Ye Chen is a military fan, and he is very familiar with the situation of V-bombs, and he said it like a few treasures. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Germany has developed a total of two models, one is the V1 bomb, which is a cruise missile." Ye Chen continued: "At that time, due to technical problems, the performance of cruise missiles was not very good, and they were easy to be intercepted by aircraft artillery. However, the construction of such missiles was very cheap, and Germany made tens of thousands of them, most of which were thrown to Britain, causing heavy losses to Britain and huge damage to London. This created panic to a certain extent, and Qiu Fatzi had to order war insurance. This incident has always made Qiu Fatzi proud, thinking that this is one of his great deeds. ”

War insurance, that sounds like a lot of. War is destruction, large-scale destruction, and whoever takes war insurance will definitely lose his pants. But in World War II, Britain did just that. Qiu Fatzi did this with the guarantee of the state, and he has always been very complacent.

"The other is called the V2 bomb, which is a ballistic missile. This missile is undefendable and has caused a great deal of panic in the UK. Ye Chen said again: "Germany's research on missiles is to defeat Britain and force Britain to surrender through this new weapon. However, this idea did not come to fruition in the end, and many people accused the Germans of delusion, which is not right, and it should be said that this weapon appeared late, and if it had appeared a few years earlier, the Germans would not have been able to achieve their goal. ”

Germany's use of missiles to bomb London only began in June 1944, and those who are familiar with the history of World War II know that Germany's fate was already doomed and inevitable defeat in that year.

On the Eastern Front, the Red Empire was victorious, having regained all its territory, and millions of troops were attacking the west like a tidal wave, heading towards Berlin, the capital of Germany.

On the Western Front, the Anglo-American allies opened a second war, successfully landed in Normandy and began a counteroffensive on the European continent.

This is great news for the anti-fascist camp, morale is high, victory is expected, not to mention that Germany bombs London, even if it razes London to the ground, Britain will not surrender.

If the missiles had appeared a few years earlier and had been put into use after the Dunkerk retreat, they would have caused huge losses to Britain and would have dealt a heavy blow to Britain in terms of morale, and it is difficult to say whether Britain would have been able to hold out.

After the retreat from Dunkelke, the British were demoralized and despondent, and had no determination to resist resolutely. If it is bombarded by missiles at this time, it is likely to be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Of course, this was also due to the fact that at the time, the accuracy of missiles was a big problem. Germany wanted to bomb London, but it turned out that a large part of the missiles fell somewhere else and did not reach London at all.

If the missiles at that time had been as accurate as they are now, they could have carried out a decapitation operation and killed the British head and the Allied high command. In that case, the consequences are severe.

"Missiles, so to speak, are one of the most terrible and evil weapons in human history. The combination of missiles, radars, satellites, and nuclear weapons has made mankind live in the shadow of nuclear war. Ye Chen then commented, "If there were no missiles, even if there were nuclear weapons, the threat to mankind would not be so great." ”

Zhuang Lao nodded heavily, agreeing with Ye Chen's statement.

Ye Chen's statement is not exaggerated at all, missiles can really be called one of the most terrifying and evil weapons in human history. If there were no missiles, even if nuclear weapons were needed, the threat to humanity would not be so great.

To use an analogy, a missile is a gun, and a nuclear weapon is a bullet. What's the use of bullets without guns?

With missiles, nuclear weapons can be used in a variety of ways, from space, from submarines, from land, which makes nuclear weapons unguardable.

And, of course, throw from an airplane. However, the speed of the aircraft is relatively slow, the penetration capability is not as strong as that of the missile, and the threat is relatively small.

"However, in terms of civilian scientific research, the emergence of missiles is one of the most outstanding inventions in human history and has made important contributions to human progress." Ye Chen changed his words and said, "If there are no missiles, it is impossible to have satellites in the sky, no space stations, no successful moon landing, and no exploration of Mars." ”

The difference between a missile and a rocket is only that there is no warhead, what a missile can do, a rocket can do, and the technology is not much different.

We are now able to make transatlantic calls and use navigation systems because of the presence of satellites in the sky. But can satellites go into the sky without launch vehicles?

Can there be manned spaceflight without rockets? Can a space station be built? Can the moon landing be achieved? Can Mars be explored? Is it possible to conduct deep space exploration?

In a word, the invention of missiles is the cornerstone of mankind's rush out of the earth and into space.

From this point of view, the invention of the missile is one of the most outstanding inventions in the history of mankind, which has an extremely significant impact on mankind and has made mankind's dream of flying into the sky a reality.

