    Jacksonville is located in northern Florida, USA, and is the largest industrial and economic center in the state. The urban area of ??600 square kilometers not only easily accommodates more than 500,000 citizens, but also has large factory workshops lined with chimneys.  In the current era, people have not yet realized the catastrophic damage that environmental pollution will bring to their lives. Factories and companies are everywhere built in cities: for workers, the close proximity to their workplace also makes them less likely to work.  It can be said that it is a better situation than the traffic trouble when going to work.  After rapid development in the early 20th century and the adjustment and stimulation of social production by the government's new policies in recent years, Jacksonville currently has three oil refineries, one systematic tank manufacturing base, and one affiliated with Republic Aircraft Company.  The total number of employees in the engine manufacturing plant exceeds 50,000.  Since the outbreak of the war, this industrial group has been providing military products that can be used as lubricants for the American war machine at all times.  Today, after 13 months of full-scale production for the American team, this source of all evil has finally been punished by thunder and lightning.  In order to cut off this source of blood transfusion for the American troops, the German army that occupied Cuba dispatched nearly a thousand fighter planes at one time to carry out bombings; the fuel and ammunition consumed by this wave of attacks alone required five merchant ships of standard tonnage.  One trip across the ocean for transportation.  After only ten seconds, countless bombs dropped by German bombers fell from the sky. From a distance, it seemed like a gray cloud was covering the sky. 9¡é³¤9¡é·ç9¡éÎÄ9¡éѧ, w¨Œ¡ð¡û  Over the city, countless black raindrops flew downwards.  "Boom! Boom!" The flames exploded in layers, the air waves surged and danced, and the terrifying power of high-explosive bombs that exploded has appeared countless times in previous wars.  But every time it was so majestic, terrifying and shocking.  In an instant, the cement road shattered and flew into pieces.  Building steel bars collapsed.  The deafening thunderous explosion caused the American people who were not familiar with war to scream and run around in extreme panic. Many people even suffered a nervous breakdown under the thunderous explosion. It was excrement.  The stench quickly spread beneath him.  Some people were swallowed up by the blast wave, their whole bodies were on fire, and they gradually turned into pitch-black scorched bones amidst the heart-rending screams; some people were broken into the body by shrapnel shooting in all directions, and their flesh and blood flew out in an instant.  Sprinkle, the intestines will be broken and the belly will be rotten.  It shook for a moment and then fell down.  Some people were hit by collapsed building fragments from the sky, with blood spurting out and bones broken and organs cracked; more people were scurrying around like headless flies in extreme fear, not knowing where the target belonged.  Thick smoke billowed and fire surged into the sky. The entire city of Jacksonville was filled with people running for their lives. Even the explosion of bombs could not cover up the hysterical screams and exclamations.  The sea of ????fire is noisy and rolling, advancing layer by layer, like thousands of red lions and fierce tigers roaring and rolling, trying to tear up and burn everything in front of them.  In addition to ordinary high-explosive bombs.  German bombers also carried a large number of napalm bombs whose main component was gelled gasoline; when the bomb body activated the fuse in a violent collision with the ground, the dangerous items loaded inside would be instantly ignited.  And pushed by the air waves, it splashed hundreds of meters away.  Most of the rolling flames currently igniting in the city of Jacksonville were caused by them.  ¡°To some extent, the damage caused by this napalm bomb is even more horrific than that of conventional bombs.  Not only do they contain extremely high chemical internal energy, but their physical properties are also as thick and viscous as lard; once a person is affected by such burning gasoline bombs sprayed in the sky, there will be catastrophic and horrific consequences.  Currently, residents in the industrial area of ??Jacksonville have become the first victims of this weapon.  The inexperienced people patted the flames with their hands or rolled on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames. However, the Americans soon discovered to their horror that not only were the flames on their bodies not extinguished, but they spread around them through the medium of physical contact.  It spread over a large area and eventually became uncontrollable!  Accompanied by a shrill scream, the person whose upper body was contaminated by napalm ran wildly and danced for a while before finally dying miserably. However, the raging flames were still surging on his body, and the burning of fat, flesh and blood filled the air.  A strong burning smell that makes people vomit and feel dizzy.  Because napalm contains extremely high thermal energy, its combustion is not only difficult to extinguish but also lasts for a long time. Even compared to the Amaterasu Black Flame which will never go out unless it burns out its target, its properties are comparable.  Americans could only watch their families and relatives being burned to death in the hellish flames, but were unable to carry out any form of rescue; some people tried to get close to those on fire to rescue, but were thrown away in the struggle.  The burning oil hit him head-on, and the flames roared high, and he soon met the same tragic end as the previous man.  And even if it is only contaminated with a little bit of napalm, it is an unbearable serious injury for ordinary people.  