PS: Thank you for your generous reward ^_^ again from the book friend "My feelings after reading this book".

The Americans had no choice but to attack again, this time with a little better luck, and finally flew safely over the Western European continent, but they were intercepted by German planes before entering the German mainland, and the atomic bomb exploded on the outskirts of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, killing less than 1,000 people, including less than 20 Germans, and strongly arousing the anti-American sentiment of the Dutch, which was simply more than worth the loss

During this period, the Soviet Air Force on the Eastern Front seized the opportunity that almost all of the Luftwaffe and air defense units were transferred back to the Western Front to strengthen air defense under the deterrence of the US atomic bombs, greatly increased the frequency of sorties, quickly regained air supremacy on the front line, and cleared the way for the ground forces' major counteroffensive.

But what the Soviets did not expect was that before their full-scale offensive began, the Germans voluntarily retreated to the west of the Dnieper River due to insufficient troops, allowing them to hit the cotton with this heavy blow without being able to exert force. What made the Soviets vomit even more blood was that because the Germans retreated in an organized manner, they had time to wreak havoc on the industrial and transportation facilities of eastern Ukraine, take away most of the local grain stocks, and slaughter the Soviets in the prisoner of war camps and concentration camps

As a result, when the Soviet Red Army regained eastern Ukraine, it was already devastated, and the Soviet army was forced to suspend the pursuit and focus on helping the local reconstruction and transporting supplies, otherwise not only would millions of people starve to death in the local area, but the Soviet army's own supplies would certainly not be able to keep up.

By the time everything was basically done, it was already the spring of 1947. The frozen ground in Ukraine has begun to melt, and muddy roads are making it difficult for the Soviets to launch another offensive. The German army took advantage of the opportunity that the Soviet army's logistical supply could not keep up, and successfully thwarted the Soviet army's offensive by means of defensive counterattacks, during which the total number of Soviet troops killed and captured exceeded 400,000, but the Soviets finally succeeded in recovering all the territory before the outbreak of World War II, and the permanent attrition of the German army of no less than 150,000 shows that the German army's combat strength advantage is no longer obvious

By this time, however, the Soviet Union's manpower had been almost completely depleted, and a nuclear missile launched by the Germans at Liverpool, England, in June 1947 was a deterrent to the Soviet government. In order to avoid the Germans losing in a hurry, they sent nuclear missiles to Moscow and Leningrad. The Soviet Red Army had to temporarily halt the pace of its offensive on the old border, preparing to wait for the Allies to open a second battlefield to draw away hatred before launching a full-scale offensive

Thanks to the technology obtained from China, Germany was not able to explode the first atomic bomb before the United States, but it was not much slower. And the starting point is much higher. Although due to the limitations of national strength and investment. Germany's production capacity of weapons-grade uranium and plutonium is only one-third that of the United States. But with miniaturized atomic bomb technology, the German atomic bomb was more efficient for nuclear fuel and therefore more powerful (and in the case of uranium bombs). The amount of plutonium bomb is limited to the amount of nuclear fuel, but the volume of the nuclear bomb itself can be greatly reduced. ), which to some extent compensates for the lack of quantity.

More importantly, the miniaturized atomic bomb can be mounted on German ballistic missiles to attack targets at long distances, and it is far more difficult to intercept than aircraft, at the beginning of 1947, the Germans successfully developed the V-3 ballistic missile with a maximum range of 3,000 kilometers, which means that the Soviet Union's Leningrad and Moscow are within its attack range. But the mustache thought twice and decided to hit the British first to make an example

On the one hand, this is because the reliability and accuracy of the V-3 missile are not satisfactory for the time being, and it is difficult to ensure that it even falls within the urban limits when attacking a target as distant as Moscow, and on the other hand, because the biggest threat to Germany at present is actually the United States, and when the V-3 still cannot attack the US mainland, attacking Britain to force it to withdraw from the war and depriving the Americans of their main forward base is already the best choice.

In addition, this is also because the mustache knows that with the tenacity of the Soviets, even if Moscow and Leningrad are bombed, they will not be able to surrender to Germany, but will fight desperately with Germany, and now Germany's manpower is depleted and can hardly withstand a long-term ground war. Rather than this, it is better to use the deterrent power of the atomic bomb to discourage the Soviet counteroffensive

Unlike the original British Air War, Mustache did not choose London as the target of a nuclear strike, because the atomic bomb has a huge killing range, and if it really hits London, it is likely to directly end Qiu Fatzi and even the British royal family, who will surrender on behalf of Britain at that time? In the case that the German army was unable to land on British soil, if the British ruling center was destroyed, it would only lead to its complete fall under the control of the United States, which would obviously be very disadvantageous to Germany.

London couldn't fight, and the mustache wanted the Soviets to know that their missiles could hit Moscow and Leningrad, so he deliberately chose Liverpool, which was far away from Britain's major industrial cities. Although the nuclear bombs launched by the Germans did not accurately land in the center of Liverpool due to the poor accuracy of the missiles, the number of casualties was much lower than that of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in history, and even if the number of people who died in a month was added to the number, it was less than 10,000. However, because the center of the explosion was quite close to the Royal Navy shipyard in Liverpool, the powerful shock wave severely damaged this important British shipbuilding base, and the radiation contamination caused by the explosion seriously hampered the repair of the shipyard, which was undoubtedly a major blow to the British Royal Navy, which was still far from regaining its strength

Although the nuclear missile attack was a certain success, it did not bring the British government to its knees, and the mustache soon realized that now that Britain's lifeblood was controlled by the Americans, it was impossible for them to make peace privately with Germany without the United States, so the Americans had to submit to end the war.

However, Germany has not been able to hit the ballistic missiles of the United States at present, and due to the limitations of processing technology and materials, I am afraid that by the end of this world war, Germany will still not be able to build them. But in this seemingly helpless situation, Mustache's rich imagination is once again on display, and he proposes that the Navy can design a special torpedo with an atomic bomb as a warhead, and then send a submarine to attack American seaports (to be continued......
