Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

#223 - Raiders

Sword's Edge World, Winter 1943.

Great Britain.

A village near a small town called Roman Hill in the north was heavily guarded.

Since a Rogue Eagle unit moved in three days ago, access has been blocked.

General George from the Rogue Eagles took over the management of the entire town, leading a regiment to control the key transportation points.

"General George, Rostov has been cleared." Lottom, the local municipal officer from John Bull, reported to General George's temporary headquarters with his assistant.

As the local municipal officer, Lottom felt quite aggrieved. If General George didn't have instructions from the Prime Minister's Office, Lottom really wouldn't want to cater to General George's demanding requests—to relocate nearly a thousand residents from the Rostov port area to other places for temporary residence.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lottom. I express my sincere gratitude for the active cooperation of the local residents of Rostov. Believe me, the residents' efforts will yield great rewards. However, I cannot explain the real reason to you at this time, as this is a highly classified military secret," General George thanked Lottom.

"General George, this is what we should do. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Lottom was somewhat unimpressed with General George's secretive approach. As allies, he didn't like such secrecy.

But since his superiors had instructed him to cooperate with General George, Lottom could only obey.

"That's enough, Mr. Lottom. Now it's our turn," General George said.

Once they left, several transport ships waiting at the dock immediately began busy unloading operations.

One trailer after another, carrying tightly wrapped items, emerged from the hold of the tank landing ships.

From another transport ship, engineering vehicles such as tractors and cranes came out one after another, heading onto the port.

A frantic work mode began on the open space near the port.

As the project was completed, it became clear that the items dragged out of the tank landing ships by the trailers were being erected one after another!

These were the Dongfeng Express first-generation products that the Rogue Eagles had exchanged for from Ren Zhong!

The Rogue Eagles had produced 50 of these this time, preparing to launch an attack on the German Reich's hinterland from Rostov.

From Hamburg, Bremen, Hanover, and Wolfsburg in the north, to Essen, Hesse, Cologne, and Mannheim in the central and southern regions, 12 ordnance factory targets carefully selected by underground organizations would become the first targets of the Dongfeng Express first-generation products.

After some preparation, 50 Dongfeng Express missiles soared into the sky, flying directly towards their targets.

Considering the product's error range, each target was assigned a multiple attack mode of 3-5 missiles, based on the perceived importance of the target, to ensure coverage!

The Rogue Eagles' mathematicians and physicists had found the circular error probable (CEP) of the Dongfeng Express first-generation products from the test data, thereby designing the number of missiles to be launched for different targets based on their hit probability value.

Now was the time to test the accuracy of these designs.

Within a one-kilometer radius of the target area, at least two directions were concealed with Allied underground organization members who risked their lives to approach and observe the strike effects.

The first Dongfeng Express hit its target in Essen. Three Dongfeng Express missiles arrived almost simultaneously, landing within a one-kilometer radius of the target coordinates, inflicting devastating damage on a tank factory there.

From the observed situation, underground intelligence workers reported that the vast majority of the factory area was destroyed by the massive explosion!

The huge explosion could be clearly heard and seen within a few kilometers in the local area.

Since the local residents had never encountered such an attack and had no aerial warning, the news of being attacked in their hinterland by a huge, mysterious weapon that had never been discovered almost instantly caused panic in the local area, thanks to the deliberate spread and guidance of underground intelligence personnel!

According to the information on the leaflets, this was a new type of Allied weapon that could launch strikes from thousands of miles away. The power of a single missile was enough to destroy a building. If this mysterious Allied weapon were aimed at urban residential areas, the entire city would be turned into ruins under its attack!

It was everyone's disaster!

The Dongfeng Express's first appearance, its killing power, quickly transmitted back to the Allied intelligence department through radio waves from the eyes of frontline intelligence personnel.

Immediately following, the second and third targets were covered and struck one by one. Although the observed effects showed that the deviation of some targets was a bit large, 10 out of 12 targets were severely damaged!

This proved that the algorithms of the mathematicians and physicists had considerable accuracy, achieving the expected goals in the first wave of 50 precision strikes on the scene.

This amazing result invigorated the Allied high command. Compared to sending out air force bombing, this precision strike completely surpassed high-altitude bombing.

Most importantly, such an attack was completely one-sided. The Allied side was certain that the German Third Reich had no way to effectively defend against it at this stage.

