Chapter 559 Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger
May 1890, 5, Heidelberg.

The war had been going on for two years, and as an old city famous for its printing industry, not much had changed here.

Under the Haidai Mountains, the Neckar River flows quietly, surrounding the castle, the university and the famous student prison. Except for the young people who were drafted into the war, this place is still full of academic atmosphere.

The buzzing sound broke the silence, and a large number of Feng-2 fighters and Xi-4 bombers flew from the south.

The streets immediately became chaotic, with citizens carrying their elderly and children and running everywhere to avoid possible bombing.

The last time this place was bombed was sixteen years ago. During the First World War, British airships visited this place.

This time, is it Daxia, our former friendly country, that bombed us?

Strangely, no bombs or incendiary bombs fell. The bomber, escorted by fighter jets, turned around and left, leaving white pieces of paper flying in the sky.

The citizens picked up the piece of paper curiously, and it was a "Letter to the Citizens of Heidelberg" in German.

"The friendship between China and Germany is everlasting. Daxia and Germany have always been friendly countries."

"If it weren't for the massacre planned by Waldersee, Daxia would not have used force against Germany's friendly countries. All the disasters were caused by Waldersee's gang."

"Today, Germany's 2.3 million troops are surrounded in northern France and will be annihilated soon. The Russian army on the Eastern Front is approaching Berlin. Under Waldersee's wrong guidance, Germany will not last long."

"To save the German people from further disaster, we urge Waldersee to surrender and stand trial as soon as possible."

"We had the power to destroy all the large cities in Germany at once, but we restrained ourselves from the use of force."

"Daxia will launch a 'demonstration attack' on Heidelberg in three days. All citizens are requested to leave the city to avoid accidental casualties."

The citizens immediately became panic-stricken and talked about it.

Daxia was really too polite to Germany. When the bombers came, they did not drop bombs, but leaflets, warning in advance that Heidelberg would be bombed and asking everyone to evacuate.

What is a "demonstration attack"? Is it the 4,000 Stukas and 3,000 bombers from Daxia that were rumored on the radio? Why don't you run!

Citizens who returned home heard the same warning on the radio. The Voice of Daxia also heard the personal admonition of the station director Mark Twain.

At the same time, former Prime Minister Bismarck delivered a radio speech, calling on the German people to abandon Waldersee's erroneous guidance, seek peace with the friendly country Bahia, turn swords into plowshares, build a country through industry and economy, and give up aggression.

Waldersee responded immediately, refuting the Bactrians' fallacies and ridiculing Bismarck's capitulationist speech.

But Bismarck's prestige was too high, and everyone was skeptical about Waldersee's speech. At the same time, almost everyone began to flee Heidelberg.

Waldersee did not give in and immediately ordered the appointment of Hindenburg as the new Chief of the General Staff and Ludendorff as the Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Front, leading the newly recruited two million reservists to resist the Russian attacks on the Eastern Front.

Almost all the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns that could be found were mobilized to go to Heidelberg to fight the enemy.

Knowing that airplanes were useless against the enemy's fleet, no airplanes were mobilized this time. All airplanes were sent to the Eastern Front to fight the Russians.

At the same time, he ordered the vassal troops recruited in Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway to rush to the front line quickly, and to recruit all men under the age of 60 in the local area.

If the Daxia people tried to make a feint to the east and attack in the west and bomb other cities, then their three-day agreement would lose its intimidating effect. If they bombed civilians in other cities, it would further demonstrate their hypocrisy.

If you dare to bomb Heidelberg in three days, your aircraft fleet will suffer heavy losses. I just want you to lose face.

Waldersee declared confidently, "You only encountered our army in France and Britain, and with the cooperation of the hateful guerrillas, you were able to win by chance."

"If you dare to invade Germany, you will be trapped in a vast sea of ​​50 million Germans. No matter north or south, no matter old or young, everyone has the responsibility to defend the land and resist the invaders from Daxia..." Three days passed in a flash, and the city of Heidelberg was empty. A large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery clusters were deployed in the south of the city, ready for battle.

The suburbs were filled with tents, and the fleeing citizens were curious about how the Daxia people would get out of this situation, wondering if they were afraid to come.

Until noon, the sky was quiet. Impatient citizens were already mocking Daxia for not keeping its word. Suddenly, someone pointed to the south and said, "Here, here they come!"

A large number of black spots were flying in the southern sky, but they were flying at an astonishing speed and were not bombers at all.

The sharp-eyed German air defense officer was insightful. Isn't this a V2 rocket? We also had it once, but unfortunately we have used it up now.

The air defense forces were unable to defend against the V2 rockets. Countless rockets fell into the city of Heidelberg and exploded in batches, plunging the city of Heidelberg into thick smoke from TNT.

Fifteen minutes later, the attack was over. The citizens cried out in grief. The city of Heidelberg had been razed to the ground. Their homes were gone.

Five minutes later, the Daxia announcer's German voice came over the radio.

"Dear citizens of Heidelberg, thank you for your cooperation. In this demonstration attack, Heidelberg has been precisely flattened and all the buildings have been lost, but don't be sad."

"Our Emperor Shao was the Earl of Heidelberg personally appointed by the late Emperor William I. He used his own territory as a demonstration to avoid losses to the German people."

"Marshal Shao promised that after the war, he would use his own money to rebuild Heidelberg."

"Marshal Shao has been the Earl of Heidelberg for twenty-two years. The cost of rebuilding Heidelberg will be paid from the tax revenues that Marshal Shao has received from Heidelberg over the years. It will be taken from Heidelberg and used for the benefit of the people."

"This time, Daxia launched 2 V2 rockets in Heidelberg, and everyone has seen the effect. Daxia currently has V rockets and can choose five more cities to attack."

"The next time we attack, we will not give warnings, and we will not promise to rebuild the cities we destroy."

"Use Waldersee to surrender as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary losses to the German people."

During the Second Battle of Copenhagen from August 1807 to September 8, 29, the British Navy launched 9 Hale rockets at Copenhagen, which was destroyed.

Heidelberg was hit by 2 V2s. The power of tons of TNT is far greater than the black powder of the Hale rocket. Heidelberg can be destroyed, and other cities cannot intercept Vs.

The news spread throughout Germany, and immediately, people from all major cities in Germany fled.

Who knows which city the Daxia people will destroy next? Is it okay if it's far away? If they launch missiles in Poland, it will be easy to hit Berlin.

Soon, rumors spread that a large number of Daxia special trains were stopping in Warsaw, and the people of Berlin immediately started a trend of fleeing.

…………

Five days later, Qiao Garden, two bamboo houses.

Zeng Xiaoyi took a piece of intelligence and asked to see Shao Quanzhong in person.

"Uncle, our informant has received accurate information that Waldersee quietly left Berlin and hid in Eagle Castle, preparing to lead the Germans to fight to the end."

Shao Quanzhong tapped his forehead and said, "This trick of shocking the enemy with a knock on the mountain is really well done. Zhang Zhidong has always been very capable and has a plan for everything."

"Hehe, Waldersee's prestige is no less than Bismarck's. Germany will never surrender unless he is killed."

Shao Quanzhong signaled to Yali, and Yali picked up the phone. After a while, a clear voice came out, "Marshal Shao ordered to immediately start the tiger extermination plan."
