The sun never sets

"If you can stop working and recover from your illness, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Sebastian snorted, "How long will it take if I continue to work?"

Poruman pushed his glasses on his nose again and said hesitantly, "This..."

"for how long?"

Sebastian said sternly: "Comrade Poruman, my health problem is related to the life and death of the revolution. If you conceal anything about this matter, you are against the revolution and the party!"

Dr. Boruman was shocked and said quickly: "It may only take three months!"

He judged in his mind that it was less than a month, but he couldn't say that, so he said it was three months.

After hearing this, Chairman Sebastian's face turned gloomy. He narrowed his eyes and said to Dr. Poruman, "This is a state secret. Don't let it leak out!"

"I know, I know! Comrade Chairman, please rest assured that I will never reveal a single word!"

Chapter 955 Change

Chairman Sebastian soon reappeared in the public eye, but the shadow had already formed and was constantly expanding. Many people noticed the chairman's health. Every time he appeared in public, the makeup artist would carefully arrange his makeup for him, but if you look closely, you can still see that Sebastian's complexion is not good and his face is full of fatigue.

Beneath the blazing revolutionary enthusiasm of the trade unions, undercurrents were surging and many people began to take action.

Chairman Sebastian was aware of these developments, but he had no time to deal with them. He had to complete the liberation of all mankind while he was still alive... Well, this was no longer possible, so he had to deal with Germany first while there was still time!

Germany's industrial strength is very strong. If Germany can be swallowed up, the advantage of the trade union will become even greater.

As Chairman Sebastian's finger slid across the map, the Red Army organized an unprecedented powerful offensive. Germany had just surrendered to the People's Revolutionary League, and the mobilization and replenishment of the army was somewhat chaotic, and the morale of the front-line troops declined. After a week of fierce fighting, the Stuttgart salient was finally removed by the Red Army.

The fall of Stuttgart attracted the attention of the Allied European Military Command and changed some things. According to the intention of the Allied Central Committee, it was to learn from Germany's treatment of France and "turn Germany into dust and never become a great power again."

However, the Workers' Syndicalist Red Army was aggressive and ignored the People's Revolutionary League's request to stop the war. Instead, it increased the intensity of the attack, which forced the People's Revolutionary League to adjust its original plan.

First, the People's Revolutionary League stopped supplying food and various supplies to the Anglo-French alliance; secondly, the Allied European Military District Command recruited a large number of former German generals, including Manstein and Guderian, and supplemented the German army with many tanks and aircraft. It did not seek to drive away the Workers' Syndicalist Red Army, but to stop it.

Finally, the Central Committee of the People's Revolutionary League extended an invitation to the trade unions, asking them to send military attachés to view the world's most powerful weapon developed by the alliance, another bomb made using nuclear energy - the hydrogen bomb.

After Trotsky was assassinated, the information he carried with him was sent back to London. In order to win the war, the trade unions and the Axis actively researched new weapons. Although the new weapons did not have a decisive effect, they could definitely gain more advantages.

The Axis countries were researching atomic bombs, and so were the Syndicalists. After the information was sent to London, it was quickly studied by experts, but not much useful information was obtained.

Publicly published materials clearly give methods for utilizing nuclear energy, either fission or fusion, both of which convert lost mass into energy and release it.

There was nothing eye-catching in Einstein's manuscripts, and it did not help the progress of the industrial group's nuclear bomb research. After the experts studied it, the most useful conclusion they came to was that "the [People's Revolutionary League] has gone further on the road of using nuclear energy to make weapons."

Now that they had received the invitation from the People's Revolutionary League, the Workers' Syndicate immediately thought of the nuclear bomb. Apart from the atomic bomb, there was probably no other weapon that could "make the final decision".

London and Paris have held urgent discussions

Later, the Industrial Syndicate accepted the invitation of the People's Revolutionary League and sent a team to the Alliance, including nuclear physicists, generals and weapons experts. The Industrial Syndicate needed to make a correct assessment of the new weapons of the People's Revolutionary League so that the Industrial Syndicate could make the most accurate response.

In order to obtain more detailed data, they also brought a lot of instruments, but the People's Revolutionary League did not mind this.

While sending out the troops, the Syndicate accelerated the pace of the offensive on the European battlefield. If the new bomb really has the power calculated, it will undoubtedly change the pattern of war to a certain extent. If the [People's Revolutionary League] creates a new bomb and the Syndicate does not master it, then the war may come to an abrupt end, and the division of power between the Syndicate and the [People's Revolutionary League] will be based on the actual control line.

