Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Yannick frowned slightly after receiving the report on the river crossing operation in North Charleston. "The fighting will of these American soldiers cannot be underestimated."

He had already been mentally prepared for this. There is no need for the knowledge of later generations. In the American Civil War alone, two groups of Americans fought against each other and fought the deadliest war in American history. There are many troops who can still stand on the front line with over 70% casualties; the bayonet charge of the 20th Maine Infantry Regiment, Pickett's death charge; the troops who charged in neat lines with shells and muskets during the Civil War. Not a few.

The fighting will of the US military in World War II in the original time and space was also greatly reflected. In the Pacific, on Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Mariana, Leyte Bay, and Okinawa, the Japanese army, known for its fearlessness of death, was devoured by the other side in a battle with the US military, and eventually led to defeat. the road.

The fighting will of the American soldiers is indeed admirable, but now that Germany has even developed atomic eggs, it still has to pay a lot of casualties to achieve the final victory. This makes Yannick quite unwilling and unacceptable. "Reinhard, are the top U.S. officials still hiding in the underground fortifications of that military base?" After the indiscriminate bombing of Washington, the top U.S. officials collectively moved to the underground fortifications of the military base on the outskirts of Washington. Because it was deep underground, no matter how many bombs were dropped, it would not cause much damage, so the Luftwaffe bombed it once and left it alone.

Reinhard said respectfully. "Yes, Your Highness. However, the underground fortifications of that base are as deep as 120 meters, and our army's ground-penetrating bombs cannot work. Moreover, they store a large amount of high-pressure air underground. Even if there is no air supply on the ground, they can maintain a About a week. And the food stored can last for a month."

Yannick sneered. "Of course ordinary earth-penetrating bombs are useless. This time we use earth-penetrating nuclear eggs."

The destructive effect of underground nuclear explosions on underground targets is generally 20 to 50 times greater than that of ground explosions of nuclear bombs of the same power, and the radioactive pollution formed in the air is much less. To destroy a target 200 meters underground, only a 300,000-ton nuclear warhead is needed to penetrate 3 meters into the ground.

During the Cold War of the original time and space, in order to defend against possible nuclear attacks, both the United States and the Soviet Union built a large number of underground fortifications. These facilities were built tens or even hundreds of meters underground and could withstand the explosion of megaton hydrogen bombs on the ground or in the air. .

In order to destroy enemy underground facilities, the United States developed nuclear ground-penetrating bombs in the 1940s; the first nuclear ground-penetrating bomb, MK-8, was put into service in 1951. Later, in 1962, it was equipped with the B53 nuclear bomb. It is the most powerful bunker bomb equipped by the US military, with an explosion yield of 9 million tons of TNT.

After being thrown, it smashes to the ground, first penetrates into the ground through the earth-penetrating warhead, and then detonates, using the huge shock of the nuclear explosion to further kill deeper underground targets - with a yield of 9 million tons, it is not a light earth-penetrating nuclear bomb. If the equivalent of 100,000 tons is comparable, even an air blast can blast a horrifyingly deep crater on the ground, let alone drilling into the ground. According to calculations, even a headquarters-level super nuclear defense fortification hidden 300 meters deep underground cannot survive the B53.

The B53 became the trump card weapon in the nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union. The Soviet army has always been known for being good at building underground bunkers. Its submarine caves in the Sevastopol area and the leadership underground command posts in Moscow and Kuibyshev are all said to be able to withstand large-yield nuclear bombs. However, the B53's destruction capability can still ensure the destruction of these fortifications that are tightly protected or deep underground. The United States boasted at the time that it would carry out nuclear targeted killings of Soviet Russian leaders within an hour of the war and completely eliminate their leadership departments.

Although Germany has not yet developed a hydrogen egg at this time, an earth-penetrating nuclear bomb with a yield of several hundred thousand is still possible, and one has already been built.

"Since those stubborn guys refuse to surrender, then we will conduct a beheading operation to eliminate them all in one fell swoop. If the next batch of guys don't surrender, then we will continue to behead them."

"Draw up a plan for targeted beheadings of state government agencies." The shelters of these local officials cannot be at the White House level, and they can be easily destroyed with ordinary ground-penetrating bombs. When these high-level officials are gone, even if the soldiers at the bottom fight hard to resist, they will still be headless and unorganized flies.

"yes!"

The next day, three B52 bombers took off from St. Pierre and Miquelon and flew to Washington.

The top American officials, who were worried about the German troops landing in South Carolina, were stunned when they heard the news from the radar station.

The distance between South Carolina and the Bahamas is less than 1,000 kilometers, and even ordinary bombers can reach it. Why did the Germans specially launch bombers from the St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands?

When they learned that it was three jet bombers taking off, everyone's expressions suddenly became ugly. "Are the Germans going to drop nuclear bombs again?!" The last time they dropped nuclear eggs on San Antonio, there were also three jet bombers. Which city are they going to destroy this time? !

After a while, another message came from the forward radar station: German bombers were heading straight for Washington.

"Oh God!" Everyone was shocked. "Are the Germans going to bomb this place?!" Although the underground fortifications were 100 meters below ground, they knew that even the German super bombs would not endanger this place. But thinking about the energy that can destroy a city casually being released above one's head, anyone will feel scared.

Vice President Truman quickly called his secretary. "The Germans may be dropping a nuclear bomb, prepare to activate the backup air tanks."

"Yes." Truman smiled awkwardly as he watched his secretary hurried out. "Don't worry, we are safe here." According to reports from the previous Moscow battle, although the Germans had ground-penetrating bombs, they could only drill to a depth of twenty to thirty meters, and the limit could only be 50 meters.

Marshall asked. "Mr. Vice President, how are the discussions about moving the capital going?"

"The place chosen by the congressmen is Kansas." Kansas is located in the geographical center of the 48 states in the continental United States. It can be said that it is far away from the coast. There is no need to worry about the Germans using nuclear bombs to blow up super huge waves to submerge them. "But there are no underground fortifications there, and it will take time to build." No one had thought that the United States would be invaded before, and there were not many backup shelters.

Marshall nodded slightly. He also knew that this kind of underground project could not be completed in a short time. It seems that they will have to stay here until it is completed. If they rashly moved to another place, German bombers might come to bomb them within a few hours.

Everyone smoked silently and waited for the arrival of the German bombers.
