The world seems to be controlled by an invisible hand, and every country is clearly arranged.
Before World War I, the top of the food chain was undoubtedly Britain. Colonies all over the world provided Britain with fresh blood, whether it was raw materials for industrial production or human resources. France, which also had huge colonies, was worse than Britain.
In this colonial system, other countries could never get ahead. After World War I, the United States tried to break all this, but was thwarted by Britain and France. The United States was so angry that it did not even join the League of Nations.
Power is now gradually shifting from Britain to southern Africa.
In terms of human resources that the UK values most, Southern Africa is already as good as the UK.
Southern Africa has greater advantages in industrial raw materials. The iron ore in Australia and Brazil are firmly controlled by Southern African companies. The oil fields along the Persian Gulf have been monopolized by Southern Africa. Every major event that has happened in the world in the past 40 years has been related to Southern Africa.
Regarding Africa, East India, Madagascar, Brazil, etc., small changes are not enough to change the balance of power between southern Africa and the United Kingdom. After the quantitative change caused a qualitative change, the United Kingdom was no longer able to suppress southern Africa.
North Africa is the best proof of this.
In order to curb the expansion of southern Africa, Britain once preferred to face the attack of Rommel's North African Army alone and resolutely refused to seek help from the ground troops in southern Africa.
Rommel invaded Egypt last winter and the Suez Canal was in danger.
At the same time, the British Mediterranean Fleet was attacked by the Italian Navy's frogmen and its strength was greatly damaged. Auchinleck threatened to resign, and London finally agreed to the intervention of the southern African army.
This is of course also conditional.
Don't forget that Big Beard is urging the Allies to open a second battlefield every day.
However, the strength of the German army still exists. If the Allies open a second battlefield, maybe the mustaches and the big beards will shake hands and make peace, and then all the pressure will shift to southern Africa.
Don't think that this possibility is impossible. Things are so weird nowadays and anything can happen. After the First World War in Nomonkan, Japan and Russia signed the "Mutual Non-Aggression Pact", and the two countries were in a state of peace. After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States hoped
Using Vladivostok Airport to bomb Japan, Big Beard refused without hesitation.
When the United States sent B25s to bomb Tokyo, a US bomber made an emergency landing in Vladivostok because it ran out of fuel.
In order not to cause diplomatic trouble, Russia detained the plane and the five crew members. The detained crew members have not yet returned to the United States.
When Southern Africa decided to bomb the Japanese mainland, it also considered Vladivostok, but was ultimately rejected by Big Beard.
It is only 1,000 kilometers from Vladivostok to Tokyo. Various bombers from southern Africa take off from Vladivostok and can easily cover the entire territory of Japan.
If you take off from the Mariana Islands, only the "Super Sky Fortress" can perform the mission, and the difficulty increases exponentially.
Unfortunately, the Russians disagreed, so Southern Africa could only build an airport in the Mariana Islands.
Fortunately, the United States has now joined in. The two countries with the most powerful industrial capabilities in the world have joined forces. The Japanese will be in trouble.
After bombing Tokyo, the Second Air Force organized another bombing of Osaka, this time also dispatching 24 "Super Flying Fortresses".
The last time they bombed Tokyo, the Japanese were unprepared, so they succeeded easily.
This time the Japanese were prepared. Four "Super Flying Fortresses" were shot down by the Japanese army. The remaining bombers were forced to abandon their bombs and return before they reached Osaka. The mission was a complete failure.
The Second Air Force later reviewed and believed that it was unwise to carpet bomb the Japanese mainland when Japan had air defense capabilities. The Second Air Force decided to temporarily stop until it had the ability to dispatch hundreds of bombers at once.
Bombing of the Japanese mainland.
Compared with the bombing of Japan, the Mariana Islands faced another major crisis.
Japan will not sit still and wait for death. After retreating from Manila, the main force of the combined fleet is advancing towards the Mariana Islands. This time it will definitely not end in an anticlimactic manner. A war is imminent.
Just as the Second Air Force's attack was frustrated, the team led by Robert Goddard once again surprised Rock.
As early as ten years ago, Robert Goddard's team had developed a rocket with a speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour and a range of more than 50 kilometers.
