Chapter 1182 The Goch Castle Project - Peron's Crisis

"boom!"

A ball of flame rose again from May Square in front of the pink rose palace. Large columns of smoke were wrapped in gravel, soil or something to throw them into the sky, and then they sprinkled heavily on the ground, completely covering an 88mm anti-aircraft gun nearby. The gunners were all covered in dust and smelled of gunpowders. If the American bomb had not fallen a little far away, they might have sacrificed their lives bravely.

The nearly dead new Asbanian gunners were not scared. They did not even brush away the smoke and dust on their bodies, and once again devoted themselves to the battle.

One by one, 88mm fixed-height fuse shells purchased from Germany were stuffed into the barrel chamber, and then the lead was pulled. Under the thrust of the gunpowder explosion, the shells burst out and rushed to a height of five or six thousand meters. They exploded among the seemingly dense American bombers, and burst out dense "fireworks" in the air. However, few American planes were shot and crashed!

However, the fire and aircraft clusters that looked very dense from the ground became scattered and sparse at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters. The sky was too wide, and the artillery and aircraft all scattered. American planes passed through the sparse artillery fire, and only a small part of the 128mm radio near-fighting fuze shells (fired by the anti-aircraft artillery forces of the Luftwaffe) would pose some threats. However, because there was no fire-controlled radar to help aim, the power of these German anti-aircraft artillery was not fully exerted.

However, the surface-to-air missiles that rise from time to time from time to time can often launch strong and huge B-17 and B-24 bombers. Now it is a very good daytime, whether it is the remote-controlled "Rhine Daughter" missile or the "waterfall" missile that uses multiple guidance methods, it can achieve good results.

The Luftwaffe and Navy have now deployed 5 surface-to-air missile companies in Buenos Aires, with a total of 20 firing frames, which can fire at least 60 missiles per hour. With a hit rate of 20%-30%, it can kill more than a dozen or twenty American bombers.

However, this loss is nothing to the American bomber group that almost covers the sun in the sky.

The bombing continued! Hundreds of tons of bombs, napalm bombs were dropped, shaking and falling to the ground with a sharp roar. The low bomb explosion sounded throughout the city, and the gray-white flames mixed with gunpowder and suffocating heat waves flew away in the sun.

...

"Mr. President, just received a report from the Air Defense Command in the Southern Region that the Americans dropped a large number of napalm bombs..."

A New Asbanian 6th Army officer in a colonel uniform rushed into the temporary office of the president in the basement of the Rose Palace and saw the Federal President Juan Peron still talking to Avita Duvart, who is amazingly beautiful but annoying (which makes the aloof New Asbanian 6th Army colonel hateful).

The latter is the secretary of the Labor Department of the New Asbanian Federal Government. He does not seem to be a high-ranking official, but he is in power. Because the Labor Minister of the New Asbanian Federal Government is Juan Peron himself, and this ministry is also the key department for realizing the so-called "social justice of the New Asbanian Federal Government". It is also the most powerful department in the New Asbanian Federal Government!

Unlike the American imagination, Juan Peron, a large army, who relies on a gun to maintain his dictatorship. Although Peron came to power through a military coup, his current basis is not the army, but the working people of New Asbania. It turns out that under the influence of his mistress Avita Duvalte, Juan Peron did some things that he could not believe in South American politics after taking power - he actually gradually fulfilled his promise to the people when he seized it!

For example, land reform aimed at land making the land of tillers, truly increasing the wages of the working class, using state funds to build housing for workers, and nationalizing foreign investments in New Asbania, etc. Under this series of measures that have attracted people, not only did the lower-class people in Argentina have a great increase in their favor, but the lower-class people in Chile and Uruguay, the other two major bodies in the federal government, also began to regard Peron as their founding father.

Therefore, neither the American night air strikes on Buenos Aires nor the attack on Chile did not shake Juan Peron's rule in Nova Asbania. However, the scale of the air strikes encountered in Buenos Aires today seems to be a bit large!

