Chapter 21: Chaos

With a series of loud "booms", the luxury special train running on the tracks at high speed was blasted into the air, and the 300-meter-long section of the railway, including the trains, was shrouded in fire and smoke. The smoke rising into the sky was more than ten meters high, and the dust dispersed made it impossible to reach out within a radius of several hundred meters, and even if there were lucky people who survived the explosion, the dispersed dust could suffocate them to death.

A piece of turf 100 meters away from the railroad was vigorously lifted, and a dozen sturdy figures climbed up from the hole under the turf, and commandos in full SS uniforms rushed towards the train that had been reduced to ruins. "Ten minutes, we only have ten minutes." Haynes, who led the command, shouted in German, and in ten minutes, planes patrolling the railroad would fly by, and once the Luftwaffe discovered their whereabouts, it would be difficult for their commando team to get out smoothly.

The P38 submachine gun in the hands of the commandos rang out non-stop, and all corpses and living people in their sight had to be replaced. This mission is too shocking, and the slightest mistake will cause trouble for the thunder, so it is necessary to erase all traces of the grass. "Found it" shouted a mercenary who was focused on finding his target, and Haynes hurried over, having long heard that Hitler's special train carriage was bulletproof, and this was a long time to see.

The whole train was blown up by the bombs, but the carriage in which Hitler was hiding was only slightly deformed on all fours, and the bombs that could blow up the whole train did not seem to work on it. "Blast the door open, be quick, we don't have much time." The explosive-wielding commandos escort you to the roadbed and jump off the roadbed, fastening the bomb from the backpack to the car door, this time in a targeted blast with enough power to blow the door.

With a bang, the double steel door was blown out of the way, and with the gesture made by Haynes, three mercenaries in a horn formation jumped off the roadbed and prepared to enter the carriage to find out. A gunshot rang out, and the mercenary who was walking in front and wanted to look into the carriage fell upside down, "There are people, there are live ones inside." The two mercenaries who followed shouted and raised their submachine guns and fired into the carriage, until the submachine guns were empty, and they remembered to check on the fallen companion.

"I'm fine, I'm fine" The commando who was pulled up from the ground touched his whole body, and finally found that he was not injured, the bullet that was fired from the carriage just now just grazed the tip of his nose and flew over, and falling from the carriage was only caused by not standing firm when he subconsciously dodged just now.

"Here, here, I found it." The commandos who jumped into the carriage shouted and threw out a bloodstained black jacket with an Iron Cross on the placket of the jacket. Some parts of the medal have been rubbed and shiny, and it can be seen that the owner of the medal likes it very much, Haynes grabbed the medal and carefully identified it a few times, and then piled up the surrounding commandos to make a class I look, and shouted loudly in German, "Soldiers, the target has been confirmed, the marshal must be waiting for our good news, we retreat." ”

The corpse of an SS soldier at Haynes' feet seemed to move, but Haynes, who was standing next to him, ignored it and withdrew with the commandos. Two minutes later, the German plane that saw the smoke flew over, and the SS officer, who had just been wounded in the abdomen and pretending to be dead, waved his white shirt vigorously, and saw the plane in the train accident while looking for a place to make a forced landing and sent a report to the command for help, but by this time the commando had already changed into civilian clothes and fled under the response of the resistance group.

The Führer died, the Führer's train was attacked, and only three people survived the entire train, and none of the three was the Führer himself. Berlin panicked, and the whole of Germany began to be in turmoil, and the German troops deployed on the Eastern Front and the Soviet Red Army were also panicking. Although the German troops who rushed to the site of the accident were already tightly blocking the news, there was no impermeable wall in the world, and the news of the Führer's death had already reached Berlin at the same time that the first batch of troops to deal with the accident returned to the barracks.

The telephone of the German high command became a hotline on this day, and the callers tried in every possible way to inquire about the truth of the news, and although the officers who were asked did not mention it, the news of the Führer's death was still spreading. Senior Wehrmacht officers were already meeting in secret, trying to convince the Junker landlords to support the Wehrmacht, that Hitler was dead, that the SS he supported should be withdrawn from the stage of history, and that the Wehrmacht would return to control Germany's national defense.

Göring, who came second in the Nazi Party, seemed to be the best candidate to become the new Führer, not only did he control the entire German air force, but Goering was Hitler's favored successor. After the news of Hitler's attack broke, Göring, who had stayed in Berlin to treat his cold, visited the leaders of the SS, and after confirming Hitler's death, Goering even began to arrange for tailors to sew new Führer uniforms for himself.

