of more than 1,200 kilometers and could be launched not only from land, warships, and even mounted bombers. All can be launched. The maximum flight speed can reach 750 kilometers per hour. Presumably these unidentified aircraft are the German "flying bombs."

President Wilkie also recalled an incident when the Spaniards wanted to sell the design drawings of the "Flying Bomb" for 500 tons of gold. President Roosevelt and later him thought it was too expensive, and the deal could not be reached. After that, the Germans did not use these flying bombs to attack the United States for a long time, and they gradually forgot about it. "Where are those missiles headed? How many are there?"

"Ten in total, they are coming straight to Washington."

"Damn it!" President Wilkie couldn't help but curse softly. These hateful Germans must have known that there were 150mm anti-aircraft guns deployed around Washington and did not dare to send their bombers, so they launched an attack with such "flying bombs". These bastards Are you planning to flatten Washington?