"Well, Xiao Ye, you are a very good military fan, you are very familiar with the history of missiles, and you have a thorough understanding of it." Zhuang Lao was very appreciative and said: "Although there are many problems with the missiles used in World War II, people know that this weapon has broad development prospects and unlimited prospects. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuang Lao's tone turned higher and said: "According to the Yalta Agreement, the main location of the V2 missile production plant, Pinamon, was assigned to the Red Empire trusteeship, and the United States was very unwilling, and the US military formed a commando team to urgently carry out the "Paperclip" operation. In the 10 days from May 22 to May 31, 1945, the American army advanced into the Bavarian zone and occupied the area, using 300 train cars and 13 steamers to rush nearly 100 V2 missiles and related equipment and semi-finished products. ”

"What's more, the United States sent 126 German missile experts to the United States and forced them to work for the United States, and by 1946 the United States had launched the first V2 missile. This is an astonishing speed, and it would not have been possible if the United States had not captured so many German scientists. ”

The United States has always had the most advanced missile technology in the world, and in the final analysis, that is because the United States has a higher starting point and has developed on the basis of Germany. Without this foundation, would the United States have possessed such advanced missile technology?

It's hard for anyone to say.

"The advantage of the United States doing this is that it directly skips the basic research stage, does not need to conduct preliminary research, and can be used directly." Zhuang Lao is worthy of being a missile expert and is very familiar with the history of missiles, and said: "Germany has been researching missiles since the late twenties of the twentieth century, and it was not used until 1944, which is a period of more than ten or nearly two decades. Germany's research has saved the United States nearly 20 years, and can American missile technology not be the most advanced in the world? ”

A few years ago, we often saw a saying in the media that the United States despised the Celestial Empire, and the technology of the Celestial Empire was more than ten or twenty years behind the United States. In the end, it's a generation behind.

No matter how good we are and how fast we develop, this time is difficult to shorten. The reason is that the development of a new and high technology must have an early accumulation, and without the early accumulation, it is impossible to accomplish it. It will take about ten or twenty years to complete the early accumulation.

Of course, our country sees this, so our country does not follow behind the Western countries led by the United States, but wants to find a unique path of its own, and to achieve "overtaking in corners".

Otherwise, if you follow others, you will never be able to catch up.

"Our country is many years late in conducting missile research, in terms of time." Zhuang Lao shook his head, with a sad face, and said: "If we count the time when the United States researched missiles, we are nearly twenty years late. This is not right, if you count from the time when Germany was working on missiles, you have to add another twenty years, which is almost forty years. ”

Needless to say, the United States has arrested so many German missile experts, including the person in charge of Germany's missiles.

These German scientists not only worked for the United States and built missiles for the United States, but also trained personnel for the United States, so that the United States suddenly had a large number of high-level missile experts.

The gap of forty years is not so easy to catch up, previously, our country lagged behind the United States in missile technology, and this is normal.

"In addition, our country has a weak industrial base, a shortage of talents, and a shortage of experimental equipment. There are also Western countries that have imposed a severe blockade on our country, and even medicines are not allowed to be exported to our country. Zhuang Lao was very proud and said: "Our country can make missiles, this is a world miracle!" ”

This is definitely the big truth.

At that time, there were no qualified personnel in our country in missile-related fields at all, and many college students did not study missiles, and they could not even get close to missiles, so they were entrusted with important tasks by the state and asked to participate in missile research and development. For the sake of the country, for the sake of the future of the nation, they had to learn from scratch.

There are many people who lament that when the father of missiles was abroad, he had a lot of research results and fruitful results, but after returning to China, he could not do it, and there were not many achievements. In fact, the greatest achievement of the father of missiles after returning to China is that he not only developed missiles for our country, but also trained a lot of talents for our country.

These talents, as well as the talents they train, have become the backbone of our country's space industry.

It can be said that the father of missiles is all over the world.

"With our conditions at the time, being able to make a missile was a victory. As for catching up with the level of Western countries, it is not something that can be done in a short period of time, and it will take a long time of effort. Zhuang Lao was very serious and said: "Some people think that our country is no worse than Western countries when it makes missiles, which is not right, and we should face the reality and see the gap." Fortunately, after so many years of hard work, the level of missiles in our country has caught up with the level of Western countries, and even surpassed them in some aspects. ”

"For example, anti-ship ballistic missiles." Ye Chen was very excited.
