Chapter 447: Alliance Panic
Washington, USA.
There were some guards standing next to the lawn behind the White House, and two old men were strolling along the lawn, talking about things.
"General Eisenhower, there is something special going on in the urgent recall of you from London this time."
President Truman raised his cane, paused, looked at Eisenhower and said. Previously, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces was in London approaching the European theater to conduct remote command, but suddenly received an urgent order from Washington, so he flew back to the United States overnight.
After getting off the plane, he didn't even have time to rest when he was taken to the White House by a presidential car, and after a brief wash, he saw this frowning Mr. President, whose expression highlighted many helpless and tired people.
Truman was a relatively capable president, and he was also very capable, and the key was that he was very supportive of the war, and he was a staunch pro-war faction, so to speak, it was he who deepened the gradual march to war formulated during the Roosevelt period, deepened into the war, and finally won the war.
This set of policies has been tried and tested for a long time, and during World War I, it was this step-by-step approach of intervening in the war, doing business first and then fighting a war, which made the Americans make a lot of money.
It can even be said that without the rise of the Chinese, this war, they will still be the final winners, because no one can defeat the United States, at least not the Germans.
But the emergence of China quickly changed all this, the economy quickly lost its advantage, the world's first industrial manufacturing technology and scale were successively snatched by the Chinese, and then science and technology, major scientific and technological achievements, urban construction, social living standards, and even the entire social productive forces were rapidly surpassed.
At the moment of being dragged into the war, the Americans found themselves in a quagmire and very passive, but the Chinese did not stop and wait for this tired American cow, but rushed forward quickly.
The war has hindered the development of almost all important countries in the world, but it has only gradually pushed the Chinese from a world power to an empire.
"Mr. President, are you worried about the war on the front? Although the Chinese dragon is too deep into the war in Europe, it does cause great adverse effects, and may even lead to our defeat. That's what I suggested before,"
Eisenhower couldn't help but be shocked, couldn't it be that the secret road was really about to carry out the armistice negotiations?
He was well aware of the difficulties of the American political axe and the Allies, and was by no means much stronger than the Nazi legions, although they were not invaded by the flames of war, but the Nazi legions had almost all of Europe's rich regions, and their industrial capacity and war potential were not even comparable to those of the United States.
The strength of the United States lies in a very complete industrial system, as a complete country that has not encountered war, so that it can mobilize the resources of many Allied countries, produce them in the United States, and transform them into war weapons and materials to supply the Allied forces in World War II.
It's just that now, the war is stalemate, and no one dares to say how soon the war will end, especially with the arrival of reinforcements from the Germans without fear, and the morale of the Allies has a tendency to gradually weaken.
"The front-line war is naturally my concern, but this time the matter is more serious, and it may even threaten the peace and tranquility of the United States in the near future, it is a mortal threat."
Truman said very seriously, his tone was unmistakable, and he slowed down, and walked to the French bench next to him and sat down, and Eisenhower followed.
"Mr. President, is there something going on that that threatens the safety of our homeland?"
Eisenhower speculated that the Chinese had plans to attack the United States from the direction of the North Pacific.
However, he believes that this may not be a big surname, and although the closest Chinese are to U.S. territory is only across the Bering Strait, he has not received any reports of large-scale Chinese build-up in the Pacific.
"It's not. This time the situation is even more serious. Truman took a deep breath and said solemnly, "General, I hope that whatever I say next, you will not reveal it to anyone but me, even if anyone else already knows the secret. ”
"I assure you, Mr. President, that I will not say anything even if Mr. Vice President asks me." Eisenhower stood up and gave a military salute and replied solemnly, he had rarely seen Truman have such a serious moment.
Truman nodded and said slowly, "According to reliable information, Hitler personally secretly announced at the Nazi six-member meeting that the conditions of war given by Chinese were not to take Moscow at the most critical moment, nor to attack the flank, but to ......"
Hearing this, Eisenhower suddenly had a very bad feeling, as a wise commander-in-chief, he guessed the poison gas bomb and other biological weapons for the first time.
"According to Hitler's personal speech at the six-member conference, Zhang Shusheng promised the Germans that at the most critical moment they would use nuclear weapons, that is, the atomic bomb we are developing, for the nuclear bombing of Moscow, Leningrad, and London."
As the Supreme Commander, as someone who knew the inside story of the former American atomic bomb project, Truman knew very well what the atomic bombing meant.
