"There is no doubt that the Americans must be conducting similar research to us in the field of nuclear physics; If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have known the world-destroying power of this weapon. However, I don't think the Americans are going to be more accomplished than we are in this area. The thin Hahn spoke calmly, and there was a hint of confidence in his tone as a leader in the industry, "Since 1931, when heavy nuclear fission was discovered, we have begun to put it into practical research, and after seven years of theoretical exploration and industrial practice, we have finally achieved today's achievements. None of this work can be done lightly. Given the starting advantage we have in this area, we have every reason to doubt the current real progress of the Americans. ”

Compared with Hahn's affirmative attitude, Canaris, who is in charge of intelligence in North America, seems to be a little lacking in confidence, and in the face of Qingying's inquiry, he is completely unable to give what kind of progress the other party has reached, and can only speculate based on the news of the scale claw in his hand that the other party's nuclear weapon manufacturing began about 3 years ago. In fact, there is no way to do this, if the German intelligence department can even get a glimpse of this kind of core secret, then its ability is already in the realm of gods!

"Dr. Hahn, if a nuclear bomb explodes in the original field area, how much damage will it cause to the army?" After pondering for a moment, Qingying asked the chief engineer of the "Divine Fall" project in front of him again.

"↖↘ Your Majesty, the greatest value of a nuclear bomb is that it is dropped on a densely populated enemy city, but it will not have too much ideal damage to the field army. For example, the three plutonium bombs we have built are expected to have a yield of 35,000 tons of TNT. The direct kill radius of the shock wave and thermal radiation at the time of the air explosion is about 2.5 km. Although the permeating radiation and radioactive contaminants are more extensive. But the damaging effects are long-lasting. Lesions of the body do not manifest until months or even years later, and the amount of absorption obtained can be drastically reduced by hiding behind obstacles such as concrete walls and bunkers. As long as our troops do not crowd in a small space like city dwellers and take the right means of self-protection after an explosion, the final casualties will never be in the hundreds of thousands, as in the cities. Hahn shook his brain, full of expertise, and explained to Qingying in relatively simple words.

Hearing Hahn's words, Qingying's mind also began to calculate rapidly. Although the current pattern of the world has been changed by itself, all kinds of weapons have appeared on the battlefield at a speed far beyond the course of history; However, on the whole. But the shape is still not out of control. At present, Germany has all kinds of cutting-edge technology, all of which are the fruits of its own targeted cultivation through a large amount of capital investment during the war, and in nuclear weapons alone, he gave full financial support to Hahn's research team as early as 15 years ago. Now, even the United States, which unexpectedly possesses such weapons, has every reason to believe that their number must be extremely limited - due to the lack of www.biquge.info and development time, the United States of this dimension is more than one notch weaker than the monster in history in 1942!

In this case, the Americans are limited in what they can do with this weapon. Even if one of their own troops were wiped out, reinforcements from the rear would be enough to make up for these losses. If they stop at this time, it will really be a foolish move to raise tigers for the United States: once they have time to replenish their nuclear arsenal. It will inevitably make Germany even more reluctant in its future actions, and thus make this preventive war meaningless. It is precisely because the United States may have a nuclear bomb that it cannot stop moving forward!

"To hell with this statement from the Americans. We continue to act according to our original plan. Through guò punches to the flesh to make the opponent choose to give in; If they dare to carry out a nuclear attack on our army, we will also retaliate with all the same types of weapons! Qingying made a decision immediately, and her heart regained her previous calmness and calmness. Now that we have reached the final stage of the war, how can we give up all the successes we have achieved because of a near-blackmail statement from the other side?

On June 17, just a day after the U.S. government issued a warning of a nuclear attack, Germany, along with its allies, issued a strongly worded joint statement. Since the war had been provoked by the United States as a pioneer in European affairs, Germany and its allies would never succumb to any of the difficulties before them; Unless the U.S. government announces surrender, the war will never end. In order to separate the White House authorities from the American people and to provoke an even stronger anti-war wave in the United States and Congress, Germany also made a stern response in a statement: If the warmongers led by Roosevelt continue to ignore their past evils and continue to frantically use the superweapon they have mentioned to stubbornly resist, then Germany will respond tenfold in numbers. At that time, the casualties suffered by the United States will be blamed on the warmongers in the White House, not to mention Germany's unforesight.

