"What? We're going to attack the continental United States? I thought I needed to take Puerto Rico before I could bomb the continental United States. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In the luxurious office of the Chancellor of the German Reich, Adolf. After listening to Hersmann's report on the results of the Battle of Bermuda, Hitler was stunned by the battle plan that Hersmann put forward immediately after he had not had time to issue a "declaration of victory."

Hitler, of course, knew that the Great General Staff had been planning to attack the US mainland -- how could the Americans have happily paid 500 billion euro marks in compensation without attacking the US mainland?

Hitler, however, did not expect that the attack on the American mainland would begin at this time. He had thought that the United States would not be bombed until after the Caribbean War.

"Prime Minister," Hersman smirked, "if we don't attack the continental United States now, the Caribbean operation will not be likely to succeed easily, right?" ”

Hitler was stunned, and Hersmann explained: "According to intelligence, the number of combat aircraft that the United States has at present still far exceeds ours, and the Caribbean theater is the focus of the deployment of American air forces, and the number of US combat aircraft on Trinidad Island alone exceeds 3,000.

If we do not manage to transfer aircraft from the Caribbean to the east coast of the United States, then the attack on Trinidad will turn into a bloody war of attrition. ”

Hitler somewhat understood, "Reich Marshal, our attack on the American homeland with the aim of forcing the Americans to draw troops from the Caribbean theater?" ”

"Yes."

"What can we use to attack?" Hitler asked again. "Our longest-range bomber can't reach the continental United States, right?"

"It's actually within reach."

"Enough?" Hitler asked, "What type of aircraft?" ”

"The Me264 long-range bomber," Hersman said, "the latest model of the Me264F bomber has an extreme range of 9,500 kilometers. ”

"That's the ultimate range." Hitler shook his head, "If you put up bombs, plus the fuel consumed during the take-off formation of the planes, it will be difficult for the Me264 bomber to reach the United States, right?" ”

"It's hard," Hersman said, "but there's a way around it." He paused, "We have the Reaper-1B air-launched missile that can be launched from 500 kilometers away. ”

The prototype of the Reaper-1 air-launched missile, the Reaper Man, has a range of 300 km, and if the pilot's cockpit is changed to a fuel tank, the range of 500 km is not a problem at all. However, because the Reaper 1 missile is an anti-ship missile, it does not need such a large range, so the fuel tank was reduced and the charge was increased when it was designed.

The Reaper 1B, on the other hand, is an air-launched cruise missile, so it is designed to increase its range in order to gain the range to attack the continental United States - in fact, the Reaper 2 shipborne anti-ship missile also has a cruise missile modification, called the Reaper 2B, which also has a range of 500 kilometers.

"It's about 3,680 kilometers from Angra Sangra in the Azores to Boston," Hersman said, "and if you deduct the 500-kilometer range of the Reaper-1B missile, the plane needs to fly only 3,180 kilometers." As long as the aircraft do not fly in formation, the range of the existing model of the Me264 long-range bomber is sufficient. ”

"In addition, we can also send missile carriers to launch V1B cruise missiles." Hersman then came up with a relatively cheap tactic for attacking the US mainland -- dispatching the "Kesselring" class aircraft carrier, equipped with V1B missile launchers, to launch missiles 500 kilometers away from the US coastline to attack the United States.

The maximum speed of the Kesselring-class aircraft carrier is 26 knots, and due to the high reliability of the marine diesel engine it uses, it can allow the aircraft carrier to maintain a high speed of about 24 knots for a long time. Therefore, the aircraft carrier can use the cover of night or bad weather to sneak close to the continental United States until a distance of 500 kilometers before launching missiles.

Moreover, the Kesselring-class aircraft carriers carrying V1B missiles can still carry a certain number of carrier-based aircraft, and their self-defense capabilities are relatively strong. If multiple aircraft carrier groups act together, they will be able to withstand the US air raids and successfully complete the missile launch mission.

"Can a missile launched at a distance of 400-500 km hit the target?" Hitler was still a little skeptical.

"Yes." "We have some means of guidance and correction that can quite well hit 30% of missiles within a radius of 6 kilometers from the target," Hersman said. For strategic bombing, this level of accuracy is acceptable. ”

The accuracy of the V1 missile in history was actually not bad, causing huge casualties and property damage to the UK. And this was achieved in the absence of effective means of correction, which at that time were mainly a combination of spy reconnaissance and radio signal tracking.

