Chapter 1353 -977: Chaos in Germany

Boom! Boom!

Two consecutive explosions ripped through the entire meeting room, causing instant and severe casualties among the gathered generals.

In order to ensure the success of the assassination operation, Colonel Klaus had specifically requested that General Ludwig procure two small bombs through his connections, which were reasonably powerful and conveniently portable.

Just by the sound of the explosions, it was clear that the two small bombs were far more powerful than hand grenades.

Since it was a small meeting room, the distance between each table was only one or two meters.

This distance was well within the lethal range of a hand grenade, not to mention the two bombs that were more powerful.

“Prime Minister, Your Excellency!”

“Quick, protect His Excellency!”

The Chancellor’s Guards outside the meeting room were the first to react, rushing into the meeting room to locate the Prime Minister.

But the thick smoke from the explosions had not dispersed, and the chaos from the explosions, along with many injured, made it difficult to quickly locate the Chancellor.

Fortunately, the meeting room was not very large, and about a minute or so after the explosion, the guards finally found the Chancellor.

But by then, the German Chancellor was in bad shape.

Due to his proximity to the explosion site, although a heavy wooden table shielded him from most of the blast, shards of metal and other hard objects from the explosives still struck his body.

The worst part was that since the explosions occurred in quick succession, there was little protection during the second blast.

The German Chancellor was now a bloody mess from the waist up and had lost consciousness.

“Damn it, call a doctor, quick!” the Guard Captain yelled in a hurry.

The safety of the Chancellor was of utmost importance to all of Germany; if the Chancellor were to die from this assassination attempt, the Guard Captain didn’t even want to imagine the consequences he would face.

“Arrange for another vehicle immediately, inform the hospital to prepare,” the Guard Captain continued to order.

Although a doctor would accompany the Chancellor, such a situation was beyond what one doctor could handle.

The Chancellor needed to be transported to the hospital as quickly as possible; there might still be a chance to save his life.

Although there was initial panic, the Chancellor’s Guards quickly carried out their orders.

The accompanying Doctor provided basic first aid and attempted to stabilize the Chancellor, and the group hurriedly escorted him to the hospital.

As for the other high-ranking generals who were also in bad shape in the meeting room, other vehicles would transport them to the hospital—that was not something the Chancellor’s Guards needed to worry about.

The incident of the German Chancellor being attacked at the meeting and rushed to the hospital was quickly detected by intelligence organizations of various countries.

This was actually quite normal. While the overt wars between countries raged on, covert intelligence activities were just as intense.

Australasia alone had dispatched hundreds of intelligence personnel to Germany, who were disguised in various industries, living under different identities.

While many had been discovered, there were still over a hundred whose covers had not been blown.

The attack at the meeting room was a secret the German government simply could not keep; it was easy to obtain such information.

“What? The German Chancellor was attacked and is currently in a life or death situation?” Arthur said shocked, sitting opposite to Director Barty of the Royal Intelligence Bureau.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Director Barty replied, “According to our intel, the German Chancellor was attending a gathering when he suffered a bomb attack, and was severely injured by the time he was taken to the hospital.”

Arthur nodded, but the shock in his heart did not subside in the slightest.

For Germany at the time, the life or death of the German Chancellor was of paramount importance. After all, the only truly steadfast proponent of war was the Chancellor himself; most others merely followed his orders.

Take for example the Chancellor’s confidants, such as the Air Force Commander Goring, and others. Would these people stop the Chancellor if he ordered peace negotiations? Of course not.

This also meant that if the German Chancellor died in this assassination, Germany might very well transition from a resolute pro-war faction to a peace-seeking one, and the war might come to a swift end.

But historical experience suggested that this assassination did not succeed.

In history, Germany persevered until the very end of the war, and it was only after suffering huge casualties and with the Capital City Berlin being breached that they were forced to renounce and surrender.

And the German Chancellor who had stubbornly initiated the war eventually chose to end his life by suicide.

If it weren’t for the fact that the famous German General Rommel was involved in the assassination, Arthur would have had no recollection of this historically insignificant event.

But regardless, this assassination attempt was already completely different from the event in history.

Arthur still had to be prepared, regardless of whether the German Chancellor was dead or alive, it could not affect Australasia’s upcoming battle plans.

Of course, if the German Chancellor were to die in this assassination, it would be more than welcome news.

The war could end more quickly and would hardly impact Australasia’s interest in the post-war distribution.

After all, at this point in time, Australasia was a world’s second-ranking military superpower and the world’s leading economic superpower (Native Land); aside from Germany, which had annexed multiple industrial nations, Australasia was far ahead in the industry and economy of the major Powers.
