Chapter 428: Missile Technology That Strikes Everything (Part I)
Modern warfare is dominated by missiles, and whether it is land, sea, or air warfare, missiles are the main weapons. The www.biquge.info air-space fighter is already on the horizon, if you can't make a missile to match it, then how can you do it?
As soon as Ye Chen found Zhuang Lao and said, Zhuang Lao immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, do you know? I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and you're finally coming to me, hehe. ”
Zhuang Lao is Ye Chen's benefactor, Ye Chen can have today, Zhuang Lao's help is particularly huge. It can be said that without Elder Zhuang's help, Ye Chen would have had much more and greater difficulties to solve if he wanted to get to this point.
Zhuang Lao had high hopes for Ye Chen, hoping that Ye Chen could make greater contributions. Of course, Zhuang Lao hoped that Ye Chen could study missiles and inherit his mantle.
How powerful Ye Chen is, Zhuang Lao knows best, if Ye Chen can come to study missiles, it will definitely make our country's missile technology to a higher level, which is a great thing for our country.
"Elder Zhuang, I've wanted to ask you for advice for a long time, but I've been too busy to spare time." Ye Chen said with a smile.
How busy Ye Chen was, Zhuang Lao knew very well, nodded, and said, "I know." Therefore, I have not rushed you, I believe that when you are done, you will come to me. ”
As Ye Chen's benefactor, Zhuang Lao couldn't be clearer about Ye Chen's affairs. It's not that Ye Chen doesn't want to make missiles, it's just that he can't spare time.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhuang, for your understanding." Ye Chen's heart warmed, Zhuang Lao was thinking about everything for himself.
"Xiao Ye, you're busy with work and time is tight, so I won't say more, let's start." Zhuang Lao was not polite, and said: "Speaking of missiles, we have to mention Germany." ”
If you were a different person, you might ask what the missile has to do with Germany? As a military fan, Ye Chen will not have such a problem, he knows very well what missiles have to do with Germany.
"After the end of the Second World War, Germany left behind two technologies that have an important impact on the world today." Zhuang Lao continued: "One is aircraft engines, and the other is missiles. Germany manufactured a large number of jet aircraft in World War II, which was the most advanced aircraft in the world at that time, and it was a good demonstration of Germany's scientific and technological strength. However, due to the lack of resources in Germany and the lack of fuel, a large number of jets were blown up by Allied planes at the airfield. ”
At the end of World War II, Germany built a large number of jets. It was the most advanced fighter in the world at that time, with high speed, high flight and extremely powerful attack power.
If it were to be put into battle, it might allow Germany to regain air supremacy.
However, due to the lack of resources in Germany, there was not enough fuel for these planes to take to the sky, and they could only watch as they were bombed by Allied planes on the airfield.
The jets that were blown up were not a little, but hundreds, if not thousands.
This is a good illustration of the importance of resources to war, to a country.
"The aviation used by jet aircraft is very advanced, and the technology was seized by the United States and the Red Empire, and their own advanced aviation engines were developed." Zhuang Lao said: "Hangfa was the first in Britain to transform it into a gas turbine used by ships, which greatly improved the performance of warships. ”
The launch of jet aircraft was revolutionary in the history of aviation, not only greatly improving the performance of aircraft, but also being the first in Britain to transform into a gas turbine for ships. The United States also joined in, and the United States eventually had the most advanced gas turbine technology in the world, which was a big reason why the United States was able to have ten aircraft carriers.
After the end of World War II, the United States captured many German jet scientists, who eventually had to work for the United States.
Our Father of Missiles, along with his American mentor, went to interrogate his grandfather, a famous scientist of jet aircraft.
"The missile, which was also invented by Germany in World War II, was called the V-bomb at the time." Zhuang Lao continued: "Germany made a total of two models to bomb London. Xiao Ye, you are a military fan, you should know what happened on the battlefield in Europe, right? ”
"I know." Ye Chen nodded and said, "Germany implemented the famous 'Manstein Plan', concentrating a large number of tank clusters to break through the Ardennes area with many forests and swamps, and caught the British and French forces by surprise. A large number of German troops penetrated the back of the allied forces and took Paris directly. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but shake his head and said: "At that time, the British and French forces always thought that they were the victors of the First World War, sitting on their old books, not thinking about progress, rigid thinking, and backward tactics. When the German panzer group reached the edge of Paris, they thought that if the German army wanted to cross the river, it would have to be prepared for a few days, as it had been during the First World War. As a result, the deployment of the British and French forces was slow and methodical, and there was no hurry at all. However, to their surprise, the German army did not fight as they had envisioned, reaching the river in the morning and successfully crossing the river in the afternoon to take Paris. The coalition forces suffered heavy losses, the French capital was captured and had to surrender. ”
Friends who are familiar with the history of World War II must know that the actions of the British and French forces are laughable and laughable.
