Chapter 723 Progress

"These damned Jews!"

But President Wilkie only cursed in his heart, and it was impossible for him to use any extreme measures against these Jews.

As mentioned above, Jews are not very popular in the United States, but most of them are from the middle and lower classes, and many Jews have gained huge wealth in the United States with their intelligence and wisdom.

For example, the famous Rothschild family (this family started in the early 19th century, and its founder was Mayer Rothschild. He and his five sons successively opened banks in famous European cities such as Frankfurt, London, Paris, Vienna, and Naples, and thus established their own banking industry chain), Jack Warner (the most prolific producer in Hollywood), David Sarnoff (the president of a company that brought radio and television into thousands of households), Bucky Siegel (the founder of the first giant casino in Las Vegas), Joseph Seligman (a self-made banker), Joseph Pulitzer (the founder of the Pulitzer Prize), and so on.

American consortiums can fund the election of the US president, governors, mayors, and congressmen. Therefore, these Jews also gained stable political rights. President Wilkie naturally could not take action against these Jews at will.

He could not help but think of the "Night of Long Knives" launched by Germany a few years ago. The German Crown Prince arrested a large number of Jews and former government officials with thundering means, sent them all to concentration camps without any distinction, and confiscated all their assets.

No one would say anything about this. Even if other countries condemned such barbaric behavior, the German Crown Prince could admit it openly: "I am so talented! What do you care?!" Who made them an empire? What else can others say? Can they incite the German people to overthrow this evil empire?

After the end of World War I, Germany's political system was forced to change from a dual monarchy to a parliamentary monarchy. And the lives of the German people have also undergone earth-shaking changes. The high amount of compensation plunged Germany into an economic crisis, and the people lived in dire straits, from the previous happy life to the point where it was difficult to eat. The impoverished and resentful German people, especially the petty bourgeoisie, were completely disappointed with the Wei government. In order to find a way out, they could only protest against the government's restoration of the monarchy.

Under tremendous pressure, the government was forced to resign collectively and the parliament was dissolved. William II, who was more centralized than more than a decade ago, handed over state affairs to the Crown Prince Yannick, who was only in his early twenties, and went to another country to relax.

Unexpectedly, the German Crown Prince pulled Germany back from the brink of poverty in a short period of time and quickly rose to such a powerful empire today. It was simply an unimaginable miracle. At this time, anyone who dared to talk to the Germans about overthrowing the monarchy would probably immediately become an enemy of the Germans.

What is surprising is that after the "Night of the Long Knives", the remaining Jews became the "running dogs" of the Germans, and spared no effort to support the German war with money and effort. Hundreds of thousands of Jewish youths joined the army and followed the Germans to fight east and west.

President Wilkie heard rumors that the German Crown Prince promised these Jews that they would let them establish their own country in Jerusalem after the war. Now that the entire Middle East has fallen into the hands of the Germans, this promise can be easily fulfilled. This rumor seems to have made many Jews in the United States think about it, and they secretly flirted with the Germans, as if they were playing a double-bet trick.

"These damn Jews!"

Just when President Wilkie ordered the new FBI director to find those German spies as soon as possible, the German bomber formation bombed New York and Washington as usual.

These two cities have been hit by thousands of tons of bombs in recent days. The once prosperous cities are now full of desolate ruins and broken walls.

Various landmark buildings in Washington, such as the White House, the Pentagon, the Capitol, the Washington National Cathedral, the Lincoln Memorial...etc. have been bombed to a greater or lesser extent, and the unfortunate Washington Monument was blown into a pile of ruins and rubble.

And New York is not much better.

One of the most famous buildings in New York City is the Empire State Building.

The Empire State Building was started in 1930 and completed in 1931, taking only 410 days to build. The building is 381 meters high and has 103 floors (after adding a 62-meter-high antenna in 1951, the total height is 7 meters, so how high the Empire State Building is depends on how you calculate it). Since 1931, it has been the world's tallest building for 40 years. At that time, it was hailed as one of the seven engineering wonders of the world (Panama Canal, Dutch Delta Project, Itaipu Dam, Empire State Building, Channel Tunnel, Golden Gate Bridge, Canadian National Tower).

Such a famous and eye-catching landmark building, the German army will naturally not let it go. Every time, they deliberately bombed back and forth several times. Even if the bombing at an altitude of 10,000 meters had no accuracy, it could not withstand continuous bombing. After several rounds of bombing, this building, which had just been built for ten years, was finally hit by two bombs.

But the Germans did not mean to stop there. It seemed that they would not stop until it was blown down, and they would drop several rounds of bombs every time they came.

The second target of the German bomber group was the Statue of Liberty standing in New York Harbor.

The Statue of Liberty is known as the symbol of the United States and the pride of New Yorkers; the German army would naturally not let it go.

Although the Statue of Liberty is 93 meters high, it is not as difficult to hit as the Empire State Building. The German bombing formation dropped hundreds of tons of bombs on it, but none of them hit it. It just stood there.

However, this was enough to make the New York City government and the people nervous, fearing that a bomb would really hit it one day.

Finally, the New York City government ordered the relocation of the Statue of Liberty. After all, the Empire State Building could not be moved, but the Statue of Liberty could be moved. They moved the Statue of Liberty to a valley in the suburbs and hid it. The German bombers also missed it and dropped bombs on the dock.

While New York and Washington were bombed, Turkmenistan, far away, was defeated. The German army easily conquered one city after another and swept across Turkmenistan.

The remaining Soviet troops in the last city of Turkmenistan retreated to the city hall building and fought stubbornly.

After surrounding the city hall building, the German company commander asked. "Are there any assault guns nearby?"

The signalman holding the walkie-talkie fiddled with it for a while and reported. "Company commander, there are three 'Cheetahs' nearby, coming over soon."

After a while, three "Cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft guns drove over, and a total of 1 bomber and 2 20mm anti-aircraft guns sprayed dense bullets at the city hall building.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The 20mm shells made dense bowl-sized bullet holes on the wall of the city hall building. Unless they were indestructible, the people inside could be said to be dead.

Afterwards, several "Grizzly" assault guns came to support. The 150mm artillery bombarded the building fiercely, and the shaky building finally couldn't hold on and collapsed with a loud bang amid the cheers of the German soldiers. Even if the Soviet troops inside avoided the 20mm shells, they would be buried alive inside.

With this, the entire territory of Turkmenistan was occupied by the German army.
