Shipyards can only be distributed along the coast, and it is impossible for the Americans to transfer their industry to the interior like the Soviet Union did, at least not in the shipbuilding industry; what is even better is that now the Americans' new aircraft carriers, outfitting outfits, and shipbuilding hulls have not yet been fully put into service, and this is the best opportunity to fight.

Iceland.

Even though it's summer, the climate in Iceland is still cool, with a maximum of 20 degrees Celsius, which is the perfect weather.

At the same time, Iceland is located at high latitudes, so the days are very long and the nights are quite short in the summer.

A hundred kilometers west of Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland, on the flat ground between the cols of a platform, it was busy.

Here are the stationary firing positions.

In the past, the V-2 missile, with a length of only 10 meters, could easily be dragged forward by a trailer and erected at any time, but as the length of the missile continued to increase, it would face a lot of trouble if it was launched in a mobile manner.

Now in Germany, the chassis of the Mouse tank is being modified as a chassis for mobile launches, and at the same time, several are beginning to build fixed firing positions on the ground.

The so-called fixed launch positions cannot be moved, and at the same time, in order to avoid the enemy's strike, these fixed launch positions are in the form of silos.

In normal times, after the manhole cover is closed, nothing can be seen at all, and at the same time, this manhole cover can also carry a large-yield bomb attack, that is, if the Americans brazenly dispatch bombers, or even use naval guns to shoot at close range, these firing positions can also resist.

At the same time, anti-aircraft artillery positions are deployed on the peaks on both sides, and it is not so easy for the Americans to want to bomb.

The bombing of the planes must first enter the bombing route, aim at the target, and fly in a straight line, and now this is a basin, and after they enter, they cannot find the target at all, and when they find the target, they have already flown over.

This is the best launch position.

When it is built as a silo, there are more problems, the biggest one is how to discharge the gas during launch, and it is necessary to design a complex diversion device.

German engineers, overcoming all kinds of problems, built 20 underground silos here in less than a month, and the progress is definitely rapid.

At the same time, right next to the launch position, a final assembly workshop was built hidden in the forest, and the missile parts transported from the empire were assembled in the assembly workshop and transported to the silo here for launch, which was absolutely efficient.

After the initial production, they can produce 20 missiles a day, as long as the supply of parts is sufficient.

Exactly supply the serial launch of missiles.

At this time, in a corner of the launch site, in the wooden command room, the head of the Icelandic missile base, Colonel Wald Dornberg, gave a loud order: "Attention, two hours ready, target, Norfolk, Newport News shipyard." Latitude: 36°54'N: 76°18' West. ”

Colonel Dornberg was also a military figure in the early days of the V-2 missile, when he was just a small captain, and now he has grown to the commander of the missile unit in command of a base, and his missiles are the latest V-4 modifications.

The V-4 missile had just completed its test launch not long ago, when the first live ammunition was aimed at Odessa, bombing the Soviets personally.

V-4 missile is Germany's latest missile, compared with the previous V-2, the biggest difference is the two-stage rocket, at the same time, almost all of the mature technology is used, the first-stage rocket is the situation of three V-2 rocket engines in parallel, the second-stage rocket is a single V-2 engine, so the progress is very rapid, as long as the difficulty of the two-stage rocket air separation can be overcome, it is considered a success, and the application of electronic computers makes the design of this missile much simpler, optimizing the trajectory.

Even so, it will only be able to reach a range of 2,500 kilometers, and it will not be enough to hit the United States.

At this time, Ciric proposed a simple and effective solution, that is, to reduce the weight of the warhead, increase the fuel tank, and thus increase the range.

At that time, Iraq used a very simple method, three bombs and two bombs, doubling the range, by disassembling one Scud missile and giving fuel tanks to the other two missiles, thus increasing the range.

At the same time, the weight of the warhead was reduced to only 190 kilograms, and the Scud, which had a range of only 300 kilometers, was successfully turned into a Hussein missile with a range of 600 kilometers.

Under the present circumstances, the development of completely new missiles and engines with greater thrust needs to be carried out in an orderly manner, and it is absolutely not something that can be solved in a moment.

Therefore, only from the V-4 continue to find a way, increase the fuel tank, reduce the weight of the warhead, because there is already an advanced electronic computer, improve the design, carry out computer simulation, all go smoothly, when the warhead from one ton to 500 kilograms, at the same time increase the missile body more than five meters long, re-optimize the trajectory, the maximum range of this missile, reached 5,000 kilometers.

It's time to threaten the major cities of the West Coast of the United States, and now it's time for it to take its breath.

After receiving the order, the missile troops in the base immediately nervously prepared.

This batch of missiles came off the production line only yesterday and then entered the underground silos, and now, inside the underground silos, officers and men wearing gas masks began to enter the initial launch procedure and refuel the missiles.

When it becomes the way of silos, it is easier to refuel. Metamethylhydrazine is highly toxic, nitric acid is strongly corrosive, refueling is the most dangerous in the launch process, and it is also irreversible, once the refueling is completed, the missile must be shot.

Strictly following the rules and regulations is the premise of ensuring safety.

At the same time, next to the command room, a large machine began to hum, and when it worked, even the lights on the side dimmed.

If you want to carry out any attack, you have to calculate the shooting elements, and in the attack of naval guns and so on, you only need to shoot the commander, and constantly adjust, and finally you can hit if you are lucky.

However, when it comes to the launch of ballistic missiles, it will not work, hundreds of kilometers away, it will not be seen at all, and complex ballistic calculations will be required.

Now it's different.

When the first computer in Germany was built, of course, the technicians did not stop there, and the first computer was just a starting point.
