On September 27, 1939, in the cool autumn morning breeze, an unprecedentedly large behemoth missile was transported out of the production hall at the Penemünde base and held vertically on the launch tower. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the technicians led by Braun, Germany's first experimental medium-range ballistic missile was finally built ahead of schedule and ushered in its first test launch. Compared to the V3 missiles that were previously put into use in the war, the current spire-shaped cylindrical object is not the same in terms of size and weight: it stands on a launch tower and is 6 stories high, and its total weight is not much lower than that of a Tiger tank!

With a thunderous roar, this behemoth missile, which looked like a giant tree of Fusang, rumbled into the air under the huge reaction force; From the ground, it looks like a comet dragging a blazing orange-red tail flame into the infinite blue sky at an increasing speed. Seeing this scene, all the staff present could not help but feel deep pride and shock at the achievements of their country, this kind of divine power that once only existed in fantasy has now been firmly in their hands!

The missile flew higher and higher, and soon left the stratosphere and stratosphere far behind; The curvature of the vast earth became more and more apparent, and finally it took on the shape of a giant planet in its field of vision. The dark universe is deep and vast, and you can't see the beginning and the end of it; The stars of an unknown number of light-years away twinkled silently in the darkness and dead silence, as if watching this uninvited guest who had recklessly intruded into the universe. Although the missile began to fall again after reaching a height of hundreds of kilometers above the ground, the technical reserves it brought were undoubtedly the beginning of the historical era of mankind's march into space!

The winds are blowing in the northern part of the Atlantic. Several ships flying the Black Vulture Cross flag are waiting quietly at the predetermined location. The anti-aircraft radar equipped on the ship is fully powered. Detects the target's prescription position at all times. After more than 20 minutes of flight, the missile's trail was finally recaptured more than 1,000 kilometers away, and this basically declared the complete success of the missile test launch. After a short time, a black dot burst out of the sky like lightning, and rushed into the sea, stirring up a jade pillar hundreds of meters high; The observers on each ship quickly calculated the exact landing point with the guò rangefinder.

"The missile has a range of 1,500 kilometers, a deviation of 6.2 kilometers, and a wind and wave of 4.5 in the target sea area. The air pressure was 731 mm Hg ......" Soon, a test report was drawn up by the relevant technical personnel and sent to the desk of Qingying's study in the palace. After carefully reviewing it, Qingying couldn't help but smile with joy on his face: the development of missile technology is even faster than he expected, and it has now been able to reach an error of nearly 0.4% of the range. In a very large way, he has solved the problem of starting from scratch in the field of long-range strikes that cannot be defended, and has added another extremely heavy bargaining chip to the German armed forces. No matter what challenges we face in the future, we will have a decisive advantage; After all, the combination of such weapons and nuclear bombs would bring about a radical change in the shape of the world, and it would be able to inflict divine punishment on any traditional expansive conqueror. Under these circumstances, it is no longer possible for any country to shake the current position of Germany by force. Germany's rise will also be a historic resounding story of the traditional path of emerging latecomers over the old first-mover empires.

But. If this weapon was to be used to stop Japan's expansion, it would require a detailed layout of the Qing and British in East Asia. Because Japan is surrounded by the sea, almost all of the national islands close to its mainland are occupied by it; Even with the German-controlled Philippines as a launch base, it still cannot cover Japan's borders in terms of range. However, if a long-range missile with a range of more than 3,000 kilometers is developed, the accuracy of the hit cannot be guaranteed under the current technical conditions, and the final effect is quite limited. Qing Ying clearly remembers that in the mid-60s, the later Celestial Empire was still dispersing military factories to the mountains, and its main motive was the lack of accuracy of the opponent's nuclear missiles; As long as the landing point is a few kilometers away, the surrounding mountains will become the best buffer to weaken the shock wave, and the factories and people hidden in it will have a considerable chance of surviving.

If Japan were to be an imaginary enemy, the best place to build a nuclear bomb silo would undoubtedly be Vladivostok, at the eastern tip of the Asian continent. Medium-range missiles launched from this base could easily cover the entire territory of Japan, and a single breakfast time could put an end to the entire war. At present, the city is still in the hands of the "Siberian State" with Omsk as its capital, and the Qing British envisage that the British would use diplomatic means to gain the right to transport within its borders, so as to put German power into the Far East, which was very close to Japan, through the Guò Trans-Siberian Railway.

