The source of the German atomic bomb on the Avalon Peninsula is US President Harry S.
Truman Immediately after his phone call with Kennedy, he convened an emergency military meeting of the Cabinet.
At the beginning of the meeting, he first announced that he had learned through "secret channels" that Germany would use the atomic bomb again on the Avalon Peninsula.
Since Truman's "secret information" was confirmed last time, no one dared to take it lightly this time.
Marshall immediately hung up the phone with the Army General Staff and asked them to give an order to the Allied Northeast North American Command: Allied officers and soldiers on the Avalon Peninsula were to be prepared for all preparations against atomic bombing However, everyone knows that the Allied officers and soldiers on the Avalon Peninsula have no good way to defend against the Germans' atomic bombs except to dig holes, and the Germans can use the Avalon Peninsula not only a few 200,000-ton atomic bombs, but also a powerful fleet that sails beyond Concepson Bay.
The U.S.
Navy has completely collapsed after the explosion in the Bay of Fundy, with two of the 10 Essex-class aircraft carriers of the 56th Task Force sinking six seriously damaged, twenty or thirty cruisers and destroyers, and more than 20 seriously damaged.
The entire task force has completely lost its combat effectiveness and is now dispersing and retreating towards the Norfolk base.
As for Task Force 11, which was originally planning to reinforce Newfoundland, and Task Force 57, which was preparing to raid the Azores, they have now abandoned operations and are retreating in the direction of the Caribbean.
In other words, Newfoundland has become an isolated island and will soon be attacked by an overwhelming European Community navy.
Even if the Germans had not bombed the Churchill naval fortress with atomic bombs, relying on battleships and missile ships, they would have knocked out the Churchill fortress and opened the way into Concepson Bay.
In fact, shortly after the atomic bombing of Concepson Bay, the German S100 torpedo boats, piloted by naval officers and sailors in full radiation suits, ventured into Concepson Bay to attack the remaining British ships.
The Fokker 636, which took off from the aircraft carrier, also joined the operation in Concepson Bay with bombs.
By sunset on the 29th, the British fleet in Concepson Bay was basically incapacitated, and the only force that could stop the German landing in the bay was the artillery of the Churchill naval fortress.
What is even more worrying is that these cannons, which can defend Concepson Bay, are not in the direct control of the US military "Just now, I have instructed the Secretary of State to make a request for peace to Germany through the current relocation of the Imperial Roman Embassy to Chicago, with the belief that a general ceasefire will soon be achieved."
When Marshall returned to the conference room, President Truman was briefing cabinet members and the military top brass on the progress of the peace quest, and of course he could not tell everyone that he had been in direct contact with Hitler through secret channels, because this secret channel was not under the supervision of the US State Department and Congress, and it was a violation of the law.
So Truman only spoke of the open progress of the peace seeking, that is, through the State Department and the Roman Embassy in the United States, and then through Rome as an intermediary to Germany for peace.
And this formal and open channel of peace, while not exposing the president to a judicial crisis, has the problem of inflexibility and slow response.
It is possible that the United States will miss the best opportunity for peace, and in fact, the United States has missed the best opportunity, and if it drags on any longer, the situation will only get worse.
In addition, Truman also learned through various channels that on the German side, Chancellor Hitler of the "Lord-Peace faction" was actually constrained by the "warmongering" Juncker military clique in Germany, and he also needed a channel through which he could avoid the Junkers' military clique's sight and have direct contact with the US president.
This was what prompted Truman to venture out and establish a secret channel of communication with Hitler.
And since it was a secret channel, Truman could not disclose the contents of the private agreement he had reached with Hitler at a cabinet military meeting.
As a result, he would have great difficulty in fulfilling his promises to Hitler.
Now, for example, he cannot openly say that the surrender of the Avalon Peninsula is a prerequisite for a ceasefire, because open ceasefire negotiations have not yet begun.
So Truman could only fulfill his promise to Hitler by directly intervening in the same unorthodox method of operational command.
"Since a ceasefire is imminent," Truman said, glancing at Admiral Marshall, who had just finished talking on the phone with the Army Staff, with a sad face, "so we should avoid unnecessary casualties, and now is the time to withdraw the American ground forces on the Avalonian Peninsula." ” "Mr.
President" Marshall was shocked when he heard this, "The Avalon Peninsula is only 1,800 kilometers from New York, and if we give up there, the Germans will have a stronghold from which to launch an atomic attack on New York." ” "Admiral, I know how close the Avalon Peninsula is to New York."
Truman said angrily, "But can we hold the Avalon Peninsula, the Germans' atomic bombs will soon raze the Churchill Naval Fortress to the ground, and we will still lose the peninsula by then."
