"Mr. Admiral, do you think the Germans have a super-bomb that will put them...... What's that called? ”

"The atomic bomb, Mr. Senator, the Germans call it the atomic bomb. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Oh, the atomic bomb, did the Germans have a way to drop the atomic bomb on American territory?"

"Yes, you can use the Me264 long-range bomber for a one-way combat flight, a forced landing in the Atlantic Ocean after dropping a bomb, or a pilot parachuting out."

"Can't our combat planes shoot it down?"

"It's very difficult, because during this time we deployed a large number of P47s, P51s, P61s and F7Fs on the Nova Scotia Peninsula in Canada to try to intercept the Me264 that fired missiles at New York and Boston, but the effect was very poor."

"Do you know what caused it?"

"It's not very clear, but the Army Air Corps has assessed that the most likely is that the Germans have an airborne radar with a large detection range. It is possible that they will install this radar on their large Bv138 type seaplanes and use this seaplane as a radar alert aircraft......"

Capitol Hill, Washington. What is taking place in the Senate chamber is a closed-door hearing on the war situation.

The question is being asked by the leader of the Republican Senate in the United States, Robert Brown. Taft, while the testimony was given by the commander of the U.S. Army Air Corps, Admiral Arnold. Taft's question was about the atomic bomb and the Me264 penetration capability—a question that was simply prepared to prove Roosevelt's point of view—and Admiral Arnold seemed to have been prepared for it, and not only did he answer it fluently, but his adjutant produced a pre-printed copy of the written report made by the front-line pilots and the commander of the radar station.

These reports can prove that the Me264 is extremely penetrating and it is difficult for American fighters to catch them. And Arnold has prepared a very convincing analysis of why the German Me264 always eludes American fighters.

And his analysis report is really right, immediately after the Bv138E water early warning aircraft began to officially enter service, several were used to escort the Me264 that attacked the continental United States.

Because the Bv138E maritime early warning aircraft has a powerful S-band radar, it can detect American aircraft from a long distance and notify Me264 to evade or evacuate.

Although the Me264 does not carry a fight, it flies very fast, and if the enemy plane can be warned dozens of kilometers away from it, it can completely slip away at high speed. And the planes of the Americans, without the radar command of surface ships, do not even have the direction of pursuit!

So the U.S. Army and Navy Air Corps are now struggling to shoot down a few Me264s that launched Reaper-1B cruise missiles off the east coast of the United States. At the same time, American destroyers carrying out radar search missions at sea are often attacked by Me264 missiles with Reaper-1 anti-ship missiles, and from September 20 to October 10, six destroyers were sunk, and the losses can be called heavy!

Due to the failure to intercept the Me264, the US Army Air Corps thought that the Me264 carrying the atomic bomb could take the form of one-way bombing, and under the protection of radar alert aircraft, it would be possible to penetrate the big cities on the east coast of the United States at night.

……

"Mr. Admiral," now it was the turn of Democratic Senate Leader Barkley to ask, "is our B-29 bombing Europe during this time?" ”

"Yes." Admiral Arnold replied.

"Mr. Chief of Naval Operations," Barkley did not continue to ask Arnold, but turned to Chief of Naval Operations Ernest Brown. Kim, "During this time, are we using submarines to launch rockets on the Japanese mainland?" ”

"It's rockets."

"Are these rockets loaded with mustard gas warheads, anthrax bullets, and plague flea warheads?"

"There are no plague fleas, just mustard gas, anthrax spores, and napalm."

"We don't have plague weapons?"

"We do, but we can't install it on a rocket, we can only drop it by an airplane."

"Well, Admiral Arnold," Barkley asked, "can we drop plague bombs and anthrax bombs on the big cities of Europe with the B-29s?" ”

"Yes." Arnold frowned and nodded slightly, "If you take the method of one-way bombing and night raids, there is a certain probability that it can be done." ”

"So what about the lethality of anthrax spore bombs and plague flea bombs? How many Europeans can these two weapons we have kill? Barkley asked, "Can anyone answer that question?" ”

Army Chief of Staff Marshall took over the question: "Mr. Senator, the lethality of bacteriological weapons depends on the adversary's medical level and social organization ability......"

"Please answer my question directly."

"It could kill tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands," Marshall said, thinking for a moment, "and 10 times as many people would get sick." ”

"So how many Americans can the atomic bombs that the Germans currently have kill them?"

