s: Please vote for support Moscow, Kremlin, March 23, 1942, AD 2783.
Since last week, beloved Comrade Stalin, the "loving father of all the peoples of the Soviet Union" has been in a bad mood.
Because Comrade Stalin was in a bad mood, the entire Kremlin was under a dark cloud, and even the whole of Moscow was in a bad mood.
The reason is simple, because the heroic and invincible Soviet Red Army encountered a little trouble on the battlefield in Central Africa.
The Sudanese front army led by General Vasilevsky was driven back to North Sudan from the Shari River by US imperialism, and the gains of several months were wiped out.
There is nothing we can do about it.
Anyone who encounters the unfortunate event of "returning to the pre-liberation period overnight" will never feel better.
"There are no problems with Comrade Stalin and Comrade Vasilevsky's command.
This is entirely because the imperialist weapons are more advanced than ours.
The quality and courage of the Red Army commanders and fighters are the best.
Our defeat this time was only due to technical issues."
"far away" Of course, the only person who dared to persuade Stalin in this way at this time was the "Prince of the Kremlin", the Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet Air Force, Comrade Andrei Nikolayevich Prenyakov, the Air Force Commander.
Comrade Prenyakov was originally commanding operations in Egypt.
This time he heard bad news in Moscow and Comrade Stalin was furious, so he came back specially.
"Well, I know, little Andrei.
Vasilevsky is an unlucky guy.
I also know that he is unlucky.
The damn imperialists" saw this "son" rushing back from Egypt in a dusty state, Stalin looked a little better.
"Little Andre, if it weren't for your command this time, we might not even be able to defend North Sudan.
That kind of bomb is really terrible."
When Comrade Stalin thought of the terrible cloud bomb, he felt bad. .
In order to show off their results and shock the Soviet Union and Germany, the Americans released the live video of the battle all over the world, and the Soviet Union naturally saw it.
To be honest, Stalin was a little frightened by the huge fireball produced when the giant cloud bomb exploded in the film, and the towering mushroom cloud after the explosion.
After watching this movie, he quickly drank a bottle of vodka to calm his shock.
This time, it was thanks to Prenyakov commanding the Air Force to form a solid air defense line that successfully intercepted all American bombers carrying cloudburst bombs.
Otherwise, the Soviets might have to retreat to Egypt.
This is also because the Yankees' cloud explosive bombs are too big.
The smallest ones weigh 3,000 pounds and 136 tons.
They cannot be carried by light aircraft.
Only large bombers can carry them.
But even a large bomber, once equipped with such a bomb, its maneuverability becomes almost that of a turtle.
Facing Soviet jet fighters and overwhelming anti-air rockets, it has no resistance at all.
It's completely like giving away someone's head.
Now with the strong support of the air force, Maozi has finally stabilized his position, but what to do next is a problem.
To be honest, the Soviets were psychologically affected by that kind of bomb.
Without countermeasures, Stalin would not have dared to order the attack to continue.
North Sudan now has enough air force fighter jets to protect it, but if the attack continues, only a few fighter jets will be able to reach it.
Jet aircraft have very high requirements for field airports.
Besides, the logistics of the Soviet Union's campaign in Africa now relies entirely on supplies from the Ethiopian-Sudan railway.
This railway did not exist in the original time and space, but in this dimension, in order to prevent German penetration into British East Africa and to increase its operational capacity, the United Kingdom planned this railway from Cairo, Egypt to Nyala, Sudan.
Construction of this railway started in February 1925 and was basically completed before the outbreak of World War II.
With this railway, Britain's control over eastern Africa was greatly strengthened.
But the British themselves did not enjoy the convenience of this railway for long before they were kicked out by the Soviets.
However, this railway is not perfect and currently can only reach Nyala.
It is still more than 300 to 400 kilometers away from the border with Chad.

Without railways, it would be difficult for the Soviet Union to ensure supply to the front line.
The development of Africa in this dimension is much more advanced than in the original time and space, especially infrastructure such as railways, roads, bridges, and culverts.
It is much more abundant and better than Africa in the early 21st century in the original time and space.
Because of the situation on this plane, the great powers have much more thoughts about Africa and naturally have more investment.
In order to increase their control over Africa, the great powers all invariably spent money to overhaul infrastructure such as railways and roads.
