Germany, Berlin, Hitler's secret stronghold.

As soon as Himmler, the head of the Gestapo, returned to Berlin, he was taken to a secret base camp and urgently summoned by Hitler. The main gas bombs stockpiled on the front line had been dropped in the space of two days, and the Allied retaliation ensued.

Heinrich, the head of the SS, remained on the front line and continued to command the gas war, as well as self-help and counterattacks, while Himmler returned to Berlin to report to Hitler.

“…… Führer, we have achieved tremendous results in this sudden poison gas attack, at least half of the more than 2 million Allied troops besieged by poison gas will lose their combat effectiveness, and the direct or indirect casualties will reach at least 300,000 or more......

After all, the gas bomb is not a nuclear weapon, although the power is great, but the Allies are not defenseless, if you are lucky, you can live with a gas mask, and if you are unlucky, you can hide in a tunnel or a hole in the ground, or even hide in the ruins, and you can find a safer place with a soak of urine.

The Allied casualties were certainly tragic, but they were nowhere near comparable to those of a strategic nuclear weapon.

Hitler nodded with satisfaction, although in the past two days, the German army has been repeatedly bombed by poison gas on the front line and some logistics and transportation hub cities, but he does not feel any anger, and the retaliation and counterattack of the Allies are expected. Both sides stockpiled large quantities of gas bombs near the front line, and one side used them on a large scale, while the other side kept them in stock, a statement that even Hitler himself would not believe, so the losses were expected.

"How's the loss?"

Himmler: "Because we foresaw a possible gas counterattack by the Allies, the casualties were far smaller than theirs, and although we also had some cities, logistical and transport hubs attacked, the losses were within our tolerance compared to theirs. ”

"The war is so brutal, so I ordered more fighters to be mobilized to prevent the Allies from penetrating deep into the heart of Europe." Hitler said pointedly.

Himmler was slightly stunned, and then asked cautiously, "Führer, the Allies have a large number of B-29 strategic bombers stationed in Northern Europe, and they have also bombed Berlin, Paris and other places many times, if this time, they use strategic bombers to retaliate against us......

Hitler interrupted him with a wave of his hand, saying, "That's not the point, so I ordered in advance to secretly transfer the base camp to this underground combat base." The counterattack from the ground was expected, but if we did everything we could and still could not stop the enemy's movements, we would not be at fault. ”

"Yes, Führer, I think that such a situation, once it arises, will be the best chance to ask the Chinese to carry out nuclear assistance and fulfill their commitments." Himmler did not care about the life and death of ordinary Germans, just like Hitler, who believed that as long as the dream of Greater Germany was realized, the sacrificed people would only contribute to Germany.

"They are heroes, Germany is grateful to them, they are sacrificed for the great German struggle." As Hitler said in public.

Hitler nodded, and said, "Yes, this will be the best chance, and it will also allow us to gain support after the use of nuclear weapons, at least in Europe." Imagine that the Allied gas bombs have landed on our homeland in large numbers, and we have only attacked a few less critical cities, which are not at all comparable to attacking their homeland, and the people will be angry, and they will be on our side, because we will make the strongest counterattack, and we will avenge the people. ”

He had ordered the secret transfer of important departments, and had asked Goering to be on standby twenty-four hours a day, thousands of miles away in Hanjing, China, and that he would immediately ask for an audience with the top leaders of China as soon as he received an order from Berlin to make good on their promise to provide nuclear assistance.

"Führer, I have always had a word to say." Himmler hesitated, just in front of him and Hitler, and even the guards were outside the glass door, so he naturally wanted to seize this opportunity.

"Hmm."

"I think that when the Chinese put forward this condition, they were hiding evil intentions in it, so why can't they end the war in other ways?" Himmler carefully organized his language, and finally put forward his opinion more tactfully. Although he held a high position, he really didn't have much time to meet Hitler alone, and this was a good opportunity.

"Germany could no longer afford to consume, and the formation of the European Confederation also needed to end the war as soon as possible. And ......," said Hitler, after a slight pause, "and, the Americans and the British, must taste nuclear weapons, must !! ”

The next day, at 3 o'clock in the morning, similar to the time when the Germans suddenly attacked the Allied forces two days earlier, a large number of Allied B-29 strategic bombers carrying nearly 1,000 tons flew into the hinterland of Europe, and as many as a dozen cities in different countries, including Berlin, Hamburg, Rome, the capital of Italy, and many cities in France, were bombed by poison gas bombs with retaliatory surnames.

