Big Time 1958 - Chapter 986
“We have to look at the population density near the new storage site. In general, these things are stored in places far away from residential areas. We must realize this.” Shelov’s remark is not unfounded, nor is it true A suggestion, just a reminder. Given the population density of the Federal Republic of Germany, there may be problems, but not much.
Since thirteen years ago, the Federal Republic of Germany has had the lowest birth rate in the world. There, the majority of women continue to maintain the tradition of having fewer or no children, keeping the total population of the country at 58 million. Of course, this does not include Turkish immigrants. If the scale of imported laborers is counted, this figure is Sixty-three million. This figure does not include the smuggling of people transported by the KGB over the decades…
The Federal Republic of Germany is the most densely populated country in Europe. Considering the relationship between population density, in a broad sense, except for the military station drawn for NATO, the Federal Republic of Germany does not have a no-man’s land in the strict sense. So no matter where this batch of chemical weapons is placed, as long as the KGB detonates it, it can cause casualties.
“It doesn’t seem to be a big problem at the moment, you can do it!” Shelov evaluated it, “It’s a big deal to increase the amount of detonation…”
The power of chemical weapons is far greater than that of chemical fuels. There is one thing in Serov’s mind that can be used as a reference for harmfulness. The Bhopal gas leak in India caused 25,000 deaths and 550,000 people died. , 200,000 people were disabled, because the factory was located in a downtown area, which directly caused this shocking consequence.
Only he himself has this impression in this world, because it did not happen in this history. The Bhopal gas leak in India, because the basic conditions did not exist, the Soviet Union has long had an absolute advantage in South Asia, and India in this world has become more dependent on the Soviet Union. , and the Bhopal gas leak factory was opened by Americans.
The fate of is also very interesting. At that time, Serov set fire to the slums in Mumbai, causing India to attack Pakistan in a desperate attempt, which led to sanctions from the United States, but the conditions for the Bhopal gas leak in India no longer existed. Serov is regarded as indirectly saving a lot of Indians.
The main culprit responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Indians was the leakage of 45 tons of chemical raw materials. As long as the KGB can detonate a chemical weapons warehouse, only God knows how many casualties it will cause.
This thing is not unfamiliar to the Soviet Union, because the Soviet Union itself has a production line of chemical weapons. It is used to deal with a possible war with the United States, not to mention the United States. In the Vietnam War, the US military used a large number of chemical weapons.
Therefore, the explosion of a chemical arsenal will cause the Soviet Union to easily assess the extent of the impact.
The top secret order was issued from Lubyanka, using the most primitive transmission method, and finally reached the KGB spy who had been lurking in the Federal Republic of Germany for many years, Koch Hoffmann, a chemical expert in the Federal Republic of Germany, who passed the Stasi Arranged in the Federal Republic of Germany, but he is not a member of the GDR, but a minority of the Soviet Union, a descendant of the Germans, a Volga German, and has long served BASF, the successor of Farben Chemical.
Of course, Koch Hoffman did not know the whole of the mission. Many chemical weapons were installed by Koch Hoffman as the chief engineer. Some unnecessary settings were installed. In earlier missions, Koch Hoffman’s task was to set a Sensors that can be sensed by the Soviet army to prevent the Soviet Union from being hit by chemical weapons when they attack.
Koch Hoffmann’s next step, unknown to him, was that some of the warheads had been replaced with detonators. When the Soviet Union got serious, the quality was very reliable, like using an abacus to make an atomic bomb. As long as this detonator does not detonate, it will never explode. It’s just a small subroutine in a chemical warhead that won’t block the main program.
According to the production year, the same batch of warheads has a so-called locator installed…
Koch Hoffman’s work is here, and the executor must not be him. This kind of spy who has been lurking for many years will not be used. Because these spies are likely to have fallen into emotional entanglements, which is a taboo in espionage work.
Christmas, the biggest festival in the western world, has just passed, and people who have dispersed from the celebratory atmosphere continue to work. Offenburg is just a small town in Germany with a population of only more than 60,000 people. Twenty kilometers to the southwest is the French border. Here, together with France and a transit point in the Federal Republic of Germany. However, it is not a strategically important city, and there are many cities that can replace Offenburg.
In the past few days, some heavy trucks passed by Offenburg, but they did not attract the attention of the people in the small town. People in border towns are no stranger to the big trucks that come and go. Do you think that the border trade with France is a bit too much recently?
