MTL - Big Time 1958-Chapter 987 Give the Soviet Union an explanation
The explosion was a few kilometers away. For the residents of the small town, it was like the sound of thunder in a thunderstorm. It could wake up some people, but the effect was nothing more than that. Only a few people came out of the room with a confused mental state. Come out, but will soon go back to sleep, not knowing that the danger is coming towards you.
Although Germany was the first country to use poison gas on a large scale, in World War II, because Hitler was attacked by poison gas on the battlefield in his early years, even if the world's largest chemical weapon was stocked, it was only used to destroy the Jews. Putting into the battlefield, the Germans' understanding of chemical weapons has long since passed away, not to mention that it is now in the 1980s. There are not many veterans in the First World War, and even if there are, there are none here.
Besides, the residents of Offenburg are not soldiers, how could they be prepared against poison gas? There will be a tragic incident tonight. But not all toxic substances can be called poisons. It must be used on a large scale on the battlefield, must have strong toxic chemicals and substances, and preferably can be produced in large quantities, so the conditions are very harsh. And the poisonous mist that is floating over meets all the applicable conditions for chemical weapons, which was originally intended to usher in the fight against the Soviet Red Army.
The smoke clouds that were as tall as the two of them rolled in like a ghost, engulfing Offenburg in an instant. All-pervasive, even people in bunkers, shelters and various fortifications are not immune, let alone Offenburg in an ordinary small town.
The earth is shrouded in darkness, and people are still immersed in beautiful dreams. Without warning, without warning, a cloud of mist spread over Offenburg, and people woke up from their sleep and began to cough, have trouble breathing, and burn their eyes. The first thought of the choked resident was to push open the door and rush out, not knowing that the death outside the room was also closer...
People are running for their lives in a hurry, no matter if they are going to heaven or hell, in the dark night, the temperature of fear spreads in the air, as if **** is coming, every second someone falls down and will never stand up again. All human beings and livestock are the same in the face of this poisonous fog, and only a few pigs have exerted their survival instinct and arched their noses to the ground.
But it's useless. These animals are not as lucky as their counterparts more than 70 years ago. The appearance of the defensive mask is that a pig without death appeared at the scene of the poison gas battle. People passed through the ravines on the ground and thought of avoiding the harm of poison gas through filtering. Gas mask.
Seventy years have passed, and chemical weapons have already been updated, not to mention this is Germany, the world's chemical authority. Learning ancestral instincts didn't keep these animals alive. The corpses of humans and livestock were lying on the streets, all the houses in Offenburg were opened, and the owners who escaped did not have time to lock them. These open-mouthed houses added to the horror of the small town.
There is no chemical weapon that can wipe out a single person in a city. When the poisonous fog covered the small town, the police station of Offenburg continued to call the police, and many still had phones in their hands before they died. The police station of Offenburg The phone was almost blown, and the police department was unable to save the residents of the entire small town, but they could report the situation to their superiors.
After layers of reports, the Federal German Chancellor Kohl was finally woken up from his sleep. This was earth-shattering news. The explosion of the chemical weapons arsenal sent Kohl's head buzzing.
"It's over..." After a long time, the big man in charge of the Federal Republic of Germany murmured in despair.
As Serov said, the Federal Republic of Germany does not have the ability to cover up such incidents, even if the ruling party wants to cover it up, and the opposition party has been demolished in ancient times, the Soviet Union chose to act in a small town on the border between Germany and France, so to speak Even if the poisonous mist had no such power when it reached France, it would still be discovered by France.
France did not help the Federal Republic of Germany to conceal its obligation. On the contrary, although France has been winning over Germany, it advocates European unity. But there is also a bottom line that cannot be broken through, that is, the country of Germany must be harmless. In the process of its rise, Germany is constantly fighting France. Including the Franco-Prussian War, it has fought France three times and Russia twice. France's vigilance against Germany is buried in its heart, and its hatred of Britain is on its lips.
Because of the existence of Germany and the United Kingdom, France always used the Soviet Union as foreign aid to suppress the two neighboring countries that it did not deal with. Once France knew about the explosion of the chemical weapons arsenal, it would definitely stab it out.
Kohl already knew that his biggest challenge after becoming Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany had come, and that almost no one could save him. The re-production of chemical weapons has nothing to do with Cole. The previous prime ministers knew it, but his unfortunate part is that there was no accident in the previous prime minister's tenure, but when something went wrong in his tenure, people will only blame him...
