Chapter 699: Countermeasures

"Comrade General Secretary, it is my long-standing dream and that of all my comrades in the German Bolshevik Party to regain your trust and return to the ranks of the revolution, and now it has finally come true, and this is all your favor......"

Speaking of this, the leader of the German Bolshevik Party could no longer cry, and I don't know whether he was moved or thought of the hardships he had endured in Sorowsky all these years. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Stalin smoked a cigarette and had no expression on his face, and when Thälmann had finished crying, he went on in a flat tone: "The world revolution was not achieved overnight, but steadily and step by step." Because imperialism is so powerful that it is impossible to destroy them in one fell swoop. So we can only unite two imperialisms to destroy the other three. ”

Now that the Soviet Union has formed an alliance with the two imperialists of the United States and Great Britain, it is the three imperialists of Germany, Italy and Japan that need to be eliminated.

"Comrade General Secretary is really wise, and the world revolution will surely march to victory under your correct leadership."

Ernst. Thälmann is talking about fleshy sycophants that would have been unimaginable a decade ago.

Stalin nodded, and Thälmann was telling the truth, he was really wise, and he had always been right. After a pause, he added: "Poland, Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, the Baltic states, Finland, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Greece, Albania, Turkey, Persia, the whole Arabian Peninsula, Austria, and you Germany, can all be liberated in this war." ”

Thälmann suddenly found that Stalin's tone had been lowered, and instead of liberating all of Europe except for Britain, he had retreated to the dimensions of liberating Eastern Europe, Central Europe, the Balkans, and parts of northern Europe.

"It seems that the Red Army is in trouble at the front...... Thälmann knew in his heart that if the Red Army's progress in Poland went well, with the character of the Russians, they would never consider sparing France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Portugal, and a host of other European countries from liberation.

When Stalin said this now, he must have estimated that the Soviet Red Army would not be able to defeat Germany, and that it was necessary for British and American imperialism to send troops together to open up a new battlefield on the European continent or in north-west Africa.

Stalin continued: "Now many progressives in countries ruled by the German Nazis have formed government-in-exile to lead the struggle of the population and resistance groups at home. And Germany should also set up such a government-in-exile, which can be called the GDR government, which should include all political factions opposed to the Nazi-Juncker dictatorship, and should be a grand anti-Nazi and anti-Junker coalition. ”

That was to say, to collect the dregs of the Social Democrats and to wreak havoc on the Nazi-Juncker coalition. Thälmann had understood what Stalin meant, and Stalin wanted to repeat the line of the First World War to dismantle the German Empire from within. However, the situation in Germany is no different now than it was more than 20 years ago, when the Nazis basically controlled the middle and lower classes, and the Junkers warlords firmly controlled the middle and upper classes. The war situation is also very good, European reunification is in sight, and the people's living standards have not declined. Who will follow the SPD and the Bolshevik Party to cause trouble? And there are concentration camps in Germany now...... Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party, and Hersmann, the leader of the Junkers, were not reasonable people!

In addition to making trouble for Hitler and Hersmann, Stalin actually wanted to gather all kinds of anti-Nazi and anti-Junker forces under the banner of the German Bolshevik Party, so that a legitimate German government acceptable to Britain and the United States could be established. In the future, when Germany is liberated, the GDR government, led by the Bolshevik Party, can be directly asked to take over Germany.

……

"Hahaha, the Germans brought out Empress Olga, and the Soviets want to form a GDR government, and things are getting more and more interesting."

Inside a magnificent yellow room in the White House, covered with paintings of the ocean, President Roosevelt sat behind his desk and laughed to the visiting British ambassador, Viscount Halifax.

During this time, President Roosevelt's mood was happy, because all the good news came. On the European battlefield, the behemoth of the Soviet Union finally couldn't help but join the war and got into a fight with Germany, and there is hope for a lose-lose prospect in the future.

And in the Pacific theater, the situation seems to be good. I don't know if it's because the battle for Hawaii has consumed too much of Japan's fuel reserves, but Japan has been relatively sluggish in the past few months. To the east, it stopped at Hawaii, to the south at the Solomon Islands, and to the west at the Malay Peninsula and Burma. and did not invade further Australia and India.

At the same time, Roosevelt's small goal was well accomplished. At present, the hulls of 20 Independence-class aircraft carriers (aircraft carriers built from the hulls of Cleveland-class cruisers) are already placed on slipways across the United States, and an equal number of Cleveland-class light cruisers are under construction.

