Originally, the blue light missile test failed, and Alan Wilson didn't feel anything, but the Soviet ICBM was successfully tested. In contrast, there was no reason for the sadness in his heart. He was not mentally prepared for this news, and did not expect the Soviet ICBM at all. Progress so quickly.

The reason is that von Braun and his team were supposed to be taken over by the United States, but were intercepted by the Soviet Union to serve the Soviet Union.

The German rocket project is personally in charge of von Braun, responsible for including but not limited to: construction of missile assembly plant, parts manufacturing plant, launch base, total system design department, measurement and guidance warhead fuel engine and missile body structure design of various subsystems Department, wait, wait...

Having gone through hundreds of unsuccessful launches, an unprecedented ballistic missile engineering practice has been fully rolled out and gradually improved. This is the value of von Braun.

Facing the approaching US troops from the west and the Soviet troops from the east, von Braun decided to lead the team to surrender to the US military. If Alan Wilson had not reminded the Soviet Union, von Braun would definitely have succeeded and would not have served the Soviet Union as he is now. .

More scientists, engineers, and mechanics who played a role in missile development were discovered and reused by the Soviets. The German rocket industry was also completely moved to the Soviet Union. As a pursuer who was hit hard in the war, the Soviet Union had high hopes for overtaking in the rocket field, and had always attached great importance to von Braun and his team.

Finally this year, the advent of the R-16 intercontinental ballistic missile proved the Soviet Union's advanced in the field of rockets.

Alan Wilson immediately ordered a lot of newspapers to see how the current public opinion viewed this matter, but in the end he didn't find any major changes. After all, the general public still didn't quite understand what this meant.

"Von Braun and Kolyorov work for a country, it's terrible." Alan Wilson lamented, who is in charge of the blue-light missile project in the UK, de Havilland.

Alan Wilson does not despise de Havilland, he does not deny de Havilland's talent, but after all, this person in charge is halfway through the field of aircraft. If you say how proficient in rocket technology, who would believe it.

The range of the Blu-ray missile is far less than the standard of intercontinental missiles, with a design range of only 3,500 kilometers. The weight is close to 70 tons. It can be seen that the United Kingdom has no technical reserves in this regard. It relies on the rocket engine of Rolls-Royce Company, and takes the route of flying to the sky as long as the power is large.

"It's normal that there is no movement among the people, and I don't know what the Pentagon thinks." Alan Wilson could already vaguely feel that the era of the space race was approaching, but unfortunately he did not have enlightenment to understand.

Although the Five Eyes Alliance has been pulled up, the so-called intelligence sharing is not so high that there are no boundaries.

This is because Britain is not yet weakened enough to bow down. The United States is still wary of the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Pulling Canada, Australia, and New Zealand together is to increase its weight against the United States in the name of these countries in the Commonwealth.

The really important things cannot be known through intelligence sharing, and the US will not tell the UK what it really thinks.

He himself had a good relationship with McCarthy, but McCarthy would not tell him this kind of secret. Just wait for McCarthy to get drunk, if you want to know.

Alan Wilson was right in guessing that the successful test-fire of the ICBM was trumpeted by the Soviet Union. It directly shakes the free world that occupies the dominant strategic air force position.

Both the United States and the United Kingdom are currently using strategic bombers as the core of threatening the Soviet Union not to act rashly.

The fact that the bombers dropped nuclear bombs to make Japan surrender made both the United States and the United Kingdom believe that the superiority of the air force is a magic weapon to suppress the Soviet Union.

After the war, the U.S. Air Force was established, and the U.S. Strategic Air Command was established, which directly possessed the unparalleled and unstoppable energy to deter the entire surface of the planet, that is, intercontinental long-range bombers and air-dropped nuclear bombs.

Although the United States regretted not getting the German von Braun rocket team, it did not take it seriously in the end. After all, the strategic air force that swept the world is in the hands of the United States, and rocket technology is not so valued.

But all this was completely ended when the R-16 ICBM appeared. The range of the R-16 intercontinental ballistic missile has exceeded 10,000 kilometers. What a strategic bomber can do, it can do it, and it can even do it better.

The combination of rockets and nuclear warheads is a matter of course. This is not just as simple as overturning the advantages of strategic bombers. Once the Soviet ICBMs mature, they will put the United States in a backward position.

At the White House of the United States, Secretary of State Dulles reported to Eisenhower with a heavy face, "To know the exact situation, we must send a high-altitude reconnaissance plane into the Soviet Union. The U2 reconnaissance plane has just entered service, and its performance is not easy to be found. The reconnaissance planes in service are also unfamiliar."

"We only responded to Khrushchev's de-escalation policy." Eisenhower frowned and looked at Dulles. "Once discovered, it will put the United States in a passive position."

"The successful test of the intercontinental missile made us very passive." Dulles corrected flatly, "If it was just like the British blue light missile turned into a big fireball, it would not be worth paying attention to, but the Soviet Union's test was extremely successful. We You should know immediately where the Soviet rocket bases are, and have all the information, otherwise you will be irresponsible to the United States, Mr. President, do you think so."

"Even the UK is ahead of us. We must also speed up the progress of ICBMs." Eisenhower heard this~lightnovelpub.net~ could not help but feel dissatisfied. Of course, the United States also has ICBM projects advancing.

Various reports and assessments are emerging, but the project was only just established at the beginning of the year. This reason is not complicated at all. The US Strategic Air Command is the biggest opponent. It's not superficial, but there's a lot of action in the dark. It is believed that the development of strategic missiles is a waste of resources.

The United States used to deter the Soviet Union based on air superiority, and now the results have appeared. When the U.S. ICBMs were just beginning, the Soviet Union had already produced finished products, which had put the U.S. in a backward position.

In the end, Eisenhower agreed to Dulles' suggestion to have the U2 reconnaissance plane stationed in Pakistan to conduct reconnaissance on the Soviet space center. Although it was also contrary to his previous attitude towards Khrushchev, he could not control so much at this time. .

Then, the U.S. Congress passed a special budget to increase research and development on the ICBM program. The Pentagon meeting also emphasized the importance of the ICBM project, and all military services should cooperate and not set obstacles.

The result of this discussion is that the US Air Force should not continue to be an opponent of the ICBM project, which is not good for everyone.

The successful test launch of the R-16 intercontinental ballistic missile made the atmosphere of the whole world suddenly solemn. The United States, which has always believed that it has an absolute advantage, has a trace of panic in its heart.

There is also an impact on the UK. Although the Blu-ray missile test failed, it was encouraged by the cabinet and the Ministry of Defense to inform de Havilland to increase support for the Blu-ray missile project.
