Chapter 779: Armistice

After a fierce aerial engagement, the German bombers, which were actually carrying plutonium bombs, together with the surrounding robes, broke through the enemy's interception amid the roaring sound of engines. The deceptive tactics used by the Germans to cover the core bombers were extremely successful in this attack; Faced with more than 30 identical-looking planes, the American pilots could not carry out any targeted attacks, they could only force their way into the array of German heavy bombers like moths to a fire, and pray for the negligible probability of winning in the rare shooting opportunity. And this miracle did not befall them in the end. In the battle, which lasted more than 20 minutes, the Americans, together with the ground anti-aircraft artillery units, only shot down 4 German special bombers.

However, in order to obtain this insignificant result, the US fighter planes that took off to intercept it paid an extremely painful price. Because the bombers were located in the center of the opposing array, the US fighters had to pass through the stormy network of fire to have a chance to exert the power of their 12.7 mm machine guns. The German aircraft group was still nearly 100 kilometers away from Charlotte, and the American fighter planes collapsed on their own after this jade crushing impact; The American pilots, who had witnessed the massive death of their comrades, no longer had the courage to go to the center of the other side's queue to pull their teeth, and they soon fled in a hurry after a period of entanglement with the German fighters on the periphery, leaving only a small figure that had fled and turned into a wind and fire.

Forty minutes later, the sky above the center of Charlotte City burst into the sky like hundreds of suns appearing at the same time. Another plutonium bomb codenamed R. After the 32 pieces of nuclear material were compressed together in an instant, they detonated. In order to avoid letting the United States know the exact number of nuclear bombs that Germany possesses. The three Jinkela-type plutonium bombs were given the irregular codes M, R, and F respectively, leaving the Americans completely untraceable. In an instant, the light and heat radiation, which was ten times higher than the volcanic magma, and the impact of the tsunami-like waves, were instantly released from the center of the nuclear explosion, and everything around them was suddenly torn to pieces. The mushroom-shaped smoke and dust billowing into the sky, under the cover of the clouds, look particularly spectacular and strange. Although this method of heavy nuclear fission is not the core source of energy in the universe, and the energy released by light nuclear fusion is several orders of magnitude, but for the species on this living planet. The former's powerful power can also make them feel terrified from the inside!

The surging air waves carried the blazing heat, from hundreds of meters in the air to the earth on all sides of the hustle and bustle, along the way to destroy the withering and decaying, cracking the rocks and breaking the mountains, as if the angry sea roared, and the spring river collapsed. Buildings cracked and collapsed, trees snapped and flew upside down, vehicle glass shattered, and countless people went straight to the Pure Land Heavenly Kingdom without even snorting and snorting. Several arsenals were destroyed in the midst of the apocalyptic punishment. provoked a violently explosive explosion much smaller than a nuclear bomb, but still thrilling; The explosion of the oil depot was even more impressive, with flames and smoke rising hundreds of meters high. It is clearly visible even from tens of kilometers away. As the core base of the U.S. military's current home defense, Charlotte City undoubtedly has a large amount of war materials stockpiled, and when this nuclear bomb fell from the sky, most of them also disappeared.

On July 6, more than 150,000 people died in Charlotte, and the once bustling metropolis was transformed into a burning hell in ruins in just a few dozen minutes. The supply and personnel dispatch of the American army on the front line also fell into chaos with the destruction of Charlotte City, and the supply of more than 20 divisions was directly interrupted, and the German Army took the opportunity to advance, and soon achieved the victory it expected with the speed of thunder and lightning. And more crucially, the last shred of luck of the US authorities was shattered. The opponent's attainments in the field of nuclear weapons have far surpassed their own, and they will surpass themselves desperately in terms of number and power; In the current situation where the situation on all sides has collapsed, there will be no chance of any change if we continue to fight!

The stars are dotted and the lights are on. On the night of July 7, 1938, while most Americans were still toiling for their wartime livelihoods, a quiet, hoarse voice suddenly came over the radio and radio around them. Although the voice had not been heard for months, the Americans recognized its owner in a very short time: more than five years ago, it was this voice that gradually soothed the American people's deep fear of the economic crisis through an approachable fireside chat, and pulled the American economy out of the abyss of the quagmire. If it weren't for this erroneous war, its owner could have surpassed most of his predecessors and become an immortal hero in the eyes of the American people after the founding emperor Washington, the constitutional emperor Jefferson, the martyrdom of the Holy Ancestor Lincoln, and the old Roosevelt!

