In the face of the aggressive offensive arms build-up of the Chinese Empire, the whole of Europe, where NATO is located, is facing a strategic encirclement of the Chinese Empire and the Warsaw Pact, and the German Union has to deal with it.

Compared with the huge military budget of the Chinese Empire, the German Union could not come up with so much money in a short period of time. In the post-war years, the German Union restored its vitality to a large extent, although it followed the example of the Soviet Union and adopted a planned economic system. However, the German Union was the hardest hit area of World War II, and under the economic aggression of the Chinese Empire, financial expenditure was very difficult.

Despite the financial difficulties, Hitler's appeal was very strong. Under his call, the entire German Union united, tightened their belts and lived, and the saved money was used to develop the army.

Compared with the Chinese Empire's annual military expenditure of tens of billions of dragon dollars, the annual military expenditure of the German Union in the early post-war period was less than two billion dragon dollars. The German high command had to spend all its money on the cutting edge.

Expanding the nuclear arsenal was an inevitable choice for the German army. The German nuclear arsenal has always been classified as top secret, and even the Chinese Empire cannot accurately know the number of German nuclear weapons. It was because of the strict secrecy of the German army that Germany avoided the tragic situation of defeat.

As early as World War II, when it was still under negotiations, Hitler ordered the German army to stockpile nuclear materials and manufacture nuclear weapons at any cost, in order to build up the German army's nuclear forces and maintain the minimum nuclear force used against the Chinese Empire before the Chinese Empire gained insight into the German nuclear weapons. ˋˊ

Hitler did this, and in the years after the war, the German army continued to expand the number of nuclear weapons. By the time the Chinese Empire launched an arms race, the Germans had thirty-three nuclear warheads.

However, the German nuclear warheads were all primitive nuclear weapons. Most of them rely on strategic bombers to carry them, and only a small number of small-yield nuclear warheads are installed on V6 rockets, but the range is only 15 kilometers, which is much worse than the kilometer-long range of the Mistral intercontinental ballistic missile of the Chinese Empire.

The German V6 rockets could not actually pose a real strategic threat to the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire was humiliated by the German Junkers EF-132Z strategic bombers after they broke through the air defenses of the Chinese Empire and dropped leaflets over Bauhinia City. Since then, the Chinese Empire has vigorously strengthened the construction of an air defense early warning network and deployed a large number of anti-aircraft alert search radar systems in various prefectures and provinces on the mainland.

In accordance with the provisions of the White Paper on National Defense of the General Staff of the Chinese Empire. By the first month of the 50th year of Guanghua, the construction of an air defense early warning radar system must be completed on the mainland of the Chinese Empire, and the mainland of the Chinese Empire will be able to monitor any invading aircraft 24 hours a day.

The Germans were very nervous about this. Because once the Chinese Empire completes the construction of the homeland air defense radar network, then the German strategic bombers will no longer be able to enter and even approach the Chinese Empire itself, and it will become very difficult. Especially when the German army learned that the reason why the German bombers flew smoothly over the Forbidden City was because the night fighters of the Chinese Imperial Air Force were sent to the European and American battlefields, which gave the German army a chance. Now that the Chinese Empire has fully begun to upgrade its fighter jets on duty day and night, it is also impossible for the German army to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the airspace of the Chinese Empire at night.

All this forced the German army to upgrade its equipment. Otherwise, once the Chinese Empire has the ability to intercept German nuclear warheads 100%, then the Chinese Empire will definitely make a comeback and destroy the German Union and NATO in one fell swoop.

The Chinese Empire had already wobbly advanced the German Union in electronics, and the Germans could only play on their traditional strengths.

Delian is the same as the Chinese Empire. All were the first countries to start working on rockets. The difference is that the Chinese Empire was well funded, conducted a large number of tests and mastered a large number of rocket technologies. Germany, on the other hand, lacked funds for testing and was dragged down by the war, and during World War II, it only carried out missile attacks on Britain at close range, and lagged far behind the Chinese Empire in long-range rockets. ˋˊ

However, German scientists were excellent, and they quickly picked up the German army's long-range rocket tests based on the information and intelligence collected from all aspects of the Chinese Empire. What made Hitler even happier was that the Russians under the rule of the former Soviet Union produced a lot of talent. When the USSR fell. They hated the Chinese Empire so much that they threw themselves into the arms of Germany without hesitation, and after joining the German League, these Russians quickly injected fresh blood into the German Union's military power. Among them, there were many rocket experts, and they contributed a lot to the German army's rocket industry.

By the end of 1947, the information obtained by the German Union K Intelligence Bureau showed that the Chinese Empire possessed hundreds of ICBMs, of which 40 were on 24-hour combat duty in the Chinese Imperial Strategic Forces. To counter the Chinese. The German Union must build and deploy in the shortest possible time an intercontinental missile capable of launching and destroying strategic targets in the Chinese Empire from German Union territory. The P-16 missile was thus given the task of acting as a reliable missile nuclear shield for the German Union.

In 1947, the Prussian 56 Special Design Bureau, headed by Hegrid and Kuzmich, undertook the development of the P-16 missile. Previously, the design bureau was based on two single-stage medium-range ballistic missiles P-12 and P-14 with a high-boiling fuel component, developed by the former Soviet missile project team. ˋˊ The Special Design Bureau designed the first P-16 ICBM in an incredible time. Its NATO code name is K-64, and the Eastern Warsaw Pact calls it -7. In November of that year, the chief designer completed the design details of the missile.

The principles outlined in drawings need to be translated into concrete structures. The difficult phase of the creation of missiles began, and a lot of completely new design schemes were applied to missile components and accessories.

