The Rise of the Third Reich

Chapter 1158 Fort Gotchi Plan—Perón’s Crisis

"boom!"

A ball of flames once again rose from the Plaza de Mayo in front of the pink Rose Palace. A large column of smoke was thrown into the sky, carrying gravel, soil or other things, and then sprinkled heavily on the ground, destroying nearby areas. An 88mm anti-aircraft gun was completely covered. The gunners were all disgraced and smelled of gunpowder smoke. If the American bomb hadn't fallen a little far away, some of them might have died heroically.

The New Asbania gunners who were nearly killed were not intimidated. They did not even brush the smoke off their bodies and went into the battle with all their strength again.

One after another, 88mm high-definition fuse shells purchased from Germany were stuffed into the barrel of the gun, and then the fuse was pulled. Under the thrust of the explosive explosion, the shells burst out and rushed to an altitude of five or six kilometers. They looked very dense. A group of American bombers exploded, blasting dense masses of "fireworks" in the sky. But not many American planes were hit and crashed!

However, the fire and aircraft groups that looked very dense from the ground became scattered and sparse at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters. The sky was so vast that the artillery fire and aircraft all dispersed. The American aircraft passed through the sparse artillery fire, and only a small number of 128mm radio proximity fuse shells (fired by the Luftwaffe's anti-aircraft artillery units) posed some threat. However, because there is no fire control radar to help with aiming, the power of these German anti-aircraft guns cannot be fully exerted.

However, the extremely fast surface-to-air missiles that rise from the ground from time to time can often shoot down the sturdy and huge B-17 and B-24 bombers. It is daytime with very good visibility. Whether it is the "Rhine Daughter" missile remotely controlled by visual inspection or the "Waterfall" missile using a variety of guidance methods, good results can be achieved.

The German Air Force and Navy now have a total of 5 surface-to-air missile batteries deployed in Buenos Aires, with a total of 20 launchers that can launch at least 60 missiles per hour. According to the hit rate of 20%-30%, it can always kill more than ten or twenty American bombers.

However, this loss is nothing to the group of American bombers in the sky that almost obscures the sky.

The bombing continues! Hundreds of thousands of tons of bombs and solidified weapons were dropped, shaking and falling to the ground with a scream. The low sound of bomb explosions resounded throughout the city, and the gray-white flames were mixed with gunpowder smoke and suffocating smoke. Heat waves soared away in the sun.

"Mr. President, we have just received a report from the Southern Air Defense Command that the Americans dropped a large number of solidified bombs..."

A new Asbanian army officer wearing a colonel's uniform hurriedly broke into the temporary presidential office located in the basement of the Rose Palace. He saw that federal President Juan Peron was still there and had amazing beauty but was annoying (which made this person The high-ranking colonel of the new Asbanian army (annoying) Evita Du****** spoke.

The latter is the Secretary of the Ministry of Labor of the New Asbania Federal Government. He doesn't seem to be a high official, but he holds great power. Because the Minister of Labor of the New Asbania Federation is Juan Peron himself, and this ministry is also a key department in realizing the so-called "social justice of the New Asbania Federation" and is also the head of the New Asbania Federal Government. The most powerful ministry in China!

Different from the imagination of the United States, Juan Peron, the leader of the army, relied on soldiers with guns to maintain his dictatorship. Although Peron came to power through a military coup, his current foundation is not the army, but the new Aspar working people of Nigeria. It turned out that under the influence of his mistress Evita Du******, Juan Peron did something unbelievable in the politics of South American countries after taking power - he actually asked the people for help while gradually realizing the seizure. Promise made!

For example, land reform with the goal of land for the tiller, truly raising the wages of the working class, using state funds to build housing for workers, nationalizing foreign (American) investment in New Asbania, etc. With this series of measures to win over people's hearts, not only did the lower class people in Argentina have a greater favorable impression of Peron, but the lower class people in Chile and Uruguay, the other two subjects of the federation, also began to regard Peron as the father of their country.

Therefore, the Americans' night air raids on Buenos Aires and their attacks on Chile did not shake Juan Peron's rule in New Asbania. However, the scale of the air raid encountered by Buenos Aires today seems to be a bit large!

Although he was hiding in the basement of the Presidential Palace, Juan Peron could still feel the astonishing scale of the American air raids from the dust constantly falling from the ceiling and the dull booms that came one after another.

