Chapter 473: Deep Sea Silo
When Cang Hao heard this, he was not surprised, but admired that the brain circuits of these Nazis were really special. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Just as Cang Hao just said, the engineering and technical difficulty of building a fixed silo for ballistic missiles on the seabed is quite astonishing.
The engineering structure of the silo had to take into account the enormous pressure of seawater, which had to be specially made due to its incredibly corrosive nature. Not to mention how difficult it is to construct and how troublesome it is to maintain and overhaul it on a daily basis.
Therefore, countries will only build stationary silos on land, not in the sea.
You know, this is an extremely deep seabed of 7,000 meters underwater, and the overall difficulty of building a fixed silo here is dozens of times that of an ordinary seabed.
The Nazis were really good, they overcame all these technical problems, but why didn't they refuse to use nuclear submarines, isn't it relatively simpler?
So their brain circuits are a bit special, and if you look back at the Second World War, you will find that they built a lot of inexplicable weapons.
For example, the famous Gustav train gun during World War II, also known as the Dora cannon, is a super artillery gun installed on a train.
Note that this is not an ordinary train, but a super train running on a special four-track track, with a total length of more than fifty meters, a height of twelve meters, a gun barrel length of an astonishing thirty-two meters, and a total combat weight of more than 1,400 tons.
On the other hand, the caliber of this gun is equally impressive, reaching 800 mm, which cannot be said to be unprecedented, but it is definitely unprecedented.
It was not until the end of World War II that the U.S. military developed the Little David mortar, with a caliber of 914 mm, which surpassed the Gustav train gun.
Although not unique, in the foreseeable future, armies will no longer develop artillery of this caliber because it is too bulky.
Each Gustav armor-piercing bomb weighed 7.1 tons, a high-explosive bomb weighed 4.8 tons, and the propulsion fuel was 2 tons.
Such a huge shell, not to mention transport, even loading is a big trouble, you need to use a crane to lift the shell to the tail of the gun, and then use a light tank to push the shell into the chamber.
Because the gun was so large, it was necessary to use three specially built giant transport trains to transport the main components to the predetermined positions, and then the base was hoisted by a heavy machine, and then the gun carriage, barrel and reloading mechanism were installed, and the whole installation process took three weeks.
And because the artillery is too heavy, many bridges can't bear such a weight, and there are often detours when transporting, which also takes a long time.
Just this artillery itself, a major general needs to command more than 1,400 people to ensure normal shooting.
At the same time, since the Gustav train artillery target is too large and needs to be prepared for enemy air attacks, it is necessary to deploy air defense units and alert aircraft in perimeter positions, and a large number of infantry and armored vehicles patrol within a radius of ten kilometers.
With the addition of these vigilance personnel, the total number of people needed for the entire Gustav train gun to be put into service exceeded four thousand.
There is no doubt that such a huge caliber of artillery has amazing power, and the first time Gustav train guns were put into combat was in Sevastopol, when a single shot overturned the ammunition depot buried deep in the ground of the Soviet army.
The appearance of the Gustav train cannon is extremely magnificent, which can be called the miracle of the human machinery industry, but the cost-effectiveness ratio of this weapon is too low, it can only fire fourteen shells per day, plus the target is too large and extremely easy to attack, not to mention that 4,000 people are already half a division's strength, and they can receive better combat results directly into the battlefield, so the ornamental value of this weapon is greater than the actual combat value.
The reason why Cang Hao thought of this history was precisely because the Nazis often showed a state of great joy in the development of weapons, they pursued engineering miracles that no one had ever done before, and they liked to make weapons have an amazing appearance, but they only ignored the most important indicator of weapons - practicality.
The Gustav train cannon is an example, as are the deep-sea silos in front of you, and while admiring the Nazis' amazing scientific and industrial capabilities, you have to wonder what went wrong with their brain circuits.
There is no doubt that Le Gemann is very proud of these underwater silos: "The mere fact that these silos were built is a miracle in the history of human engineering." ”
Cang Hao had to nod: "That's right." ”
"The silos themselves can withstand the tremendous pressure of the seabed, and the missiles inside are also specially designed to go straight into the shallow sea in the deep sea and then leap out into the atmosphere......" After a pause, Mr. Lezhmann continued: "These are all ICBMs, some aimed at Washington, some aimed at Moscow." With the command of our Supreme Leader, all these big cities were gone in a matter of minutes. ”
"It's really embarrassing for you to build so many nuclear warheads in the 7,000-meter-deep sea. ”
"You think it's a nuclear warhead?"
