A ten-ton bomb is not too big, and it can be made even bigger. The key is that it cannot be thrown after it is made. The size of the bomb depends on the performance of the bomber.
This restriction does not exist on rockets. In another time and space, the V2 rocket developed by the Germans in 1945 had a range of 300 kilometers with a charge of 1,000 kilograms. The technology in southern Africa is better, and the weight of the warhead can theoretically be unlimited.
.
Of course, there is also a cost issue here. Don’t forget that this is 1942. The guidance technology is not mature enough and the accuracy of the rocket cannot be guaranteed. In another time and space, the Germans manufactured 15,000 V1 rockets and 3,000 V2 rockets, but the results were not good.
good.
When the Germans developed rockets, the war was about to end, and the German rocket technology was eventually divided between the United States and Russia.
Russia obtained rocket technology, and the Americans brought a research and development team headed by von Braun to the United States. Von Braun was a very powerful person, the United States' first artificial satellite and first manned spacecraft, and
Von Braun made outstanding contributions to the birth of the space shuttle.
Roque does not expect to apply rockets to the battlefield now. He is more preparing for future technological competition. Southern Africa now has an increasing technological advantage. Last year, the University of Nyasaland successfully developed transistors, paving the way for the emergence of integrated circuits.
Paving the way, in another time and space, John von Neumann, known as the "Father of Computers", also worked at Nyasaland University. He and von Braun were both Germans, which shows that Germany's talents are
How strong is the reserve?
The United States in another time and space began to take off in science and technology only after receiving a large number of German scientific and technological talents after the war.
In this time and space, the United States is far less attractive to Germans than southern Africa, and more Germans choose to immigrate to southern Africa...
While southern Africa continues to expand its technological advantages, the battle on the Malay Peninsula has come to an end.
On March 25, the last unit of the Third Guards Infantry Regiment surrendered. So far, the Guards Division and the Fifth Division had been wiped out. Parcival finally gathered 1,000 Japanese prisoners of war and prepared to organize a massive attack.
Surrender ceremony.
It was not easy to gather these 1,000 prisoners of war. As we all know, if the Japanese army surrendered to the Southern African army, they would not survive, and they would not be able to be encountered by the Southern African army while escorting the prisoners. On March 20, a company of the Indian 11th Division escorted 150 prisoners of war.
A Japanese prisoner of war went to Lion City and encountered an East India transport unit on the way. Then all 150 prisoners of war died, and no one survived.
This had nothing to do with the Southern African Army, but Percival went to Angel again and asked Angel to restrain his Southern African Army and East Indian Army from massacring Japanese prisoners of war who had laid down their weapons.
This time there was no need for Angel to take action. General John Bradley from the U.S. Army was furious and sprayed Percival bloody.
"The Japanese did not deserve to be treated as prisoners of war at all. The 80,000 U.S.-Philippine coalition troops who stopped resisting on the Bataan Peninsula were massacred by the Japanese on their way to the prisoner of war camps. 15,000 people were massacred by the Japanese. They also shamelessly attacked Pearl Harbor and suffered huge losses to the Pacific Fleet.
, think about your Z fleet, are you so keen on holding a surrender ceremony? After the surrender ceremony, do you still have to feed those damn Japanese? Is the material that the United States supports to the United Kingdom used by you to do this?
"John Bradley was firing on all cylinders, while Percival had no personal pain and no sympathy for the atrocities committed by the Japanese army.
It cannot be said that there was no personal pain. The destruction of Fleet Z must have left a deep impression on Percival. If the Southern African army had not stepped in to turn the tide, the British and Indian troops led by Percival would have surrendered to the Japanese army.
On February 15th in another time and space, Parcival led 80,000 British and Indian troops surrounded by the Japanese to surrender to the Japanese. The Japanese suffered less than a thousand casualties during the entire Malay Campaign.
The surrender process was full of humiliation for Percival. On February 15, the British army raised a white flag on the radio station and notified Yamashita Fengwen at 2 p.m.
Yamashita Fengwen insisted on seeing Parcival himself.
Parcival left the city accompanied by two staff officers, one holding a white flag.
Yamashita asked Parcival to surrender unconditionally.
Percival hoped to reply to Yamashita's message the next day, as if this would save him some face.
Yamashita Fengwen couldn't wait and asked Percival to give an answer immediately.
Percival looked pale when he said "surrender".
