“The U.S. military is coming to attack your base in Florida. Aren’t you worried?”
Outside Houston, Guderian narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the rockets gliding through the sky with orange-red tail flames and sharp whistling sounds, and said to Model beside him without turning his head.
“What are you afraid of? Doesn’t he have Eisenhower at home? In addition to 50,000 elite German troops, he also has nearly one million Southern troops!”
Model was also admiring the rockets that were streaking across the sky. When Steiner’s Marines set out from their homeland, they were equipped with a newly developed and produced weapon – the Blizzard-class rocket!
This rocket is a vehicle-mounted multiple rocket. A rocket launcher has a total of six rocket tubes with a caliber of 400 mm. The weight of the rocket is 1,540 kg, and the weight of the warhead is 600 kg.
From the caliber, it can be seen that this rocket is a heavy artillery, and it is a type of weapon that can destroy the world!
Compared with traditional artillery, rockets can fire all the ammunition they carry in a very short time. A rocket launcher can pour six rockets into the enemy’s position within one minute, instantly covering a large area. Area, this area covered by rockets, basically no grass grows!
And if there is a battalion or even several battalions of rockets fired together, the rockets will form a rain of bullets that covers the sky and the sun, and the area they cover and the density of the attack will be further increased!
The enemy troops that are hit to this extent are almost like being poured with a rain of steel. Living people can be roasted, and killing people does not need to be killed by explosions at all, but can be burned to death directly with high temperatures!
Moreover, the range of this weapon is very long. They can be fired at a distance of 60 kilometers from the target. After being hit, the enemy can’t find the location of the artillery fire that hits them, and can’t even figure out what attacked them. After all, rockets are still very unfamiliar to the armies of various countries in the world!
“Tsk tsk, these six rocket launchers fired at the same time, instantly pouring more than 50 tons of artillery shells onto the enemy’s position. If I were the US military, I would be completely stunned!”
Although Guderian is not a weapon-only person, this does not prevent him from appreciating this kind of violent aesthetics!
Model on the side was not in such a good mood. After seeing the rockets falling into the US military’s position in Houston, Model immediately picked up the telescope to check! Needless to say, the bombed city area immediately caught fire, and a large amount of white smoke rose into the sky. Even in the daytime, the fire in the city was still dazzling and the red was particularly dazzling!
Although the distance was far and it was impossible to hear the voices of the US soldiers in the city, Model seemed to hear the screams of thousands of US soldiers rolling and wailing in the sea of fire!
“If one day our enemies use this kind of weapon against us, I’m afraid we will be in trouble too!”
Unlike Guderian, Model is good at defensive battles.
When fighting a defensive battle, it means being attacked fiercely by the enemy.
The attacker already has the advantage in weapons and firepower. If they are equipped with such a powerful weapon, it will be even more difficult for him to hold the position. Even if he can hold it, he will definitely pay a huge price!
Therefore, after seeing the powerful power of the Blizzard-class rocket, Model’s heart showed deep worry.
“General, don’t worry. Only we can produce and manufacture this weapon. Other countries will not have such technical capabilities in a short time!”
A young officer on the side said with a smile after hearing Model’s words.
Model glanced at him.
Although he was wearing an army officer’s uniform, the color of his cuffs and collar was slightly different from that of an army officer.
People with this logo should be the logo of the Empire’s SSS Condor Force.
Model had heard of this force a long time ago.
This force was extremely mysterious.
It was said that it was created by the head of state himself.
They had a small number of people and were not front-line combat troops.
They did not have battlefield combat capabilities, but the importance of this force was very high, because many of the Empire’s advanced secret weapons were produced, improved and perfected by them!
The Blizzard-class rocket is one of them. After all, before seeing the real thing today, Model and Guderian had never heard of its existence. It can be seen that this is obviously a weapon with a high degree of confidentiality!
“Oh, why?”
Model was a little curious when he heard the other party say so confidently. The German army was still in the final stage of artillery preparation. He would be needed to command after the artillery preparation was completed. So before that, he had time to chat with the other party.
“Because this weapon uses a lot of advanced technologies, including gyroscopes, transmission devices, inertial guidance devices, flight attitude control devices, rocket ramjet engines, solid rocket fuels and many other equipment and technologies that other countries cannot develop or can’t even think of!”
As soon as the young officer opened his mouth, he said a lot of nouns and terms that neither Guderian nor Model could understand. The two looked at each other, not understanding what the other was saying at all.
However, seeing the other’s confident expression, the two did understand one thing, that is, this rocket has a very powerful appearance and is very troublesome to manufacture. It requires very high technical requirements, and it seems to be very expensive!
Thinking of this, Model couldn’t help but ask curiously:”What is the unit price of this rocket?”
The diameter of a Blizzard-class rocket is 400 mm, and the weight of the rocket is 15 tons. This data is not much different from the navy’s naval guns, and the price of a single shell of the navy’s naval guns is about 2500-4500 Reichsmarks per shell.
If the price of a rocket is similar to that of a naval gun shell, then this price is acceptable. After all, the naval gun can be moved to land for use, and it can also fire a salvo at one time. It is still very cost-effective to spend a little more money! However, if the price exceeds the price of the naval gun shell by too much, then this weapon may not be cost-effective. You can’t afford to shoot down several tanks with a salvo, right?
“The current production quantity is still relatively small. Taking into account the research and development funds invested previously, the average price of each rocket is about 20,000-25,000 Imperial Horses!”
“What, how many?”
Guderian and Model were both shocked when they heard this number!
25,000 shells per round , and they just fired 36 rockets. Doesn’t that mean they fired twelve Panzer IV tanks directly?
Twelve tanks!
