Chapter 1270 Great news
Hessman left the intelligence command center and returned to his office. His private secretary Natalie was waiting there. Seeing Hessman push the door open, he immediately called him in advance to ask for the hotline of the Prime Minister's Office.
"It was Mr. Hitler's call himself," Natalie handed over the phone receiver to Hessman and said with a smile: "There is great news when you hear it."
"Excellent good news?" Hessman raised his eyebrows, already understanding what was going on.
"Adolf?" Hessman took the phone receiver, "I'm Hessman."
"Ludwig," Hitler's voice was about to laugh out loud from the phone receiver, "We have won, this time it's really a victory... I just received a call from Mussolini, and he told me that the Americans agreed to accept all the conditions for peace, and we have won! The war is over! The United States of Europe is really going to be established now!"
It seems that the effect of the three atomic bombs exploded underwater is still very good! Hessman said: However, the compensation for 500 billion European Mark seems to be a little less, and it has to be given 1000 billion yuan, and the Canadian people must also get rid of the colonial rule of the US imperialism...
"It's so good," Hessman thought in his heart, "but we can't cease fire yet."
"Can't a ceasefire?" Hitler seemed a little surprised. "Ludwig, what else do you want? Do you want to increase the amount of compensation? It doesn't matter if it's a ceasefire, right?"
"It's not a question of the amount of compensation," Hessman said without denying it, "Adolf, I mean we can't have an unconditional ceasefire. If the Americans want a ceasefire, they have to hand over the Avalon Peninsula."
The Avalon Peninsula is the most important part of Newfoundland. The Peninsula has Churchill Naval Fortress and multiple large air force bases, and also has multiple deep-water ports, among which St. Johns Port is also the largest port on Newfoundland.
If the European Union could control Avalon Island, it would be able to deploy three atomic bomber brigades there, putting all the most prosperous areas in the northeast of the United States under the deterrence of German nuclear weapons.
"Of course we can't have an unconditional ceasefire," Hitler agreed with Hessman, "if they are really sincere, they will definitely agree to our ceasefire conditions."
Hessman smiled: "If they don't agree, we can take down the Avalon Peninsula, which is actually nothing to do."
"No trouble?" Hitler asked, "but the terrain there is quite a bit of danger."
"No problem, at least Churchill's Naval Fortress will be occupied by us soon," said Hessman.
"Really?" Hitler on the other end of the phone line seemed to be unbelievable. "That's a very strong naval fortress... What method should we use to occupy there? Do we use special forces?"
"No, not using special forces, but using Marshal Harold Alexander." Hessman told Hitler, "He would have a way to take the Churchill Naval Fortress, which is a fortress belonging to the Royal Navy after all."
After all, Newfoundland is the territory of the British Empire and does not even belong to Canada in name (Newfoundland was joined in Canada in 1949), so while the US military entered, it also pretended to respect the sovereignty of the British Empire. Therefore, the most important naval fortress on Newfoundland (built by the Americans) was handed over to the British army. But now, the atomic bombs have exploded in Concepshun Bay, and the United States is also preparing to accept all the peace conditions proposed by Germany, which is equivalent to conditional surrender. What reason does the British soldiers guarding Churchill Fortress have to do not abandon the secret? Even if they want to fight for Canada's freedom and democracy, Newfoundland is not part of the Dominion of Canada.
Moreover, the Germans also have atomic bombs that can be used to scare people. The British guarding the Churchill Naval Fortress have no obligation to carry the atomic bombs for the Americans, right?
"Okay," Hitler already understood what Hessman was thinking, "Then I will tell Mussolini about this condition...will this be OK?"
"Okay," Hessman immediately gave a positive answer, "just say that the Avalon Peninsula is a guarantee of a ceasefire... Don't talk about other requirements first, and don't raise compensation. Now we should disarm them mentally, just like in 1918."
Hessman means to trick the United States into confiscating its guns first, and then slowly rectify it! As long as the Avalon Peninsula can be taken down and the atomic bomber brigade is deployed, what room for Americans to resist?
"Okay, OK, that's it!" Adolf Hitler hung up the phone, but he did not immediately call the hotline with Mussolini, but called his private secretary Martin Bauman in: "Go and send a telegram to Dutch Standard Oil Company, telling them that the Avalon Peninsula must be handed over, otherwise... Hessman has a way to seize it. The price of the ceasefire will be higher!"
