In the San Juan Base Command, when the US bomber group was completely repulsed and the air defense alarm was lifted, Xu Jianwen and Lan Lide breathed a sigh of relief. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info╔╗ immediately convened an emergency meeting to deploy the rescue work.

When the Ministry of Military Affairs handed Xu Jianwen a report of losses and casualties, Xu Jianwen was heartbroken when he looked at the huge loss of facilities and equipment, as well as the number of casualties.

"This is the end of the matter, I'm afraid I'll have to go to court-martial!"

Xu Jianwen sighed, and then said, "Report it truthfully!" ”

"Wait!" Lan Lide took the report sheet, looked at the list of facilities and equipment losses in front of him, and when he saw the casualty figures in the back, he took a pen and said: "There is obviously a zero missing in the back, I added it for you, don't make this kind of low-level mistake again in the future, you know?" ”

Xu Jianwen and the adjutant were stunned for a moment, and the adjutant asked confusedly: "The subordinates have already checked, only thirteen people are missing, and they have been included in the list of dead for the time being, and the other numbers are accurate, I have repeatedly verified." ”

Lan Lide suddenly glared and said, "I said that one less zero is one less zero!" ”

"This ......" The adjutant was at a loss for a moment.

Xu Jianwen next to him said angrily: "What kind of fame are you doing?" More than 2,000 people died, are you too little? Adding a zero is 20,000, can it be the same? ”

Lan Lide pouted and said: "20,000 dead and wounded, or too little!" ”

As he spoke, Lan Lide added another zero to the back, and it suddenly became more than 200,000 dead and wounded.

Xu Jianwen suddenly glared and said, "I said that your brain is in water?" Why do you talk more and more! Two hundred thousand? Are you crazy? You want me to be sentenced to thousands of years in prison? ”

Lan Lide smiled: "Don't worry! I will defend you in a court-martial! Do you want to sit in prison? Still want to be locked up for thousands of years? ”

Xu Jianwen asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Lan Lide smiled slightly. ╔╗ said: "What the empire needs most now is anger, the anger of a volcanic eruption!" ”

Xu Jianwen asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Lan Lide nodded and said, "That's what it means!" ”

Xu Jianwen didn't ask any more, he already understood what Lan Lide meant, so he gave the adjutant a look and asked him to do it.

The adjutant was confused, but he did not dare to oppose the decision of the two superiors, so he had to carry it out as ordered.

That's it. Originally, there were only about 2,000 casualties, but after Lang Lide added two zeros, it suddenly became more than 200,000 casualties, which was undoubtedly a huge volcanic eruption for the citizens of the Chinese Empire.

Wherever there is a television set at the Pearl Harbor base, it is crowded with officers and men from the army, navy, air, and space units of the base.

"This morning, a huge US fleet took advantage of the unpreparedness of our troops to brazenly launch a surprise attack on the San Juan General Base, an important military base in the Caribbean Sea of our Chinese Empire. As a result, a large number of military installations, weapons and equipment in our San Juan base were destroyed, and heavy casualties were inflicted. All the officers and men of our San Juan base bravely counterattacked under the leadership of Lieutenant General Xu Jianwen. Drive the invaders away. As of press time. The valiant officers and men of our Imperial Air Force have repelled the incoming enemy planes. According to information provided by the Caribbean Command, the attack has killed and injured more than 200,000 imperial civilians around the San Juan base. In response to the atrocities of the U.S. military, His Majesty the Emperor urgently convened a pre-imperial council. Large-scale protests and demonstrations took place in front of the Capitol and the Forbidden City, and the people's unanimous demand for severe punishment of the United States! ”

In front of the television, almost all TV shows were canceled, and major TV stations relayed the live broadcasts of Imperial Central Television, but there was little more valuable news. Almost all of them are replayed repeatedly.

Zhang Bin, who was about to leave the Pearl Harbor base and go home, was already in a mess at this time, recalling the sudden interruption of the phone call with his parents in the morning. And his home was right near the San Juan base, which made him realize that something was wrong.

He hurriedly called the San Juan Disaster Command Center to inquire about the situation. ╔╗Perhaps because the rescuers there were too busy, Zhang Bin received a reply that his home had been razed to the ground and that his parents had probably been killed.

Getting this news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Zhang Bin.

