Chapter 750: The disaster of the island country (3700 votes plus updates last month)
?? "Boom! Boom! Boom!"
??The explosion sounded in the downtown area of ??Osaka, and the power of the high-explosive bomb was undoubtedly revealed at this moment. Every explosion of a large-caliber high-explosive bomb will have a serious impact on the urban area of ??Osaka.
??Streets were destroyed, houses were blown into ruins, and raging fires burned. The whole city trembled under the fierce artillery fire. The power of the powerful weapons manufactured by human industrial civilization is vividly displayed here.
?? "God! This is really spectacular!" Major General Mao Fu put down the binoculars in his hand, his face fascinated. He seems to enjoy the feeling of blowing enemy cities to rubble. For him, this feeling seemed too beautiful.
?? "Yes, it is very spectacular. However, this is because it happened on the enemy's land. If it happened on our own land, I am afraid this is not so spectacular, but very bloody!" Lieutenant General Spee said.
?? "Who can launch such an attack on the German Empire? I don't think so. The German Empire is the most powerful empire in the world, no one. No one can burn the flames of war to our country!" Major General Maufu said.
?? Lieutenant General Spee nodded, seeming to agree with this statement. However, what they didn't know was that in another time and space, the flames of war also raged on the land of Germany. Many places in their country were bombed into ruins. I don't know how many people were displaced during the war and lost their lives.
?? But, in this time and space. The Germans are lucky, because they have a wise emperor, so that they can escape that fate. However, for other countries, this is undoubtedly unfortunate!
?? "Boom!"
??A 380mm high-explosive bomb fell into the crowd. The shell exploded, and the air wave swept around. Countless islanders were blown up all of a sudden, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. More people were torn to pieces by shrapnel. The entire road seemed to have turned into a Shura **** in an instant. There was blood and broken limbs everywhere, which looked very bloody.
?? When the smoke cleared, a huge crater appeared on the road. Weeping, howling and moaning are everywhere. All this reveals how painful these islanders are. However, all this is caused by their country. Can't blame the others either.
??The light cruisers of the German Expeditionary Fleet also joined the bombardment and began to bombard Osaka with 150mm naval guns.
??Under the fierce bombardment of the German expeditionary fleet, the city of Osaka is rapidly becoming ruins.
??The fire spread in the city under the blowing of the sea breeze. A house with a wooden structure is undoubtedly the best place to set fire. The whole city seemed to be on fire.
?? "God! We set this city on fire!" exclaimed Major-General Maofu.
?? "We don't know how many islanders we killed this time!" Lieutenant General Spei sighed.
??It took the German expedition fleet a morning to completely destroy Osaka. After that, the fleet went south and headed for Kobe.
??Perhaps because of hearing about the tragedy in Osaka, those islanders in Kobe fled early one after another. When the German expedition fleet arrived in Kobe, it was found that there were not many islanders left here. Those who were able to escape almost all escaped. The rest are almost all people who have nowhere else to go.
??The German expeditionary fleet immediately launched a bombardment. The islanders could escape, but the cities could not escape. There is no escape from those buildings, especially those factories. Under the heavy shelling of the German expeditionary fleet, Kobe was also razed to the ground. However, the casualties caused by the German expeditionary fleet to the islanders in Kobe were undoubtedly much smaller than those caused in Osaka.
??After destroying Osaka and Kobe, the German expeditionary fleet swaggered out of Osaka Bay and entered the Pacific Ocean through the Kii Channel. After rendezvous with the supply fleet, continue southward, preparing to go to the next destination to launch shelling.
?? After the navy of the island country was eliminated by the German expeditionary fleet, this made the island country no longer have any strength to stop the expeditionary fleet. They can only watch the expedition fleet ravage their land. And the only thing they can do is to evacuate the coastal people to avoid danger.
??In the Prime Minister's Office of the island country, Okuma Shigenobu's face was livid. The subordinate officials are reporting the damage to him.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Osaka and Kobe have been completely destroyed. The two places have been bombed into ruins. The factories of the Empire there have been hit hard, and the losses are very large! In addition, at least 30,000 people were buried in Osaka. Among the German bombardment, Kobe suffered less casualties, but there were two or three thousand people."
?? "I see!" Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma replied painfully.
?? Another two important cities were destroyed, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the island country. And, this is just the beginning. The bombardment of the German expeditionary fleet will definitely continue. How many cities would eventually be destroyed by the Germans, and how many people would die from German shelling, no one knew. But what is certain is that the island nation will suffer as a result.
??If Okuma Shigenobu can make the decision, he will definitely order and agree to the German conditions without hesitation. In this way, the island country can be saved from greater harm. But it is a pity that although he is the prime minister, the actual power is in the hands of the elders and the military. With the army and navy already united, no one would listen to what he, the prime minister, said.
?? "Amaterasu! Please bless the troubled island country!" Okuma Shigenobu prayed secretly.
?? On August 16, the German Expeditionary Fleet launched a bombardment of Kumamoto on Kyushu Island, blowing the city into ruins.
??On August 17, the German expeditionary fleet attacked Fukuoka and Kitakyushu. These two large cities were also destroyed in the bombardment.
??A large number of island people died in the shelling. A large number of factories were destroyed, and the industrialization of the island country was hit hard.
??Although, many island people have followed the government's advice this time, left their homes, and fled to the countryside or mountainous areas. However, most parts of the island country are facing the sea. All the people fled to the mountains. The food problem alone is enough to overwhelm the island government. Most islanders are not rich, and they don't have much food at all. This makes it inevitable that many social problems will arise after their food is eaten.
?? This is a complete disaster for the current island country.
