Chapter 553 shocked the world

The weather was hazy, and a late spring storm swept through Washington, D.C., the eastern capital of the United States. On the morning of May 5, President Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the sky with a solemn expression, as if expecting something. What is he looking at, is he looking at how thick the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky are? Definitely! This morning the Allies launched a general attack on Berlin from all sides, and it was only a matter of time before Berlin was captured.

Was President Roosevelt concerned about the last battle against Germany? Definitely! In fact, he was keeping a close eye on the Eastern Theater, an important military operation. This military action will have a tremendous shock to the United States and the world. Whether or not a nuclear strike against Japan is successful has a bearing on ending the war against Japan as soon as possible. President Roosevelt was not at ease, so he was extremely nervous, even more nervous than the American commander on the mission.

Also that morning, the phone rang and woke Ouyang Jian up. Soon his figure appeared in the command hall of the Ministry of Defense. In the hall, Lao Jiang stood with a solemn expression, and when he saw Ouyang Jian walking in, he just nodded, Li Zongren, He Yingqin, and senior generals such as Dai Li, the head of the secret service, had already arrived, and the expressions on their faces were confused. "General Ouyang, the listening radio station of the Second Intelligence Department in Taipei has intercepted the top-secret telegram of the US military. As a result of the decipherment, the US military will launch a major military operation against Japan, codenamed Manhattan! Your intelligence is confirmed. ”

Lao Jiang continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, this military operation of the US military is related to the war situation in the Far East, the final outcome of Japan, and the future of China!" "After Ouyang Jian told the veteran that the US military was going to use the atomic bomb, Lao Jiang ordered the Second Intelligence Department to send the most capable personnel to Taipei to listen to the US military's radio station." Can the exact location of the station be locked? Dai Kasa pointed to the map and said, "The radio station is located in the sea east of Okinawa, about this area!" ”

Ouyang Jian was relieved when he heard this, it was a message sent from the aircraft carrier, and the action code was not wrong. In fact, after nearly half a month of monitoring, we can see the clues, and there will be no more doubts. Ouyang Jian nodded to Lao Jiang, and Lao Jiang said: "Regarding the Manhattan military operation carried out by the US military, it is unprecedented in history, and I will ask General Ouyang to elaborate on it below!" "Ladies and gentlemen, the means of striking modern warfare, along with the rapid development of science and technology, far exceed our imagination. About the Manhattan military operation carried out by the U.S. military. ”

At 6 a.m., the golden sun shines on the sea, rippling blue waves and brilliant colors. In the waters east of Okinawa, the US Navy aircraft carrier warship Hornet, accompanied by frigates, appeared in a majestic manner. At this time, on the deck of the aircraft carrier, two B29 bombers, emitted a deafening roar on the runway. In the cockpit of the bomber in front, Colonel Claude watched the gestures of the commander on the ground. He was the commander of the Manhattan military operation.

The ground commander gave the command to take off, and Claude pushed the joystick, and the plane began to slowly taxi and accelerate. Everyone was sweating, and the plane left the deck at high speed and fell rapidly, and soon the huge body of the plane began to climb, and there was a cheer on the deck. Soon, the second aircraft also took off. Some of the sailors on deck waved their hats, some waved their arms, and some reverently drew crosses, watching the two bombers disappear into the sky.

Colonel Claude led two B29 bombers, climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and then flew in formation towards the target. Claude's bomber was carrying an atomic bomb nicknamed "Little Boy" with an explosive yield of 200,000 tons and targeting Hiroshima, Japan. Another bomber was carrying an atomic bomb nicknamed "Fat Man" with an explosive yield of 300,000 tons, targeting Nagasaki, Japan. When the two B29 bombers entered the airspace over the Seto Inland Sea, they swooped down on their targets.

"Report to Colonel, arrive in Hiroshima!" The navigator shouted loudly. "Immediately drop the altitude and prepare to drop the bomb!" "9000 meters, 9500 meters, 8000 meters!" "Bomb dropping!" With Claude's command, the manipulator pressed the switch, and the little boy disappeared in the blink of an eye. "Report, the parachute went well, and the little boy opened the flight posture well!" "Get out of the danger zone immediately and get ready to take pictures!" Claude gave the order again. The little boy was about 500 meters above the ground, when suddenly there was a flash of fire, followed by an earth-shattering loud bang.

