City is very big. As the only super-large city in the world with a population of more than 10 million, Gotham City is much larger than other cities in the world.
If you want to completely destroy such a large city, a bombing is impossible to solve the problem, just like the German army bombed the capital of the British Empire.
In order to completely wipe out the capital of the British Empire from the map, the German army bombed the British Empire for a whole week, mobilized thousands of aircraft, and dropped tens of thousands of tons of bombs, which razed most of the buildings in the British Empire to the ground!
Gotham City is larger than the British Empire, and there are more buildings in the city, and they are taller.
Although the name of the Empire State Building was taken away by Hans, Eagle Sauce built the Republic Building by himself, and the height reached 388 meters. It is currently the second tallest building in the world, second only to Hans’ Empire State Building!
In the early twentieth century, the ability to build tall buildings with a height of nearly 400 meters was amazing.
What was even more amazing was that there were dozens of such buildings in Gotham City, and their height generally exceeded 200 meters.
So many skyscrapers gathered together to create the prosperity of the Manhattan District of Gotham City!
Even in later generations, people were still amazed by these large-scale tall buildings in the Manhattan District of Gotham City, not to mention now!
Over the years, Europe has become more and more closely connected with the Eagle Sauce.
After World War I, the Eagle Sauce became the creditor of European countries.
A large number of European countries ran to the Eagle Sauce to borrow money to rebuild their countries.
As the financial center of the Eagle Sauce, Gotham City has hosted countless foreign guests.
And these tall buildings in the most prosperous Manhattan District, together with the image of Eagle Sauce’s wealth and power, have become the entire impression of the Eagle Sauce in European countries!
At this moment, these magnificent skyscrapers that cost a lot of money to build collapsed one by one under the bombing of the German army’s heavy bombs, turning into ruins and rubble!
Boom boom boom!
Tons of bombs were constantly dropped from the belly of the B-29 bomber. The main target of the German attack this time was the financial district of Manhattan.
At present, the Eagle Sauce has two magic weapons for victory. One is their strong industrial strength, and the other is their strong financial strength.
If you want to destroy the Eagle Sauce, you need to start from these two aspects.
Either destroy their industrial strength, weaken the combat effectiveness of their army, and make their army weak and unable to fight!
Or destroy their financial power, let their government finances collapse, and fail to raise war funds, so that they can’t start their own war machine and can’t intervene on a large scale!
If you want to destroy the industrial strength of the Eagle Sauce, you need to bomb all the industrial bases of the Eagle Sauce in the district. These districts, which are called the Rust Belt in later generations, are currently the most prosperous industrial areas in the world. The scale of its industry and the wide distribution of its industries far exceed Hans’s Ruhr Industrial District!
If you can destroy this place, you can’t completely destroy the industrial strength of the Eagle Sauce, but at least you can weaken more than half of their war potential!
However, the industrial bases in the Great Lakes region of the Eagle Sauce are located deep and widely distributed. It is not possible to destroy them with one or two bombings, and the financial system of the Eagle Sauce is completely different! The financial center of the
Eagle Sauce is in Gotham City by the sea, and the finance of Gotham City is mainly concentrated on Wall Street!
Wall Street is in the Manhattan area, so the German army chose to bomb here, not only because it is the most prosperous area in Gotham City, but also because it has the most banks, securities and stock exchanges and other financial institutions! At this moment, this area, which is usually prosperous and gathers a lot of wealth from North America, has been completely engulfed by the sea of fire!
In order to increase the strike power as much as possible and expand the scope of killing, the weapons and ammunition carried by this batch of German bombers are mainly divided into two types: one is napalm incendiary bombs. After the explosion of this bomb, a raging fire will ignite, and the burning range will be very large. If it encounters anything flammable, it will immediately expand the fire. If this weapon is used on a large scale, it is easy to turn a city into a white land.
When the Eagle Sauce people bombed the capital of the Foot Basin, Dongjing, they chose this weapon. Under the bombing of this napalm bomb, the number of casualties of the Foot Basin people was even greater than that caused by two atomic bombs!
Gotham City is extremely prosperous, with storefront shops everywhere. These shops are piled with a large number of flammable goods and goods, so using napalm bombs to attack the urban area can effectively destroy the urban area.
However, Gotham City is not Dongjing after all. Most of the main buildings in Gotham City are reinforced concrete, which is still very resistant to burning. Therefore, incendiary bombs can only destroy the property in the city, but cannot raze the city to the ground. If you want to destroy the iconic buildings in the city, you still need to use heavy bombs or even earth-penetrating bombs!
Whoosh!
With a sharp whistle, when the German B-29 bomber group arrived over the Republic Building, they aimed at this tall iconic building in Gotham City and dropped a 1.5-ton heavy earth-penetrating bomb! The first earth-penetrating bomb successfully drilled into the top of the building, penetrated five floors in succession, and then exploded!
The 1.5-heavy bomb flattened the fifth floor of the building. The huge explosion completely severed the connection between the fifth floor and the four floors above, making the roof of the building above become a rootless duckweed. Blown by the wind, it slid to the side and fell from a height of more than 300 meters, raising hundreds of meters of dust!
At this time, the second earth-penetrating bomb dropped by the bomber behind followed. This bomb easily penetrated the roof of the sixth floor and ended at the eleventh floor. Like the first bomb, this bomb also collapsed the eleventh floor, causing the five floors above to collapse!
The planes behind did the same thing. When passing by the Republic Building, they dropped the heavy earth-penetrating bombs they carried in their bellies one by one, like a relay race, constantly weakening the height of the Republic Building.
As a result, when the fifteenth earth-penetrating bomb fell, 75 floors of the entire Republic Building had been blown up, and the height of the building had been reduced by a full 300 meters, becoming a short ruin of less than 90 meters!
In the Manhattan area, other buildings over 200 meters high were almost treated the same way. The bombing of these iconic buildings was carefully planned by the German army before the air raid. They knew that these buildings were symbols of the strength of the Eagle Sauce country, so they specifically wanted to destroy these buildings and destroy the confidence of the Eagle Sauce people, so that they would realize what kind of terrible existence they had provoked!
