Everything that should be demolished has been demolished. Now, the plane still has surplus. What's the surplus for? Fuel, of course!

The voyage is far away. Although the Soviet Union is closer, it is quite inappropriate for the island countries to land in the Soviet Union after bombing. Only China can land. Moreover, they have to run farther, but they can't be in the area controlled by the island countries or in the area controlled by the state.

At this time, sufficient fuel is the guarantee of everyone's confidence. After all, there may be any accident in flight.

"In this bombing, we need to load one 454kg child and mother incendiary bomb and two 227kg high explosive bombs. The rest of the space is used for fuel." Doolittle continued.

The bombing of the island country is only symbolic. It is not to flatten Tokyo, but to retaliate against the island country and demonstrations. As long as it can make the island people understand that the United States can bomb his own land every minute.

Other spaces, come on!

A 225 gallon rubber auxiliary fuel tank is installed in the front, a 160 gallon folding rubber auxiliary fuel tank is installed in the bomb bay, a 110 gallon metal auxiliary fuel tank is installed in the belly, and a 60 gallon fuel tank and 10 5-gallon fuel tanks are even placed in the tail space. There are no oil pipes in these places, so the pilots need to climb over and refuel manually in the sky!

After making trouble for several days, they finally doubled the B25 oil volume from 646 gallons to 1251 gallons. In order to prevent freezing, the oil tank must be equipped with a deicer.

All this is finished. Next, it's taking off.

Refitting aircraft has always been carried out at the airport. Now, on the runway of the airport, they have specially drawn a line to simulate the deck. The aircraft is fully loaded and trained according to the actual situation.

Doolittle got into the cockpit. He opened the window and looked down hard from above. There was only a short 60 meters from the take-off line here to the take-off line opposite. He had to pull up at such a short distance!

The engines on both sides were successfully started. The Wright r-2600-9 engine was emitting black smoke, and the propeller was rotating rapidly. After preheating for two minutes, Doolittle fully opened the throttle. In an instant, the engine made a huge noise, and each engine was releasing the maximum power of 1700 horsepower.

Release the brake and the B-25 bomber, like an old yellow bull with full strength, rushes forward with its head depressed.

Speed up, speed up!

The length of 60 meters was almost instantaneous. Doolittle pulled the lever in front of him back hard. The plane tried to leave the ground without success. It was not until it was more than 80 meters.

no way! You have to keep losing weight!

Doolittle is constantly competing with the B-25. He needs to make the plane fly successfully from the aircraft carrier!

In order to bomb the island countries, Americans racked their brains. At this time, on the other side of the ocean, an aircraft they most need has begun test flights.

On the runway of junkers company, a large bomber is preparing for take-off. In this era, junker-290 is already a behemoth, and this bomber is longer and wider than junker-290. Three engines are arranged on one side of its long wing!

"Two years ago, we launched the American bomber project. In order to complete the project faster and better, we restructured it on the basis of the original junker-290." Abbas, chief designer of junks company, said to the people around him.

Hilrick, the head of the Empire, is inspecting junkers company and participating in the first flight ceremony of the junker-390. This is a memorable day!

The junker-290 has been envied by many countries. For example, island countries have always wanted to order from Germany. Unfortunately, Germany will not give them this opportunity. This kind of strategic bomber must not be exported.

At the same time, the junker-290 is not enough to travel to and from America. Therefore, Germany has developed air refueling technology, which can improve the endurance of the junker-290. However, this is still not the final solution.

The ultimate solution, of course, is to develop a real intercontinental bomber!

Although the ballistic missile project is progressing steadily with the support of chirek, it still needs a long way to go from a real intercontinental missile. In this way, Germany must also have this large intercontinental bomber to carry the atomic bomb under development.

At the same time, this large aircraft has great potential. In addition to becoming a bomber, it can also become an air tanker. When electronic technology advances, it can even become a carrier of air early warning aircraft, and so on.

Germany has this demand and technical strength.

"We use a further improved engine, and the power of a single engine has reached 2500 HP, which makes our aircraft have better power performance, with a bomb load of more than 20 tons and a maximum takeoff weight of more than 75 tons."

The bomb carrying capacity is more than 20 tons, which is tailor-made for the planned atomic bomb. In this era, nuclear weapons have just begun to be developed, and the road of miniaturization is far away. Only bombers can carry them.

While listening to the designer's introduction, hilrick looked at the bomber on the runway. In history, this large aircraft was ordered to be built by Hitler after World War II had been reversed. It was an untimely time and did not enter service in the end.

But now it's different. With the rapid development of military technology in Germany, this aircraft has entered the prototype flight test stage. Of course, this is also the final model.

The next generation of aircraft must be jet aircraft. With the continuous improvement of jet fighters, jet bombers have been put on the agenda. Although it may take a long time, jet always represents the development of the future.

On the runway in the distance, the roar of engines came. Six high-power engines made a roar. The first test flight of junker-390 bomber finally began!

Under the body, rows of tires ran together. The long wings crossed the air and constantly generated lift. They almost slid forward for more than 800 meters. The front wheel of the bomber finally left the ground, and the rear wheel continued to slide with it for a few seconds. After that, it also left the ground. The giant finally flew up!

Countless technicians cheered on the field. They broke a record again and sent the largest spacecraft made by mankind to the sky!

Looking at the bomber flying into the sky, hilrick's thoughts were brought up. He seemed to see that the bomber carried a nuclear bomb and swaggered to the top of the American head for deterrence.
