Disappointment was written on everyone's face. Roosevelt looked at the slowing ice aircraft carrier, watched 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 whim.

Think about it, the construction of ships, from the initial canoe, to the later sailboat, and then to the steamship, has been developed step by step for many years, and has emerged with the progress of technology bit by bit.

And now?

Without any technical reserves, if we want to tinker with this ice-made aircraft carrier in a short period of time, it will inevitably be accompanied by a series of risks, not to mention the huge displacement.

War is terrible. Countless cities have been transformed into ruins and countless populations have disappeared. It is a catastrophe on earth. But at the same time, war is also a catalyst for technological progress. The technological progress in the entire World War II exceeded the development of a hundred years in peacetime.

In order to win, all countries will have various new weapons with great imaginations. There is only one goal, and they will defeat the enemy and strive for victory at all costs.

Island Country.

Shanshi Fifty-six was killed in the attack on Midway Island. The island country lost a capable general. At the same time, the advantage that he had finally won was also lost with the destruction of the Midway Island base.

Island countries are no longer able to control the Western Pacific. If the United States needs it, it can go west at any time and continue to attack the island countries' sphere of influence.

Fortunately, Germany is strong and Germany is preparing to land across the sea, which puts great pressure on the United States. Therefore, after the World War Midway, the United States did not rush to continue provoking wars in the Western Pacific, but focused on Atlantic defense.

Of course, the island country would not watch the American bombing, and without any response, it has always been thinking about a way to counterattack.

"We are still lacking intercontinental bombers. Although we have imported some advanced technology from Germany, we still have two or three years to develop advanced intercontinental bombers, and we can't wait for so many." In the capital of the island country, senior executives are in consultation.

"The revenge of Shanjijun must be avenged, and the revenge of the Midway base must also be avenged. Unfortunately, our naval strength has been greatly reduced and we cannot continue to compete with the United States for hegemony in the Pacific." said Koga Feng, the successor of Shanji Fifty-six, the chief of Yokosuka's governor.

In Yokosuka, he was just a civil servant on the shore. Koga Feng himself had no practical experience and no special merits. He had not served in the main force of the joint fleet for a long time. He was a typical three-no product. However, he was a person like him who inherited the responsibilities of the 56th responsibilities of the island country's navy and could only blame the promotion principle of the island country's navy:

The Minister of the Navy, Chief of the Military Command, and Commander of the Joint Fleet were promoted in most cases from the Commander of the Yokosuka Governor, Commander of the Wu Governor, Sub-author of the Navy, Sub-author of the Military Command, and Commander of the Second Fleet.

You can only promote juniors, but you cannot promote seniors unless in extreme cases, such as the juniors who do not meet the conditions, then you will be promoted according to the order of the hammock number, that is, the graduation ranking, and you cannot reverse the order.

This is how a person's fate is. Koga Feng also knows that he is not capable of leading the entire fleet, but he has no choice.

Now, after taking office, what he needs to face is to avenge the pheasant and to avenge Midway.

The Americans are so disgusting that they actually used a terrible bomb to destroy the entire Midway Island.

"Yes, relying on existing technology, we cannot blow up the United States, but our meteorological experts have discovered a favorable condition. Oishi and Saburo, please introduce it to you."

Hearing the words of Tojo who presided over the meeting, Oishi and Saburo stood up and said to the senior officials in front of him: "After careful study, a high-speed westerly wind belt was found over our local area, and the balloons entering this wind belt would move quickly."

After in-depth research on the atmosphere, you can clearly know the convection in the atmosphere. This is actually the mid-latitude area of ​​the northern and southern hemispheres. Between the subtropical high-pressure zone and the subpolar low-pressure zone, the hot air rising over the equator and the cold air above the polar regions. In this era, the exploration of climate is still very primitive, and it is even less clear that it is above 10,000 meters.

Since the wind will move eastward with the balloon, just install a bomb under the balloon, so won’t you throw the bomb to the United States?

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

"If we use balloons, we cannot control the flight of bombs, so we cannot control the bombing point." A navy general reacted and said to Oishi and Saburo.

"Yes, but we have calculated it accurately. As long as we fly in the sky for 69 hours, we will definitely be able to float to the United States. As for the accuracy issue, we can achieve it by increasing the number. If we release 100,000 balloons to the United States, even if only 10,000 arrives, it will be 10,000 bombs. Even if only one-tenth of them blows into residential areas, it will be 1,000 bombs."

"Yes, this plan is very good, I suggest you implement it immediately." Koga Feng said.

The cost is low. The cost of building 100,000 balloons is not as good as that of a strategic bomber, but it can have the effect of thousands of bombs. It is an absolute good idea!

The people present agreed and in this way, the bomb balloon plan was approved.

If the ice aircraft carrier has a big brain, then the bomb balloon is almost the same. After all, what kind of brain does it take to think of it when flying half of the earth with a balloon?

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

"We can't use ordinary air balloons to explore." said Hidetsuki Arakawa: "The flying height of the balloon will get higher and higher, and eventually explode, and it won't fly that far."

Air probe balloons are used in the meteorological field. Because the buoyancy is greater than gravity, it will continue to rise. When the pressure of high air is low, the balloon will expand and its volume will become larger and larger until it explodes.

If you want to fly so far, you must allow the balloon to control your height.

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

"It seems that we have to design an automatic device." Arakawa Hidetsuki quickly captured his idea: "We put 30 sandbags weighing 2 to 7 kilograms in the hanging basket under the balloon. When the balloon flies below 9,000 meters, the bolts that fix the sandbags will automatically be released due to air pressure, and the sandbags will be thrown down one after another, and the balloon will rise due to weight loss. When the balloon is flying above 10,500 meters, a valve of the airbag will automatically open to discharge hydrogen, and the balloon will lower the height."