A mushroom cloud rises, and these scenes are recorded on film. About half an hour later, another bomber successfully dropped the Fat Man over Nagasaki. The Liangjiang B29 bomber, after successfully completing the mission, rendezvoused in the airspace of the East China Sea, and then flew directly to the Taipei military airfield. There is no need to dwell on the aftermath of the bombing and the brutal killings, and it is not an exaggeration to compare Hiroshima and Nagasaki to hell on earth.

In the office of President Roosevelt in the White House in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, the presidential secretary walked in, and Roosevelt was obviously a little nervous. "Mr. President, I just received a telegram from the USS Hornet, Operation Manhattan was a great success, and the photos taken will be delivered tomorrow morning!" Roosevelt breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Immediately convene the members of Congress, I want to announce this important news." Next, the Americans will continue to intimidate the Japanese, and forcing the Japanese to surrender will become the main theme.

In the hall of the Ministry of National Defense in Chongqing, Ouyang Jian seemed to have become an expert and scholar, and many generals asked about the knowledge of nuclear physics, but Ouyang Jian had to answer all questions. As a legend, no one doubts his profound expertise, and it seems to be rightfully so. Just as Ouyang Jian was talking, a senior intelligence officer of the Military Council hurriedly walked in and muttered a few words in Lao Jiang's ear. The scene was suddenly silent, and all eyes were on Lao Jiang.

"Ladies and gentlemen, news has come from Taipei that the Manhattan military operation was a great success, targeting Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. Two bombers on a bombing mission were confirmed to have landed at the Taipei Military Airport. Here I would like to reiterate that it was General Ouyang's keen and accurate judgment and a lot of work done in the early stage, so that we can deal with it calmly today, and General Ouyang is worthy of being a legendary general in China! The audience erupted in applause.

After all, this kind of terrifying bomb was dropped on the Japanese soil, and such exciting news was confirmed, and the generals at the scene were silent in excitement. Ouyang Jian had no choice but to cover it up: "It's still the same sentence, I'm not afraid that I can't do it, I'm afraid that I can't think of it, this is my obligation." Lao Jiang continued: "General Ouyang, you accompany me to see General Eisenhower!" Ouyang Jian said: "Headmaster, don't be impatient, if I guess correctly, General Eisenhower and the American ambassador are already on their way!" ”

As expected, Eisenhower and the U.S. ambassador arrived as scheduled. The United States first reported the news of the nuclear bombing of Japan, and Eisenhower was deeply surprised that Chiang Lao and the Chinese generals reacted very calmly. Subsequently, at the request of the US ambassador, a meeting of military attachés was held at various times. At the meeting, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, chief of the Chinese Theater General Staff, solemnly announced this important news and the reasons why the United States wanted to use the atomic bomb. ”

On that day, the world's major media were boiling at the same moment. Different media outlets express different voices, praise, concern, concern, and opposition. In particular, the Russian news agency TASS opposes the nuclear bombing of Japan, holding that this weapon of mass destruction, like bacteriological weapons and chemical weapons, is ******. The TASS report is very representative, and the Central News Agency of the Nationalist Government strongly supports the United States, believing that the most correct choice is to use the ultimate means to strike at Japan, which can hasten the demise of Japanese militarism.

On May 6, a special plane crossed the strait from the Korean Peninsula into Japan. The plane reached the sky over Hiroshima and circled at a reduced altitude. At this moment, Okamura Ninji looked down through the window. The following scene made him unbelievable, a beautiful city was gone, and within a few dozen minutes, this beautiful city was razed to the ground. Okamura Ninji was in a gloomy mood to the extreme, and he knew in his heart that the emperor personally named him to go back.

Okamura felt a little relieved, for the Japanese Empire, the war was over, maybe it was just a relief. His plane landed at the Tokyo airport and drove straight to the Imperial Palace. The results of the meeting with the emperor confirmed Okamura Ninji's judgment. Emperor Hirohito has let the fear of the bomb scare the six gods. Emperor Hirohito, with the support of all civilian officials, Okamura Ninji and other generals, decided to accept the ultimatum of the United States and surrender unconditionally in order to avoid the crisis of the extinction of the Yamato nation as a whole!

On May 15, Japan sent a telegram to China, the United States, and Britain accepting unconditional surrender, and Emperor Hirohito preached the instrument of surrender to the world.
