Chapter 351: The Biggest Pit in History
Stalin didn't wait for the dinner, he summoned Zhang Xuewu again in the study, and this time Stalin didn't seem to be so high-minded, as if he had given everything to the Creator, because Stalin looked through a document on strategic rockets, and the composition of this strategic strike force made Stalin feel that he had always been a frog at the bottom of the well! In fact, as a country's decision-maker, the original intention of the construction of a country's armed forces is not to fight, but for strategic deterrence, to use the old saying of the Chinese, to surrender without a fight! The strategic mission of the armed forces is to strike and annihilate the enemy only when dealing with an adversary who is absolutely not equal to itself.
Just like the combined fleet of the Imperial Navy, the training of the Imperial Navy Military Academy is that the Imperial Navy is a powerful deterrent existence of the Empire and a sharp weapon to stop the outbreak of war! However, I have always said one thing and done another.
However, this strategic rocket made Stalin's heart moved, thousands of kilometers away the empire turned into a scorched earth, the strategic and political significance of this strike is far greater than the actual tactical destruction of its own significance, and the huge damage of the compressed high-explosive split warhead, can turn a range of several square kilometers into a sea of fire, the new weapon is Stalin's favorite, and it is also the most urgently needed by the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union needs time for construction and development, and the best way to avoid war is to have a strong deterrent force!
Zhang Xuewu, who finally had the opportunity to sit with Stalin and drink tea that was not very tasty, kept smiling, in fact, whether it was a Land Cruiser or a radar, he was equivalent to digging a big hole for the Soviets, because there were a lot of problems of this and that in the early stage of radar development, in history, in 1943, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed an airborne radar plane position indicator, which can take pictures of the moving aircraft, and invented a microwave early warning radar that can distinguish dozens of targets at the same time, so it can be said that the progress of radar is quite fastTherefore, Zhang Xuewu wanted to lead the Soviets to a relatively wrong path, because the Soviets had already secretly made contact with the Soviet side, and after the Kwantung Army suffered two painful defeats, he might not dare to try to provoke the battle of Zhang Gufeng or Nomenkan, but the main reason for his undead thieving heart for the Far East was the rich oil resources of the Far East, and in his opinion, if he could flank the Soviet Union with the Germans, it would undoubtedly be much more suitable than going south to Southeast Asia.
Stalin was very interested in the so-called "Thunderbolt Plan" provided by Zhang Xuewu, but the Soviet Union lacked the corresponding experts in rocket engineering, but the general structure and data on the drawings seemed to be very comprehensive. The great Soviet needed such weapons! This is much farther than the range of the so-called supercannon created by the Germans.
How did Stalin know that the information given to him by Zhang Xuewu was the famous V-2 rocket, and the V-2 rocket was originally a German thing, and it is no wonder that Soviet experts thought that it should belong to the technology of the Germans, and these best senior engineers in the Soviet Union could read out the required information from the design and principle to the process of drawings.
Zhang Xuewu smiled and said nothing, looking at the surprised so-called best scientists behind Stalin reading the real surnames of the drawings, it can be said that the V-2 rocket is the world's earliest ballistic missile made by Germany in World War II, and it is also the world's first supersonic rocket, and the V2 project began in 1940. During the Second World War, it was the German V2 rocket that brought great disaster and severe psychological panic to the British, who called it a missile in fear at that time.
In fact, the V2 engineering of the Germans began with the study of the A-series rockets, developed by von ? Braun presided over the key project of the new rocket research center in Penemünde after 1936, and the A-series rocket has undergone many new improvements, and the surname can be greatly improved, and it is the world's first practical ballistic missile. The meaning of V here is definitely not the beginning of the English victory, but from the German vergeltung, which means means of retaliation, which is the meaning of the Nazis to retaliate after being bombed by the allies, V1 and V2 indicate that these two models are just the pioneers of the entire series of terrorist weapons, Zhang Xuewu gave Stalin is the very flawed V1 rocket design and V2 rocket mixture, some fatal problems were all deliberately covered up or digitized by Zhang Xuewu, Zhang Xuewu took advantage of the advantages of Chinese to describe the future development space and bright prospects of the V-2 rocket to Stalin.
