    "There is no doubt that the Americans must be conducting similar research to us in the field of nuclear physics; if not, they would not be aware of the world-destroying power contained in this weapon. However, I do not think that the Americans will  We have more achievements in this field than we do," the thin Hahn said calmly, with a hint of confidence as a leader in the industry, "Since the discovery of heavy nuclear fission in 1931, we have been working on it.  Putting it into practical research, it took 7 years of theoretical exploration and industrial practice to finally achieve today's achievements. Considering what we have in this field, it is not easy to accomplish.  With a starting advantage, we have every reason to doubt the current actual progress of the Americans. "Compared with Hahn's positive attitude, Canaris, who is responsible for intelligence in North America, seems a little less confident. When faced with Qingying's inquiry, he was completely unconvinced.  It is impossible to tell the extent of the opponent's progress. We can only speculate that the opponent's nuclear weapons manufacturing started about three years ago based on the information about the scale claws in hand.  In fact, there is nothing that can be done about it. If the German intelligence agency can even get a glimpse of this level of core secrets, then its capabilities will already be in the category of gods!  "Dr. Hahn, if a nuclear bomb explodes in a field battlefield, how much damage will it cause to the army?" After pondering for a moment, Qingying asked again to the chief engineer of the "Godfall" project in front of him.  "¨I¨KYour Majesty, the greatest value of nuclear bombs is that they can be dropped into densely populated enemy cities, but they will not have ideal damage to field armies. Take the three 'Golden Kora' plutonium bombs we have built as an example.  , its estimated yield is 350,000 tons of tnt. The direct damage radius of the shock wave and thermal radiation during the air explosion is about 25 kilometers. Although the range of the penetrating nuclear radiation and radioactive contaminants is larger, the damage effect is longer.  Various pathological changes in the body will appear after several months or even years, and people can greatly reduce the absorbed dose by hiding behind obstacles such as cement walls and bunkers.  As long as our troops do not crowd into a small space like city residents and take correct self-rescue protection measures after the explosion, the final casualties will never be as high as 100,000 in a city," Hahn said.  He shook his brain full of professional knowledge and explained to Qingying in relatively simple words.  Hearing Hahn¡¯s words, Qingying began to make rapid calculations in her mind.  Although the current world structure has been messed up by himself, and various weapons have appeared on the battlefield at a speed that far exceeds the historical process; however, looking at it as a whole.  The situation still did not appear to be out of control.  The various cutting-edge technologies that Germany currently possesses are all the fruits of its targeted cultivation through massive financial investment during the interwar period. In nuclear weapons alone, Hahn's research team had been researching it as early as 15 years ago.  Provided strong financial support.  Now, even if the United States possesses such weapons beyond its expectation, it has every reason to believe that their number must be extremely limited - due to the lack of starting point and development time, the United States in this dimension is compared to history.  The monster that existed in 1942 was weaker by more than one level!  Under this circumstance, the changes that Americans can make on the battlefield through this weapon are very limited.  Even if one of their own troops is wiped out by them, the reinforcements from the rear will be enough to make up for these losses.  If I stop at this time, it will really be a stupid move against the United States: once it gives them time to enrich their nuclear arsenal.  This will inevitably make Germany more cautious in its future actions, thus making this preventive war meaningless.  Precisely because the United States may have nuclear bombs, it cannot stop moving forward!  "To hell with this statement from the Americans. We will continue to operate according to the original plan. We will use hard blows to make the opponent choose to surrender; if they dare to carry out a nuclear attack on our army, we will also use all our weapons to attack our army.  Use the same type of weapons to retaliate!" Qingying made a decision immediately, and her heart returned to its previous calmness and calmness.  Now that the war has reached the final stage, how could I give up all the previous successes because of an almost blackmail statement from the other side?  On June 17, the day after the U.S. government issued a nuclear strike warning, Germany and its allies issued a strongly worded joint statement.  Since this war was caused by the United States' first intervention in European affairs, Germany and its allies would never succumb to any difficulties they encountered; unless the United States government announced its surrender, the war would never end.  In order to separate the White House authorities from the American people and prompt a more powerful anti-war wave to erupt in local and congressional districts in the United States, Germany also issued a severe response in a statement: If the warmongers group headed by Roosevelt are still guilty of their past sins,  If it turns a blind eye and continues to frantically resist with the super weapons it mentioned, then Germany willWill respond tenfold.  