Chapter 1270: Great news
Hersman left the intelligence command center and returned to his office. His personal secretary, Natalie, waited there www.biquge.info saw Hersman push the door in, and immediately called him in advance to call the hotline of the Prime Minister's Office.
"It's Mr. Hitler himself," said Natalie, handing the receiver to Hersmann, smiling, "and it's great news." ”
"Great news?" Hersman raised an eyebrow, already understanding what was happening.
"Adolf?" Hersman took the receiver, "I'm Hirschman. ”
"Ludwig," Hitler's voice came out of the receiver of the telephone, "we have won, this time for real...... I just got a call from Mussolini telling me that the Americans have agreed to accept all the terms of peace and that we have won! The war is over! The United States of Europe is really going to be formed now! ”
It seems that the effect of the explosion of three atomic bombs under water is still very good! Hersman said: However, the reparations of 500 billion euro marks seem to be a little less, and 1,000 billion must be given anyway, and the Canadian people must also get rid of the colonial rule of US imperialism......
"That's great," Hersman thought to himself, "but we can't cease fire right now." ”
"Can't ceasefire?" Hitler looked a little surprised, "Ludwig, what more do you want?" Do you want to increase the amount of compensation? It's okay to have nothing to do with a ceasefire, right? ”
"It's not a matter of discussing the amount of compensation yet." Hirschman did not deny it, saying, "Adolf, I mean we can't have an unconditional ceasefire. If the Americans want a ceasefire, they must hand over the Avalonian Peninsula. ”
The Avalon Peninsula is the most important part of Newfoundland, home to Naval Fort Churchill and several large air bases, as well as several deep-water ports, including St. John's, the largest port on the island.
If the European coalition could take control of Avalon, they would be able to deploy three atomic bomber groups there, putting all of the most prosperous areas of the northeastern United States under the deterrence of German nuclear weapons.
"We certainly can't have an unconditional cease-fire," Hitler agreed, "and if they were really sincere, they would have agreed to our terms of a cease-fire." ”
Hersman smiled, "If they don't agree, we can also take the Avalon Peninsula, and it won't really cost much." ”
"No hassle?" Hitler asked, "But the terrain there is quite dangerous." ”
"There is no problem, at least the Churchill naval fortress will soon be occupied by us." Hersman said.
"Really?" Hitler on the other end of the line didn't seem convinced, "That's a very strong naval fortress...... What are we going to do to occupy it? Is special forces used? ”
"No, not with special forces, with Harold. Marshal Alexander. Hersmann told Hitler, "He will find a way to take the Churchill naval fortress, which is after all a fortress belonging to the British Royal Navy." ”
After all, Newfoundland is a territory of the British Empire, and nominally does not even belong to Canada (historically, Newfoundland only joined Canada in 1949), so the US military must pretend to respect the sovereignty of the British Empire while stationing it. Therefore, the most important naval fortress on the island of Newfoundland (built by the Americans) was handed over to the British. But now that the atomic bombs had exploded in Concepson Bay, the United States was ready to accept all the peace terms offered by Germany - which amounted to conditional surrender. What reason did the British soldiers in Churchill Fortress have to abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Even if they were to fight for Canada's freedom and democracy, Newfoundland was not part of Canada's Dominion.
Moreover, the Germans still have atomic bombs to use to scare people, and the British, who are guarding the Churchill naval fortress, are not obliged to carry the atomic bombs for the Americans, right?
"Well, then," Hitler already understood Hersmann's thoughts, "then I'll tell Mussolini this condition...... Is that okay? ”
"Okay," Hersman replied in the affirmative, "just say that the Avalon Peninsula is a guarantee of a ceasefire...... Don't talk about other requirements, don't mention the matter of compensation. Now we should disarm them mentally, just as we did in 1918. ”
What Hersman means is to coax the United States to surrender its guns first, and then slowly rectify it! As long as they can take the Avalon Peninsula and deploy the atomic bomber brigade there, what room will the Americans have for resistance?
"Okay, okay, that's all!" Adolph. Hitler hung up the phone, but instead of immediately calling the hotline with Mussolini, he put his personal secretary, Martin Hitler, into the phone. Bowman called in: "Go and send a telegram to Standard Oil and tell them that the Avalon Peninsula must be handed over, otherwise ...... Hersman also had a way to take it. The price of a ceasefire will be even higher! ”
Standard Oil is a Dutch asset of the Rockefeller family and is primarily responsible for the sale of U.S. petroleum products in neutral Netherlands. However, after Kennedy's last visit to the Roman Empire, there was a senior manager named Rockefeller, who secretly purchased a classified military high-power radio from Germany and set up an antenna on top of the rented building. The Dutch police and customs have also turned a blind eye to Standard Oil's actions......
