Imaginary wars and battles -- Fiction; Science fiction
April 1st, 1932, arrived and no attack had been made. The enemy was
evidently making gigantic preparations for an attack and Supreme
Commander Gordon decided to make the first move. He then sent
instructions to France to begin attacking England and Germany again.
France was well prepared with a large number of airplanes. The attack
started and they were successful. When this news reached the enemy
headquarters in the United States there was great consternation. They
thought that this was the secret behind the United States refusing to
accept peace terms, but felt that France could not hold out long alone.
Spain and Japan ordered their reserve planes from home to England and
Germany to help fight France. The "Tel-Talk" recorded that a large
fleet of planes had been sent across the Atlantic to attack France.
Supreme Commander Gordon ordered the French to go out and meet the
attack. A great battle raged over the Atlantic for hours with the
French winning. Thousands of the enemy planes went down into the ocean.
The Spanish and Japanese withdrew. This stopped Germany and England
from striking back at France. The news reached the enemy headquarters
in the United States and they figured that in some way the United
States had a large number of planes out guarding the Atlantic and
realized that the time had come to strike at the Eastern Coast of the
United States before France and the United States could do more damage
on the other side.
In June, 1932, the enemy decided to make the attack on the Eastern
part of the United States. Supreme Commander Gordon had time to make
ample preparations to meet it. He had established Colonel Kennelworth
in Boston with one of the sleeping-gas machines and he remained in New
York in the Mammouth Building, with a "Demon of Death," awaiting the
attack upon New York.
BATTLE OF BOSTON
On June 6th, the enemy attacked Boston. The planes came in large
numbers from every side, some from across the water, some from the
North and West. Colonel Kennelworth let them approach within a
reasonable distance and then turned loose the sleeping gas among all
the enemy planes. The aviators immediately went to sleep and the planes
all dropped slowly to the earth and some landed on the water and were
not damaged. Hundreds after hundreds of planes followed up, each one
sharing the same fate. Of all the planes sent out by the enemy, not one
returned. Colonel Kennelworth reported to Supreme Commander Gordon that
Boston was safe,--that there had not been the loss of one life and not
a bomb had been dropped upon the city.
