Chapter XXIV The Arms Race
The second more.
――――――
It's just that even if the German army wants to start manufacturing, it can't be made in a short time, and the war is like a bottomless pit, and the consumption of various strategic materials during World War II is extremely great, especially the consumption of various metals is very amazing.
At the end of 1942, in order to cope with the shortage of metal, Mountbatten proposed to Churchill the "Habakkuk Project", trying to build an aircraft carrier with a displacement of up to 2 million tons with a mixture of 14% wood chips and 86% ice "Patrick", but in the end, it failed. It is said that it took three years for the unfinished hull to melt down, so the HO229 should not be built too quickly.
In the movie, the big triangular plane piloted by the Red Skull is actually a revised version of HO229, and Zhang Yang is not sure where the drawings of the Red Skull came from and when it was first manufactured. Anyway, the Colonel Filmin in front of him really provided the design drawings of HO229 and a lot of information to the No. 2 person of Hydra, Baron Straker.
Colonel Film, who belongs to the Air Force, has an innate advantage close to the design of the new aircraft, and Zhang Yang is not very clear about what means he used. But at least judging from the current situation, there are very few troops who can have access to and have the corresponding qualifications to test and test fly the ME262 at the moment, at least until the German government officially publicly exposed the ME262, and it is obvious that Colonel Film's status in the Air Force is not as ordinary as everyone sees.
An ordinary airport capable of saving me262? Have access to HO229?
Ho229 was used as one of the means of survival in Nazi Germany. The secrecy authority is extremely high, which is also the real reason why Zhang Yang is impressed with Colonel Filin.
"The people of this period are simply crazier than the other."
A design drawing. Becoming a stepping stone for Colonel Filin to join Hydra, Zhang Yang could almost imagine what Baron Straker's next plan would be.
Dr. Zola, a Red Skull's subordinate, has created a new type of weapon, but has never found a suitable energy source, but the Cosmic Cube has solved this problem, and this batch of weapons that emit blue light will hit the human body. It can make people disappear without a trace in an instant, which can be said to be certain death, which is more terrifying than ordinary bullets.
Red Skull is like that. Baron Straker was naturally unwilling to be robbed of the limelight by the other party, and since there was not much information about Baron Straker, according to Zhang Yang's understanding, Baron Straker created a weapon called the "Death Spore Bomb". The prototype is something called a "spore virus". Straker himself was injected with the virus. Successfully delayed their aging.
Despite not being injected with the super-soldier serum, Straker himself has a good physique, was a Nazi officer before founding Hydra, and was a former world fencing champion and a spy. It is worth mentioning that Natasha, the famous "Black Widow" in Marvel, was trained by Straker at an early age, and was later rescued by Captain America and Wolverine (plot in the comics).
The so-called death spore bomb. Zhang Yang hasn't seen it, but it must not be a good thing. It shouldn't be too bad to be able to compare with the Red Skull's Blu-ray Cube weapon.
Zhang Yang took some time to calm his mind again, and when he looked at Colonel Filin again, his gaze had changed, this was not only a Nazi officer, but also a daring opportunist.
Ho229's information is highly classified, Colonel Film's ability to get his hands and not be discovered, apparently has his own backhand, Zhang Yang guessed whether Baron Straker was for this reason, so he didn't dare to fully trust Colonel Film, so he sent himself to observe.
It's a pity that this Major Halst, who died before the division was born, was mixed here by Zhang Yang and impersonated.
"Well, Colonel Film, I hope you can do your best, Mr. Baron can't wait."
Hearing Zhang Yang speak, he seemed to be quite satisfied with his appearance, and Colonel Feilin's originally stern face also softened, and after glancing around, he suddenly whispered.
"Hurrah, Hydra!"
"No, it's Baron Straker's long live." Zhang Yang blinked, Colonel Filin understood, and then repeated.
"Long live Baron Straker!"
The two slogans seem to be similar, but the meanings are completely different, the baron himself can control the hydra, but the hydra is not only the owner of the baron, since Colonel Filin chose Baron Straker as the party to the transaction, it is actually equivalent to surrendering to the baron himself, and has nothing to do with the Red Skull and Baron Zemo.
