Chapter 40: The Pre-War Deployment of Sicily
"That's right! In the summer of 1942, in addition to ordering the development of new aircraft, tanks, and artillery, the Soviet Defense Committee also made a big decision to ask Soviet scientists to start developing an atomic bomb. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"They're now in Moscow preparing to build a new 'Laboratory 2', and Laboratory 1 is going to be built in Kharkiv, but now Kharkiv is still in our hands, but even so, they're already working on new cyclotrons, and they have an inorganic chemistry institute, and they're constantly holding secret seminars on nuclear fission and chain reactions!"
The U.S. military secretly established the "Manhattan" project management area in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and brought together more than 1,000 scientists from all over the world led by Oppenheimer, who still have about half a year to produce the first batch of enriched uranium-235 at the Oak Ridge plant! But if they want to make a real atomic bomb, I'm afraid they will need to use at least 100,000 people and invest $2.5 billion! ”
Chen Yanlong responded briefly.
"So many people and money! Yuan, Führer! What exactly is an atomic bomb? Isn't it amazing? ”
Morder said in surprise, his eyes wide.
"The atomic bomb is one of the nuclear weapons, which is a weapon of mass destruction that uses photothermal radiation, shock waves and induced radioactivity from nuclear reactions to cause lethal and destructive effects, as well as cause large-scale radioactive contamination to prevent the other side's military action to achieve strategic objectives. They are fission weapons made using the fission chain reaction principle of heavy atomic nuclei such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239. ”
"A 3-meter-long, 0.7-meter-diameter uranium bomb containing 60 kilograms of highly enriched uranium, weighing about 4 tons, and a TNT yield of 15,000 tons. If it is dropped into the air 580 meters above the ground and exploded, then under the action of its huge shock wave, the entire city can collapse all the buildings, and 7 to 80,000 people out of the city's more than 200,000 people can die in an instant, and even the total number of casualties can reach more than 200,000, and finally the city will be completely in ruins. ”
Chen Yanlong recalled that at 8:15 on August 6, 1945, the U.S. military used B-29 bombers in Hiroshima, Japan; And the documentary of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki City on August 9, which killed and injured many people, frowned and explained.
Hearing this, Modell's jaw of shock almost fell to the ground, and his eyes were as big as light bulbs, dumbfounded, incredulous, and couldn't believe it.
"Hmmm! Are you okay! Moder! What's the matter, I'm so surprised! ”
Looking at Modell's exaggerated, shocked, and shocked expression, Chen Yanlong gently waved his hand in front of the other party and said.
"No, me, I'm fine! It's just that I can't imagine that humans can make such powerful weapons! If the Soviet Army and the U.S. Army were to make such a lethal and terrifying weapon before us, then how could we fight with them, wouldn't we just wait to be blown up? ”
Modell gasped and shuddered, frightened.
"Hmmm! Yes! So you don't think we have much time to waste right now? ”
Chen Yanlong shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Yes! Monarch! Then I'll immediately send a reconnaissance team to the positions of the Soviet troops to conduct reconnaissance! ”
Moder immediately stood up and saluted.
"Hmmm! Go early and come back early! Then I'll go to your headquarters right now and give a phone call to Kessel first! ”
Chen Yanlong nodded and said.
"Yes! Monarch! I'll take you to the headquarters first, and then send a reconnaissance team to reconnoitre! ”
Modell agreed loudly.
Chen Yanlong stopped talking and nodded in response.
He then followed Moder to his headquarters, ready to call Kesselring.
The reason why Chen Yanlong called Kesselina again at this time was because he knew very well that the battle of Tunisia would be over in a few days.
Regardless of whether Kesselring could save the 130,000 German troops besieged on the Cape de Bonne Peninsula, he was now about to fight the impending Battle of Sicily; to make a pre-war deployment, because he was to be in Sicily as much as possible; Or even to consume a large amount of the living forces of the Anglo-American allies in order to buy a little more time for themselves to reorganize Germany! Of course, it is also for him to get more energy points, and he can exchange weapons and equipment in the "World Ace Weapon Exchange Mall"; Otherwise, he wouldn't have been inexplicable and suddenly proposed to come to the front line with Moder to command the battle!