Although hiding in the basement of the Presidential Palace, Juan Peron could still feel how amazing the scale of the American air strike was from the dust that kept falling from the ceiling and a dull roar that was tight and dull.

What made Juan Peron even more worried was that these American bombers dropped not only ordinary bombs, but also napalm bombs that could cause fire! These napalm bombs may not pose too much threat to the wealthy areas with very empty buildings, but they are a fatal danger to the slums with dense shanty towns. As long as a few gasoline bombs fall, they may ignite the entire neighborhood! And the southern part of the city of Buenos Aires, which was just attacked by napalm, are full of shanty towns where the poor gather.

It is obvious that the Americans had done their homework before the bombing, and they knew very well where to throw the terrible napalm bombs to the maximum extent to hurt the residents of Buenos Aires.

"What? The Americans dropped napalm bombs on the Flores area?" Avita Duvalt stood up suddenly, his beautiful eyes spewed out anger and a few crystal tears. His pink fists also clenched tightly, his voice trembling, "How can they treat those innocent people like this? I have lived there, there are many children and elderly people there..."

"How is the situation there?" Juan Peron frowned tightly.

"Mr. President, it's very bad... The fire is very big and uncontrollable. I'm afraid that a large area of ​​slums will be burned."

"Is that serious?" Peron took a breath. Although the poor in Buenos Aires are now very supportive of him, making those pro-American superiors dare not use street politics to deal with him, but now I don't know how many poor people die and lose their homes in air strikes... Is it really hard to predict whether people's hearts will change because of this?

"Juan," Avita reminded, "we must immediately rush to the Flores area to comfort the people there after the bombing. The Ministry of Labor has prepared relief supplies and organized doctors to carry out rescue at any time."

Peron nodded, satisfied with the work efficiency of his secretary. "Evita, go first." Peron frowned and said, "I will go to meet General Falkenhorst and General Canaris later... Now they must be urged to send more fighter planes to defend Buenos Aires, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

...

On the Atlantic coast, near the port of Buenos Aires, there was smoke everywhere, and the artillery fire shot into the sky was more and more violent than in other parts of the city. After the large-scale bombing of the military port of Buenos Aires, the German anti-aircraft artillery troops took over the air defense in this area, deployed a large number of 128mm anti-aircraft artillery that could fire radio near-explosion fuses, and set up several missile-launched positions, even the number of air balloons was more than other places.

The slums of Buenos Aires, which are being attacked by napalm bombs, are near the port area. Fires are spreading everywhere. Many New Asbanians (Argentines) cried and fled their homes, most of them were elderly people, women and children. They ran to the heavily guarded port area, and some were arranged into a solid basement. There are many sturdy buildings in the port area, which are the original home port of the Argentine Navy. There are many fortresses and artillery protection facilities belonging to the navy, which can be used as air defense bunkers. But some people refused to enter the bunker, just looking at their homes that have turned into a sea of ​​fire. Because their families are still there, there is so much danger!

General Falkenhorst and General Canaris did not drill air raid shelters, and their headquarters were located in an original Argentine naval shore defense turret. This turret was a product of the South American naval competition in the early 20th century. It was very strong and could resist the bombardment of the 356mm main gun of the Chilean Admiral Latorre-class battleship. Now the high-explosive bombs dropped by the Americans naturally cannot do anything to it.

Two German generals stood at an observation port facing the city and looked out, looking at the city flooded by the fire.

"God, where did these Argentines offend the Americans?" Falkenhorst said. "The Americans actually sent so many bombers."

Although he had been warned by the intelligence department for a long time, Falkenhorst still didn't believe that hundreds to a thousand aircraft would be bombing Buenos Aires.

"This is a sign of weakness!" Canaris shook his head and said, "The Americans dare not act like Europe, nor dare to attack Santiago (Carnais did not know that the Americans were preparing to attack there), and only dared to attack the unarmed Argentine poor... Just when Kennedy and Hess met and negotiated, this shows that the Americans were eager to seek peace, but they refused to provide sincere conditions, and could only use this massacre of civilians to intimidate us."

"Will it work?" Falkenhorst asked, "Will Argentina delay Peron?"