"We currently have no evidence that the 80,000 US-Philippine coalition troops who surrendered on the Bataan Peninsula were mistreated by the Japanese army," Percival argued forcefully. Angel, who was snickering next to her, noticed that Percival used "surrender".
Deli uses "stop resisting".
The two words have similar meanings, "stop resisting" is more euphemistic, and "surrender" has a sarcastic meaning.
"If the butcher's knife doesn't hit you, you won't feel the pain. No matter what you think, I will kill every Japanese I see." John Bradley didn't talk nonsense. Even if a surrender ceremony was held, it would have a huge impact on improving people's morale.
effect.
You can save money by keeping prisoners as coolies.
Angel and John Bradley are not ignorant of this, but the wealthy Southern Africa and the United States don't care. A hundred hard-working prisoner of war porters are not as efficient as one truck.
What's more, there is no shortage of porters in the Lion City and Changi Naval Base.
Just last week, Wavell sent two more Indian divisions to defraud equipment.
This time An Qi was not fooled. Not only did she not arrange combat missions for these two divisions, she also left the two Indian divisions in the Lion City as porters and responsible for logistics.
If there are no combat missions arranged, there will naturally be no need for equipment.
What An Qi didn't expect was that the Indians were not even qualified to be porters. Boxes weighing less than ten kilograms had to be moved fifty meters, and a hundred Indians had to be arranged to pass them hand-to-hand. Many Indian soldiers were still not satisfied.
.
This is the strangest thing about Indians. What they are dissatisfied about is not working as porters, but that the working hours are too long, more than eight hours a day.
"Very good, then I can hold the surrender ceremony in Kuala Lumpur. That's okay, right?" Percival was also very angry, thinking that he had not been respected.
The Malay Peninsula is still a British colony in name only. Percival, the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in the Malay Peninsula, is currently the top person in charge of the British in the Malay Peninsula. In theory, the Southern African army must obey Parcival when fighting in the Malay Peninsula.
Sibal's order to cooperate with the British and Indian troops in fighting.
There is no problem with cooperation, but it is not the southern African army cooperating with the British and Indian troops, but the other way around.
As for obeying Percival's command, it was a joke. Percival himself did not dare to make such a request.
"The battle in Kuala Lumpur is not over yet. There are still remaining Japanese troops in the city." Angel also did not give Percival a chance. What a joke. Kuala Lumpur was recovered from the Indian Ocean Theater and would not be easily returned to the British.
To hold a surrender ceremony in Kuala Lumpur, the defense of Kuala Lumpur must be handed over to the British and Indian troops.
In this way, let alone An Qi, London is probably not at ease. After all, the combat effectiveness of the British and Indian troops is obvious to all. Once the war goes unfavorably and the Japanese return to Kuala Lumpur, I am afraid that the scene in which the British and Indian troops easily abandoned Kuala Lumpur in the previous stage of the battle will happen again.
.
So it is better to wait until the war is over before handing over the jurisdiction of Kuala Lumpur.
No one can tell that British colonial rule in the Malay Peninsula was achieved through the Malay Federation and the Malay States. Both institutions are now completely paralyzed, and reconstruction work is far away.
The brutality of the Japanese was fully demonstrated in the battle on the Malay Peninsula. They killed one wave when they attacked and another wave when they retreated. Most of the Malay Peninsula has become a no-man's land. There is no point in rebuilding the colonial government because there are no people.
Can be reproduced.
"Well, no matter what you say, at least the Lion City is still the territory of the British Empire, and I have full authority to organize the surrender ceremony in the Lion City." Percival is not a clay figure. The final ownership of Kuala Lumpur has nothing to do with Percival. He will wait for the end of the war.
I will definitely leave the Malay Peninsula in the end, and I don’t want to stay here for a minute.
Looking at Percival's angry back, neither Angel nor John Bradley paid attention.
Bradley is the U.S. liaison stationed in the Indian Ocean theater, the kind of person who is qualified to have direct contact with the White House.
The process of the Death March on the Bataan Peninsula continued to appear in the media through various channels. Americans collectively went berserk and demanded the U.S. government to give the Japanese government the most brutal revenge.
Yes, the word "cruel" appears directly in the newspaper, which is unusual.
The problem is that the United States does not have the ability to retaliate against the Japanese immediately. Even if it bombs Tokyo, it still needs to use airports in southern Africa.
If the American B29 takes off from Guam, it can also reach the Japanese mainland.
Guam in this time and space has not yet been occupied by the Japanese army. Guam also has an airport, but it is relatively small and cannot take off and land B29.