Just as he was in a daze, sirens sounded over the Pearl Harbor base. The order was issued from the high tower for the first level of combat readiness, and all the officers and men of the base canceled their vacations and went out.

"I want revenge! I can't go! ”

Zhang Bin suddenly decided not to leave the army, and he immediately ran to Gao Zhihang for help. Soon Gao Zhihang took Zhang Bin to the base headquarters, and Gao Zhihang personally interceded for Zhang Bin.

Lieutenant General Lin Zhiguang, the commander of the base, could not help but feel sympathy when he learned that Zhang Bin's parents had all been killed in the San Juan air raid, but when he thought that Zhang Bin was a difficult soldier, his eyes became fierce again.

"Please allow me to die on the battlefield!" Zhang Bin looked at Lin Zhiguang without giving in.

After a long time, Lin Zhiguang retracted his sharp gaze and said, "Regarding the matter of asking you to leave the army, you have the right to refuse!" ”

Gao Zhihang was suddenly overjoyed, patted Zhang Bin's shoulder, and said, "Don't hurry up and thank Commander Lin!" ”

Zhang Bin immediately saluted excitedly and said, "Thank you, Commander Lin!" ”

Lin Zhiguang still said coldly: "Remember what you said!" If you are cowardly on the battlefield, Lao Tzu will peel you alive! ”

"Yes!"

"Get out!"

Through the window, Lin Zhiguang saw Zhang Bin and Gao Zhihang who were excited to leave the office, and his expression that had not changed for ten thousand years actually showed a smile.

At this time, Xiao Tielin, the chief of staff, came to him and said, "Why did the commander keep him? Aren't you afraid that your daughter will mess with you? ”

Lin Zhiguang turned around, returned to his desk, sat down and said: "Public is public and private is private, the two should not be confused!" ”

Xiao Tielin said with a smile: "It's a clear distinction between public and private, why did you directly drive him out of the army before?" Isn't that an obvious vent of personal anger? ”

Lin Zhiguang gave him an angry look. ╔╗ said: "A person with a character like Zhang Bin is the black sheep in the army in peacetime!" I fired him for his good, because his character is not at all suitable to stay in the army! But now it's different, the Americans have attacked San Juan, and war is about to break out! And in wartime, an excellent pilot like Zhang Bin is a hero, as long as he directs his energy to the enemy's head, it is the enemy's nightmare. War against the United States is about to break out. My Hawaii base is a front-line battlefield, and I need Zhang Bin to set up a model hero for our Hawaii Air Force! ”

Xiao Tielin asked: "Don't you often say that modern warfare does not need individual heroism?" ”

"That's what you say to cater to politics, people don't walk without heads, birds don't fly without wings, and heroes are needed in any position at any time to inspire the people around them!"

Xiao Tielin nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Lin Zhiguang said: "What do you think the empire will do next?" ”

Xiao Tielin didn't think about it, and blurted out directly: "Then you still need to ask?" Early tomorrow morning, the Imperial Government will declare war on the United States! The Americans ate the bear-hearted leopard gall. If you dare to sneak up on us, look at it! Soon a targeted retaliation will begin! ”

Lin Zhiguang nodded. "You're right! So how do you think the empire will retaliate against the Americans? ”

Xiao Tielin thought for a moment. said: "This is not good! To put it more seriously, the imperial government will directly use nuclear weapons to raze the United States to the ground, and the lightest retaliatory action will have to be an unprecedented bombing of the Americans to avenge the death of the emperor and the people of San Juan! ”

Lin Zhiguang said: "I think the latter is very likely! Once we are going to carry out retaliatory action, our Pearl Harbor base will definitely be the vanguard, so you should go down and organize it immediately, and estimate that the strategic air force is the most likely to be used! ”

Xiao Tielin smiled: "Don't worry! I'll tell the big guys. ╔╗ We will go and bomb Washington directly and raze Roosevelt's new White House to the ground! ”

Lin Zhiguang nodded and said, "Don't say it." It's very likely! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, after the attack on San Juan. Wang Chenhao immediately convened an emergency imperial meeting here, and as the reports on San Juan were summarized and reported to the Qianqing Palace, Wang Chenhao immediately discussed countermeasures with the civil and military officials.

