Chapter 1707 (1/2)

”Deng Deng Deng.” The pedal sewing machine made a dull sound. The sewing needle on the head shook up and down to nail the two pieces of thick cloth together.

Under the sewing machine, there is already a large pile of silk cloth. The female worker's legs keep stepping on the pedal below to sew the silk cloth.

”Well, it's done.” Said the female worker.

This is just an ordinary house. After the female workers have finished, they fold these silk fabrics in half and put them at the door. Outside, a cyclist is collecting the sewn finished products door to door.

This is the industrial model of the island country.

In other countries, it is in the form of factories. A large number of workers carry out production operations in factories, but in island countries, it is still a situation of small manual workshops.

Even for aircraft manufacturing, it is also a manual workshop, which takes tasks from the aircraft factory, takes them back to their own home, makes various parts, and then sends them to the factory for final assembly.

Therefore, when the United States bombed the island countries in the late World War II, the effect was not good at the beginning. It was useless to bomb their factories, because the parts were produced below. They just had to find a suitable place for general assembly.

The female worker sent away the silk cloth and looked at the picture hanging next to the sewing machine. There, a young boy was smiling and looked very big in his military uniform.

Damn war, when will it end!

”We have made a hundred balloons.” On this day, on the beach in Tokyo, the sun was soft and the sea breeze gently blew everyone's clothes. Hideki Arakawa looked at the balloon on the beach and said, ”the order has been issued. The flying elephant operation officially began. The first attack on the United States was carried out by us. There will be two of us in the history of the island country.”

This attack using balloons, code named operation flying elephant, if the first batch is very successful, the country will mobilize everyone, even middle school students, to catch up with balloons and release tens of thousands of balloons to the United States.

The height adjustment device was tested very smoothly and succeeded in almost one day. Then, it was the first blow.

With his order, the workers started. Next to each balloon, there was a steel cylinder. They docked the cylinder with the balloon. Soon, the deflated balloon began to drum up.

The whole beach has become an ocean of balloons.

”Timer, set 69 hours.” Arakawa Xiujun continued to shout.

In addition to the height keeping device designed by him, another is timing. If there is no limit, the balloon does not know how many times it will fly around the earth. It must fly over the United States before it can be dropped and exploded. This requires timing.

Timing is also a simple mechanical device. Just adjust the knob above.

As the balloon gradually became drum and flew up slowly, the hanging basket below was also supported. If there was no tension of the rope of the wooden pile on the beach, it would fly away directly.

”Balloon 1 is ready.”

”Balloon 2 is ready.”

…

”Let go!” Arakawa shouts loudly.
