Chapter 901: ME262

Today is the fourth watch, and tomorrow I hope to return to the state of the fifth watch. Ask for a monthly pass!

***************

"The lieutenant colonel calls it a 'silos'!" "The good thing about it, besides being safe, is that it's reusable!" ”

Conrad excitedly stood in front of the silo and said: "After the launch, we can close the opening, it is made of 200MM thick steel plates, which can resist most shell bombardment, and even if it hits directly, because its orbit is tilted, it will not pose much threat to the bottom facilities!" Then, when we are ready to launch again, we can open the silos......"

Hitler turned to Qin Chuan and asked with some incredulous eyes, "Lieutenant Colonel, is this your idea again?" ”

"Some of them!" Qin Chuan replied: "For example...... THIS 200MM THICK STEEL PLATE IS NOT! ”

Hitler, Rommel and others couldn't help but laugh.

"There's really an idea that isn't the lieutenant colonel!" Conrad said, "But it was also inspired by the lieutenant colonel......

"What is it?" Qin Chuan asked.

"I got V1 into the tunnels too!" Conrad said.

"Colonel!" Rommel said: "It doesn't seem to make a difference! ”

"Well, that's true!" Conrad spread his hands: "But I think the lieutenant colonel has so many good ideas, he won't care if I 'plagiarize' one!" ”

The officers laughed again, and Hitler was no exception.

"So ......," Hitler asked, "how many such silos do we have?" ”

"Your Excellency!" Conrad replied: "We have about 300 kilometers of firing positions behind the Maginot line, which is 10 kilometers apart. There are 20 silos per launch site, for a total of 600 silos! ”

"Its range?" Hitler asked.

"100 km!" Conrad replied: "The shooting altitude is 12,000 meters, which is enough to deal with the Americans B17 high-altitude bombers!" ”

"Good!" Hitler nodded, shook Conrad's hand again with a look of relief, and said, "Thank you, this is really worth the trip!" ”

Then he turned to the officers and said, "The last time I came here was on the day of the French surrender, and after the negotiations with the French were over, I specially invited them to visit this line of defense with me, and I will never forget the way the proud French could not lift their heads before me!" ”

The officers laughed knowingly.

"I thought this line of defense represented a disgrace for the French!" The more Hitler spoke, the more agitated he became, and the handful of hair on his forehead jumped up and down as he shook his fist and bit the words: "I thought it would be a thing of the past, I thought it was just a historical evidence, and if I could, I would even like to put it in a museum."

But, gentlemen!

I was wrong.

For I find that it will shine again in your hands, and once again make our victory our pride! ”

Rommel and others applauded one after another, and Qin Chuan also made up for it...... Of course, we have to cheer for Hitler, although he is not very good in military affairs, but I have to admit that the impromptu speech is still very vivid and infectious.

"I'll order mass production of the ME163 right away!" Hitler said to Rommel: "And then there's the V1, and everything you need." Let the world tremble under your wisdom according to your plan! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Rommel replied.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Then Hitler shook Qin Chuan's hand and sighed: "Only now do I really understand what 'legendary sergeant' means, you deserve it!" If you have any suggestions or ideas, I will allow you to report them directly to me......"

"Uh, Your Excellency!" After Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, he said, "Actually, I have an idea now!" ”

"I'm listening!" Hitler smiled and posed as a courteous corporal.

Actually, it was just that Hitler was in a good mood...... He did have a reason to be in a good mood today, and although he did not admit it, the strong force and equipment pressure between the Germans and the Allies kept him awake at night.

Now that he finally saw a suitable plan, his hanging heart was half relieved, how could he be in a bad mood?

"That's right, Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan said: "A large part of the reason why we have been able to maintain a strategic offensive on the Eastern Front is that we have air superiority over the Soviet Union. And on the Western Front...... The loss of our air superiority has left us tied on every front. Even in our plan, we are preparing a counteroffensive from the Ardennes with armored forces, and if we do not have air supremacy, it will definitely be greatly reduced! ”

Hitler agreed: "Our armored forces will be hit by enemy air forces on their way forward!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "Therefore, in addition to using equipment like the ME163 to attack their high-altitude targets, we urgently need a fighter with advanced performance, which needs to be faster and can effectively suppress the existing fighters of the Allies." Only in this way will we have more room to play! ”

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Rommel interrupted Qin Chuan's words a little helplessly: "Developing a fighter is not a matter of a while, we don't have such a fighter!" ”

Qin Chuan let out an "oh" and said, "I'm sorry, I thought the problem simple!" ”

In fact, Qin Chuan said this just for a show.

He actually knew that Germany had an advanced fighter, and this fighter was the ME262, a jet fighter.

This fighter was successfully tested in July last year, and with the level of German industry and the demand on the battlefield, it should be officially put into production and sent to the battlefield this year.

The problem is that Hitler is not on the line in IQ...... He thought that Germany only had to think about attacking and not need to defend.

At that time, it seems that this was indeed the case, and the Luftwaffe had full air supremacy over the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front, so the demand for fighters was not very urgent and the bombers were urgently needed.

As a result, Hitler ordered the ME262 to be used as a high-speed bomber first.

This decision proved to be extremely short-sighted, because not only did the Soviet Union take a turn in air supremacy, but the Allies also had absolute superiority over the German army in air supremacy.

Qin Chuan said these words to Hitler, aiming at ME262.

Obviously, ME262 at this time was still top secret, so much so that Rommel didn't know about its existence, so Qin Chuan shouldn't know about it.

Qin Chuan glanced at Hitler.

If he wasn't stupid, he should know that what was urgently needed on the battlefield at this time was a high-speed fighter and not a bomber.

But who knows what Hitler would have decided?

Next, Hitler's words finally let go of Qin Chuan's hanging heart.

"No, we do!" Hitler said: "We have such fighters, and I promise you that in the near future they will fly into the air and become the guarantee of your attack!" ”
