"Yes, Major General, this is the Germans' man-flying bombs!"

Minoru Genda's answer surprised both Yamamoto and Onishi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info suicide plane, this kind of thing, should be the product of the dog jumping off the wall. Now is the time when Germany is in full swing, winning on the battlefield one after another, where is the use of dying with the enemy?

"According to the Germans themselves, in fact, he had the idea of building a 'man-operated missile' as early as 1934, and he also made a prototype in 1939."

Minoru Genda's explanation made Yamamoto and Onishi suddenly realize. In 1934, Germany was still relatively weak and could be attacked by Britain and France at any time, so it was necessary to develop some weapons that would die with the enemy. In 39, the war had just begun, and Germany faced a "strong enemy" such as Britain, France, and Poland, and its future was also uncertain, so it had to hold back some killer weapons. It shouldn't be needed now.

"Huh," Onishi Takijiro wondered as he pinched another photo, "Why doesn't this guy have a cockpit for flying bombs?" Where do people sit? Also, this ...... Things have wings but no propellers, what the hell is it? ”

"It's a rocket." Minoru Genda explained, "This is what I saw on a light cruiser in the port of Kiel. Instead of using a conventional piston engine to drive the propellers, the aircraft uses a ramjet engine...... Do you see the tube on its back? This one can breathe fire, that is, it is propelled by the fire that is sprayed. ”

"I've heard of this kind of thing, and we have people working on it." Onishi Takijiro looked at the photo and asked, "So how is this thing a 'human'?" ”

"Radio or wire!" Minoru Genda said, "According to the German officer who accompanied him, this kind of 'man-operated rocket' can theoretically hit 20 or 30 kilometers away, fly at a speed of 640 kilometers, and install an armor-piercing warhead with a charge of up to 800 kilograms. In combat, it can be launched from a launcher similar to a seaplane catapult, and then manipulated by the destroyer's personnel by radio or towing wires, and is capable of relatively accurately attacking large enemy surface ships at a distance of 15-20 kilometers. ”

This is actually the naval version of the V1 missile! It can also be considered the most primitive shipborne anti-ship missile. Now Germany does not engage in strategic bombing, so the Luftwaffe is not very interested in V1 missiles. However, the German Navy and naval aviation realized the value of this missile, and they combined the original V1 missile with the guided bomb under development, and created this "man-operated rocket", which was also codenamed V1, and the full name was "V1 anti-ship man-operated rocket". However, the "v" here does not mean "weapon of revenge", but "Volkswagen", because this weapon is produced by Volkswagen.

After listening to Minoru Genda's explanation, Yamamoto Isoroku and Onishi Takijiro's eyes were red, and the bomb with an 800 kg charge flew out at a speed of 640 kilometers per hour to hit targets 15-20 kilometers away, and it could also be manipulated by radio or wire...... Wouldn't it be possible to sink a battleship with such a ship as a light cruiser?

"Japan must have such weapons!" Yamamoto Isoroku immediately made a decision, "I'm going to get it out anyway!" ”

"Commander, at the moment the Germans are not mature in their rocket technology." Minoru Genda added, "Rockets often fail, and the guidance system is not reliable. So the Germans developed a backup technology to replace rockets with rear-piston engines and propellers, and at the same time replace wireless or wired maneuvering with manned ones. ”

As he spoke, Minoru Genda pulled out another photo from the table and handed it to Yamamoto Isoroku with both hands. The photo looks more like a rear-engined aircraft with a small cockpit enclosed in plexiglass.

"This kind of man-flying bomb has been put into use?" Yamamoto fifty-six asked.

Genda shook his head, "No." ”

"Why?"

"Because it's always not good to get people out of the device." "The Germans didn't want to kill the people who flew the bombs with the enemy ships, but they wanted to get them out of the bombs at the last minute, but it wasn't easy to do," Genda said. ”

In fact, this manned flying bomb has only just begun to be studied, and it was inspired by Churchill's dreadnought aircraft, and now there is not even a prototype, but just a wooden sample to fool the Japanese.

"The kindness of a woman!" Onishi Takijiro shook his head, "If the Germans don't do anything to disconnect from the device, wouldn't it be easy to annihilate the British home fleet?" And as soon as the British home fleet was destroyed, Germany won the war! ”

He suddenly turned his head to look at Yamamoto Isoroku, "Your Excellency, Commander, we should make this kind of man-operated flying bomb, which can not only be launched from a ship, but also dropped by an airplane, so that we can win the battle!" ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six seemed to be still a little hesitant, and Onishi Takijiro stomped his feet and said, "General, now that even countries like Britain and Germany are doing it, what reason do we have in Japan not to do it?" Does the general think that our capital is more than that of Britain and Germany? ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded again, "It's still reasonable for Onishi-kun to say, our empire was originally weak to fight strong, and we naval soldiers should exhaust all means to repay the king's kindness." ”

……

"Your Majesty, Lieutenant General Tojo, Minister of War, is not only brave in his duties, but also quite popular with the military, and even more loyal to His Majesty, and is indeed the best candidate to serve as Prime Minister and lead the empire through difficult times."

