Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

"The attack was successful?"

Yannick couldn't believe it when he received the news that the attack on Pearl Harbor was successful. What surprised him even more was that of the 50 A-1s sent out to attack, only a few of them were slightly damaged, and all of them returned safely without missing a single one. It was simply an incredible victory. He was previously worried that the raid would be intercepted by US fighter jets, so he sent so many attack aircraft to raid the oil depot at once. Even if they were intercepted, even if only one-tenth of the attack planes dropped bombs on the oil depot, it would trigger a series of big explosions. Unexpectedly, the Americans were so lax that they didn't even have time to take off a fighter jet.

If I had known that I would be so lucky, I should have sent more fighter planes to attack the warships in the port. "Marshal Redl, you said launching a second wave of attacks now will yield results?"

Marshal Redl shook his head. "Your Highness, I'm afraid there won't be anything gained. I heard that the smoke from the fire has enveloped the entire island. Even if we send out a second wave of attack groups, it's hard to say whether we can find the target. The smoke will affect the fighter engines."

"Then forget it." Although it was a little regretful, there was nothing I could do about it. "Total destruction of the oil depot is also a great victory." Fires burning millions of tons of fuel may sweep across the entire island of Oahu. The military base on the island is considered abandoned. It is unknown how much manpower and material resources will be spent to rebuild it.

At the same time, news of the attack on Pearl Harbor also reached the White House in Washington.

"What?!" President Wilkie was so shocked that he almost lost his grip on the coffee cup and dropped it. When he learned that the Germans were sending not high-altitude bombers that could not be intercepted, but single-engine attack aircraft, President Wilkie suddenly became furious and shouted angrily. "What does Commander Kimmel do for a living?! This is a serious dereliction of duty! I'm going to send him to a military court!!" After venting hysterically, President Wilkie took a breath and asked feebly. "What about losses?"

"The fire on Oahu is still burning, so it's not clear yet. However, the fleet has left the port and has not been affected."

Just when President Wilkie had nowhere to vent his anger, reports came from the border that a group of German bombers had been spotted attacking.

"Damn it!" The 150mm anti-aircraft gun has been successfully developed, but only one has been built now. Before it could be tested, the Germans came? !

"..." President Wilkie walked back and forth anxiously, thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind. "Contact the Ambassador to Sweden."

After receiving the order, the U.S. Ambassador to Sweden hurried to the German Embassy, ​​but was told by the guard that the German Ambassador would not see guests today.

After receiving the news from the ambassador to Sweden, President Wilkie slumped weakly in his chair, his face a little pale. It seemed that the Germans no longer wanted to do this kind of deal.

The initiative lies entirely in the hands of the Germans. Since the Germans are unwilling to make a deal, they can only watch the German bombers drop bombs.

100 bombers dropped graphite bombs on thirty-three industrial cities in the northeastern industrial zone, southern industrial zone, and western industrial zone of the United States. These cities don't have a month or two to clean up those carbon fiber filaments and restore power.

Forget it if it's an ordinary city, but these are heavy industrial cities, especially if there is a power outage during war, the losses every hour, every minute and every second of the day can be described as astronomical.

Those capital tycoons are no longer heartbroken, but bleeding in their hearts; they put pressure on the military through parliament to find a solution quickly. But if the military department had its way, it would not be possible to watch the German bombers leisurely hovering above their heads to drop bombs! They are really helpless! !

The next day, German bombers came again, and 100 bombers dropped a large number of ordinary bombs on New York and Washington.

The air-raid shelter project in Washington has not yet been completed. Fortunately, an Englishman named Patterson invented the "family air-raid shelter", which solved the air-raid shelter problem for ordinary people staying in the city.

This kind of home air raid shelter is composed of 14 galvanized corrugated steel plates, of which 6 curved steel plates are used to construct the roof, 6 flat steel plates form the walls on both sides, and the last 2 steel plates are formed one behind the other to form a closed space. The front steel plate is being installed on the door. Family air raid shelters should be buried at least 2 meters deep from the ground, and then the entire air raid shelter should be covered with thick soil, and flowers, plants, etc. should be planted next to it to serve as a cover. This type of air-raid shelter provides very effective protection unless it is directly bombarded by bombs.

Of course, outdoor air raid shelters alone are not enough. Most families live in buildings, so "indoor air raid shelters" came into being. This air-raid shelter is a set of indoor equipment that can basically be assembled by yourself. The main structure is a cage 8 meters long, 2 meters wide and 75 meters high. The top and bottom are mainly made of steel plates, and the sides are metal mesh.

This small indoor air-raid shelter is mainly used to prevent ordinary double-story buildings from collapsing during bombings and causing harm to their residents. Similarly, if a house is directly attacked by a bomb, it will be powerless. People can sleep in this type of air-raid shelter at night and use it as a dining table with tablecloths spread on it during the day. The U.S. government has distributed more than 500,000 indoor air-raid shelters to ordinary citizens. , but the supply still far exceeds the demand.

After dropping their bombs, the German bombers flew away, and the National Guard took to the streets to launch rescue operations.

When a rescue team passed through downtown Washington, everyone couldn't help but stop and looked at the Washington Monument not far away in amazement.

As its name suggests, the Washington Monument was built to commemorate George Washington, the first president of the United States (construction started in 1833 and was not completed until 1885). It is a landmark building in Washington, DC, and the tallest stone building in the world. and one of the tallest "Obelisk" buildings (height 045 meters).

They saw several shocking huge cracks on the monument, and a few stones fell from time to time, making it look shaky.

"Look there!" There was a panicked voice, and everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a huge aerial bomb lying under the monument!

"Shet, hurry up, back off!" No one knew whether this was a dud or a delayed bomb, let alone when it would explode.

Everyone hurriedly retreated 200 meters away from the monument. While they were discussing how to deal with the bomb, a large stone fell from the tip of the obelisk and accidentally hit the bomb body.

boom!

Accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, an astonishing wave of air spread in all directions. The terrible shock wave knocked a group of people in the distance to the ground. Before they could recover, they heard a roar. The explosion of the bomb destroyed the last bit of power supporting the monument. In this huge explosion , the monument collapsed and became a piece of rubble and ruins.
