1574 Closer in a Circle

Tiksi.

The cold sea breeze of the Arctic Ocean, along the coast, blew onto the land, and the air smelled of tide.

Although most of the western part of the Soviets has been occupied, in the Far East, it has always been calm. Since the Battle of Nomenkan, the islanders have accepted the terrible results of the battle, knowing that their strength cannot compete with the Soviets at all, so they gave up The attempt to go north, and since then, never thought about the Soviet Union again.

This fully demonstrates the fact that in the world of rogues, fists are the boss, teach the other party once, teach the other party to be afraid, and then be honest in the future.

In the east of Tiksi, not far from a small town, Sokolovka, there is a newly built air base of the Soviet Far East Military Region. At this time, in the sunset, silver bombers are flying from Flying over the sea in the east.

When the wheels came into contact with the soil runway, the huge fighter plane continued to roll forward for more than a thousand meters before slowly stopping.

The cabin door opened, and a famous pilot jumped out of it. Although it was summer, the temperature here was less than 10 degrees. As a port city on the Arctic Ocean, most of the time here, in a frozen state.

"Captain, after we refuel, should we continue to fly?" After getting off the plane, pilot N-S-Liberge, facing his captain, A-G-Wassercierge, who is also the head of the entire flight regiment asked.

No one knows where to fly, only to the Far East. Who would have thought that they did not land in Kamchatka or Vladivostok, but flew to the Arctic Circle, where one of the Landed at a base near a port city on the Arctic Ocean.

This is just a temporary stop at most. When the fuel is full, it is time to fly to the destination. In Lieboko's consciousness, although they will not be arranged in Moscow, they will definitely be 500 kilometers behind Moscow. A city within, and from there, it is possible to fly to the German mainland.

It's too far here.

"No, this will be our base in the future." He exhaled a breath of cold air, said Wassertziege.

Use this as a base? In an instant, Brother Liebo's eyes widened: "Captain, are you kidding me?"

This is in the Arctic Circle, it is cold all year round, and the supply is not smooth. How can I take off and bomb? The most terrible thing is that according to the voyage of the B-29, if it takes off from here, it will only reach Belarus at most, and it will not be able to hit the German homeland at all.

Tiksi, the eastern part of the Soviet, the mouth of the Lena River, right at the mouth of the Laptev Sea, the geographical location here is not good in any case, there is no railway, only by inland water transportation, it is quite slow, to supply A bomber force, seems unlikely.

For these newly received Tu-4 bombers, they deliberately established the 890th Bomber Regiment, and Lieboko looked at the current regiment commander, feeling like he was joking.

"Of course it's not a joke." Wasserziger said: "Now, all flight crews, go to the conference room immediately, our bombing mission will start within 24 hours."

The conference room is newly built, and the surrounding woods are ready-cut and made directly from logs. The whole conference room looks very new, with a smell of pine wood.

"Our first bombing mission was Munich." When Wasserziger said these words, everyone present looked at him like an idiot.

"Captain, do you know the range of our current bomber?" a pilot couldn't help shouting: "Are we going to fly in one direction? We can execute orders, we are not afraid of death, but make us like this I don't think it's appropriate to have a hard-to-get aircraft used in such a suicide attempt."

From here, fly to Munich? It's definitely a one-way route to court death.

"Of course not." Wasserziger said: "I didn't expect that my subordinates are actually a group of rice buckets, and you can't even figure out such a simple reason, why do we have to take this straight voyage, why can't we go around? lock up?"

After finishing speaking, Wasserziger's hand gestured on the map: "That's it."

Go around in circles and get closer!

If you look at it on a plane, this is absolutely impossible. On a plane, the straight line between two points is the shortest. This is too simple axiom, and it does not need to be proved, it is directly correct.

In the three-dimensional world, this is not the case. There is a shortcut, which is to go around in a circle. For the northern hemisphere, go north.

If you look at it from the map, it seems to be farther, but if you put it on a globe, you can clearly see that when you go to a high latitude area, because the latitude coil is small, the distance will be closer.

(For a simple example, taking a plane to the United States, from the map, it seems to be flying directly over the Pacific Ocean, but in fact, there are no flights that fly like this. On the contrary, it will be closer, and readers who do not understand it are highly recommended to take a globe to see.)

Straight flight is out of reach, but if you go around the North Pole, you will be closer. At the same time, there is another advantage, that is, you can use the high-latitude circulation over the North Pole to achieve the most economical way of flying.

Why did you choose here as your base?

The German reconnaissance planes can fly freely over the territory of the Soviets, and their flight altitudes can even exceed 15,000 kilometers. At this altitude, no Soviet aircraft can reach them, so they are undefended, that is to say, the Soviets Most of the territory will be clearly seen by the Germans. If the airports are arranged in those places, they will be easily discovered by the Germans, and then they will attract terrible bombing.

On the contrary, no one will notice here.

Secondly, in addition to being very safe as a base here, the Germans would never have imagined that taking off from here and flying the Arctic route, they would fly for thousands of meters over the North Pole, and then fly over Finland, via Poland, and straight into Munich.

Munich is an inland city in Germany. The defense is weak in the first place, and the focus is on the east. There is no defense against the planes coming down from the north. In this way, the possibility of a successful sneak attack is quite high.

"Everyone, our first battle must be victorious. This is related to the life and death of our Soviets." Wasserziger continued: "This time, we will use a special bomb to destroy the entire Munich! What we did in Petersburg, now we're going to pay it back!"