In fact, Zhang Xuewu is equivalent to a salesman, who came to the Soviet Union to promote his products, and these so-called products basically all stay in the drawing stage, so the Soviet Union is also extremely cautious, Kirov took Koshkin, and Stalin was accompanied by a large number of scientific research scholars such as Bazov to examine the information provided by Zhang Xuewu, undoubtedly these materials have a great help for the research of the Soviets, especially rockets and other projects that are still blank in the Soviet Union, which has aroused the curiosity of many scholars. When Zhang Xuewu explained that rockets require the cooperation of experts in 57 disciplines, such as space engineering, electronics, high-reflection chemistry, power engineering, fluid engineering, fuel science, etc., and that rocket technology is a very complex comprehensive technology, mainly including rocket propulsion technology, overall design technology, rocket structure technology, control and guidance technology, plan management technology, reliable surname and quality control technology, test technology, and so on, Stalin was also shocked!
Obviously, this strategic surname weapon that I hit you and you absolutely cannot hit me aroused Stalin's great interest?
The specific data provided by Zhang Xuewu on the V-2 rocket is 14 meters long, the total launch weight is 13 tons, and it can send a one-ton warhead to a distance of 320 kilometers.
Zhang Xuewu opened the information and said to the Soviet experts who were constantly asking various questions: "According to the information we have obtained, when the V-2 rocket is launched, the rocket first rises vertically to an altitude of 24 to 29 kilometers, and then, according to the control of the gyroscope on the bomb, under the action of the nozzle gas rudder, it rises in a trajectory at an inclination angle of 40 degrees, and it can also be controlled by the ground control station to transmit radio commands to the receiver on the missile; about a minute later, the rocket has already flown to an altitude of about 45 kilometers, and the speed has reached 5,500 kilometers per hour. By the command of the radio command control system to shut down the engine, the rocket continued to rise to an altitude of 95 kilometers by its habitual surname, and then fell freely along the parabola at a speed of about 3,500 kilometers per hour, hitting the target range. ”
An expert in applied physics named Sigtev hesitated for a moment and said, "At such a height and at such a distance, how can the accuracy of such a weapon be used to ensure it?" If it loses accuracy, even if it has a killing range of several square kilometers, I'm afraid its usefulness will be limited, right? Moreover, the cost of such weapons is high, and mass production will inevitably be constrained. ”
Sigetev can be said to hit the nail on the head with one blow, Zhang Xuewu nodded and said: "New weapons, especially the concept of strategic weapons, it can be said that you are the originator in your hands, where in the world is there any technology that is in place in one step?" In need of improvement? It is your responsibility to improve it and make it have new guidance methods, such as radio guidance, radar wave guidance, improve the accuracy of hitting, and develop more powerful warheads, so that they can be more lethal and destructive, and have a longer range to achieve the purpose of strategic threats! That's your mission, not to ask a non-technical person a question, you know? ”
Zhang Xuewu's words suddenly silenced all the disputed Soviet experts, because this group of scientific research talents suddenly remembered that the great Comrade Stalin, the supreme commander of the Soviets, was also here.
Stalin looked at the somewhat frightened experts and nodded: "My dear Comrade Zhang Xuewu is very right, the development of a new weapon requires the courage to explore, there is no road in this world, and when there are more people, there will naturally be a road!" As scientists, your ideological realm needs to be improved! It is necessary to establish the conviction of serving the great Soviet people wholeheartedly and fighting all your life, so that you can conquer everything and be invincible! ”
In addition to the fact that the translation was not carried out at the same time, Zhang Xuewu did not feel any discomfort, and there were at least four very young and beautiful female officers of the Soviet Army on the side who were serving as shorthand reporters for the talks.
It can be said that Zhang Xuewu showed the Soviets all the things that could be taken out of the way, and there is no doubt that the V-2 rocket is extremely expensive, but this is not a big problem for the Soviet Union, which has strong comprehensive national strength, so that the problematic radar, the cheating gearbox and the Land Cruiser are all so-called high-precision and sophisticated technologies, and they are very in line with the special surnames of the Soviets, especially corresponding to Stalin's great achievements, and also in line with the overall strategic deterrence of the Soviet Army.
Stalin cordially took Zhang Xuewu's hand, and on the one hand asked him about his impressions and attitudes of various political parties in China, including the red base areas in northern Shaanxi, and so on, on the other hand, Stalin was anxious to know Zhang Xuewu's near-term strategic preparations for the Kwantung Army, whether to fight, when to fight, and how big to fight, all of which Stalin was very concerned about!
In fact, the so-called dinners were held according to strict ranks, and to Zhang Xuewu's surprise, Stalin's dinner was attended by none of the main generals of the Soviet army, except for most of the scientific research and technical personnel!