Obviously, the US military's sneak attack on San Juan was a declaration of war on the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire would inevitably respond positively by directly passing the agenda of declaring war on the United States.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Zizhong, Minister of National Defense, said: "The imperial government and the military have already transferred most of their industries to a wartime mechanism, and the army, navy, air force, and space forces have secretly completed the war mobilization order, and they can enter the war at any time. ”

Prime Minister Song Kyo-in said, "Yes, Your Majesty! Both sides of the Purpose Emperor and Government are ready to enter the war at any time. But the problem now is that we have a global chain reaction after the war with the United States. First of all, Germany, Italy, Spain and other countries that are allies of the United States, whether the empire also declares war directly on them, that means that the battlefield will not only be on the American continent, but will affect the whole world. At the same time, the member countries of the Greater China Co-Prosperity Sphere will inevitably be involved in the war, which will involve the entire Eastern world in World War II, and once the war starts, this will be the real world war. ”

Wang Chenhao asked, "Do you mean that if the empire does not declare war on the other countries of the Allied Powers, they will not declare war on us?" ”

Song Jiaoren replied: "The minister is not guaranteed!" ”

Wang Chenhao said: "Since it can't be guaranteed, then we must plan for the worst." ”

Foreign Minister Zhou Laien proposed: "Germany and other countries can be informed in advance, express the solemn position of the Reich, and test their position." It would be a good thing if Hitler and other leaders were unwilling to declare war on the Reich, which could continue to trade in European arms while concentrating on destroying the United States first and cutting off one of the arms of the Allies. If it can't be avoided, then the empire is not afraid, it is a big deal to fight on two fronts, the total industrial output value of the United States and German allies is less than one-third of the empire, and they can't fight the empire if they fight for consumption! ”

Wang Chenhao turned to everyone and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"The ministers seconded it!"

Wang Chenhao saw that everyone had no opinion, so he asked Zhou Laien to be in charge of this matter, and said hello to Germany first, if Germany refused to declare war, it would naturally be a good thing, even if Germany declared war, the Chinese Empire was not afraid. At most, it will be a full-scale war with the entire Allied world from the beginning, which is also unavoidable.

"Your Majesty, the US sneak attack on San Juan can't just be left at that! Although the empire is ready to start a war against the United States, it should at least teach the Americans a hard lesson at the first time, avenge the more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians of San Juan, and appease the anger of the people of the empire! ”

Song Jiaoren's proposal was approved by the civil and military officials, and Wang Chenhao also agreed.

Zhang Zizhong said: "I thought that the strategic air force would be sent to carry out large-scale bombing of the US mainland, especially against Washington. The most effective way to get revenge is to raze Washington to the ground, and the minister suggested the use of nuclear weapons. ”

Zhang Zizhong's words immediately caused an exclamation in the hall, the use of nuclear weapons against a country's capital is not just revenge, it is easy to explain, this international impact is very bad.

Song Jiaoren said: "This is a bit too much! The Empire has not yet reached the point where it has to use nuclear weapons! ”

Zhang Zizhong explained: "The use of nuclear weapons is not enough to deter the enemy, and the use of nuclear weapons is not enough to anger the people!" ”

Song Jiaoren asked, "How many nuclear bombs does the empire have now?" ”

Zhang Zizhong replied: "Your Majesty, 102 have been in service so far!" ”

Song Jiaoren nodded, and asked again: "How many cities can 102 nuclear bombs destroy?" ”

Zhang Zizhong replied: "A large nuclear bomb can destroy a big city. Three small nuclear bombs can destroy a large city. ”

Song Jiaoren then calculated: "The United States has a population of 150 million, and there are nine megacities with a population of more than 1 million. 251 large cities with more than 100,000 people. There are thousands of cities below 100,000. Even if you destroy one of their cities with a nuclear bomb, at most 102, the United States is still the United States, and you can only deepen their hatred of the Empire! Besides, attacking a country's capital with a nuclear bomb will put the empire in a completely passive situation in international diplomacy in the future. ”

Zhang Zizhong asked, "Then what do you say?" ”

Song Jiaoren turned to Wang Chenhao and said, "Your Majesty." Ministers oppose the direct use of nuclear weapons! The premise of the use of nuclear weapons is that there is no other way to end the war. Either use nuclear weapons to wipe the enemy country off the face of the earth, or use nuclear weapons at all. Because if the grass is not eradicated, what if one day the enemy country develops nuclear weapons to take revenge on the Empire? The citizens of the Reich simply cannot afford such a nuclear threat! ”

