Chapter 646: A New Page

The Chinese army stubbornly withstood the German offensive, and then the United States and Britain mobilized a large number of backup forces to completely defeat the German army that rushed into the Ardennes area, and the last bit of German mobile force has completely disappeared, and the Third Reich, which once swept across Europe, has become meat on the chopping block.

The Allied forces and the Soviet Union have already entered the German mainland, and the war has reached this point, and the fate of Germany is already obvious, and there is only a dead end. At this time, it was the Soviets who attacked Germany most actively, and Stalin personally appointed his confidant Zhukov as commander-in-chief, and the Soviet steel torrent rushed towards Germany in depth with an unparalleled momentum.

Roosevelt was not a stupid man, and as soon as he saw Stalin's actions, he already guessed that the Russian master wanted to snatch as much advantage as possible. The greed displayed by the Soviet Union put Roosevelt under pressure, and if the United States wants to lead the world, it must show a strong deterrent, and how can it make countries bow down without strength.

Roosevelt thus became more determined to use the atomic bomb, and he issued an ultimatum to Germany, demanding that Hitler and his Nazi Party must surrender unconditionally or face destruction. The United States has issued this kind of deterrence, and ordinary people just think that they are just plain and cruel words, but high-level figures in various countries do not think so.

Stalin had long known about the US atomic bomb program, and Stalin had ordered Russian scientists to start the research of the atomic bomb, and it was unrealistic for the Soviet Union to quickly make an atomic bomb due to the destruction of the war, but it did not mean that the Soviet Union was unaware of this weapon.

The United States may have already mastered this weapon, so the pressure on Stalin's shoulders is very heavy. China's top brass is more relaxed, China has actually mastered the atomic bomb before the United States, and China has already built five atomic bombs, so no matter what, China can sit firmly in the Diaoyutai platform.

In fact, some research has also been carried out in Germany. So after the ultimatum of the United States. Germany's top brass is also doubting whether the United States has mastered atomic weapons. However, Hitler was still very stubborn, he was adamantly opposed to surrendering to the Allies, and demanded that the German army put up desperate resistance and not be frightened by the big words.

Things have come to this point. The Americans are already ready to shoot and have to send. After the atomic bomb was delivered to Western Europe, a B29 Super Fortress flew to Frankfurt, a major city in southern Germany, carrying an atomic bomb codenamed Little Boy.

A mushroom cloud then rises over Frankfurt, which is relatively flat in southern Germany. In the absence of an effective barrier, the atomic bomb produced an extraordinary lethality, and all the people in the center of Frankfurt were reduced to rubble within a five-kilometer radius, more than 200,000 people died directly from the atomic bomb, and more than 150,000 people were contaminated with nuclear radiation.

In addition, a large number of people who come to the rescue have their skin exposed to radiation due to lack of common sense of protection, and most of these people will also suffer from diseases such as cancer, and this effect can last for decades, leaving a painful memory.

This is the first time that nuclear weapons have been put into actual combat, and the terrifying effect has simply stunned the world. Everyone was completely shocked by the power of nuclear weapons, which can wipe out a city with a single bomb. If there are several dozen such bombs, it will be enough to wipe a country off the face of the earth.

The people within the Nazi Party were also completely stunned, and they did not expect that the United States would really turn this weapon, which only existed in theory, into reality. Germany actually had the hope of mastering such weapons, but Hitler's misjudgment caused Germany to miss the opportunity for German nuclear weapons.

After dropping the first atomic bomb, the Americans immediately issued a statement to Germany that the United States still has a large number of atomic weapons, and if Germany does not surrender as soon as possible, then the next atomic bomb will be dropped on Berlin, Germany, and even the whole of Germany will be wiped out from the whole world.

Just two days after the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Frankfurt, the United States dropped another plutonium bomb on Dortmund, this time Germany was prepared, the population was evacuated quickly, but there were more than 100,000 casualties.

At this time, Qiao Yu suddenly issued a statement in Beijing, announcing that China had also mastered the atomic bomb, and released photos of China's atomic bomb experiments in the northwest.

In the statement, Qiao Yu said earnestly that the atomic bomb is a cross-era weapon, and the huge lethality gives nuclear weapons a special value, and the use of this weapon must be cautious, and rash use is a crime against the entire human race. As a peace-loving country, China will never use nuclear weapons lightly. But at the same time, Qiao Yu also pointed out that if the Nazis are still obsessed, China will have to follow the example of the United States and use nuclear weapons to launch a nuclear attack on Germany!

The United States has mastered nuclear weapons, and everyone can accept it, but when China also acquires such weapons, it is like a bolt from the blue. China's nuclear weapons program has always been based on strict secrecy, and there has been no communication with any country at all, and the world does not even know whether China has a nuclear weapons program, but now that China has suddenly taken out nuclear weapons, how can it not shock everyone.

