Chapter 478: Nuclear Attack Next: The Final Blow of World War II
On September 25, 1947, the third day of the Imperial Axe promised to complete the nuclear lease as soon as possible.
United States, Washington, Congress.
Six minutes before the official start of the congressional session, Truman picked up the draft speech that Eisenhower was going to use for a while and looked at it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he felt a little more at ease.
Although a consensus had been reached at the high-level meeting on the unconditional surrender of the Chinese, some differences arose in communication with other important figures in the Ming Cook Party.
Many people in the Ming Cooking Party, including Lopez, chairman of the Ming Cooking Party, actually disagreed with Truman's decision. They believe that Truman's fears are somewhat unnecessary, and there is not sufficient evidence that the Chinese will use atomic bombs against the United States. The Cook Party was still like this, and the Republicans disagreed even more, and when the scale of the war reached a huge scale, even Truman could not afford to order an early and unconditional surrender to the Axis powers on his own. Not legally, not politically.
This special meeting of the two chambers was a hearing to vote on the important decision of unconditional surrender, which was presented to Congress by General Eisenhower, who spoke at noon and voted on in the afternoon.
The meeting soon began, and Eisenhower, dressed in the uniform of a five-star general, took the stage, glanced around at the crowd of lawmakers below, and began his speech that he had to give with all his might in order to get a special vote from the members of both houses.
"Distinguished Gentlemen and Ladies,
The war has been going on for 8 years, and we have had victories and defeats, but today we find ......"
Sitting next to the many congressmen, Truman's face was ugly, because some of the congressmen around him were openly whispering, completely ignoring Eisenhower, who was speaking passionately on the stage in front of him.
“…… They (the military) are evading responsibility, we still have a large army, we still have a well-established military industry, they should think about how to speed up the development of nuclear weapons, not how to admit defeat......"
"Kyle, I agree with you, we can't give them this chance, damn the ruling party......"
"We should not support such a bad decision, otherwise the Benjamin Party will suffer defeat for many years to come."
…… All kinds of discussions, from the small silence and caution at the beginning, to the undisguised at the back, no one cared about Truman, who was sitting there, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was the president of the United States, as if he was in power. But in the eyes of these parliamentarians, he is just a politician whose shit luck has usurped the presidency.
Every young parliamentarian has an unyielding dream in his heart that one day, Lao Tzu may also become president.
Under the influence of these people's psychology, how can a president, whose prestige is far less than that of Roosevelt, command a pack of wolves and get Congress and many parties to unanimously support him on foreign issues and wars.
So, soon, the vote began.
The vote in the U.S. Congress, even though it was a special bicameral meeting, was still not a simple show of hands, the process was relatively complicated, and a few hours later, Truman finally waited for the result.
However, when he saw the results, his face was very ugly.
"Mr. President......"
Simon, assistant to the president, did not read the document he had just brought and had opened it by Truman himself.
"The result of the vote did not pass."
Truman let out a long sigh and put down the papers in his hand, a result that made him a little angry, but not surprised.
However, only an hour later, Truman learned a piece of information that shocked and frightened him.
Eisenhower strode into Truman's office and said with a very bad face, "Mr. President, Hitler has just announced in Berlin that the German political axe has successfully completed the nuclear lease negotiations with the Chinese, and from now on, the Chinese will fulfill their commitments whenever possible." ”
"What !!!"
Truman, who was only slightly angry when the vote did not pass, finally couldn't help it this time, he almost jumped up in fright, grabbed the document and looked at it, trembled his hands, pointed at Eisenhower and said, "Immediately activate our sleeper agents in Europe and China, we must get their most detailed negotiations at all costs, we must do whatever it takes." ”
Immediately afterward, Truman looked at Simon, who had just run in, and said, "I will authorize a new vote, and this time, it must be voted on at all costs." ”
"Yes, Mr. President." Simon said.
Truman thought for a moment and added to Eisenhower, "General, I have received a report that an enemy is intent to attack a session of Congress, and I authorize you to mobilize the necessary forces to impose emergency military control in the vicinity of the Capitol building. ”
"Yes, Mr. President."
Where did Eisenhower not understand Truman's decision, which was to be forced.
"Inform Iverson and let him come to me."
Ten minutes later, US Secretary of State Iverson arrived in President Harry S. Truman's office.
Truman picked up the documents on the table and handed them to him, in fact, before coming, Iverson also got the news that the Germans in Berlin, Hitler forcefully announced to the world the completion of nuclear lease negotiations, claiming that they had paid a huge price and would launch a nuclear attack by their allies Chinese at any time from now on.
