Chapter 82: The World of Contempt

When the night sky suddenly flashed, Lynn happened to sit in front of the north-facing window. (du kan,) At that time, the dark clouds completely obscured the light of the stars and moons, and the explosion scenes in the distance could be seen with the naked eye. In an instant, countless burning fragments scattered in a beautiful arc like fireworks. From the direction, it should be above Lake Ethel formed by the Dutch surrounding the sea and building fields. Immediately afterwards, Lynn captured the wonderful figure of the second surface-to-air missile in the night sky. Because the "Daughter of Rhine" was controlled by radio, in order to facilitate operators to confirm its actual position in operation, a light emitting device similar to a tracer bomb was installed at the wing tip, so it could be observed at a long distance. Although its flashing light was only a little brighter than the dimest stars, the technical energy contained in it was huge and epoch-making.

The attacker's operation was far from being proficient, but the attacker was at a loss and mentality. As a result, two low-altitude missiles hit the planes flying in the sky one after another. In the light of the explosion, Lin Neng also noticed that there were several planes flying nearby. Although he could not tell whether the missile had killed the real target, a strange feeling had already arisen in his heart: this was a night when the star fell.

The biggest misfortune will be George Marshall, the number one military strategist of the US military, a key figure in the Western Allied Forces, and is still outstanding in his achievements. He has retired and returned at a critical moment and replaced Montgomery and Alexander as the chief commander of the British army, or the French general who is not very famous internationally. Which country should sobbed tonight? Intuition did not provide Lynn with the answer, but the mystery did not last long. In the diplomatic ranks, Lynn's "vision" and "audit" have improved leaps and bounds compared to before. He got reliable inside news that night: the British army

Marshal Brooke was seriously injured when the convoy was attacked and died on the spot. Marshall was in the same car as the Dutch royal family. Although he was only affected and suffered some irrelevant skin injuries, he insisted on returning to the headquarters in Poland overnight after returning to Alkmaar Airport on the same road. Although the special plane was covered by a squadron fighter and chose a theoretically very safe route, the plane was shot down by ground fire shortly after taking off. None of the pilots on the special plane were spared, and another escort fighter was shot down, and the possibility of the pilot being killed on the spot was very high.

Five-star American General Marshall and British Field Marshal Brooke, this is the best expected victory in Lynn. In addition to the No. 1 and 2 leader of the Allied Command in Europe, the military visits also included many senior officers from the US Army, Army Aviation and Navy. There were as many as six of them as lieutenant generals and above, as well as four British generals, three French generals and three Polish generals. These people traveled from Alkmaar to Ames with Dutch royal family and government officials.

Terdam was preparing to attend the welcome banquet held at the palace that night, but was hit by roadside bombs and fierce firepower on the way. Marshall was lucky enough to escape without any luck, and the rest were not so lucky. More than half of them were either killed in the car or seriously injured, and the rest followed Marshall and became the dead of the air. Throughout the journey, only two lucky people suffered minor injuries, one was a French Lieutenant General and the other was a Polish Air Force Major General.

The "Hims incident" named after the incident had an extraordinary shocking effect on the Allied camp, so at the beginning, the Allied tried to block the news, and the situation was only known to the senior Allied forces and some people in the Amsterdam region. However, as before, the details of this incident were soon made public by international radio stations in neutral countries such as Switzerland, Spain, and Mexico. However, the radio stations of these countries often exposed heavy information and achieved a geometric increase in listening rate compared to before the war. The bombshell immediately triggered a frenzy of public opinion.

In response to the widespread doubts and criticisms from the outside world, US President Truman had to deliver a tragic speech in tears again. However, from Pearl Harbor, New York to Hems, the effect of the mourning soldiers is declining again and again. In the United States, the people have questioned the ability of Roosevelt's successor to govern the country, and the army is also complaining about the military decisions of the top leaders. Similar plays are still staged in the UK, and the people are increasingly missing the iron-fisted, arbitrary, but "great" wartime Prime Minister Churchill. The calls for the establishment of a new cabinet are rising, and the Attley Cabinet is once again involved in the dangerous vortex...

After the "Hims incident", the Dutch army and Allied task forces immediately launched a large-scale search in the Netherlands. For a time, from Amsterdam to the unknown countryside, there were chaos everywhere, and people were panic. Hundreds of suspects were arrested and interrogated. Airports, ports, and railways were strictly controlled. Their own and foreigners were only allowed to enter the Netherlands and were not allowed to leave without authorization. People's high vigilance for strange faces also caused the government and enterprises to basically stop doing business activities, and even the production and operation of Moore Machinery Company was not affected.

