Chapter 798: Stars Fly Beyond the Sky
"On December 7, 1940, the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet launched a sneak attack on our Manila base without warning. Feeling that war was inevitable, the other side must have realized that there was a huge gap between it and the empire in terms of overall national strength, so they followed the example of the Russo-Japanese War in the past and preemptively launched an attack while the main forces of our army had not yet been completely transferred eastward. However, the alert Imperial officers and men had long been ready to meet the battle at any time, and in the end, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft only achieved a modest record of slightly damaging two of our aircraft carriers. Less than ten days later, the Japanese military regime paid the price for their madness, and Germany gained a godlike deterrent that no empire in history could have. Secretary of State for the Navy Raeder wrote in his memoirs.
――――――――――
The wind is shouting, the ice is biting, the land of Siberia is thick with frost and snow, vast and white, and its desolation and desolation; It's like a frozen wasteland abandoned by God. However, the industrial achievement created by mankind is to overcome the harsh winds of this frozen snow country. In the long whistle, a train is rolling eastward under the traction of the three locomotives, and more than 40 carriages connected from end to end stretch like a long gray dragon. The train crossed the lofty mountains and crossed the reckless plains, without any stoppage on the way due to the raging winter wind and snow; When the white red sun rises for the sixth time from the eastern mountains, the signage of Vladivostok is close at hand.
On December 8, the special train departed from Moscow and headed east along the Trans-Siberian Railway: the train was loaded with loaded German soldiers and carried nearly 30 wagons of goods. In the eyes of insiders in Germany, Imperial Russia, and Siberia, this was undoubtedly the most normal move for the German army to project its forces into the Far East: a year ago. Berlin has already signed a mutual assistance treaty with Omsk. The Trans-Siberian Railway, established in tsarist times, was thus opened to the German army. The only thing that's different from the previous ones. It was the Germans' use of the railway that changed from secrecy to openness: the officers and soldiers who set out no longer wore the uniforms of the Siberian state, and the number of departures was no longer restricted in order to hide from the public. After all, the war between Germany and Japan had already begun, and the railway was an ideal shortcut for Germany to build up its land and air power in the Far East: it only needed to cover a journey of about 13,000 kilometers to launch a fierce attack on the enemy.
However, thousands of miles away in Berlin, Qingying, Ekmann, and Manstein poured unprecedented attention into this special train. Because on this seemingly ordinary special train, there are six miniaturized plutonium warheads with a yield of 30,000 tons, which already accounts for nearly one-third of the total current German nuclear arsenal. Although the Siberian state had already deployed a fairly large number of troops on the border with Manchuria, including two German divisions that had arrived secretly in the early stage. However, since the end of the Trans-Siberian Railway is extremely close to Manchuria, and some sections are even less than 10 kilometers from the national border, the transportation situation is not reassuring. If the Japanese army marched northward, the railway line would be in danger of being cut off; Once this happened, the Germans had no choice but to change their plans and get these high-risk items to Vladivostok by air. Although air transportation may sound far more convenient and faster than train transportation, the long-distance air transportation of nearly 3,000 kilometers in the snowy and roaring mountains of Eastern Siberia is definitely not a simple task; In the event of an accident, the loss of nuclear bombs was small, and it was alarming Japan that was difficult for the German government, which intended to end the war in a short time, to accept!
Luckily for you. Japan has already pinned down too many troops on the mainland battlefield, and the newly recruited soldiers at home are still being trained; With the forces they are currently deploying in Manchuria. It will be difficult to open a second battlefield to the north. In addition, the strict secrecy imposed by Germany kept the Japanese base camp ignorant of their secret plans to build a missile launch base in Vladivostok, thus weakening Japan's vigilance against the threat from the north to a large extent. In the eyes of the Japanese base camp, although Omsk had already conspired with the Berlin wolf bèi and placed hundreds of thousands of troops on the Manchurian border, it did not declare war on itself after all; At present, his first priority is to achieve victory in East Asia and the South Seas, and there is no need to launch another attack to the north, and the overall strategy of maintaining the status quo towards Japan is the situation that he is most happy to see at present.
After nearly two days of intense and anxious travel, the special train carrying nuclear warheads finally arrived at the eastern end of the Trans-Siberian Railway in the early morning of 15 July. The platform flashed with a regular bright yellow light, which was the code word of the guò lights of the transport trucks sent by the German missile base; The two sides quickly identified each other and unloaded the bombs onto the trucks in a mixture of other cargo. Thirty minutes later, the convoy drove into a heavily guarded valley base, and was greeted by a German lieutenant general dressed in a Siberian military uniform; Not long after, an encrypted code word was transmitted to Berlin, nearly 10,000 kilometers away, through guò radio waves, and Qingying and others, who had been waiting nervously, also breathed a sigh of relief.
