Chapter 764: Chain Reaction

After a moment of surprise, Shulka asked, "Isn't this an airplane?"

This is the cleverness of Shulka, because the German V1 missile looks like a small aircraft from the beginning, the difference is that its pulse jet engine is installed above the tail, so it looks a bit weird.

At the same time, because this is a photo, and it is a photo of the V1 missile flying in the air, it is impossible to judge its size without a reference object, so at a glance, everyone will think that it is an aircraft, a new type of German aircraft.

"No no!" Akadyevich shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be an airplane, because its size is wrong...the length is about eight or nine meters, the height is less than two meters, and the wing width is about four meters!"

Shulka pretended to frown and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes!" Akadyevich replied: "The intelligence officer who took this photo was a former artillery observer. He is very good at estimating the size of the target using his knuckles and nearby reference objects!"

Akadyevich is right, because the size of the V1 missile is about the same as estimated. It is a flying object with a length of 7.9 meters, a height of 1.42 meters, and a wingspan of 5.37 meters. Among them, only the data of the wingspan is relatively different. But this is also because it is difficult to estimate the width of the wingspan when viewed from the side.

"If it's an airplane!" Akadyevich said, "then it's too small, I mean... if you add fuel and a flight control system, it can barely fit in." Next guy. Can't even carry machine guns and bullets, let alone bombs. So, what are the Germans producing such small planes for?"

"Maybe it's for reconnaissance!" Shulka was rambling, he couldn't guess what it was, it would only make Akadyevich suspicious.

"It's also unlikely to be a reconnaissance plane!" Akadyevich said, "You know, Shulka. The Germans basically have air supremacy, and they can do reconnaissance very well with any aircraft. Task, there is no need to waste time and effort to develop this thing!"

Akadievich's analysis is correct. The Germans have no need to develop such a small reconnaissance aircraft.

Shulka asked back: "Where did you find it?"

"Penamunde on the Baltic coast!" Akadyevich answered. "It's about you, Shulka! Remember Major Bauer?"

"Of course!" Shulka replied.

Major Bauer was the German officer whom Shulka and Akadyevich deliberately let go.

"Is that the information he got?" Shulka asked.

"You can put it this way!" Akadyevich explained: "It was he who discovered that the Germans had a project with a high level of secrecy in Penamünde. At the same time, there were a large number of scientific researchers and a scientific research base. ! That's why we sent intelligence agents there and found this!"

As he spoke, Akadyevich shook the photo, and said, "If it's just a small plane, they don't need to make it so mysterious!"

Shulka nodded in agreement.

"It was Comrade Sisoy who suggested that I ask you!" said Akadyevich. "He has no idea about it, and neither do our scientists. Sisoy thinks what you might think! "

Shulka held the photo as a thought, and he was considering whether to say it or not.

At this time, Shulka is more inclined to the former, because although this thing is important from a historical point of view, it even changed the mode of future warfare... Modern warfare, whether it is air combat, naval warfare or land warfare, is all about missiles, and it even develops Strategic equipment such as nuclear missiles, and even aviation and aerospace to set foot on the moon rely on it.

But that's in the future.

Although Germany developed the V-series missiles during World War II, they were all in their infancy and appeared too late, so they could not change the outcome of the war.

What's more, what if Shulka had to say it?

So Shulka thinks that he just needs to act stupid and be stupefied about this matter.

"Unfortunately, Comrade Akadyevich!" said Shulka, "I don't know what it is!"

There was some disappointment in Akadyevich's eyes, and then he nodded and said, "It's okay, Shulka! After all, our scientists don't know, and we have too little information, only one photo!"

"Yes!" Shulka agreed with Akadyevich's explanation.

But then Akadyevich's words startled Shulka.

"Then!" said Akadyevich, "we'll have nothing but the hard ones!"

"What?" Shulka asked. "You mean..."

"Yes!" said Akadyevich, "we have contacted the Polish partisans!"

It is not surprising that the Soviet army had links with the Polish partisans, and Peenamünde was near the Polish border with Germany.

Of course, Poland at this time has been occupied by Germany and there is no junction at all.

That's when Shulka was in trouble.

There has never been such a thing in history.

You must know that Major Bauer was released by Shulka, and then Major Bauer found a clue, so the Soviet Union discovered the V1 missile research and development site.

That is to say everything is connected with Shulka.

So what would happen if Shulka let it go?

Shulka doesn't know because it hasn't happened yet.

But Shulka worried about a series of chain reactions that would be unfavorable to the Soviet Union, although it seemed to be beneficial to the Soviet Union.

for example……

The research and development of this V1 missile of the German army is mainly to be able to hit the United Kingdom.

Because Britain and the European continent are separated by the English Channel, there are only a few ways to conquer the island nation of Britain:

One: Flying through the air with an airplane.

This approach was tried by the Germans, but failed miserably.

Two: Surround it from the sea.

However, the German navy was unable to confront the British navy, and could only implement a limited blockade with submarines. Although this could exhaust the British supplies, it could not make it surrender.

Three: Implement an amphibious landing battle and land directly on the British mainland.

This is basically impossible when the tactics of amphibious landing warfare in World War II are not perfect, especially Germany does not have sea and air superiority over the United Kingdom. Under such circumstances, implementing landing operations is almost courting death.

Then the Germans have only one way, and that is to use the V1 missile, an ultra-long-range "missile" based in France, to hit the British mainland and bomb its capital, London.

And this kind of bombing caused a huge panic among the British who didn't know what missiles were. To a certain extent, it also forced Britain to no longer sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and actively join the war against Germany.

Now...if the Soviet Union successfully destroys this research and development base, will it cause Britain to continue to "watch the fire from the other side"?