Even the drivers of these trucks don’t know what they are transporting. The truck driver industry is just a tool for the flow of materials, and they earn money for running errands. Many drivers are very satisfied with this particularly generous remuneration, and they will not go to the bottom of what is being transported in their cars.
General countries are very spiritual about transporting dangerous goods and will definitely use military vehicles as tools. But for countries like the Federal Republic of Germany and Japan, a reluctance can explain the status quo of the two countries. The situation in the Federal Republic of Germany is not bad. The biggest enemy of Japan’s rebuilding of the standing army is precisely the United States.
Chemical weapons are also very important. The Germans know the situation of their own country and must not let the Soviets get the news. Therefore, the transfer is carried out very carefully. The transfer for more than ten years has been completed by several large automobile companies. The army must not be directly involved in order to prevent it from being discovered by the behemoth in the east.
It is very dangerous to keep chemical arsenals in one place, so after Christmas passed, the transfer started again. One of the destinations is a warehouse in the northwest of Offenburg, a storage warehouse in the Federal Republic of Germany.
The busy day passed quickly, and the streets of the small town became quiet again. Forty years after the war, as a highly developed country, the pace of life in the Federal Republic of Germany became more and more slow. Enter into silence.
A few kilometers away, the unloaded containers have all been locked in the warehouse, and the car company responsible for transportation has left.
The disciplined Bundeswehr soldiers are at the end of a busy day, preparing to rest in twos and threes.
“Hans, do you know what exactly we are guarding?” A young recruit asked the elder brother who had served here for more than a year, his voice full of curiosity.
“I don’t know either, my job for the past year is to watch this warehouse be built!” The soldier named Hans shrugged and said that he didn’t know anything about this place or the containers that came to the warehouse today.
“I see, maybe it’s something extraordinary.” The soldier who just asked joked that the post-war generation of Germans has lessened a lot of stereotypes, and even the GDR retains more traditions than the Commonwealth. Germany is more.
The climate of the Federal Republic of Germany is not too cold in Europe, but the temperature after the sun goes down is still very low. Soon the soldiers returned to the dormitory to rest, and the time was passing little by little.
According to the research of scientists, two o’clock in the middle of the night is the most comfortable time for a person to sleep. Even if there is a sudden situation at this time, no one knows that there is a very dangerous warhead in this warehouse area. In the warehouse, two kilometers away, an off-road vehicle was already in good condition. A young man in the car looked calm but was very nervous. This can be seen from his small movements of constantly watching the time.
At two o’clock in the middle of the night, the young man pressed the detonator, which is the limit range, and then skillfully started the car and rushed towards the border between Germany and France without stopping. The French passport was ready in the car, and he was also proficient in French. Minutes of reaction time are definitely enough for him to escape the safety zone.
At 2:10 midnight German time, the military warehouses near Offenburg were very calm. Suddenly, one of the warehouses suddenly made an earth-shattering loud noise. Accompanied by a huge explosion, the warehouse with very good quality was instantly destroyed. All the soldiers were awake from their sleep, and the confused soldiers were in shock, but immediately prepared to put out the fire…
“Go and put out the fire!” In the shouts of some non-commissioned officers and veterans, the spiritless soldiers ran towards the warehouse as ordered.
“What’s inside, the color of the fire doesn’t seem to be the same?” a soldier who followed everyone wondered.
And this smoke is much thicker than a normal fire, the mind has not yet exited, the pungent smell entered the lungs down the nose, almost all the soldiers coughed violently, and there was a strong burning sensation in the eyes at the same time.
Cough! Everyone fell to the ground and coughed violently, and some people responded weakly and shouted, “This is a chemical weapon…”
The commander in the warehouse area was awakened by the loud explosion, and he didn’t need the officer on duty to come to remind himself. He panicked and ordered, “Retreat, don’t go out to put out the fire, we don’t have the ability!” The commander who didn’t even wear a military uniform rushed out. Shouting to stop other soldiers from going to put out the fire, but the poisonous gas began to spread, and the soldiers who just came out kept falling to the ground and dying. ,
It was only at this time that the commander realized that he had to flee this place immediately and report to his superior to deal with it quickly. This idea just appeared, and the pungent smell penetrated into the nose. It was too late. The southwest monsoon that existed all year round in Germany increased the spread of the poisonous gas. speed. The poisonous gas headed straight for Offenburg.