Compared to the first fireside chat more than five years ago, Franklin D. Roosevelt's voice was noticeably older; In addition to the irresistible power of time, the deterioration of his health is also a key reason. He succinctly told the national audience about the grim situation facing the United States and the sad situation in which all his efforts to save the day had failed. In order not to let the American people suffer more senseless losses, he decided not to exercise the powers of the presidency anymore, but to hand them over to Vice President Wallace to carry out; The new government cabinet had been reorganized, and a statement was sent to Germany requesting an armistice. And that's the last thing he can do for the well-being of the United States.

Today, although the vast majority of Americans no longer buy the wheelchair president's account, they still breathe a sigh of relief when they hear that a new government has been formed and an armistice has been made to Germany, and the expression on their faces is more joyful and relaxed than solemn and worried. The first condition for the opening of the peace talks put forward by the Germans was that the current government must step down, and now that the lame man has left office, then peace will not be far from him.

With the transmission of radio waves, the incident that happened in the United States soon spread to Germany on the other side of the ocean. Qingying is in the Charlottenburg Palace on the outskirts of Berlin, and she can still faintly hear the cheers and celebrations coming from the city center; At night, the black and blue sky is lit up by a myriad of bizarre fireworks that last from the beginning of the day to the dawn. Although the final peace treaty was still far from being concluded, and even a basic armistice had not yet been signed, Germany could have celebrated its victory in advance in the present situation of clear advantage. The explosions of the two nuclear bombs were blown by Goebbels' propaganda machine, which turned from a fission weapon of finite yield into a hammer of Zeus capable of sweeping away a qiē; The German people, fascinated by this brilliant technical achievement of their own army, were already convinced of any victory they could achieve.

"Congratulations to Emperor Gongmai for becoming the greatest emperor in German history!" In the main hall of Charlottenburg Palace, Prime Minister Ekman congratulated Qingying a little awkwardly. The current situation was enough for Germany to choose to stop and get a chance at the negotiating table through diplomatic means that it had not been able to obtain on the battlefield. And as long as a peace treaty is concluded, the United States will never be a threat to Germany; In addition to the suppression of traditional means, the nuclear weapons at the present disposal of Germany are enough to make any new conqueror who wants to go to the world can only stay honestly in his own small territory!

"We need to achieve a Carthaginian peace with the Americans in the initial armistice, first dismantling their most important fighting strength; As long as this step is achieved, then the Americans will be at our mercy on the chopping block. In the face of Eckman's prayers, Qingying, who has experienced too much, has long since faded away from the impetuousness of great joy, and even after winning a lot of money, he still maintains the calmness and composure that he first walked into the casino. For an adversary like the United States, which is distant and industrially strong, it must completely eliminate any chance of turning around in the armistice treaty. Although this represents an unprecedented and catastrophic setback for the American people, it can only be blamed for their guilt.

Knowing full well that the US government could no longer continue the war, the German government responded positively to the US request for peace on July 8, saying that it was willing to start peace talks with a new government that represented the true wishes of the American people. And this also made the hastily cobbled Wallace cabinet ecstatic. The delegation headed by Secretary of State Borry flew from Washington to Houston, an important city in the south of the United States, which is controlled by Germany, as soon as possible. However, the German side did not hold back on the terms of the armistice because of the positive attitude of the new US administration, and when the Americans saw this article with as many as 236 articles, their faces were unprecedentedly solemn.

In order to force the Americans to comply, the German government only gave the other side 36 hours to consider it, and they had no right to propose amendments to any of the provisions of the text, only to promise or reject them all. Once the time limit is exceeded, the current armistice will be automatically suspended, and Germany will continue to use any weapon, including nuclear bombs, on the battlefield until a satisfactory result is achieved. After some intense overnight discussions, the U.S. delegation finally chose to accept it in the 31st hour, and the burning fire finally ushered in its moment. (To be continued......)
