Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Devil Cries (19)
"Rest in peace, then, Franklin, and I will continue your unfinished business and make the invaders of the Far East pay the price they deserve. ”
Truman opened his eyes and stood up and walked to the window of the office, looking at the east with a deep gaze, Truman, who was originally quite pompous, seemed to be possessed by Wuhou Zhuge Liang at this moment, but Zhuge Liang was trapped in Shu all his life, and it was difficult to break through the upper limit of the national strength of Shu State, but Truman had the largest amount of national resources in the world, and the big cause seemed to be accomplished overnight.
But in the next second, several FBI agents pushed open the door of Truman's office.
There is surprise, and there is anger, but this kind of thing is all right, just explain the results, about ten minutes later, Truman learned that his vice president replacement of the acting president has been suspended, not only that, Truman's original position has also been temporarily suspended, everything needs to wait for the FBI and the Justice Department to complete the investigation of Oppenheimer's espionage case before resuming.
In the face of such a result, Truman was naturally difficult to accept, but Oppenheimer's confession was very detailed, from Oppenheimer's contact with the Proletarian International until he received Roosevelt's support, and finally gradually dominated the entire Manhattan Project, the time, place and people were not ambiguous at all, and it was a model version of the narrative, and Truman was helpless.
However, Truman is also the current vice president of the United States, and the Democratic Party behind him is also the ruling party, in the face of the current situation, as long as Truman does not admit that he has anything to do with Oppenheimer, how can the opposition parties tolerate him?
In fact, Mo said that Truman was only the vice president, he was the current president, and he would have a lot of headaches in the face of the current situation.
Different from the modern civil law system, due to the separation of powers, the judicial system of the United States implements very strict judicial procedures in many key functions, such as administrative, financial, and military, and there is no such thing as "who asserts who bears the evidence" and "who is guilty of no doubt".
On the contrary, in the key functional departments of the state, the principle that the people of the United States believe in is "there is a suspicion of guilt".
For example, if you are an official of the securities regulatory department, and someone reports that you have used your power to illegally enrich yourself in the financial market, once the judicial department accepts the report, then you will be responsible for providing evidence for yourself.
This is very, everyone knows that it is not difficult to prove a person's guilt in comparison, but it is difficult to prove a person's innocence, especially to find sufficient human and physical evidence to go to court, just like the proof question that allows you to prove that the two lines are not parallel.
Of course, it is impossible for the judicial department of the United States to accept this kind of "suspected crime" report very easily, in fact, even if you have some evidence, for the sake of administrative efficiency, the judicial department will not necessarily accept it.
But the problem is that it is now a time of war when everyone's nerves are very tense, and this time the whistleblower is Oppenheimer......
You may not be aware of Oppenheimer's authority in the world of physics during World War II.
Heisenberg in Europe and Oppenheimer in North America can be understood as the same golden signboard as North Qiao Feng and South Murong.
Isn't Einstein fragrant? Einstein at that time was not popular in the capitalist world because of his ideological problems such as opposing the war and agreeing with socialist ideals and supporting socialist ideas.
All in all, Oppenheimer's confession temporarily froze Truman's actions, and it may be that the Democratic Party is still in the initiative, but in Truman's absence, Roosevelt's grand plan is also stranded.
Politics is essentially a game of checks and balances played by a few elites and a majority rice bucket, and the heir to Roosevelt's grand plan is only Truman.
The Democratic Party is still in power during the Democratic Party, and after consultation between the two houses, Congress has decided that the Democratic Party will still be in power, but when it comes to resolution, the Republican Party must participate and have half of the voting rights.
......
A week after Oppenheimer's confession, Washington Hill on Capitol Hill, the headquarters of the Republican National Committee.
This is the first time Yu Zecheng has come here, compared with the rich consortium behind the Republican Party, the headquarters of the Republican Party is obviously a little shabby, just a four-story white building, but the surrounding greening and layout are very good, giving people the impression of being both simple and strictly prohibited, but it is very selfless for the national interest.
After entering the small building and coming to the conference room on the third floor, Yu Zecheng sat down in the VIP seat, he is a special guest participant in today's high-level meeting within the Republican Party, and the topic of discussion at this meeting is naturally the next step.
