Chapter 472: The Peak of the Closing Battle: Poison Gas Battle
Germany, Berlin, somewhere in Hitler's secret office.
Hitler glanced around at the Third Emperor[***] political dignitaries in front of him, everyone was seated, and as usual, it was another serious meeting of the Führers.
"The violent bloodshed in Washington is a massacre against humanity, and Goebbels, you must condemn Washington's massacre of civilians to the whole world in the name of the Axis powers."
According to the brief statistics of the agents, this incident caused a total of more than 100 casualties of the military and police, and a very small number of long-planned rioters used pistols, submachine guns, and even grenades and bazookas, causing more than 100 casualties to the well-equipped and well-prepared military and police, which has to be said to be a miracle.
The Americans suffered such a big loss, and Hitler was undoubtedly in an excellent mood.
And that's not all, after the bloody case in Washington came back, he had just arrived and arranged political propaganda for Goebbels, and an even bigger piece of good news came back again.
"Our allies have finally made historical concessions to us at the negotiating table, and Goering has once again proved his great role.
The Chinese are willing to provide generous nuclear assistance, and their nuclear bombing units are on standby twenty-four hours a day to provide us with nuclear assistance. ”
Hitler was excited at the mention of the Chinese's promises, and although he had paid a great price for negotiations and would continue to pay the price, he had already decided in his heart that he would do whatever it took to get this nuclear aid.
As soon as the conversation turned, Hitler mentioned the conditions of the Chinese, "We promised the Chinese that the conditions must be fulfilled, and the Middle East will definitely give way, although there is the energy we crave, but there are also other places."
Next, your task is to make sure that every detail is executed, perfectly executed......"
The participants were all absolutely high-ranking Nazis, and there was absolutely no betrayal on the part of a dozen or so people, so Hitler naturally finished his words at once, and after saying something inconsequential, he ordered, "The General Staff needs to immediately draw up a plan, select several candidate targets, such as London, Washington, etc., and tomorrow I will see the preliminary plan." ”
Hitler did not publicly announce the secret conditions proposed by the Chinese, only announced the imminent nuclear aid.
He was really excited, although he could easily think of why the Emperor of the East insisted that Germany take the lead in provoking the final gas war, but he did not think there was anything wrong with it.
He has always ordered the vigorous development of poison gas bombs, not for the purpose of development and production as decorations, but for the purpose of using them on the enemy.
It's just that the enemy also has poison gas bombs, and although the impact of large-scale use of gas bombs on both sides can be ignored, the damage to each other's personnel is very serious.
But now it is different, now that he has received the promise of nuclear aid, he even has a kind of impatience, Zhang Shusheng put forward this condition, and even gave him the last shot of stimulants, and made up his mind to use poison gas bombs.
The large quantities of poison gas bombs that the Germans stockpiled on the front line were meant to be thrown on the heads of the Allies in case of contingency or if necessary.
After all, if the Chinese finally do not agree to Lend-Lease nuclear weapons, then the war still needs to be fought, and at this time, Germany's huge storage of gas bombs will need to be used.
He asked the head of the intelligence department, and it was not surprising that German intelligence officers had also discovered that the Allies had deployed poison gas bombs on the front lines of the war, after all, everyone had similar ideas.
After two hours, the complicated Führer meeting was over, and Hitler left behind the SS leader Heinrich and the Gestapo chief Himmler.
When he came to the secret room, Hitler even waved the secretary away, leaving only three people in the room.
"This time the Chinese promised to give us the support of several atomic bombs, and I plan to launch a nuclear attack on London, Washington and several other places, among them, an atomic bomb will also be dropped on the battlefield. This is my initial idea. ”
Hitler said succinctly, facing the two leaders of the secret forces he trusted the most, he had no scruples, and continued, "We still have more than 5,000 tons of poison gas bombs stored on the front line, and I order you Heinrich and Himmler to go to the front line and be responsible for carrying out this gas bomb operation." ”
The poison gas bombs stored in Germany on the front line are mainly divided into two categories: poison gas shells and poison gas bombs, and there are also a small number of poison gas missiles, that is, poison gas warheads loaded by V-2 and V-3 missiles, which can reach nearly one ton of poison gas at a time, and there are about hundreds, not too many, which are used for long-range fixed-point bombing.
In general, the gas bombs stored by Germany on the front line already have the requirements for large-scale strategic use, and these gas bombs are in a state of high combat readiness, simply put, they can be pulled out of the warehouse, loaded with bombers and transport planes to be dropped, and there will be no preparation period calculated on a monthly basis before and after, and it only takes three days to be ready.
"Yes!"
