The war seems to have begun. Yang Rui of Tonghua did not fall asleep at this time, he was still carefully reviewing the R&D progress reports of various laboratories and project teams - only he knew better what was what and what could be used for it, and only he knew which laboratory and project team's research was the most critical. In addition, as long as he can say something, he can put forward some opinions, most of which are beneficial, and if they do not bring about substantial progress in research and development, they can at least point to a correct direction - as was the case in later generations. However, compared to the beginning, his opinions are becoming less and less, and most of them are focused on weapons research and development.

At this time, what he was reading was the Tianyan Plan, that is, the reconnaissance satellite plan, which was proposed after his visit to Japan last year. The problem now is the camera, the resolution of the high-altitude camera at this time is too low, and the accuracy of the camera mounted on the 10,000-meter high-altitude reconnaissance plane can reach 1.5 meters, but when installed on the satellite, the accuracy is only about 20 meters, which can only see the aircraft carrier and cannot see the plane.

Therefore, while the rocket is being improved (after calculation, it is not necessary to launch a satellite with a D-type rocket, as long as four strap-on propulsion rockets are added to the root of the mature C-type rocket), the accuracy of the camera is also being improved. In addition to camera accuracy, there are also satellite design problems, high-altitude metal thermal expansion and contraction problems, and film protection problems. The problem of space temperature difference, the tenacity of the film itself, the problem of film recoiling, the problem of small-angle orbit change of satellites, the problem of remote sensing, the problem of high-altitude power, and the problem of film recycling......

There are indeed many problems. However, since the secret project was established last year, these problems are being resolved. The laboratory expects its first launch in July next year. Excluding the investment in the improvement of satellites and rockets, the cost of each launch is more than 15 million, which is as high as 18 million -- the cost of nitrogen tetroxide is four times that of liquid oxygen, and the cost of dimethylhydrazine is even more outrageous, 100 times that of kerosene! Seeing that the cost of fuel was so high, Yang Rui regretted copying the Long March rockets of later generations. The only consolation is that nitrous tetroxide and dimethylhydrazine do not need cumbersome and complicated refrigeration equipment and high-pressure sealing equipment, nor do they need ignition devices, and the rocket is much more reliable because of its simple structure. Overall, this in turn reduces R&D expenses; In addition, fuel that does not require cryogenic refrigeration is filled faster than liquid oxygen. This is especially important for military rockets.

The word 'read' was written on the progress report of the Rocket Lab Sky Eye program, and the next report was a design report on the new generation of fighters, mainly based on the 2,000-horsepower airframe design - although the engine did not come out, the design was advanced. The report was so thick, and Yang Rui knew so little about the fighter jet, that he immediately put the brick-like report aside and then picked up the next one.

After reading the progress report of the jet engine, the last report made him a little excited. This is the Navy's 'Buddha Mat' project, which is essentially the Marine Corps' hovercraft project. This is what happened when Yang Rui was in East Africa last year when he discussed the landing operation with Zhang Kun of the Marine Corps. Hovercraft, although something that only appeared after World War II, were primarily a theoretical obstacle rather than a technical one. In the report, the project team used five aircraft liquid-cooled engines as power. Two downward blowers are responsible for the lifting of the hovercraft, and three are responsible for moving forward horizontally backwards, and the speed actually reaches 60 knots. But because the speed was too fast, the boat capsized the first time without running two miles. It's not good to be a drowning dog, but at least it proves that hovercraft is viable.

What does it mean for the Marine Corps to have a hovercraft? It means that they can land quickly at a speed of sixty or seventy knots. Make the enemy unguardable; It also means that the landing scene of the World War II blockbuster to save Ryan no longer appears, and the landing at that time was mainly because the German army set up a large number of permanent fortifications on the beach, and it was necessary to rely on flesh and blood infantry to blow up the construction and clear mines, so that materials and large combat facilities could land on the shore and then advance to the European continent.

However, with hovercraft, the steel horses on Omaha Beach can directly ignore and float by, and the mines and mines planted by the German army can also float directly through, and they can even choose places that the other side does not expect to land -- the traditional landing craft landing and the hovercraft landing have different requirements for the beach, the former not only has strict requirements for the depth of the coastal water, but also has regulations on whether the landing site is gentle and lenient, which makes the Allied landing on the European continent only two choices, either Normandy or Calais, and there is no other better choice. However, if the hovercraft landing, with air supremacy, almost no boats, the Allies sailed directly from the British Isles to the European continent without stopping.