It was expected that by the end of 1942, the first rapid breaking formation consisting of aircraft carriers and light cruisers would be in service. By the end of 1943, the United States would have 20 aircraft carrier squadrons (including 1 Independence-class and 1 Cleveland-class). In addition, new submarines that could operate for a long time in the ocean would also be launched into service in large numbers after the end of 1942.

At that time, the U.S. Navy could put the Japanese Empire in a difficult situation just by breaking the engagement.

Of course, there is also unsatisfactory news. For example, the preliminary research on uranium bombs led by the US Bureau of Scientific Research has been slow, and it seems that it has not succeeded (only not for the time being) after spending millions of dollars to build a pile. The study of isotopes is said to be more difficult, and it is likely that it will not be successful for ten or twenty years.

In this case, the Americans could only turn to Britain, which was likely to be one step ahead in the issue of atomic bomb research.

The result of the plea for help worried Roosevelt, because the Cavendish Laboratory in Britain discovered the secret of nuclear fission earlier than the Americans. But Britain, which was under the blockade of the German Navy, simply did not have enough financial and material resources to research nuclear bombs. However, the British found that the Germans had invested a lot in nuclear bomb research and had a long time to study, and it was clear that they had achieved something. Fortunately, Britain also implemented the N plan to counter the German nuclear fission bomb within the scope of its ability.

Today, Viscount Halifax came to the White House to inform Roosevelt of the situation of the German nuclear bombs in Britain's possession, as well as the progress of Britain's own plan n.

"Mr. President, according to the investigation of our agents, it is now almost certain that Germany is actively developing nuclear fission bombs, and that considerable progress has been made. In addition, they are developing a rocket weapon that can be used to deliver nuclear fission bombs. ”

Hearing Viscount Halifax's words, Roosevelt's face suddenly became ugly.

"Oh, so what can we do now?" Roosevelt asked, "Isn't it just sitting and waiting for CBS to report the end of the world?" ”

"Mr. President, it's not that bad." Viscount Halifax smiled, "The creation of a nuclear fission bomb is very difficult, and the Germans will most likely not be able to succeed in the next 10 years." And the N plan that we used to counter has now been quite successful, and in fact we already have the weapons to counter it. ”

"Plan N?" Roosevelt actually knew about some of the "Plan N", which was a secret biological weapons program!

"This is a plan to widely spread the deadly Bacillus anthracis with bombs...... It is a very deadly germ, and the deadliest of them, inhalation anthrax, can be as lethal as 100%. ”

“100%?” Roosevelt's eyes widened, this is too awesome, if you really want this kind of weapon, then quickly take it out and kill the Germans!

Viscount Halifax then told Roosevelt, "Yes, but according to our research, inhalation anthrax is very rare, humans may not be very susceptible to infection, and we don't have much research on inhalation anthrax." Ninety-five percent of anthrax cases are cutaneous anthrax...... In the case of treatment with penicillin, cutaneous anthrax can be cured.

If not treated with penicillin, the fatality rate of cutaneous anthrax is 20% to 30%. Therefore, the germ is still very powerful, 10-100 times more powerful than any known chemical weapon. ”

Penicillin was invented by the British scientist Fleming, but Fleming did not find a way to extract high-purity penicillin. This work was carried out in 1940 by the German chemist Ernst Brown. Chin and the British pathologist Sigmund Freud made a breakthrough at the same time (in this time and space their studies were carried out separately, because Ernst. Chann was awarded honorary Aryan status). So now pharmaceutical companies in Germany and the United States are preparing for mass production of penicillin, and by 1943 at the latest, a large amount of penicillin will be produced, and the lethality of anthrax weapons will be greatly reduced.

"And we have also opened a anthrax production plant in Canada," Viscount Halifax said next, but Roosevelt frowned, "anthrax bombs are currently being mass-produced, and 500,000 are planned!" This is the last killer weapon of the British Empire! If the Germans dare to attack our cities with nuclear or chemical weapons, then we will use anthrax bombs against Germany. ”

That is, the British were not prepared to use unconventional weapons of the same category as anthrax weapons in the first place, unless the Germans bombed the big cities of Britain with nuclear bombs...... Who makes inhalation anthrax less susceptible? Ninety-five percent of the population contracted anthrax is a 20%-30% fatality rate, which is not enough to destroy the German nation, but will provoke the Germans to resort to brutal retaliation.

And now the Germans have very little chance of using nuclear bombs or some other secret weapon of great lethality against the British, and they are now pretending to be righteous divisions that unite Europe, and do not even drop conventional bombs on the heads of the British, let alone such a monstrous weapon?

Roosevelt thought to himself: So what are you British doing with 500,000 anthrax bombs? And it's also produced in Canada, who is this for? (To be continued.) )