The U.S. government has passed a resolution to focus on Europe first and then Asia. After the war in Europe is resolved, it will shift its focus to Asia. If it wants to retaliate immediately against the Japanese, it must rely on southern Africa.
Therefore, the U.S. government has not expanded the airport in Guam. It is probably because it is worried that it will not be able to hold on if it is expanded. By borrowing the airport in Southern Africa, it will at least have the protection of the Southern African Army.
John Bradley hoped that Angel would send troops to land in the Philippines as quickly as possible to regain the lost ground and rescue the 80,000 captured U.S.-Philippine coalition troops.
Oh, there are no more 80,000, not even 65,000.
After arriving at the prisoner of war camp, another 26,000 people died within two months of the U.S.-Philippine coalition forces that surrendered in another time and space.
"Our air force is bombing Japanese troops stationed in the Philippines in preparation for landing operations, but we now encounter a serious problem. The Filipinos do not seem to object to Japan's invasion. If we land for operations, we may be attacked by the Filipinos
"An Qi really can't understand that the United States has colonized the Philippines for decades, but it seems to have achieved no results at all, and it is actually not as popular as the Japanese.
"Then kill all those who resist and treat us as if we are fighting in an enemy country." John Bradley had a decisive attitude. The population of the United States was twice that of the United Kingdom. Unlike the United Kingdom, colonization required the cooperation of local indigenous people.
If you look at the expansion of the United States in the Americas, you will know that after the United States obtains a new land, its normal practice is to kill all the local indigenous people. The Indians are a terrible background.
"Well, as long as our troops are ready, we will land in the Philippines immediately to fight." An Qi could not find a reason to refuse. The Americans did not want to regain lost territory, but purely for revenge.
However, before landing in the Philippines, Angel still has one problem to solve, and that is the Japanese combined fleet approaching the Mariana Islands.
The bombing of Tokyo allowed the Japanese to fully understand the performance of the "Super Flying Fortress". The Japanese government would not sit still and wait for death. The combat target of the combined fleet was transferred from Changi Naval Base to the Mariana Islands. The combat goal was to completely destroy the Mariana Islands.
Field airfield.
Isoroku Yamamoto faced reality. With the strong defense of the Southern African Army, the poorly equipped Japanese Army was unlikely to occupy the Mariana Islands. The goal of destroying the airport was more realistic, and the main guns of the Combined Fleet battleships could also be used.
Of course, it is not easy to achieve this goal.
There are a total of 16 volcanic islands in the Mariana Islands, stretching for more than 600 kilometers, with a total area of 734 kilometers. The airport built in southern Africa is on the charming Saipan Island. This island is also the only island in the Mariana Islands with permanent residents.
The Combined Fleet is powerful, and the Indian Ocean theater must go all out to deal with it. Angie cannot send all the aircraft carriers to the Mariana Islands, otherwise it will be troublesome if the Combined Fleet turns around and attacks Changi Naval Base.
At this time, the value of the Americans' "far-sightedness" showed. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the three aircraft carriers belonging to the U.S. Pacific Fleet were not in the port. Now these three aircraft carriers are heading towards Guam. This is a big problem for the Pacific Fleet.
It's also an adventure.
Although aircraft carriers have shown their value, the United States, considering the defensive capabilities of aircraft carriers, is still worried that aircraft carriers may suffer a devastating blow if they go into battle without the protection of battleships.
An Qi is not worried about this problem. There are only two battleships in the Indian Ocean theater, both of which are more than 20 years old. Although they have been upgraded many times, their current displacement does not exceed 30,000 tons, which is much worse than the Japanese battleships.
Angel did not expect to rely on battleships to fight against the combined fleet, and handed over the task of attacking battleships to aircraft carriers. This time, three "Island" class aircraft carriers and two "City" class aircraft carriers under the Indian Ocean theater were all dispatched. The defense of Changi Naval Base
Leave it to the Army Aviation Force and a secondary aircraft carrier converted from a comprehensive supply ship.
Taking into account the performance of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft, the Southern African Army expanded the defense circle to 1,000 kilometers, which is far beyond the combat radius of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft, but within the combat radius of the "Cheetah". As long as the Japanese combined fleet enters the 1,000-kilometer range
, then it will be attacked by the Indian Ocean Fleet and the US Pacific Fleet.
The top commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet is Tang Li, the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, and the top commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet is William Frederick Halsey Jr., who previously served as the commander of the Pacific Fleet aircraft carrier task force. For you
