ALL NOVEL Chapter 592 Height
In fact, Yanik had no intention to continue bombing the United States, because the chromium-nickel-manganese superhard aluminum alloy must be supplied to fighter jets first. The production of the ME264D high-altitude bomber is quite limited. So far, there are less than 50 of them, except for the refurbished aircraft. , there are only about 30 aircraft that can be dispatched.
These thirty bombers were equipped with a total of less than one hundred tons of bombs. Bombing at an altitude of 10,000 meters would not have much effect other than scaring people. Unless like the original B29, hundreds of them are dispatched at a time to bomb a city overwhelmingly.
But not long ago, the weapons research and development department successfully built the carbon fiber bomb he mentioned once before.
Carbon fiber bombs, also known as "graphite bombs," are specially designed to attack enemy power grids and paralyze them. This kind of graphite fiber is made by grinding with special fluid energy and chemically cleaned. After these two processes, the conductive performance of the graphite fiber is greatly improved. Due to the special material of graphite fiber, it can be adsorbed on the surface of any object, which is very scary. Graphite fibers spread out in the air and intertwine with each other to form a network. Because graphite fiber has strong conductivity, when it is placed on a power supply line, a short circuit will occur and the power supply facility will collapse.
This kind of graphite bomb can destroy the enemy's high-voltage power grid in the range of 100 kilovolts to 330 kilovolts in the area.
In addition, when graphite fibers cause overcurrent short circuits, they will vaporize due to heat and generate arcs, causing the conductive graphite fibers to be strongly adsorbed on electrical equipment, thereby destroying their original insulation properties and causing long-term damage to power facilities that are difficult to repair. .
A 250kg aviation carbon fiber bomb contains 147 submunitions, each containing 32 bundles of carbon fiber. When the bomb's main body is detonated, releasing the submunitions, the carbon fiber is thrown out in clumps, covering a large area. When carbon fiber encounters high-voltage current, it can short-circuit the wires. Each carbon fiber is 30 meters long, and a bomb can cover an area of approximately 6,000 square meters.
In the later Gulf War, graphite bombs made their debut during Operation Desert Storm. At that time, the United States dropped graphite bombs on Iraq and attacked its power supply facilities, paralyzing 85% of Iraq's national power supply system.
With such a good thing, Yannick had the idea of attacking the American industrial area.
After hearing Bentrop shouting on the radio about bombing the United States again, Queen Elizabeth asked in confusion on the hospital bed. "You are so stubborn about the United States, aren't you afraid that the Soviet Union will take advantage of it?"
Yannick smiled. "Her Royal Highness, you haven't understood the situation yet. It's not that I'm fighting against the United States, it's that the United States is being beaten unilaterally. As for the Soviet Union, with its pitiful fighting power, if I don't bother him, he should burn incense. Now, you still want to stab someone in the back?" He also knew that both the United States and the Soviet Union were in crazy troop-explosion mode, but even if the Yankees built 100 battleships, 1,000 aircraft carriers, and 100,000 fighter bombers, without Britain's gateway to Europe In the case of a springboard, I can only stare.
As for the Soviet Union, he also received intelligence. After the last bombing of the United States, the Soviet Union was gearing up to send troops to Iran. However, he found that the United States relented and handed over the seized French gold, causing the Soviets' plan to invade Iran to come to nothing.
Queen Elizabeth shook her head slightly. "But what's the point of your bombing like this? It can't cause substantial harm to the mainland of the United States. At most, it will harm some innocent civilians."
"Innocent? I don't think so." Yannick sneered. "I don't know if Her Royal Highness the Queen has read Voltaire's works. There is a classic saying, 'When an avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent.' There are no innocent civilians in war, everyone is Participating in the war in a certain sense. For example, paying taxes, paying grain, producing and manufacturing certain equipment and supplies, serving as hostages, etc.; without the support of civilians, is it possible for the army to exist?"
"And I haven't violated the laws of war of the Geneva Convention, have I?" There are only some scattered provisions on the protection of civilians in the annexes of the 1899 Hague Convention 2 and the 1907 Hague Convention 4. It was not until August 1949 that the provisions on wartime protection were concluded. Civilian Terms. "Besides, it took several hours between the time our bombers were discovered and when they flew over the target. If there are civilian casualties, it can only be said that the US government is too incompetent and cannot protect its own citizens."
"As for what you said will not cause substantial harm to the mainland of the United States, indeed, it did not happen before, so I did not continue the bombing, but now a super weapon has been put into production. This super weapon can destroy most of the United States. Paralyzed.”
"..." Queen Elizabeth was about to say something when Margaret and little Elizabeth ran in. "Brother Yanik, do you recognize your younger brothers and sisters as your son or daughter? Then can we still call you brother in the future?"
Yannick smiled. "Of course, you can continue to call me brother, and your younger siblings will call me godfather. It's up to you."
After a long flight, the bomber formation taking off from Greenland finally flew into the sky over the continental United States. Airborne radar soon discovered the US fighter jets coming to intercept.
"Enemy plane! 50 kilometers ahead, altitude 9,000, still climbing!"
The bomber formation commander said calmly. "The intelligence is indeed correct. The Americans have put into service a new type of fighter jet. Attention everyone, we have climbed to 14,000 meters and let these Americans see what high-altitude flight is!"
"Oh, God!"
The oncoming P-38 fighter squadron quickly spotted the bomber formation visually. Our current flying altitude was already 12,000 meters. The aircraft was very difficult to control, and it was like flying bricks with no maneuverability. He said, but the opponent's bomber formation was still climbing, and the height was obviously more than 13,000 meters!
"Damn, what's going on? Didn't it say that the German bombers flew at an altitude of 12,000 meters?!" After cursing, the squadron leader had no choice but to report to the headquarters. "Command center, command center, the German bombers flew at an altitude of 14,000 meters, and the interception failed!"
"What?!" Arnold was shocked in the Army Aviation War Room of the Pentagon. He was stunned for a long time before picking up the phone and calling the White House. "Mr. President, the German bombers have reached an altitude of 14,000 meters and our fighter jets cannot intercept them."
"..." President Roosevelt's face, which was already weak, became even more ugly, and he had no choice but to give the order to sound the air defense siren.
The shrill air raid sirens rang over Washington. Fortunately, most people had fled the city last night, and there were not many people left in the city.
But after a while, another news came from the fighter squadron. "The German bombers separated! They flew in groups of three and flew in different directions!"