It has to be said that although the French and Germans eventually sided together, they suffered very little retaliation, except that some insignificant small towns were 'punished' with gas bombs. The real targets were cities in Germany and Italy, including Berlin, Hamburg, Rome, and other large cities in Germany and Italy, which were bombed by 100-ton gas bombs, and Berlin's original Nazi base camp and the neighborhood where one of the exposed base camps was located were even bombed by aerial bombs and poison gas bombs.

This night raid at 3 o'clock in the morning, although the intensity was not as strong as that of the Germans on the front line, but it caused a lot of casualties, most of them were knocked down by poison gas while still asleep, the city's drinking water was completely polluted, direct and indirect casualties, the highest alert in the city after dawn, so that since World War II, the entire European Nazi Corps native hinterland fell into unprecedented anger and panic.

At this time, Hitler, who had not appeared in public for some time, suddenly appeared on German Nazi television and made a public address to the entire Nazi sphere of influence to the military and civilians through television and radio.

“…… We used to endure humiliation because we had big dreams. We used to fight against a powerful enemy because we fought for great Europe. Our homeland was hit with shameful gassing, while the enemy was in their capital, in their warm homes, reading newspapers, listening to the radio, watching our jokes, discussing our damage............ We will not tolerate such insults, and we will take revenge on the enemy in every way possible, and the great German people and the peoples of Europe, we will prove to the enemy by practical deeds that they will eventually be defeated by us. We will use any means possible to retaliate against them......"

…… China, Hanjing, a hotel where foreign guests stay at a certain place of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at one o'clock in the afternoon.

“…… At about 3 a.m. local time, the Allies used B-29 strategic bombers to drop a large number of poison gas bombs on Berlin and other cities......"

Goering sat in the room, listening to the Chinese TV report through an interpreter. On a 14-inch black-and-white television, a good-looking female news anchor is broadcasting a midday bulletin.

In fact, the Chinese reported a massive poison gas attack in the hinterland of Europe only two hours later than he received the radio announcement from home, which made him feel that the Chinese had reached a frightening level of information.

After spending some time in China, he felt more and more that it was a magical country, especially Hanjing, and after comparing it with the familiar Berlin, he even felt that Berlin was at least 15 or even 20 years behind.

The towering buildings of Hanking, the bustling pedestrian streets, the 'luxury Chinese cars' that are constantly flowing on the spacious roads, the development of a bus system that can put Berlin to shame, and even the subway system has three lines...... Yes, there are already three subway lines in the capital of the Chinese, and the construction of the subway station is very modern, and when he visited, there was even a feeling that he was in the wrong place. There is nothing too unique in terms of materials and layout, but many of the details are far from being comparable to one or two other subways in the world.

He felt backward in all aspects, and even the clothes and shoes and hats of the Chinese were so different, not weird, but more pleasing to the eye, more fitted, and more fashionable and trendy.

Before he came to Hanjing, before he had seen so many Chinese wonders for free, he didn't dare to imagine that China had reached such a level.

The big problem is that the Chinese don't just build their capital, he went to Shanghai and had the special honor of participating in a Sino-German friendship football match there.

At the football match, the football players from the German Army were not ordinary soldiers, they were all well-known football players from various European countries before World War II, but on the football field, what he saw was shock and shame.

What was thought to be a very strong European legion was beaten 5-0 by the Chinese team, and Chinese officials also vaguely told him that this was to take care of the face of the German delegation.

But it was only when Goering cautiously expressed his doubts that he realized the problem.

While the Germans and even the whole of Europe were fighting the whole country, the Chinese easily mobilized a huge army with a low casualty rate.

While the army has made great contributions to the country, life in the country is in order, and the average attendance of each game of the Chinese Football Professional League can reach 18,000. He thought that the Chinese team that beat the German Army football team was the best, but it turned out that it was just a local team in Shanghai.

Two or three months ago, he was still in war-torn Europe, but three months later, he sat in a stadium with tens of thousands of people, watching a friendly match between China and Germany, watching the players of the army team, whose skills were rusty because they had too many steel guns, running on the field like fools under the ravages of Chinese professional players.

"We are doing our best to participate in the war, but Chinese are living a good and high-quality life, and the cultural and sports industry is developing rapidly along with the economy, what are we missing......

This was Goering's biggest question as he walked out of the pitch.

However, he did not have time to lament these things now, because eight hours after the gas attack, the latest instructions from Berlin had arrived.

"The Empire of Immortality has terrorized Europe for centuries, and the cowboys have slaughtered the Indians, and now it's our turn."

A somewhat inexplicable telegram made Goering jump up as if he had been electrocuted, and shouted, "Prepare the car, send a request to them, I want to see Mr. Zhou Guolai immediately." ”
