Chapter 24 The Arms Race
Second update.,
—————
However, even if the German army wanted to start manufacturing, it would not be able to create it in a short time. War was like a bottomless pit. During World War II, various strategic materials were consumed extremely high, especially the consumption of various metals was even more amazing.
At the end of 1942, in order to cope with the shortage of metal, Mountbatten proposed the "Habakkuk Project" to Churchill, trying to use a mixture of 14% wood chips and 86% ice "Paclites" to build an aircraft carrier with a displacement of up to 2 million tons, but it was left unresolved. It is said that the unfinished hull took three years to melt, so the manufacturing speed of the ho229 should not be too fast.
In the movie, the large triangular plane flying by the Red Skull is actually the revised ho229. Zhang Yang is not sure where the drawings of the Red Skull came from and when they started to be made. Anyway, the Colonel Film in front of him was actually providing the design drawings of the ho229 to Baron Strack, the No. 2 character of Hydra, Baron Strack.
Colonel Film is affiliated with the Air Force and has inherent advantages close to the design of the new aircraft. Zhang Yang is not very clear about what methods it has used. But at least from the current situation, there are very few troops that have the authority to contact and have the corresponding qualifications to test and test flight of the Me262 at this moment. At least before the German government officially exposed the Me262, it was obvious that Colonel Film's position in the Air Force is not as ordinary as everyone has seen.
An ordinary airport can save me262? Can you have permission to access ho229?
ho229 is one of the means of saving lives in Nazi Germany. The confidentiality authority is extremely high, which is also the real reason why Zhang Yang is impressed by Colonel Film.
"People in this period are simply crazy than the other."
A design drawing became the stepping stone for Colonel Filming to join Hydra, Zhang Yang could almost imagine what Baron Strack's next plan was.
Dr. Zora, who is under the Red Skeleton, has created a new weapon, but has not found a suitable energy source. However, the Cosmic Cube solved this problem. If these weapons emitted blue light hit the human body, they can disappear without a trace in an instant. It can be said that they will die without a trace, and it is even more terrifying than ordinary bullets.
The Red Skull is like this. Baron Strack is naturally unwilling to be stolen by the other party. Since there is not much information about Baron Strack, according to Zhang Yang's understanding, Stokka created a weapon called the "Death Spore Bomb". Its prototype is something called the "spore virus". Strack himself also injected this virus, successfully delaying his aging.
Although he did not inject super soldier serum, Strack himself has good physical fitness. Before establishing Hydra, he was a Nazi officer, and he won the world fencing championship and engaged in spy work. It is worth mentioning that Natasha, the famous "Black Widow" in Marvel, was trained by Strack when she was young, and was later rescued by Captain America and Wolverine (the plot in the comic).
The so-called death spore bomb. Zhang Yang has never seen it, but it must not be a good thing. It can be compared with the Red Skull's Blue Light Cube weapon, and it should not be too bad.
Zhang Yang spent some time calming his mind again. When he looked at Colonel Film again, his eyes had changed. He was not only a Nazi officer, but also a bold speculator.
The information of ho229 is highly confidential. Colonel Filming was able to get it and was not discovered. It was obviously his own backing. Zhang Yang guessed whether Baron Strak was not completely trusting Colonel Filming because of this reason, so he sent himself to observe.
It’s a pity that Major Haosit died before he could succeed, and was replaced by Zhang Yang to get here by impersonation.
"Well, Colonel Filming, I hope you can get a little soon, Mr. Baron can't wait."
When he heard Zhang Yang speak, he seemed to be quite satisfied with his performance. Colonel Film's originally serious expression also eased. After glanced around, he suddenly whispered.
"Long live Hydra!"
"No, it should be Baron Strack." Zhang Yang blinked, Colonel Filming understood and then repeated.
"Long live Baron Strack!"
The two slogans seem to be similar, but the meanings are completely different. Baron himself can control Hydra, but Hydra is not only the Baron. Since Colonel Filming chose Baron Strak as the trading party, it is actually equivalent to surrendering to Baron himself. It has nothing to do with Red Skull and Baron Zemo.
