Chapter Forty-Eight: The American with a Headache

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations! (╭ ̄3 ̄)╭

In addition to the Scepter of God and anti-infantry and armored hunters, there are also a large number of aircraft stored in the space of the third human civilization, among which the fighter plane, which was ridiculed by the eye of the sky as a product of ancient times, is very interesting to Albert, this thing is different from the streamlined route taken by the mainstream second- or third-generation fighters during the Cold War, more like the American SR71 Blackbird high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, but slightly smaller in size.

Moreover, in terms of performance, the aircraft is already a mature sixth-generation fighter, with air defense and anti-missile capabilities, direct aviation support capabilities, interception of air targets and other functions, as well as the ability to fully complete electronic warfare missions and conduct reconnaissance.

In addition to those fighters, small UAVs are also highlights, these small UAVs are more like the MQ-9 Reaper drones in service in the United States, but they are a little larger than the Reaper, which can be said to be a smaller version of the fighter. The MQ-9 UAV has a total of 4 pylons, two of which are composite pylons, one pylons can carry up to 2 weapons, and the whole aircraft can carry 6 weapons. The drone here has four composite pylons that can be attached to eight air-to-air or four air-to-surface missiles. It's the rhythm of the big bomb again.

In 1946, the world's first air-to-surface missile appeared, and as early as 1943, Germany developed the radio-controlled HS-293A-1 missile. The subsequent Hs-293D model is an epoch-making design, with a TV camera installed in the nose of the bomb, and the image is transmitted back to the carrier aircraft by radio, so that the bomber crew can attack in bad weather, which can be regarded as the ancestor of the Tomahawk **.

The missile, which was characterized by an Yagi antenna mounted in the tail for video transmission and a camera fairing in the warhead, conducted the first successful experiments in August 1944 using guidance devices of the "Seedorf" type 3 and the "Tonne" type 4a. According to the Germans, the number of them was 255 and they hit a British warship. However, due to the poor reliability of the TV guidance system, this model was eventually cancelled.

Albert felt that the HS-293D model could continue to be developed in depth in terms of guided missiles, and of course this kind of thing had to be left to Dr. Brian, who was idle and had nothing to do. Otherwise, the weapons that will sweep the most advanced weapons developed by various countries into the garbage heap of history can only continue to lie here quietly and pretend to be forced.

It's like seeing hundreds of tons of gold and not taking it with you. After walking through the 3D rapid prototyping technology assembly line, Albert came out of the Holy Grail and said that he wanted to be alone.

At the same time in the United States, Truman, who was busy in the White House, was very satisfied with the results of the operation of Hoyt Sanford Vandenberg, the head of the strategic intelligence group, although the agents sent out suffered casualties of varying degrees, but they hit the Belgian prince very well, warning him not to mess around, and the end of going against a big country would be miserable.

"Your Excellency, I don't think this operation has achieved its goal." Hoyt's tone was categorical, "Grab the blueprint of that weapon, and at least put Albert under house arrest if you don't kill it, but we don't have the blueprints now, and we don't put Albert under house arrest." So I don't think the operation was a success. ”

Truman asked, "What else can be done to arrest him and torture him?" Aside from the fact that he is the prince of Belgium, do you know how terrible the reaction of the people will be to the fact that this government has used violent threats against a defenseless little guy? ”

"But ......" Hoyce wanted to continue to say something, but Truman interrupted him directly, "enough, I know you are unwilling, but at least there are already our people in the Belgian leadership, one is the Belgian Prime Minister Paul Henry Spark, he is a follower of our American government, I hope that this election of the president of the United Nations General Assembly will bring him to power." Dissatisfied with the increasing attention of his brother to Leopold III, Crown Prince Boshe began to seek cooperation with the U.S. government. ”

"As long as these two people are managed well, when Leopold III abdicates and Crown Prince Boshean ascends the throne, even if Albert is capable, he will not be valued by the government and the royal family. If you think about it, when the time comes, Boshean will gather power in one, as long as he shakes his head and vetoes, even if Albert has a level, he will not be reused. ”

"Since ancient times, European royal families have had a 'fine tradition' of fighting for the throne and killing each other, and I understand that His Excellency the President means that the top priority is to find a way to coerce Leopold III into abdicating so that the Boshe government that favors us can come to power as soon as possible?" It didn't take long for Hoyce to understand what the president meant.

"Yes, Leopold III is still very partial to the talented second son, but according to the rules of succession to the throne, as long as the eldest son has not committed too much wrong, he has no right to depose the eldest son. So for us, it is important to force Leopold III to abdicate as soon as possible and let Boshean come to power. ”

"The starting point is Congo, right?" Hawes whispered.

President Truman's tone became serious, "That's right, Congo is our breakthrough, and Leopold III is very popular at home at the moment, so we don't have a chance to attack directly from Belgium." Hawes, no matter what means you use, you have to incite those black riots in the Congo and force Leopold III to send troops to suppress them, and then we can accuse him of violating human rights, and then we can coerce him out of power through the offensive of public opinion, so that Crown Prince Bosyan can inherit the throne. ”

"Would this be a violation of the sovereignty of other countries?" Hawes frowned.

"In some exceptional circumstances, human rights take precedence over sovereignty." Truman's tone was unmistakable.

"But creating such a large-scale riot can take a year or more to incite the masses." "And the cost may not be underestimated, not only to imprint the idea of freedom in the minds of those black people, but more importantly to secretly provide them with weapons against the tyranny of the Congo." ”

"The budget of the strategic action group will not be less in this area." President Truman assured Hawes directly, "But I have to see the effect, you know?" ”

"I understand." Hawes replied.

"And, Hawes, you know what Prime Minister Winston Churchill said in March." President Truman stood up, never before did he feel that the United States had faced such a major challenge other than that terrible Great Depression, "the Soviets erected an iron curtain to separate us from the East." "The fifth column of their absolute obedience is everywhere, and this is the greatest threat to the free world." The content of Churchill's speech has always lingered in his mind.

"I've heard that." Hawes didn't quite understand what Truman meant.

Truman continued to say to himself, "We need to form a huge intelligence organization to deal with the Soviet Union, and the bill proposing to establish this organization will be signed tomorrow, so I would very much like you to take up the burden." ”

Hawes's mouth opened a little in surprise, and the president, who had been gloomy for a long time since the Belgian incident, finally smiled and said to him, "The future director of the National Security Agency, you must not let me down." ”