Just when Yamamoto Isoroku was determined to exhaust all means to repay the king's kindness, in the Tokyo Imperial Palace, the Minister of the Interior, Koichi Kido, was "bullying the king" - full of nonsense, recommending Hideki Tojo to Emperor Hirohito, who was sitting on the throne, as prime minister.

Emperor Hirohito tilted his head slightly and listened very carefully to each word. He didn't think that Koichi Kido was fooling himself, because after Konoe Fumiro and others merged Japan's major political parties into the Taisei Wing Zankai, Hirohito was not only the emperor, but the leader or general secretary of Japan's only legal political party...... Anyway, whoever is the prime minister now is a matter of his words.

And the Tojo Hideki recommended by Koichi Kido, Hirohito's "General Secretary" is very familiar, although that person is a little reckless, he is not very good at using his brains. But he is a person who is willing to do things, and he can also do great things. This is different from Fumiro Konoe, although Konoe has a flexible brain and thinks about problems carefully. But he is not a person who does big things, and he is indecisive when he really encounters big things, and he is not willing to take responsibility at all. Before he started a fight with the United States, he was about to retreat. But that's fine, let the guards retreat and let Tojo do it.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hirohito of Japan nodded, "The person raised by Qing is very agreeable." Now that the country is in an eventful season, we should use ministers who have the courage to do things. Kido, go to the War Minister's Mansion and order Minister Tojo to come and meet you! ”

……

"Marshal, I just received a telegram from the military attache of the embassy in Tokyo, the general resignation of the Konoe cabinet, and the appointment of the former Minister of War by Emperor Showa to the cabinet of Hideki Tojo."

"Hideki Tojo? Look at Japan's determination to go to war! In the building of the General Staff of the German Wehrmacht, Hersmann suddenly interrupted Natalie, who was reporting to him the political and diplomatic information of various countries, frowned slightly, and said to herself.

Natalie glanced at Hersman, and then reported: "In addition, the military attaché in Tokyo also reported that Japan will send a high-level military delegation to visit our country in the near future to discuss the strengthening of technical cooperation and joint operations. ”

This is obviously the decision of Hideki Tojo after becoming prime minister, to fully join forces with Germany to deal with the big boss of the United States.

Natalie went on to say: "Someone published an article in Pravda entitled 'Is Germany a Socialist Country?' under the name of 'a German Bolshevik'. In addition, Pravda also published the news that Archduchess Kira, the heir to the Romanov dynasty, became the German crown princess! ”

She looked at Hersman and said, "Marshal, Pravda is the organ of the Bolshevik Party in the Soviet Union, and the articles and messages on it are of political orientation...... An article such as "Is Germany a Socialist Country?" would not have been published in Pravda without the approval of the Propaganda and Agitation Department of the Bolshevik Party! ”

"The Soviet Union is also creating public opinion for the start of the war!" Hersmann, of course, knew how much weight the Pravda article had.

"Yes," said Natalie solemnly, "the Y-consciousness form is important to the Soviet Union. If the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union had called us 'socialist comrades and brothers', then war would not have broken out immediately. ”

It is unlikely that the Soviet Red Army will launch a surprise attack on the "socialist comrades and brothers" and the "great comrades-in-arms of the world revolution."

It would have been nice if this treacherous raid had been able to storm Berlin, but where was Germany so easy to deal with. Although Hersman did not have the intention of attacking the Soviet Union, it did not mean that he would not prepare for defense on the eastern border. In fact, after the end of the Polish campaign, the German army had been strengthening the defenses of the eastern region (including the Baltics, Western Ukraine, and Poland), and there was no possibility of a surprise attack.

And once the Soviet-German war is fought into a protracted war with heavy casualties, the Soviets' own minds will be in turmoil - why did they suddenly attack the good comrades and brothers of the world revolution? Is this in line with Marxism-Leninism? Could it be that the central government has produced a traitor to GCISM?

Therefore, Stalin was not naïve enough to think that he could defeat Germany with a sneak attack, and if he really wanted to go to war with Germany, he had to make political and ideological preparations first. We must let the good Soviet people recognize the true face of the German Nazis! (To be continued.) )