Well... By the way, the Republican Party's three-star elephant emblem is really fucking ugly, and the level of graffiti for kindergarten children.
"Let's get started, the secretary of the meeting has already handed over the agenda of the meeting to you before the meeting today, so for our next plan, let's first listen to the opinions of Mr. Yu Zecheng, the defender of the national interests of the United States. Dewey said.
Yu Zecheng was a little amused by the title of "defender of America" in Dewey's mouth, and if he helped the Republican Party, he was the defender? According to this logic, wouldn't Roosevelt and Truman become traitors? But this kind of thing doesn't matter, anyway, Dewey's status in the party rose rapidly after Oppenheimer's confession and he approached the party leader, so he can say whatever he likes.
"I'm sure you've read about the internal party recently, and although we are currently winning one city, the situation is not optimistic, the voice of the Democratic Party is still above us, and if we want to win the Democratic Party in the next election, we need to make more vocal achievements, or do something. "Yu Ze became enlightened.
"Herein lies the problem. Dewey said: "Because it is a time of war, Oppenheimer's espionage case should not be made public to the outside world for the time being, we must be sincere and united, this is the bottom line, I have to remind you first, Mr. Yu, no matter what your next plan is, we must not joke with national interests, you must know that there is an old Chinese saying that those who play with fire set themselves on fire." ”
"Of course, I know that. Yu Zecheng nodded, the middle of the 20th century is really worthy of the rise of the United States' national fortunes, although there are struggles between domestic politicians and parties, but in the final analysis, there is still a bottom line and conscience, which is worthy of affirmation, if it is replaced by the president of the mainland government, Yu Zecheng is sure that they will not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the country and the people and even their lives in order to get political enemies, this group of bastards is really not a pity to die.
"Since the most powerful weapon we have at the moment is not suitable for the public, we don't need to use Oppenheimer's brains. Yu Zecheng took a sip of coffee and said, "You might as well change your thinking, what other resources do we have related to Oppenheimer at present?"
“...... Mr. Yu couldn't be talking about an atomic bomb, right?" Dewey frowned.
Dewey, as a meat-eater politician, although his thinking is somewhat detached from the masses, he does not despise it at all, as long as you mention it a little, Dewey can understand the key point.
"I have to warn you, Mr. Yu, it's not that we don't trust you, but the strategic significance of the atomic bomb as the latest weapon that has not yet been evaluated for reliability is very important, and although we are in charge of the Manhattan Project after the Oppenheimer case, you better not use your brains on the atomic bomb. Dewey paused and said in a soft tone: "This is also the bottom line, please understand." ”
"Listen to me first, I'll just propose, and it's up to you to decide whether to adopt it or not, and how to do it. "Yu Ze became enlightened.
Dewey nodded and motioned for Yu Zecheng to continue.
"My proposal is to first conduct an atomic bomb explosion test in the western desert area, and if it succeeds, the next step is to negotiate with the island countries with the devastating deterrent effect of the atomic bomb, and demand that they surrender unconditionally and end the war as quickly as possible. "Yu Ze became enlightened.
"I can understand your idea, but why do you want to conduct experiments in China? Anyway, they are all experiments, isn't it better to throw them into island countries? Even if they fail, they won't waste it. Dewey said.
Yu Zecheng said: "This is the key, my plan is that the atomic bomb only exists as a deterrent, and does not use it, we can negotiate with the island countries to forge the illusion of the atomic bomb explosion, so that the island countries can win the sympathy of the international community with the image of the atomic bomb victims, retain the national strength of the island countries as a defeated country to the greatest extent, achieve peaceful liberation, and make the island countries our strategic fulcrum in the Far East in the future. ”
As soon as these words came out, the venue was in an uproar, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while, and everyone discussed the feasibility of Yu Zecheng's proposal.
“...... I kind of get what you mean. Dewey said slowly: "But the problem is that this is just your unilateral conjecture, how feasible is it? What if the island country wants to resist to the end? As far as I know, it is a bunch of crazy people." ”
"Naturally, I'm not going to convince you in a few words. Yu Zecheng leaned back in his chair and said: "There is still time, according to what I said, go to investigate and investigate, and you will naturally get evidence that can support my 'conjecture'." ”