The speed of the rocket far exceeded that of warplanes, and it was also very difficult to provide early warning through radar. It could be said to come without a shadow, striking quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly!

The Allied side established a long-range rocket strike cluster, and General George transformed into the commander of the first Rocket Force in this space-time.

As the base for the first wave of attacks, Rostov was designated as a long-term military base, and a series of air defense facilities began to be deployed around it.

Before the surrender of the Third Reich, the Allied forces decided to launch a large-scale, continuous, long-range strike against the Third Reich, targeting its military facilities and factories.

As a prerequisite for the strike, local underground intelligence work needed to conduct prior reconnaissance and accurate latitude and longitude measurements.

Given the current situation, this was a difficult task, but it did not stump the Allied intelligence support system. They quickly disseminated accurate latitude and longitude measurement methods and tools through the underground intelligence network, reaching key areas within the Third Reich and even along the entire European coastline.

Meanwhile, production lines for the first-generation Dongfeng Express rocket were established in the Rogue Eagle Federation and Great Britain, and production capacity quickly exploded to over 1,000 units per month!

A long-term rocket strike plan was initiated.

The experts of the Third Reich were not to be outdone. By analyzing the traces of explosions and eyewitness reports, they quickly analyzed and reconstructed the first mysterious attacks, arriving at an almost accurate conclusion.

That was that the Allied forces had developed a new type of rocket weapon!

Throughout the vast sky, warplanes emitting thick smoke and flames fell into the sea and onto the ground everywhere!

The Allied and Third Reich air forces entered a state of brutal, extreme combat.

At the same time, the A-series rocket research team began to enter a 007 work mode, preparing to desperately catch up with the Allied forces.

In this unprecedented war on Blue Star, the development of various technologies was also unprecedented. The war stimulated the invention and application of a large number of technologies that had never appeared before on the battlefield.

In the Borderlands, Ren Zhong paid no attention to the enormous impact that his disseminated technology had brought to the Third Reich.

General George's rocket strike force had become a surprise force in Europe, beginning to influence the war situation.

But all of this, as far as Ren Zhong was concerned, was currently unknown.

However, when disseminating this technology, Ren Zhong had thought that with the Rogue Eagle Federation's industrial base, the Third Reich would be in great distress facing Dongfeng Express.

Since the Dongfeng Express technology was a generation more advanced than the V2 rocket, even if the Third Reich prematurely produced the V2 rocket, in the mutual harm of the rockets, Ren Zhong felt that the Third Reich's losses would be far greater than those of the Allied forces.

However, these things did not need to be considered by Ren Zhong.

The node ability of a single technology to influence history depended on who owned the technology. For the Rogue Eagle Federation, Ren Zhong's technology clearly had a magnifying glass effect, and the damage to the Third Reich was far greater than the damage Misty Capital had suffered in the historical timeline.

This would undoubtedly accelerate the entire war process.

It just wasn't visible yet.

Ren Zhong was not afraid of the Rogue Eagle Federation getting the first-generation Dongfeng Express technology, because he was full of confidence in the progress of the second-generation Dongfeng Express.

Sure enough, three months later, while significant progress was being made in the design of the second-generation Dongfeng Express, the perfected version of the first generation—the Dongfeng Express 1A, which had been replaced with the latest generation of propellant and the main world's precision gyroscope navigation equipment—already possessed a long-range strike capability of 900 kilometers.

According to theoretical calculations, the maximum range of the Dongfeng 1A could reach over 910 kilometers.

After several test firings, the latest Dongfeng 1A's circular error probability, extended to 500 kilometers in the experiment, had been reduced to a range of 1000 meters!

This error range had already given the Dongfeng 1A a new combat capability.

In response, Ren Zhong began to provide 100 sets of main-world gyroscopes for the Dongfeng 1A, preparing to produce 100 units for actual use.

Among the combat targets Ren Zhong chose, the first to bear the brunt was the Little Devils' airport in North China.

For this very clear target, Ren Zhong could accurately measure the latitude and longitude range of the Bright Sword World airport by using modern mobile phone navigation for archaeological research in the main world.

Compared to the Bright Sword World's latitude and longitude measurements, Ren Zhong's method had an error of meters. The measurement error in the Bright Sword World was at least 150 meters or more.

This was the deviation brought about by technological limitations, and no one in the Bright Sword World could improve it any further.

For the Borderlands, the new rocket force, although currently dormant, had also become a surprise force in their hands.
