Chapter 66 The first step in bombing Tokyo (first update, please collect)
  [-] tons!
  Two hundred thousand tons!

Can all of Japan be submerged in "Agent Orange"?

Li Yian didn't know, but he knew exactly what he should do.

As a Chinese, how could we not contribute our own modest contribution to this war?
  "It seems a little difficult!"

Standing in front of the large world map in the study, Li Yi'an frowned. From time to time, he used a ruler to measure the distance between the islands and Japan.

"In the end, we still need to capture the Mariana Islands..."

Once again, Li Yian sighed helplessly, and then looked at the photos of bombers pinned on a map.

That's a photo of a B29 long-range bomber.

A few months ago, high-speed production of the B29 long-range bomber started as soon as it rolled off the production line.

The B29 bomber is the only long-range bomber that can bomb the Japanese mainland. But even with the B29, bombing the Japanese mainland is still difficult.

In order to achieve this goal, while the U.S. military implemented island hopping tactics in the Pacific and continued to approach Japan's inner defense circle, in order to bomb Japan, they formulated a plan code-named "Madahorn": using Chengdu, China as an advance base—— 2340 kilometers away from Kyushu, the B29 bomber replenished fuel and ammunition at the Chengdu base, went to Japan for bombing, and returned to Chengdu to land after the operation.

Every drop of fuel they added in Chengdu and every ton of bombs they loaded were transported from India by the China-U.S. Joint Air Force flying over the "Hump Route." According to later calculations, dropping one ton of bombs on the Japanese from Chengdu required the transportation of [-] tons of various materials, and the transportation of these materials largely squeezed out aid to China.

"80% of the "Hump Route" capacity is used to transport materials for bombing Japan, while materials to aid China have been reduced to a minimum..."

Why did the Americans spend such a high cost to bomb Japan?
  The apparent reason was for revenge, but in fact it was to build momentum for Roosevelt's election - Roosevelt needed to use the bombing of Japan to prove to the Americans that he was sparing no effort to attack Japan!
  But who bears all the costs?

Japan did not pay the price, it was China - the construction of Chengdu Airport squeezed out China's already nearly exhausted military expenditures, squeezing a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and prioritized the transportation of materials to ensure bombing, which also led to insufficient arms transportation to aid China.
  In short, for Americans, the "Madahorn Plan" is almost a show, and the cost of the show is borne by China.

"This time, I can't let you get what you want..."

Talking to himself like this, Li Yian once again turned his attention to the vast Pacific Ocean. Compared with Chengdu, bombing Japan from the Pacific Ocean was the best choice.

"This will have to wait until 45 years..."

Staring at the Mariana Islands on the map, it was not until the US military occupied the Mariana Islands in 45 that the B-29s that bombed Japan had a more suitable forward base. Before that, Chengdu seemed to be the only choice.

However, this choice... is inherently inadequate!

Standing in front of the map, Li Yian used a line to draw a circle with Tokyo as the radius, and then...

The problem is back to the beginning.

Except for China, there are no suitable take-off and landing locations within 2500 kilometers.

"damn it……"

With his brows furrowed, Li Yian reluctantly dropped the pencil in his hand and stood in front of the map, staring at it.

The howling cold wind outside the window was mixed with some snowflakes, turning the ground white. A car stopped on the side of the road. Heidi Rama, who got out of the car, glanced at the study where the lights were still on.

"What is he doing?"

After coming to New York, although Heidi has been living here, in fact, the two of them have not had much contact because Heidi spent most of her time in the radio laboratory.

Despite this, she became more and more curious about this man, because he was different from other people. If it were any man living with her, he would definitely do everything possible to please her, enter her boudoir, and crawl into her bed. .

But what about him?
  To him, she...seems like she doesn't exist!
  Although the two live under the same roof, they haven't seen each other for almost half a month.

When passing by the study, Heidi looked at the man through the half-open door. He seemed to be thinking about something in front of the map.

After thinking for a while, Heidi took the initiative to knock on the door and asked. “It’s so late and you haven’t rested yet?”

The sound at the door made Li Yian startled, and he turned to look at Heidi. Only then did he remember that there was a tenant living in his home.

"Aren't you the same? You just came back from the laboratory?"

"Yes, what are you looking at?"

Walking into the study, looking at the circles drawn on the map and the targets pointed by several red lines, Heidi immediately understood what the man was planning.

"Tokyo...well, are you thinking about how to bomb Tokyo?"

"It's just random thoughts. It's not easy to bomb Tokyo. It's too far away from Tokyo. The Pacific Ocean... is really too vast."

Li Yian sighed helplessly, then pointed to the wine cabinet and said.

"Want a drink?"

"Have a drink."

Heidi nodded, and when Li Yian walked towards the wine cabinet, she walked to the map, looked at the location marked on the map, and said softly.

"Your place seems to have become the general's military staff."

"It's just business,"

Li Yian came over with a wine glass and said.

"KTJ Chemical's products require bombers to fly to Japan. Only in this way can the military increase purchases. At this point, the interests of the military and I are common."

Taking the wine glass, Heidi smiled and asked.

"It seems that there is no suitable airport to proceed to?"

"The distance is too far, 2500 kilometers. At this time, the combat radius of the new bomber. At this distance, there is no suitable base for the bomber to take off and land."

Heidi said after taking a sip of wine.

"If there is no suitable airport, is there any way to make the plane fly further?"

Heidi's rhetorical question made Li Yian smile.

"It's that easy. Just reduce some weight, add fuel, and fly an extra two to three hundred kilometers. It's difficult to fly any further. But if you want to bomb Japan, you need to increase the combat radius by more than a thousand kilometers." It’s possible, it’s just possible.”

Add another thousand kilometers and take off from where?
  When this idea came to Li Yian's mind, Heidi said as if she had thought of something.

"What if aerial refueling is used? Before the war, I had seen such a performance."

Heidi's suggestion made Li Yian shout excitedly.

"Yes, yes, it's aerial refueling, aerial refueling, yes, yes, that's it, but what kind of performance are you talking about?"