Yang Rui thought about the benefits of the hovercraft, and then saw that it used an aircraft liquid-cooled engine, and immediately felt that its price was not too expensive, in this case, what if it was built one or two thousand, sailed at night, and landed in Hawaii or Panama at dawn?

When Yang Rui was imagining the big scene of thousands of hovercraft landing in Hawaii, Yang Wuming knocked on the door outside, "Father, urgent!" ”

"What's going on?" Yang Rui put down the 'Buddha mat' project report, opened the door and looked at his son in pajamas.

"There's a firefight in the Marshall Islands!" Yang Wuming was a little nervous, although he had heard a lot of the word Pacific War in his father's mouth, but he was still a little surprised when it really came, which was equivalent to eight or nine billion people being involved in an incomparably huge war, and the scale and battlefield area were much larger than the last European war.

"Marshall?!" Yang Rui's eyebrows twisted, he received a report from Zhang Shi a few days ago, saying that there might be abnormal movements in the process of the US Navy's search and rescue of the female flying plane Emilia, but he didn't expect this speculation to come true.

"Yes, the military planes of the two countries were fighting before nightfall, but the radio station on the island seems to have been destroyed, and the subsequent situation is unknown." Yang Wuming read the telegram, and after reading it, he directly handed the telegram to Yang Rui.

Looking at the telegram here, the dog outside barked, Yang Rui estimated that the Japanese came. Sure enough, it took less than three minutes. The porter said that there were Japanese people who asked to see him.

"Invite them in." Yang Rui was carrying the current situation in the room. The situation is obvious, and that is for China and Japan. Everything is not ready - a new generation of carrier-based aircraft powered by sixteen hundred horsepower is still being tested. This may be the initial model of the follow-up model, and in the war time is of the essence, even if there is a higher horsepower engine, it can only be changed directly on the initial body; The first generation of jet engines is still research and development, and not making second-generation engine jets is just a pie; The shipyard managers and welders who build ships in sections are still being intensively trained, and the factories related to shipbuilding equipment are still expanding; In addition, the number of naval pilots is seriously insufficient, and it takes two years to train a standard naval pilot, and at this time, China and Japan can fight less than 2,000 old pilots and more than 2,000 rookies who are being trained. Mass trainees can only be picked up after a year......

All this will take time, he thinks that the best scenario is that the war breaks out three years later, but Roosevelt obviously can't hold out at that time, because of three Navy bills and one Army bill, the US economy has deteriorated sharply, and the national debt will exceed 70 billion in three years, not to mention the government's credit, domestic inflation will also make the unemployed rebel. Another key consideration is that only four of the Montana class ships have been built due to the number of dockyards. If the four Chinese and Japanese Tianjin-class ships were launched, the US Navy would be at a disadvantage on the 60,000-ton battleships, so it would be their best choice to do it before the four Tianjin-class ships were launched.

Yang Rui thought about these things. The Japanese specially arranged for Admiral Nagano to cultivate himself in Tonghua and was led in by Yang Wuming. Judging from the arrangement of King Fushimi Hiroko, the next head of the Navy Military Command Department is this person. Although he was born as an admiral, he was eloquent. Otherwise, it would not have been the plenipotentiary for the naval negotiations in London last year.

"Disturb in the middle of the night, please atone for your sins!" After Nagano cultivated a deep bow. Say kind words.

"Please be seated." Yang Rui was also polite to him, and he didn't put on a score. He was handed a cigarette. "How's it going?"

Because they were worried that the Japanese would provoke a war, Zhang Shi's information was not disclosed to the Japanese in advance, and with their intelligence efficiency at Pearl Harbor, they obviously did not expect that a large-scale humanitarian rescue would turn into a firefight.

"Your Excellency," Nagano said with a cigarette in his hand, but he didn't light it, and he said with hatred on his face: "Six hours ago, a Carolina seaplane of the United States Navy flew over the Eniwetok Atoll, and was spotted by our patrol plane, and after the warning, it continued to fly eastward, and our pilots sank it......"

