Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 636 Beheading Plan
At this point in the war, the reserves, morale, and physical strength of both sides have almost reached the point where they can't bear it.No one is an iron man.The bodies of the victims on both sides and the fragments of the dead ships floated on the sea, and the smoke mixed with the pungent smell enveloped the entire theater.The sun is already fading in the western sky.

"My lord, do you want to chase him or not?" Liu Shangqing asked Sa Zhenbing for instructions by radio.

"What is there to chase? Our losses are not small. If we fall into the trap of the Germans in order to chase those broken ships, we will only be wiped out." In fact, what Sa Zhenbing is most worried about is that Three nuclear bombs. Fortunately, the aircraft carrier Qiuzi, the core of the fleet, did not suffer any losses due to its back and rear.In addition, six battleships suffered damage to varying degrees, more than a dozen cruisers were seriously or slightly injured, the number of combat personnel was reduced from 360 to 170, and 740 survivors were rescued. .

After eight hours of bitter fighting, the first head-to-head contest between China and Germany came to an end.

Sa Zhenbing immediately reported the results of the naval battle to Beijing. At this time, in the Ministry of the Navy, Liu Buchan and a group of senior naval officials were sitting on pins and needles. On the surface, this was a large-scale naval battle that had nothing to do with the army and air force, but Singapore If the fleet is destroyed, the nuclear explosion plan formulated by the emperor himself will fail, and it will also have a serious impact on the overall situation of the war.

After receiving the news, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly reported the battle situation to the emperor. Guan Xuqing was quite satisfied with the result, which fully proved the strength of the imperial navy in ocean-going operations. At this moment, Guan Xuqing was imagining that if What will happen to the navy's main force, the Beiyang Fleet, but the Beiyang Fleet has just experienced the Sino-Japanese War and needs training, so it missed this classic battle in the history of world naval warfare, which is undoubtedly a pity for the passionate Lin Taizeng.

Although Britain and France did not directly participate in the battle, Guan Xuqing immediately ordered Liu Buchan to call Britain and France, thanking the allies of the two countries for their timely assistance, and hoped that the support fleet could escort the Singapore fleet to its destination smoothly. Alexander port.

Britain and France sold a favor to China without a single shot. Of course they were happy, so they quickly replied that they were willing to escort the Allied forces.

At the same time, the foreign ministries of China and Germany announced the news of declaring war on each other almost at the same time, and the media of the two countries reported different results on this incident. A decisive victory was achieved and the strength of the opponent was seriously bruised.But the German media has the cheek to claim that in this battle, the Atlantic Fleet fully demonstrated its strength to China, and it also caused heavy damage to Chinese warships.

In the next few days, under the escort of the British and French fleets, the Singapore fleet successfully arrived at Alexandria Harbor. Here, the commander of the Singapore fleet, Sa Zhenbing, had a cordial meeting with Nassor, the leader of the Egyptian People's Armed Forces, and was also welcomed by the Egyptian people. warm welcome.

The southward advance of the Italian Communist Party and the German Communist Party made Egypt, an ancient civilization, under the shadow of war. Egypt was also one of the first countries to join the Allies and the League of Nations. Although Egypt fell, Nassor still led the way. His own armed forces were dealing with the Japanese army in the vast desert. As early as half a month ago, Nassor received a telegram from Beijing stating that China would take the lead in launching an attack on the German mainland by sea, but there was only one word in the telegram. There is no mention of the atomic bombing of Munich.

Encouraged by China's decision, Nassor and his subordinates immediately assembled most of their troops at the Alexandria Naval Port to provide the best and safest place for Chinese friends.

As soon as Sa Zhenbing and the generals of the Singapore Fleet arrived at the Alexandria Naval Port, they were warmly welcomed by Nassor. The two hugged each other tightly like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Nassor was full of tears, as if seeing Like a relative, he held Sa Zhenbing's hand and said: "The Egyptian people welcome you, and we are proud to have a great friend like China."

Sa Zhenbing was also very moved and said: "On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, I would like to extend my greetings to you and all the heroes who fought against Japan."

While the two were talking cordially, the Egyptians sent a large amount of military supplies to the Chinese warships, but they never dreamed that these warships carried super weapons capable of destroying half of Egypt.

"It's very difficult." When Sa Zhenbing asked about the anti-government struggle in Egypt, Nassor frowned and said: "The strength and equipment of the people's armed forces under my leadership cannot compare with the enemy's. It is Erwin Rommel, this guy is the military core figure of the German government, the African Armored Corps under his command is very powerful, we dare not confront them head-on, so we have to join forces with the Ethiopian People's Army in North Africa, Fighting guerrilla warfare and harassment warfare. At present, our strongest support force is the British Commonwealth Army led by Claude Auchinleck, the commander of the British Middle East battlefield. Now both sides are gearing up, and they are constantly gathering in the Alamein area, preparing for a A large-scale decisive battle. China's decision is really wise, and the Egyptian people will never forget their Chinese friends."