With Hitler's encouragement, the German scientists worked without sleep or food. Designers and producers in many units are engaged in this work, and it is impossible to calculate how much human, material and financial resources have been expended on this. One by one, obstacles are removed. The manufacturing work was carried out rapidly, the production of supporting equipment was guaranteed, and the first batch of products was assembled......

In September 194, a train carrying the first second-stage ICBM left the gates of the Prussian machine-building plant. On September 26, the train arrived at the No. 42 launch pad of the test site where the Second Test Bureau and the technical position are located.

Rudolf, the commander of the missile forces and former deputy head of the Third German Reich, was appointed chairman of the State Test Committee. The technical leadership of the test was Yangli, deputy chief designer of the missile system. ˋˊ At the Integrated Installation Test Facility, missile tests began at the end of September and lasted until January 2.

The P-16 missile, which was given a special mission, shouldered the hopes of Hitler and the German Union and even the entire NATO, and if it succeeded, then the German Union would maintain a minimum strategic deterrence against China in the short term. Because ICBMs are much faster than strategic bombers, they can avoid the Chinese Imperial radar air defense network to monitor low-speed strategic bombers (relative speed). In this way, the Chinese Empire will not dare to risk a strategic nuclear strike on the German Union and NATO in a short time.

By midnight on 2 January, all tests leading up to the first launch of the P-16 missile had been completed. Hitler, the top leader of the German League, closely followed the whole process of the experiment. The government communications department is on standby and does not dare to slack off in the slightest. Because, at any time, Hitler could ask for a phone call from the test site, or even come directly to watch it.

In order to maintain the nuclear balance of missile power, the German Union needs ICBMs too much! What's more, the holiday to celebrate the founding of NATO is coming soon. In those days. Traditional festivals should always be associated with important achievements as much as possible. The launch of an ICBM will undoubtedly become a major political event in the international arena.

Hitler, who wanted to use the results of ICBM research to raise the prestige of the German coalition government and his own political standing, gave Rudolf the task by saying: "When I go to negotiate with the Chinese Empire, and my feet set foot on the soil of the Chinese Empire, you will give me a missile." Scare and scare the Chinese. ”

In fact, Hitler never dared to set foot on the territory of the Chinese Empire in his life, and he was afraid of Wang Chenhao, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, who seemed to be able to see through his mind. Of course, Hitler was actually afraid of being assassinated, so he sent Deputy Führer Rudolf to China.

Obviously, the purpose of Rudolph's visit to China was to stop the new round of arms race in the Chinese Empire, because the German League now has no money, and a large-scale arms race can only drag down the German Federation. But the German Union could not show weakness, so during Rudolph's visit to China. If the German Union can successfully test an ICBM, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to Rudolph's negotiations.

In the early morning of 21 January, the missiles that had completed their engine docking were transported out of the comprehensive installation test facility and then transported to the launch site at the No. 41 launch pad, a few kilometers away from the facility.

From the moment the missile is installed on the launch pad, the pre-launch preparation time enters the countdown. The technically required testing and pre-launch operations were completed on 21-23 January, and the missile was refueled with fuel components and compressed gas on 23 January. The critical stage of preparation for the launch has begun, and the launch time is set for 19 o'clock local time on the 23rd. The whole day was uneventful. In the evening. The missile launch is ready to enter the decisive moment.

Since the Chinese Empire had been closely following the German Union's so-called space test program (a mask for ICBM tests), the CIA learned that the German Union was preparing to launch the P-16 ICBM, and quickly sent agents to infiltrate and try to stop it.

At 1:03, an agent of the Chinese Empire managed to enter a small hill 19 kilometers from the launch site, using a disused sewer from World War II. Due to the very huge reaction force of the rocket launch, there was no one within a radius of 2 kilometers before the launch to prevent being burned by the high temperature air wave ejected by the rocket.

The agent's name was William Chen. is a Chinese of European descent. He was carrying a 2 Reaper sniper rifle. This sniper rifle uses point-50 caliber special sniper ammunition and is the only rifle weapon of the Chinese Empire that can strike targets within two kilometers. Of course, although this sniper rifle uses a 22x sniper scope, the error is still very large, and it can only hit a headshot within 9 meters and a human torso within 15 meters. But the Germans' rockets were huge. Coupled with the fact that it was not officially in service, many rocket engine parts were exposed, which gave William an excellent opportunity to shoot.

At 1:35, the countdown of the P-16 rocket began.

When the countdown went to zero and the Germans pressed the launch button, Wilhelm Chan fired.

The sound of 2 sniper rifles firing was masked by a loud whistling sound at the moment of rocket launch. The point 50 sniper projectile fired from the 2 sniper rifle hit the high-temperature diaphragm in the engine oxidizer and fuel lines of the rocket's first stage.

There was a loud "boom", and the rocket exploded before it left the launch pad. In an instant, the entire launch site was like the end of the world, and the mountains shook and thundered. In an instant, the flames were flying, the smoke was billowing out, and a radius of more than ten kilometers was shrouded in smoke and dust.

This was the time when Rudolph and his party arrived at the Chinese Empire. Rudolph's expected voice of world shock did not appear, the German Union ICBM test failed, Rudolph lost one of the most important bargaining chips in negotiations with the Chinese Empire, and thus could not prevent the Chinese Empire from carrying out large-scale arms expansion, and the German Union had to accelerate the development of military forces in order to cope with the military pressure of the Chinese Empire, and thus was dragged into a protracted arms race by the Chinese Empire.