If you occupy one more city now, you will have more territory, more resources, and more strategic depth in the future.

In addition, the problem of lack of oil resources has always troubled the syndicalist camp. The syndicalist's industrial strength is very strong, and the number of tanks and aircraft is no less than that of the People's Revolutionary League, which requires a lot of oil, but the syndicalist's oil has always been insufficient.

The British have discovered that there are a lot of oil and natural gas in the North Sea, but it is very difficult to extract. The main sources of oil for the Syndicate are America and Africa, as well as the purchase of refined oil from the People's Revolutionary League.

Now that the trade unions and the People's Revolutionary League have started fighting, there is naturally no way for them to obtain fuel from the People's Revolutionary League. The trade unions must open up the situation in a short period of time, and it would be best if they could go all the way to Berlin and cut off the claws of the People's Revolutionary League that are reaching into Western Europe.

For these reasons, the Red Army of the Workers' Syndicalists accelerated the pace of the offensive and launched a fierce attack on the reinforced German army. Thousands of shells fell into German cities, blowing the defenders and residents into pieces.

Because of the surrender, the morale of the German army had dropped a lot, but when the reason for the war changed from "fighting for hegemony" to "defending the country", the morale of the German army rose again, and they repelled the attacks of the Workers' Syndicalist Red Army in many areas.

After receiving a steady stream of weapons and equipment and various supplies, the German army's combat effectiveness was fully exerted, and the casualties of the Red Army of the Workers' Syndicalists rose sharply. Of course, the German army also suffered heavy casualties. The war took place in Germany. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the war destroyed a large number of towns and factories and caused a large number of civilian casualties, just like the war that took place in France thirty years ago.

Chairman Sebastian stays in the office every day, paying attention to every change on the front line. When he is hungry, he eats in the office, and when he is sleepy, he rests on the bed next door.

He felt that he didn't have much time left, so he ignored the doctor's advice and worked even harder. When his colleagues around him advised him to rest more, he was scolded instead.

"Why do I need to rest so much when I'm alive? When I die, I'll have time to rest!"

The redoubled efforts made the Red Army of the Workers' Syndicalists make some progress on the battlefield, but Sebastian's physical condition became worse and worse. He often couldn't sleep all night, and often felt sleepy during the day. The pain in his body became more and more severe. He had to inject pethidine every day, and sometimes took some "ice" to barely support himself.

On December 12, Sebastian received a telegram from the Kaocha Group. After reading the telegram, his face quickly turned pale, his throat made a hoarse sound, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then his body collapsed to the ground.

There was panic all around. "Doctor! Doctor! Comrade Chairman has fainted again!"

Chapter 956: Panting

The industrial group thought that the Human Revolutionary League wanted to show off an atomic bomb and use its power to scare the industrial group. But the Human Revolutionary League showed off a hydrogen bomb, which is much more powerful.

The preset equivalent of a hydrogen bomb of the People's Revolutionary League was 380 million tons. Based on the actual explosion effect, experts determined that the explosion equivalent should be 450 million tons of TNT. The power of 450 million tons of TNT was simultaneously released, as if a second sun appeared in the sky.

After the explosion of the Alliance's first hydrogen bomb, its terrifying power destroyed everything within a radius of 10 kilometers. The casualty rate and building destruction rate within this range were greater than 90%; the effective killing area (radius) was approximately 450 square kilometers (excluding terrain, non-air explosion), and the affected area could be expanded three times.

Of course, there is still a certain degree of lethality outside the affected area. In practice, nuclear warheads are often air-blasted, which greatly expands the killing area (but the destructive power is not as strong as ground explosion).

After seeing the power of the hydrogen bomb, the members of the test group sent by the union were all shocked and their faces changed drastically. The alliance has two ways to drop hydrogen bombs: heavy bombers and missiles. As long as such a bomb falls on Paris or London... When everyone thought of such a situation, their hands and feet trembled and they had difficulty breathing.

After the leader of the inspection team repeatedly checked the equipment, he asked to drive to the explosion center to check. Wang Changhao advised them to wait a few more days, as it might be dangerous to go there now. Hydrogen bombs are called clean bombs, unlike atomic bombs, which leave long-lasting nuclear radiation pollution after the explosion. However, it is hard to say whether there will be any other dangers, such as triggering earthquakes, so it is better to go there after two days.

