964. The End of History
Without much thought, Washington acceded to Zhang's request.
On the one hand, this is because radar technology has developed in all countries in the world, and if the United States does not give it to the expeditionary force, it can still obtain it from other countries, and the United States will certainly not push the expeditionary force to other countries.
On the other hand, it was the United States at this time that was a little cocked...... With the atomic bomb in hand, the world is the only one.
It should be said that the 20 th century was the proudest century for the United States, which jumped from a weak country that could only learn from Britain in science and technology and industry and was called a copycat country to an industrial power, especially in the 90s, after the United States fooled the Soviet Union into disintegration, the pride and self-confidence of the Americans reached its peak...... At that time, the United States even produced a kind of "historical end".
The so-called "final conclusion of history" is that although the world will still develop, because the capitalist United States has completely defeated the communist Soviet Union, this proves that the capitalist road is correct, the American values are the truth, and the whole world should follow the American path, and from now on history will no longer change, and the universal values of the United States are the end of history......
This "final conclusion of history" was quickly slapped in the face, and the Americans never thought that the Soviet Union would fall and another China would rise, especially since China had become the strongest competitor of the United States in just a few decades, and what was even more painful was that the United States was still declining when China was booming.
This is not to say that China has surpassed the United States, in fact, China still lags far behind the United States in many aspects, such as military and scientific and technological aspects.
But here's the problem......
This is enough to prove that the so-called "end of history" is wrong, and that it is still possible to develop and become strong if it does not follow the American line, and there are even many examples that prove that the use of the American system will plunge a country into internal strife and civil strife.
This was a theoretical and psychological victory, which confused, doubted, and lost confidence in the United States and Americans, who were already very confident...... That's what really kills.
At this time, the United States was very confident in itself, so it was not worried about what would happen to the expedition with radar technology.
But the United States is obviously wrong about this, and the "aircraft missile" technology is combined with radar technology...... Only then will it form the most powerful weapon "missile" in modern times.
Of course, the United States at this time did not realize this.
On the other hand, Umezu Mijiro also received leaflets about "super bombs" dropped by U.S. bombers.
"'Super Bomb'?!" Umezu Mijiro was dismissive of this: "Is there really a 'super bomb' in this world?" ”
"It is said that just one such 'super bomb' can blow up a city!" The staff officer said.
"That's just a trick of the American devil!" Umezu Mijiro smiled: "Especially at this time, they can't effectively prevent us from shifting our strategic focus to China, so they can only use this method to make us submit!" ”
As he spoke, Umezu Mijiro raised the flyer in his hand and said, "With these few pieces of paper, you want us to give in...... The American ghost beast underestimated the determination of the empire to resist! ”
Saying that, Umezu Mijiro tore the leaflet to shreds in a few clicks, and said: "The order goes down, anyone who picks up the leaflet must upload and destroy it, and these things can't be allowed to cause unnecessary panic!" ”
"Yes!" The staff officer responded.
However, the staff officer was still in his heart, believing that these American leaflets were not entirely aimed at scaring Japan...... With American technology, it is not impossible to produce a "super bomb".
What if the American ghost beast really has a "super bomb"?
The staff officers could not imagine what would await Japan in the future.
Zhang Chi, on his side, after knowing that the United States was preparing to use the atomic bomb, ordered that all "aircraft missiles" be used to blockade the strait...... Anyway, if you can block one one, one more may be a scourge in China.
Braun and others did not understand this, because for the strategic intention of blockade, the taboo is to wipe out all the stocks, because if the stocks are still there, from time to time a "plane missile" can also cause a threat to the Japanese army. But if there is a situation of "running out of food" after the drying, the Japanese army will have no scruples.
However, Braun and the others did not say anything, and resolutely carried out Zhang Chi's order, so the "plane missiles" flew towards the Korean Strait one after another...... For a time, the Japanese army was not even enough sailboats, so the transportation capacity was reduced.
Japan still has the speed of making sailing ships, on the one hand, Japan does not lack wood, and the other part is that sailing ships are not complicated, plus the Korean Strait is not wide, and ordinary wooden boats can cross it in the absence of wind and waves, so Umezu Mijiro simply let the troops solve it by themselves.
That is, if the troops were to cross the strait, let them cut down their own wood to make sailboats or rafts.
Of course, this is exactly what Zhang Chi wants...... The construction of sailboats by the troops means that their speed of crossing the sea will be further slowed down, and by the time they have finished making sailboats, I am afraid that there will be no need to cross the sea.
On the other hand, the preparations of the American side are already in place, and it is only up to the east wind: special pilots have long been trained, and modified B29 bombers are ready...... The main thing is to dismantle all the heavy equipment that is not needed, and its task is very monotonous and simple, that is, to carry a bomb and drop it at an altitude of 9,000 meters, with the requirement that the impact point of the bomb must not deviate 300 meters from the target.
In fact, from the perspective of strategic strikes, it is not necessary not to deviate from the requirement of 300 meters, and the power of the atomic bomb can cover the entire city or even outside the city, and an error of more than 300 meters will not have any impact on the outcome of the explosion.
The main reason why the Americans made this request was to use the live explosion of the "atomic bomb" to collect data and accurately assess the explosive effect and lethality of the atomic bomb.
This is also the reason why the atomic bomb was dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki not on Tokyo: Tokyo had been bombed by American warplanes many times before, and if it had been dropped on Tokyo, it would have killed more Japanese politicians and shattered the rule of militarism in an instant...... But the United States has no way of knowing which incendiary bombs were bombed before and which ones were atomic bombs.
Hiroshima was chosen because Hiroshima is the city of Japan's army and the location of the Second General Headquarters for the defense of Japan's homeland.
Nagasaki was chosen because it is home to Japanese industry, especially shipbuilding...... This would completely blockade Japan on Japanese soil.
So the plan was quickly decided, and three B29s soon rose into the sky, one of them carrying only one bomb, and their target was Hiroshima.