He paused, and said in an unusually gloomy tone, "But I doubt that the British guarding Churchill Fortress had the determination to take the atomic bomb for the sake of America, Colonel Donovan, what do you think?"
This is indeed a problem Marshall looked at Donovan, the director of strategic intelligence, who shook his head and said, "The British troops guarding the fortress are relatively reliable, but that was before the atomic bomb exploded."
The atomic bomb could not only destroy the Churchill naval fortress, but in fact, the 20,000-ton yield Heisenberg device did not have such power, but the British and American sides overestimated the power of the German atomic bomb because the underwater explosion scene of the atomic bomb was too large, and it also destroyed the hope of victory and draw Now the United States will definitely lose, the question is just how much to lose.
And the British Canadians, who fought with the United States, were in an even more desperate situation, facing not only defeat, but also the risk of becoming traitors to the country.
Because they lost not only a world war, but also a war of succession.
If they don't want to be sinners of their country for the rest of their lives, it would be a good way out to submit to Queen Elizabeth II in time.
"Retreat from the Avalon Peninsula" Truman saw that Marshall had nothing to say, so he simply made his own decision, "This is my order, and the Army Staff will only carry it out" "Yes, sir."
Marshall stood up, gave Truman a military salute, and then picked up his military hat and left the conference room once more to give what was later believed to be the order to accelerate the United States into the abyss.
British Vice Admiral Fraser's Tribal-class destroyer USS Athabasca escaped the catastrophe when it hid behind Belle Island during the nuclear explosion in Concepson Bay.
But the Germans' atomic bombs still dealt a severe blow to the psychology of all British officers and soldiers on the Avalon Peninsula, including Lieutenant General Fraser, and plunged them into complete despair.
The spirit of "destroy the enemy" that the British Royal Navy has always been proud of has also disappeared with the explosion of the atomic bomb.
The ships that survived the nuclear explosion on the sea, including the American torpedo boats that were integrated into the Newfoundland fleet, did not wait for Fraser's order, and all rushed to the nearest beach, regardless of whether there was a port or not, and then abandoned the ship and fled Vice Admiral Fraser, on the other hand, was a little stronger, and finally did not let the "Athabasca" run aground on the beach, but let the warship sail into the port of Portugal, the closest to the naval fortress of Churchill.
After getting off the ship, he asked his men to find a few cars, and then went straight to the Churchill naval fortress.
When he arrived at the panicked Churchill Naval Fortress in a daze, he found that the fortress seemed to be empty, and the British soldiers who were supposed to be on duty outside the fortress did not know where to run, Vice Admiral Fraser's car went all the way unimpeded, passed through several unmanned checkpoints, and was finally blocked at the entrance to the core area of the fortress, because the gate of the fortress core was closed, and there was no one on duty in the outpost outside the gate.
"What's the matter, where have all the people gone," asked Lieutenant General Fraser, looking at the closed gate and the surrounding empty trenches, anti-aircraft positions, anti-tank gun emplacements, and lookout posts.
"Probably all went to hide from the atomic bomb," Fraser's chief of staff, Colonel Cook, guessed correctly.
The British troops at sea were afraid of the atomic bomb, and the British troops inside the fortress were of course also afraid, and the hasty withdrawal of the Allied Newfoundland Ground Forces Command, led by Lieutenant General Collins of the US Army, from the fortress also seriously damaged the morale of the British troops in the fortress.

Everyone thought that Churchill Naval Fortress was the next target of atomic bombing.
Therefore, after the nuclear explosion in Concepson Bay, all the British officers and soldiers who were originally stationed on the surface of the fortress went to the underground core bunkers to hide from the atomic bomb.
The armored turret and the fortress radar station were also empty.
Suffice it to say that the Churchill naval fortress is now in an undefended state, and if the Germans now throw a company of airborne troops, the fortress will change hands.
"It's so shameful, how can the soldiers of the British Empire be so afraid of death" clarified the situation, Fraser was furious, but there was no way to deal with those British soldiers who were afraid of death who were hiding from the atomic bomb.
Because he can't enter the fortress now, and his people who want to give orders can't hear it.
When he was angry, someone next to him suddenly shouted: "Air raid air raid" Fraser hurriedly raised his binoculars and looked into the dim sky, he wanted to see if it was the 264 that dropped the atomic bomb, and if so, he would be dead.
However, he was stunned when he saw it, and it turned out that what appeared in the air were three Short "Sunderland" seaplanes painted with the British Royal Navy mark.
Chapter 1272: The catastrophe is coming, and they fly separately Now it is the Royal Navy seaplanes attacking the British Royal Navy fortresses Lieutenant General Fraser looked at the Schott "Sunderland" seaplane hovering in the air, and suddenly had a feeling of unreality.