Cang Hao asked very strangely: "Isn't it?"
"Mr. Cang, as a generation of soldier kings, I am afraid that you lack a little imagination. "With nuclear missiles, you can destroy your opponent, but the damage to the environment is also huge." Our ultimate goal is to reign over Europe, and if we smash the whole of Europe to the ground, we will have to bother to rebuild. In that case, why not preserve the original appearance of Europe as it is now, and on this basis we continue to develop, and we can achieve better results?!"
Lergerman said, pressing the button again, and the dense deep-sea silos on the screen disappeared.
It seems that Lezhman doesn't want Cang Hao to know too much, but it doesn't matter anymore, Cang Hao speculates from Lezhman's words that these missiles in the deep-sea silos are not loaded with nuclear warheads, but biological and chemical weapons.
The terrible thing about biological and chemical weapons is that the army of the enemy country or even the entire population is completely wiped out, but the infrastructure, industry, military equipment and various material wealth of the enemy country are retained, and this is why the Khmer Rouge, Kayida, Choshu and Jusui are all favored by biological and chemical weapons.
"You should see that we are more advanced than any country on the ground......" Lejman smiled triumphantly: "For us, when to conquer the world depends only on the opinion of the Supreme Leader!"
"Over the years, all kinds of legends about Bermuda must have been spread by you, right? It is true that Bermuda has wrecked a lot of planes and ships, and you have done it, right?"
Lejmann asked rhetorically: "What do you say?"
"If you already have such power, why don't you conquer the world right away?"
Legermann replied vaguely: "For the time being, we still need to accumulate...... This is what the Supreme Leader said. ”
The so-called "accumulation" of Lezhmann, which should not be military technology, should be enough for them.
As for the number of weapons and equipment, it is not a problem for them, as long as they use biological weapons to sweep the army of any powerful country, and then they send people to accept the weapons and equipment of this army, the wonder of biological weapons is that you can pick up ready-made.
The real meaning of "accumulation" should be human resources, and the Nazis, because of their deep sea, had extremely limited room for development, which led to an extremely slow rate of population growth.
As they themselves say, in an environment where the amount of air everyone breathes needs to be accurately calculated, it is impossible for a woman to have a child casually.
If the Romanian Ceausescu had ruled such a country, he would not have been able to wait for himself to be shot indiscriminately, and would have been suffocated to death by the tense air resources.
At the same time, it also explains why the hospital manipulated Kakozhia and Jezelca, when in fact what Legerman did in these two small countries was only part of a much larger plan, and the key to the whole plan was human resources.
To analyze this plan, we must first start with how much destruction the Nazis really have, although Lezhmain's words are terrifying, but about 100 silos are just about 100 ICBMs.
No matter what kind of virus or poison gas it carries, it is not enough to destroy the whole world with just 100 pieces. Although the world is now called the "global village", the surface of the earth is so huge that it is difficult for a single 100 ICBMs to destroy only one part of Europe.
Cang Hao estimated that the Nazis' target was Europe, and both Lezhmann and Patricia had said that they wanted to "rule Europe", and that returning to their homeland and ruling there was what they really wanted. Although they lurk next to country M, they may not have a great interest in the Americas, and even if they have the intention of annexation, they are afraid that they do not have the strength to annex.
Then, if the Nazis completely emptied the whole of Europe and did not have enough troops to effectively occupy it, then they would be exposing their own strength, and it would be even more dangerous. In this way, the Americas may launch a counterattack, especially if the Congress sends troops to occupy Europe, and the Nazis will not be able to resist it at all.
It is even possible that South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand will send troops back to their hometowns, and the Nazis will go to great lengths to make wedding clothes for others.
It is also Europe that the biggest problem for the Nazis is country E, and historically, country E is the sworn enemy of the Nazis, needless to say.
Country E is a very peculiar country, in every sense of the word, it is a traditional European country, but most of its territory is in Asia. Even if the Nazis were really able to destroy the whole of Europe, country E would survive, which means that even if country M, New Zealand, Australia, and other countries did not send troops to occupy Europe, country E is likely to counterattack Europe and fight the Nazis.
It is natural to foresee, then, that if Jezelça and Kakozhia could merge and the two small states build up a large army, then they could fight together with the Nazis.
Cang Hao nodded: "I understand what you mean." ”
"You destroyed the Lejman Hospital, it's okay, we still have a backup plan......" Lejman said with a smile, "Are you willing to cooperate with us now?"