Because his purpose is to get a large number of energy points to exchange for weapons and equipment.
In fact, if it is not the shopping mall system of the cheating father, the owner must be in a place where there is a war, or in an area near the battlefield; If he can collect the energy points of those dead and wounded, then he will not risk coming to the front line if he is killed.
Although he was also a special forces soldier in his previous life, he has also experienced many different types of war scenes.
But after he left the army and began to write online novels, his bloody nature and impulsiveness as a soldier gradually decreased; It has become a civilian day that prefers some peace and happiness.
"What should I say?"
Standing in front of the telephone, Chen Yanlong was thinking about how to give Kesselring the pre-war deployment order and muttered to himself.
After thinking about it for a while, he still called Kesselring's personal phone in Italy.
"Hey! I'm Kessel, the one? ”
After the phone was connected, Kesselring's loud voice immediately entered Chen Yanlong's eardrums and said.
"It's me! Kesselring! ”
Chen Yanlong replied lightly.
"Ahh Yuan, Führer! ”
After hearing this, Kesselring chuckled in his heart and said uneasily.
Because Kessellin, who had just been scolded for less than a day, didn't know why Chen Yanlong called him again so quickly; Hasn't he scolded him enough, but still has to punish him.
Well! All right! In short, Kesselring at this moment, like an ant on a hot nest, was irritable, anxious, and restless.
"According to the latest information I have received from the Ministry of Intelligence, the Anglo-American allies intend to send a large army to attack Sicily after the end of the Tunisian campaign; So I'm going to let you take Herman? the Goering and 15th Panzer Divisions, the 16th Panzer Division, and the 1st Panzer Division; There are also Italian ace mechanized divisions, as well as two Italian field armies, about 300,000 troops! All deployed in Sicily for defense! At the same time, I want you to build a large number of anti-landing defensive positions in Sicily, and I will give the Anglo-American allies a big bloodletting in Sicily! ”
"Of course, in order to achieve my goal, I will also find another way to send you 8 more divisions, or 13 divisions, to Sicily for future defensive warfare within a month!"
After thinking for a while, Chen Yanlong made up his mind.
"Ahh What the! Führer, are you telling the truth? ”
Kesselring exclaimed in surprise and surprise.
"Of course it's true!"
Chen Yanlong was very sure.
"Thank you! Monarch! I will not allow the Anglo-American allies to take Sicily! And Italy! ”
Kesselring replied cheerfully and in high spirits.
"Hmmm! Then go for it! All you have to do is put all your mind on the upcoming battle of Sicily, and find a way to save me a little more Imperial soldiers besieged in the Bang Kao Peninsula in the next few days, and as for Italy, I may send Rommel to command 8 armored divisions and 4 infantry divisions into Italy! ”
Chen Yanlong said with satisfaction and earnestness.
"Ahh What the! Why did he send Rommel to station troops in Italy? ”
Kesselring was shocked.
Of course, his surprise was also a little envy and jealousy, and Rommel, who had been refrigerated for a while, could still be reused, and it was still for him to lead so many troops into Italy.
"Quite simply, first because Mussolini is very old, his energy is not very good, and he is about to lose his own life! According to the information received by my secret intelligence group, the Italian royal family and his sons-in-law, as well as many high-ranking Italian generals; and the Church, as well as the Jews and others, organized to prepare for the secret arrest of the Anglo-American allies once they captured Sicily; Carry out a coup d'état, remove him from power and remove him from the post of prime minister! ”
Chen Yanlong was silent for a moment before explaining.
"What!"
When Kesselring heard this, his eyes widened at once, and he stared at how big he was; At the same time, the whole person trembled, and exclaimed loudly in disbelief.