Dutch Standard Oil Company is the asset of the Rockefeller family in the Netherlands, mainly responsible for the sale of American petroleum products in the neutral Netherlands. However, after Kennedy visited the Roman Empire, a senior manager named Rockefeller came there, and secretly purchased confidential military high-power radio stations from Germany and set up an antenna on the top of the rented building. The Dutch police and customs also ignored the behavior of Standard Oil Company...
"What? You said the Germans wanted to take the Avalon Peninsula as a guarantee?"
The radio stations and the antennas on the roof of the Dutch Standard Oil Company building were indeed very useful. Just a few hours after Hitler and Hessman were on the phone, Truman was already discussing peace with Kennedy far away in Chicago in his office.
"Yes, this may be the request of the German military. And Hitler also hinted that if we refuse, the German military can easily take the Avalon Peninsula."
"Easy?" The word "atomic bomb" flashed into President Truman's mind, "Do they want to use the atomic bomb to blow up Churchill's Navy Fortress?"
"I think so!" Kennedy told Truman in a very worried tone, "I just went on the phone with Dr. Oppenheimer. He also believed that the German atomic bomb technology had a breakthrough compared to 1944. The three atomic bombs they dropped in Concepshun Bay and the Bay of Fundy must have exceeded 100,000 tons of equivalents, and even reached 200,000 tons.
If the Germans used this atomic bomb to bomb Churchill's naval fortress, they should be able to razed it to the ground!"
Because the three atomic bombs that exploded in Concepshun Bay and the Bay of Fundy were all underwater explosions, the momentum they showed was amazing. Even Oppenheimer made a wrong judgment after receiving the preliminary report and overestimated the equivalent of the atomic bomb.
After hearing Kennedy's words, Truman's heart sank: "If that were the case, the officers and soldiers on the Avalon Peninsula would probably be scared crazy. How can this war be fought? But I can't hand over the Avalon Peninsula to the Germans immediately... After all, the formal peace talks have not begun. In addition, the geographical location of the Avalon Peninsula is too important, and I must take some time to convince the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Joseph, you tell Hitler what I mean, I will hand over the Avalon Peninsula, but he must find a way to control Hessman and never throw away the atomic bomb. Because the war has ended, there is no need to let innocent people die."
Truman's judgment was correct, and watching the psychological problems caused by the atomic bomb explosion at close range were very serious, especially because the atomic bomb was thrown away by the enemy.
So now the American soldiers on the Avalon Peninsula are panicking, and the offensive against the German positions on the west coast of Concepshun Bay has long stopped. Some of the US 16th Armored Division troops that occupied Grace Harbor, who had just abandoned the city and fled after the atomic bomb explosion, were almost scared and lost their organization. The commanders and division personnel of the 16th Armored Division were all missing in the tsunami. The troops entering Grace Harbor and some troops near the port have also lost their normal structure and are no longer an organized army.
Lieutenant General Walton Walker, the commander of the 20th Army of the US Army, was busy stopping these poor American officers and soldiers who were scared by the atomic bomb from escaping from the front line.
As the evening approached April 29, Lieutenant General Walker's men finally blocked the fleeing defeated troops on a road near Grace Harbour Airport. A US Army colonel was caught in front of Lieutenant General Walker by the 20th Army military police. When the lieutenant general saw his rank, he couldn't help but curse: "Col. Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing? You are a colonel!"
"General, we are defeated," the colonel cried when he saw Lieutenant General Walker. "The German weapons are so terrible, so terrible..."
"But you can't escape, you are a soldier, a soldier of the United States!" Lieutenant General Walker sympathized with the colonel in front of him who looked wet and still trembling. Most of his troops encountered tsunamis in Grace Harbor... Those were 9 tsunami waves! It's normal to scare people crazy. But Walker is a soldier, and soldiers have the duty of a soldier.
The colonel continued to cry: "General, I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet... Please let me go to the military court, please don't let me go to the front line again, that's meaningless."
I don’t know if it was infected by his crying. The two or three thousand exhausted American soldiers who were blocked by Lieutenant General Walker no longer ran away, and they all sat on the ground and cried loudly.
And just when Lieutenant General Walker didn't know what to do, a staff officer of his men suddenly came over panting, and shouted without seeing what occasion: "General, Lieutenant General Collins ordered us to dig up the bunker immediately... According to reliable information, the Germans will use the atomic bomb again tomorrow!"