The members of the expedition were not worried about their own safety, but only wanted to get to the explosion center as soon as possible to collect more information. That night, the expedition used the telegraph they carried to send a message to Paris.

A long telegram.

".......The power of the new coalition bomb far exceeded expectations. According to calculations, the new bomb is equivalent to 450 million tons of TNT exploding at the same time, enough to turn Berlin into ruins."

The head of the group, Coleman, originally wanted to say Paris, but changed it to Berlin. "According to testing and analysis, the new bomb detonated by the [People's Revolutionary League] should not use nuclear fission, but the more difficult nuclear fusion..."

A hydrogen bomb is a nuclear weapon that uses the energy of nuclear fusion to produce a huge explosion. Compared with an atomic bomb that uses nuclear fission, the conditions for producing nuclear fusion are more stringent and require a nuclear fission explosion to trigger, so the atomic bomb is the prerequisite for the invention of the hydrogen bomb.

The alliance did not reveal that it was a nuclear fusion explosion, but there was a nuclear physics expert in the expedition team who quickly guessed this and reported it to Paris.

When Sebastian saw the news, his face immediately turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Some people said that he was frightened by the alliance's atomic weapons, but that was not entirely true. Chairman Sebastian's health was already very poor, and the telegram was just the last straw.

After Youyou woke up, Sebastian gave an order in a depressed mood, "Let the troops on the front line stop the attack... I know what I am talking about, let's stop the war first, and wait until we build our own nuclear weapons, and then deal with them... with them."

After the new order from the labor union leader was issued, the Red Army soldiers on the front line stopped their offensive and built fortifications on the spot. The concentrated armored groups and huge artillery groups were dispersed. The generals on the front line were told that the [People's Revolutionary League] had created a powerful bomb, but there was no need to worry too much, as long as the distance between the two forces remained 20 miles, they would not be killed together.

Nuclear weapons are difficult to manufacture, very expensive, and troublesome to use. It's not certain that the People's Revolutionary League would use nuclear bombs to blow up a few infantry battalions, right?

If the Alliance really had that many nuclear bombs, the Syndicate would have no other options. In the face of an unstoppable force, no matter what kind of ideology it is, it will be useless.

In this world, matter comes first, and consciousness depends on matter, not the other way around. Although the syndicalists are the most left-wing ideology, they also recognize this.

The war on the European continent suddenly stopped. The Red Army of the Workers' Syndicalists were busy reinforcing their positions, and so were the Germans. The Workers' Syndicalists were concerned about the nuclear weapons of the Alliance, while the Germans were reorganizing and replenishing their troops and weapons and equipment.

Manstein, Guderian and others wanted to take the initiative to launch an offensive to recapture the German land occupied by the syndicates, but the Allied European Military Command did not agree to the offensive and only ordered them to defend.

At the same time, the Alliance is still integrating Germany's resources. It is already winter, and in order to prevent tens of millions of Germans from freezing to death or starving to death, the Alliance needs to transport a large amount of food and fuel. In addition, the Germans are also short of warm clothes and medicines, as well as many other supplies.

Transport capacity is limited. If the offensive continues, most of the transport capacity will be used for military purposes, and there will be less for civilian use. With this reason, the German generals had no other opinions. They would not say that they would just let the civilians starve to death.

After the League took over Germany's political, economic and military affairs, it was inevitable to purge the original ruling class. It didn't necessarily mean killing them all, nor did it necessarily mean exiling them, but it was inevitable that they would be pulled down from their high positions.

Of course, killing is inevitable. Being gentle all the time will only make people look down on you. Killing indiscriminately is also not advisable. The best method is to use both soft and hard methods.

A few days later, the video footage of the new bomb explosion was transported back to Paris by plane. In a dark room, Sebastian and the leaders of the syndicate watched the scene of the new bomb explosion.

When they saw the mushroom cloud rising, everyone in the room held their breath. After watching the video, the guard turned on the lights, and Sebastian asked someone to distribute the information to others.

"You all have seen the power of nuclear weapons... cough cough..." Sebastian coughed for a while and said with difficulty: "So, we have to negotiate... to buy time..."

Several years of war had exhausted Germany, and the Syndicalists as well. Britain was better off because it had the sea as a barrier, but there were more people dying of starvation and freezing, unlike the French Commune, where a large number of civilians died in air raids.