Wang Chenhao nodded. "Makes sense! Now our nuclear forces are not enough to destroy the United States, and a nuclear strike on its capital is absolutely impossible! ”

Zhang Zizhong then said: "The minister obeys the holy decree! Then instead of a nuclear strike, a larger strategic air force will have to be sent to attack Washington using conventional weapons! ”

Wang Chenhao asked: "This can be implemented, now the whole world knows that the empire is in anger, and the air attack on Washington will not cause international trouble!" ”

The Imperial Council approved a plan for a retaliatory attack on the Roosevelt administration, and Zhang Zizhong personally served as the commander-in-chief of Operation Vengeance, and would carry out a large-scale air strike on Washington as a counter-retaliation action against the US military's sneak attack on San Juan.

In addition, the Imperial Council also decided to carry out a large-scale general mobilization for war throughout the country, the empire's economy and industry will be fully transferred to a wartime mechanism, and the imperial army, navy, air and space forces will enter a state of first-class combat readiness.

Diplomatically, the Chinese Empire sent a circular to the League of Nations, bitterly stating the charges of the US military attack on San Juan, creating a public opinion advantage for the subsequent declaration of war on the United States.

At the same time, the Imperial Foreign Office urgently summoned the ambassadors of Germany, Italy, Spain and other Allied powers to express the position of the Chinese Empire that it was about to declare war on the United States.

For Italy and Spain, they opposed a showdown with the Chinese Empire, so they also persuaded Hitler to abandon his commitment to the Roosevelt government, at which time the Allies had already controlled Europe, and the attack on the Soviet Union would soon come to an end, and only by abandoning the United States could the Allies avoid an immediate war with the Chinese Empire.

Hitler wanted to go to war with the Chinese Empire, and he always persuaded Roosevelt to calm down, hoping that after the development of nuclear weapons, it would not be too late to turn against the Chinese Empire when he had the final hole card. But Roosevelt did not listen to Hitler's advice at all, and insisted on sending a fleet to attack San Juan, which angered the Chinese Empire and forced Hitler to make a choice.

This choice was very difficult for Hitler, who was well aware of the strength of the Chinese Empire. In terms of economic aggregate, the gross national product of the Chinese Empire is more than four times that of the entire Allied Powers, and its industrial production capacity is also twice that of the United States and Germany combined, not to mention its military capability. What made Hitler even more troublesome was that the population of the Chinese Empire was also larger than that of the entire Allied Powers combined, and its huge war potential was very terrifying.

"Roosevelt stabbed a hornet's nest this time! If we don't get it right, we'll be stung! ”

Deputy Leader Rudolph was well aware of the situation and supported the abandonment of the United States as a way to buy time to develop nuclear weapons, but the final decision was left to Hitler alone.

Hitler said: "The Chinese Empire has been waiting for this day for a long time, and if we abandon the United States, when the Chinese Empire destroys the United States, it will still come back and attack us." ”

"But we can use the United States to contain the military power of the Chinese Empire, so that we can have enough time to complete nuclear weapons research," Rudolph said. Even if the United States is finally destroyed by the Chinese Empire, we will be able to compete with the Chinese Empire by that time we have already mastered nuclear weapons. ”

Hitler asked rhetorically: "But what if we hadn't developed nuclear weapons then?" ”

Rudolph was speechless, that situation was something he didn't expect and didn't want to happen.

Hitler sighed and said: "I am very dissatisfied with the development of nuclear weapons now, and according to the timetable given to me by Krobel, I will have to wait at least one to two years." Do you think the United States would have been able to hold out until that time without our help? ”

Rudolph said: "According to the timetable of the last Sino-American war, they will not hold out for that long. ”

Hitler nodded and said: "The Chinese Empire is stronger than it was twenty years ago, not to mention that there are nuclear weapons in hand, Roosevelt will not be able to hold out at that time, unless we unite with them at any cost, there is a glimmer of hope." ”

"A glimmer of hope?" Rudolph smiled bitterly: "Führer, you are too pessimistic, aren't you! ”

Hitler said: "This is the worst-case scenario!" ”

Rudolph asked, "So what do you mean?" ”

Hitler let out a long sigh again, and finally decisively said: "Go to war!" We have no choice! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