Because the anti-aircraft artillery positions of the fortress were now unmanned, there was no anti-aircraft fire to prevent the three SCHOTT "Sunderland" seaplanes from approaching the fortress.
Several of Fraser's lieutenants and staff officers rushed up to set up Fraser and tried to find a place to hide, but were pushed away by the British vice admiral who was angry.
"I'm not going anywhere, just here, let the British bombs up," Lieutenant General Fraser shouted his "wish", but unfortunately the British bulletin in the sky did not carry bombs, and what was dropped was a leaflet.
The contents of the leaflet are the edicts of Queen Elizabeth II In the edict, the Queen ordered the officers and men of the "astray Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force" stationed in the Canadian Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force to immediately pledge allegiance to her and join in the cause of liberating the Dominion of Canada.
At the same time, the queen also assured that all British officers and soldiers who had taken refuge in her would retain their original ranks and all their glory, and that they would be properly resettled after the war, and that they would not be held accountable for their experience of being deceived and used by the American invaders.
In short, if you abandon the darkness and join the camp of Elizabeth II now, you will be a good comrade of the British Empire.
If they refuse to join, Her Majesty's troops will immediately land and destroy them, traitors to the British Empire After handing over a mimeographed edict to his chief of staff, Colonel Cook, Lieutenant General Fraser smiled bitterly: "If we defeat Her Majesty's army, the Germans will probably drop atomic bombs."
"No, it won't."
Colonel Cook shook his head, "Lieutenant General, if it was Her Majesty's troops who landed on Newfoundland, then why should we fight them, aren't we the British army" "But Queen Elizabeth's throne is illegitimate."
Lieutenant General Fraser seems to be a little hesitant.
"Illegal" Colonel Cook looked at Lieutenant General Fraser seriously, "We are soldiers, and we don't know much about the question of whether the laws of the empire are illegal or not, and it should be decided by His Excellency the Lord Justice of Great Britain." ” Yes, Lieutenant General Fraser nodded again and again, Colonel Cook is right, he is a general and not a judge, how do you know if the queen is illegal or not "Viscount Simon, Lord Chancellor of Great Britain, never said that the Queen was illegitimate."
Colonel Cook said eloquently, "This shows that Her Majesty the Queen is the rightful sovereign of the British Empire."
Colonel Cook refers to the Lord Chancellor of Great Britain as Viscount John Simon, a former British foreign secretary and one of the Conservative Triumvirate.
He happened to be a British justice at the time of the London incident, and he did not go to Canada, so the Bolsheviks were caught right and almost shot according to the bourgeois reactionary legal authority.
Fortunately, Queen Elizabeth's guards were able to fight and rescued him in time, and after being rescued, he will be his Judge of Great Britain and Viscount.
Such a life was saved by Queen Elizabeth, how dare the Justice of Great Britain say that the Queen is illegal Fraser nodded vigorously: "Her Majesty the Queen is the legitimate monarch, and we must be on the side of the legitimate monarch." ” Speaking of this, he glanced up at the closed gate of the fortress, he couldn't enter the fortress now, wouldn't there be no way to surrender At this moment, one of his lieutenants had already found a way to enter the gate, and it turned out that the person had found a telephone in the checkpoint outside the gate of the core area of the fortress, and the phone could still be connected, and he directly contacted the deputy commander who stayed behind in the fortress.
"Hell, why don't you have a defender on the upper floor" Receiving the phone from the adjutant, Fraser did not say that he was ready to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but directly reprimanded.
Even if you want to surrender, someone has to defend the fortress, otherwise surrendering will not be welcome.
"Sir, I've got someone to open the door for you, and you can come down quickly, the Germans are about to drop the atomic bomb."
"What" Fraser was shocked when he heard the deputy commander's report, "Who said this is a rumor?"
"No, not a rumor.
It was the Allied Newfoundland Command that said that the Germans were preparing to flatten the Avalon Peninsula with atomic bombs, so the Americans had begun to retreat from the Avalon Peninsula."
"What, what" Fraser was even more surprised this time, "the Americans ran and they ran" "yes, now we're the only ones left on the Avalonian Peninsula."
"Lieutenant General," Colonel Cook, who was next to Fraser and could hear the voice coming from the receiver of the telephone, interjected, "We didn't see a single American soldier when we came from Portugal Harbor just now, and we didn't see any Americans in Portugal Harbor."
