Chapter Seventy-Five: The Devil Cries (15)

Although Yu Zecheng taught Oppenheimer many coping strategies in advance, it is difficult to ensure that Oppenheimer can clear his suspicions, which does not mean that Yu Zecheng is not sophisticated enough in dealing with censorship, but that censorship from public power is itself a terrible means to subvert the law of cause and effect.

Different from ordinary judicial procedures, the review from the public power is procedurally speaking, it is to first determine the conclusion that there must be something wrong with the subject of the review, and then find out the evidence that can support this conclusion, if the evidence is conclusive, it is naturally best, if the evidence is insufficient, then it will be delayed until the time deemed appropriate by the superior, and it will never stop unless the subject of the review dies.

This is still the best situation, if the situation is poor, then in addition to the review target, there will be a lot of outsiders will be injured by the public power, because the review from the public power will basically have the problem of overkill, which is easy to understand, after all, the public power is like a huge aircraft carrier, either do not sail, once the navigation target is determined, it is absolutely impossible to turn or rely on micro-manipulation to avoid accidentally injuring the fishing boat.

Therefore, whether it is officialdom, business or the road, everyone has the unspoken rule that they will not use the means of public power to eradicate dissidents unless they have to, because if they really reach that step, it will cause a wide range of accidental injuries even across industries, and the cost is too great and the final consequences cannot be predicted.

Oppenheimer closed his eyes and recuperated, all that was all about the meaningful smile on the examiner's face as he left.

Oppenheimer was finally overcome by the review team, which was originally within Yu Zecheng's calculations, so there was a third strategy to deal with it, but Oppenheimer himself was unwilling to accept this result, and he wanted to struggle again in the end, so he used his trump card, that is, he turned to Brigadier General Groves, saying that he didn't want to do it on the surface, but in fact he asked Groves for help.

Brigadier General Groves was naturally subordinate to the Ministry of Defense (then called the Ministry of War), and the military and government of the United States were each family, so they naturally cooperated fully in wartime, but what if it was a non-war time?

The army in peacetime still needs a huge amount of military spending, and the army itself cannot become a profit-making organization, it stands to reason that these military expenditures should be allocated by the government, specifically the ruling party, then, in order to win more appropriations for their own people in peacetime and related policy inclination, so it will certainly have a good relationship with the ruling party of each government, if there is a gap between the two, military spending will be reduced to a level that is only enough for basic expenses such as daily maintenance, and it is difficult for orders for new weapons to efficiently pass through the civilian approval system。

Regardless of military and political affairs, those in high positions, in addition to doing their own work, will naturally think about their own welfare, this is human nature, the country is quite open, otherwise why are many presidents after the resignation of various financial investments or as chaebol advisers to the daily progress of the money?

To get back to the point, the Manhattan Project was a huge investment, and the military naturally wanted to make appropriate profits from it, so it naturally needed to maintain close relations with the then ruling Democratic Party, so as to facilitate the exchange of interests and policy support. Brigadier General Groves became a link between the military and the Democratic Party, and he was the deputy secretary of construction before he was in charge of the Manhattan Project, and he did a very good job in this area as a civilian, and under his leadership, the military and the Democratic Party were very satisfied.

If Oppenheimer is finished for political reasons, not only will the Democratic administration be resigned due to tremendous pressure from public opinion, but the chain of interests that the military has managed to build will have to be reshuffled. In fact, this kind of result is not unacceptable to the entire military system, but it will take time to reshuffle the cards, and when the new chain of interests is built, the old things of the current military top brass may not be able to enjoy it, which is unacceptable to these vested interests.

Therefore, the military and the top level of the Democratic administration, represented by Brigadier General Groves, must do their best to keep Oppenheimer, at the very least, until the Manhattan Project is successfully completed.

In the absence of certainty as Oppenheimer is black or white, it is risky to temporarily suspend Oppenheimer's censorship, and although this risk is very small in the case of restrictions on Oppenheimer's personal freedom, it does exist after all, and are the Democratic administration and military really willing to take this risk? Are there no such people with no selfish desires in the top echelons of both sides?

Of course, there is, the top level of the United States, which is on the rise of the country's national fortunes, is naturally not hopeless to the point of treating the national interests as bullshit and only caring about their own wealth like the mainland presidential government, but politics is a game of mud played by a few elites and most bastards, and the elites want to realize their ambitions and ideals, compromise is necessary, and forbearance is also necessary, so although efficiency will be sacrificed, history, always moving forward in twists and turns, isn't it?

After receiving Oppenheimer's distress message, Groves immediately contacted the military leadership, and after the military contacted the Democratic Party, President Roosevelt came out to put pressure on Dewey, demanding that all censorship of Oppenheimer be temporarily stopped, and only the most basic surveillance should be carried out, and everything would have to wait until the Manhattan Project was completed. The Democrats' reasoning for this was that an evaluation unit of the Department of Defense had analyzed that the completion of the Manhattan Project would have to be delayed for at least a year without Oppenheimer.

Dewey also accepted Roosevelt's request.

First of all, he led the team to review the Los Alamos Lab was originally the result of the Republican and Democratic Party's game of peace and mud, and he did not need to force people too much and even eventually affect the process of the Manhattan Project, after all, although the situation is good now, it is still a time of war, and there can be contradictions between parties, but uniting to resist the enemy is still the first political correctness.

Second, no matter who comes to power between the Democrats and the Republicans in the next general election, the military will be an immovable organization, and if the military is provoked too quickly, it will not be easy for the Republican Party to take office in the future, and it will not be easy for the military to cooperate again and make a fortune together, right?

It's all because of the inflated selfish desires of the majority of bastard meat eaters, every second of every day they delay in the rear, there will be the bleeding of ordinary soldiers on the European and Pacific fronts, and every penny that flows into their pockets through abnormal channels will ultimately be paid for by ordinary citizens.

......

The year came 1945. Under the strict supervision of the investigation team led by Dewey, Oppenheimer naturally has no possibility of leaking secrets to the outside world, and the Manhattan Project is being completed step by step, if there is no accident, the time of the birth of the atomic bomb in this script will be no different from the official history.

Of course, the above is just Yu Zecheng's conjecture, although he has been monitored in the Los Alamos laboratory, it is not difficult for Yu Zecheng to know the general process of the Manhattan Project through some daily observations, such as the emotions of some staff members.

Subsequently, Chiyo brought Yu Zecheng a more accurate information, the Manhattan Project has basically ended, the thin man has been assembled among the three atomic bombs, and the fat man and the little boy are doing the final finishing checks and painting work.

To explain a little here, Xiao Chiyo and Yu Zecheng can communicate at the consciousness level through Yu Zecheng's ability to "conserve quality and will", but because Xiao Chiyo has not carried out any physical strengthening, maintaining contact with Yu Zecheng at the consciousness level for a long time will cause a load on Xiao Chiyo's spirit, so it is impossible for the two to contact at the consciousness level all day long like chatting on WeChat, and will only use this method when transmitting some more important information.

The exact source of information for Chiyo is naturally Professor Taylor, he has always liked Chiyo very much, and they have worked together for a long time, Taylor will naturally let down his guard against Chiyo and reveal some relevant information to her, anyway, the Manhattan Project is about to be successfully completed, and this kind of thing is not a big secret.

After receiving information from Chiyo, Yu Zecheng began to act, and like last time, he and Chiyo had to act separately.