Even so, the food rations of the British were reduced again and again, to the point where people could barely survive starvation. The British Isles were in the midst of starvation, and most people were starving to the point of being emaciated.

People in later generations worry about being overweight every day and try every possible way to lose weight. In fact, as long as you eat less, you will lose weight quickly regardless of your physique. "Drinking water will also make you fat" is not true.

Sebastian ordered a halt to the war, and the people of the syndicate could breathe a sigh of relief.

Chapter 957: New Outlook

The war in Europe finally came to a halt, and there was no more roar of artillery in western Germany, the Alps, Morocco, etc. But the situation remained tense, with the millions of troops of the Workers' Syndicate and the People's Revolutionary League confronting each other in Germany. Both sides were stepping up the construction of fortifications, replenishing troops, and stockpiling supplies, and it seemed that they still wanted to continue the fight.

And North America really has a ceasefire.

The American Community, the Confederate States of America, and the Pacific States of America held a tripartite meeting, divided the territory, and ceased fighting.

They simply couldn't fight any more. The American Civil War was extremely brutal, and during the long war, all sides experienced a sharp decline in population. Many of the people who disappeared died in the war, while others lost their lives due to hunger, cold, and disease. The number of Americans who died from hunger, cold, and disease was almost the same as the number of Americans who died in the war, or even more.

Some people tried to escape. The United States is a country of immigrants, and there have always been conflicts among ethnic groups, religions, and cultures. When the war broke out, everyone who could escape fled.

The essence of a country is an imagined community. The Second Civil War shattered the consensus of this country. The American Commune in the North and the Confederate States of America in the South were irreconcilable and sworn enemies. The Pacific Nations also could not reach an agreement with the other two countries. Originally, they were willing to risk the lives of a generation to unify the United States.

However, this possibility no longer exists. The People's Revolutionary League has a clear attitude towards North America, winning over the weaker party and suppressing the stronger party. Whether it is the American Commune or the Confederate States of America, it makes no difference to the People's Revolutionary League. The only requirement of the League is that North America must remain divided. Three pieces are not enough. It is best to split into seven or eight pieces, cutting the United States into pieces, so that it will not be able to participate in the world situation.

The situation is pretty good now. North America was divided into three parts, and Alaska and parts of other areas were annexed by the Canadian government. The country on the top of the mountain fell into the abyss, and "Manifest Destiny" was overturned to the ground.

The three North American countries were severely damaged by the war. Even if the war stopped, they would still maintain a large number of standing troops on the border. It is impossible for this country to become the world hegemon.

The [Human Innovation Alliance] forced the trade union to accept a ceasefire, and took control of most of the world's important shipping lanes and many resource producing areas, and has in fact become the new world hegemon.

The People's Revolutionary League swallowed up most of the Axis powers, leaving only some soup for the trade unions, and became the biggest winner.

Since the collapse of the British Empire, the world has entered an era of the rise of many heroes. Nearly twenty years later, the era of the rise of many heroes and the expansion of destiny has ended, and a new world hegemon has appeared on the earth.

The negotiations between the labor union and the People's Revolutionary League were still going on. At this time, Chairman Sebastian died of illness. The labor union lowered the flag for the chairman and mourned for three days. Afterwards, the labor union ended the tug-of-war at the negotiation table and was no longer as aggressive as before. Xun Express and the alliance reached a consensus.

The two sides used the existing control line as the dividing line, and each controlled a part of German territory. In places where the two sides intersected, they exchanged land and leveled the dividing line. This division method was most beneficial to the [People's Revolutionary League], and the trade unions also ate up the conquered land, and only Germany was hurt.

In order to level the national border, East Prussia became the territory of the alliance, one third of the territory was given to the French Commune, and the rest of the territory was still under the military jurisdiction of the People's Revolutionary League.

Moreover, Germany was at the forefront of the fight against the trade unions. If the war broke out again in the future, Germany would surely be bombed into ruins. In view of this, the capitalists and factory owners in Germany were planning to flee.

If we stay in Germany, we might be subjected to intensive bombing again one day. It is better to move the factory to a safer place.

Not everyone was ready to flee, but many did, causing real damage to Germany. The Alliance also forced land reform in Germany and replaced the mark with the RMB. Germany was not incorporated into the Human Innovation Alliance, but only in name.

No matter from which perspective, Germany suffered the greatest losses.