However, it was the Nazis who were most shocked, the atomic bomb of the United States had already shocked them inexplicably, and now that China has such weapons, will Germany still be able to survive?

After Hitler learned that China's nuclear weapons were real, he knew that Germany had no chance of winning, so he hid in his wolf's den and burned himself to death with gasoline. The Nazi propaganda minister Goebbels and his family all committed suicide, and the top leaders of the Nazi Party also chose to commit suicide, while some people represented by Goering took the initiative to announce their unconditional surrender, and the world war, which had been fought for more than five years, finally came to an end.

The past five years have also been earth-shaking five years, the entire world pattern has changed dramatically, and China's status as a major power that has mastered nuclear weapons like the United States has suddenly become prominent. China participated in the joint occupation of Germany, obtained a considerable amount of industrial technology from Germany, and because the United States used nuclear weapons against Germany, many Nazi scientists became disgusted with the United States, but China, which also has nuclear weapons, became more cautious and cautious about the use of nuclear weapons, and did not use them at will, and many Nazi scientists chose to serve China.

China's industrial and technological capabilities have made another huge leap forward, and of course, due to the problem of distance, the United States and the Soviet Union still each got the largest share. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Franco regime in Spain was also overthrown, in fact, don't look at Franco as an out-and-out dictator, but in Spain under his rule, the people's life is still good, but because the Soviet Union strongly advocated it, and China responded from the sidelines, the United States and Britain had to make concessions and support the Spanish opposition to take Franco.

Spain, having lost Franco, quickly fell into political chaos and became the worst economic state in Western Europe.

The fascist regime was cleaned up, followed by the trial of war criminals, and the Allies formed two courts, Nuremberg and Tokyo, which were dominated by the United States and the Soviet Union, and China and the United States were the leading forces in the Tokyo Tribunal.

In this trial, the Allied side found three crimes, including war crimes, crimes against peace, and crimes against humanity.

According to the crime, war criminals are internationally divided into three categories, namely Class A, Class B and Class C. Class B and Class C war criminals refer to war criminals who committed crimes such as prisoner abuse, massacre of civilians, and looting in violation of the Hague International Convention in World War II. Among them, the officers who command and supervise are Class B war criminals, while the soldiers and non-commissioned officers who carry out specific executions are Class C war criminals.

Class A war criminals, on the other hand, are war criminals who have committed crimes against peace, i.e., those who initiate or plan, prepare, or begin strategic wars with or without a declaration of war, as well as wars that violate international law, treaties, agreements, and oaths, and who participate in the planning and planning of the aforementioned acts. This kind of person is actually high-level personnel, including Emperor Hirohito, several prime ministers before and after, Fumihiro Konoe, Hideki Tojo, Kuniaaki Koiso and others, as well as Kenji Dohihara, Ishine Matsui, Mijiro Umezu, Kantaro Suzuki, Masanobu Tsuji and other military generals and staff officers.

At the Tokyo trial, China added two more charges, supporting war crimes and massacres, which were mainly identified against the chaebol forces, who had in fact been staunch supporters of wars of aggression and who had also benefited greatly from the war and plunder, which had to be punished.

As for the crime of massacre, it is mainly that Japan organized and premeditated large-scale massacres of indigenous people in Nanyang and other regions, and in the past ten years, a total of more than 15 million indigenous people died at the hands of the Japanese, and this kind of behavior objectively cleared the way for China to control the South Seas, but China will not put gratitude on its lips and let them go, and besides, China's failure to use nuclear weapons against Japan is already the greatest mercy.

In addition, the definition of the crime of undermining peace in China has also been expanded, and those literati who are staunch advocates of aggression and expansion, and scholars who are willing to give reactionary propaganda to the Japanese government are also included in the category of war criminals.

In total, more than 30,000 war criminals have been arrested by the Chinese side, and according to Chinese orders, all soldiers and officers who participated in the war of aggression are required to serve hard labor to wash their sins, even if they do not have a clear war crime.

The Americans also hated the Japanese to the core, so the people also very much supported China's attitude of thorough cleanup, and Roosevelt and other American politicians were unwilling, and Roosevelt was very worried that once he did what China did, Japan's backbone would be completely shattered, and there would be no power to balance China in the western Pacific.

Roosevelt's worries were very reasonable, but his body had already lit up a red light, just four months after Germany accepted the surrender, Roosevelt died in office, Vice President Truman was lucky to take over, in order to gain the support of the people, he immediately demanded that the Japanese war criminals be dealt with ruthlessly, and avenge the death and wounding of American citizens in Hawaii.

Soon Emperor Hirohito was sent to the gallows, along with more than 40 people including Hideki Tojo, and a new page was opened in Japanese history, and world history also entered a new era. (To be continued.) )