"What? You say the Germans are going to take the Avalon Peninsula as a guarantee? ”
The radio station in the Standard Oil building and the antenna on the roof of the building really worked very well. Just a few hours after Hitler and Hersmann spoke on the phone, Truman was already discussing peace with Kennedy in Chicago on the phone in his office.
"Yes, this may be a request from the German military. And Hitler also hinted that if we refused, the German military could easily take the Avalon peninsula. ”
"Easy?" The word "atomic bomb" flashed through President Truman's mind, "Are they going to flatten the Churchill naval fortress with an atomic bomb?" ”
"I think so!" Kennedy told Truman in a very worried tone, "I just spoke with Dr. Oppenheimer on the phone, and he also thinks that the Germans have made a breakthrough in atomic bomb technology compared to 1944, and the power of the three atomic bombs they dropped on Concepson Bay and Fundy Bay must have exceeded 100,000 tons, and even reached 200,000 tons."
If the Germans bombarded the Churchill naval fortress with such atomic bombs, they should be able to raze it to the ground! ”
Because the three atomic bombs that exploded in Concepson Bay and the Bay of Fundy were all underwater explosions, the momentum displayed was very amazing, and even Oppenheimer, after receiving the preliminary report, made a wrong judgment and overestimated the yield of the atomic bomb.
Truman listened to Kennedy's words, and his heart sank: "If that is the case, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers on the Avalon Peninsula will be frightened crazy, how can this war be fought?" But I can't hand over the Avalon Peninsula to the Germans right away...... After all, formal peace talks have not yet begun. Also, the location of the Avalon Peninsula is too important, and I have to take some time to convince the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Joseph, tell Hitler what I mean, and I will hand over the Avalonian Peninsula, but he must find a way to control Hersmann and never drop the atomic bomb again. Because the war is over, there is no need for innocent people to die. ”
Truman was right in some of his judgments, but the psychological problems that arise from watching the atomic bomb up close can be very serious, especially since the atomic bomb was dropped by the enemy.
So now the American troops on the Avalon Peninsula are panicking, and the offensive against the German positions on the west bank of Concepson Bay has long been stopped. Some units of the 16th Armored Division of the U.S. Army, which had previously occupied Grays Harbor, simply abandoned the city and fled after the atomic bombing - they were all frightened and disorganized, the commander and division headquarters of the 16th Armored Division were all missing in the tsunami, and the troops that entered Grays Harbor and some of the troops near the port also lost their normal formation and were no longer an organized army.
And the commander of the 20th Army of the U.S. Army, Walton. Lieutenant General Walker, this poor American officer and soldier who was too scared to go crazy by the atomic bomb from escaping from the front line.
Towards the evening of April 29, when Lieutenant General Walker's men finally blocked the fleeing rout on a road near the Port Grace Airport, a U.S. Army colonel was pulled in front of Lieutenant General Walker by the military police of the 20th Army. Do you know what you're doing? You're a colonel! ”
"General, we have defeated," the colonel cried at the sight of Lieutenant General Walker, "the Germans' weapons are terrible, they are terrible......"
"But you can't run away, you're a soldier, a soldier of America!" Lieutenant General Walker was very sympathetic to the colonel in front of him, who looked wet and shivering. Most of his troops were caught in a tsunami in Port Grace...... That's 9 tsunami waves! It's normal to scare people crazy. But Walker is a soldier, and a soldier has the vocation of a soldier.
The colonel continued to cry: "General, I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet...... You let me go to a court-martial, please, don't let me go to the front again, it makes no sense. ”
I don't know if it was infected by his cry, but the two or three thousand exhausted American GIs who were blocked by Lieutenant General Walker did not run now, and all sat on the ground and cried.
And just when Lieutenant General Walker didn't know what to do, one of his staff officers suddenly ran out of breath, and without looking at what the occasion was, he shouted: "General, Lieutenant General Collins ordered us to dig bunkers immediately...... According to reliable information, the Germans will use the atomic bomb again tomorrow! ”
"What? And to drop the atomic bomb? "Lieutenant General Walker's legs and stomach are also trembling, he also witnessed the power of the atomic bomb explosion during the day, this guy fortunately fell into the sea, if he was on the shore, the 20th Army might have blown up.
