The brutal bombing of Petersburg made the Soviets aware of the strength of the Germans again, and such a tragedy cannot happen again.
If the Germans wanted to attack any city and bombed it directly, the Soviet Union would not have to fight this patriotic war. Just surrender.
They have to fight back!
One of the most needed is the high-altitude fighter. The mig-3 was blown up at the base last time, which shows that the Germans are also afraid of this fighter. Therefore, now in the rear, the mig-3 is being produced at full power by the factory, but there are still many material delays during this war period.
They need the support of the United States. For this fighter given by the United States, they don't dislike the difficulty of driving or the opening mode of the cockpit. They only dislike the lack of supercharger.
It must be able to fly high and intercept German fighters!
At the insistence of the Soviet Union, the United States finally began to help the Soviet Union install a supercharger on the engine.
In fact, this aircraft engine is quite famous in the United States. It has many models, some with superchargers and some without superchargers. However, flying snake pays attention to low altitude when it is designed. It is not a high-altitude fighter at all.
If the Soviets want it, they will install it. It's just that there are some problems in flight quality at high altitude. Don't blame the American aircraft.
Greenland Sea.
This is already in the Arctic circle. You can see large pieces of ice floes floating out from the north at any time. Those ice floes are a great threat to ships sailing here.
"Attention, ice floes are found ahead. Slow down." On a cargo ship, Captain Chris shouted to his crew.
Patrick Henry, the whole hull is still quite new. It can be said that the cargo ship has just been launched for more than a month. Although this is not its maiden voyage, it is only its third voyage.
Now, their cargo ships are being built in large quantities by American shipyards. In the United States, there is a unified name. They are all called free ships. Now the Patrick is the first ship of the freedom ship.
Both sides of the United States are the sea. For the United States, if it wants to communicate with the outside world, it has to rely on the sea. In the current war period, almost all American shipyards are working hard to manufacture all kinds of warships for the U.S. Navy.
But the United States needs not only warships, but also a huge transport fleet.
Under this demand, the United States has placed orders for the construction of cargo ships to its small shipyards. One of the most important is to shorten the construction hours and mass produce in batches.
At this time, Henry Kaiser, an outstanding figure in the United States, proposed the use of assembly line to build, multi departments work at the same time, and a free ship needs an average of 500000 man hours. First, the method of sectional assembly is adopted.
Shipyards for building free wheels usually include steel plate workshop, steel truss workshop, brass casting workshop, cable workshop, carpentry workshop, pipeline workshop, parts (water pump, etc.), rigging workshop and paint workshop.
Marine main engines and boilers are transported by rail from the subcontractor's factory. All workshop products are transported to the pre assembly area for assembly, and then transported to the final assembly area by crane or flat heavy-duty truck.
In the initial construction, the current Patrick Henry took 244 days, and the Oregon star, the first free ship built by the Oregon shipyard, took 232 days.
A year later, the teal at the Oregon shipyard was launched in 10 days. The "Robert pirry" built by Richmond shipyard took only 4 days, 15 hours and 29 seconds, creating a miracle of industrial production.
Historically, from 1941 to 1945, a total of 2751 free ships were built in 18 American docks.
This cargo ship has a displacement of 7000 tons and can carry more than 10000 tons of goods. It is the most suitable for the United States now. Unfortunately, its appearance is quite ugly.
The bottom of general cargo ships is U-shaped, but now the bow column is indeed inclined forward, and the bottom is V-shaped. This ship type can reduce resistance and improve the ship speed when installing ordinary main engines.
After it was built, Time magazine called it the ugly duckling.
Roosevelt attached great importance to these cargo ships. He knew that only strong maritime transportation capacity could enable the United States to win the war. Therefore, when the first ship was the Patrick Henry, Roosevelt personally presided over the launching ceremony.
"Free or die, these ships will bring freedom to Europe and the world.". Roosevelt borrowed Henry's words, which became the origin of the name of the free wheel.
Now, the free ship is loaded with goods, including trucks, grain, high-grade fuel and some disassembled flying snake fighters, sailing towards the Soviet port of Murmansk.
They have no choice.
Although the Germans announced the establishment of the European joint maritime law enforcement commission to conduct maritime inspection here and made it clear that they wanted to block this route, they were full of goods at that time.
Unloading takes time. If they go around the Pacific Ocean, it will take several more months, so they can only risk continuing to take the planned route.
At the same time, they deliberately moved the route north for safety.
Originally, they planned to go through the slightly warmer Norwegian Sea. Now, they crossed the Danish Strait to the colder Greenland Sea. They planned to go east from here, around the north of Jan Mayen Island and reach the Barents Sea.
I can't get away with it, can I? Walking all the way around, the Germans really don't give people a way to live?
Navigation in the Arctic Circle is full of risks. The wind here sometimes exceeds force 12, and the ubiquitous ice floes are a great threat. It's enough to make people nervous just in the face of these natural problems. At this time, the Germans will certainly not make trouble?
Chris is wearing the thickest clothes. His beard is frozen to pieces. Almost everyone in the whole cockpit is the same.
There was heating on the ship, but I don't know what happened. If they heated the cab, the front glass would frost quickly and can't see anything clearly.
Now, they can only open the window and keep the cockpit at the same temperature as the outside. In this way, the front glass is finally clear, and they are all shivering with cold.
If they wear another hat, they will all look like Santa Claus.
Holding the telescope and putting it in front of his eyes, Chris continued to look at the route ahead. It seemed that the front was much better and no more glaciers were found.
"Three, speed up!" Chris said.
Just then, his almost frozen ears heard something extra. He looked up and saw a bright spot in the sky.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
