Chapter 863 Terrible Results

On May 14th, 2:00 a.m.

In Liverpool Bay, outside the mouth of the Mersey River, the St. George's flag is hunting in the night wind of the North Atlantic.

The defense fleet of two Hood-class battlecruisers is quietly sailing along the bay under the protection of several destroyers. Strict light control makes the squadron without a trace of light.

In order to avoid the attack of Xinhua's two special forces, after thwarting the German high seas fleet into the North Seas again, Hamilton decisively ordered all to set sail and disperse after the fleet returned to Scarpa Bay to resupply. In addition to preserving his strength from being defeated by the Xinhua Royal Navy, he was also ready to carry out a Long-term maritime maneuver attacks and disturbances.

Hamilton, lying on the table and relying on the faint light, looked at the sea chart with his eyebrows locked. Judging from the signs of enemy presence these days, Xinhua's two gangster fleets have been wandering outside the British coastline, and have always been sailing far away at night and approaching during the day.

Relying on the advantage of speed and strong escort firepower, after being discovered by British submarines and destroyers several times, they all escaped from their sight smoothly, which made him feel more and more uneasy.

If they can't catch each other, they will wantonly destroy the coastline and keep dropping bombs over England, the country's losses are likely to be extremely heavy.

"General, Captain Crawford is leaving."

In the adjutant's reminder, Hamilton walked to the porthole. The three torpedo boats next to the fleet were ready to go, and dozens of live-fired sailors on the deck were making final preparations.

The destination they went to this time was not the war zone, but Liverpool.

Hamilton received the news of Liverpool's bombing in the evening. Because Xinhua destroyed Liverpool's post office and naval communication station at the first time, and also blew up all the telephone lines to the outside world, the Prime Minister's Office and the Admiralty could not know how much Liverpool's losses were at the first time, so they hoped that the navy could Send someone to check it now.

Captain Crawford stood on the deck and glanced around. He was also afraid that Chinese planes and submarines would move nearby, so he also did not dare to turn on the lights. Fortunately, this is Britain and the Irish Sea. He is very familiar with it, so he can still find the river and enter the Mersey River smoothly even in the night.

The torpedo boat is maintained at a constant speed of 12 knots, and there is no difference between full-speed sailing in the complex coastline and inland rivers at night and looking for death.

The sound of the gas engine spread far away at night, which made Crawford particularly worried. He had served in the navy for many years and knew very well that there must be Xinhua submarines nearby at this moment.

This is not a presense, but a kind of naval tactic. If the British fleet had just attacked a coastal city, it would have arranged several submarines here, waiting for the enemy's rescue and the warships that came to check automatically hit the muzzle.

Half an hour later, the torpedo boat finally arrived at the mouth of the Mersey River, not far away from Liverpool, known as the capital of cotton and textile industries.

As the distance got closer and closer, the sailors on the deck who were waiting to land to check the loss suddenly felt a feeling of palpitations, because Liverpool, which used to be extremely noisy, was too quiet, too quiet! It may be acceptable without lighting, because the Xinhua aircraft carrier battle group has a certain night attack ability, but why is it so quiet?

" Bang."

A soft sound suddenly tore up the silence, and the slight vibration of the deck under his feet made Crawford realize what the torpedo boat should have hit and rushed to the front.

"It's some boards. It's okay, Captain." After the young sailor at the front end raised his flashlight, he turned his head and waved his hand to Crawford, but when he turned his head again and pointed the flashlight at the world outside the bow, a pale face suddenly appeared in the light source.

"Damn it, what is that!"

The sailor was so scared that he almost lost his flashlight. It could be seen that he should be a recruit who had never seen a corpse before. He was so scared that he suddenly stepped back a few steps and shouted out in horror.

The comrades-in-arms held the little guy who was scared and staggered. When they secretly laughed that he had no guts, they squeezed to the front one after another, but when everyone looked out under the light of the flashlight, the scene in front of them stunned everyone.

Then, an unprecedented sense of fear and panic rushed up from the tailbone like an electric current, making the hair of the whole body stand upside down.

"Turn on the searchlight, turn it on!"

In Captain Crawford's shout, the searchlights on the two torpedo boats were turned on at the same time. When the snow-white beam of light illuminated the whole river, everyone was scared!

This is a picture that is enough to make everyone's hair stand on end!

I only saw that the once beautiful Mersey River was covered with all kinds of debris and corpses, men, women and children! A piece floated quietly on the river like this, and every face was pale and lost its anger!

God!

What happened!

As the torpedo boat hit the body and finally found the dock, the sailors entered the city according to the predetermined route to check the degree of damage, and almost everyone was stunned by the tragedy in front of them.

The bustling commercial street used to be covered with corpses!

The burning giant cotton warehouse is covered with corpses!

The collapsed factory is covered with corpses!

The houses without windows closed are also covered with corpses!

All the bodies are foaming at the mouth and their eyes are bulging, all the throats are covered with scratched blood stains, and all ** outside skin is covered with disgusting blisters!

Even the survivors sat beside them in a daze, watching their skin begin to fester little by little. Looking at the sailors coming with guns, their eyes were full of death.

No one can tell Crawford what happened to them.

Because they can't hear any sound at all! ——

The rapid ringing of the phone woke up Rohe George, who had been hiding in the temporary shelter. When he picked up the phone, he heard the sound of panic and panic from the opposite side, and heard what the sailors had seen and heard in Liverpool.

The phone handset suddenly fell under his feet.

"Puff."

Lloyd George fell to the ground with a pale face under the gaze of all the political axe officials and generals waiting for Liverpool's losses. Everyone saw that even after the defeat of the Bermuda Sea War, Southampton was bombed, and a shocking loss appeared in front of him without bending over the Prime Minister. I can't control my body!

His body is shaking, and his waist is bent out of shape!

He slowly stretched out his hand, which had lost all its blood, and covered his face. From the cracks of the fingers, everyone saw the trembling lips that could not hear any sound, and saw the tears slowly flowing down.

George has never hated his enemies so much, Li Mo, and even himself!

Poisonous gas!

Britain has also used it. In the most difficult time of the Western Front, hundreds of tons of gas bombs are consumed every day. As Prime Minister, he knows very well that the total amount of mustard gas produced by Britain itself has exceeded 10,000 tons so far!

But he never thought that one day the poison gas would fall over Britain! Falling in Liverpool!

Even if he only listened to the description, he knew that Xinhua was using a new type of poison gas bomb whose deadly surname was ten or even a hundred times more than the mustard gas used on the Western Line!

Now that I think about it, Li Mo once reminded himself twice. The first was an ultimatum issued at the same time as Germany, and the second was the last warning telegram with even Yu Wen! But I ignored it, and it was this neglect that led to the current terrible situation.

As a politician, he knows very well that most of the responsibility for the Liverpool tragedy will be shifted to himself and the political axe after the war. And more importantly, how many gas bombs does Li Mo have? Who will be next? London is still.

"Bill, go drive. I'm going to see His Majesty George V immediately." George Laurie stood up with the table, and his shivering body even made people feel that he would fall at any time. After his distracted eyes scanned the audience, he took a deep breath and went out without any explanation.

Looking at his back, everyone looked at each other until the secretary picked up the falling phone and asked what had happened over there that a terrible news swept away like a whirlwind! ——

Outside the window, the sun is shining.

In the window, it is quiet and solemn.

Zhang Qiang, the chief expert of the ghost army and the biological and chemical consultant of the Imperial Prime Minister's Office, stood in front of the big blackboard in military uniform, and the blackboard behind him was full of a series of dense calculation conclusions.

Li Mo and the core of the General Staff looked at the blackboard, smoked silently, and listened with their ears up.

"Liverpool is located on the banks of the Mersey River, in the Gulf of Liverpool and the Irish Sea. The terrain is open and happens to be on the North Atlantic wind belt. Theoretically, the harm can be minimized." Zhang Qiang's solemn voice echoed in the conference room: "That's why we chose here as the first warning."

"So, the damage won't be great?" Tang Shaoyi frowned.

"Maybe." Zhang Qiang took a deep breath, and he could not answer this question, because he understood the horror of "silence" better than anyone else. He could only calculate it mathematically: "According to the news sent so far, in yesterday's three rounds of bombings, we used a total of 1970 "silent" bombs, and sprinkled about 98 tons. "Silence."

The data shows that the current total area of Liverpool is about 100 square kilometers, that is to say, we have dropped a ton per square kilometer!

And the "silence" is an oily gel in the bomb. After encountering air, it will quickly atomize and diffuse, forming tiny particles. According to our experiments, theoretically, each ton of atomization has covered five square kilometers.

In addition, the first atomization cover is not the most dangerous. Even if Liverpool is close to the sea and the wind is relatively strong, the fine dust after atomization will quickly stain buildings, plants and dust. Survivors or subsequent rescuers will make the dust fly. Scatter, thus causing a second kill!"

"Tell me your prediction." Chen Ping stopped Zhang Qiang's killing calculation and asked in a low voice.

Zhang Qiang quickly opened the information, and the baton pointed to the aerial photo of Liverpool on the blackboard and drew a circle: "According to the pre-war information, Liverpool has a total population of about 300,000 people, and even for the war, there are at least 250,000 people!

We believe that the death toll in direct bombing is likely to reach about 10,000 to 15,000, and the next seven days will be the peak of secondary killings. During this period, about 40,000 to 50,000 people will die. Due to the impact of the poison on the surrounding ecology and environment, it is expected that Liverpool will die due to "silence" in the next decade. The total number of people will be close to 100,000!

And! Even if they survive, at least half of the people will have serious neurological sequelae, and most of them will be disabled or lose their hearing!"

Even if the sun is hot outside, Zhang Qiang's numbers and conclusions still make people's hearts, including Li Mo, cold. They all know that "silence" is very powerful, but they didn't expect it to be so big!

"Your Majesty." Zhang Qiang put down the teaching whip, looked at Li Mo, and suddenly turned to Chen Ping and said boldly, "Chief of Staff, Prime Minister. With all due respect, if I want to stop using it again."

Li Mo can understand the psychology of Zhang Qiang, who is a scientific worker, just like Tesla. Although these people are fanatical, no one wants the things they have developed to cause insitus that are difficult to heal human beings, so he also respects these people. For example, he rarely uses Tesla's achievements directly for military use, so He nodded solemnly: "We will be cautious."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I also hope that Britain can make the right choice after this warning. Zhang Qiang said what everyone was thinking. After all, he is not a pedantic person. His kindness to the enemy is his unresponsibility to his country and soldiers!

For him, knives kill people, bullets kill people, and poison gas also kill people. The difference is only a matter of how much it is. As long as he can quickly solve the war, avoid unnecessary consumption of the country, and save the mass casualties of his soldiers, he will still not hesitate to create more "silence" for the army.

Zhang Qiang quickly pushed the door and walked out. For him and the ghost, there is a more serious challenge waiting for them, because according to the report of the North American war zone, the mysterious flu has appeared in the Great Lakes region, because more than 70% of the Americans are stuck there to avoid the war, plus the food in the war. When medicine is not guaranteed, people's physique begins to decline, so once there is a large-scale outbreak, the consequences will be extremely terrible.

A series of numbers and conclusions on the blackboard were finally verified three days later. According to post-war British data, under the blow of three waves of "silence", the death toll of Liverpool, which had a population of nearly 300,000 before the war, reached 17,154 on the same day. As a large number of soldiers and rescuers entered Liverpool, After the silent poison dust was raised again, the total death toll reached 47,000!

In addition, nearly 100,000 people were infected with poison and left sequelae, and gradually died in the following years, of which about 70,000 lost their hearing forever!

The bombing of Liverpool determines the surname, and its impact on future generations is also unimaginable!

Because more than half of the people who were killed and injured were Irish, after the war, Ireland accelerated the reading movement on the grounds that he ignored the death of George's political axe, and finally announced reading on July 8, 1919.

At the same time, Ireland is also the only country that refused to end the state of war with Xinhua after the war. Although everyone knew that it was impossible for Ireland to have a real war with Xinhua, the state of war between the two countries remained until 50 years later before it was revoked by the Irish political axe.

Even at the beginning of the 20th century, when the third generation of the Xinhua royal family visited Liverpool and apologized to the people of Liverpool and provided compensation for the tragedy of that year, the locals still held high "Liverpool can't hear" placards to boo.

These are all after words.

When the Liverpool tragedy spread all over Britain and the world in the next few days, everyone was stunned by the photos of the sea of corpses covered with streets and alleys in the newspaper. No one expected that the war technology had developed to such an extent that a single bombing could cause tens of thousands of casualties.

Although countries around the world have been speculating about the types of poison gas bombed and used, they have marked the words "new", "mass killing" and "terrible". Even the Allies are afraid of Xinhua, because no one knows how much this thing is still in Li Mo's hands!

On May 20, the seventh day after the Liverpool tragedy, under the shadow of the possibility of another terrible bombing, King George V sent a telegram to William II and Lee Mo in the name of the British royal family, saying that Britain was willing to sit down and negotiate on surrender and compensation.

On May 21, under the domestic tide of anti-war movement, Lloyd George announced the dissolution of the political axe and announced his resignation from all positions at No. 10 Downing Street at noon that day.

On May 23, Germany and Xinhua also expressed their willingness to negotiate with the British political axe on surrender and compensation, but the prerequisite is that the British [***] side must immediately and unconditionally lay down their weapons and accept the guard of the Allies on the spot.

On May 26, King George V delivered a speech at Buckingham Palace, announcing that Britain would unconditionally lay down its arms from now on and begin negotiations with the Allies on surrender and reparations.

This painful British statement clearly tells the world that Britain has actually surrendered, because everyone knows that the condition of agreeing the army to unconditionally lay down its weapons is actually no different from surrender.

The so-called armistice negotiations are just a fig leaf!

But at this moment, no one wants to pull off the cloth immediately. William II was because of his personal relationship with George V and the British royal family, while Li Mo did not want to provoke British hatred of China too much after the Liverpool tragedy, and was used by others after the war.

Four days later, after the U.S. political axe also received the final report of the Liverpool tragedy, a truce was declared in Pittsburgh, the temporary location. Melkin, in the name of the President of the United States, asked all U.S. teams to release weapons under the care of the Xinhua Army until a negotiated agreement was finally reached.

On June 7, after three months of fighting, with the cooperation of Bulgaria, Osman, Italy and a small number of German troops, as well as the Allied Mediterranean fleet, the whole territory of Serbia fell!

On June 8, Portugal and Greece declared a truce.

On the same day, Spain, France and Canada, which had previously surrendered, announced that they would join the negotiations.

On June 10, the Xinhua negotiating delegation arrived in Malta and began to prepare for the negotiations on the surrender and compensation of the Ally countries.

Suddenly, the gunfire and explosions that had resounded through the world for nearly four years, and the terrible lethality of the world's first real mass destruction weapons stopped, and the people who were shivering in the bunker began to walk out of their homes one after another.

The dawn of peace finally came out stubbornly