"What? The Chinese want to use the atomic bomb!! ”
Although it was known for a long time that the Chinese had such a powerful secret weapon, Eisenhower could not help but stand up and let him be the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, and he could not calm down.
What does the atomic bomb mean? It means the death of thousands of people in a short period of time, it means nuclear radiation, it means that the Allied Heavy Army, which is actively defending or charging, can be easily wiped out by an atomic bomb.
Even, he thought of the United States, yes, Mr. President is right, maybe one day, the atomic bomb will fall on the head of the United States, and at that time, the American atomic bomb may not have been finally developed.
It was indeed a major incident that endangered the most fundamental interests of the Allies and endangered the security of the United States at home.
"Mr. President, since Hitler dared to make a secret announcement at the Council of Six, it is likely that this matter is true. We played a scene with the Chinese seemingly by chance, we avoided the Chinese's elite expeditionary force, and the Chinese reduced casualties and let the Germans charge, and they were willing.
However, this does not mean that the Chinese want the war to last forever. According to the secret agreement reached between China and Germany, China and the European Federation will divide the continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, and so far, their only enemy on the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa is only us, and there is no local opposition.
So, I think we should be extremely wary of this kind of commitment by the Chinese. ”
As soon as Eisenhower thought about it, he put forward his own suggestion, this kind of thing must not be believed that Hitler is lying, because the Chinese really have enough reasons to use the atomic bomb to end the war early, and to make the situation extremely favorable to the Chinese and the Axis powers.
It is not so much that the two believed what Hitler said, but that it was Hitler's leak at this secret meeting that pointed out all the possible surnames of the Chinese using the atomic bomb. They believed that the Chinese, that Zhang Shusheng, the ruler of the Eastern Emperor, would definitely do that.
"The biggest reason why the Chinese dare to use the atomic bomb is that people don't know its terrible lethality, and no one will be keen to stop a gun until it kills someone, and until someone dies, people will condemn and fear it." The Chinese have taken the lead. ”
Only then did Truman realize how wise and forward-looking the nuclear weapons development program that the US political axe had advanced together in spite of it, but after it was destroyed by the Chinese, all this temporarily came to naught.
Even if the atomic bomb is successfully developed in two years, who knows what will happen in two years?
What we need to be concerned about now is not how long the US atomic bomb will be successfully developed, but when the atomic bomb that the Chinese have successfully developed will fall on the British, the Americans, or a large number of the United States.
"Mr. President, we must not allow such a thing to happen, I think that maybe we can talk to the Chinese about the conditions, their talented reader Emperor Zhang Shusheng, is the supremacist of interests, as long as there are enough interests, we will definitely be able to change the original intention of the Chinese."
Eisenhower was well aware that since the Soviet Union was not ultimately preserved, it was time to consider Britain and the United States. Otherwise, it will be the least cost-effective to end up in a nuclear war.
Although, in this era, except for the Chinese, no one knows how powerful the atomic bomb, or even the more advanced and powerful hydrogen bomb, is.
"We really should keep Britain, although the Chinese have a very big appetite, they need at least a few decades of digestion, otherwise, the huge half of the Eurasian and African continents can bury any of their ambitions."
In fact, by now, Truman had a solution in mind.
"My general, just now, my intelligence officer reported to me that the British had received accurate information, and by this time Churchill should have been in disarray."
The news was ordered by Truman himself to be sealed with the highest absolute seal, and even the British did not receive the shared information, although the British agents penetrated more deeply, but the time to get the information was much later.
No one knows whether it was the leak of the six-member conference group, or the leak of the most senior generals of the Chinese expeditionary force, or even the leak from within China.
Even the fighting on the front line was slowed down, and although it was burning again, the top brass of the countries was so cautious that even Stalin could not wait to retreat again.
It was so unsafe, and although Leningrad was the stronghold of the Soviet army, it was even more dangerous than the power of the atomic bomb.
And the British were like a fire for the first time, almost did not jump into the Atlantic, and the Chinese actually set one of the targets of the atomic bomb to London.
Churchill immediately chose to fly to Washington to have the highest level of secret talks with Truman of the Central Powers.
Later the day after the Americans received the information, the United States conveyed a certain degree of goodwill to the Chinese political axe through the embassy of a neutral country in China, and a non-governmental academic exchange group composed of well-known medical figures was preparing to make an academic visit to China in the name of the Red Cross.