Ten years have passed, and Robert Goddard's team has made significant progress. Just two months ago, Goddard's team successfully sent a rocket into space.
After Roque learned the news, his first reaction was to use the rocket for military purposes.
"Professor Goddard is reluctant. His goal is interstellar colonization and he does not want to use rocket technology for military purposes." Stoudemire is also one of the sponsors of Goddard's team. His dream is to take a rocket to the moon to find Chang'e.
This is obviously inspired by myths and Robert Goddard. Sending man-made spacecraft into space is only the first step, and it is still early to send humans into space.
As for interstellar colonization, Rock has no expectations at all. This is the same as the long-range intelligent unmanned vertical take-off and landing bomber project that Nikola Tesla used to defraud funds, and it will not be seen in his lifetime.
Unmanned bombers are out of reach, and interstellar colonization is unrealistic, but combining the two technologies will be of great military value.
This is also the original intention of Rock's continuous investment in these two projects.
"Tell Professor Goddard that if he wants to get funding for further research, then he will cooperate honestly with the military and continue to improve his rocket." Rock instantly transformed into a ruthless capitalist. Scientists have to dream, and Rock also has a responsibility.
.
What Rock wanted was not primitive missiles like Germany's.
About the same time that Robert Goddard's team began to study rockets, the team led by Werner von Braun in Germany was also conducting related research.
Another Time and Space Von Braun is recognized as the father of rockets. In fact, there were many scientists who started related research at the same time.
The father of rockets in this time and space must be Robert Goddard. Now that Robert Goddard has sent the rocket into space, von Braun is still studying how to make the rocket fly across the English Channel.
"This may dampen Professor Goddard's enthusiasm -" Xiao Si slightly struggled, and his dream still had to be realized by Robert Goddard.
"Then don't tell him the real purpose. I remember Robert said that rockets can be used in the field of transportation. Yes, we are going to do that now." Rock has no psychological barriers to squeezing Robert Goddard. After all,
It was Robert Goddard who defrauded the funds first.
I think that when Robert Goddard was looking for funding, he could even explain the reason for long-distance transportation.
This is for the sake of funding without any bottom line.
"Okay, I'll tell him that." Stoudemire laughed, and he seemed to have seen Robert Goddard's expression after hearing this reason.
Robert Goddard is not stupid either. He is a conscientious scientist and does not want to use his research results to kill humans.
However, people cannot help themselves in the world. Just like Maxim studied machine guns in order to reduce the casualties of soldiers, Robert Goddard was not pedantic, so his opposition was not strong.
"Do you agree?" Xiao Si was disappointed, he didn't see the expression he wanted.
"Yes, I agree to provide relevant technologies to the military. This is also part of our original agreement." Robert Goddard is 60 years old this year. He is a tenured professor at the University of Nyasaland and leads his own scientific research team.
, has already become famous.
"The military wants to use your rocket technology to kill people." Stoudemire was dissatisfied with Robert Goddard's attitude, which was completely different from before.
The military has been paying attention to Robert Goddard's research. After Robert Goddard sent the rocket into space two months ago, the military proposed using the rocket in the military field.
Robert Goddard refused directly, which did not give face to the Ministry of Defense, and Martin personally called Robert Goddard to no avail.
Now that Rock has spoken, Robert Goddard immediately agreed, which shows that Robert Goddard knows who has the final say in southern Africa.
"They can use my rockets for whatever they want. The original intention of developing gunpowder was to watch, and never to kill people." Robert Goddard has a deep understanding of these knowledge points promoted by the federal government of Southern Africa.
Regardless of how strong the Southern African federal government is externally, in terms of internal propaganda, the Southern African federal government insists on creating an image of peace and justice. The effect of the propaganda machine being fully activated is terrifying. In particular, the contribution of the Chinese to the progress of human civilization has long been established in Southern Africa.
Everyone knows it.
In another time and space, demons are dancing wildly. Even the four great inventions are questioned by some. The contribution of the Chinese to the progress of human civilization is simply insignificant.
