As time went on, the specter of war over the continent grew heavier, and both camps dramatically accelerated their arms build-up and took on a stance of mutual intransigence over the bitterly heated Spanish Civil War. In his New Year's Eve message in 1937, the German emperor made it clear to his subjects that he would severely punish France for unilaterally tearing up the "Peace of Amsterdam", and a large-scale anti-French wave broke out in Germany. Britain and the United States, which strongly supported France's crossing of the red line of the peace treaty, also became the target of attack and hatred of the German people. In every beer hall and café in Germany, you can hear the resentful denunciations of the people, and the idea of starting another war to solve the problem has become their common opinion. In the last war, they didn't have to spend much money to make a lot of money; The German people, who have tasted the sweetness of the war, do not mind at all that another war will be used to wipe out this group of forces that are enemies of themselves!

In addition to the routine visit to express the importance of scientific research projects, another important reason is to have an accurate insight into the current research and development progress of Germany's core technologies. Although war is a struggle for overall strength, and it is difficult for one or two sophisticated weapons to turn the tide in the rushing tide, some epoch-making science and technology are completely capable of playing an irreplaceable role under the bearing of corresponding weapons. In the 30s of the 20th century, when the sonata of the second industrial revolution reached its peak at its end, all kinds of revolutionary innovations were appearing like a blowout!

After more than 20 years of development, this scientific research institute, originally established in the name of Wilhelm, has become the largest and most well-equipped research organization in Germany and even in the whole of Europe. Thousands of engineers work in it. And a significant number of them were immigrants who fled to the United States after the economic crisis. Driven by the joint efforts of these people. At present, the level of science and technology in Germany has undoubtedly reached an extremely high level. During Qingying's inspection. The heads of the various projects put their results in front of the emperor.

First of all, there is the high-level missile and rocket technology. In another plane, Germany during World War II had the world's leading missile field, whether it was the low-flying V1 or the V2 flying out of the stratosphere, it had a reputation on the battlefield that shocked the enemy. Although Braun is still a young researcher at just 24 years old, he has already shown incredible talent and creativity in the field of rocketry; In the two years since he graduated from the University of Berlin with a doctorate in physics and joined the Royal Research Institute, German rocket technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through many previous limitations and bottlenecks at a rapid pace. October 1935. The ballistic missile, codenamed A-4, was successfully tested in East Prussia: it weighed 15 tons, was loaded with a high-explosive warhead of up to one ton, and had a maximum range of 425 km to make the leap across the English Channel to London. The missile's ultimate altitude of nearly 100km and its falling speed four times the speed of sound make it almost impossible to intercept by any current weapon!

In the face of this achievement that is better than the V2 missile in history, Qingying is not prepared to order mass production as in history. For no other reason, the cost of such missiles is simply too high. At present, even if the cost dilution after mass production is counted, the price of its ammunition will reach 110,000 marks; The price of a bf-109 fighter is only 70,000 marks, and the improved IV tank is only 90,000 marks. One missile flew out, which was equivalent to destroying more than one main tank. Due to the limitations of current guidance technology, its final accuracy is also difficult to speak of. No matter how you look at it. It is not cost-effective to squander this short-range missile as a shell; If the Japanese government had been replaced with a disregard for human life, they would have preferred to have fighter planes hang bombs to carry out kamikaze assaults rather than spend such huge financial resources!

However, Qingying obviously did not divert his favor for this weapon with great development potential. In terms of stability, range, and warhead loading, he put forward further requirements for the R&D team, and generously promised them rich feedback after the successful development. According to Qing Ying's vision, this weapon was used as a strategic deterrent to the enemy; It does not require the ability to mass-produce cheap consumables such as tanks and airplanes, and its only mission is to improve performance. After all, Germany is six to eight years ahead of the same period in history in many areas of science and technology, and it is very likely that a missile with the ideal range and projection will be realized in this war.

Compared with conventional warheads, missiles equipped with nuclear warheads are undoubtedly the most ideal deterrent. A normal bomb can blow up a small block at most, but a nuclear bomb is powerful enough to devastate an entire city! Even the first generation of fission nuclear weapons, which relied on photothermal radiation, shock waves, and induced radioactive materials to cause damage, turned Hiroshima and Nagasaki in another dimension into hell on earth; If Germany can make up for the shortcomings of history and take this devil in Pandora's box into its own hands before the United States, then Qingying will no longer have any worries about this imminent war!

