Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The German Alliance suffered a complete defeat in the Transcaucasian War. Apart from pushing the German Allied military to sharpen their swords and prepare to win back face in the next Transcaucasian War, Hitler did not have the power to compete with the Chinese Empire in this regard. Therefore, Hitler turned his attention to other aspects.  The determination to compete with the Chinese Empire for hegemony has not diminished but increased.

    As early as the middle and late stages of World War II, when Nazi Germany was developing missile weapons on a large scale, the German army tried to launch a space offensive. By establishing fortresses in space, they could attack any country on the earth.

    This strategy was a very bold idea at the time and was completely feasible in theory. However, it was a pity that even if Nazi Germany was interested in developing a space fortress, it did not have the energy and funds to invest in it.  As the war situation worsened, Hitler had no choice but to abandon his space strategy.

    But the ending of World War II was the same as that of World War I, and Germany was completely preserved.  Although Germany suffered the most serious damage in World War II, with the establishment of the German League, the economy recovered year by year. In order to compete with the Chinese Empire for world hegemony, Hitler restarted the space program again.

    During the Cold War between the German Federation and the Chinese Empire.  Two major powers with opposing military and cultural systems always try to find ways to kill each other without risking any military decisive battle. The "space race" is the two superpowers' use of technology, cultural form, and political skills without the risk of military conflict.  battlefield.

    The Sino-German space war actually covers many battles from the Chinese Empire¡¯s first artificial earth satellite Zhonghua 1 in 1953 to the launch of the Starship spacecraft in the late 1990s.  During this period, the moon became the focus of the "space race" and Mars became the first stop on the interstellar journey.  The race culminated in 1965 when humans first landed on the moon.

    The space race is a plan that can only be realized by integrating top technology, space theory and sufficient funds.  This takes a long time to accumulate.  Even the Chinese Empire, which was poor and had only money left, had almost unlimited funds.  It also had to be limited by space theory and technological level, and it was not until 1953 that the first artificial earth satellite was launched.

    ??And Delian, which is extremely short of funds and relatively backward in hardware technology, really has to tighten its belt if it wants to compete for space hegemony.  But the German Federation has a huge advantage, that is, the scientific theories accumulated by Germany have always been in a leading position in the world, and space technology has been perfected one step ahead of the Chinese Empire.  This gave Delian an advantage in the battle for space supremacy.

    Since the beginning of World War II, the Chinese Empire and Germany have been competing.  From 1941 to 1946, the two countries competed over their respective rocket technology know-how and scientific theories for designing rockets.  Even in the early days of this space war game.  The two sides began a race to build arsenals of ballistic missiles and nuclear warheads.  From 1950 to 1955, the focus was on who would be the first country to select an ICBM capable of reaching enemy territory.  This is also a crucial step in developing launch vehicles and demonstrating aerospace status.  When orbital launches became possible, the two superpowers began to consider the role that satellites could play and began some basic research.

    Since the German Federation and the Chinese Empire were the only nuclear-armed states in the world, and both sides had established their own nuclear weapons arsenals, the Council of the International Scientific Union held a meeting in Shanghai in 1951 and proposed a plan for the International Geophysical Year (July 1, 1952).  December 31, 1953) plan to launch an artificial satellite.  Only the Chinese Empire and the German Federation accepted this challenge, which also announced the official start of the Sino-German space hegemony.

    On May 26, 1951, the National Security Bureau of the Chinese Empire approved a satellite project. On July 29, the Chinese Emperor Wang Chenhao officially issued an edict announcing the Chinese Empire¡¯s decision to launch a satellite.  At the same time, Hitler also addressed the Reichstag.  It was announced that Delian will also conduct space satellite tests in the near future.

    Since the Germans have a strong foundation in the field of space science, after the start of the German space hegemony, Lieutenant Sedov, spokesman of the German Academy of Sciences and chairman of the Interplanetary Research Committee, announced to the world: "Delian will be the first to launch  A satellite, and it must be bigger than the one of the Chinese Empire.¡±

    Since the Chinese Empire planned to launch a satellite using the Ziyao Xingjun rocket in August 1952, it was speculated that Delian would also launch the satellite in the fall of the same year.  A satellite was launched into space on Hitler's birthday.

    But later events proved that this was a planned date by both parties.  However, the launch was later postponed due to problems with the Chinese Empire's Ziyaoxing Jun-C rocket.  Delian's own hardware preparations were also insufficient, and in the winter of the same year, it also failed to achieve the expected launch target of the satellite.

    At the London Astronautical Congress in 1953, a British representative asked a representative of the Chinese Empire: "Whether the first person to enter space was a Chinese or a Delian." The representative of the Chinese Empire smiled and replied: "Neither, the first  An astronaut will be a dog, of course the dog of the Chinese Empire!"

    This news was widely publicized all over the world, but until the Chinese Empire actually conducted experiments on life in space, the first person in space was not a personA purebred Chinese dog, but a purebred Chinese rabbit.  When faced with questions from international reporters about why it was not a dog but a rabbit, the imperial spokesperson responded with a smile: "This is because of the ancient mythology of the Chinese Empire. Chang'e likes rabbits, so His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire gave her a pure rabbit.  Chinese rabbits were planted as a mark of respect.¡±

    In the first space race, on September 1, 1953, the Chinese Empire emerged as the winner of the satellite race.

