Chapter 1568: Thermobaric bomb for B-29
If we talk about the most feared weapon of this era, the Germans' large bombs that were enough to destroy the entire city, were definitely the first.
Although hundreds of bombers are needed to fly over together, even the incendiary bombs are not enough to blow up the entire city.
But what the Soviets did was imitated and the same bomb was imitated.
The United States is very interested in this kind of bomb, and even exposed a few spies, but it has gained nothing. At the same time, the United States is also looking for duds everywhere, but also has nothing to do.
The Germans were very vigilant. The Gestapo was directly responsible for the factories that produced bombs, and the bomber troops were the targets of strict protection by the Germans. Even if they used spies to lure pilots, they were exposed.
Now, before the Soviets destroyed the country, they finally imitated this kind of killing weapon!
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 was not willing, but they had no choice.
When they imitated it, the weight of this big bomb reached ten tons. Then, they searched all their planes and found that no aircraft could carry such bombs. So they turned their attention to the United States.
The Soviet Union did not, but the Americans had it. The Americans' latest B-29 bomber could definitely carry such heavy bombs, and it could fly all the way to Berlin, because this plane looked almost exactly the same as the Juncker 290 bomber.
The Americans needed bombs, and the Soviet Union needed bombers, so the two sides simply cooperated. The Soviet Union took out this kind of killer technology and presented it to the United States to let the United States master the manufacturing methods of thermopress bombs. At the same time, the United States gave fifty B-29 bombers to the Soviet Union, so that the Soviet Union could fly this bomber to bomb German cities.
This is difficult to make a decision.
For the United States, the B-29 strategic bomber is the American's secret weapon. Although the United States provided a large amount of military equipment to the Soviet Union, it was almost all backward, such as the aircraft only provided P-39s that were not needed in the United States.
Strategic bombers are the top priority. Its large range and huge bomb load are destined to be a powerful threat. Today, the Soviets can drive B-29 to bomb Germany, and tomorrow, the Soviets can still bomb the United States.
If Germany is defeated, the United States and the Soviet Union will definitely re-enter the hostile state. After all, ideology is different. As a national leader, the vision must be long-term.
Now, providing the Soviet b-29 is a good idea. In the past, everyone would sneer and think beautifully! But now, the Soviets used this big bomb to exchange it, which would make people spit.
"The Soviets gave us a condition that we could not refuse." Marshall said: "For us, if there is a thermo-pressure bomb, we can immediately fight back against the Germans and achieve a strategic balance with the Germans. If the Germans continue to attack our ports, we will use the thermo-pressure bomb to fight back, aiming to destroy the German cities."
"At the same time, the Germans may respond the same way, but in this case, it is definitely a lose-lose style of play. The Germans may choose to restrain themselves, at least until they have enough fighters removed from the Soviet battlefield and protected their cities, they will not attack us again."
The Germans are very powerful, but the number of fighter jets on their territory is insufficient. Or, if the United States does not bomb Germany's mainland or the Germans' servants' big cities, that is enough for the Germans to drink a pot.
Although it is a lose-lose style of play, it is also the only opportunity for the United States.
"And, after the Soviets got these bombers, they would definitely be impatient to first raid the German big cities and use scorched earth policy to deal with the Germans. Force the Germans to return to the negotiating table." Marshall continued to analyze his judgment: "This may give us more time."
It is obvious that although valuable strategic weapons will be provided to the Soviets, this is an inevitable choice, which will be beneficial to the entire battle situation.
As for the threat to the United States after the Soviet Union received the B-29, what happened in the future will be discussed later.
Finally, Roosevelt put down his cigarette: "It seems that we are going to reach this agreement quickly."
"No, the Soviets were crazy, the Germans were even crazier. If the Soviets got this kind of bomber, they would definitely launch a battle to perish the German cities. Then the Germans would have no scruples. Using this weapon in Moscow to destroy Moscow, the Soviet Union would be destroyed directly. This tactic is a way to die. Everyone, think about it, the Germans already have such a killing weapon, why don't they use it when attacking every city? Even using this kind of killing weapon to force the Soviets to surrender?"
At this moment, veteran Nimitz spoke.
This is the most puzzling scene in the entire war.
The Germans clearly had a killing weapon, but they did not take it out and use it on every battlefield. If they were taken out, they could easily end the war, and even directly destroyed Moscow before the war began and quickly destroyed the Soviet Union.
The Germans still had a conventional way of playing, and they used this weapon only when they fought Petersburg. Moreover, if you analyze these battle examples, you can find that when the Germans used this type of killer, they made statements in diplomacy, and even let the citizens retreat in advance and made sufficient gestures to use it.
It makes sense for the Germans to do this. As long as the Germans do not create genocide and kill every Soviet person, there will always be Soviets who survive and will live under German rule. In this way, the Germans need to occupy a moral height.
If the Germans are victors, they have to write historical books. They must write the reasons clearly, right? Because of what, Germans have used this kind of killing weapon.
This is one reason, and another reason is that this weapon may have some flaws. Now, Nimitz has guessed what the flaws are in his mind.
Maybe the principle is not complicated and it is easy to imitate. If used too much, it will be exposed and imitated 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 it on a large scale, and once the Soviets used it, the Germans would be scruples and would use it everywhere. Who would suffer at that time?
It must be the Soviets, because they use this weapon, bombers are required, and the use of bombers is to seize air supremacy. Did the Soviets have this ability?
