Dr. Atom's judgment of the condition of the wounded proved to be quite accurate, and the wounded man, who was lying on the hospital bed next to Hitler, was carried out in the early hours of the next morning with a white cloth covering his face. In the days that followed, Hitler witnessed several more prisoners of war being carried out in this way. A week later, Hitler was finally carried out, but in a different place than the others. Those people are sent somewhere to be dehydrated and decarbonized, leaving behind only something that contains a lot of calcium, which is then packed into a small box that can be easily transported, then labeled, loaded onto a train, and sent back to Germany in a wagon. Although Hitler was finally sent on the train back to Germany, at least the carriage he was in was not so crowded - the conditions of the front-line hospitals were limited, and although Hitler's illness had not yet been cured, and he could not even begin to recover, since his condition had stabilized a lot, he should naturally be sent back to the rear for treatment. The conditions in the big hospitals in the rear were much better, which was better for Hitler, and moreover, they could free up the already tight beds in the field hospitals.

As a patriot, Hitler was very worried about the future of the war, especially that Germany would be crushed by the British and French in a gas war because of its lack of rubber. This concern became even more worrisome when he arrived at the rear hospital, where more soldiers were wounded by poison gas. And he learned from the doctor that the sequelae of this poison gas may not be able to get rid of it for the rest of his life.

Just as Hitler feared, the French and the British did have the idea of using poison gas bombs to settle the war, however, an event arose that changed all that.

……

On the evening of October 15, 1914, several behemoths were pulled out of some huge warehouses in Frankfurt and onto a large open field. These big spindle-shaped guys are the famous zeppelins.

As in history, the Germans first built large rigid airships and used them for the shipping industry. Compared with the aircraft of the time, this airship had advantages in almost every way, except for speed. The 163-metre-long behemoth could easily soar above the flight altitude of any known aircraft of the time, and its carrying capacity far exceeded that of the aircraft of its time. What's more, it seems to be much safer than an airplane, if the plane is flying in the air and the engine suddenly fails, then only one of them will fall and die, and even if the pilot turns a little faster when turning, the plane may fall from the sky. And the airship is a lighter than air, so even if it loses power, it will not fall headlong, even if the pilot makes a mistake, it will not let the airship fall headlong, in fact, there is no normal way to make this thing fall headlong. So, the Germans have always had high hopes for this kind of thing. Especially with the obvious superiority of the British navy, the Germans had practically no means of threatening the British mainland. Therefore, the airship that can fly in the air over London and directly spread death and terror in London is naturally particularly valued by the Germans.

"Captain Linnatz, this mission is very important." An officer was taking advantage of the time when the Zeppelin airship was inflated to give a final account to the pilots on this epoch-making mission.

"This bombing will usher in a whole new era, and we must make the British aware of the power of the Empire, and thus force them to accept an Empire-led peace. And this act of yours, an act to destroy the will of the British, will surely live forever in history......"

During this operation, in addition to bombs, the Germans prepared airdropped leaflets. After all, even the Germans understood that it was simply impossible to destroy Britain with an air strike, with bombs that airships could carry. However, they believed that such a bombing could bring great chaos to Britain. In order to escape the bombing, the British would flee from the cities, and in this way, production in British factories would be greatly affected. Moreover, the British people would also be tired of the war because of the bombing.

Yes, that's what the Germans thought at the time, and after seeing that after the Boer War, Britain began to shrink on all fronts, they felt that a country like Britain, which had ruled the world for a century, would retreat because a few bombs fell on its own soil.

By this time, the inflatable work had been completed, and the German pilots boarded the airship, the tight cable was loosened, and the airship slowly floated higher and higher......

The speed of the Zeppelin is only about 90 kilometers at the fastest, and this speed is also affected by the wind, so when the airship crosses the English Channel, it is already late at night. However, it was not a difficult task for the airship to find a target, because in that era there were no air raids or anything, and naturally there would be no light control or anything, so it was even easier to find a target at night than during the day, because from a long distance, the Germans could see the lights of the British city.

At about two o'clock in the morning, four German zeppelins arrived over London, and at this time, London was still not asleep, and the factories near London were busy twenty-four hours a day for the war. No one noticed that several airships flew above their heads.