Zhang Yang and Colonel Film, this can be regarded as a mutual confession, without the previous verbal temptation, the next topic is also a lot easier, both of them intentionally or unintentionally ignore the rest time, fortunately, the four of Bucky are not squeamish, and it is no problem to stand in a military posture for a while.
And the reason why the four people were present, rather than letting them rest, was also a flamboyant idea.
This is not to deliberately make trouble for the four of them, but Zhang Yang is very clear about his identity at the moment, if there is no beard and others present, I am afraid that when he returns to the UK and tells the news he has obtained, he will also be suspected by some people. With the bearded lieutenant present, at least Zhang Yang has a shield when this kind of thing happens.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yang asked some questions about his next task without a trace, but unfortunately what he got was not too detailed. The only thing I learned was that the Nazi doctor, Rolf, was himself a physicist and chemist. The big box and the small suitcase that Zhang Yang escorted this time were all the things that the doctor named to use.
According to the order, the physicist took off from Garin, made a stopover in Paris, and came here on a military plane to make peace with him, and then the two sides flew together to a secret base in Germany, somewhere in Hydra, to which Baron Straker had personally invited.
Being able to ask the baron to personally invite him to make a special escort is obviously not an ordinary person. As for why it was so secretive, Colonel Filin vaguely revealed some information.
"This doctor seems to be involved in a secret plan between the military and Hydra, and the secrecy is very high, and I don't know exactly what it does, only that it should be the development of some kind of super powerful weapon. And as far as I know, the Americans seem to have heard about it and set up a team to reconnoitre. You also know that if you accidentally run into an Allied flying team, it will be over, so for the sake of secrecy and security, the Baron will let the doctor go the military route. ”
"A secret program to develop weapons?"
Zhang Yang always felt a little uneasy when he heard the news.
Physicists, weapons development, secrets, World War II, and the American team....... these clues kept colliding in Zhang Yang's mind, and Zhang Yang vaguely felt that he was about to touch the truth of this plan.
However, what Colonel Filin mentioned just now gave Zhang Yang a big shock, so his mind was a little messy at the moment, and Zhang Yang decided to calm down and think about it, what it was, which made his heart vaguely uneasy.
After figuring out his mission and the identity of the doctor, Zhang Yang asked a few questions about me262 in order to verify whether the information he had was biased. The news he got made Zhang Yang's heart settle down a lot, and ME262 is currently undergoing final tests and minor modifications to fix some of the problems exposed in the last battle.
According to the news from Berlin, the ME262 will officially appear on the battlefield in about two months, but due to the opposition of a certain field marshal, Hitler retracted his decision to build this jet aircraft with all his might, and ensured the normal production of other piston planes that were already very mature.
Zhang Yang is a little sorry, the marshal who opposes the all-out manufacture of me262, I am afraid he also sees some problems, me262 is not omnipotent, compared with Hitler who is on the rise, this marshal is much calmer.
"Since the new plane is here, presumably the Allies will inevitably come to spy on it, what is the security situation of the base?"
"This can be assured, unless the Allied bombers fly directly over the base, it is difficult for conventional forces to attack. But if the Allied planes want to come, of course we will not be unprepared. Colonel Filin was clearly confident in this.
For the other armaments of the base, Colonel Filin also gave a brief introduction, because this is a basin, except for a team guarding the only entrance, the others are mainly based on the surrounding anti-aircraft machine guns, and there are about 50 aircraft in the base, including 20 JU-88 bombers, as well as 15 BF-109 and FW190 fighters.
During World War II, there were many battles between the Allied and German armies that bombed each other, day and night. The Ju-88 as the main force of the existing bombers of the German army, and the United States B17 "Flying Fortress" bomber has its own merits, because during World War II for bombers more important, the definition of fighters is mainly to cover bombers, and today's fighter definition and tactics are different, so the most common situation, that is, a B17 bombing team of the Allied Air Force, surrounded by a large group of fighters for protection, there are mosquitoes, there are also P40, and now P51 "Mustang" has also begun to be installed.
On the other hand, the Luftwaffe is behind a group of Ju-88s, followed by a group of BE109s or other FW190 models. (To be continued......)