Zhang Yang and Colonel Film were just talking to each other. Without the previous verbal tests, the topic of the following was much easier. Both of them ignored the rest time intentionally or unintentionally. Fortunately, Bucky and the other two were not very coquettish, so it would be fine to stand for a while.
Moreover, the reason why four people were present instead of letting them rest was also Changyang's idea.
This is not to deliberately cause trouble for the four people, but Zhang Yang is very clear about his identity at the moment. If the bearded man and others were not present, he would probably be suspicious of some people when he returned to the UK to tell the news he received. With the bearded lieutenant present, at least when he encountered such a thing, Zhang Yang had a shield.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yang asked some questions about his next task without a trace, but unfortunately he didn't get too detailed. The only gain was to learn that the Nazi Dr. Rolf was a physicist and chemist. The big box and the small suitcase that Zhang Yang escorted this time were all the things the doctor wanted to use to name.
According to the order, the physicist took off from Galin, transferred in Paris, and came here to meet him by military plane. Then the two sides would fly to a secret base in Germany, somewhere in the Hydra, which was invited by Baron Strack himself.
It is obvious that the physicist should not be an ordinary person to be invited by the Baron himself and escorted him specifically. As for why it is so confidential, Colonel Filming vaguely revealed some news.
"This doctor seems to be involved in a secret plan between the military and Hydra. It is very confidential. I don't know what it is doing. I only know that it should be the development of some super-powerful weapon. As far as I know, the Americans seem to have also found out about this news and set up a team to reconnaissance. You also know that if you accidentally encounter the Allied Flying Team, it will be over. So for the sake of confidentiality and security, the Baron will let the doctor go to the military route."
"A secret plan to develop weapons?"
Zhang Yang always felt a little uneasy when he heard this news.
Physicists, developing weapons, secrets, World War II, American team... These clues kept colliding in Zhang Yang's mind. Zhang Yang vaguely felt that he was about to touch the truth of this plan.
However, what Colonel Film mentioned just now gave Zhang Yang a big impact, so his mind was a little confused at this moment. Zhang Yang decided to calm down and think about it carefully. What exactly is it, which made him feel a little uneasy.
After figuring out his mission and the identity of the doctor, Zhang Yang asked a few questions about me262, so as to verify whether the information he had mastered was biased. The news he got made Zhang Yang feel a lot more at ease. Me262 is undergoing the final test and subtle modification to correct some problems exposed in the last battle.
According to news from Berlin, the me262 will officially appear on the battlefield in about two months, but due to the opposition of a certain marshal, Hitler took back his decision to make full efforts to build this jet to ensure that other piston aircraft with very mature technologies are produced normally.
Zhang Yang felt a little regretful. The marshal who opposed the full efforts of making me262 might have seen some problems. Me262 is not omnipotent. Compared with Hitler who is in the mood, this marshal is much calmer.
"Since the new plane is here, I believe the Allies will come to secretly investigate. What is the security of the base?"
"You can rest assured that unless the Allied bombers flew directly over the base, it would be difficult for conventional troops to attack. However, if the Allied aircraft want to come over, we will certainly not be unprepared." Colonel Filmen was obviously very confident about this.
Colonel Feilin also briefly introduced the other defenses of the base. Since this is a basin, except for a team guarding the only entrance, the others are mainly composed of the surrounding anti-aircraft machine guns. There are about fifty aircraft in the base, including twenty Ju-88 bombers, as well as fifteen each of the BF-109 and FW190 fighters.
During World War II, there were many battles between the Allied and Germans, both day and night. As the main force of the German bomber, the ju-88 has its own advantages and the American b17 "Air Fortress" bombers. Since bombers were more valued during World War II, the definition of fighter jets was mainly based on cover bombers, and it was different from today's fighter jet definitions and tactics. Therefore, the most common situation is that a large group of fighters were often surrounded by a b17 bomber team of the Allied Air Force for protection, including mosquitoes and p40s. Now the p51 "Mustang" has also begun to be installed.
In contrast, the Luftwaffe is behind a team of ju-88s, followed by a group of be109 or other fw190 models in a sturdy manner. (To be continued...)
