Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 904 Soviet Military Parade (3)

"What? There's a military parade in Red Square tomorrow?!"

Eisenhower, commander of the U.S. Expeditionary Force, who received the short notice, could not help but widen his eyes.

Is there something wrong with these Soviet people's minds? What time is this? What kind of military parade is this? !

"Aren't they afraid that the German bombs will drop and kill them all?!" This must be Stalin's idea again, right? When did these guys become so brave? So starting tomorrow, will we collectively return to the ground and continue to work and live despite the fierce bombing by the Germans?

The adjutant also explained helplessly. "Isn't it Christmas? The German bombings have stopped. The Soviets want to take this opportunity to hold a simple military parade. I'm afraid it won't even take an hour."

"..." Safety can be guaranteed, but the Germans displayed various advanced weapons in the military parade. What did the Soviets have? Any kind of embarrassment?

Just as Eisenhower was cursing in his heart, the adjutant scratched his head and said with some embarrassment. "Commander, the soldiers below are clamoring to celebrate Christmas and have Christmas dinner."

Like Europe, Christmas is also a very important holiday in the United States, as important as their Independence Day. From the day after Thanksgiving, Americans start getting busy for Christmas. At Christmas, most families will decorate Christmas trees, hang lights and buy decorations. These decorations can be accumulated all the time, and from childhood to adulthood to old age, there will be more and more decorations on the Christmas tree.

And because the United States is a multi-ethnic country of immigrants, immigrants from various countries still mostly follow the customs of their home countries. It can be said that American Christmas customs are quite colorful.

As for what the soldiers wanted to eat for Christmas dinner, it was mainly roast turkey.

Roast turkey is an indispensable dish in American Christmas dinner. This custom comes from the United Kingdom, where the traditional custom at Christmas is to eat roast goose. The Europeans who immigrated to the Americas did not have the conditions to raise so many geese, so they used local turkeys as a substitute. Over time, eating turkey became an American tradition.

But where can we get so many turkeys at this time? If the transportation line between the Soviet Union and the United States was still there, it might be shipped directly from the country, but now not even a grain of rice or a bullet can get through, let alone a turkey.

Eisenhower sighed helplessly. "Tell them that we are here to fight, not to eat turkey for Christmas. I will definitely treat them to a Christmas dinner next year!"

Of course, he was not sure whether he could fulfill this promise. Next spring, the decisive battle between the Soviet Union and Germany will begin. Judging from the German army's experience in capturing Leningrad, Stalingrad and other places, the victory of the Moscow Battle can be as short as half a year or as long as one year. There was little hope of defeating the European coalition forces. Eisenhower only hoped to severely damage them and buy the United States more time.

The next day, a group of U.S. military officers and Soviet high-level officials came to Red Square to participate in the military parade.

Looking at the heavy snowfall falling from the sky, Eisenhower relaxed a little and muttered. "It seems that the German bombers will not come today."

The commander of the Expeditionary Army Air Force on the side looked nervous. "Commander Eisenhower, don't you know that the German bombers do not use visual aiming at all?" When the German army bombed the Kremlin for the first time, the sky was covered with thick clouds, but the bombs dropped by the German bombers were still accurate. fell inside the Kremlin, and the continuous night bombings these days also indicate that the Germans must have developed some method of not requiring visual targeting.

Eisenhower's expression changed and he cursed softly. "Damn it, why did you forget this!" Snow usually forms at altitudes above five or six thousand meters, and rarely exceeds ten thousand meters. The German bombers flying at an altitude of 14,000 meters will not be affected by the snow at all and can bomb as usual.

Thinking of this, Eisenhower whispered to the surrounding officers. "Be smart, if anything happens, go back to the basement immediately!"

Everyone sat on the viewing platform with some trepidation.

Sure enough, before Stalin's speech was over, there was an earth-shattering explosion in the distance.

Everyone was startled, and Eisenhower ran toward the nearest entrance to the underground air raid shelter. Fortunately, these Soviets are not too stupid, and the entrance to the air raid shelter is only a few steps away. After rushing into the air-raid shelter entrance in a few steps, Eisenhower did not dare to relax. Judging from the power of the explosion, it was at least a one-ton bomb.

He continued to run forward, rushed into the elevator, and returned to the ground dozens of meters deep before he breathed a sigh of relief.

When I returned to the office, I took out a small wine bottle from the drawer of my desk and took a sip to relieve my shock.

The adjutant who was beside him also looked shocked. "Is this a German missile?" The Soviets must have deployed many warning posts and radars outside Moscow. But there was no air raid siren, and the explosion happened so suddenly. It must be the German ballistic missile whose terminal speed can reach more than ten times the speed of sound, right?

"How stupid!" Eisenhower cursed after taking another sip of wine. "Now that's good. I wanted to show my face, but ended up exposing my butt. It feels so good to be whipped so naked, right?!" I heard that Stalin's speech just now was simultaneously broadcast to the world? This is good, the whole world knows that the Soviet military parade caused trouble for the Germans. Maybe rumors that Stalin had been blown up were already flying.

The adjutant whispered with some gloating. "Do you think Stalin has been blown up?"

Eisenhower glared at him and said angrily. "If he is really blown up, I'm afraid we will all become prisoners of the German army." If something happens to Stalin, will his successor still resist firmly to the end? At that time, they will not become prisoners of the German army like those friendly forces in the Far East.

"..." The adjutant scratched his head in embarrassment.

The two of them just listened in silence to the explosion sound above their heads.

"Doesn't this thing cost money?" There were dozens of explosions above, and the nearest one seemed to explode above their heads. The cost of this thing shouldn't be cheap. If you throw so much at once, the Germans don't care about the money?

Although the target of these missiles is the viewing platform of the Red Square military parade, unfortunately, with the current guidance technology, it is impossible to achieve accurate hits. The German missile force fired a hundred missiles at once, but only two landed near the viewing platform. When the two missiles fell, Stalin and a group of senior officials had already returned to the basement unharmed.

Several missiles landed among the troops being reviewed, causing huge casualties.