After everything was settled, the British and French fleets left the harbor and began to return, because the news just came that the German Navy was preparing to dispatch the North Sea Fleet to cut off the communication between the English Channel and the outside world. The fire once again burned to the doorstep of the British. In the current situation, this oceangoing team must return to rescue. They also hope to reproduce the majesty of the Chinese fleet and beat the Germans to pieces. However, judging from previous confrontations, such an idea is almost a luxury.

After the British and French fleets left, Sa Zhenbing repaired the damaged warship on the one hand, and on the other hand secretly extracted the three nuclear bombs stored in the bottom warehouse of the Qiuzi aircraft carrier, and installed them on three Sirius ocean-going bombers. , as long as Beijing orders, ready to fly to Munich at any time.

These three nuclear bombs were of the same level and belonged to the second batch of super weapons built. They were named "Thunderfire", "Thunderbolt" and "Thunder" by the military command. They were 3 meters long, 71 centimeters wide, and weighed 4000 kilograms.Using a gun-type design, there is a long tube inside, one end is a uranium 235 sphere and a neutron generator, and the other end is a piece of uranium 235 the size of a bullet. The inside of the barrel hits the sphere and neutron generator, triggering a fission reaction.The nuclear bomb contains 235 kilograms of uranium 60 at each moment, only one kilogram of which will undergo nuclear fission in the explosion, and the energy released is approximately equivalent to 235 metric tons of TNT high explosive.

Due to technical limitations, like the nuclear bombs dropped, the detonation design adopted by these three nuclear bombs is still very dangerous. If the plane carrying the nuclear bombs crashes, the uranium blocks in the bombs may be impacted and squeezed together. After critical mass, a large amount of radiation will be released, and there may even be a full-scale explosion.If the plane fell into the water, the bomb would likely detonate after entering the water.But even if ordinary bullets are fired into the inside of a nuclear bomb, it is difficult to detonate.

In order to be able to successfully complete this important task, the Ministry of Air Force modified the three planes in charge of transporting bombs on the basis of the Sirius strategic bomber. The ballast and life support system, with a combined weight twice that of a large bomber, is a formidable behemoth.

At the same time, the training of the Sirius bomber crew was also intense.This special crew training program is fully commanded by Zhang Zizhong, a special colonel of the Ministry of Air Force. Zhang Zizhong has served as a pilot commander in several air force bases in Europe and Asia. He has rich flying experience and has directly participated in the test flight of the new Sirius fighter.Due to the high secrecy of the "beheading plan", until now, except for Zhang Zizhong, the rest of the crew did not know their upcoming mission.

Considering the flight range of the plane, it is necessary to ensure a successful mission this time, because there is no airport to land on the way, and even if the fuel tank of the Sirius fighter is enlarged, the fuel it carries can only guarantee that they will go there once. , as long as there is a detour in the middle, it is very likely to fall into the sea halfway.

The next day, in the call from the Military Command, two more alternative cities were provided, one was Cologne and the other was Bremen.This is because Cologne is a famous city on the Rhine River in western Germany and a heavy industrial city, with a population second only to Berlin, Hamburg and Munich.Bremen is one of the most important ports and trading cities in Germany, and it is home to several world-class shipyards.In the call, the military department solemnly ordered a nuclear bombing attack on Germany on April 1906, 4!

After receiving the mission, Sa Zhenbing dispatched three bluebird reconnaissance planes to take off before the bombing, and scouted the weather conditions of the three cities that were the main and alternate targets.An hour later, Zhang Zizhong personally drove the No. 1 fighter, led the No. 2 and No. 3 fighters, carried three Thunder-class nuclear bombs, and six Lanxiang-type escort fighters took off from the Qiuzi aircraft carrier and flew towards Germany. It was 9:35 in the morning, the clouds in the sky were thin, and the visibility was excellent.

On the way to Germany, Zhang Zizhong received a radio from the reconnaissance plane that took off first, reporting that the sky over Munich was clear and suitable for visual bombing. Captain Liu Jun, a naval weapons expert, was about to drill into the bomb bay for the final assembly of the atomic bomb. After 10 minutes the assembly was complete and the atomic bomb was ready to go.The reason for this is for safety reasons. If the atomic bomb is assembled on the ground, an accident during take-off will destroy the entire Alexandria Harbor.