Because in addition to colloidal gasoline, napalm is also mixed with various chemical combustion accelerants. These additives burnThe highly toxic substances produced after burning will enter the body's blood along with the burning wounds caused by the flame on human skin, thus forming serious poisoning that coexists with burns.  For a long time in the future, they will have to live with endless trauma and pain. The pain of cleaning burn wounds makes the wounded feel like they are falling into hell!  After more than ten minutes of bombing, Jacksonville, an American industrial city with tall buildings and roaring machine tools, has now become as dilapidated and miserable as Tristram after being ravaged by Diablo.  The roaring sea of ????fire enveloped one-third of the city. Buildings continued to collapse and collapse. Some houses had been burned down to only their main structures composed of reinforced concrete.  Hundreds of people were trapped in the sea of ????fire, and only a few of them were lucky enough to escape the call of death. The rest all died of burning or suffocation in the fire.  Located in the industrial area at the center of the German aircraft fleet dropping bombs, it was almost impossible to see the scene on the ground: fiery red flames and black smoke had become everything in that area.  After taking pictures of the tragic scene in the target area with cameras, the German fleet embarked on its return journey with satisfaction; since the bomb bay had been emptied, their speed was obviously much faster than when they came. After a while, the aircraft in the Gulf of Mexico  The blue sky returned to the sight of the German pilots, and the land airport had already sent them warm congratulations in advance.  This large-scale bombing by the German Air Force caused an unprecedented heavy blow to the U.S. war industry.  Jacksonville's industrial area was almost completely destroyed, and it took three days to extinguish the fires ignited by air strikes where three oil refineries were located.  When American firefighters cautiously entered the burned factory, they found that all the production capacity inside no longer existed.  Machine tools were twisted and deformed, cables were melted and missing. The ground was covered with the ruins of various buildings and equipment. The charred human skeletons made some young firefighters bend over and vomit immediately.  And this is a relatively good situation in Jacksonville's industrial area.  A large number of factory buildings collapsed one after another in the explosions and flames caused by the bombing. The internal production facilities had long been crushed into broken scrap metal. Restoration and reconstruction would definitely not be possible without several months of work.  ¡°As the equipment production in the industrial zone suffered a devastating blow, it immediately had an immediate impact on the US military¡¯s frontline operations.  The US 6th Army in Louisiana was suddenly short of fuel, and its main force was forced to stay in place for the next two days, abandoning its right-wing offensive plan against the German 4th Army; while the latter's motorized infantry was fully consolidated  Their position completely surrounded the 19th U.S. Army in the encirclement at the core.  In the absence of reinforcements, the US military forces, which had no determination to resist to the end, even collapsed in fighting spirit. They collapsed only a dozen hours after the German army launched a general offensive.  In addition, the tank distribution of a newly formed armored division of the US military has also been affected, and the production and delivery of some fighter aircraft has also been continuously delayed due to the lack of engines; for the US military, which is already in a precarious situation in the current war, these blows have made them even more vulnerable.  The situation has become even worse.  "Compared with the destruction of industrial areas, the large number of casualties suffered by urban commercial and residential areas during the bombing had an even greater impact on Americans' confidence in the war.  A total of more than 30,000 people were killed in this bombing, and the flames caused by napalm bombs became the bloody executioner with the most lives.  This nation, which lives in the North American continent protected by two oceans, but continues to export wars to the outside world and puts the people of other countries in misery, is finally awakened by the huge pain of the war that happened to itself, and begins to reflect with an unprecedented profound attitude.  The meaning of this war is gone.  If they continue to fight like this, they will only be left with more tragic death and destruction, but they can't see the slightest prospect of winning the war!  A week later, the German Air Force concentrated more than 400 heavy bombers and carried out a large-scale bombing of New Orleans, the capital of Louisiana.  Although the US aviation force had made corresponding tactical adjustments in response to the disastrous defeat in the last air battle and did not directly charge into the opponent's strict array, it still failed to prevent the German aircraft group from dropping bombs.  A bearing factory and two bases producing guns and ammunition were killed in the raging sea of ????fire caused by napalm bombs, along with nearly 20,000 people.  Although the White House authorities tried their best to block the news, the disaster of the two major bombings quickly spread throughout the United States. The anger in the hearts of the American people due to consecutive failures was finally completely ignited, and an unprecedented anti-war wave swept the entire country.  Film North America.  (To be continued) ps: Thanks to book friend stevenfatman for his monthly ticket support, and zhouyu1976 for the reward~~~ Sincerely thanks to book friend Golden Crab for the large reward, the author feels a warm current in his heart
