PS: Shi Zhu from today to take his family out to pay New Year's greetings and take a short walk, the update has been pre-arranged, about 11:30 noon every day automatically released, but because I can't write only one more every day, please understand. On the 15th (the eighth day of the Lunar New Year will resume two shifts), thank you for your strong support and wish you a happy New Year!

"I've listened to and watched a lot today, and overall I'm satisfied, except for a little vignette." Hearing this, people who were in the know and uninformed all turned their eyes to Dornberg, and the latter's face instantly turned pale, but fortunately, Hoffman did not criticize him by name, but took the initiative to excuse him, "The failure of the experiment is inevitable, and the final victory cannot be achieved without this spirit of daring to be the first on the road of developing science and technology." I am only worried about the harm caused by safety accidents, all of you are German elite scientists, and they are responsible for the future of the German nation, and the loss of any one of them makes me extremely sad, I hope you will always pay attention to safety, although the probability of such an incident as today is not high, but it will cause very serious harm, so please be sure to take it seriously. ”

Hoffman's attitude towards safety is extremely serious, not only in the repeated emphasis on the details of safety in the daily research and management process, but also in the measures he intends to strengthen a series of defenses for the base, and he does not want to repeat the historical situation in which Peneminde suffered serious losses caused by British and American air raids. In the brief exchange with Speer just now, in addition to asking for the continued expansion of the base, he will also build a large-scale underground anti-aircraft shelter and survival system, a seaside dock, and a submarine cavern, and also prepare to set up a separate warning area and mobilize anti-aircraft artillery and fighter units to station, and named Bowman to be responsible for these construction projects, on the grounds that Bowman had a lot of experience in supervising the construction of the Führer's official residence and large headquarters in the past.

These new projects undoubtedly require a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, but Hoffmann seems to be worth it, and Speer does not say much, but only writes it down seriously and responsibly.

"First of all, I had to introduce the concept of missiles, whether there is a reliable guidance system or not, I think is the essential difference between a rocket and a missile." Hoffman said eloquently from the podium, "The large rockets that the Air Force is testing and the rocket artillery that the Army has put into use are also launch rockets, but their trajectory cannot be precisely defined at all, so they are probabilistic weapons or area kill weapons, which are essentially a special artillery shell, and only rockets equipped with various guidance systems that can accurately achieve point-to-point strikes can be called missiles -- the latter is something that we need to devote more effort to study." ”

The audience was seated by experts from Peenemünde's various project teams, and their attitudes were very excited, but they did not think that the Führer could make any big academic statements, so the warm applause given to Hoffman was more courteous, but Hoffman did not seriously distinguish the differences, and continued: "According to my thinking, missiles can be divided into different types according to different uses, including surface-to-air, air-to-ground, surface-to-ground, etc., and can also be divided into short-range, medium-range, long-range and intercontinental missiles according to the length of the flight distance. Although the A-4 rocket, which flies the farthest at present, can only fly 200 kilometers, I believe that in 15 years, it will be possible to develop an intercontinental missile that can hit the American continent directly from Europe; It can also be distinguished into ** and ballistic missiles according to the flight mode, the former flies according to the terrain in the atmosphere that is not high above the ground, and the latter needs to rush out of the atmosphere and carry out re-entry flight; According to the different launch platforms, it can be divided into land-based, air-based, sea-based, etc., land-based can be realized in fixed launchers, silos, or mobile launches by large loading trucks or trains, and sea-based can be launched from surface ships or from submarines ......";

Dornberg whispered to Braun: "Didn't you say that the Führer was born to study painting? After listening to what I said just now, I think it makes a lot of sense, the system and structure are very clear, and the missile world head of state in it seems to have seen it with his own eyes. ”

Braun smiled slightly: "I think the Führer has a far more understanding and knowledge of the world than ordinary people, and what he just said will largely become a reality." ”

