    The waves rolled, the whistle blew, and a wide cargo ship slowly sailed into the port of Saint-Domingue on the island of Haiti.  ¨RWhat made the auxiliary soldiers who were loading supplies on the dock somewhat suspicious was that there were a large number of giant long iron boxes more than ten meters long stacked on the deck of the cargo ship, occupying the entire deck; while at the dock, the gantry crane  Next to them, heavy-duty trucks manufactured by Rheinmetall were also arriving one after another amidst the roar of diesel engines. Their wide and huge bodies were far inferior to even the Tiger tanks that the German Army was proud of.  When those obviously extremely heavy iron boxes were slowly hoisted into the rear cargo box of the truck, the ground staff quickly fixed them firmly with ropes and watched the truck roar away amid a puff of blue smoke.  As Germany's most important port base on the island of Haiti, Saint-Domingue has 4 to 6 merchant ships entering the port to unload cargo every day, and there are a lot of various types of materials being loaded and unloaded; although everyone on the dock is concerned about the appearance of these giant iron boxes.  Quite surprised, but after a brief period of attention and speculation, no one took it to heart anymore.  Normal order was quickly restored in the port, with fuel, food and other materials being unloaded in an orderly manner; and the fleet of more than a hundred heavy-duty trucks was already heading west quickly along the flat road in the southern part of the island.  Galloping, their ultimate goal is a newly built base near Port-au-Prince.  Although the terrain of Haiti Island is dominated by mountains, the southern coastal part is a rare flat land. The convoy drove very smoothly on the road that had been cleared of landmines, and arrived in less than six hours.  destination.  Log cabins for living and living have been set up in the desolate wilderness, and there is even a tennis court for leisure exercise next to it.  And the most eye-catching.  It¡¯s still the group of steel structures standing proudly in the open space.  They are set up every 100 meters.  Its height is undoubtedly more than ten meters, and there is a medium-sized pool below it, which reflects colorful luster under the sunlight.  "Okay everyone, you can leave here now to carry out normal transportation operations. However, I hope you will not reveal the specific content of today's mission to anyone, otherwise the Gestapo's interrogation room will welcome you in at any time!"  After the giant iron box loaded on the truck was unloaded, a tall officer wearing a lieutenant colonel's shoulder straps immediately threatened a group of drivers who were resting in the open space.  Facing each other's straight military uniforms and stern expressions, these truck drivers all nodded.  And they made various firm vows to keep everything secret.  Although Germany is currently in a relatively enlightened state under the rule of the Qing British, the national secret police established to suppress hostile and sabotage activities in Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, the three Baltic countries, France and other occupied areas is actually a  A massive force.  In the previous 25 years, countless nationalists, passive resistance elements, and guerrilla saboteurs in the occupied areas of Eastern Europe were permanently imprisoned or even shot. It was precisely because of the Gestapo's harsh methods in suppressing opposition forces that these areas were  To be able to be in an orderly social state from beginning to end.  With the outbreak and continuation of the war, the state secret police added another counter-intelligence mission, which undoubtedly expanded the size of its organization to an astonishing degree compared to peacetime.  Once these people come to their door, what awaits them next is endless detention and interrogation, and even physical torture and being thrown into factories and mines to work as free coolies.  in this case.  No one among the ordinary people wants to have anything to do with this organization: let those damn spies go to hell, we just want to live our lives!  Seeing how knowledgeable these drivers are.  The lieutenant colonel officer had no intention of embarrassing them too much. After a while, they disappeared around the corner of the road together with the truck.  It was only then that the mystery of the objects contained in those iron boxes was truly revealed.  When the German soldiers pulled out the bolts on the surface of the iron box, what came into view were surprisingly large rockets. Although this kind of weapon has been widely used in the army and air force, such a huge one is completely  This is the only time they have ever met!  Under the somewhat annoyed urging of the lieutenant colonel, the German soldiers quickly erected these big guys using cranes and other lifting equipment, and assembled them on the steel structures.  At this time, the German soldiers were able to see the full appearance of these giant rockets.  The smooth and streamlined sharp arrow head, the thick and powerful rounded waist, the elegant tail fin that shines with a cold luster, and the black hole of high-temperature gas jets all of these make those who see it seem to be confused.  The unreal feeling of time and space, it seems that this timeline is not in the early spring of 1938 at all, but another war that broke out 20 years later!  In order to prevent US military reconnaissance planes from breaking through their own air defense interception network and discovering abnormalities here, German soldiers used vegetation and leaves to camouflage these towering missiles accordingly.  