"Maybe kill hundreds of thousands of people." Marshall said.

"That is to say, the exchange ratio of hundreds of thousands of men to hundreds of thousands," Barkley asked, "Admiral, do you think the Germans are determined to use that atomic bomb against the United States?" ”

"Certainly not," Marshall replied, "but according to the exact information, the Germans have built a large and technologically advanced uranium separation plant that will be able to obtain a lot of uranium-235 when fully operational." Conservative estimates that by 1946, the number of atomic bombs in the possession of the Germans could reach 20-30. By then, they will be able to kill millions of Americans and destroy 20-30 major cities on the East Coast of the United States. ”

"But we'll have the atomic bomb then, right?"

"This ...... I'm not sure. ”

Obviously, the issues raised by the US Democratic Party are not conducive to peacemaking. It is as if it is not the president of the Democratic Party who is proposing peace, but the opposition Republican Party.

US President Roosevelt was also in the Senate conference room at this time, leaning on a stiff high-backed deputy chair, his face was full of exhaustion, his breathing seemed a little rapid, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and his eyes were a little sluggish.

This old man, who has little time but a heavy burden on his shoulders, is so tired these days, with two hearings during the day, and has to face all kinds of difficult questions. In the evenings, they have to deal with the mountains of government and military affairs, holding meetings attended by high-level government and military officials, and often working until the early hours of the morning. Not to mention that he is a patient who is sick and has had a stroke once, even a normal person may not be able to stand it. Not to mention that he is still facing tremendous pressure from all sides. Almost every day now, he gritted his teeth and held on!

"Mr. President."

Now that the military hearings are over, the hearings on Roosevelt's physical health have begun again -- marathon hearings that last for hours a day, and it is a bit difficult for Roosevelt.

"How are you feeling right now?" Robert. Taft frowned when he asked the question - if the military question still needs to be heard, Roosevelt's health does not need to be "heard" at all, just look at his appearance!

He should go to the ward and lie down now, and he shouldn't come to the Senate to prove that he is healthy. If he had been healthy, all the patients in the intensive care units of Columbia and Cornell University Hospitals in New York-Presbyterian would have been able to join the U.S. Marine Corps.

"I feel good," Roosevelt replied word for word. "Actually...... I'm in good health, and that's what Dr. McIntyre thinks in his health report. ”

Roosevelt's adjutant in the Navy, Colonel Caton, gave Taft a forged health report. Taaffe flipped through the pages in disguise, and then said, "Looks like you really ...... It's healthy, I'm fine. ”

"Can I make a request?" Buckley, the Democratic Party boss, took over the topic at this time, and he stood up at this time, "As a healthy person, can you stand and answer a few questions from me?" ”

Stand?

Roosevelt didn't have much time standing before he had a stroke, but he had polio (or maybe some other weird disease), let alone now?

Roosevelt could not refuse the request, though, because the hearing on his health was a public hearing. If he says he can't stand up, is he embarrassed to say that he is healthy? That "health certificate" is perjury.

Giving false testimony at a congressional hearing is a crime!

"No problem." Roosevelt gritted his teeth, grabbed the armrests of the chair with both hands, and pushed it upwards with all his might, helping his weak legs barely support his massive upper body. However, those two thin legs could not support it for long, but fortunately there was a table in front of Roosevelt's body, and on the table there were several thick books, still stacked on top of each other - this was deliberately placed by Colonel Caton, so that Roosevelt could hold them down with his hand to support his body and keep him standing when necessary. Roosevelt pressed his right hand against the book, and his body shook, finally steady.

"Senator Buckley, do you have any questions?" Roosevelt asked with a strong spirit.

Senator Barkley sighed softly, it seems that this time Roosevelt is going to be fooled again!

It was at this time that Ernest. One of King's lieutenants, a lieutenant colonel, rushed in from outside the Senate conference room, ran to the Chief of Naval Operations under all the gaze, and leaned over to Ernest. Jin muttered a few words in his ear, and the admiral's originally wrinkled face suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"Admiral King," Roosevelt had already noticed, Ernest Kim. Kim and the lieutenant admiral, "What's wrong, can you say it?" ”

"Yes," Ernest said. Kim said in an excited tone, "Central Pacific Command reports that Pearl Harbor has been recaptured by us!" The Star-Spangled Banner is already flying over Pearl Harbor! ”
