Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

"Return!"

After dropping all the bombs in a swaggering manner, the German bomber formation walked away.

More than 500 tons of napalm and thermite bombs were dropped on the urban area of ​​Chicago, setting off raging fires; the industrial areas in the suburbs were even worse, with more than 1,000 tons of napalm and thermite bombs, and the entire industrial area was reduced to ashes.

The city is filled with the sirens of emergency vehicles and fire engines; but when firefighters use high-pressure water cannons to spray water jets at the distant flames, the blazing flames do not go out, but instead burn more and more fiercely. Faced with the high temperature and heat wave, the firefighters could only retreat step by step.

"Damn it! Stop spraying! Turn off the water cannon!!" Looking at the increasingly raging fire, the fire captain ordered loudly.

"Captain, what's going on?" Some rookie firefighters who had just started working looked at the fire in the distance with horror and asked in a trembling voice.

The captain frowned. "It should be that some chemical accelerant was added to the German incendiary bombs." As an experienced firefighter, he has participated in countless fire-fighting operations. He naturally knows that fires caused by certain chemical items cannot be extinguished with water. Water and chemicals The substances will react and release oxygen and hydrogen that support combustion. Extinguishing the fire with water will add fuel to the fire.

His guess was correct. During the production of napalm, various active alkaline metals such as calcium, barium, etc. are added to make the hydrogen released by combining with water burn again, which increases the combustion power. At the same time, at high temperatures, , the oxides will continue to decompose, releasing oxygen to sustain combustion.

"What should we do?"

The captain sighed. "This kind of fire can only be covered with sand or foam." But with such a large burning area, where would they find so much sand or foam to put out the fire? "Water the nearby buildings to cool down." This is the only way to stop the spread of the fire. There was nothing else to do except a sudden rainstorm like the one during the 1871 fire. But he knew that there would not be even drizzle in Chicago this month, let alone heavy rain. Fortunately, today's Chicago is not the wooden building of 1871. Reinforced concrete has replaced the original wooden structure houses.

However, reinforced concrete is not 100% fireproof. Not to mention that the core temperature of napalm bombs and thermite bombs when they explode is enough to melt steel. Even if it is an ordinary fire, a building will not only have steel bars, but also a large number of them. Combustibles. For example, interior doors, wooden floors, curtains, furniture, clothing, home appliances, various plastic pipes, wire sheaths, etc. As long as the temperature is high enough to reach the ignition point of these materials, they will burn. Once they cannot be controlled in time, they will gradually ignite other combustible materials around them and the fire will spread.

While these firefighters were spraying water on nearby buildings, a firefighter on a motorcycle hurried over. "Captain Lewis, the fires in blocks 15 and 18 are about to get out of control. White asked me to tell you to evacuate the city quickly, otherwise you will be surrounded by fire!"

"Oh, Shet!" Captain Lewis was shocked and quickly called to other team members. "Quickly, pack your things and prepare to evacuate!" If they were surrounded by such a fire, they would be dead.

Everyone did not care about continuing to spray water, immediately packed up their equipment, got in the car, and drove towards the suburbs.

"These damn Germans! How abominable!!"

In the car, many team members angrily cursed these hateful Germans for dropping so many terrible incendiary bombs at once. It was simply crazy!

Some people also cursed those in Washington. "Those officials in Washington are not good people. If you can fight, then fight; if you can't, then make peace; what's the point of being a coward like now and being bombed all day long?" If you can't fight, then make peace. This is a matter of course; If the party that proposes peace talks pays some compensation and cedes some territory, who will make you less powerful than others? If you are not convinced, you can still recharge your batteries and plan for a future war. But now, with cities being bombed one after another by the Germans, what will be left of the United States in the end? Hundreds of cities in ruins and thousands of corpses? These losses alone are enough to cover the compensation several times, right?

Someone continued. "I heard that they also thought about peace talks, but the conditions proposed by the Germans were too harsh and the talks failed."

When the others heard this, they immediately became interested. "What conditions did the Germans put forward? Why can't they accept it?"

"I don't know the specifics, but you can refer to the fate of the British Empire. Didn't the Germans try British Prime Minister Churchill as a war criminal? They will definitely also try the two former presidents Roosevelt and Wilkie and even today's Vice President Truman and others were all classified as war criminals and brought to Europe for trial. The Germans also stationed troops in the UK and would also demand to station troops in the United States. In addition, there would definitely be sky-high compensation."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. They wanted to drag the former president and the current vice president to trial. It was surprising that they agreed.

"The British didn't agree to these conditions at first, but later they were beaten to the mainland by the Germans."

"Are the Germans also going to attack our American homeland?"

"Why else would those bastards build the 'Atlantic Defense Line' and the 'Pacific Defense Line'? To build these defense lines, it would be better to develop more powerful fighter jets to intercept German bombers." It has been so long since the United States was bombed for the first time. , until now there is no way to intercept these bombers, they are simply a bunch of rubbish!

"Why don't these Krauts bomb Washington?"

"I heard that there are thousands of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns deployed around Washington, and the German bombers can't get close at all."

"Fart, what I heard is that Washington has been bombed into rubble. What's the use of the Germans continuing to bomb the ruins? As for those large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, they can't intercept the German's 'flying bombs' and ultra-high-altitude bombers. They are just like decorations. "

In the blink of an eye, the car had already driven out of the city and stopped in an open space. Everyone got out of the car and looked at the smoke-filled urban area in the distance, feeling very uncomfortable. After all, they are firefighters, and putting out fires and rescuing people is their first duty, but now they are far away from their battlefield like deserters.

Captain Lewis sighed and muttered defensively. "There is nothing we can do about it. If we continue to stay there, not to mention putting out the fire, our lives will be at risk." Fortunately, most residents of the city have evacuated to the nearby countryside in advance. The fire caused The casualties in should be much lower than those in New York City.
