Section 967 Bombing of Berlin
In addition to the fall of the Three Baltic Kingdoms, there is another even worse news. The heavy aircraft of the Chinese came to Berlin that night. Although the Allies set up one air defense position after another on the road and mobilized a large number of air defense artillery, the Chinese aircraft still arrived over Berlin. Berlin used to have air defense alarms, but when they joined the Allies, basically no aircraft came to attack them. Occasionally there were a little Chinese aircraft, which was more political than practical. When the Chinese bombs were thrown down, the people of Berlin also understood that this bombing was different from before. This time, the main bombing was not the urban area of Berlin, but the industrial area located in the suburbs of Berlin.
At the end of World War I, Berlin's industry was almost destroyed. For more than ten years, they used their technology and the hard work of the Berlin people. They stood at the forefront of the world's industry, almost second only to the Americans. In some high-end and sophisticated aspects, they even surpassed the Americans. In the early stage of the outbreak of World War II, Germany, which annexed Czechoslovakia, can be said to be the strongest industrial country in the entire Europe and has its own place in the world. However, due to the air strikes of the US-British Allied Forces, Germany's industry continued to decline. If it weren't for China's blood transfusions, the Germans would have been unable to hold on. Later, after joining the Allied Forces, the Americans continued to help Germany recover, and now it has recovered more than 80%.
In the suburbs of major German cities, new industrial areas can be said to be everywhere. Of course, Germany and the Americans are not that good. The United States has built a large number of industrial projects. To be precise, these industrial projects should be a large number of military projects. As for ordinary civilian factories, there is basically no achievements, including those high-end and sophisticated equipment, there is no intention to let Germany continue to produce. The Americans' purpose is very clear, that is, to build Germany into a huge arsenal, and the Americans only need to transport raw materials here, so that they can meet the use of the US and European fronts, and there is no other idea. Although Germany knows that this kind of development is not possible, and only develops heavy industry but not light industry, the entire country will have trouble in the future, but now they have no other choice.
In recent times, the war in Europe has become more peaceful, and the Germans have seized this opportunity, making their industrial productivity reach 70% of that in 1939. In the past, the Germans could not believe this at all. With the help of the Americans, they believed in these things completely. But today's bombs made them understand that no matter when, no matter who is in Europe, if your strength is not strong enough, these bombs from the great powers can be thrown on your head at any time. Before, although air defense was strengthened, they could not intercept so many aircraft in China. More than 10,000 tons of bombs were thrown in the Berlin Industrial Zone, destroying the new artillery factory of Krupp. In addition, there are 3,000 technical workers, which are already the last technical workers in Germany.
In the suburbs of Munich, it was also attacked by Chinese people. With the help of the Americans, three new aircraft production workshops were built here. In fact, the aircraft engines were not produced here. Because this kind of thing is a bit so so these things are all produced in the United States. This is an aircraft assembly company, and a large amount of raw materials from the United States were transported here. New American aircraft began to be formed here. Since last year, more than 4,000 aircraft have been driven out from here. It can be said that it is a very important aircraft assembly company in the Allied forces. During the bombing last night, 800 tons of bombs were thrown here, turning the two workshops into ashes. More than 30 aircraft inside have also become parts. It can be said that it was a night to go back two years ago.
In the Ruhr area of Germany, this is a German old industrial base. The US and British forces have carried out multiple coverage bombings here before. However, even if the bombing is so powerful, there will always be some factories that have been retained. With the support of the United States, several metal processing plants have been built here, which can be said to be a precursor to recovery. The local people are also very happy. However, after a night of bombing, 2,000 tons of bombs have also bombed these metal processing plants, including thousands of technical workers. Because the German factories have started working 24 hours a day, when the bombing began, many workers did not have time to run to the air-raid shelter, and they followed these factories to bury them together. It is not that we are so cruel. The war is so cruel. If the industrial zone of China is below, American planes will not wait for you to evacuate before bombing.
While the bombing was underway, the Soviet Union also received a warning from the Allied Command that the Chinese Air Force might have air strikes on them. As a result, the Soviet Union waited for a night in vain and no plane flew over them, which made the Soviet Union feel a little embarrassed. The Chinese could dispatch all bombers to bomb Germany because Germany had various factories that could produce. The reason why they did not bomb the Soviet Union was because there was no target on the Soviet land. The Soviet Union and Germany were completely different. The Soviet Union only required the United States to provide them with finished products, but did not require the United States to provide them with semi-finished products. Germany's development was based on the basis, so naturally given priority to taking care of Germany during bombing. As for countries like the Soviet Union, it can be ignored.
Overnight, Germany's productivity dropped by 20%, and China's heavy bombers also lost more than 300, and more than 600 crew members were lost. Although some of them could come back with the search team, this loss also made Hu Zongnan feel distressed. However, at this time, the bombing has to be stepped up. They have received news that the United States will transfer the British local air force, so when the British Air Force has not come, this is an opportunity for China. Although we have lost more pilots, as long as we throw a bomb down, the other party will definitely lose more, especially Germany, the production core. Once Germany's productivity is destroyed, the United States needs to transport more things.
