Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

After several disastrous defeats in which the entire army was annihilated, the Americans finally learned that the German Navy had been equipped with very advanced fire control radars and could achieve precise artillery fire at a distance of more than 20,000 meters. The fire control radar is not affected by weather, day and night, etc.; once a night battle breaks out, your own side will only be beaten!

Therefore, President Wilkie is very concerned about the development progress of fire control radar. After all, it is a good thing that several new warships are about to enter service, but without supporting fire control radars, these emerging warships are like targets in front of the German Navy, and there is no way to fight back. force.

"..." General Leahy couldn't help but sigh. You must know that the development of radar is not accomplished overnight.

Radar research in the United States started relatively slowly in the original time and space, and it was not until the mid-to-late 1930s that research and development began. And the most important high-energy magnetron received help from the United Kingdom.

The high-energy magnetron was the new device that had the greatest impact on radar during World War II. It enables the radar to operate in the microwave band with greater pulse intensity. It improves the target's comprehensive resolution accuracy (sharpness), azimuth accuracy and distance accuracy by orders of magnitude, makes the antenna smaller and has higher performance, enables better detection of sea surface and terrain interference clutter, and enables the pulse width to reach Microseconds, shortening the minimum detection range from half a mile to a few hundred yards, allowing interceptor guns to be fully controlled by radar, and allowing bulky antennas to be shrunk to fit in the wings or in bomb-sized pods.

In September 1940 in the original time and space, Britain handed over magnetron technology to the United States. This was part of the Allied strategy of openly using electronic technology to defeat the Axis powers. The magnetron used as a sample can emit 3000MHz microwaves with a power of 10KW. In order to take shortcuts, the US military decided to put this extraordinary magnetron designed by the British into production immediately with only the necessary modifications.

Unfortunately, at this time, the British Empire had already received its lunch, and the United States did not have the opportunity to enjoy the high-end technology provided by the United Kingdom. It could only explore step by step on its own. Germany's radar technology began to be studied as early as ten years ago, and it gathered top scientists from all over Europe. How could the United States catch up in a short period of time?

General Leahy said helplessly. "Mr. President, it will take some time for our fire control radar to be successful." As for how long this "time" will be, he doesn't know. Even the competent department responsible for radar research and development cannot give an accurate time.

"..." President Wilkie nodded silently. He also knows that everything cannot be done in one bite; the development of active sonar is already a great progress. In just a few days, destroyers equipped with active radars will be launched and they will be able to sink the German ghost submarine. Letting the German underwater submarines stop for a while is already a happy event worthy of celebration.

"Tell them that they don't have to worry about research funding. It's a great achievement to develop it as quickly as possible." In just over half a year since he took office, two war bonds have been issued. The first time was 8 billion US dollars, the second time was 12 billion US dollars; and they have begun preparing to issue the third batch of bonds, which is expected to increase to 20 billion US dollars.

Moscow.

After receiving domestic orders, Eisenhower went to Stalin and conveyed President Wilkie's wishes to Stalin.

"Let us guard the Aleutian Islands?" Stalin frowned slightly.

The mere mention of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands made him feel uncomfortable.

More than 70 years ago, the foolish Tsar Alexander II actually sold Alaska to the United States for US$7 million plus US$200,000 in fees. The nearly 1.7 million square kilometers of Alaska were worth only two cents per acre on average. The Aleutian Islands were given as a free gift!

As for why Tsar Alexander II sold Alaska, it was because for the impoverished Tsarist Russia at the time, this land was undoubtedly useless. At that time, Tsarist Russia’s people’s living standards, treasury, and military were much lower than those of neighboring countries. At that time, Alaska could be said to be barren of grass, and it was in extremely cold weather most of the time. In the eyes of the world, it was a useless place; in addition, after the Crimean War in 1856, Russia's vitality was severely damaged, and Russia was worried The Russian colony of Alaska was taken away by British North America (now Canada), so it proposed to the United States that it hoped to sell Alaska to the United States.

Many years later, a large number of minerals were discovered in the land of Alaska, as well as gold and oil. These materials made Alaska's industry more developed. A large number of oil factories and mines were established in Alaska, making this a rich place. , which has brought a lot of convenience to the United States.

Every time he thought about this, Stalin wanted to immediately "take back" Alaska as his own. It's just that Alaska was not seized by the United States, but was purchased through a legitimate and legal sale and purchase transaction between the two parties (to be more precise, Tsarist Russia at the time almost begged the United States to buy Alaska). In this case, the Soviet Union wanted to take Alaska back. Unless it declares war on the United States and takes it over forcefully.

Eisenhower nodded. "Yes, Lord Stalin. We suspect that the Germans' next target is the Aleutian Islands. You must also know that once the Germans occupy the Aleutian Islands, our transportation channels will be cut off by the Germans." Not to mention transportation. If the waterway is blocked, the entire Pacific Ocean will be in a passive state, which is really a bad situation.

"..." Stalin silently smoked his pipe. For the Soviet fleet to protect the Aleutian Islands, the waterway is important, but the combat effectiveness of the German fleet is not a joke. The Americans have sunk several fleets, and the two Soviet-class battleships they supported last time were also easily sunk by the Germans.

If they send a fleet to protect the Aleutian Islands, what if the German fleet really comes over? When the time comes, all of our family fortune will be completely ruined? After pondering for a long time, Stalin gave a vague answer. "I have to discuss this with others."

What a waste of discussion! Eisenhower cursed in his heart, you don’t have the final say on the entire Soviet Union, why do you need to discuss it with others? ! Are you sad that those battleships were sunk by the Germans? ! Don’t you guys know the difference between importance and importance? ! Can you defeat Germany with your few warships? !

Eisenhower knew it was useless to say anything, so he stood up and left. When I walked out of the office, there was a faint sound of continuous explosions overhead. It seemed that German bombers were coming to drop bombs again. "Damn it!" He hated Stalin more and more, and also the entire Soviet Union. He really wanted to leave for home immediately!