The explosion of the chemical weapons depot in Offenburg was like a thunderbolt on the ground. It suddenly appeared in the relatively calm atmosphere of the Federal Republic of Germany, and then immediately formed a huge storm. Cole guessed right. From the moment he ordered to save people, this matter could no longer be concealed, and the fact that Germany secretly produced chemical weapons would be known to all countries.
Brandt, the leader of the Socialist Party of the Federal Republic of Germany, immediately came out to criticize Kohl's policy, and said that the injured must be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately. Like a dead city of Offenburg, these photos exploded like a blockbuster in Germany…
For many years, the Federal Republic of Germany government has expressed a guilty attitude in various media, although many executives in the government during the Third Reich period are fine, and have their own views on the understanding of World War II, and have not given up some ideas in their hearts . But in the education of the people, he spared no effort in propagating anti-war ideology and leading the Germans on the road to Our Lady.
And this time, the Germans, who had been taught by the government to confess and repent all the time, found out that the government was still developing chemical weapons. This feeling of being fooled and deceived was more important than anything.
Just like the US stock market crash broke the American people's confidence in Wall Street, the explosion of the chemical weapons depot in Offenburg also broke the German people's trust in the government. The people of a country began to distrust the government. This is the real fatal place. .
Even the failure of the Vietnam War seriously caused the Americans to doubt their own strength, resulting in the advantage of the Soviet Union's large-scale offensive. Faith is something you can't see or touch, but it can determine many things. This is far from the figure of more than 20,000 casualties that can be compared. Shelov is to break the confidence of the enemy.
French President Mitterrand said very strongly, "The Federal Republic of Germany must explain this matter, and the German government owes all countries, including the Soviet Union, an explanation! How to explain the appearance of these chemical weapons, don't tell me they are pesticides! "
Mitterrand's face was ashen when he expressed his position to the national media in Paris, and the anger in his heart had reached the point where he could not hide it. The Federal Republic of Germany secretly developed zero chemical weapons, indicating that this country is still very dangerous. This made Mitterrand fear for a while, and it reminded the history of the rise of Germany and the continuous war against France.
It’s not just France who is angry. The French Communist Party’s stance is even more intense, and its rhetoric is almost exactly the same as that of the Soviet Union’s original propaganda, accusing the Federal Republic of Germany that many people who are responsible for the initiation of World War II have not been tried, and the Germans have always been. Neither gave up the ambition of revenge, but unlike after World War I, this time the Federal Republic of Germany endured a longer time, but it was also more dangerous...
Immediately after the United Kingdom also joined the ranks of the attack, Mrs. Thatcher quickly cut with Cole, and also publicly announced that she would immediately join the United States to investigate the Federal Republic of Germany, and thoroughly find out whether the Federal Republic of Germany developed mass destruction in the dark. "The investigation must be launched immediately, we must not tolerate this kind of deception, it is a deception for the whole of Europe."
The United Kingdom knows a little about the restocking of chemical weapons in the Federal Republic of Germany, but it is not as detailed as the United States. But it is one thing to acquiesce in a secret reserve, and another to agree.
What's more, because of this explosion, the whole world knows that Germany has restarted its chemical weapons stockpile. At this time, the United Kingdom cannot stand on Germany's side. If it stands on Germany's side, it will involve the issue of responsibility for World War II. Mrs. Thatcher's statement, It makes the firepower of European countries to attack the Federal Republic of Germany even more fierce...
It can be said that the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany Kohl has been sacrificed at this time. Maybe US President Ronald Reagan can help him stabilize his position. There is about such a 1% possibility that Kohl's political career has come to an end...
"Murderers will be killed forever!" Serov, who received the report, sat upright in the Kremlin. This massacre was an order issued by him personally, and the psychological burden was a little, but not too big. It's not that there has been no tragedy. Germany's domestic chemical weapons are used to deal with the Soviet Red Army. Could it be that he would soften his heart because the explosion of the weapon that killed the Soviet soldiers injured the enemy? more stupid impossible...
Soon a heart-pounding news came from Moscow. The Kremlin said that the withdrawal of the Soviet Union's northern cluster would be suspended. Serov, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, expressed his position on this matter for the first time, "Someone must give the Soviet Union an explanation, Not just the Federal Republic of Germany, I've been waiting for the United States to say, if Reagan doesn't want to do it, anything can happen, including war!"
The threat of war has come again, and it may never go away. The huge sense of suffocation makes all Western European countries breathless, and the Federal Republic of Germany was originally the first barrier, but now the Federal Republic of Germany is in the middle of a double blow. But other countries don't care what the Germans think, they care about another issue.
