Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

"Can our 150mm anti-aircraft guns shoot them down?"

Commander Arnold sighed. "I'm afraid not, Mr. President." The flight altitude of these "flying bombs" does not exceed 5,000 meters. Even ordinary medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns can hit them. But the problem is that they want to shoot down the bombs flying at a high speed of 750 kilometers per hour this night. Aircraft, that is really more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Just as President Wilkie was about to say something, Commander Arnold's disbelieving exclamation came from the other end of the phone. "What?! Are you sure?! Is there more?!"

President Wilkie asked hastily. "What happened?!"

Commander Arnold said a little frustrated. "Mr. President, our radar has discovered 10 more aircraft, which should also be those 'flying bombs'."

It was really bad news. President Wilkie had a bad premonition in his heart. He felt that the Germans would not just launch these 20 "flying bombs." Although he did not know how much these missiles cost, Germany today There is no shortage of money either. Even if the cost of these missiles is equivalent to gold, they can still make them.

Sure enough, this ominous premonition was soon fulfilled. Radar detected five waves of unidentified aircraft one after another, that is, a total of fifty "flying bombs", all heading straight for Washington.

More than an hour later, the first wave of "flying bombs" flew over Washington. The mechanical timer inside the missile activated the oil circuit cutter, cutting off the oil supply. The missile instantly lost power and could only rely on inertia to fly forward. At the same time, the spoilers that were opened greatly decelerated the missiles, and the missiles dived downward one after another.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The successive explosions of ten missiles even reached the secret military base in the suburbs of Washington. Commander Arnold looked very ugly. "The amount of this charge is at least a ton." He couldn't help but feel that Germany's technological development was really scary. In just a dozen years, they had left other countries far behind. How did they do it? !

While sighing, the next wave of missiles struck again. That night, Washington city was hit by 36 missiles. Another 6 missiles crashed midway due to malfunctions, and 8 landed in the suburbs outside Washington city.

At the same moment, a huge convoy drove into a military base on the outskirts of Smolensk. In addition to self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, and Panther tanks, the most in the convoy are giant trucks with cabins covered with camouflage nets.

The troops originally stationed here have been transferred, and the entire base is deserted.

A major general of the Guards Force X stepped out of a command vehicle, glanced at the empty base, and gave instructions. "Prepare to launch missiles, calibrate and shoot Zhuyuan. Target, Moscow!"

The soldiers quickly pulled off the camouflage net on the truck, revealing large missiles. These trucks were specialized missile transport launch vehicles, similar to the Scud missile launchers of later generations. As the soldiers in the control room of the launch vehicle pressed various buttons, four sets of hydraulic pillars unfolded from both sides of the launch vehicle chassis to the side. Then, at the lower end of the pillar, the pillar began to extend outwards, all the way to the ground, firmly fixing the huge missile launcher.

Several soldiers held a level in their hands and inspected all parts of the missile launch vehicle. "Report, the balance of the center of gravity is fine." This was originally a military base, and the ground is quite flat, so it doesn't require much adjustment.

"Put up the missiles!"

"Woo~" Accompanied by a slight hydraulic sound, supported by the hydraulic pillars connected to the chassis on both sides of the missile, the 17-meter-long missile on the chassis of the launch vehicle with a diameter of nearly two meters began to slowly stand up toward the sky. .

Fuel filling trucks drove over one after another. Due to current technical reasons, liquid fuel rockets cannot be stored for a long time and can only be filled before launch. If it is filled in advance, once the launch mission is cancelled, even if the fuel is extracted, it will also cause damage to the missile body.

Everyone present wore airtight protective clothing and gas masks. The most primitive rocket fuels are liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. Although they are not toxic, it is well known that hydrogen is the most reactive of all elements, and it is extremely difficult to control the combustion of liquid hydrogen. Therefore, even in future generations, liquid hydrogen will not be used as fuel for the first and second stage rockets to avoid explosion accidents during low-altitude launches. It is mostly used as propellant for high-energy final-stage rockets in high-altitude navigation.

The most commonly used liquid combustion agent is hydrazine, which is a nitrogen-containing compound and a toxic and corrosive oily liquid. It is very dangerous during the perfusion operation. Any operation that violates the rules may bring the most dire consequences.

While refueling, the other team was busy determining the coordinates of their own side and the target. As the saying goes, a miss can make a thousand miles. In the era without GPS navigation, even if there was a slight deviation in the launch coordinates, the landing point of these missiles might be inaccurate by tens or even hundreds of kilometers. They determined their own coordinates based on maps, radio locators and other equipment, and then input these coordinates into a simple digital calculator, which will provide various data needed for shooting.

After working for a long time, the fuel for the 50 missiles was completed and the target coordinates were input into the guidance system.

"Gyro starts."

"The gyro starts normally."

"Countdown to launch."

"Five minutes to prepare!"

No one could be seen around the missile launch vehicle, and all personnel evacuated to safe positions around it.

"One minute to prepare!"

"ignition!"

The major general gave the order to ignite, and the fuel in the fuel chamber flowed into the rocket engine under the action of the fuel pump. In an instant, a stream of white gas came out of the tail nozzle. The next second, hot flames came from the tail nozzle. Squirted out. The entire military base was instantly shrouded in thick smoke, and everyone in the bunker was also submerged in the thick smoke. They could not see anything, only heard waves of huge roars, and the entire ground shook.

The roar became farther and farther away, and after a while, it was no longer audible.

After waiting for most of the day, the major general took off his gas mask and took a deep breath after the thick fog was blown away by the wind. Just as he was about to get up, a scream came from not far away. "hidden!!"

The major general lay down subconsciously and shouted loudly. "what's the situation?!"

A soldier not far away shouted back. "General, a missile was not launched!"

"!!" The major general carefully poked his head out and saw a missile still standing on the launch vehicle in the distance.

"Damn it!" the major general cursed in a low voice. If this missile exploded on the spot, many missile launchers around it would suffer.