And the experts of the German Naval Armaments Agency have prepared a "traditional" means of correction for the V1B missile - seaplane sighting! To this end, the German Navy purchased a cruiser of the "Sukuf" class from the French Navy for reconstruction, dismantled the heavy artillery and increased the number of seaplanes (equipped with captured American OS2U "Kingfisher" seaplanes). In this way, when cruise missiles attack the continental United States, they can quietly observe by water planes.

In addition, of course, the spies who observed the missile's landing site had already been sent to New York, Washington, Boston, and Philadelphia.

However, no matter how you look at it, there is no need to think about the circular probability error of only a few hundred meters, and the circular probability error of 6000 meters is actually not bad. And Hirschmann didn't really intend to force the United States to surrender with cruise missiles - he just wanted to tell the Americans that their country was not safe and that Germany had the means of attack against which they could not defend themselves.

In addition, the use of cruise missiles to attack large cities in the continental United States is also to accumulate experience in launching possible nuclear strikes in the future.

According to Hersman's order, the "Super Reaper" and A-series ballistic missiles, which can carry 2.5-3 tons of warheads, are in full swing under development.

And work is underway to miniaturize the atomic bomb!

"Well," said Hitler, "Ludwig, you are the chief of the General Staff...... On the question of whether a missile attack on the US mainland is needed, I fully support your decision. ”

Just as the conversation between Hersmann and Hitler was about to end, the telephone on Hitler's desk suddenly rang, Hitler picked up the telephone receiver, and Ribbentrop's voice came immediately.

"My leader, the Marquis de Ziano, has just called me, and President Roosevelt has fallen ill and had a stroke."

"Roosevelt had a stroke?" Hitler asked, "Are you going to die?" ”

"No, it's out of danger now, and it seems that we can continue to govern...... Because the president of the United States, who had awakened, extended an invitation to Roman Caesar to visit the United States. ”

"Mussolini agreed?"

"Yes, the Roman Caesar saw this as an opportunity to bring about peace. He wondered, have our conditions for peace changed? ”

"Not yet." Hitler said, "If a new decision is made at the High Command and the Council of Leaders of the European Community, Rome Caesar will be informed as soon as possible." ”

With that, Hitler hung up the phone. Then he said to Hersman, "Roosevelt had a stroke, and it looks like he won't live long." ”

Hersman was not surprised by the news, and Roosevelt, who had been a triumphant in history, also hung up in early 1945. Now that the United States is about to be defeated, Roosevelt's mood must be depressed to death, and it is completely normal to live a few months less.

"He's a great man," Hersman smiled, "but it's a pity he met us!" This was his greatest misfortune! ”

Hitler shrugged, "Maybe it would be a relief for him to die as soon as possible...... At least there is no need to be responsible for the defeat. He thought for a moment and asked, "Ludwig, do you think there will be a surprise in the November election?" Will the United States become a country ruled by a fascist or Nazi party? ”

In fact, the Nazi fascism of the United States is not necessarily a good thing for Europe, but the politicians of the 40s did not think about the problem in this way, they were used to dividing camps in the form of YS. If the United States had been fascized, it would seem to have been comrades in the United States of Europe and the Roman Empire.

So Hitler, like Mussolini, had expectations for the "Nazi-fascist revolution" in the United States.

"No, it won't." Hersman said with great certainty that "neither the Fascist Party nor the Bolshevik Party could have been elected until the defeat of the United States." And even if the fascists are elected, will we be able to forgive the United States of reparations? Can we allow the United States to become a powerful country after the war that can stand up to the United States of Europe? ”

"It certainly can't." Hitler shook his head and said.

"yes," Hersman nodded, smiling, "so now is not the time for the American Nazi Party or the American Fascist Party to come to power." Otherwise the Nazi comrades in the United States risk becoming Social Democrats. Therefore, after the Democratic Party or the Republican Party in the United States has become a traitor to the United States, we should try by all means to support the fascist party to come to power. ”

Hersmann's ideas were of course different from Hitler's, and he didn't really want to see a fascist or Nazified America – which was not necessarily good for Germany and Europe. After all, the comprehensive national strength of the United States is too strong, and once it is thoroughly mobilized with Nazis or fascism, it may really become an American version of the Third Reich!

Hersmann's real idea was to make the American Fascist Party or the Nazi Party a force that divided American politics after the war. And given that the Wall Street plutocracy has a much stronger influence on American politics than the industrial capitalists in Germany, it will be difficult for the American Fascists or the American Nazi Party to make them bow down.
