Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The Prime Minister's Office in London is in a mess. Except for those that cannot be smashed, almost everything else is a pile of junk. But Churchill was still angry and cursed.

Because of the "New Jersey" passenger liner incident, the UK has been condemned by the whole world. No matter how the UK explains or defends it, there is a feeling that the more it explains, the more unclear it becomes. After all, the Germans produced a bunch of personal and material evidence; the distress signal sent by the New Jersey passenger liner before it sank, the bullet-riddled bodies of the victims and ship fragments, as well as the wreckage and sailors of the sunken British submarine.

There is an old saying that "facts speak louder than words". It is really difficult for Britain to convince people with just one mouth. In addition, Britain has done many dirty things before; attacking the French fleet, its former ally, and instigating Mussolini to kill the King of Italy, etc. Now it seems that it can do this kind of attack on neutral passenger ships.

A batch of equipment that the United States was preparing to sell to Britain was also shelved under pressure from public opinion. This incident also implicated President Roosevelt, and the U.S. Congress was going to hold a hearing to re-examine the issue of amending the Neutrality Act. The opposition parties even madly attacked Roosevelt, saying that his stupid policies killed innocent American citizens.

There were even demonstrations by the families of the victims in Washington, demanding that the United States declare war on Britain and severely punish the damn murderer.

Of course, it was impossible to declare war on Britain, but Churchill also knew that he might not be able to buy anything from the United States for a long time in the future.

After venting hysterically, Churchill gradually calmed down. The thing had happened and there was no way to undo it; he put the matter behind him like a broken pot and went to Dowding to ask. "If the Germans really send planes to bomb, can we hold on?" If we listen to the Germans' threats, London, which has a population of several million, will be completely in chaos, and traffic jams alone will be a big problem.

Dowding assured with confidence. "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we have deployed the latest radar. If the Germans really dare to offend, then our pilots will definitely make it impossible for them to come back." After losses and failures on the European continent, Britain's existing fighter jets are all The more advanced Hurricane also has the Spitfire, which has higher combat effectiveness.

Churchill felt slightly relieved and warned. "We must take strict precautions and never let a bomb fall on London."

But they didn't know that Yannick was going to bomb London, and he didn't plan to send planes, but to bombard it with artillery.

This is not a fantasy. At the end of the war in the original time and space, the Allied air raids on Europe gradually increased and intensified. Germany frantically searched for a solution that would allow the British, far away from the war, to experience the horror again.

The V3 super cannon was also born. It is a multi-stage artillery. When used, multiple gun barrels are assembled together and arranged at a certain elevation angle along the hillside. The optimal inclination angle is 55 degrees. The gun barrel has a multi-section shape from bottom to top. There is a powder chamber on the left and right sides of each section of the barrel. Many sections of the barrel are connected together, like a multi-section centipede. When firing, the lowermost powder chamber is ignited first, causing the shell to start moving. As the shell quickly flies through the powder chambers of each section, each section of the powder chamber is also ignited in time, so that the shell is continuously accelerated. In this way, the initial velocity of the 83-kg artillery shell leaving the muzzle can reach 1800 meters/second, and the maximum range can reach 300 kilometers. Bombing London was no problem. It is said that if the cannon is built, it will be able to fire 600 tons of artillery shells at London every day.

In September 1943, the British and American Air Force discovered the V3 cannon launch pad. In November of the same year, the U.S. Air Force's 9th Army conducted a devastating bombing of the launch pad, halting the test work for a period of time. However, due to the protection of the 6-meter-thick concrete fortification, the V3 cannon did not suffer any damage.

In March 1944, the U.S. Air Force air raided the V3 launch pad again. The launch pad was only slightly damaged and the test could still proceed as usual. Since then, the pace of the project has accelerated. About 60% of the V3 cannon's firing slope has been completed, and the shell loading machinery has also been installed, gradually approaching the live ammunition launch stage.

The Allies did not know what the Germans were doing in the area, but they confirmed that the area was a very important military facility for the Germans. To this end, the British Air Force decided to send Lanchester bombers carrying the latest super bomb weighing 5.4 tons to bomb the V3 cannon launch pad.

On July 6, 1944, the V3 launch pad was severely damaged, and a launch ramp was completely blown up. Soon, the Calais area was occupied by Allied forces.

After occupying Calais, the Allied forces discovered the V3 cannon launcher. They did not know what kind of new weapon it was and were very surprised. Shortly before the fall of Berlin, a senior Allied general inspected the V3 launch pad and said with emotion: "If the V3 plan is implemented, London will definitely be destroyed." Shortly thereafter, the launch pad was blown up by the Allied forces.

"What happened to the defense of the V3 cannon base?" Once the V3 cannon starts pouring shells into the British mainland, the British will definitely find ways to destroy the launch base. The most convenient and quick way is to send planes to bomb.

"Three anti-aircraft artillery positions have been arranged there. There are four field airports nearby and 200 fighter jets have been deployed. It can be said to be foolproof."

If the British want to air attack the V3 artillery base, they will fall into a trap.

Yannick nodded with satisfaction. "Let Dr. Goebbels use the radio to inform the citizens of London that we will start bombing London at eight o'clock tonight, and ask them to leave the city and seek refuge elsewhere."

"yes!"

V3 artillery base in the Calais region.

The correspondent hurriedly walked into the office of Kunda, the head of the V3 cannon, holding the telegram. "Report, His Highness has an order to bombard London at eight o'clock tonight!"

Kunda, who was discussing cannon data with his assistant, punched the table. "Great, are all launch preparations complete?"

The assistant also looked excited. "It was completed the day before yesterday. I'm just waiting for His Highness's order."

Kunda ordered. "Go check it again while you still have time. I don't want anything to go wrong after years of hard work."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." After his assistant left the office happily, Kunda walked to the window and sighed as he stared at the ten V3 cannons arranged along the hillside in the distance. “What an outstanding piece of art!”

In the original time and space, due to the Allied air superiority, the V3 cannon could only be built in underground tunnels, and a 6-meter reinforced concrete protective layer had to be built on the launch pad to ensure that the fort would not be damaged.

Now that the German Air Force can be said to be the number one in the world, the V3 cannons no longer need any protective layer. They are so generously arranged along the hillside at a certain angle and pointed at the UK, without even proper camouflage.
