The waves rolled and the whistle sounded, and a broad freighter slowly sailed into the port of Santo Domingo, on the island of Haiti. Next to the dock gantry crane, heavy trucks manufactured by Rheinmetall also arrived with the neighing of diesel engines, and their wide and huge bodies were far inferior to even the Tiger tanks that the German 6th Army was proud of. When the obviously heavy iron boxes were slowly hoisted behind the rear of the truck, the ground personnel quickly fixed them firmly with ropes, and watched the truck roar away in a puff of green smoke.

As the most important port base of Germany on the island of Haiti, Santo Domingue has 4 to 6 merchant ships entering the port every day to unload cargo, and the loading and unloading of various types of materials is extremely diverse; Although the people on the docks were quite surprised by the appearance of these giant iron boxes, after a short period of attention and speculation, no one paid attention to them anymore. The port quickly restored its normal order, and fuel, food and other materials were unloaded in an orderly manner; The convoy of more than 100 heavy trucks was already speeding west along the flat road in the south of the island, with their final goal being a new base near Port-au-Prince.

Although the terrain of Haiti Island is dominated by mountains, the southern coastal part is a rare flat area6, and the convoy drove very smoothly on the road where the mines had been cleared, and it took less than six hours to reach the destination. In the desolate wilderness, there are small cabins for living and even a tennis court for leisure and exercise. And the most eye-catching. Or the steel frames that stand tall in the open space. They set up one every 100 meters. It is undoubtedly more than ten meters high, and there is a small pool below it, which reflects the colorful luster in the sunlight.

"Alright guys, you can get out of here now for normal transport. However, I hope that you will not divulge the specifics of today's mission to anyone, otherwise you will be welcome to enter the Gestapo interrogation room at any time! When the huge iron box loaded on the truck was unloaded, a tall officer wearing the epaulettes of the lieutenant colonel immediately threatened the drivers who were resting in the clearing. In the face of the other party's straight military uniform and stern look, the wedge driver all nodded like garlic. And made all kinds of firm vows to keep their mouths tight. Although Germany itself was currently relatively enlightened under the Qing Dynasty, the state secret police established to suppress hostile sabotage activities in Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic states, France, and other occupied territories was a huge force. In the previous 25 years, I don't know how many nationalists, passive resistance, and guerrilla saboteurs in the occupied territories of Eastern Europe had been imprisoned forever or even shot to death; It is thanks to the Gestapo's brutal repression of opposition that these regions have been able to maintain an orderly state of society from the beginning to the end.

As the war broke out and continued, the secret state police added a counter-espionage mission, which undoubtedly swelled its organization to an astonishing level compared to peacetime. In this case. No ordinary people want to have anything to do with this organization: to hell with those goddamn spies, we just want to live our lives!

Seeing how knowledgeable these drivers are. The lieutenant colonel had no intention of making them unduly difficult, and in a short time they disappeared around the corner of the road along with the truck. And it was only then that the contents of the iron boxes really revealed its mystery. When the German soldiers removed the bolts on the surface of the iron box, they were greeted by amazingly large rockets, although this weapon has been widely used in the 6th Army and the Air Force, but such a huge volume is completely unique in their lives!

At the urging of the lieutenant colonel, the German soldiers quickly erected the big guys with cranes and other lifting equipment, and assembled them on top of the steel frames. At this point, the German soldiers were able to get a glimpse of these giant rockets in their full form. Smooth and streamlined arrows, a thick and powerful rounded waist, an elegant tail with a cold sheen, and a hot gas jet with a black hole...... This qiē makes those who see it seem to have an unreal feeling of time and space being confused, as if this timeline is not at all in the early spring of 1938, but another war that broke out 2o years later!