"Today I would like to focus on my understanding and requirements for anti-aircraft missiles, which is our top priority." The scholars were stunned by the Führer's opening remarks, they may understand what they are currently studying, but no one has ever told them as straightforwardly as Hoffman what missiles should be and what kind of development ideas they will have in the future, and they are more interested in the specific connotation of air defense missiles, and they have pricked up their ears to listen, "The first requirement for air defense missiles is distance, and its main combat target is the enemy's bombers, and in view of the threat of British and American four-engine heavy bombers, the launch altitude of missiles in the future should be more than 10 kilometers." , preferably gradually up to 15 km - because the planes will fly higher and higher; The second is the degree of convenience, after visiting the base today, I understand the huge difference between solid fuel and liquid fuel, if liquid fuel has to be temporarily injected and cannot be stored for a long time, they are easy to miss combat opportunities, so they are more suitable for hitting fixed ground targets,

Changeable, fast targets should be struck by solid-fuel-powered missiles; The third is the guidance system, which should fully develop various forms of guidance systems, which can be optoelectronic and sound, infrared, radio proximity, and magnetism. The fourth is power, the power depends on the warhead and warhead of the missile, directly proportional to the volume, I know that scientists want to make the missile as big as possible to ensure the power, so that it can not only carry more explosives but also more fuel, but this idea is wrong, the large volume brings the clumsiness of deployment and launch, on the one hand, the missile body does a lot to affect the launch efficiency and speed, on the other hand, it affects the density ratio of the ammunition to the target, we should pursue a reasonable killing distance, A qualified anti-aircraft missile, I think, a few tens of kilograms of ammunition is enough; Finally, there is the cost of manufacturing, the weapons we manufacture should be cheap enough on the basis of ensuring performance, and it is still cost-effective to use a few or dozens of bombers to fight for them, so that there is the possibility of sustained combat; if missiles are more expensive than bombers, then the ratio of combat effectiveness to cost is too low, and even missiles with 100 shots will make us financially bankrupt very quickly -- after all, the Americans are much richer than us. ”

Everyone laughed and the audience gave a round of applause.

"In addition to anti-aircraft missiles, we also need a variety of other missiles, such as air-to-air missiles, which are used by fighter jets to kill enemy aircraft at longer distances; For example, air-to-ship missiles can effectively replace the current dive bombing function; Anti-radiation missiles, for example, can be designed specifically to deal with radar stations using the characteristics of radar waves. Hoffman pointed out the significance and goal of the adjustment, "In view of the current research status, I think it is necessary to integrate and adjust the complicated projects, and rectify those projects that have duplicate uses, project requirements and development ideas as soon as possible. These tasks are managed by the Ministry of Armaments instead of being divided between the Air Force and the Army, as in the past. Some projects, such as Messerschmidt's Me-163 rocket interceptor project, can be absorbed into the anti-aircraft missile project, and it is recommended that experts, especially the chief expert, focus their research on their core areas in order to achieve breakthrough results. In addition, in the operation of the project, it is necessary to be good at absorbing and utilizing the results already achieved, promote the generalization of materials, fuels, engines, and spare parts, and use mature products as much as possible -- missile research can also be carried out in the form of assembly line division of labor and cooperation. In the future, Peneminde will be our most important missile base and will undertake the main scientific research tasks, you can achieve division of labor and cooperation in various fields such as fuel, missile materials, engines, guidance systems, etc., and absorb mature designs and tests as soon as possible, and the Imperial Armaments Department will allocate resources on a project-by-project basis, and I hope to see a number of revolutionary results in 12 months. ”

Braun smiled wryly at Conrad: "The Führer is criticizing me and praising you. The latter smiled and patted the other on the shoulder to show comfort.

"For the Fischler Fi-103 rocket project and the A-4 rocket project that were successful in this test, I propose to change the names to the V1 missile and the V2 missile, and the meaning of the name is Avenger Weapon No. 1 and No. 2." Hoffman shook his fist, "This will be our strategic weapon, and it will make the enemy tremble in front of them." ”

Everyone in the audience stood up and applauded warmly, and they were very emotional.

Conrad also stood up, but his bookish attack was angry, and he asked Dornberg in confusion: "Didn't the Führer just say that he was not going to make a V1 but to hand it over to the Japanese for development?" Even if it's the V2, he suggested that we continue to develop it, and it's not yet time for mass production, how can we ......"

"Hey, you better focus on rocket engines, this kind of political deception is not something you and I can understand." Braun winked playfully at Conrad and replied preemptively, "Who knows if we have any British spies here, the Führer is for them." ”

Conrad froze for a moment, then caught a glimpse of Dornberg, who was feigning to punch someone with his fist on the side, and finally laughed knowingly.
