Shipyards can only be distributed along the coast. It is impossible for Americans to transfer industries to the mainland like the Soviet Union. At least the shipbuilding industry is not good. What's better is that the Americans' new aircraft carriers, outfits and hulls, have not been fully put into service, which is the best opportunity to fight.

Iceland.

Although it is already summer, the climate in Iceland is still cool, with a maximum of no more than 20 degrees, which is the most suitable weather.

At the same time, because Iceland is located in a high latitude, the day will be very long in summer and the night will be quite short.

In the western part of Reykjavik, one hundred kilometers away, on the flat ground between a platform valley, at this time, I was busy.

This is a fixed launch position.

The previous V-2 missiles were only ten meters long and could be easily dragged by a trailer and hit by a vertical force at any time. However, as the length of the missile continues to increase, there will be a lot of troubles when it launches maneuver.

Now in Germany, the chassis of rat tanks is being transformed as a chassis for mobile launches. At the same time, many have also begun to build fixed launch positions on the ground.

The so-called fixed launch positions means that they cannot move. At the same time, in order to avoid enemy attacks, these fixed launch positions are in the form of launch silos.

Usually, after the manhole cover is closed, there is no way to see anything. At the same time, the manhole cover can also carry a large amount of bomb attacks. That is to say, if the Americans brazenly dispatch bombers or even use naval guns to close the fire, these launch positions can resist.

At the same time, anti-aircraft artillery positions were deployed on the mountains on both sides, and it was not that easy for Americans to bomb.

The bombing of the plane must first enter the bombing route, aim at the target, and fly in a straight line. Now this is a basin. After they enter, they cannot find the target at all. When they discover the target, they have already flew over.

This is the best launching position.

When built as a launch silo, the problems faced are even more. The biggest thing is how to emit gas during launch, and a complex diversion device must be designed.

German engineers overcome various problems and built twenty underground launch silos here in less than a month, which was definitely progressing rapidly.

At the same time, a assembly workshop hidden in the forest was built next to the launching position. The missile parts transported from the empire were assembled in the assembly workshop and transported to the launch silo here to launch, which was absolutely efficient.

After initial production, as long as the parts are sufficient, they can produce twenty missiles a day.

It just so happens to supply the continuous launch of missiles.

At this time, in a corner of the launching position, in the wooden command room, Colonel Wald Dornberg, the head of the Iceland missile base, issued a loud order: "Note, two hours of preparation, target, Norfolk, Newport News Shipyard. North latitude: 36°54'West longitude: 76°18'."

Colonel Dornberg was also a military figure when the V-2 missile was established in the early days. At that time, he was just a small captain. Now, he has grown into the commander of the missile force commanding a base. At the same time, his missiles are already the latest V-4 improvements.

The v-4 missile had just completed its test launch not long ago. At that time, the first live ammunition was aimed at Odessa and bombed the Soviets.

The V-4 missile is Germany's latest missile. Compared with the previous V-2, the biggest difference is the second-stage rocket. At the same time, almost all use mature technologies. The first-stage rocket is a parallel state with three V-2 rocket engines. The second-stage rocket is a single V-2 engine, so it is progressing very quickly. As long as the difficulty of air separation of the second-stage rocket can be overcome, it will be successful. At the same time, the application of electronic computers makes the design of this missile very simple and optimizes the ballistics.

Even so, you can only hit a range of 2,500 kilometers. It is not enough to hit the United States.

At this time, Cialek proposed a simple and effective method, which is to reduce the weight of the warhead, increase the fuel tank, and thus increase the range.

In later generations, Iraq did this. Iraq only had Scud missiles, which could not hit Israel and Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh. At that time, Iraq used a very simple method, doubled its range by disassembling one Scud missile and giving the fuel tank to the other two missiles, thereby increasing the range.

At the same time, the warhead weight was reduced to only 190 kilograms, and the Scud with a range of only 300 kilometers was successfully transformed into the Hussein missile with a range of 600 kilometers.

Under the current circumstances, developing brand new missiles and greater thrust engines requires orderly progress and will definitely not be solved in a short while.

Therefore, we can only continue to think of ways from the V-4, increase the fuel tank and reduce the weight of the warhead. Since we already have advanced electronic computers, improve designs, and conduct computer simulations, it is all very smooth. When the warhead is turned from one ton to five hundred kilograms, and a missile body of more than five meters long is added to re-optimize the ballistic trajectory, the maximum range of this missile reached 5,000 kilometers.

It can threaten the major cities on the west coast of the United States, and now it is time for it to show its power.

After receiving the order, the missile soldiers in the base immediately prepared nervously.

This batch of missiles only came down from the production line yesterday and then entered the underground launch silo. Now, in the underground launch silo, the officers and soldiers wearing gas masks have begun to enter the initial launch procedure and refuel the missiles.

When it becomes a launch silo, it is easier to replenish fuel. Dimethylhydrazine is highly toxic and nitric acid is highly corrosive. Replenishing fuel is the most dangerous and irreversible in the launch process. Once the replenishment is completed, the missile must be fired out.

Strictly following the rules is the prerequisite for ensuring safety.

At the same time, next to the command room, a large machine began to buzz, and when it was working, even the indicator lights on the side became dimmed.

If you want to conduct any attack, you have to calculate the shooting elements. In the attack of naval guns, you just need to shoot the commander. Continuous adjustments will be made, and you will be able to hit the target if you are lucky.

However, when it comes to ballistic missile launches, it is no longer possible. It is impossible to see it hundreds of kilometers away, so it requires complex ballistic calculations. In the past, mechanical shooting commanders could only be used, with a large error.

It's different now.

When the first computer in Germany was manufactured, the technicians certainly did not stop. The first one was just a starting point.
