Chapter 968: Violent reaction

readx; There is no doubt that China's exercise combining B19 bombers and nuclear bombs has brought a huge shock to the United States! If China only has B19 bombers, it is nothing, the big deal is to drop some conventional bombs on the US mainland, and the threat is effective. In the same way www.biquge.info, if China only has nuclear bombs, then it is fine, anyway, as long as it cannot hit the United States, China's nuclear bombs are the same as China's aircraft carriers, jet planes, tanks and other weapons, although they are good, but there is no key factor that determines the victory or defeat of a full-scale war between China and the United States.

In recent years, judging from the geographical location of China and the United States and the huge industrial scale of the two countries, it is basically impossible for China and the United States to win or lose militarily in a conventional war, and it will turn into a war of attrition 100 percent later.

A nuclear bomb that cannot be delivered is at most a large landmine, far from being a strategic weapon, and only when it has the ability to deliver nuclear bombs can it truly become the cornerstone of global peace.

But now China has both the B19 bomber and the nuclear bomb, and when the two are combined, the United States feels a real threat, which is no longer the threat of war, but the threat of the complete destruction of its homeland.

When the Americans were shocked to discover that China not only had nuclear bombs, but also had the ability to deliver nuclear bombs to the United States, they became extremely alarmed, especially when many photos and videos of China's nuclear bomb explosion tests off the coast of New York were circulated and published, which further intensified the panic in the United States, and many worried Americans left large cities to live in suburban towns in an attempt to avoid a nuclear war that was very likely in the future.

Not everyone will believe that a nuclear war will break out between China and the United States, especially a large number of Americans who claim to be sensible believe that there will be no full-scale war between China and the United States.

In addition, there were many anti-war activists who once again set off anti-war demonstrations in the United States**, and almost on the night after the end of China's nuclear bomb exercises in the Atlantic Ocean, a large number of anti-war people marched on the streets, accusing Roosevelt of the political axe and China's actions in the global confrontation without the slightest consideration for the lives of ordinary people, putting the originally peace-loving American people in an extremely dangerous realm, and even playing the slogan for this reason: We want peace, not nuclear bombs!

Those capitalists on Wall Street are also worried, although they also supported the political axe and China to compete for Asian and European interests, but the premise is that they themselves will not suffer too much threat, even if China and the United States fight a full-scale conventional war of attrition, but it will not fundamentally harm their interests, but now the Chinese's nuclear bombs can be thrown on their heads at any time, which makes them feel a serious threat.

On the one hand, these capitalists are demanding that the political axe quickly develop its own air defense program, as well as nuclear bombs and intercontinental bombers, through the legislators who speak for themselves, and at the same time, it is also demanding that the political axe exercise the necessary restraint in dealing with China affairs.

Don't listen to what you say, 'Exercise the necessary restraint,' just bow your head when you should bow your head, and don't cause trouble.

In the face of the strong domestic reaction, in order to keep the people in power, and also to dispel the panic caused by China's nuclear bomb in the United States, the US North American Air Defense Command issued an announcement, claiming that the North American Air Defense Command has the most powerful air defense body in the world, which is enough to shoot down any aircraft that invades US airspace.

And when the reporter asked if it was possible to shoot down the B19 bomber, the spokesman for the North American Air Defense Command was unashamed: "Yes!" ”

What he said is really not a lie, although the Americans do not have fighters that can intercept B19 bombers, and there are no anti-aircraft missiles, but there are also large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, those 152-mm caliber anti-aircraft guns have enough fire height to threaten B19 bombers, of course, the spokesman of the North American Air Defense Command will naturally not talk about the air defense efficiency of 152-mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, and whether they can hit so high and whether they can hit are two different things!

However, regardless of whether it hits or not, large-caliber antiaircraft artillery is already the only weapon system in the United States that can threaten the B-19 bomber, and before there is no better way, the United States can only plan to purchase large-caliber antiaircraft artillery on a large scale and then deploy it in major cities to serve as a sub-task of air defense in important areas.

On the day after China conducted the Atlantic nuclear bomb exercise, the US Army and Navy issued urgent orders to many US defense contractors, demanding the purchase of large-caliber antiaircraft guns that can reach an altitude of more than 16,000 meters, and the time requirements were very urgent; in addition to the existing anti-aircraft guns, they also issued a purchase of a new model of large-caliber antiaircraft guns, and the time limit for research and development was also very rigid, requiring that a detailed design must be produced within one month, and large-scale mass production must be achieved within two months.

