On April 23, 1943, seemingly in order to echo the Far East, the High Command of the Third Reich issued an order to use V2 missiles to fight against the island of Great Britain.

On April 24, 500 V2 missiles were deployed to the Atlantic coast, targeting valuable military targets on the island of Great Britain.

After learning that China used missiles to attack Japanese islands, both the anti-fascist allies and fascist countries were deeply shocked and disturbed by this.

Mustache once again realized that there was a huge difference between the military technology of the Third Reich and that of China.

As a politician with a strategic vision, Mustache had a premonition that future combat methods would change after the emergence of jet fighters and missiles.

Countries will compete to develop missiles with long-range strike capabilities.

Thankfully, the Third Reich was at the forefront of this research project.

Their research started early and achieved considerable research results.

The technology of the v1 missile is relatively mature, but what Xiaowu values ​​​​more is the v2 missile and its subsequent derivatives and improvements.

Mustache is simply not satisfied with the V2 missile's maximum range of 350 kilometers.

He asked scientific research experts to make breakthroughs as soon as possible, not to be the best in the world, but to at least catch up with China.

The main purpose of this large-scale use of V2 missiles to attack the island of Great Britain is to frighten the Empire and the United States on which the sun never sets.

It was hoped that the Allied landings on the European continent could be delayed so that the Third Reich could have time to develop and grow.

On April 24, 500 V2 missiles were launched from more than a dozen launch bases along the Atlantic coast.

A dense missile trail appeared over the English Channel. It was beautiful and spectacular at first, but shocking and horrifying at the next.

Air raid sirens were sounded in cities across Great Britain.

Although the hit rate of V2 missiles is not high, the number launched this time is large.

In the end, more than 300 missiles fell into the target area, causing a large number of casualties.

Countless people are beginning to realize the importance of missiles.

April 25. Pacific Fleet Command.

Nimitz and MacArthur sat opposite each other, with several senior intelligence officials beside them.

Intelligence officials first reported to the two generals the damage caused by missile strikes on the island of Great Britain and the Japanese mainland.

Nimitz and MacArthur listened quietly, with ugly expressions on their faces.

The intelligence officer said:

"Currently, it seems that the Chinese missile technology is ahead of the Third Reich."

"The Third Reich is ahead of the rest of the world!"

"But the gap between us and the Third Reich is not big, and we will catch up soon."

After the intelligence officer made a summary, everyone looked at the two generals.

There is research on related aspects within the United States, but the level of confidentiality is very high, and Nimitz and MacArthur are not aware of the progress of the research.

MacArthur was holding his pipe and his words were somewhat unclear.

"What is your estimate of the maximum range of China's missiles?"

The intelligence officers looked at each other, and then a supervisor replied:

"It should be about 600 to 1,000 kilometers."

"Can it attack targets at sea? I mean aircraft carriers or fleets?" Nimitz asked.

The intelligence officer nodded affirmatively.

"We do not have specific information, but based on analysis and speculation from various aspects, the missile should be able to do this."

Nimitz and MacArthur cursed.

The intelligence officer took a puff of cigarette, exhaled the smoke and said:

"We have received some uncertain news. It seems that Peking is planning to sell fighter jets and missiles to other countries."

"Then what are you waiting for? Buy it. It's much faster than studying it ourselves." MacArthur said impatiently.

With missile samples, our own missiles can be successfully developed quickly.

"We have dispatched agents, and I think we will get back the news soon."

.

The same discussion also occurred in Eastern Europe, America, Great Britain, etc.

Although the news is uncertain, relevant parties have already sent manpower to Peiping.

………

Lu Zhuoran, deputy director of the Political Department and Jiangdong's overseas plenipotentiary representative, returned to Peking on April 25.

Negotiations between Peiping and Chongqing have begun, but no progress has been made yet.

Next, Lu Zhuoran will take over the relevant negotiations.

Jiangdong intends to cultivate Lu Zhuoran and let him enter the core circle of decision-making. It is not good to stay abroad all the time, as it is easy to lose touch with the country.

After returning to Peiping, Lu Zhuoran first reported his work to Jiangdong.

Jiang Dong originally asked Lu Zhuoran to obtain at least one ice-free port or a military base in Central Asia from Lao Maozi before allowing him to return to China.

But Lao Maozi has a tough attitude, like an iron cock, and never pulls out a hair.

The troops will immediately start their southern and western expeditions, and Jiangdong will also leave Peiping.

Let Lu Zhuoran return to China early to familiarize himself with all aspects of work. After Jiang Dong left, he assisted Xie Chengrui, Wang Xueqin and others in managing military and political affairs across the country.

After the report, Lu Zhuoran did not go home immediately. Instead, he held a short meeting with the members of the Zhenhua Youth Society Executive Committee in Peiping.

Although he is not in the country, he has always been the chairman of the executive committee of the Youth Society.

The Youth Club is growing day by day, with members from all walks of life and systems.

As the chairman of the executive committee of the society, Lu Zhuoran must ensure that the society develops in the right direction.

This is one of his greatest concerns.

May 1 will be in a few days, and the General Staff has revealed to the outside world that the expedition ceremony will be held on May 1.

1943 was the first year after the victory of the Anti-Aggression War, and also the first year for China to fully enter the world.

The whole society is paying close attention to the upcoming expedition ceremony.

Song Ziwen suffered a setback, and various regions of the Gongbang Dynasty strengthened border inspections. After these two situations occurred, major families temporarily gave up the action of transferring assets abroad.

They hide in their eggshells like frightened quails, hoping that the situation will change in their favor.

These people are also paying attention to the peace negotiations, hoping to preserve current interests after reunification.

Of course, they are also concerned about the expedition ceremony held on May 1.

The southern expedition army will definitely pass through the southwest, and some people speculate that the principal's students will take advantage of the opportunity to take action and request the Military Committee to take more precautions.

However, the principal seemed not to notice anything and did not take any response.

After May 1, Wang Laohu's 7th Corps marched south, and Jiang Dong led Li Zhaoli's 8th Corps to the west.

Japan has hundreds of thousands of servant troops in Indochina.

The Gongbang Dynasty will send three divisions to cooperate with Wang Laohu to liberate the Indochina Peninsula.

These three divisions received training from Peking and used the same weapons and equipment as the Chinese army.

In terms of welfare benefits for soldiers, except for slightly lower military pay, other benefits are roughly the same.

All young people in the Gongbang Dynasty envied the soldiers of these three divisions. They had good welfare benefits and military pay that was enough for the family to live a prosperous life.

The Governor-General's Palace intended to enhance the social status of local soldiers, thereby diluting their national and regional awareness.

So far, it seems that the Governor's Palace is doing a good job.

Lao Maozi is also waiting for China's Western Expedition Army, because they heard that the Western Expedition Army has an armored group equipped with brand-new tanks.

On the Eastern Front battlefield, tanks dominated the entire battle from the beginning.

The Third Reich used tanks to launch lightning attacks, and the Bears needed enough tanks to collide with enemy tanks.

Therefore, although Lao Maozi is impatient to wait, he still has to wait for the Chinese army to march westward.