Among the countries in the former Axis camp, Italy gained a lot of tangible benefits because of its straightforward defection. It was considered to be the best. The Alliance expanded the naval base and airport in Italy, transferred a lot of technology to Italy, and intended to make Italy an important part of the blockade of the industry.

Soon, the time entered 1942. The situation was still tense, but there was no fighting. The People's Revolutionary League and the trade unions carried out large-scale demobilization, and some civilian factories stopped producing military supplies and returned to their old business.

The trade unions have always been short of consumer goods. After entering the wartime system, civilian consumer goods were suppressed to the point where they could no longer be suppressed. The people were in urgent need of various commodities, but due to ideology and various other reasons, the new leaders of the trade unions refused to import large quantities of civilian consumer goods from the alliance, which led to the prosperity of the smuggling industry.

There were always some capable people who could travel back and forth across the border that was covered with barbed wire, razor wire and fortresses, and pull cartloads of goods into France for sale.

After Sebastian's death, the syndicate elected a new leader, but the new leader's position was not stable enough. He needed to spend time and energy to deal with the relationship between the factions, and had no time to deal with the smuggling on the border. Those who could participate in the smuggling were powerful people on the syndicate side, and some were even commanders and soldiers on the front line.

These officers and soldiers who were closest to the revisionists saw how wealthy the revisionists were. Canned food and soda, which were considered luxuries in the trade unions, were now

On the other hand, they are just ordinary consumer goods.

At first, the Red Army soldiers of the Workers' Syndicalists exchanged spoils of war for food with the Germans, which was a spontaneous act of the soldiers. Then, the commanders and generals on the front line discovered business opportunities and participated in it, either actively or passively, exchanging spoils of war for food, cigarettes, spirits, perfumes, soaps and other supplies.

Of course, this kind of business involves certain risks. If you are unlucky, you will be caught by the supervisory department. Not only will all your goods be confiscated, but you will also be thrown into jail.

Not everyone will be corrupted by the revisionists' sugar-coated bullets. There are still some people who can stick to their ideals. Although they are rare, there are still such people.

However, as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer such people.

Later, more people got involved in smuggling activities, and no one came to catch smugglers anymore. Sometimes, before the raiders set out, the smugglers had already received the information.

The discipline of the Red Army cannot be said to have been completely destroyed. Smuggling is smuggling, but as long as the order to attack is issued, they will still kill the Germans on the opposite side without hesitation. The former fascist bandits and now the running dogs of the revisionists. It's just that morale may not be as strong as before, and the combat effectiveness is not as strong as before.

Chapter 958 Nuclear Fusion

The morale of the Red Army of the Workers' Syndicalists declined, but this did not cause any adverse effects. In the next three years, there was no major war between the Workers' Syndicalists and the People's Revolutionary League, and the British and French alliance showed restraint before the atomic bomb was created.

The power of nuclear weapons is unprecedented. If one of them falls on Paris or the defense line, it can cause huge casualties. Before mastering this terrible weapon, the trade union is unwilling to rashly go to war.

According to the tradition of trade unions, after a new leader is appointed, there will be fierce internal struggle. Sometimes this internal struggle is called a "line struggle" and sometimes not.

However, due to the aggressive momentum shown by the People's Revolutionary League and the threat of nuclear weapons, a new round of infighting did not break out among the leaders of the trade unions. The British and French alliance gathered their strength and consumed a large amount of electricity to store nuclear materials, hoping to build nuclear weapons as soon as possible.

Only if we also have nuclear bombs can we not be afraid of the nuclear blackmail of the [People's Revolutionary League]! Some generals of the alliance often talk about carrying out surgical strikes on the labor syndicates. The leaders of the labor syndicates say that the [People's Revolutionary League] is a paper tiger, but in fact they are still afraid of it.

In order to avoid being wiped out, the Syndicalist set up a second headquarters in London. Everything was ready. London was the second most important city in the Syndicalist camp. Now only some leaders and institutions were transferred there.

If Paris were reduced to ruins by a nuclear bomb, London would immediately take over the leadership of the group and command the Red Army of the Workers' Syndicalists to counterattack the enemy.

Paris and other cities and important areas in eastern France have launched a new round of "deep digging" activities. In order to resist possible nuclear bomb attacks, the Paris government has formulated an unprecedented plan to build air-raid shelters and refuges.

The door of the underground shelter will be opened about 7 meters underground. In order to prevent dust and radiation, the door will be fully enclosed, just like the seals on battleships and submarines, and it will be very thick.
