Everything that should be dismantled has been dismantled, and now, there is still a surplus of planes, what is the surplus for? Fuel, of course!

The voyage is far away, although the Soviet Union is closer, but at this time, it is quite inappropriate to run to the Soviet Union to land after bombing the island country, and only China can land, and moreover, you have to run farther, but you can't be in the area controlled by the island country, and you can only land in the area controlled by the island country.

At this time, sufficient fuel is the guarantee of everyone's confidence, after all, during the flight, there may be any accidents.

"For our bombing this time, we need to load 1 454-kilogram incendiary bomb and 2 227-kilogram high-explosive bombs, and the rest of the space will be used to load fuel." Doolittle continued.

The bombing of the island country this time is only symbolic, and it is not to bomb Tokyo, but to retaliate against the island country and to demonstrate, as long as the people of the island country can understand that the United States can bomb the island country in minutes.

All the other spaces, all come and go!

A 225-gallon rubber fuel tank is installed in the front, a 160-gallon folding rubber fuel tank is installed in the bomb magazine, a 110-gallon metal fuel tank is installed in the belly, and the space in the tail is even placed in 1 60-gallon fuel tank and 10 5-gallon fuel tanks.

After several days of tinkering, they finally doubled the amount of B25 oil from 646 gallons to 1,251 gallons. In order to prevent freezing, the tank also had to be added with a de-icer.

All of this is done, and the next thing is to take off.

Aircraft modification has always been carried out at the airport, and now, on the runway of the airport, they have specially drawn a line to simulate the deck, and the aircraft is fully loaded, and training is carried out according to reality.

Doolittle got into the cockpit, he opened the window, and looked down from above, the take-off line on this side, to the take-off line on the opposite side, it was only a short sixty meters, and he had to pull up at such a short distance!

The engines on both sides were successfully started, the Wright R-2600-9 engine was emitting black smoke, the propeller was spinning rapidly, and after two minutes of warm-up, Doolittle opened the throttle widely, and in an instant, the engine made a loud noise, and each engine was releasing the maximum power of 1700 horsepower.

Brakes were released, and the B-25 bomber, like an old scalper with a lot of strength, rushed forward with its head suffocated.

Accelerate, accelerate!

The length of 60 meters is almost instantaneous, Doolittle pulls the operating lever in front of him back vigorously, and the plane staggers to leave the ground, but it still does not succeed, until it is more than 80 meters, it can be regarded as pulling up.

No way! I have to continue to lose weight!

Doolittle is constantly battling the B-25, and he needs to get the plane to fly successfully from the carrier!

In order to bomb the island country, the Americans racked their brains, and at this time, on the other side of the ocean, an aircraft that they needed the most, had begun test flights.

On the runway of the Junkers company, a large bomber is preparing for takeoff, in this era, the Junkers-290 is already a behemoth, and this bomber, longer and wider than the Junkers-290, its long wings, one side is arranged with three engines!

"Two years ago, we launched the American bomber project, and in order to complete this project faster and better, we restructured it on the basis of the original Junkers-290." Ebas, the chief designer of the Junkers company, said to the people around him.

The head of the Reich, Shirek, was inspecting the Junkers company at this time and participated in the first flight ceremony of the Junkers-390, which was a memorable day!

The Junkers-290 has already made many countries envious, such as island countries, which have always wanted to order from Germany, but unfortunately Germany will not give them this opportunity, this kind of strategic bomber must not be exported.

At the same time, the Junkers-290 is not enough to fly to and from the Americas, so Germany has developed in-flight refueling technology that can improve the endurance of the Junkers-290, but this is still not the final solution.

The ultimate solution, of course, is to develop a real transcontinental bomber!

Although the ballistic missile project is steadily progressing with the support of Shirek, there is still a long way to go before a real intercontinental missile is reached, so that Germany must also have such a large intercontinental bomber to carry the atomic bomb under development.

At the same time, this kind of large aircraft has great potential, in addition to becoming a bomber, it can also become an air tanker, and when electronic technology advances in the future, it can even become a carrier aircraft for airborne early warning aircraft, and so on.

Germany has a demand for this, and at the same time has the technical strength to do so.

"We use further improved engines, and the power of a single unit has reached 2,500 horsepower, which gives our aircraft better dynamic performance, with a bomb load of more than 20 tons and a maximum take-off weight of more than 75 tons."

With a bomb load of more than 20 tons, it was tailor-made for the planned atomic bomb, and in this era, nuclear weapons were just beginning to be developed, and the road to miniaturization was even more distant, and only bombers could carry them.

While listening to the designer's introduction, Ciric looked at the bomber on the runway, this large aircraft, in history, was built by Hitler after the reversal of World War II.

But now it is different, with the rapid development of German military technology, this aircraft has entered the prototype test flight stage, of course, this is also the final model.

The next generation of aircraft is definitely jet aircraft, while jet fighters continue to improve, jet bombers have also been put on the agenda, although it may take longer, but jets always represent the development of the future.

On the runway in the distance, the roar of engines was heard, and six high-power engines roared one after another, and the first test flight of the Junkers-390 bomber finally began!

Under the fuselage, rows of tires, running together, long wings, cutting through the air, constantly generating lift, almost slid forward for more than 800 meters, the front wheels of this bomber, finally left the ground, the rear wheels continued to slide for a few seconds, and then left the ground, this behemoth, finally flew!

Countless technicians, cheering on the field, once again broke a record and sent the largest spacecraft ever made by man into the sky!

Watching this bomber fly into the sky, Ciric's thoughts were also brought up, and he seemed to see this bomber carrying a nuclear bomb and showing off its might to deter the Americans.