Before there are no fighters that can threaten the B19 bombers, and before there are no anti-aircraft missiles, the United States can only use large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the US mainland from nuclear bombing.

As for China, it is even more impressive, because China's largest caliber anti-aircraft gun is only 125 mm, and China's native air defense forces in World War II are not keen on the development and equipment of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and even the 125 mm anti-aircraft guns equipped by the Air Force are not too much. The three calibers of 100 mm are the main, and 125 mm anti-aircraft guns are not much.

After China's S1 anti-aircraft missiles began mass production and large-scale service last year, the Air Force completely stopped the purchase of antiaircraft guns with a caliber of more than 100 mm, and only retained the existing antiaircraft gun group, but did not continue to order more than 100 mm antiaircraft guns, and instead invested funds in the procurement of the S1 air defense missile system.

However, the situation in the United States is different from that of China, and without anti-aircraft missiles, they can only continue to use large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and they are not talking about four-inch or five-inch anti-aircraft guns, but are preparing to be equipped with six-inch anti-aircraft guns on a large scale.

Speaking of the roots, the United States was also forced by China, otherwise who would be equipped with six-inch anti-aircraft guns on a large scale in this era, the consumption ratio is really too poor.

With more than a dozen nuclear bombs and less than 100 B19 bombers, the United States has to deploy at least tens of thousands of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns on its own territory, and this cost is a sea of money.

In addition to the most pragmatic and urgent large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, the US Army Air Corps was the first to issue time-limited research and development requirements to several domestic aviation companies in the United States, requiring them to obtain a new high-altitude interceptor fighter by 1946!

The surname can be very simple, that is, to be able to shoot down China's B19 bomber, and the specific thing is that the combat ceiling must be as high as 16,000 meters, because in China's nuclear bomb exercises, the cruising altitude of the B19 bomber has not been lower than 15,000 kilometers, and the altitude is as high as 16,000 kilometers when the bomb is about to be dropped. Without a combat altitude of 16,000 meters, it is simply impossible to effectively attack B19 bombers.

At the same time, it is also required that the new interceptor fighter be equipped with a cannon of more than 20 millimeters to ensure the destruction effect, because the B19 bomber is a huge monster, although the maximum take-off weight is comparable to the B36 developed by the United States, which is about 160 tons, but in terms of appearance, China's B19 bomber is even larger, so it also gives the Americans a false impression that the maximum take-off weight of China's B19 bomber has reached at least 180 tons or even more than 200 tons. They don't know that the B19 has no protection, and the fuselage structure is relatively thin, while the B36 bomber is a decent bomber, and the fuselage structure and maneuvering overload are much stronger than the B19.

It is also very easy to understand that the Chinese B19 bomber began to be developed in the late thirties, made its first flight in 1940, and began to be mass-equipped in 1941. It was four or five years earlier than the first flight of the B36, and in World War II, five years was enough time for more than two generations of combat aircraft from various countries.

The plans for anti-aircraft guns and new interceptor fighters were intended for defense, and since there was defense, the Americans naturally did not relax their offensive weapons.

In addition to once again increasing investment in the Manhattan project, the United States has also made the B36 project a key project.

"There is nothing more urgent now than the Manhattan Project and the B36 Project," said War Secretary Henry, "and any project and program must give way to both!" ”

When the Americans were frightened by China's nuclear bomb drills, and did not even make any nonsense such as protests, but suddenly focused all their attention on the construction of the local air defense ring and the development and production of nuclear bombs and nuclear bomb delivery vehicles, the reaction of other countries was much more interesting.

On the German side, Hitler personally issued a radio speech, in which he greatly praised China's nuclear bomb as an important guarantee for effectively safeguarding world peace, and as in any previous speech, Germany and China have had traditional friendly relations for many years, and hoped that China and Germany could develop closer military cooperation relations, and also praised Chen Jingyun as the most important leader of China and even the world in the 20 th century. almost didn't directly say that his admiration for Chen Jingyun was as passionate as the rough waves of the North Atlantic.

This is also a fact, Hitler still admires Chen Jingyun very much!