Otherwise, with the tragic infrastructure of the original time and space, the warring parties would not be able to play such a big role in Africa.
But even so, compared with Europe, Asia and the United States, Africa's basic conditions are still relatively weak.
For example, the only main road currently used by the Soviet Union to maintain supply to the Sudan front line is the Ethiopia-Sudan railway.
Now it is already very tight to ensure the supply of hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line.
If we want to increase the number of airports that can take off and land jets, we must also use this railway to transport supplies, which will exceed the limit.
So now the Soviet Union is unable to build more high-quality airports for the front line for a while.
It's not that they can't build them, but they can't deliver things.
But under the threat of cloud bombs from the United States, how can the Army kill people without air cover?
"Comrade Stalin, this kind of bomb is not mysterious, you don't have to worry."
Plenyakov said confidently: "The great Soviet is also developing this kind of bomb.
As far as I know, it has been completed not long ago. got the sample” "Oh, really?"
Comrade Stalin suddenly stood up.
Great joy filled his body.
"It is the result of the Air Force Weapons Research Institute" "Yes, Comrade Stalin is a credit to the comrades at the Air Force Weapons Research Institute," Prenyakov said with a smile.
The Air Force Weapons Research Institute is a research institution directly under the jurisdiction of Pren Yakov.
It is also a large research institution that cannot be found in the original time and space.
Because there was no such person as "Prunyakov" in the Soviet Union in the original time and space, who was known as "the most genius general in the Soviet Union" and "the all-powerful deputy leader".
Yes, this Air Force Weapons Research Institute is a research institution tailor-made by Comrade Stalin for his "son".
Its work is directly under the guidance of Prenyakov, and no other departments have the right to interfere.
Even Comrade Stalin didn't know much about what was going on inside.
Anyway, it would surprise him from time to time, such as jet fighters and heavy bombers whose performance was not inferior to that of British and American imperialism and German and Japanese revisionism. , missiles and aerial bombs.
How do you think it compares to the stuff from Zhongxiu?
Uh, can we not mention Zhongxiu?
In addition to these weapons, there are submarines and tanks, and even civilian products such as razors and all-in-one potato harvesters.
Uh, yes, there are submarines and tanks.
Although its name is "Air Force Weapons Research Institute", its business scope includes the army, navy and air force, as well as civilian equipment.
In the afternoon of the same day, Comrade Stalin, accompanied by Air Force Commander Prenyakov, inspected the "Air Force Weapons Research Institute" located on the outskirts of Ivanovo, northeast of Moscow.
The next day, at the explosive weapons test site on Novaya Zemlya, a fireball and mushroom cloud more than 100 meters high rose.
Stalin was sitting on a Tu-5 command plane watching this experiment.
When the huge fireball and mushroom cloud appeared, the face of this "loving father of all peoples" swept away the clouds for many days and showed a child-like smile. .
"Comrade Stalin, according to test data, compared with similar products produced by U.S. imperialism, our AB-1 bomb is 20 times more lethal," Korolev, director of the Air Force Weapons Research Institute, reported excitedly.
"Hahahahaha, little Andrei, you have made great contributions to the Soviet Union again."
He happily patted his "son" on the shoulder and praised him profusely.
"This is the result of the joint efforts of comrades," Prenyakov said modestly.
"But it was Comrade Deputy Commander-in-Chief who directly gave us directions, otherwise it would not have been so fast."
Korolev gave the boss a nudge from the side.
Of course, Korolev is not flattering.
The Air Force Weapons Research Institute is indeed working under the direct guidance of Comrade Deputy Commander-in-Chief.
Many of their achievements were made under the prompts, inspiration, and even direct command of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief. .
For example, the cloud bomb in front of me is like this.

However, these things that make people from all walks of life in the Soviet Union shine are nothing to Prenyakov.
He still has a lot of things that he has not yet come up with.
The principle of thermobaric bombs is actually very simple, just the concept of dust explosion.
It is cheap and easy to make.
All you need to do is give the following researchers tips on which raw materials to use and constantly test different combustion agent formula ratios and dispersion concentrations.
So after he invested a lot of manpower and material resources, this thing developed very quickly.