What makes Qingying happy is that Germany's research and development progress on this ultimate mass killer has also reached an expected height. In 1934, Hahn, who was in charge of the Department of Radiochemistry, discovered the fission phenomenon of uranium nuclei under slow neutron bombardment in a real field, accompanied by the release of extremely high energy, which provided a solid theoretical basis for the use of nuclear energy in the military. After that, a series of supporting facilities were secretly built in East Prussia, Germany's old nest, with the strong support of Qingying: including the supply of a nuclear reactor, various enrichment units for extracting uranium-235 from natural uranium ore, and a large number of technicians for simulation calculations. After all, in the absence of computers, all the qiē has to be manually calculated by relevant personnel.

After three years and a huge investment of 1 billion marks, German engineers finally mastered the core mechanism of the fission nuclear bomb through repeated trials and calculations. To put it simply, their task is to create a supercritical state with a neutron breeding coefficient far greater than 1, so that uranium-235 can be fissioned in a very short period of time, and burst with unparalleled energy while losing mass. What the German engineers now need to do is to further refine the configuration to achieve the chain reaction and wait for the raw material concentration to be completed. Since uranium-235, which can be blasted by slow neutrons, accounts for only about 0.7% of natural uranium ore, and in order to achieve an ideal chain reaction, the content of uranium-235 in its nuclear raw material needs to reach more than 90%. Even with Qingying's absolute support for the project, it is expected that it will still take nearly two years to achieve the refining of high-purity uranium-235. In fact, this is the core difficulty of making uranium bombs in later generations; A simple shell is actually not complicated, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice is the fundamental means to restrain its proliferation.

In order to prevent the British and American countries from hearing the news, the German government implemented unprecedentedly strict secrecy measures for this plan. The 5,000-strong special forces surrounding the jungle-enclosed nuclear bomb research base and the secluded staff lived in isolation from the outside world, and only a guard of the Kaiser's descendants could enter and exit the area for the purpose of supplying supplies. With the exception of Ching Ying himself, Chancellor Erik, and Speer, who was directly responsible for the organization and implementation of the project, no one in the German government, not even Crown Prince Sprint, knew of the project. As this project continues to advance, Qingying, who is expected to reap success in a year, also has strong confidence to start the battle.

In addition to the fantastic strategic nuclear missiles, Germany has also developed a variety of guided tactical missiles and bombs on the basis of its own rocket technology, combined with radio technology and radar technology. The Hs-293 air-to-ship missile sank more than 400,000 tons of Allied ships of all types, and the Fritz X-bomb was a shot at the almost brand-new Roman battleship. Compared with traditional air-dropped bombs, the hit rate of these guided missiles is obviously more than a notch higher; More importantly, because this weapon can be controlled remotely, the attack aircraft no longer has to brave the enemy's small-caliber anti-aircraft guns to carry out close attacks, which greatly improves its survival rate on the battlefield.

After some technical research, a guided bomb that is better than the historical Hs-293 was also developed by German engineers. It weighs more than 1.1 tons, is equipped with 800kg of warhead explosives, has a maximum flight speed of 275 m/s, and has a horizontal range of 9 kilometers when dropped at an altitude of 5 kilometers. This distance is far beyond the range of the current 40-millimeter anti-aircraft guns capable of firing at high speeds, and it is extremely difficult for large-caliber anti-aircraft guns to achieve accurate results in air combat. Thanks to the same leap in radar and radio technology in Germany, the missile was able to use radar to determine coordinates and be guided by radio control. In order to prevent the possibility of electronic jamming by Britain and the United States, this type of missile has also been given space to be modified with wire-controlled control. With the addition of two wires more than 20 km long, the ideal precision control of the missile can be achieved.

With this guided weapon, the German navy's attack on the enemy fleet will be greatly increased, and once the sea power of the new Entente is defeated, the German army will be left to play its full potential. (To be continued......)