At that time, all casualties and losses suffered in the United States will be attributed to the warmongers in the White House, not to mention that Germany did not predict what it said.  At the same time, three plutonium bombs and one powerful uranium bomb were also sent to four cruisers respectively under top-secret circumstances, and sailed toward Cuba at the other end of the ocean overnight at an average speed of more than 26 knots.  Once the Americans really use nuclear bombs, the German army can immediately counterattack and deliver unprecedented terror of death to the opponent's head. The e-264 heavy bomber is enough to carry a nuclear bomb weighing 4 tons to carry out bombing missions. As early as  Shortly after the war in Europe ended, the crew members of a flying group had already begun relevant professional training. Their key project was to drop a super bomb weighing more than 5 tons from an altitude of 9,000 meters to 300 meters from the center of the target.  area within the error.  The only factor restricting the German army's use of nuclear bombs now is how to successfully deliver them to the target.  At present, the ground anti-aircraft artillery and land-based aviation of the US military are still quite powerful, and it is almost unimaginable for German bombers to fly solo missions.  However, the German army also found countermeasures from previous strategic bombings.  For the heavy bombers dispatched in groups, the US aviation seems to have no good interception methods. They can only rely on large-caliber anti-aircraft guns to deal with these steel fortresses roaring from the sky. The German army's battle damage rate in a single bombing is probably only  Around 6%.  If bombers carrying nuclear bombs are mixed into the formation, there is a nearly 95% chance of successfully flying over the target; and in order to avoid the devastating shock wave generated by the nuclear bomb explosion from injuring friendly aircraft, the bomber crew carrying nuclear bombs can choose the last one.  Drop the bomb.  As long as the early preparations are thorough and the execution is decisive and powerful, success can be achieved in one dispatch.  The resolute attitude of the German government has made the White House authorities panic.  Their original plan was to bring Germany and themselves back to the negotiating table, but unexpectedly, the other party not only ignored the super-military threat they issued, but instead responded in kind, using the same threat to urge them to immediately  surrender!  White House senior officials held an emergency meeting overnight in the presidential palace to discuss how much truth there was in Germany's statement: did the other party simply not believe that it had such a weapon and thought it was bluffing, or did it already have it?  With a powerful enough trump card, he is completely unafraid to launch a peak showdown between gods?  "I have to regretfully inform you that the United States has only produced one of this revolutionary super weapon, and the next one will have to wait until Christmas half a year later. It has a strong impact on the core raw materials.  The demand is too harsh, and our current production capacity can only reach this speed. And in terms of power, it is not as powerful as everyone imagined before. One bombardment can only destroy a city with a population of 150,000.  At most, one division can be eliminated in the attack on the German army." Roosevelt spoke slowly, and the words he said made everyone in the office couldn't help but suddenly change their expressions.  He scanned the eyes of everyone in front of him one by one and said in a deep voice: "I have informed you of the most core secrets of the United States. Now do you think that this weapon should be put into the battlefield?" "What if in the end?  If the result is unconditional surrender, then let us make a last-ditch effort." After an unknown amount of time, Army Chief of Staff Marshall finally broke the dead silence in the room and spoke in a hoarse voice.  Looking at the faces of his colleagues around him that were mixed with fear, shock, hesitation, worry, etc., Marshall said again, "If we surrender, this weapon will definitely be captured or destroyed by the Germans. Instead of that,  It would be better to resolutely put it into use in the hope of shocking the Germans with unprecedented destruction! Germany's statement of tenfold retaliation is more like a verbal deterrent. If they really had this capability, they would have done it long ago.  They used it against us in previous battles. How could they wait until today? I don¡¯t believe that the Germans would be so kind. They have been hiding their ace for more than half a year. " "General Marshall, it is very possible to do this.  It will cause devastating disasters for the American people!" Vice President Wallace was shocked and couldn't help but said, "If the Germans are like us and have only built this kind of weapon recently, our  This action will inevitably lead to strong retaliation from them. The American people have suffered extremely heavy casualties, and we should not let them continue to be harmed for no reason. "Wallace looked around, hoping to get everyone.  With the support of his colleagues, he soon discovered that everyone around him was actually leaning towards Marshall's proposal, and they exchanged their last fortune into chips and threw them on the gambling table!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