When Himmler and Heinrich heard this, they did not expect that the Führer was actually thinking of taking advantage of the excellent opportunity of Lend-Lease to use up the poison gas bombs.
Neither of them was a civilian official, and when they heard that the Führer was going to make up his mind to use 5,000 tons of poison gas bombs, they could not help but shudder. Since the beginning of World War II, the earliest large-scale poison gas war was in Leningrad, where the Soviets temporarily lost Leningrad, and although they later recaptured it with the help of the Americans, they still suffered heavy losses.
Later, Hua Xia and Yue himself made a real fire in the Far East, and said that he tried in vain to use poison gas bombs to create a barrier during retreat, but the result angered the emperor of the East, and with a stroke of the pen, thousands of tons of high-efficiency poison gas bombs were thrown down, and the Yue army was originally ready to take the opportunity to retreat, but unexpectedly, it was surrounded by two poison gas belts, resulting in the surrender of nearly one million Yue troops.
Of course, in that poison gas war, the Chinese's greatest willingness to reverse the situation, in addition to intelligence work, ruthless enough, the most critical reason is air superiority.
"Führer, it is not difficult to throw poison gas bombs, as long as enough bombers and transport planes are deployed, it can be done. But we need enough air cover and a sufficient concentration of superior fighters to counter the air forces of the Allies. ”
Heinrich and Himmler were both known for their ruthlessness, but in fact, few people know that they were also generals with considerable military literacy, and the use of poison gas bombs on such a large scale, without the full cooperation of the Air Force, is likely to be pressed upside down.
Hitler nodded, he also thought of this, so, he had already prepared, and said, "I will order the Air Force von. Marshal Graham supports your actions with all his might. You have a week to mobilize all kinds of planes to inspect and count the gas bombs, and in seven days, the gas war against the Allies will officially begin, and I will carry out an all-round, unprecedented gas war, and I must be able to drop these 5,000 tons of gas bombs on the heads of the Allies in the fastest possible time. ”
Now that he has made up his mind, Hitler's ruthlessness will certainly not be relentless, and 5,000 tons of poison gas bombs are just that, as long as enough bombers and transport planes are deployed, it will only take two days to throw them all on the heads of the Allies.
Himmler said, "Führer, if we carry out a gas war with such intensity, the Allies will certainly retaliate against us, and we should not formulate a corresponding response plan." ”
"Well, I will order the Chief of the General Staff, Field Marshal Keitel, to formulate the relevant defense plan and issue enough anti-gas equipment for the front-line troops,"
Hitler affirmed, "But, when they react and want to take revenge on us, it is up to our allies to make good on their promises."
Zhang Shusheng is a great man, although he is particularly cruel to the enemy and scheming, but he is a person who values his promises very much, and he has never violated any decision he made on behalf of the Eastern Empire, and I believe in him. ”
Although politicians are not credible, Hitler has to admit that whether it is economic cooperation, trade from civilian to military, or military or technical exchanges, this Chinese Zhang has never broken his promise, and even repaid the money he borrowed from Germany with goods.
In Hitler's view, perhaps most other politicians are liars, or people who change their minds in the blink of an eye, but this Zhang Shusheng of the East is very faithful to his promises and pays great attention to the face of the Chinese Empire, which even if it is magnified in nuclear leasing, Hitler fully believes in Zhang Shusheng.
…… The next day, Heinrich and Himmler got busy. Heinrich rushed to the front line overnight and began secretly inspecting and sampling the stockpile of poison gas bombs on the front line. Himmler, on the other hand, was in close proximity to the current commander of the German Air Force, von Murray. Marshal Graham worked together to develop a gas warfare plan, including the selection of the target area for bombing, the type of aircraft selected, the number of aircraft, the airfields used, the escort group, and even the feint coordination of air and ground.
In three days, in just three days, under the mobilization of the German General Staff, a top-secret poison gas warfare plan was formed, Field Marshal Graham actively carried out the Führer's orders, mobilized a sufficient number of bombers and transport planes, and the escort and all the fighters participating in the war were also the elite of the elite, including more than 800 advanced jet fighters.
The bombing plan was quickly formulated, and the target areas of the bombing included Moscow, Leningrad and other areas, all of which were the places where a large number of Allied troops were assembled, and if you count them according to the size, an area could allocate about 1,000 tons of poison gas bombs, and the plan also included the use of poison gas missiles to strike at London and the logistics cities in the rear of the Allied forces.
On September 15, 1947, after careful preparations, the German Nazis suddenly mobilized a large number of air forces to carry out poison gas bombardment at dawn on many places, including Moscow and Leningrad.
The pinnacle showdown of the final battle of World War II has finally entered the end of **.