At the same time, three plutonium bombs and one powerful uranium bomb were also sent to four cruisers under top secret conditions, and they headed for Cuba on the other side of the ocean overnight at an average speed of more than 26 knots. Once the Americans did use the nuclear bomb, the Germans would be able to immediately counteract and drop unprecedented death horrors on the other side's heads. The Luftwaffe's ME-264 heavy bombers were large enough to carry a nuclear bomb weighing 4 tons to carry out bombing missions, and as early as the end of the war in Europe, the crew of a flying group had already begun to carry out relevant professional training, and its key project was to drop a super bomb weighing more than 5 tons from an altitude of 9,000 meters to an area within 300 meters of the center of the target.

The only thing restricting the use of nuclear bombs by the Germans now is how to deliver them smoothly over the target. At present, the ground antiaircraft artillery and land-based aviation of the US military are still quite powerful, and the difficulty of the German bombers flying alone to carry out the mission is almost unimaginable. However, the Germans also found a strategy to deal with the previous strategic bombing. For the heavy bombers dispatched in groups, the US air force does not seem to have a very good means of interception, and they can only rely on large-caliber anti-aircraft guns to deal with these steel fortresses roaring through the air, and the battle loss rate of the German army in a single bombing is only about 6%. If a bomber carrying a nuclear bomb is mixed into the formation, there is a nearly 95% chance that it will successfully fly over the target; In order to avoid damaging friendly aircraft from the destructive shock wave generated by the explosion of the nuclear bomb, the bomber crew carrying the nuclear bomb can choose to be the last to drop the bomb. As long as the preparation is thorough and the execution is decisive and strong, the first dispatch can be successful.

The German government's resolute attitude has caused the authorities in the White House to be overshadowed. Their original intention was to bring Germany and themselves back to the negotiating table, but unexpectedly, the other side not only disdained the super-force threat they had released, but instead responded to the other in the same way, urging them to surrender immediately with the same threat! The top brass of the White House held an emergency meeting overnight in the presidential residence to discuss how much truth there was in Germany's statement: did the other side not believe that it had such weapons at all and thought it was bluffing, or did it have strong enough cards in its hands to be completely unafraid of a showdown between the gods?

"I regret to inform you that the United States has produced only one of these revolutionary superweapons, and the next one will not be made until Christmas in half a year's time. The demand for core raw materials is so demanding that we can only reach this rate at our current capacity. And in terms of power, it is not as powerful as you thought before, its bombardment can only destroy a city of 150,000 people, and in an attack on the German ** team, it can destroy at most a division. Roosevelt spoke slowly, and his words made everyone in the office suddenly change color. One by one, he swept the eyes of everyone in front of him and said in a deep voice, "I have told you the most important secrets of the United States. Now, do you think this weapon should be used on the battlefield? ”

"If the end result is unconditional surrender, then let's make a last stand." I don't know how long it took, but Marshall, the Chief of the Army Staff, finally broke the dead silence in the room and spoke in a hoarse voice. Looking at the faces of his colleagues mixed with fear, shock, hesitation, and worry, Marshall said again, "If we surrender here, this weapon will surely be captured or destroyed by the Germans, so it is better to put it into use resolutely, in the hope that the Germans will be shocked by the unprecedented destruction!" Germany's tenfold statement of retaliation is more like a verbal deterrent, if they really had this capability, they would have used it against us in previous battles a long time ago, where would it wait until today? I don't believe that the Germans would be so merciful, and have been hiding their trump cards for more than half a year. ”

"General Marshall, this is very likely to cause a devastating disaster for the American people!" Vice President Wallace was so shocked that he could not help but say, "If the Germans, like us, have only recently created this weapon, our action will inevitably provoke their strong retaliation." The people of the United States have already suffered terrible casualties, and we should not allow them to continue to be subjected to unwarranted harm. ”

Wallace looked around, hoping for the support of his colleagues, but he soon found that everyone around him was leaning towards Marshall's suggestion, and he had exchanged the last of his money for chips at the table! (To be continued......)