"The remnants of the Anglo-French army had to retreat, and hundreds of thousands of troops withdrew to Dunkerke, which was already in a desperate situation, and it was only a matter of time before they were completely annihilated by Germany." Ye Chen continued: "Seeing that the German armored cluster was about to fight, this made the British and French forces desperate, and at this moment, an unexpected situation happened, the Führer ordered the armored cluster to stop the attack, and used the air force to blow up the British and French forces on the beach. After the war, many people were accusing the Führer of Hu Lai, but in fact, the Führer also had his own measurements. At that time, the tanks used by the German army were not outstanding in performance, and there were even more problems in quality, and there were already quite a few tanks that had problems, and the Führer did not want to let the Panzer Group lose too much, so he gave this task to the Air Force. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Chen paused slightly and said, "This change has given the British and French coalition an unexpected vitality. At that time, even British Prime Minister Qiu Fatzi was desperate, believing that the British army could not be withdrawn. The survival lies in the fact that no one thought about the fact that the sand on the beach would be wrapped in shrapnel, reducing the lethality. At first, when the Luftwaffe bombed, the Coalition forces were panicked. Later, it turned out that there was not much threat, and when the Luftwaffe bombed again, they simply ignored it. ”
The success of the Dunkersk retreat was attributed to the mistakes of the Führer. Actually, this is not true, this is a mistake. The fact that the sand would wrap itself in shrapnel had never appeared in the history of warfare before, and no one thought about it.
"When the Führer realized the problem, knowing that the Luftwaffe alone would not be able to achieve its goal, he re-ordered the German panzer cluster to attack, but the time had been missed. The Anglo-French forces had stabilized their positions and deployed nearly 100,000 troops for defense to buy time for retreat. Ye Chen said again: "In order to withdraw the army, Qiu Fatzi exerted all his strength and sent out all the boats that could be sent, even the fishing boats were also in battle, and finally withdrew more than 300,000 people. ”
"Although so many people were successfully evacuated, only the people came back, and the weapons and equipment were lost. At that time, Britain was undefended, and if Germany landed, it would have easily captured Britain. However, this is impossible, because the German navy is not good, and the British navy is still there, and it is completely possible to bury the German landing force to the bottom of the sea. The Führer realized this and had to postpone the Sea Lion plan indefinitely and use the Luftwaffe to bomb London instead. ”
If Germany had a strong navy in World War II, the outcome of World War II would have been rewritten.
The British Army suffered heavy losses, but there were still a lot of personnel, but they had no weapons and could only fight with their bare hands.
However, the British navy was still there, enough to prevent the German landing in Britain.
"As a result of the German bombing of London, as many people know, Germany failed. Why did Germany fail? Many people are accusing German Reich Marshal Goering of being too arrogant and misjudging the situation. In fact, this argument is untenable. Goering's judgment was not wrong, but what he didn't expect was that Britain invented radar, which made air combat more efficient, and the losses were not as serious as Goering estimated. Ye Chen was very clear about this history, and said: "Although Britain thwarted the German offensive, the Führer has not forgotten London and has been secretly researching a new type of weapon, that is, missiles. ”
Germany developed missiles to deal with Britain, and wanted to defeat Britain with missiles.
"It can be said that the emergence of missiles is an important milestone in the history of human warfare, which has brought war into a completely new mode." Ye Chen analyzed and said: "There is a saying in modern warfare that 'when it is discovered, it is destroyed', which refers to the important role of missiles. Once it is detected by the enemy's radar, it means that it is locked by the enemy's missile, and the missile will go straight to the target. ”
The invention of missiles is of great significance in the history of human warfare, and it can also be said to be of revolutionary significance, making "long-range strikes" a long-range strike in the true sense.
Before that, long-range strikes were also artillery, which could hit dozens of miles. Now artillery can hit more than 100 or 200 kilometers, which is the top of the sky.
How far can a missile hit? Short-range missiles can hit hundreds of kilometers, medium-range missiles can hit thousands of kilometers, long-range missiles can hit thousands of kilometers, and intercontinental missiles can hit more than 10,000 kilometers.
This is a long-range strike in the true sense of the word.
"However, at the time of the invention of the missile, there was no such enormous power, and the Führer's idea of using missiles to force Britain to submit ultimately failed." Ye Chen continued: "In the final analysis, there were several problems with the missiles at that time: first, accuracy was a big problem, and second, the explosion power was not strong enough. ”
At that time, Germany launched missiles, and accuracy was a big problem. At that time, radar was Britain's secret weapon, and Germany was unaware of such advanced detection methods, let alone used to cooperate with missiles.
If Goering had known that Britain had radar, he would not have miscalculated.
At that time, Germany was looking in one direction, roughly enough, and carried out the launch.
As for whether the fight is accurate, God knows.
Not to mention the power of the explosion, how can there be such a high explosive as now, its power can be imagined.
