The Pentagon conference room was packed with high-ranking American elites, all staring solemnly at President Truman, all of whom had gathered for the Soviet Union's brutal actions in East Germany. And the outcome of their discussions will most likely influence the course of US policy.

"President Truman, you should look at this document." CIA Director Roscoe Henry Hillencott handed a document to Truman, "This is a picture we took on the East German border with a high-altitude reconnaissance plane, Soviet tanks and artillery began to be deployed on a large scale in East Germany, and the Soviets are still helping the East German government to form an army." ”

Truman frowned and asked, "The East German People's Army?" Just some rabble formed by the East German people's police and the Wehrmacht? ”

Secretary of State Marshall said, "Your Excellency, these soldiers who fought against the Soviet Union and the United States are no worse than the West German army in terms of military quality, and we cannot take it lightly. ”

"Let's put this question aside, gentlemen, the top priority is to increase the number of American ** troops stationed in West Germany." Truman suddenly raised his voice and emphasized the point of the meeting, "The Soviet Union has increased the strength of three armored divisions, then we will increase the strength of four armored divisions, so that this group of Siberian barbarians will know that the Americans and their allies are not easy to bully." ”

"Britain and France will have objections to entering Europe rashly." Someone asked a very crucial question, although the United States and France and Britain are allies, but Europe is their Europe after all, and the Americans, as outsiders, have an inexplicable relationship with each other.

"I have spoken to President Charles de Gaulle of France, Prime Minister Clement Attlee of the United Kingdom, and Prime Minister Arshile van Ack of Belgium, all of whom have condemned the current actions of the Soviet Union." Truman gave everyone a shot in the arm, and praised Marshall in passing, "But it is also thanks to Secretary of State Marshall, if it were not for his economic assistance program, we would not have been able to have such a close cooperative relationship with our allies." ”

"We also have to communicate with the Netherlands, West Germany, and Belgium to let the American ** team enter their strategic points and form a corner for the Soviet army. If these three places were lost, Britain and France would also be in danger. When he talked about Belgium, Truman would think of the Belgian crown prince, who was dozens of years older than himself.

"I'll leave it to Secretary of State Marshall." Truman unveiled his plan to everyone, "Eisenhower will be given command of this military operation, remember, the situation must be controlled within the limits of Germany, even if the final war starts, the Netherlands and Belgium cannot be occupied, otherwise the Soviets will be like a sharp sword to divide the whole of Europe in two." ”

After the meeting, Truman paused for a moment before preparing to leave for the military headquarters, where Eisenhower was still president of Columbia University and did not hold a military rank. But on European issues, Eisenhower, who had served as commander of the U.S. occupation forces in Germany, was the obvious choice.

But Truman's plan was soon interrupted by someone he didn't want to meet, and when the secretary told Truman that he was waiting in the White House, Truman thought it was a joke.

If it were formal diplomacy, I am afraid that the first person to receive Albert would be Secretary of State Marshall. However, Albert met with Truman in a private capacity, and it was impossible for Truman not to see him, but what Albert wanted to discuss with him was not a private matter, but about the movements of the Soviets.

Truman arrived to meet Albert in the dust, and instead of taking him to the White House office, he was in a small secret conference room without even a note-taker. It was only Albert, a private conversation between the two of them, with a president who could be said to be in the hands of a superpower.

"This is the intelligence we intercepted, that the Soviets were developing nuclear weapons, and they almost succeeded." Albert directly threw a bunch of documents to Truman, these information were all made by the Sky Eye Gang, anyway, it was plagiarism of history, and these KGB declassified files were 100% accurate information.

"How is it possible, if the Soviets were really developing nuclear weapons, our intelligence agencies would definitely be able to find out." The news was so shocking that Truman tried to keep himself calm, and in a secret meeting he had previously shown off to Stalin the nuclear weapons in his possession, and Stalin's response was not salty. At that time, Truman thought that Stalin was just pretending, but now that I think about it, there may be something really bad in it.

"The NKVD Beria had already begun to collect accurate information on the research of the United States, Britain and France on the atomic bomb, and in his report to the National Defense Committee on March 10, 1942, he spoke in detail about the work of the British uranium commission headed by Professor Thomson."

"On November 27, 1942, the National Defense Committee issued a resolution 'On the exploitation of uranium', instructing the People's Commissariat of Nonferrous Metallurgy to produce 4 tons of uranium salt by May 1, 1943 at the Tabashar "B" plant under the General Directorate of Rare Metals, and to draw up a plan for a uranium enterprise with an annual production capacity of 10 tons of uranium salt. ”

On February 5, 1943, the National Defense Committee ordered the establishment of Laboratory No. 2 within the Academy of Sciences system, headed by Kurchatov, a 40-year-old professor of physics. The mission of this extremely secret and privileged laboratory was to build an experimental reactor followed by an industrial reactor capable of extracting plutonium-239 from natural uranium ore. ”

"On August 20, 1945, the USSR State Defense Committee adopted Resolution No. 9887 - "On Special Committees under the National Defense Committee", which decided to establish a special committee to lead and coordinate the research on the atomic bomb. The chairman of the commission is Beria. In December 1946, the first graphite-moderated reactor was launched in the South Urals and a controlled chain fission reaction of uranium was realized. ”

Albert's words went straight to Truman's heart, especially when he said the last sentence, and President Truman had to sit in his chair to keep himself calm. He didn't expect that what he thought was a top-secret Manhattan project would have been infiltrated long ago.

"Is all this true?" President Truman asked, "Why don't our intelligence agencies get the slightest bit of information?" ”

"It's clear that a group of your bureaucratic subordinates are not fulfilling their accusations very well." Albert closed the folder, "If you don't believe me, let the intelligence agencies falsify it." Beginning in 1941, the first information on nuclear weapons reached the Kremlin, and in 1943, senior Soviet spies Kvasnikov and Sam Yonov broke into New York under the pseudonym Winter and established an underground organization called "Rear" in Canada. ”

Anyway, these Soviet spies would have been arrested in 1949, and Albert simply did Lei Feng and sent them to the CIA. It is also good to remind the United States that the shadow of the KGB is everywhere.

"If the CIA were to act now, would they be able to catch a Soviet spy who was sending a telegram, oh no, it should be a group of spies." After giving Truman this intelligence gift, Albert decided to give another big gift to the President of the United States.

"And I heard that the recent confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union has affected the peace of European and American countries, and as a member of the liberal countries of Western Europe, I am happy to share the worries of the United States." Albert snapped his fingers and said nonchalantly, as if the decision that could affect the European landscape was as ordinary as eating and drinking.

"Is it just one Belgium? Do you know how many troops the USSR was? Truman's face was a little pale, and he still didn't believe that a country with all heavy tanks could do anything.

Albert stared at Truman and said unhurriedly, "I know that President Truman does not believe me, of course, after tonight, President Truman naturally hopes that Belgium can intervene in the affairs of the conflict, and it is voluntary." ”