"The more this time, the more you can't mess up, and for those who dare to challenge you, you should use thunderous means to deal with them, just like the night of the long knife back then, and use bloody means to let them see your ability and persistence. If all this that the Führer had worked so hard to build fell into the hands of those Junker consortiums, I really don't know what it would be like to be tossed by those profit-seeking businessmen. After receiving the telegram from Goering, Zhao Zhi sent a reply through Thunder's contact point in Germany.

Zhao Zhi's support made the panicked Goering feel like he had taken a reassurance, and he didn't realize that it was actually Zhao Zhi's trick, Zhao Zhi fooled Goering into using thunderous and bloody means against those who opposed him, in fact, he wanted to intensify Goering's relationship with those opponents, so as to achieve the goal of dividing the strength of the German army. When Hitler was still in power in Germany, there were already rumors of discord between the Wehrmacht and the SS, and it was not so easy for Goering to get the support of the Wehrmacht diehards to ascend to the Führer's throne, and the Junckers consortium would certainly elect a man who was in their interest to succeed the Führer.

Zhao Zhifei returned to Myanmar just to stay out of the matter, at least on the surface, he couldn't let this matter be related to the thunder, he didn't expect Goering to believe in himself so much, and he would send a telegram to himself at such a sensitive time. Zhao Zhi, who had already boarded the big ship of the United States, naturally chose to do the opposite, and only when there was internal strife in Germany itself, would the troops they had deployed on the Eastern Front make mistakes, the alliance between the United States and the Soviet Union would be able to exert its might, and Thunder would be able to gain its own vested interests.

"The house has been renovated, the renovation team has returned, please pay for the renovation" In reply to Goering's telegram, another telegram from Burma was sent to Washington. The beheading operation was successfully implemented, what Zhao Zhi promised has been completed, and now it is time for the Soviet Union to pay the payment, and only by getting the things in hand can this transaction be truly completed, Zhao Zhi is now anxious to get the Siberian Lend-Lease agreement signed by the Soviet government.

Zhao Zhi was not the first person to learn of Hitler's death in addition to the German government, and like Thunder, the CIA also planted and lurked a large number of intelligence agents in Germany. When Zhao Zhi's telegram arrived in Washington, Roosevelt was holding an emergency meeting to discuss the request to send troops to France at the request of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union and the United States, which were originally incompatible, secretly formed an alliance, but the British government-in-exile, which had a hasty alliance with Japan, abandoned Japan and returned to the European circle, and actively played the role of anti-German vanguard. France, which seemed to have convinced Germany, also met secretly with several small countries such as the Netherlands and Luxembourg, and if the time was right, they would also raise anti-German banners in response to the actions of the United States and the Soviet Union, and all this stemmed from Hitler's assassination.

"CIA agents have repeatedly confirmed that Hitler was attacked on the way to Warsaw, that the attackers were wearing SS uniforms, that the weapons they used were German-style weapons except for the bombs used to blow up the train, and that even the attacker's accent was Berlin, and that the Germans now suspect that the small forces attacking Hitler came from within them, and the biggest suspicion was Air Marshal Goering."

"Hitler was indeed a madman, and he actually went to the front line to inspect at such a time, and if he had not insisted on going to the front, he would not have passed through Warsaw, and he would not have been attacked. How could Goering, a staunch supporter of Hitler, become the biggest skeptic? Shouldn't that be? Roosevelt was a little confused, and logically speaking, Göring's assassination of Hitler did not make sense, because everyone knew that Göring might be Hitler's successor, and as long as Göring was not a fool, he would never make such an obvious mistake.

"In any case, the situation is very favorable to us, and we should immediately concentrate our naval forces and defeat them while the Japanese combined fleet is expelled by Australia, so that we can have surplus ships to transport troops to land in France and fight the Germans." Roosevelt's chief of staff calmly analyzed the current situation, and it was indeed urgent to seize the opportunity to send troops to France, and Roosevelt himself was inclined to this conclusion.

"Notify the Navy of the equipment action, and all ships will set off and prepare to fight the Japanese Combined Fleet." Roosevelt made a final decision with great momentum, deciding to attack the Japanese Combined Fleet first and then mobilize troops to land in France for battle. Roosevelt would not do such a thing as a first-come, first-served person who had to come first, and help someone else's family without first solving his own troubles.