With the help of missile launch steel platformFor the support of Konoha, these missiles look like towering trees when viewed from the air.  After doing this, the mechanics who arrived first still couldn't get any rest. They had to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the engines and guidance equipment of more than 240 missiles on the launcher to ensure that these missiles  After a transportation of up to 4,500 nautical miles, there will be no serious accidents during launch.  After nightfall, they were still carrying out careful and complicated work with the help of searchlights. There were less than 9 hours before the missile was launched, and they had to complete all inspection tasks before then.  The Caribbean jungle has given birth to a large number of various insects that Germans have never heard of. Attracted by the light of searchlights, they are naturally phototactic and fly to the light source area in groups.  However, the German soldiers who have been on the island for three months have also accumulated certain experience. They use masks and special plant leaves with a pungent smell to drive away these little guys.  In addition to the US military, jungle diseases spread by these insects are also one of the most troublesome enemies faced by the German army on the Caribbean islands.  However, due to the smooth flow of Atlantic shipping, various drugs were also transported to the war front, which suppressed the onset of these diseases to a large extent; and for severely ill patients, the German Navy could also transport them to South America and even Germany for treatment.  Medical treatment, which to a large extent reduced the non-combat attrition caused by the acclimatization of the German army.  At about 4 o'clock in the morning, the inspection of the last missile was finally completed.  The mechanics who were about to fall down from exhaustion did not go back to the barracks to sleep for two days and three nights, but just chose to take a simple nap. There was no other reason. The historic moment when 248 missiles were launched into the air in a short period of time was not.  Anyone willing to miss it.  The Army lieutenant colonel in charge of this launch site had already received a call from Kesselring himself, asking him to launch a comprehensive attack on the US military's San Diego Airport 416 kilometers away at 6:15 that day. At this time, the firing of those missiles  All parameters have been adjusted.  As time went by, the thick black and blue in the sky gradually faded away, replaced by the faint light green in the east, and then glowed with light yellow, orange and red colors. Seeing that the time had come, the lieutenant colonel of the Army did not hesitate anymore, and immediately  The order was given to start shooting!  "Hoo!" Along with the violent reaction of ethanol and liquid oxygen in the afterburner chamber, the 15-meter-long missile tail suddenly spurted out a red-orange flame like a cloud of steaming clouds. The surging gas light was like a big wave, rushing towards  It spreads all around.  At this time, the pool at the bottom of the launcher plays an irreplaceable role. The rapidly transpiration of water vapor absorbs a large amount of the heat contained in the high-temperature tail flame, thereby controlling the range it affects during launch to a lower level.  extent.  Amidst the roar of jets like a mountain roar and a tsunami, the missile weighing more than 14 tons actually flew off the launcher on its own, dragging a blazing and bright tail flame like a comet, and rushed straight up at an increasingly faster speed.  The vast and untouchable sky!  Groups of flames surging and dancing from the tail of the missile, like lightning roaring and dragons and snakes soaring into the sky; the majesty of the sound and the grandeur of the scene can be said to be frightening.  Everyone, including the lieutenant colonel who learned some details, was deeply shocked by the grand scene of hundreds of giant missiles taking off in succession.  The soldiers stood there dumbfounded, completely immersed in the visual impact that transcended the times, and completely forgot to cheer and cheer; the missile mechanics clenched their fists, and their tired, bloodshot eyes were full of flashes of joy.  teardrop.  Many of them have been engaged in this industry more than ten years ago and are very familiar with the development process of pusher rockets; and now, all their efforts in the past have been rewarded.  return!  What these mechanics didn¡¯t know was that due to inevitable errors in individual manufacturing, 23 of these missiles crashed shortly after liftoff, and the debris fell into the rolling Caribbean Sea.  However, the other 225 missiles successfully entered the predetermined orbit, and not long after, they had risen to a terrifying altitude of more than 130 kilometers above the ground.  At this altitude, the atmosphere has become extremely thin, and the missile's flight resistance is significantly reduced compared to near the ground. This is also an important reason for its ultra-long range.  When all the fuel is consumed, the precision inertial gyro stabilizer located at the front of the missile comes into play to guide the missile to fall downwards following the established trajectory.  Although the V3 missile had lost its thrust at this time, under the influence of gravity, it quickly reached more than five times the speed of sound of 1.8km per second; penetrating through the heavy morning clouds and mist, underneath it was the U.S. military  At the heart of Cuba!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! ps: Thanks to book friends Angel Ai Ran He and Xiao Gang 38 for their monthly ticket support, and Golden Crab, hugetiger, zhouyu1976, and Yuan yh1234567 for their rewards~~~