What worried Juan Peron even more was that these American bombers dropped not only ordinary bombs, but also solidification that could cause fires! These solidifications may not pose much of a threat to wealthy areas with very empty buildings, but they are a fatal danger to slum areas with dense shantytowns. Just a few falling down might set the whole neighborhood on fire! The southern area of ​​Buenos Aires, which had just been hit by solidification, was full of shantytowns where poor people gathered.

Obviously, the Americans had done enough homework before the bombing, and they knew very well where to place the terrible solidified weapons to maximize the harm to the residents of Buenos Aires.

"What? The Americans dropped solidification on the Flores area?" Evita Du stood up abruptly, with a pair of beautiful eyes spurting out anger and a few crystal tears, and her pink fists tightened He pinched it, his voice trembling, "How could they treat those innocent people like this? I lived there, and there were many children and old people there..."

"How is the situation there?" Juan Peron frowned tightly.

"Mr. President, it's very bad...the fire is very big and cannot be controlled at all. I am afraid that large slum areas will be burned down."

"Is it that serious?" Peron took a breath. Although the poor people in Buenos Aires now support him very much, so that the pro-American upper class people dare not use street politics to deal with him, but now I don't know how many poor people there are. Losing lives and homes in air raids...it's hard to predict whether people's hearts will change as a result!

"Juan," Evita reminded from the side, "we must rush to the Flores area immediately after the bombing to express condolences to the people there. The Ministry of Labor has already prepared relief materials and organized doctors to be on hand at any time. Rescue can be carried out.”

Peron nodded, satisfied with the work efficiency of his secretary. "Evita, you go first." Peron frowned and said, "I'm going to meet with General Falkenhorst and General Canaris later... Now we must urge them to send more fighter jets. Come and defend Buenos Aires, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!”

Along the Atlantic coast, near the port of Buenos Aires, smoke filled the air, and artillery fire was fired into the sky more and more violently than in other parts of the city. After the bombing of the Buenos Aires military port, the German anti-aircraft artillery force took over the air defense of this area, deploying a large number of 128mm anti-aircraft guns that can fire radio proximity fuzes, and also set up several missile launching positions. There are even more anti-aircraft balloons than other places.

The Buenos Aires slums that were being attacked by the solidified gunpowder were near the port area. Fires were spreading everywhere, and many New Asbanians (Argentines) fled crying. Most of them were elderly people, women and children. They ran to the heavily guarded port area, and some people were arranged into sturdy basements. There were many sturdy buildings in the port area with basements. It was also the original home port of the Argentine Navy. There are many naval fortresses and anti-aircraft facilities that can be used as anti-aircraft bunkers - but there are still some people who refuse to enter the bunkers and just look at their homes that have turned into a sea of ​​flames and cry. Because their families are still there, and the situation is in danger!

Generals Falkenhorst and Canaris did not drill into air raid shelters. Their headquarters were located in an original Argentine Navy coastal defense battery. This fort is a product of the South American naval competition in the early 20th century. It is very strong and can withstand the bombardment of the 356mm main gun of the Chilean Navy Admiral Latorre-class battleship. Now the high-explosive bombs dropped by the Americans are naturally unable to do anything to it.

Two German generals stood at an observation port facing the city and looked out, looking at the city flooded by fire in a daze.

"God, how did these Argentines offend the Americans?" Falkenhorst said, "The Americans actually sent so many bombers."

Although he had been warned by the intelligence agency, Falkenhorst still did not believe that hundreds to a thousand planes would bomb Buenos Aires.

"This is a sign of weakness!" Canaris shook his head and said, "The Americans do not dare to do anything to Europe, nor do they dare to attack Santiago (Canaris does not know that the Americans are preparing to attack there), they only dare Taking advantage of the defenseless poor people of Argentina...just when Kennedy and Hess met for negotiations. This shows that the Americans are eager to seek peace, but they are unwilling to come up with sincere conditions and can only use this kind of massacre against civilians to intimidate. us."

"Will it be effective?" Falkenhorst asked. "Will Argentina delay Peron?"

Canaris snorted: "Maybe, maybe not. But we definitely have a way to maintain Peron's regime. Now the whole of Europe is behind Peron, and the pro-American faction in Argentina has nothing to do."