"It's time to make a decisive decision." Iverson thought so.
Truman looked at Iverson and said solemnly, "Congress will vote again on the proposal for unconditional surrender to the Chinese in two hours." I need you, the Secretary of State, to contact the Chinese offices in the United States and convey our decision to surrender to their political axes. ”
"Mr. President, is this decision a clear and unambiguous decision to surrender?"
Iverson confirmed.
"Yes, I'm sure." Truman said.
"Okay, as desired, Mr. President."
Truman finally said to Eisenhower, "Closely monitor the Chinese Far East, especially the major airports, and make every effort to save ourselves when the worst happens." ”
…… Time back an hour ago, Berlin, Germany.
A German Nazi colonel, holding a one-page message, hurried into Hitler's office.
"Führer! , Marshal Goering's urgent telegram back. ”
When Hitler heard this, he hurriedly took it, opened it, and laughed, "It's so good, it's so good." ”
Then he picked up the phone on the table and called Goebbels, "I'm Hitler, Goebbels, and in an hour I'm going to make an important speech to the whole world, and that's an order." ”
"Yes, Führer."
On the other end of the phone, Goebbels also guessed something, after all, the Führer had only made a public speech two or three days ago, and now he was in a hurry to speak, which showed that the nuclear lease had already achieved results, and perhaps it was time to implement it.
Sure enough, within 10 minutes, all the large and small German television and radio stations received an order from the German Propaganda Department, followed by various large and small television stations in Europe, and the radio stations also received this dead order.
"The Great Führer will give permission at 6 p.m. to deliver an extremely important speech......"
At six o'clock in the afternoon Berlin time, Hitler appeared on the television screen on time, and his voice was heard on the radio.
"Dear peoples of Europe, all peace-loving peoples of the world,
Hello everyone. As Germany's Supreme Leader, I am pleased to announce an extremely important decision to conclude strategic negotiations with our great ally, the Chinese government, after painstaking efforts and at great cost, and we have reached agreement on nuclear leasing.
The world war cannot last forever, justice will surely triumph over evil, and the people of the world will be restored to a long-lost peace, and in order to end the war, we will immediately entrust China with the use of atomic bombs at any time to deliver the final blow to our enemies......"
Hitler's speech was like a meteorite falling into a small pool, setting off huge waves all over the world.
Although the vast majority of people are still wondering, what is wrong with the Germans? I got the right to use the atomic bomb by 'leasing', and I still want to announce it to the world?
Can't they just use it?
It's originally a hostile relationship, the kind that doesn't stop dying, but you still have to say it before you fight?
However, many politicians and people of insight do not see it that way.
The fact that the Germans dared to urgently announce this earth-shattering event can only say two things.
First, the Chinese do not want to carry this black pot alone, even if nuclear weapons are used, they must morally give this 'great reputation' to the Germans, there are Germans to back, or the Germans pay a huge price to demand how to use these atomic bombs, no matter how many years pass, China will not be the first target, on the contrary, German Hitler will become the first target.
Second, this nuclear attack is likely to happen today, early tomorrow at the latest. Since the Germans dared to declare it on their own initiative, it would not be used to intimidate the Allies, but to get the Chinese as to when they could act definitely.
Luckily, they guessed right.
China, Hanjing, Hanjing Mountain.
Lu Ziyun and Jiang Baili came to Zhang Shusheng's office.
"Chairman, the plan has been prepared, and Hitler has already announced in Berlin the decision to lease the atomic bomb to retaliate against the Allies."
Lu Ziyun said with a smile, "Our missile forces in the Far East have also begun to repeat the inspection of various parameters. ”
Zhang Shusheng: "In this case, let's start the final blow of this Second World War, the enemy is at the end of the road, let's give them another ride."
As for the missile action force, I can authorize it at any time. ”
"Yes, Chairman!!"
Lu Ziyun was overjoyed, after waiting for so long, the missile unit will appear in front of the people of the world for the first time, how can he not be excited. It has been more than 10 years since China successfully tested missiles, and his commander can be said to be the least famous of all the generals in the empire, and almost no one has heard of his name as General Lu Ziyun. He was not aggrieved not for himself, but for the fact that the Imperial Strategic Rocket Forces had no opponents and no place to be useful.
Now it's okay, thousands of soldiers have been raised, and finally it's time to use force.