Fraser thought about it, and sure enough, he didn't see the Americans all the way, which means that the Americans themselves escaped and left the British to eat the atomic bomb It's so shameless that it definitely won't work Thinking of this, Fraser immediately gave an order on the phone: "Hurry up and send someone to open the door for me, and prepare another speedboat and a white flag." ” "Lieutenant General White Flag, what are you going to do?"
"What are you doing," Fraser snorted, "Of course you're on the right side, if you don't want to get the atomic bomb, you have to be on the right side, understand?"
After saying that, Fraser hung up the phone, and then said to Colonel Cook: "When it is dawn tomorrow, you will take a speedboat with a white flag to Concepson Bay, and see if you can meet the German speedboat."
If so, say that it was an emissary sent by the naval fortress of Churchill to see Field Marshal Alexander. ” While the British troops inside Churchill Naval Fort were busy reuniting, on the west shore of Concepson Bay, Second Lieutenant Brandt of the German Airborne Forces was pursuing the fleeing American armored unit with his platoon of paratroopers with a dozen or so men left That's right, German paratroopers with FG42 paratrooper rifles and Iron Fist grenade launchers are now pursuing 26 tanks, 4A3 tanks Although the Americans' 26 and 4A3 can easily crush their pursuers with their tracks as long as they turn their heads too much.
But the Germans had an atomic bomb, and that thing could blow up a "5,000-meter" wall of water that could be dropped down was actually 2,000 meters, but the frightened US officers and soldiers felt that the wall of water was 5,000 meters high, and it could cause several waves of tsunamis.
So when the order to retreat came, even Lieutenant General Walker couldn't stop the troops from collapsing, which was probably the real defeat of the army When the morale of the army completely collapsed and the officers and soldiers lost their fighting spirit, the armored soldiers, who operated tanks and armored vehicles, were reluctant to engage in firefights with armored soldiers who only possessed light weapons.
From Port Grace Airport to the west, abandoned vehicles and weapons could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road, some of which had only minor breakdowns, while others had simply run out of fuel, and the American forces on Newfoundland were not short of fuel at all, and the 20th Army under the command of Lieutenant General Walker also went into battle with a long convoy of fuel.
Theoretically, it only takes a short time for tankers to come and refuel tankers or other vehicles.
But now the American soldiers, frightened by the atomic bomb, have fallen into chaos, and they are afraid that they will be killed by the atomic bomb if they run slowly.
However, this kind of pursuit of the water dogs did not last long, and at three or four o'clock in the morning of the 30th, the American troops, who had retreated more than ten kilometers south from the Port Graces airport, finally stopped retreating, and the German paratroopers who pursued them did not dare to really go to the armored forces, so they accepted it as soon as they saw it.
And the reason that allowed Lieutenant General Walton Walker's troops to stop their retreat was not that they remembered the duty and glory of an American soldier, but that there was a serious traffic jam.
U.S. convoys that had been withdrawn from all over the Avalon Peninsula poured onto the roads near the isthmus, blocking the roads.

Lieutenant General Collins' command column was also blocked on the road near the town of Whitburn, and at about 5 o'clock in the morning of the 30th, he saw the embarrassed Walton Walker on the road west of the town to the isthmus.
"Why did you order the retreat?"
asked Lieutenant General Walker, somewhat irritated.
"That damn atomic bomb has already caused panic in the hearts of the people, and retreating at this time could easily cause the collapse of the troops" Lieutenant General Walker's annoyance was justified, and the troops had long been shaken by the fact that they had witnessed the atomic bomb exploding in the water, and some of them had been struck by the tsunami.
In this case, the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army, not to retreat without a head.
If you blindly retreat in the face of a collapse in morale, it is very easy to cause a rout.
These truths are almost common sense Lieutenant General Collins also had a bad face, seeing that the victory was about to be reached, he was brutally blown up by 3 German atomic bombs, and what was worse was that the 4th German atomic bomb was likely to hit his head directly.
"Walton," Lieutenant General Collins sighed, "this is the order from above, the order from the Eastern Theater of Operations in North America," he looked left and right, and saw that it was himself and Lieutenant General Walker's adjutant, before continuing, "and said that tomorrow Germany will drop atomic bombs on the Avalon Peninsula, possibly two more." ” Lieutenant General Collins didn't get any information about throwing a few shots, but the commander of the US Army's elite staff officer was very good at fooling around.
He believed that the two atomic bombs dropped on the Bay of Fundy were also meant to be dropped on the Avalon Peninsula, but that the Germans had changed their plans only because the Germans had discovered Task Force 56 "Throw 2 more" Lieutenant General Walker gasped, "The intelligence is reliable" Lieutenant General Collins nodded and said, "We didn't get the news before today's atomic bomb attack, otherwise, our losses would probably be even greater, so we might as well retreat quickly." ” t1706231537:
