Iron Bone Chapter 2233 is at the end of the road
On March 12, the long train departed Washington under the noon scorching heat and rumbled across the Tomac River. //. Update as fast as 78xs// ♠ ♥ ♣
During this time, Roosevelt was physically and mentally exhausted, and after the Tehran Conference, he took a large staff team to the sea of ∈ sea.
As soon as he returned to the United States, news came that the An Jiajun had used missiles to grow mushrooms on the Rì Islands. Rao had been mentally prepared, but when he heard and confirmed it in person, Roosevelt was still very shocked. Feeling the backwardness of the United States in atomic bomb research, Roosevelt now gathered his way to the ground. Major General Raybold and Brigadier General James Marshall, as well as the new Manhattan project director Edward Taylor, asked them to develop the atomic bomb in at least two years.
America's most talented nuclear researcher has died one round after another, and most of the rest are replacements who have been eliminated for one kind of problem.
Edward Taylor, who is more passionate about nuclear fusion than nuclear fission, said that due to the loss of many experts and scholars, including former military chief Brigadier General Groves and director Robert Oppenheimer, coupled with the destruction of uranium ore mining sites in Canada and the Midwest of the United States, and the supply of uranium ore from outside the United States, bituminous uranium ore from South Africa and Congo has long been plundered and mined by the Anyi Group, and Australia and Latin America have been placed under the control of the United States. Uranium ore supplies to the United States have become seriously problematic.
Taylor believes that it is imperative to restore uranium ore production in Canada and the mainland, and to seize the time to explore for new uranium ore deposits.
In addition, because it takes a lot of electricity to refine and enrich uranium, the Rì army destroyed the hydropower stations in the Midwest of the United States when they retreated, and even the small thermal power plants were dismantled and packed away, and it took some time for the power supply to return to normal. Therefore, even with all efforts, it is expected that it will take four or eight years at the earliest to produce the first atomic bomb.
Roosevelt did not question the judgment of the professionals, and in his disappointment, he could only demand that the atomic bomb be developed with "special priority above all actions." Then he could only look at the other side of the ocean with envy, and then seek a conventional way to completely solve the native rì army.
After working in Washington for more than twenty days in a row, Roosevelt, who had been in a weakened state after returning home, finally fell ill, and on the advice of his health care doctor, Vice Admiral Ross McIntyre, Roosevelt decided to go to the Worm Springs Hot Springs in Georgia to recuperate for a while.
Although it's only March. But the weather on the East Coast of the United States is already very hot. Sweating profusely, Roosevelt got on the train. I didn't do anything, I got into bed and got under the quilt, which was pleasant and cool, because there was air conditioning in the carriage. Wake up. Roosevelt was refreshed, and it was dinner time, so he changed his clothes and prepared for dinner.
His niece, Laura Delano, mixed the cocktail with the finest whiskey he had brought with him, and Roosevelt felt relaxed at dinner, chatting and laughing with the women who accompanied him until eleven p.m.
Roosevelt had ordered before leaving Washington. The visit to the hot springs was to be kept strictly secret, and on the eve of departure, everything was going on as usual in the White House, and the president's wife, Anna Eleanor, continued to live in the White House for routine social activities.
Before Roosevelt fell asleep, he ordered him to be woken up at half past eight in the morning, but the attendants had to wake him up at three in the morning, because of the news from Southeast Asia—the An Army had launched a landing operation on Luzon at seven o'clock in the morning of the twelfth day of Chang'an time, after nine hours of fierce fighting. Successfully landed on the coast of Lingjiayan Bay in the northwest of Luzon, and the fighting is now developing in depth.
Looking at the dark night outside the train, Roosevelt's mood suddenly became heavier than ever. Not only did the An Jia Army possess sophisticated weapons such as atomic bombs and missiles, but even its soldiers were unstoppable and victorious in every battle. If this trend continues, the weakening of the Western world is almost inevitable, and An Yi and the country he leads will probably stand at the pinnacle of this era. And he is powerless against all this.
Thinking of An Yi, Roosevelt thought of his political adviser, Deputy Secretary of State Hopkins. Hopkins once visited the Kremlin. After meeting Stalin, the tycoons with strong anti-Soviet sentiments called him "Gray Bishop", saying that he had an important influence on the pro-Soviet attitude of the president, and that when the most reactionary people in the United States slandered Roosevelt, they would certainly scold Hopkins in passing.
At this time, Roosevelt did not know that he would never see this confidant again, and Hopkins had fallen ill and was hospitalized, and he lived less than a year longer than Roosevelt.
A day later, Roosevelt moved into the presidential quarters of Worm Springs Springs, just ten meters from the "Little White House", a wood-paneled bungalow with a white-painted city, with a porch in the middle, with a triangular roof on the porch, supported by two thin wooden piles, and under the roof was a blue skylight, and on either side of the porch were two rows of large windows, which occupied almost the entire wall.
On the fourth day after staying in the hot springs, Roosevelt received the exciting news that at 5 p.m. on the 17th of July, after a series of fierce battles, the Allied forces successfully landed in Normandy on the northwest coast of France, and then two million Allied troops continued to come ashore and successfully opened up the Western Front. After that, until the last moment of his life, all Roosevelt got was the report of the League's victory.
In the Western European theater, the Allied forces under the command of Eisenhower marched forward bravely, Vichy zhèngfǔ in southern France surrendered without a fight, announcing the transfer of power to the "Zìyóu France" movement, and the German Army Group B and the Seventh Army under the command of Field Marshal Rundstedt resisted bravely, but they were helpless to hold on to ∫∮ me.
On the North African side, on February 27, Rommel, who had run out of ammunition and food, led his troops to surrender to the troops of the Anjia Army stationed in Egypt from Bugbug to Matrou, and the "zìyóu French" army and the expeditionary force sent by ** marched east from Tunisia and Algeria to take over the Libyan defense in a time.
On the Soviet-German battlefield, the Soviet Army on the North Route successively captured Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, approaching Germany's East Prussia and Poland's northern defense line, and the Red Army on the Central Route attacked Ksmolensk and Belarus's Minsk to threaten Poland's eastern defense line. Only in Ukraine and the lower Don River did the German army resist fiercely, and Rostov-on-Don, which is still firmly in the hands of the Germans as the railway hub between South China and Germany.
In the Southeast Asian battlefield, Gu Changfeng's troops only spent 20 days, and although the Philippine Front Army under the Southern Army of the Army had seven divisions and six infantry brigades, it was not known whether the explosion of the atomic bomb had a huge deterrent to the soldiers of the Army, and the Army was tied down during the battle. More and more troops voluntarily surrendered, and by April 2, the Philippine army surrendered to the Anjia army under the command of Senior General Masaharu Honma and Lieutenant General Masashi Maeda, Chief of Staff.
This was the highest-ranking general to surrender after the start of the war, and the defeat of the Ìmoto seemed to be getting closer and closer.
Australian battlefield. Under the leadership of Xia Jian, the Anjia Army, which landed at the port of Darwin on the northwest coast of Australia in early March, captured Arnhem Land in a month.
The army was on the verge of collapse during the battle, and it did not show the strength that a first-class army should have, which disappointed Roosevelt, who was expecting the two tigers to fight.
On the U.S. mainland, the Army was firmly confined to Seattle and Vancouver, although Rì himself was constantly sending supplies and troops by steamer at night. Hundreds of anti-aircraft guns using VT signal tube technology were used for air defense, but the U.S. military still made a lot of gains, and each round of bombing took a large number of lives.
In Roosevelt's view, it was imperative to completely drive the army out of the United States. All you have to do is head north to fully conquer the Araski region before autumn arrives.
At noon on April 12, Roosevelt was chatting with three ladies: his cousin Glitter Sukli, niece Laura Delano, and the other his mistress Lucy. Suddenly, Roosevelt raised his left hand. He pressed his temples and moved his hand to his forehead, as if he wanted to pinch it too, but his hand quickly hung down and his fingers twitched.
Sukeli saw this. Hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Franklin, did you drop something?" ”
Roosevelt's eyes were closed and he replied in a weak voice, "I...... My head hurts! As soon as he finished speaking, his head drooped to the left. At this time, the time is 1:15 p.m.
3 p.m. Despite the doctor's best efforts, Roosevelt's vital signs were gone.
At 4:56 p.m., Vice President Truman received a call from the White House, and when he arrived at the White House, the president's wife, Eleanor, gently put her hand on his shoulder and said sadly: "Harry, the president has died!" ”
Truman was at a loss, and after a while he asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?" ”
Eleanor shook her head and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?" Harry, now that you are the President of the United States, you will be tasked with bringing the dilapidated United States back into the world's largest power in the face of South China's aggressive expansion! ”
After that, Eleanor ignored Truman, left the White House, and flew to Wormsprings Hot Springs on a special plane.
Moments before Roosevelt's death, it was 2 a.m. Chang'an time, and 5 a.m. in the port of Rabaul, a New British island in the northern part of the Coral Sea in the 10th time zone.
After land-based reconnaissance planes and submarines confirmed that the main task force of the An Jia Army had returned south to New Zealand, the Fifth Fleet of the Navy, breathed a long sigh of relief.
On April 3, Vice Admiral Kiichi Hasegawa, commander of the fleet, ordered the state of de-readiness to be lifted, and half of the ships entered the port of Rabaul to rest and rest, while the other half were cruising in the open sea, rotating once every three days.
It was the time of the third rotation, and there was still silence in the military port of Rabaul, and outside the port area, in the Blanche Bay of the Blanche in the Brash Haybu, the already exhausted Jǐng Ring fleet was heading towards the port area early, waiting for the time for the change of guard at nine o'clock in the morning.
At this time, at the Samiten Hill Missile Base in Johor City, Malay Peninsula, more than 6,000 kilometers away from the port of Rabaul, an F-5 missile loaded with a nuclear warhead of 25,000 tons rose into the sky and pierced the sky!
The fleet did not know that it had become a target, and in the morning twilight, the officers and men on duty of the fleet could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that the active volcano standing at the mouth of the bay and spewing flames was far behind them, and the wharf in the port area was clearly in sight.
"Look, what's that?" Suddenly, someone asked, pointing to a bright spot falling at high speed in the gray sky.
"Meteor!" The person next to him replied uncertainly.
That bright spot is getting bigger, brighter, and closer!
"Woo-"
The fleet sounded the air defense bulletin, and the fighters got up from their beds and quickly rushed to their combat posts.
The sound of anti-aircraft artillery "crackled", and the port of Rabaul in the distance was also alarmed by the anomaly, and the docks were full of running people.
The F-5 missile came too fast, plunged directly into the sea water of the harbor, and a loud "boom" was heard, and the sea water was quickly gathered together by the explosion, rising high from the sea surface, and the sea flashed with dazzling white light, which was brighter than 100,000 suns, penetrated the sea water, and soared into the sky, illuminating the entire Blanche Bay and Rabaul Harbor area of the British Cob.
Crashing on the rì warship at the rear of the inbound fleet, the devil sailors could only see the sea like lightning flashing suddenly, and the night turned into day in an instant.
"Boom-"
The huge sound was like tens of thousands of steam locomotives roaring in unison, and the sea water squeezed by the strong pressure quickly rose from the surface of the water a huge water column with a diameter of about two kilometers, and the water column rushed up thousands of meters into the air, and a scarlet fireball broke through the sea water, broke out from the middle of the mushroom-like water column, and rose into the air.
A huge fireball breaks through the seawater and soars into the sky, absorbing the heat and heat of the sea, and throwing it from the mushroom cover to the surrounding area.
The battleships of the Rì Army, which were located within two kilometers of the center of the explosion, including four aircraft carriers, including the two main aircraft carriers "Nasu" and "Minobu", as well as one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers, and five destroyers, were swallowed up by the column of water that rose into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they were submerged by the boiling seawater, and they were sent to the bottom of the sea in a minute.
Those unlucky sailors of the Rì army did not even have time to react, and they were scalded to death by the boiling seawater.
The twelve warships closest to the center of the explosion were swallowed up by the huge waves at once, and the warships anchored in the Rabaul port area and the other ships that fell behind were not spared, and all of them were broken by the rapid rush of high-pressure seawater.
At the same time, the huge waves set off by the atomic bomb were mixed with broken steel and submerged the entire Rabaul port area, destroying the entire Fifth Fleet's eight aircraft carriers, two heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, 28 destroyers, and more than 100 auxiliary ships.
Everywhere the waves went, they were overwhelming and overwhelming, and Vice Admiral Kiichi Hasegawa, commander of the Fifth Air Fleet, who did not know what had happened, was buried in the tsunami along with the entire command.
At nine o'clock in the morning, as the waves receded, the sailors of the Rì Army, who had survived by luck, hurriedly reported the losses to the Combined Fleet Command.
At this time, Rì Benzhèngfǔ and the military top brass had just received the news of Roosevelt's death and were about to celebrate, when they suddenly received the news of the annihilation of the Fifth Fleet, and suddenly thought that the opponent they were directly facing was not the Americans but the An Jiajun.
