Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 583: Return the Gold



The industrial strength that we were originally proud of has become an accomplice to disaster at this moment. On a blocked road, a single butterfly bomb can detonate several or even dozens of cars in succession; many people were trapped in the cars and failed to escape in time, and as a result, the whole family went to heaven neatly.

Although German bombers dropped 20,000 butterfly bombs in one fell swoop, this number was only a drop in the bucket for Washington, which covers an area of ​​178 square kilometers; and according to the different fuses of the butterfly bombs, half of the butterfly bombs did not explode on the spot, and many of them did not explode on the spot. The trigger fuse or time fuse was activated only after landing. These unexploded butterfly bombs were scattered in every corner of the city and became a nightmare for the citizens of Washington.

After dropping the bombs, the bomber formation slowly turned around and flew towards Greenland. Looking at the oil gauge that was about to bottom out, Thompson could only order the return flight angrily.

Upon hearing the news that the German bombers had left, the Vice President of Ghana, who was hiding in the White House bunker, sighed depressingly, feeling extremely aggrieved. But no matter how aggrieved it is, there is nothing we can do. Our own side now does not even have the ability to intercept German bombers, let alone retaliate.

Just after leaving the bunker, he heard good news: President Roosevelt was awake!

"God bless!" Vice President Ghana hurried to President Roosevelt's hospital room. "Mr. President, are you finally awake?" If you don't wake up, I want to resign as Vice President!

President Roosevelt, who looked extremely pale, said intermittently. "German bombers..."

The Vice President of Ghana secretly cursed in his mind which bastard was so talkative that he told the President about this? What if it irritates him again? Thinking of this, he quickly spoke. "Don't worry, Mr. President, the German bombers have left." At this point, he felt a little sad. The German bombers left, not by our own side, but by themselves. If they hadn't dropped all their bombs, Washington might still be bombed. "The bombing did not cause much damage." In fact, the losses in various places have not yet been calculated. No one knows how much damage the bombing has caused, but he can only comfort the president in this way to prevent him from being overly stimulated and aggravating his condition.

President Roosevelt continued speaking laboriously. "Ask General Ernest to come over. I have something to discuss with him."

The Vice President of Ghana hesitated before telling the truth. "He is in the hospital. The doctor said he had a cerebral hemorrhage and his condition is not optimistic."

"..." President Roosevelt's face became even more ugly, and his breathing became more and more rapid. The doctor on the side quickly came forward to check and signaled to the Vice President of Ghana not to disturb him anymore.

The Vice President of Ghana could only leave the ward, praying in his heart that nothing would happen, otherwise he would really be unable to bear this burden!

At this time, news of the bombing of the United States capital spread around the world, and Germany held a press conference. "Just now, our bomber group successfully bombed Washington, the capital of the United States, which also confirmed that the air defenses of Canada and the United States are just a display in front of our army, and our bomber group can come and go freely in their airspace.

This time the bombing was in retaliation for their seizure of European gold. The United States has seized more than 1,500 tons of gold from France, and Canada has seized more than 1,800 tons of gold from the United Kingdom. We hereby solemnly warn the Canadian and U.S. governments that the gold must be returned within three days. Otherwise, in three days we will send more bombers to continue bombing the capital of Canada and the capital of the United States until they are flattened! In addition to Washington, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia... and other cities will also be included in the bombing targets. "

"Of course, for humanitarian reasons, if Canada and the United States return the gold in time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince promises not to carry out bombing operations against the two countries within half a year. I hope that the top leaders of the two countries will seize the opportunity and not let innocent people become their stupid Sacrifice.”

This was Yannick's purpose. This bombing operation was purely to scare Canada and the United States into handing over the gold. After all, if they are directly asked to pay war reparations, they will definitely not be happy, but if they are asked to spit out the gold that originally belonged to Europe, then it can be said.

As for no more bombing, Yannick also has concerns.

In the original World War II, Germany also had a high-altitude aircraft, the JU-86R reconnaissance/bomber, whose ceiling could reach an altitude of 14,000 meters.

In the early days of the war, the Ju-86 maintained a record of 0 shots down, but later, with the British army's series of magical modifications to the Spitfire, this myth was finally broken.

At that time, the British army carried out a series of modifications to the Spitfire MK IX, including replacing it with wooden propellers, removing all armor and four 303 machine guns, and retaining only two Hispano 20mm cannons as weapons. This measure reduced the weight of the aircraft by more than 400 kilograms. In order to ensure concealment, the original paint was replaced with a matte light blue paint suitable for high-altitude combat.

The aircraft's first combat was piloted by a lieutenant of a Russian prince who was exiled in the United Kingdom. However, the aircraft failed due to the jamming of the cannon and the inability to control the balance when firing the single-sided cannon. But it turns out that the Fire-breathing Demon modification can indeed reach the flying height of the JU-86R. The first to get the first kill was the Spitfire pilot on the Mediterranean battlefield. He also used the Spitfire modification, but replaced the two Hispanos with two M2 aviation machine guns.

The Americans are not stupid, and they will definitely try their best to study ways to intercept these high-altitude bombers.

But if they were really determined not to hand over the gold, Yannick wouldn't mind bombing them a few more times.

The German JU-86R reconnaissance aircraft of the original time and space have frequently entered British airspace since the summer of 1940, and it was not until August 1941 that the British Air Force's fighter jets barely reached this altitude.

Yannick felt that even if the Americans were powerful, it would still take half a year to develop a fighter jet that could fly to such a height. By the time they modified it, Washington might be in ruins.

The German broadcast triggered a huge panic in Canada and the United States; the Canadian Prime Minister, who was almost frightened by the German bombers, immediately called a group of high-level officials for a meeting to discuss countermeasures. Everyone unanimously decided to hand over the gold in exchange for half a year's worth of money. Peace is also good.

Soon, the Canadian ambassador to Switzerland went to the German ambassador and expressed Canada's willingness to return the British gold.

The U.S. Congress argued for two days and reluctantly agreed to return France's gold. Many people have a ridiculous feeling. If they had known this, it would have been nice to just return the gold to them, but they would have had to suffer a beating, right?

Suddenly, more than 3,000 tons of gold reserves were added, and the foundation of the euro became stronger.