    On June 29, Guanghua Fifty-three Years, the Chinese Empire won the first battle in the space race. The Chinese Imperial Military launched its first long-range intercontinental ballistic missile on the same day as the National Day of the Chinese Empire on July 1st.  Festival gift.  At 9:35 on September 1 of the same year, the Imperial Space Administration of China launched the first artificial earth satellite in human history, Zhonghua 1, from the Mariana Space Satellite Launch Center using the Ziyao Xingjun B carrier rocket.  The satellite entered a predetermined orbit 340 kilometers from the earth at 9:48.

    The instrument cabin on the China-1 satellite is equipped with power supply, radar transponder for orbit measurement, radar beacon, telemetry device, electronic music generator and transmitter, scientific test instruments, etc.  The satellite uses a silver-zinc battery as its power source, but the battery life is limited. After the satellite operates for 50 days, the battery energy is exhausted and the national anthem of the Chinese Empire stops playing, and the satellite ends its working life.  However, the orbital life of the satellite is not over. According to orbital calculations, the 210-kilogram satellite can operate in space for hundreds of years.

    The success of the Chinese Empire had great repercussions around the world, and it had an overwhelming advantage over the West both psychologically and technologically.  It gave the world, especially the German Union, a huge surprise: no one expected that the Chinese Empire could launch a satellite so quickly.

    In order to counteract the huge negative impact that the Chinese Empire's successful satellite launch had on the German Federation, an official from the German Defense Ministry even regarded the Chinese Empire's satellites as "a pile of scrap metal that anyone can launch."

    ¡°However, the idea that the Chinese Empire¡¯s successful launch of satellites represents a threat to the core interests of the League of Nations is deeply rooted in the League and the entire NATO countries.  Some people worry that a hydrogen bomb from the Chinese Empire hitting Berlin will give the Germans only 10 minutes to fight back.

    The pessimistic thoughts of the Delian people do not mean that the Chinese Empire is the master of the world, but it at least shows that the current powerful strength of the Chinese Empire is beyond the reach of the Delian people.  In the space race, the level of hardware and software are equally important. The Chinese Empire undoubtedly far surpasses Delian in terms of hardware level, but Delian is still one point ahead of the Chinese Empire in terms of technology.

    By this time the Cold War was in full swing, and the Chinese Empire had gained diplomatic advantage with the help of artificial earth satellites.  Ge Ping, the then Foreign Minister of the Chinese Empire in the German Federation, requested to meet with the German Prime Minister Albeid only an hour after the launch of the Chinese Imperial Satellite. During the three hours of the meeting, Ge Ping said to Albert in a report-like tone.  : "Mr. Prime Minister, your intelligence agencies may have reported to you that the Imperial Space Administration of China has launched its first artificial satellite this morning."

    Faced with this naked show off, German Prime Minister Albed could only smile and express congratulations, but his smile was uglier than crying.  Ge Ping's close secretary secretly took a picture of Albert's expression with a miniature camera. The next day it became the front page headline of the Imperial Times of China. The entire page contained only Albert's photo. It was really cruel.  It slapped the German Federation and NATO in the face.

    The space race between the Chinese Empire and the German Federation has now become a fact.  For the Delian people, the successful launch of Sputnik China-1 was tantamount to the Second Transcaucasian War, only this time it was a political, technical and public relations failure rather than a military failure.

    Delian¡¯s first satellite, Explorer 1, was launched on January 31, 1955. Delian won some honors for this, and Delian vowed that it would no longer lag behind in the space race.

    But Hitler did not realize that the Chinese Emperor Wang Chenhao was much more capable in this regard than they imagined. The Chinese Empire actively carried out space exploration operations, making the road to the supreme status of space become very long, and the Germans had to face  The brilliant achievements against its opponents, especially the new commander of the Imperial Space Agency of China, Qian Shenxue, officially took office in the 55th year of Guanghua, indicating that the Chinese Empire will go all out in space, not only to consolidate the Chinese Empire¡¯s position in space  The dominant position will leave Delian far behind.

    ??One thing for Delian people is certain - that is, the race continues, and the Chinese Empire is still ahead.

    Until the 70th year of Guanghua¡¯s reign, the Chinese Empire had been victorious in the battle for space hegemony.  In the 54th year of Guanghua's reign, the Imperial Space Administration of China realized that the China 2 satellite carried an animal into space for the first time (Jade Rabbit Yingying). In the same year, the first scientific satellite was launched into space. In the 55th year of Guanghua's reign, the object detached from the earth's orbit for the first time.  In the summer of 16th year, the Lunar 1 probe was launched, announcing that the Chinese Empire was exploring the moon.The distance is ahead of Delian.

    In the same year, the Chinese Empire launched its first meteorological satellite and its first reconnaissance satellite, and Delian was forced to carry out research on meteorological satellites and reconnaissance satellites.

    On March 5, the 57th year of Guanghua's reign, the Huoyao Xingjun-1 probe of the Chinese Empire was launched into space. The target will fly to Mars orbit two years later to take the first Mars image and send it back to the earth, announcing the beginning of the Chinese Empire's interstellar exploration plan.  Implementation, Delian was once again forced to join the interstellar exploration race