In order to prevent the US reconnaissance planes from breaking through their own air defense interception network and showing the abnormal situation here, the German soldiers used grass and trees to camouflage these towering missiles accordingly. With the help of the steel frame platform launched by the missiles to carry the Konoha leaves, these missiles look like towering giant trees when viewed from the air. After doing this, the mechanics who arrived first still did not have the slightest rest, and they had to carry out a comprehensive inspection of the motive and guidance equipment of the more than 24o missiles on the launch rack to ensure that these missiles would not appear in the middle of the fire after being transported for up to 45oo nautical miles. After nightfall, they were still doing their careful and tedious work with the help of searchlights, and there were less than nine hours to go, when the missiles were fired, and they had to complete all the inspection tasks before then.

The jungles of the Caribbean Sea are home to a large number of insects that the Germans had never heard of, and they are naturally phototaxis when attracted by the light of searchlights. However, the German soldiers, who had been on the island for three months, had gained some experience, and they used masks and leaves of special plants with a pungent smell to drive the little ones out. In addition to the U.S. military, in the name of .[,! These insects were vector-borne bush diseases and were one of the most troubling enemies the Germans faced on the Caribbean islands. However, thanks to the smooth passage of transatlantic shipping, various medicines were also transported to the front lines of the war, and the operation of these diseases was suppressed on a large extent; For the seriously ill, the German Navy can also transport them to South America or even Germany for treatment, which greatly reduces the non-combat attrition of the German army due to water and soil adaptation.

At about 4 o'clock in the morning, the inspection of the last missile was finally completed. The mechanics who were about to get tired did not go back to the barracks to sleep for two days and three nights, but only chose a simple nap; For no other reason, no one wants to miss the historic moment when 248 missiles were lifted into the air in a short period of time. The lieutenant colonel of the 6th Army, who was in charge of this firing range, had already received a call from Kesselring himself, asking him to launch a full-scale strike at the US San Diego airfield 416 kilometers away at 6:15 that day; At this time, the firing parameters of those missiles have also been fully adjusted. As time passed, the dark blue of the sky faded and was replaced by a faint light green of the East, followed by a bright yellow-orange-red color. Seeing that the time was up, the lieutenant colonel of the 6th Army did not hesitate any longer, and immediately gave the order to start shooting!

"Whew!" With the violent reaction of ethanol and liquid oxygen in the afterburner chamber, the tail of the 15-meter-long missile suddenly erupted a red orange flame like a cloud of steam. At this time, the pool at the bottom of the shooting frame plays an irreplaceable role, and the steaming water vapor absorbs a large amount of heat contained in the high-temperature tail flame, so as to control the range of its impact at a lower range. In the roar of a tsunami-like jet, a missile weighing more than 14 tons actually flew off the firing frame on its own, and dragged a blazing tail flame like a comet, rushing straight into the untouchable vast sky at an increasingly fast speed!

Clusters of light and flames surged from the tail of the missile, like lightning roaring, dragons and snakes soaring into the sky; The magnificence of its momentum and the grandeur of the scene can be called a terrifying ghost. Everyone, including the lieutenant colonel who had learned some of the details, was deeply shocked by the grand scene of hundreds of giant missiles rising into the air in succession. The soldiers stood dumbfounded, completely immersed in the visual impact of this Yue era, and completely forgot to cheer; The missile mechanics clenched their fists, their bloodshot tired eyes filled with tears. Many of them have been in the industry for more than a decade and are all too familiar with the journey of propulsion rockets; And now, all the efforts they have made in the past have been duly rewarded!

Unbeknownst to the nounclers, 23 of the missiles crashed shortly after liftoff, and the wreckage fell into the rough Caribbean Sea due to the inevitable error of the individual manufacturing. However, the other 225 missiles all entered the predetermined orbit and in a short time had risen to a terrifying altitude of more than 13o kilometers above the ground. At this altitude, the atmosphere has become extremely thin, and the flight resistance of the missile is significantly lower than that near the ground, which is an important reason why it has a long range. When all the fuel is exhausted, the precision inertial gyroscope located in the front of the missile body begins to wave, guiding the missile to follow the established trajectory and fall downward. Although the V3 missile had lost thrust at this time, under the action of gravity, it still quickly reached more than 5 times the sound of 1.8km per second; Through the heavy morning clouds and mist, below it is the core of the US military in Cuba! (To be continued!)