The small impact, but both the real planner behind the scenes, Lynn and the officers and soldiers of the 7th dispatched team who were carrying out the attack mission successfully "get away from the impunity" - Lynn was able to move freely in the Netherlands as a cover. The operators who operated surface-to-air missiles to shoot down Allied planes took a small boat to escape from the dangerous area that night. The combatants who set up roadside bombs and carried out supplementary attacks with fierce firepower also used night cover to retreat to the coast, boarded the pre-arranged speedboat and fled to Belgium, and then returned to Germany by land.

The backyard of the Allied forces caught fire, and the Soviets who had a very bad summer could not easily miss the opportunity? As the weather was getting better, the Eastern European region ushered in continuous rainfall, and the Allied aviation troops with the advantage sharply reduced their attack efficiency. The Soviet troops, which were strategically suppressed, quickly made big moves: on the one hand, they stopped retreating in northern Lithuania and turned to face the Allied offensive forces, interspersed with small and medium-sized tactical counterattacks, and took advantage of the opportunity of night battle to launch a strong assault on the Allied supply points established in Lithuanian ports. On the other hand, they coordinated a large number of infantry and mechanized corps to launch a clamp-shaped counterattack in western Belarus. The tank army, which had not appeared for a long time, appeared in the mechanical army.

On the key battlefield, they were surrounded and annihilated by the Soviet army twice in a row, and the Allied officers and soldiers were all psychologically shadowed. When they encountered this situation, they were afraid that they would be dumplings by the other party for the third time. The combat troops on the Northern and Central Fronts retreated one after another. The Allied troops who intended to "liberate" Ukraine had already advanced to the Zhitomir area less than 200 kilometers away from Kiev. Due to the great retreat of friendly forces on the Northern and Central Fronts, they could only give up the victory and retreat quickly to Poland. The Soviet army did not have much effort to recover the large area of ​​land that had been lost before, and also bit the Allied troops with high morale and pursued them relentlessly. In the short term, they achieved a shocking reversal in their strategic situation!

The "Hims incident" just destroyed the nerves of the people of the Allied, and the "Keil incident" followed one after another. In Lynn's eyes, this was a key decision to pursue the victory, but from the standpoint of the Allied, it was a disaster that never came alone, and the Germans and the people did not have time to be glad that their military generals did not suffer as heavy losses as the United States, Britain and other countries. The explosive news that "Keil is about to suffer a nuclear strike" surprised them. Since the establishment of the navy, Kiel has been the starting point for the German nation's blue water dream.

It has witnessed the desire and efforts of two military empires for sea power over more than half a century, and has also witnessed the achievements of the German nation in warship construction technology - Deflinger, King, Bavaria, Scharnhorst, and Bismarck. These resounding names all use Kiel as the naval home port. The final outcome of the two empires that tried to change the world pattern through war was failure, and the German fire of hegemony and space gradually extinguished, and Kiel became a genre for lost dreams.

But if the Soviets used destructive weapons because Kiel stationed the Allied fleet, the few self-esteem left to Germany would be an unbearable blow. Under the intention of the media, it is easy to recall the tragic phenomenon of the old capital of Konesburg, Konisburg, the capital of East Prussia, when countless ancient and historical buildings disappeared, and tens of thousands of residents who were involved in the war and failed to escape in time (although only a small part of them were Germans) had their lives or left unhealed trauma, and

And that was when the explosion point was still several miles away from the port. If Kiel was trapped in the same purgatory, not only would the local 100,000 people and the prestigious shipyard, large ships and platforms were difficult to protect, but most of the areas of Schleswig-Holstein State would be affected, which was related to the safety of nearly one million people, but also to the precursor of the survival of the nation. Between speechless endurance and reasonable struggle, the influential Baath Party in North Germany issued its first cry: the allied navies left Kiel!

Hundreds of thousands of flyers, hundreds of street mobile speech sites, broadcast propaganda on multiple radio channels, gatherings of all sizes in towns and villages, followed by demonstrations in Schleswig, Lentzburg, Marent and even Hamburg. Next, the Baath Party worked hard to ensure supplies, and various marches gathered again, starting from their respective cities and villages, and flocked to Kiel. This was the largest mass movement that Germany had since surrendered to World War II. The struggle for national dignity and survival interests broke the inferiority caused by defeat. People who came spontaneously joined the team along the way. When the marchers gathered in the city of Kiel, everyone was surprised and proud of the size of the team.
