Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

How to get them to surrender without landing on American soil?

Launching a "Battle of Hunger" against the United States? Let’s not talk about whether the long coastline and national borders of the United States can be completely blocked; the United States is different from island countries that need to import large amounts of food. It is the world’s largest food producer and exporter. Even if it can be trapped for decades, I'm afraid there won't be a famine either.

It seems that the only option is to use the nuclear egg, the ultimate killer?

It's just that Yannick listed the nuclear egg as a last resort and did not want to use this "Pandora's Box" until it was absolutely necessary.

And so far, there has been no movement in the Americans' "Manhattan Project."

In 1939 in the original time and space, President Roosevelt received an urgent letter from physicist Albert Einstein: "Physicists have recently discovered that uranium will become a new and important energy source... A large amount of uranium will be used to build Nuclear chain reactors, thus generating huge amounts of energy... This will guide the construction of the bomb... It will be very powerful. Such a single bomb, carried by a ship and exploded in a port, will destroy the entire port and its surrounding environment." Einstein suspected that Germany had started a "uranium project" with the aim of producing nuclear weapons for use in World War II.

Naturally, the United States was not to be outdone and formulated the "Manhattan Top Secret Project", which united famous scientists from all European countries except Germany at that time to conduct research. In addition to these more than 1,000 top scientists, there are more than 2,000 civilian personnel and more than 2,000 military scientists; as many as 500,000 people will be involved in related work at the peak of the plan. After these people worked tirelessly day and night, they finally successfully detonated the world's first atomic egg in July 1945.

However, this time due to Yannick's advance deployment (Chapter 343), most of the key figures, including Dr. Einstein, have long since passed away. Americans do not even have the concept of an atomic egg, let alone establish a research project. .

And Yannick looked down on the "primitive" atomic eggs that were big, bulky and inefficient. For example, the American "Little Boy" atomic egg is 3 meters long, weighs 4 tons, and contains 60 kilograms of uranium. As a result, when it exploded over Hiroshima, only about one kilogram of it produced nuclear fission in the explosion, and the energy released was approximately equal to 13,000 tons of TNT explosives. The remaining uranium was blown into pieces and scattered on the ground, without any effect (uranium-235 has a half-life of 700 million years, the nucleus is very stable, and uranium, as a heavy metal, is much more biologically toxic than its radiation toxicity). Ten years later, in 1956, the "Swan" atomic egg detonated by the United States in a nuclear test called "Operation Red Wing" weighed only 6 kilograms, was 58 centimeters long and 5 centimeters in diameter, but the explosion yield reached 15,000 Ton.

Now German scientists are overcoming the technical difficulties of miniaturizing atomic eggs.

Moreover, building a nuclear bomb is one thing, but how to deliver it is another project. After all, it is not enough to have nuclear weapons that can effectively detonate. If nuclear weapons are to truly have a deterrent effect, they must ensure that they can be delivered remotely and break through the enemy's air defense network.

Just imagine, if the island country in World War II in the original time and space had the ability to intercept the B-29, what would be the use of the nuclear egg created by the United States?

Similarly, even if the United States today builds a nuclear bomb, let alone whether there are mobile bombers that can carry it, even if it does, it will not be possible to approach the European continent. On the other hand, in Germany, various heavy bombers, such as ME-264, B-36, B-47, etc., can fly to the United States carrying nuclear eggs, and there are even B-52 Stratofortress bombers that have completed test flights.

This bomber is the successor to the B-36, the world's largest bomber. When it first came out, the machine was at the absolute leading level in the world in all aspects of performance. The bomb load can reach tens of tons, the longest range is more than 16,000 kilometers, and most of the world is within its strike range.

The most appropriate word to describe the B-52 is "it gets stronger with age".

In the long history of human weapon development, weapons in the cold weapon era have a very long service life. For example, bows and arrows have been used for thousands of years. However, since World War II, with the rapid development of human military technology, the service life of weapons has been decreasing year by year. There are only a handful of weapons that can be used for decades, and none that can last for hundreds of years.

This strategic bomber that was in service in the early 1950s has continued to serve for more than 60 years. Even when the later B-1B "Lancer" and B-2 "Phantom" bombers are about to be retired, the B-52 still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai. The U.S. Air Force has even launched a new service extension plan, preparing to keep the B-52 in service for more than 30 years, becoming the first strategic bomber in the history of the United States and the world to have a service life of more than 100 years.

At this time, a B-52 bomber taking off from Greenland flew over the continental United States.

"What?! Only one bomber?!" After receiving the report, Commander Arnold had an ominous premonition in his heart. Did the Germans develop another new bomber? Otherwise, how could one be sent here? !

Soon, his hunch was confirmed.

Because no German carrier-based aircraft were found to escort them, a group of P-51 fighter jets took off to respond to the enemy, only to see that the bomber overhead did not have a propeller! ! Moreover, the roar of this bomber was far more deafening than that of a propeller bomber.

"Oh God! How did it fly?!" This propeller-less bomber simply overturned their perceptions. Shocked, they immediately sent the news back to the rear.

"No propeller?" Arnold frowned deeply. "Is it a jet engine?"

The United States is the birthplace of aircraft. Although the aviation technology of later generations is at the top of the world, their development has not been smooth sailing. In the 1920s and 1930s, U.S. aviation technology lagged behind the established European powers for a long time.

When the original space-time jet age was just beginning to take shape, Americans did not pay much attention to this technology that seemed very whimsical at the time. However, after learning that Britain was conducting research on jet engines, General Arnold, the deputy chief of staff of the U.S. Army and commander of the Army Aviation Corps, went to visit and inspect it in person.

Arriving in England, General Arnold saw the Gloster E-28/39 jet aircraft and Frank Whittle W1 centrifugal jet engine, which were still extremely secretive at the time. The technology displayed by these two new pieces of equipment shocked General Arnold. He wrote in his diary that this technology "can throw all existing aircraft into the garbage heap!"

Although he didn't have the opportunity to see a jet aircraft with his own eyes at this time, he still heard about it. Without propellers, it could only be a jet aircraft.

"The Germans' jet engines have already been put into actual combat?!"

A deep sense of powerlessness spread in Commander Arnold's heart. The speed of development of German science and technology was simply unmatched. Can they still have a chance of winning this war?
