Disappointment was written on everyone's face. Roosevelt looked at the slowing down ice aircraft carrier, watching it turn hard and then return, and the speed was getting lower and lower. Roosevelt knew how many technical risks there were in this sudden fantasy.

Think about it, the construction of ships, from the initial canoe, to the later sailboat, and then to the ship, has developed step by step for many years, and only appeared with the progress of technology.

And now?

Without any technical reserves, if you want to beat up this ice aircraft carrier in a short time, it will inevitably be accompanied by a series of risks, not to mention huge displacement.

War is terrible. Countless cities have become ruins and countless people have disappeared. It is a human catastrophe. However, at the same time, war is also a catalyst for scientific and technological progress. The technological progress in the whole world War II has exceeded the development of one hundred years in peacetime.

In order to win, all countries will have all kinds of new weapons with big brain holes. There is only one goal, defeat the enemy and strive for victory at all costs.

island country.

Pheasant 56 was killed in the attack on Midway Island, and the island country lost one of its capable generals. At the same time, the easy advantage disappeared with the destruction of Midway base.

The island countries can no longer control the Western Pacific. If the United States needs it, it can move westward at any time and continue to attack the island countries' sphere of influence.

Fortunately, Germany awesome, Germany is ready to cross the sea and land, which is a great pressure to the United States. So after the first World War in Midway Islands, the United States did not rush to continue the war in the Western Pacific, but instead focused on the Atlantic's defense.

Of course, the island countries will not watch the American bombing, and they do not have any response measures. The island countries have been thinking of ways to fight back.

"We still lack intercontinental bombers. Although we have imported some advanced technology from Germany, we still have two or three years to develop advanced intercontinental bombers. We can't wait so much." In the capital of the island country, senior officials are holding consultations.

"The vengeance of the pheasant king must be avenged, as must the vengeance of the midway base. Unfortunately, our naval strength has been greatly reduced and we cannot continue to compete for hegemony with the United States in the Pacific." Gu Hefeng, the successor of pheasant 56 and the chief of hengxuhe town guard office, said.

The garrison in Yokosuka is just a civil servant on the shore. Gu Hefeng himself has no actual combat experience and no special merit. He has not served in the main force of the joint fleet for a long time and belongs to a typical three noes product. However, a person like him has inherited the duties of pheasant 56. He can only blame the promotion principle of the island country's navy:

In most cases, the three important positions of the Secretary of the Navy, the chief of the military command department and the commander of the joint fleet are promoted from the commander of Yokosuka Town, the commander of Wuzhen Town, the Deputy officer of the Navy, the deputy director of the military command department and the commander of the second fleet.

Only the younger generation can be promoted, not the senior students, unless in extreme cases, such as the younger generation does not meet the conditions, and then promoted according to the hammock number order, that is, the graduation ranking. The order cannot be reversed.

A person's fate is like this. Gu Hefeng knows that he is unable to lead the whole fleet, but he has no choice.

Now, after taking office, he needs to face revenge for pheasant and Midway Island.

Americans, it's so hateful that they used terrible bombs to destroy the whole Midway Island.

"Yes, relying on the existing technology, we can't blow up to the United States, but our meteorological experts found a favorable condition. Dashi and Saburo, please introduce them to you. "

Hearing the words of Dongtiao, who presided over the meeting, Dashi and Saburo stood up. He said to a group of senior officials in front: "after careful study, a high-speed westerly wind belt was found over our native land, and the balloon entering this wind belt will move rapidly."

After an in-depth study of the atmosphere, we can clearly know the convection in the atmosphere. In fact, this is the middle latitude of the northern and southern hemisphere. Between the subtropical high pressure zone and the sub polar low pressure zone, it is the intersection zone between the heated hot air over the equator and the cold air over the poles. In this era, the exploration of climate is still very primitive, and it is not clear if it is above 10000 meters high.

Since the wind will carry the balloon eastward, simply put a bomb under the balloon and you can throw the bomb into the United States?

This is a good idea. Compared with the consumption of bombers, balloons are the least resource consuming, the lowest cost and the best effect

"If we use balloons, we can't control the flight of the bomb, so we can't control the impact point." A Navy General reacted and said to Dashi and Saburo.

"Yes, but we have accurately calculated that as long as we fly in the sky for 69 hours, we will be able to float to the United States. As for the accuracy, we can achieve it by increasing the number. If we release 100000 balloons to the United States, even if only 10000 arrive, it will be 10000 bombs, even if only one tenth of them blow up to residential areas, That's a thousand bombs. "

"Yes, it's a good plan. I suggest it be carried out immediately." Gu Hefeng said.

The cost is low. The cost of making 100000 balloons is not as high as that of a strategic bomber, but it can have the effect of thousands of bombs. It's an absolutely good idea!

The people present agreed for a while. In this way, the plan of bomb balloon was passed.

If the ice aircraft carrier has a big brain hole, the bomb balloon is almost the same kind. After all, what kind of brain can think of flying half the earth with a balloon?

After coming out of the base camp, Dashi and Saburo immediately found their colleague, Hideki Arakawa.

"We can't use ordinary sounding balloons." Arakawa Xiujun said: "the balloon will fly higher and higher, and finally explode. It can't fly that far at all."

Sounding balloons will be used in the meteorological field. Because the buoyancy is greater than gravity, they will continue to rise. When the high-altitude air pressure is low, the balloons will expand and become larger and larger until they burst.

If you want to fly so far, you must let the balloon control its height.

"Yes, this is also the biggest problem I have encountered. We must solve it quickly." Dashi and Saburo said.

"It seems that we have to design an automatic device." Arakawa Xiujun quickly captured his idea: "we put 30 sandbags weighing 2 to 7 kg in the basket under the balloon. When the balloon flies below 9000 meters, the bolts fixing the sandbags will be released automatically due to the action of air pressure, the sandbags will be thrown down in turn, and the balloon will rise due to weight loss. When the flight is higher than 10500 meters, a valve of the airbag will automatically open to discharge hydrogen, and the balloon will lower its height. "

Arakawa Xiujun said as he quickly drew drawings: "let's start the experiment as soon as possible!"
