Chapter 1077

In early March 1945, Hess, the ruler of the Third Reich, summoned Marshal Kesselring, deputy commander of the Air Force and commander of the bomber force, to discuss matters related to a nuclear strike against the Eastern Empire.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, the Japanese people have been so arrogant and ruthless in recent times! The empire did not continue to attack the Eastern Empire's homeland. On the contrary, they thought that the empire was already afraid. This made the Japanese people start to cheer, thinking that they could withstand the empire's attack. It even boosted the morale of the Japanese people."Hess said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, these damn Asians are just short-sighted. How could they imagine what a powerful blow they would face from the empire next?"Marshal Kesselring said.

Hess nodded:"Yes. I have decided to launch a nuclear strike against the Eastern Empire. From the current point of view, the most suitable vehicle is undoubtedly the Air Force's strategic bomber. What plans does the Air Force have for this?"

Marshal Kesselring was also very excited that Hess chose to use the air force to carry out nuclear strikes. This means that the role of the Third Reich Air Force will be greater. Even after the war, the Third Reich began large-scale disarmament , the Air Force will not be greatly affected.

"Your Excellency, we currently have two options. One is to use HE-222 heavy bombers to transport nuclear weapons. The other is to use the HO-229 stealth bomber to carry out the nuclear strike. However, given that nuclear weapons explode, they will produce huge amounts of radiation. For our pilots, it will also cause great harm and threats. Therefore, we need to modify the aircraft used to release nuclear weapons and install radiation protection devices. This will sacrifice some ammunition capacity."Marshal Kesselring said.

Hess nodded. Once a nuclear weapon explodes, the huge radiation produced is indeed a very big threat. Pilots must not only wear radiation-proof clothing. At the same time, the aircraft must also be modified. In this way, we can avoid radiation damage as much as possible

"In addition, although the Army Aviation and Naval Aviation of the Eastern Empire suffered heavy losses in the battle. However, there are still some aircraft in their homeland. Once the Empire's bombers enter the airspace of the Eastern Empire, they will inevitably be intercepted by the Eastern Empire's aircraft. If our bomber is shot down before the bomb is dropped. Then, our nuclear strike will not be possible."Marshal Kesselring continued.

"Do you prefer to use HO-229 stealth bombers to carry out nuclear strikes?"Hess asked.

He had already guessed the Air Force's thoughts from Marshal Kesselring's words.

"Yes, Your Excellency. After detailed demonstration, we feel that it is more appropriate to use the HO-229 stealth bomber.HO-The 229 stealth bomber has a certain stealth effect. Although it cannot completely avoid detection by the Japanese air search radar, it can shorten the detection distance, thus giving the Japanese less reaction time. In addition, the maximum ceiling of the HO-229 stealth bomber is as high as 16,000 meters. When performing nuclear strike missions, these bombers can fly at an altitude of 14,000 to 15,000 meters. Even if the Japanese take off fighter jets to intercept, it will be difficult for them to reach this height to intercept our HO-229 stealth bomber. The most important point is that the flying speed of the HO-229 stealth bomber reaches 900 kilometers per hour. The speed of the Japanese fighter jets is far from comparable, which makes it impossible for them to intercept our bombers. Moreover, after dropping nuclear weapons, the HO-229 stealth bomber can also evacuate at high speed, reducing the possibility of being shot down and reducing the possibility of being exposed to nuclear radiation. This effectively protects pilots."Marshal Kesselring said

"Very good. Taking these factors into consideration, it is indeed more appropriate to use the HO-229 stealth bomber. Then, implement it according to your plan!" Hess said

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"Marshal Kesselring replied

"Next, we will modify a total squadron of HO-229 stealth bombers. Afterwards, fly to the airport in Okinawa Islands and wait for orders. After the nuclear weapons arrive, they will launch a nuclear attack on the Eastern Empire!"Marshal Kesselring said.

Hess nodded:"Very good, let's do it!"

Hess expressed satisfaction with the Air Force's nuclear strike plan. He believed that the next Air Force nuclear strike will definitely make the Japanese people pay an unimaginable price. At that time, the Japanese people will know that they chose to resist and fight to the death. What a mistake.

During the following period, the Imperial Air Force specially modified a squadron of HO-229 stealth bombers. A layer of lead was added to the interior of the fuselage. The magazine was also modified. , ensuring that huge nuclear weapons can be dropped when the bomb is dropped.

Even if it is miniaturized, the weight of a nuclear weapon still reaches over four tons. This is already the maximum bomb load of the modified HO-229 stealth bomber At the same time, the Third Reich's nuclear weapons factories were also operating at full capacity, striving to produce six nuclear weapons within a month. So that when the Third Reich launches a nuclear attack on the Eastern Empire in the future, there will be as many as 12 nuclear weapons can be used.

While the Third Reich was preparing for a nuclear strike, the Third Reich’s military operations against the Eastern Empire had stopped.

A large number of troops gathered in the Okinawa Islands to rest and prepare for landing on the Eastern Empire’s mainland. Make preparations.

However, the Third Reich suspended its attack, which made the Japanese people breathe a sigh of relief.

Ordinary Japanese people thought that the Third Reich was frightened by the Japanese Empire's posture of all people as soldiers, and did not dare to attack the Japanese people. The empire launched an attack on its homeland. However, the senior leaders of the Toyo Empire did not think so. Instead, they realized a huge crisis, or thought that the crisis was approaching. For this reason, Prime Minister Tojo Onki specially discussed with

Marshal Sugiyama

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the actions of the Third Reich are indeed somewhat abnormal. However, I don’t think the Germans were frightened, but I think they were preparing for a large-scale attack. We have received information that the Germans have assembled a large number of troops on the Okinawa Islands. At the same time, a large amount of combat supplies are being assembled towards the Okinawa Islands. All this shows that the Germans are preparing for a large-scale attack. Perhaps, when they launch an attack, it will be an overwhelming offensive!"Marshal Sugiyama said.

Tojo Yinjizai nodded continuously:"The empire's biggest crisis is about to come. If we can withstand this wave of German offensive, we may be able to defend our homeland. If it can't withstand it, the empire will be completely doomed!"
