As the ignition command came, I saw a rocket on the TV screen first emitted a stream of white smoke from the bottom, and then a flame and hot gas instantly surrounded the entire launch pad.

On the launch pad, the rocket trembled slightly for a second, and then began to take off.

At the beginning, it flew very slowly and could see three flames emerging from the three engines at the tail.

This is the easiest way. When the thrust of an engine is insufficient, connect several engines in parallel to increase the thrust. The rockets on their side can develop a second-stage rocket so quickly, which is also the reason for this plan.

However, this is not optimized. If the thrust required is large, more engines should be connected in parallel. Think about the later Soviet Union in order to take the lead in landing the moon, Leng formed a rocket with 30 NK-15 engines in parallel. These 30 units lined up in a circle, which seemed to have a violent aesthetic. Unfortunately, the reliability was greatly reduced. As a result, the launch failed once and the moon landing plan had to be abandoned.

Learning from the mistakes, the Soviets woke up from the Great Leap Forward and began to build the big rockets steadily, and finally produced fruitful results. Unfortunately, the Soviet Union had disintegrated at that time, and the Energy Rocket only launched twice and ended in vain.

Germany's current rocket plan is step by step. Although it uses existing technology to speed up and three V-2 engines are connected in parallel, the subsequent high-thrust engines are developed in an orderly manner. When the development is successful, there will be long-range missiles and even intercontinental missiles.

Now, watching the rocket gradually take off, everyone present cheered.

The rocket continued to rise and its speed became faster and faster. Finally, the camera only captured the tail smoke, so the screen switched to the launch hall again.

The development of computer technology has brought great convenience to Germany's aerospace industry. For example, now, there are two lines on the giant display screen in the launch hall. One is a predetermined track, which is calculated by the computer and output to the screen, and the other is the trajectory observed by the large radar in the launch base.

These two orbits almost overlap, indicating that the rocket is flying along the right route.

At this time, the experts inside were staring at the screen nervously. They watched their aircraft's flight suddenly pause, and then continued to accelerate. "The first-stage rocket fell off normally, and the second-stage rocket was successfully ignited!"

Suddenly, everyone cheered. For them, the successful launch is not a success. It is necessary to ensure that the first level falls off and the second level ignition is considered a success.

There were cheers everywhere, and in the wolf's den, everyone was smiling.

"According to our current technological development, in two years, we will have missiles that can directly attack the United States." Keitel said: "At that time, even if we do not use bombers, we can directly use missiles to threaten the United States."

Many of Germany's weapons were developed to deal with the United States. Now, seeing the missiles progress rapidly, Keitel's words have won the praise of many people.

"Yes, but for us, missiles that hit the United States are just a small target. Our big target is to launch artificial satellites, land on the moon, and detect deep space." Cialek said with a smile.

Using rocket technology to develop missiles is only one aspect. In later generations, artificial satellites are an important way to change human life. Just navigating satellites has brought such a huge change.

Cialick's vision has always been long-term. If others say they land on the moon, they must be joking, but since Chief Cialick said so, there must be a possibility of realization.

"It's a pity that this rocket is too big. If we want to launch it maneuver, transportation will be a problem." Scherner said.

Germany's existing V-2 missiles are improved by using all-wheel-drive off-road truck chassis, while the new missiles are three times the length of the existing ones. It is not appropriate to use such vehicles and must increase the improvement efforts.

In Cirick's mind, a big guy like the Soviet missile launcher of later generations appeared. It seems that he should develop this kind of chassis, but it seems that he has a ready-made one now?

"What do you think of our mouse tank chassis?" Cirick said with a smile.

The big guy like the mouse tank, after improvement, it is completely fine to carry this missile on the back. What's better is that this chassis is tracked and is more convenient to move than a wheeled one.

"Head of War, what you said makes sense, but the transportation of this kind of chassis is not very convenient." Spel said with emotion.

The 502 Heavy Armored Battalion encountered this problem.

After receiving the order, the 502 Heavy Tank Battalion was eager to rush to the battlefield immediately. They took the train and reached the border between Romania and the Soviet Union. After getting off here, they fell into a speechless situation.

They can no longer take the train, they can only rely on the tow truck they brought to the battlefield with rat tanks.

However, the bridges along the way could not withstand the weight of rat tanks.

The rat tank is 150 tons, and the reinforced trailer is 200 tons. The bridges along the way have a load capacity of dozens of tons, so the engineers can only reinforce the bridges in front.

Although the off-road of the mouse tank is fine, its off-road trip is quite limited. Good steel is used on the blade. The mouse tank will only get off the trailer after entering the battlefield.

And now, their progress is quite slow.

"Rum, rumble." The 8*8 trailer made a roar. In front of it, there was a Tiger tank with a traction rope behind the tank, pulling the trailer.

Now it is equivalent to the tiger-style and dragging the trailer behind it together, because it is on the uphill.

Ao Sad is surrounded by mountainous areas. If you want to fight at Ao Sad, you have to cross these mountains.

Traces of battle can be seen everywhere on the road. The Romanians fought tenaciously and fought all the way to the outskirts of Aosad. Now, they are moving along the road of the Romanian attack.

Come on! Battalion Commander Mark shouted loudly from the side.

He watched the Tiger Tank engine emit black smoke and was not moving. The 8*8 trailer behind, four wide off-road tires on one side, were all idle, but the trailer behind was not moving!

The back is too heavy and the hillside is too steep, almost reaching the limit of traction.

"Go!" Hans shouted loudly. behind him, dozens of young men followed him to the side of the trailer. Their bodies leaned forward, their hands pushed the side of the trailer, and their military uniforms had long been stained with dust.

"One, two, push!" Hans shouted, and as they pushed hard, the wheels of the off-road trailer in front moved forward again!

Mark nodded with satisfaction. He knew that the group of officers and soldiers under his command had great origins. Now, the performance of these officers and soldiers is like ordinary imperial soldiers. They are not afraid of hardship, fatigue, and selfless dedication. They are all the best soldiers in the empire!