The waning moon faded, the stars disappeared, and at dawn, all six nuclear warheads were loaded on the top of the V4 missile. The morning sun shines brightly, shining brightly on these towering pillars, which weigh more than 40 tons. Thanks to the efforts of the relevant technicians at the Penemünde base, this medium-range missile was finally declared in service four months ago, nearly half a year earlier than scheduled. The delighted Qingying quickly ordered the missile to be delivered to the Vladivostok base, and when the nuclear warhead arrived, it could be fused into a world-changing Zeus hammer in one fell swoop. At present, these missiles were assembled at the base site from parts more than a month ago, waiting for the most critical warheads to arrive from the mainland. And the reason why Qingying did not deliver nuclear warheads in place before the outbreak of war was also out of prudence and prudence; If the main force of the Japanese army attacked this place due to the leakage of intelligence, then Germany would only throw some empty shells to the other side, and once even the nuclear warhead fell into the hands of the enemy, then the whole situation would be turned over! But now, the ultimate weapon is finally ready to be deployed; Compared to the way it was dropped by bombers a few years ago, its combination with ballistic missiles is the most terrifying means of warfare!
In the early morning of the 15th, Berlin time, the German government issued a solemn notice to Japan: the Japanese people must evacuate from more than ten industrial cities such as Osaka and Yokohama within 12 hours and take refuge in the sparsely populated countryside, otherwise they will suffer a doomsday catastrophe like the sky falling apart. At this time, Japan was still immersed in the festive atmosphere of the "great victory" of the surprise attack on Manila Harbor a week ago: according to the battle report sent back by the Navy to the base camp, they sank a total of 2 Dukong carriers, 1 Dukong warship, and 7 Dufu, severely defeating the enemy's Far East Fleet. Due to the long-standing estrangement and hostility between the Japanese army and navy, the top levels of the government, including the prime minister and the minister of war, were not aware of the fact that the naval aviation had suffered heavy losses in this unsuccessful raid; And even if the navy swept away all the facts and revealed all the facts, the Japanese army base camp would not change its attitude towards the war because of this.
Under these circumstances, the Japanese base camp completely dismisses this statement issued by the German government. Even if Germany were to retaliate for its own sneak attack, it would not be easy to achieve at present: as Germany's core base in the Far East, the Philippines is nearly 1,800 kilometers away from the southernmost tip of Japan's island of Kyushu, and unless the other side wants to make only a one-way death flight, it is impossible to launch such a fierce air attack on its own Honshu cities. The main force of the opponent's fleet has just been severely damaged by itself, and at this time, the risk of going deep into the coastal waters and attacking the mainland's own territory with carrier-based aircraft is completely worth the loss. The only hidden danger comes from Vladivostok in the northwest, which is only a thousand kilometers from the core hinterland of Japan, and even within the combat radius of medium bombers; However, according to the intelligence obtained by the Kwantung Army, there is no indication that a large number of fighters have gathered here. As long as the other side can't make the kind of bombing of thousands of planes that covers the sky and the sun, the Japanese base camp will not have any fear; You must know that your own territorial air defense is not vegetarian, and sporadic enemy planes cannot pose a substantial threat to yourself at all.
"The time has come to make this crazy people feel the fear." Half a day flew by like flowing water, and Qingying muttered in the dark night that was gradually dimming. I have done all the foreplay, and the next qiē has nothing to do with me. At this time, on the other side of the world, in Vladivostok, the brilliant red sun was poking out half an arc from the vast blue waves. With the rising sun, a thick and strong nuclear missile also rumbled into the sky in the brilliant and brilliant tail flame, and broke through the sky with the majestic momentum of a dragon soaring and flying; Up to this point, the vast majority of people in the missile base still didn't know what they had just done, they only vaguely felt that it would be related to the war, but no one could have expected that this would become a symbol of the end of this war that had just broken out!
Eighteen minutes later, the first nuclear missile flew over the center of Hiroshima, 986 kilometers away. Under the combined action of a number of new guidance machinery, the final landing point deviated by only 3.1 kilometers, which is a completely acceptable margin of error for an air-burst nuclear bomb that is itself a map gun. The unsuspecting Japanese soldiers and civilians only felt that hundreds of sun-like blazing lights suddenly burst out of the sky, followed by a terrifying catastrophe that destroyed the world and destroyed the world......