This time and space is different. The propaganda machine is controlled by the federal government of Southern Africa. The federal government of Southern Africa does not make up or even exaggerate. It just tells the true history. European countries emphasize the "civilization" of more than a hundred years.
Society" collapsed.
In the propaganda of European countries, especially the United Kingdom and France, the progress of human civilization is driven by European countries alone, and people outside Europe have no contribution.
After southern Africa joined, people were surprised to find that while the British were still playing in the mud in the British Isles, brilliant civilizations had already appeared in the far East. During the thousands of years of history, compared with the countries established by the Chinese, Europe has always been
shrouded in darkness.
It is difficult for many people to accept this fact, but when more and more southern Africans begin to fall in love with "when will the bright moon come out", the cultural integration really begins.
In terms of assimilation ability, the Anglo-Saxons are far behind the Chinese.
The British colonized India for hundreds of years, but the Indians never truly surrendered.
Change it to a Chinese——
Impossible. The Chinese have never expanded externally. The territory of the country established by the Chinese has been expanding. That is because people in neighboring countries yearn for Chinese civilization and therefore take the initiative to integrate into this big family.
The same goes for southern Africa.
Although the Southern African Union has been expanding, the federal government of Southern Africa has never taken the initiative to invade foreign countries. Neighboring countries have actively attached themselves to it. Southern Africa is still picky.
With Robert Goddard's approval, the application of rockets in the military field rapidly advanced.
Tesla Research Institute's long-range intelligent unmanned vertical takeoff and landing bomber technology cannot be realized in a short time, but unmanned technology has reached a new level.
Especially after the emergence of video control technology and helicopter-related technologies, theoretically speaking, this project is already possible.
Combining video control technology with rocket technology, long-range missiles are immediately on the horizon.
Robert Goddard's rocket is indeed very advanced. It can fly at a speed of 5,600 kilometers per hour and fly over a distance of more than 500 kilometers at an altitude of about 100 kilometers.
To apply rockets to the military field, the most important thing is to solve the problem of rocket accuracy.
The accuracy of German rockets relies entirely on blindness. After being launched, one rocket actually circled in the air and hit a building next to the rocket launch site.
This building was built for Mustache to visit the rocket launch.
Mustache did not go to the rocket launch site that day, thus escaping the disaster.
Rockets in southern Africa must not make such errors. How to solve the accuracy problem at a distance of hundreds of kilometers is a top priority for engineers.
After acquiring rocket technology, the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa mobilized elites from the military and scientific research units of major universities in Southern Africa to form a research team to tackle key problems. The core of the team was Xu Dehai from the Tesla Research Institute, and Kenny from the Goddard team.
·Hutterman.
Both of them are top students who graduated from Nyasaland University. Xu Dehai joined the Tesla Research Institute directly after graduating from Nyasaland University three years ago. He is a "research genius" personally recognized by Nikola Tesla.
Especially when it comes to video control.
Kenny Hurtman is a student of Robert Goddard. He immigrated to Southern Africa from France with his family ten years ago and has become a Southern African citizen.
"So, if we send a rocket 500 kilometers away, the rocket can only carry about 50 kilograms of explosives, which is as powerful as a 203mm artillery shell -" Xu Dehai was very happy after learning the specific performance of the rocket.
Disappointed, the Goddard team spent decades and countless dollars researching this?
"It's easy to increase the amount of explosives you can carry. Just make the rocket bigger. You know, the first rocket we send into space is experimental, and the weight doesn't matter." Kenny Hurtman is confident.
The first rocket built by Robert Goddard was only 3.4 meters tall and weighed less than 5 kilograms.
Now the rocket developed by Goddard's team is more than ten meters long, with a wing width of 6.5 meters and a height of 1.5 meters. It is not impossible to build a larger rocket, but it is not necessary.
With the technology of the Goddard team, it is easy for the rocket to fly more than 600 kilometers. It only needs to carry less fuel and can carry more explosives.
According to the requirements of the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa, if a rocket is to be used in the military field, it must carry at least 1,000 kilograms of explosives to be valuable.
1,000 kilograms is actually not much. Southern Africa has already manufactured large bombs weighing ten tons, and the "Super Sky Fortress" can only carry one at a time.
