1855 United States Tycoon

Facts have proved that Dr. Atum's judgment of the wounded's condition is quite accurate. The wounded who was lying on the bed next to Hitler was carried out with a white cloth on his face in the early hours of the next morning. In the following days, Hitler witnessed several prisoners of war being carried out like this. A week later, Hitler was finally carried out, but the place where he was sent was different from those people. Those people were sent to a place for dehydration and decarbonization, and in the end only some things containing a lot of calcium were left, and then they were put in a small box that was easy to transport, and then labeled and loaded on the train, one car by car. Sent back to Germany. Although Hitler was eventually sent on the train back to Germany, at least the carriage he was in was not so crowded—the conditions at the frontline hospital were limited. Although Hitler’s illness had not yet healed, he could not even begin to heal. But since his condition has stabilized a lot, he should naturally be sent back to the back for treatment. The conditions in the large hospitals in the rear are much better, which is better for Hitler, and it can also free up the already tight beds for the field hospitals.

As a patriot, Hitler was very worried about the future of the war, especially worried that Germany was defeated by the British and French in the gas war because of the lack of rubber. This worry became even more worrying after he arrived at the rear hospital, because there were more soldiers injured by the poison gas in the rear hospital. And he learned from the doctor that the sequelae of this poisonous gas may be impossible to get rid of for a lifetime.

Just as Hitler feared, the French and the British did use gas bombs to solve the war. However, the emergence of one thing changed everything.

...

On the evening of October 15, 1914, several giants were pulled out of some huge warehouses in Frankfurt and onto a large empty space. These big guys in the shape of a spindle are the famous Zeppelin airships.

As in history, the Germans first built a large rigid airship and used it in the shipping industry. This kind of airship has advantages in almost every aspect other than the speed of the aircraft at that time. This behemoth 163 meters long can easily fly high above the flying altitude of any known aircraft at that time, and its carrying capacity far exceeds that of aircraft of that era. More importantly, it seems to be much safer than an airplane. If the airplane is flying in the air and the engine suddenly fails, only one end will fall and die. Even if the pilot turns a little faster when turning, it may be possible. Let the plane fall from the air. The airship is a lighter aircraft than the air, so even if it loses power, it will not fall down. Even if the pilot makes a mistake, it will not let the airship fall. In fact, there is no normal way to make this thing. It fell all over. Therefore, the Germans have always placed high hopes on this kind of thing. Especially when the British navy has obvious advantages, the Germans have almost no way to threaten the British mainland. Therefore, the airship that can fly over London in a volley and directly spread Death and terror in London is naturally especially valued by the Germans.

"Captain Linnaz, this mission is very important." An officer was taking advantage of the time when the Zeppelin was inflated to give a final explanation to the pilot who was performing this epoch-making mission.

"This bombing will usher in a whole new era. We must make the British realize the power of the empire, so as to force them to accept the peace led by the empire. And your action is an action that destroys the will of the British, and it will last forever. History..."

In this operation, in addition to bombs, the Germans also prepared airdrop flyers. After all, even the Germans understand that air strikes and bombs that can be carried by airships alone cannot destroy Britain at all. However, they believe that such bombing can bring great chaos to Britain. In order to avoid the bombing, the British would flee from the city. In this way, the production in the British factories would be greatly affected. Moreover, the British people will be tired of the war because of the bombing.

Yes, the Germans thought that way at the time. After they saw the Boer War and the British began to shrink across the board, they felt that a country like the United Kingdom, which has ruled the world for a century, would fall because of a few bombs. Retreat at home.

At this time, the inflating work has been completed. The German pilots boarded the airship, the tight cable was loosened, and the airship slowly floated and flew higher and higher...

The fastest speed of the Zeppelin is only about 90 kilometers, and this speed is also affected by the wind, so when the airship crosses the English Channel, it is already late at night. However, finding a target is not a difficult task for an airship, because there was no air raid in that era, so naturally there would be no lights to control, so finding a target at night is even easier than during the day. , Because Germans can see the lights of British cities far away.

At about two in the morning, the four German zeppelins arrived over London. At this time, London was still not asleep. The factories near London were busy 24 hours a day because of the war. No one noticed a few airships flying over their heads.