After more than a year of development, the Soviet Union's fuel-air bomb has now become practical.
Although the Soviet Union's fuel-air bombs came out a little later, due to Prenyakov's suggestions, the products were more advanced, and products of the same level were more powerful than the Yankees.
Of course, there was not just one cloud burst bomb tested this time.
Under the guidance of Comrade Prenyakov, the Soviet Union produced many types of cloud burst bombs at once, including aircraft bombs, artillery shells, mines and even naval gun shells.
Next, a series of cloud bomb experiments were conducted, and fireballs and mushroom clouds of various sizes appeared from time to time on Novaya Zemlya.
Comrade Stalin's face turned red.
After several days of experiments, Korolev reported to Stalin: "Comrade Stalin, according to our many experimental data, the best way to use fuel-air bombs is to use them in caves, houses, etc.
Only in a closed or semi-closed space can it be fully effective.
If it is on flat ground, its destructive radius is actually similar to that of a heavy bomb, and may even be shorter.
Although the fireball of a general bomb is not as large as a thermobaric bomb, the destructive flight of the shrapnel is still there.
The distance is quite long.”
When this kind of thermobaric bomb is thrown down, the scene is indeed very impressive, with huge fireballs and mushroom clouds.
However, outside the destruction radius of its pressure front, the effect is actually not very good.
Although it has the effect of burning off oxygen, the air will flow.
A thermobaric bomb will burn the nearby oxygen and create a low-pressure area, and the air will be replenished within a few minutes.
And even if you haven't learned to swim or practiced swimming, you won't die if you hold your breath for a few minutes.
Unless a large number of thermobaric bombs are dropped at once to burn out all the oxygen in the vicinity, the central area will have a suffocating effect caused by the air not having time to replenish.
But thermobaric bombs have one advantage that bombs cannot match, which is curved lethality.
Generally, when a bomb explodes, its shrapnel moves forward in a straight line, so lying down or hiding in a trench, foxhole, or other place has a high chance of escaping harm.
Therefore, in trenches and fortifications, where there are anti-gun holes, the power of bombs will be greatly reduced.
Unless it is a direct hit or a close-range bomb, the effect will be insignificant.
But it would be different if it were replaced by thermobaric bombs.
Its main damage is based on temperature and shock wave pressure front, which can turn and drill holes, and its power and penetration are much higher than bombs.
For example, the shrapnel of a general 1,000 kilogram bomb can fly to a distance of 100 to 150 meters in an open area and still be lethal.
But if the target is hiding in a trench, unless the impact point is within 20 meters, nothing will happen.
On the other hand, a one-ton thermobaric bomb with a killing radius of 100 meters in an open field has a killing radius of about 6,080 meters, even if the target is hiding in a trench.
And if it explodes in a cave or tunnel, the frontal killing distance of the thermobaric bomb will not be reduced, but will increase dramatically because the shock wave energy is concentrated in several specific directions.
In other words, if there is little difference in the lethality between ordinary bombs and thermobaric bombs in open areas, when placed in trench fortification areas, the gap in the lethality radius between the two sides will immediately become 68 times.
The killing area is the square of the radius, which is 3664 times.
This is the greatest value of thermobaric bombs.
"This is already very good."
Stalin smiled and nodded.
Although compared with the spectacular fireball and mushroom cloud, the actual effect of the thermobaric bomb is not so proportional.
But we all know that Comrade Stalin is good at this.
He likes anything that looks majestic, like super battleships, land cruiser class multi-turret tanks, well, the latter has been cancelled.
Weapons with a strong sense of spectacle and visual impact, such as thermobaric bombs, were simply tailor-made for Comrade Stalin.
Of course he was happy.
What should you do if you say the effect is not as good as expected?
It doesn't matter if one pill is not enough, just throw in a few more.

If the small ones don't work, just use the larger ones.
What's so difficult about this.
"Great, we also have this kind of thing, and American and British imperialism are no longer a concern."
Stalin was very happy, and it was his style to hate until the end of the night.
That afternoon, he organized his men to discuss launching a counterattack and seek revenge.
That night, a blue-green laser beam invisible to the human eye suddenly emitted from the top of a statue of a knight in a residential area for senior officials in Moscow.
It mixed with the noisy red dust and shot out into space.