Fortunately for Qingying, the relations between Siberia and Germany were quite good. As early as more than 20 years ago, he provided him with a large number of arms and Russian prisoners of war to fight against the newly born Red Russian regime in Eastern Europe; Kolchak, who is in power slightly younger than Denikin, is still the top leader of the 14 million square kilometre land. At present, Kolchak has a reason to cooperate with Qingying: the imperial Russian regime, supported by Berlin, has destroyed the red empire and inherited almost all of the latter's inheritance, and although he took advantage of the fire at the last moment, he obviously got far more than the imperial Russian regime that controlled the heart of Eastern Europe. Although they have been friends with each other for a long time, this is based on the common enemy of Red Russia; Now that the situation has changed, who knows if the other side with Alexei as emperor will see this constitutional state as a thorn in the side of heresy, and get rid of it in the near future!

If he can catch the Berlin line, then his former ally, who suddenly made a fortune, will definitely not dare to act because of the attitude of Germany. Although Kolchak was born in the military, he has served as the leader of a country for so many years, and he can undoubtedly have a very thorough understanding of the current international politics. In addition to defending against potential threats to the west, Kolchak faced an imminent crisis in the south. Japan's territorial ambitions grew further after its victory in the war against the United States: as early as the end of the Russo-Japanese War, they seized rights and interests in South Manchuria and the Liaodong Peninsula, and after decades of development and accumulation, they now put unprecedented pressure on the soft flank of the Siberian state. Kolchak looked at his population of less than 40 million and his meascan annual steel production of only 700,000 tons, and there was no suspense about the outcome of the war with Japan. At present, the only force that can curb Japan's expansion is Germany!

And for Qingying, it is also completely necessary to get close to this country at present. In the past, he had considered supporting the invasion of Siberia by Imperial Russia, but now it seems that it is not a wise move: after the war, Imperial Russia was too badly damaged, and it was difficult to start another foreign war in an emergency, and if he wanted to use Vladivostok as a nuclear bomb launch base, it would obviously take at least five or six years to use Vladivostok as a nuclear bomb launch base. In terms of overall strategy, Russia, which separates east and west, is also more conducive to Germany maintaining its transcendent position. Although Qingying was 100% sure that St. Petersburg could not have the strength to fight back against Berlin, the vast land and resources of Siberia could also provide ample potential impetus for the latter's re-emergence in the coming century; I have passed away in my prime, and I should think carefully about the future.

With these thoughts in mind, Germany immediately made contact with Siberia. Thanks to the common interests of both sides, the negotiations soon made substantial progress: Germany provided a quantity of equipment and financial assistance to the Siberian State, which carved out an open space in the countryside next to Vladivostok for Germany to set up a base. Of course, in order to prevent a possible strong response from Japan, the negotiations were held in absolute secrecy. Even with regard to St. Petersburg, Germany has not revealed a word for the time being.

Although the missile is still under development, the preliminary preparations can be carried out immediately. When this weapon of mass destruction was born, it could be immediately established as a deterrent to the entire territory of Japan through the deployment of Germany in the Far East. In order to conceal the eyes and ears of the Germans, the troops who had established a base outside Vladivostok had to wear the uniforms of the soldiers of the Siberian State from the day they crossed the Ural Mountains; The scope of its daily activities is also strictly limited to prevent it from being detected by the other party's spies in daily communication. The Siberian state will also cooperate in many aspects, they have stepped up the investigation of spies, and began to focus on strengthening the outer defense near Vladivostok, in order to prevent the Japanese occupying Korea from suddenly crossing the border and attacking the area with a direct attack on Huanglong.

A month later, the news came from the dense forests of East Prussia that Qingying was excited: the weight of the plutonium bomb had been successfully completed, and it had shrunk from nearly 4 tons at the beginning to 1.5 tons at present, and it could be fully loaded into the existing missile warheads. Due to structural improvements, the yield power of this small nuclear bomb is still maintained at more than 30,000 tons. Germany is going through Guò, a country that traverses the Asian continent, to have a Cuban Missile Crisis-style cover-up; Unlike history, the side targeted by the nuclear missile does not have the same weapon to carry out countermeasures, which can also make Qingying no longer have any worries.
