Chapter 1570 Thermobaric Bomb Exchange B-29
If the most feared weapon of this era is the German bomb that can destroy an entire city, it is definitely the first.
Although hundreds of bombers are required to fly over together, even incendiary bombs are not enough to blow up the entire city.
The Soviets did what they did and imitated the same bomb.
The United States is very interested in this kind of bomb, and even exposed a few spies, but found nothing. At the same time, the United States is also looking for dud bombs, but also found nothing.
The Germans are very vigilant. The factory that produces bombs is directly responsible for the Gestapo, and the bomber unit is the object of strict protection by the Germans. Even spies are used to seduce pilots.
And now, before the Soviets destroyed the country, they finally imitated this big killer!
This kind of weapon is definitely a strategic weapon. If the United States wants to have it, it will definitely not be willing to share it with other countries.
In fact, the Soviet Union is not willing, but they have no choice.
When they imitated it, the weight of this large bomb reached ten tons. Then, they searched all their planes and found that none of them could carry this kind of bomb, so they set their sights on the United States.
The Soviet Union doesn't have it, the Americans have it. The Americans' latest B-29 bomber can definitely carry such a heavy bomb, and it can also fly all the way to Berlin, because it looks like the Junkers 290 bomber is almost exactly the same. identical.
Americans need bombs, and the Soviet Union needs bombers, so the two sides simply cooperate. The Soviet Union will take out the technology of this big killer and dedicate it to the United States, so that the United States can master the manufacturing method of thermobaric bombs. At the same time, the United States will 50. B-29 bomber, sent to the Soviet Union, so that the Soviet Union can fly this bomber to bomb German cities.
This makes it difficult to choose.
For the United States, the B-29 strategic bomber is the magic weapon of the Americans. Although the United States has provided a lot of military equipment support to the Soviet Union, almost all of them are backward. For example, the aircraft only provides P-29, which is not needed in the United States. 39.
The strategic bomber is the top priority. Its long range and huge bomb load are destined to be a formidable threat. Today the Soviets can drive B-29s to bomb Germany, and the Soviets can bomb the United States tomorrow.
If Germany is defeated, the United States and the Soviet Union will definitely re-enter a state of hostility. After all, the ideology is different. As a national leader, one must have a long-term vision.
Now, provide the Soviet B-29, which before, everyone would laugh at and think beautifully! But now, the Soviets are exchanging such big bombs, which makes people spit.
"The Soviets gave us an offer that we couldn't refuse." Marshall said: "For us, if there is a thermobaric bomb, we can immediately fight back against the Germans, reaching the same level as the Germans. Strategic balance, if the Germans continue to attack our ports, we will hit back with thermobaric bombs, with the goal of destroying the German cities."
"At the same time, the Germans may respond the same, but then it's definitely a lose-lose game, and the Germans may choose to exercise restraint, at least until they have enough fighters removed from the Soviet battlefield to protect their cities. , will not attack us again."
The Germans' technology is very strong, but the number of fighter jets on their homeland is insufficient. Or, if the United States does not bomb the German mainland, but bombs the big cities of the German servants, that is enough for the Germans to drink a pot.
Although it is a lose-lose style of play, it is also the only chance for the United States.
"Moreover, after the Soviets got these bombers, they would definitely not wait to attack the big German cities first and use the scorched earth policy to deal with the Germans. Force the Germans back to the negotiating table." Marshall continued to analyze his judgment: " That way, it might buy us more time.”
Obviously, although valuable strategic weapons will be provided to the Soviets, this is an inevitable choice, which is beneficial to the entire war situation.
As for the threat to the United States after the Soviet Union got the B-29, we will talk about it later.
Finally, Roosevelt put down his cigarette: "It seems that we have to quickly reach this agreement."
"No, the Soviets are crazy, the Germans are even more crazy, if the Soviets got this bomber, it would definitely start a war against the demise of the German cities, then the Germans would have no scruples and use them in Moscow This kind of weapon destroys Moscow and the Soviet Union immediately perishes. This tactic is self-defeating. Everyone, think about it, the Germans already have such a big killer, why don't they use it when attacking every city? Even Use such a big killer to force the Soviets to surrender?"
At this moment, the veteran Nimitz spoke.
This is the most puzzling scene of the entire war.
The Germans obviously have a big killer, but they don't take it out and use it on every battlefield. If they take it out, they can easily end the war. Even before the war begins, they will directly destroy Moscow and quickly destroy the Soviet Union. .
The Germans are still the conventional way of playing. They only use this weapon when they are fighting Petersburg. Moreover, analyzing these war cases, it can be found that when the Germans use this kind of big killer, they are all in the diplomatic field. They made a statement, and even asked the citizens to retreat in advance, and used it only after they had done enough gestures.
It makes sense for the Germans to do this, as long as the Germans don't commit genocide and kill every Soviet person, there will always be Soviets who will survive and live under German rule, so that the Germans It needs to take the moral high ground.
If the Germans are victors, they want to write history books, and they must write clearly why? Because of what, the Germans used this big killer.
This is one reason, another reason, that this weapon is probably defective. Now, Nimitz has already guessed what the defect is in his heart.
Maybe the principle is not complicated, and it is easy to copy. If you use it too much, it will be exposed and copied by the enemy. Once it falls into the hands of the enemy, it will pose a threat to the Germans.
Based on these ideas, the Germans did not use them on a large scale. Once the Soviets used them, the Germans would have no scruples and would use them everywhere. At that time, who would suffer?
It must still be the Soviets, because the use of such weapons requires bombers, and the use of bombers is to seize air supremacy. Do the Soviets have this ability?
When the Germans blew up the Soviets' oil fields, they abolished the Soviets' efforts to seize air supremacy!
