Chapter 81: The Ghost Crying of the Earth (21)
Before Roosevelt's death, the Democratic administration raised several issues regarding the handling of the atomic bomb, the latest weapon, and most people in the decision-making level of the US government are now inclined to use the atomic bomb.
In the face of such a mad dog-like enemy, the US military from officers to soldiers will inevitably ask such a question, fighting outside the territory of the country is crazy, and on the day of landing on the mainland of the island country, how much will we pay?
This is a very interesting phenomenon, in World War II, the armies of various countries have the so-called "attribute restraint", simply put, the US military is more afraid of the island country's 10,000 broken charge, the German army's rigorous and rapid tactics can suppress the Union, and the Soviet Red Army in the frontal battlefield and the island country, the German army is only frightened of the US military's wealth.
All in all, if the island nation can be surrendered immediately with powerful new weapons, it will be in the best interest of the United States.
As mentioned earlier, in 1945, the island nation was already standing on the edge of a cliff, but the die-hard faction in the military department resolutely refused to surrender, and they formulated a plan of "100 million jade pieces" without a single crop, and claimed that even if the dead race was wiped out, they would fight to the last man.
This plan, of course, was a sham used to intimidate the Allies, and although it was false, it was outrageous. You say that if you defend your home and defend the country against aggression, such a righteous and awe-inspiring will to fight is indeed very admirable, why is the war of aggression so tragic? Bushido is such a cowhide?
A cowhide basket, this is completely the will to survive, is there any, if you surrender unconditionally, the upper echelons of the military department of the island country are basically all war criminals after the war, and they will either be hanged or squatted in prison for the rest of their lives, and don't think that squatting in a big prison can save a life, the hatred of the domestic people asks what do you say?
Overdraft the national strength to borrow money for the future of the country, if the country is finally finished, it is better to say, otherwise once the war is over, even if the foreigners spare you, wait until the people at home react, it is still light to crush your bones and scatter ashes, you don't see that after World War II, many officers of island countries finally died in the streets after being released from prison in the war criminal camp.
Carrying it to the end may also scare the Allies, and finally achieve conditional surrender, and if you surrender unconditionally, there will be absolutely no place to die. This account is not difficult to calculate, it is just to kill many ordinary people in vain, which is a trivial matter.
This selfish desire eventually led to the atomic bomb apocalypse.
If this situation continues, then the development of the script will be in line with history, and the island will surrender unconditionally, but this is not the result that Yu Zecheng wants.
Yu Zecheng's task has never been to "defeat the island nation", but to "exterminate the island country".
What does it mean to be extinct?
It's a difficult question to answer, and in short, it's definitely not a defeat.
......
After many days of heated discussions, the Republican Party finally gained the upper hand, and the United States finally decided to adopt the plan of the Republican Party, that is, Yu Zecheng, that is, to conduct a nuclear test at home first, declare the power of the atomic bomb to the world, and then privately negotiate secretly with the island countries, and to immigrate to the United States and leniency for high-level war criminals who want to save their lives on the island countries, and then fully land and take over the island countries, making them a springboard for the United States in the Far East.
To be sure, Yu Zecheng's proposal is better than Roosevelt and Truman's previous idea of using the atomic bomb and then submitting the island nation by force, both in terms of the efficiency of conquest and the aftermath of the war.
In the final analysis, war is a continuation of politics, and if the best results can be achieved without bloodshed, then it is the best choice, and the United States does not care whether the high-level war criminals of the island countries will die or not, and politics is always about interests, not about the life or death of one or two individuals.
Of course, Roosevelt and Truman's plan was only slightly inferior to Yu Zecheng's, after all, the use of the atomic bomb could liquidate some of the hatred generated in the war.
Since the difference between the two is not much, why should the Republican Party support Yu Zecheng's proposal so strongly?
The reason is very simple, because the use of the atomic bomb is a long-term proposition of the Democratic Party, and if it can use a proposition different from that of the Democratic Party without harming the interests of the country to obtain similar or even better results, the Republican Party will naturally spare no effort, because in this way, the results will become the "original" political achievements of the Republican Party, not to mention that Yu Zecheng's full-score plan is originally better than Roosevelt's 90-point plan, so the Republican Party must raise this bar.
......
In July 1945, in New Mexico, USA, the first atomic bomb in human history was successfully detonated, and its power made the world look sideways, and since then, mankind has entered the nuclear age.
Subsequently, the negotiating delegation, mainly composed of Republican members, successfully reached an agreement with the top leaders of the island country to ensure the personal and property safety of some high-ranking military officials of the island country and immigrate to Canada, and that they will never be prosecuted for their war crimes. In return, these high-level officials, who currently have the core resources and secrets of the island nation, will fully supply all the resources of the island country, including its territory and territorial waters, and allow the US fleet to take the lead in landing on the island country's mainland without informing the Allied Nation group, and then announce its unconditional surrender to the international community after the US military has made defensive arrangements, so as to surrender to the allies on the surface, but in fact to surrender to the United States.
Of course, the conscience of the high-level of the island country is not completely eaten by dogs, in order to make this drama real and at the same time create their own "atomic bomb" The international image of the victim country as a sympathetic one, the high-level officials of the island countries and the negotiating delegation discussed that on August 6, 1945, the US military would drop a powerful ordinary bomb on Hiroshima, and then the United States would declare to the international community that it had launched a nuclear strike against the island country, and the island country would then admit that since the United States had successfully conducted a nuclear explosion test in advance, and its nuclear strike capability had been recognized by the international community, the probability of this pseudo-nuclear bomb getting away with it would be very high.
The US negotiating delegation has no objection to the proposal of the island countries, which will not only pave the way for the island countries to unilaterally surrender to themselves in the future, but also deter potential threats such as the United Nations.
......
All of this is progressing step by step, because realistic rebirth scripts have historical inertia, so the time of some major events, such as the date of the pseudo-nuclear bomb drop, etc., will move closer to the official history, Yu Zecheng can also determine the general time of these actions without bothering to lay out, in fact, these dates basically coincide with the official history, and what Yu Zecheng has to do is only to affect history on a macro level.
When the high-level leaders of the island country and the Republican negotiating delegation were almost completed, Yu Zecheng's deputy policy began to take effect.