"Sir, we've reached the skies above Target Area One." Navigator Sean shouted.

"Good, ready to slow down." Captain Linnatz gave the order. So the lead airship began to use its lights to signal the other airships to slow down. Unlike airplanes, airships that rely on air buoyancy can hover in the air. And when dropping a bomb, the smaller the speed relative to the ground, the easier it is to improve the accuracy of the bomb.

The four airships turned off their engines and glided forward by inertia.

"Prepare to drop the bomb!" Captain Linnatz ordered.

So the magazine under the airship was opened, and a string of bombs fell from the magazine and melted into the night, and after a while, in the distance, you could see the ground exploding one after another of flaming flowers.

"Good." Captain Linnatz said, "The British should wake up." Now we can drop the bombs. Are the propaganda bombs ready? ”

"Sir, you're ready!" Ammunition officer Rohm replied.

"Very well, let's drop the bomb." Captain Linnatz ordered.

This flight by Captain Linnatz pioneered two firsts in human history. One is the first time that mankind has adopted the combat method of air raids in war, and the other is the first time that propaganda bombs have been dropped during air raids.

The so-called propaganda bombs are actually just a large number of leaflets. This particular ammunition was used many times in subsequent wars. For example, in the original historical World War II, the Air Force of the Republic of China used this kind of thing to "bomb" Japan, and later, the troops of the American barbecue maniac Li Mei also dropped a large number of propaganda bombs in Japan.

The bombing of the Germans caused a certain panic. Although the Germans could not actually do what they boasted in their leaflets, completely destroying Britain from the air. But the seemingly unstoppable bombs that fell from the sky still made the British panic. In terms of panic alone, it even surpassed the level of the Battle of Britain decades later in another plane. Of course, this is not because the British of that era were braver than the British of this era, but because the British of that era were already familiar with the combat method of air raids and were already psychologically prepared for air raids. And the British in this era never thought that there would be such a thing as an air raid. It is not known at all how powerful the air raids could be, or whether they were completely unstoppable as they boasted to the Germans. And ignorance is the most likely breed terror.

So the next day, there was an uproar in the British media, almost all of which were asking the British government if there were any measures to protect the British people, and the British government, on the one hand, declared that the German attack on British civilians was a mad war crime and said that it would retaliate, and on the other hand, it tried to reassure the people, promising to strengthen the air defense of the homeland, so that the Germans would not return.

In fact, the bombs dropped by the Germans did not kill many people in this air raid, and only about 20 British people died in this air raid, and only about 100 people were injured. And the bombs were left in the slums, so naturally they didn't blow up any high-value targets. But because the Germans threatened in their leaflets that if Britain continued to use chemical weapons on the battlefield, Germany would use chemical weapons to launch air strikes against Britain. Therefore, although the British government said that they were not afraid of it, on the battlefield, they did not use mustard gas on a large scale to the German army for the time being, and in order to defend against possible air raids, Britain had to build large air-raid shelters in the city, and stockpiled more anti-chemical equipment and corresponding medicines in the city. In order to deal with airships, the British also had to prepare searchlights for the city and urgently develop anti-aircraft weapons. All this meant that the British had to devote more of their forces to the defense of their homeland, which greatly weakened the forces that Britain could put into the battlefield. In this sense, in this air raid, the Germans only used a small force, and they dragged down a lot of manpower and material resources of the British.

Generally speaking, the effect of the propaganda bombs dropped by the Germans this time was between the later Republic of China Air Force and the US Army Air Force, and the propaganda bombs they dropped were far from achieving the effect of the later US Army Air Force, which dropped propaganda bombs to warn of air raids in a Japanese city and made half of the people in that city run to the countryside for refuge, but it was also much more effective than the so-called warning to the Japanese government not to slip further and further down the wrong road that was treated by the Japanese as toilet paper dropped by the Republic of China Air Force. The reason is also simple, because compared with the United States, he dropped too few bombs, and the vast majority of the power of propaganda bombs came from the bombs dropped before. However, compared with the kind of propaganda bomb of the Republic of China Air Force, which does not have a single bomb, it is still much stronger, because there is no bomb and the propaganda bomb that hopes to convince people with virtue is just a piece of paper.