"Sunk the right!" Yang Rui also knows the situation of the Marshall Islands, even without a map, he can know that the Eniwetok Atoll is in the northwest corner of the archipelago, and its direct east direction is the Bikini Atoll where the Americans have conducted a nuclear test, and further east is the Langlapu Atoll, and directly below the Langlapu Atoll is the Kwajalein Atoll in the center of the entire archipelago, and this atoll is called the Sunset Islands because it is west of 170 degrees east longitude, and there is a large string of atolls from north to south east of 170 degrees, which is called the Sunrise Islands.

Seeing Yang Rui's approval of his behavior so much, Yongye Xiu was very grateful, and he was worried that Yang Rui would be the same as the Chinese cabinet, a timid and fearful person, if that was the case, then Japan would be finished. In Yang Rui's view, although he really wants to calculate Little Japan once, let him single out the United States for a while. However, considering that the United States is a giant adversary, China and Japan must not use the tactics of licking oil, and must unite from the beginning and do their best to defeat it, so as to bring the war into the rhythm set by their own side, and use technological and tactical upgrades to continuously gain advantages, and finally drive the United States out of Asia and gain strategic depth. In order to achieve this, everything is worth enduring.

"Your Excellency, after China sank the plane of the United States, the Navy of the United States explicitly requested to go to the island for inspection, and then sent carrier-based aircraft to invade the airspace over the islands. At this time, our army did not have many planes in the Marshall Islands, and after the battle a few hours before dark, all our planes had been killed. It is estimated that the US Army has also landed on some islands in the Marshall at this time...... "Nagano Xiushen said extremely sad and indignant, and the cigarette in his hands kept trembling.

As he spoke, Yang Rui subconsciously glanced at the calendar in the living room, and suddenly his whole body was stunned. On the special official calendar, the fifth month of the lunar calendar is at the top, and the twenty-ninth day is in the middle, but on the right side is the Jesus calendar - July 7, 1937. Yang Rui was stunned and then took a closer look and found that it was really written on this day. He was like this, and Yang Wuming thought that his father had found something, but when he looked over, he found nothing.

"Your mother! Little Japan also has today. Yang Rui completely forgot what Yongye Xiu was talking about, his whole body was in a kind of excitement and heat, he extinguished the half-smoked cigarette, took out a new one, and then extinguished it, and smoked another one.

Yang Rui's performance immediately surprised the complaining Nagano Xiu, but after a while, he made up for it - the Duke was excited about the Japanese pilots who sacrificed the jade shatter. In fact, Yang Rui just felt that God was really amazing, on this day in later generations, the Japanese asked to enter Wanping City to search under the pretext of missing a soldier, and at this time they became the defenders of North China, and the United States became Japan - the U.S. Navy asked to enter the Marshall Islands to search for Emilia under the pretext of rescuing Amelia. It's really the reincarnation of the world, and the retribution is unpleasant.

"Ahh Yang Rui couldn't help but shout and scolded: "****! Only then did he calm down, "I'm sorry, I'm so excited!" ”

Yang Rui is like this, and the Japanese who will be mistaken bow again and again. "Your Excellency doesn't have to care, you don't have to care."

"Let's go on." Yang Rui was so excited that he didn't listen to anything, so he had to round the words back. "The United States is so provocative, what should you do?"

"Our country is ready to ...... Prepare to declare war on the United States! If they occupy the Marshall Islands. "Before Nagano Shusei came, I read a telegram in the country, and at the Emperor's Imperial Council, although the civilian officials asked for international mediation, the military department demanded a declaration of war.

"What a declaration of war or not, the war has begun!" Yang Rui took a hard puff of his cigarette, and his current resentment fell on the Yankees. The first large-scale aggression of this ostensibly just but in fact aggressive country was the Civil War, and then the Spanish-American War. The former is a war for raw materials and markets in the South after the North is fully loaded, and the latter is a war for the raw materials and markets of Asia after the entire United States is fully loaded.

The outbreak of World War I had nothing to do with the United States, but World War II caused American capital to jump out of the full load of the American market and encroach on the world. From then on, the world was a colony, and the collapse of the Soviet Union made him completely enslave the whole world. But nowadays, this history can be changed. Every nation can have its own way of living, every culture has its own space to survive, and they don't have to gradually dissolve and die out under globalization, and then all countries become vassals of the United States, and all people become extraterritorial subjects of the United States.