"Sir, we reached the sky above the target area No. 1." Navigator Sean shouted.

"Very well, prepare to slow down." Captain Linnack gave the order. So the leading airship began to use lights to signal to other airships to slow down. Unlike airplanes, airships that rely on air buoyancy can hover in the air. When dropping a bomb, the lower the speed relative to the ground, the easier it is to improve the accuracy of the bomb.

The four airships turned off their engines and glide forward by inertia.

"Prepare to drop the bomb!" Captain Linnaz ordered.

So the magazine under the airship was opened, and a string of bombs fell from the magazine and merged into the night. After a while, one could see the flames exploding on the ground from a distance. flower.

"Very good," said Captain Linnatz. "The British should wake up. Now we can drop the propaganda bomb. Are the propaganda bombs ready?"

"Sir, it's ready!" Ammunitionman Roma replied.

"Very well, drop the bomb," Captain Linnard ordered.

This flight by Captain Linnaz marks two firsts in human history. One is the first time that mankind used air strikes in warfare, and the other was the first time that propaganda bombs were dropped in air strikes.

The so-called propaganda bullets are actually just a large number of flyers. This special ammunition was used many times in subsequent wars. For example, in the original history of World War II, the Air Force of the Republic of China used this kind of thing to "bomb" Japan, and later, the troops of the barbecue mad Li Mei from the United States also dropped a large number of propaganda bombs in Japan.

The German bombing caused some panic. Although the Germans actually couldn't do what they boasted in the leaflet, they completely destroyed Britain from the air. But the seemingly unstoppable bomb that fell from the sky still made the British panic. Just in terms of the degree of panic, it even surpassed the degree of the Battle of Britain decades later in another time and space. Of course, this is not because the British in that era were braver than the British in this era, but because the British in that era were already familiar with the combat method of air strikes and were psychologically prepared for being attacked. The British in this era never thought that there would be such a thing as an air raid. I don’t know at all how powerful the air strikes can be, whether the air strikes are as completely unstoppable as the Germans brag about. And ignorance is the easiest to induce terror.

So the next day, there was an uproar in the British media. Almost all the media were asking whether the British government had measures to protect the British people. On the one hand, the British government declared that the German attacks on British civilians were frenzied war crimes. He said that he would definitely retaliate. On the one hand, he worked hard to reassure the people and promised to strengthen the local air defense so that the Germans would come back and forth.

In fact, in this airstrike, the bombs dropped by the Germans did not kill many people. In this airstrike, only 20 British people died, and only a hundred people were injured. And the bombs were left in the slums, so naturally there were no high-value targets that could be destroyed. But because the Germans threatened in the leaflets that if Britain continues to use chemical weapons indiscriminately on the battlefield, Germany will use chemical weapons to launch air strikes against Britain. Therefore, although the British government says that it is not afraid or not afraid, on the battlefield, they do not use mustard gas on a large scale to the German army for the time being, and in order to defend against possible air strikes, the United Kingdom has to build large air-raid shelters in the city, and More chemical protection equipment and corresponding drugs are stocked in cities. In order to deal with the airship, the British had to prepare searchlights for the city and urgently developed anti-aircraft weapons. All of this meant that the British had to invest more of their power into their homeland defenses, which greatly weakened the ability of the British to invest in the battlefield. In this sense, in this air strike, the Germans only used a small force, which dragged down a lot of the British manpower and material resources.

In general, the effect of the propaganda bombs dropped by the Germans was between the later Republic of China Air Force and the United States Army Aviation. The propaganda bombs dropped by them were far from the latter. Which Japanese city dropped a propaganda bomb for announcing air raids would have the effect of allowing half of the people in that city to go to the countryside to take refuge, but it was also better than the so-called warnings that the ROC Air Force dropped by the Japanese government that they were treated as toilet paper by the Japanese government. Things that slide farther and farther on the wrong road work much better. The reason is simple, because compared with United States, he dropped too few bombs, and most of the power of propaganda bombs originated from the bombs dropped before. However, compared to the kind of the Republic of China Air Force, a propaganda bomb that does not have a bomb is still much stronger. Because there is no bomb, the propaganda bombs that are expected to serve people with morality are nothing more than toilet paper.
