It was past eleven o'clock in the evening, Washington time, just ten minutes before Chen Shao unlocked the nuclear weapons code. A tired Truman sat heavily on the couch in the White House.

"Damn congressmen, a bunch of damned Jewish vampires, don't they know that China's nuclear bomb will fall on their heads at any moment? Will more money be able to buy back life? ”

Today's Truman really hopes that the "dictatorial" Roosevelt will be reborn, so that he will not have to fight with those bastards every day.

After China's nuclear attack on Japan, he Truman was ready to sign the instrument of surrender, and he thought that Congress would pass it soon. However, he did not expect that after such a long time, the Congress still did not agree to surrender to China.

This made Truman, the newly inaugurated president, very annoyed, and the situation in front of him was already very clear. The Allies in Europe were already able to defend themselves, and Japan surrendered. South American countries are already on the verge of encroaching on the United States, and Alaska is in jeopardy.

He never imagined that Congress would be so stubborn. As soon as I think of the image of the nuclear bomb exploding in a major American city, Truman's head buzzed.

"Damn, why did we join the war, why did we declare war on China, why, why ......"

The attendant had just come in with a cup of coffee when he heard Truman's undemeanor swearing. But he consciously didn't say anything, put down his coffee and walked out.

Less than a minute after the attendant went out, the five-star admiral Marshall pushed the door in.

Seeing Truman, who looked tired, Marshall sighed and said, "Is it that Congress still hasn't passed?" ”

Truman still had a lot of respect for Marshall. Nodding helplessly, he pointed to the sofa opposite and said, "Please take a seat." ”

Marshall sat down naturally, shaking his head most trumanically, he was not surprised at all, although the United States is a democratic country, his own family knows its own affairs. Congress controls the United States, while conglomerates control Congress.

With the exception of Roosevelt, who served three presidents, no one at all could really ignore Congress. If the current situation is that Roosevelt is here, then Congress will not be able to influence Roosevelt at all. But Truman was different.

After all, it doesn't matter if it's energy or wrist. Compared to Roosevelt, he was not at the same level at all, and he was a new officer, and the war situation made his position extremely unstable. He simply could not check and balance the US Congress, which had been suppressed by Roosevelt for a long time, so he was naturally helpless.

As a think tank by Roosevelt's side. Marshall, of course, knew all about that. In fact, he was also very disapproving of the continuation of the war. From the time when China dropped the atomic bomb on Japan. He understood that the war had come to an end.

In the past, the atomic bomb was only an ideological weapon in the United States. China has already faced the power of this weapon, and before the United States has possessed this weapon, the United States will not be able to compete with China at all, and naturally there will be no chance of victory in the war. Since there is no chance of victory, the best outcome is to end the war as soon as possible and minimize losses.

"Three months, at least another three months. What a bunch of whimsical bastards, the United States will be ruined at their hands. Truman couldn't help but roar, "It will take at least three months to develop the atomic bomb, not to mention whether the United States still exists in these three months, even Germany will develop the atomic bomb faster than us." When the time comes, we will say that we will use the atomic bomb to gain a little bargaining chip, and we will just wait for the country to be destroyed. ”

Since the destruction of the Manhattan Project, the United States has insisted on starting a new atomic energy project, albeit at a much slower pace. The most optimistic estimates are that it will take at least three months before the atomic bomb is actually built.

Originally, this was good news, but after China used nuclear weapons in Japan and the Hanjing Declaration came out, this good news was a nightmare for Truman. Because the US Congress unanimously believes that China's conditions are too harsh, and directly let the United States be a slave for a hundred years, this is what the US Congress resolutely cannot bear.

As long as it persists for three months and the United States also possesses nuclear weapons, it will be able to start a basic confrontational negotiation with China, so that the United States will not have the initiative at all. How much so that the conditions will not be as harsh as they are now.

The intentions of the US Congress are very good, but there is a very important question, can the United States hold out for three months?

This is a major problem.

According to the predictions of American experts, the speed of production of atomic bombs is not fast, starting from the fact that China first dropped a few atomic bombs, and then the number of atomic bombs dropped for the second time was only one, and China refused to wait for Germany to use atomic bombs against Britain. It is quite possible that the atomic bomb dropped on Japan is all that China has in stockpile.

Moreover, according to the thinking of American experts, if China has a lot of atomic bombs, it should strike the United States at the same time as it strikes Japan. American experts agree that China is not unable to attack the US mainland, but because the number of atomic bombs is insufficient.

In the three months since the United States has released its own atomic bombs, China will only be able to produce no more than three atomic bombs, and even if the United States is hit by a nuclear attack, according to the degree of damage caused by the nuclear bombs to Japan, American experts believe that it can completely withstand the harsh conditions compared to the harsh conditions.

Many members of the US Congress agreed with the experts' words one after another, so after several meetings, they basically agreed to continue to persevere, look forward to the release of the United States' own atomic bomb, and then start a dialogue with China in which the United States has a relatively high status.

And many in the military did not think so, and Truman was also against the words of the experts. At this time, he has been trying to convince members of Congress, but with little success. It has not changed the attitude of the MPs.

Today, Japan officially signed the instrument of surrender, and all the attention of China is focused on the United States.

China's attack fleet, a large number of amphibious ships and an unknown number of aircraft carriers, passed through the Panama Canal a few days ago and entered the backyard of the United States.

All the Japanese troops above Australia surrendered to the Chinese army, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers also disarmed.

This series of events made Truman seem to suddenly see that China was approaching the final offensive. Put yourself in the shoes of the United States, if he is the emperor of the East, he will definitely give the United States the final blow immediately.

China's intention not to land on the US mainland from the sea was already very obvious, and the final blow that Truman could think of was nuclear weapons. Every second counts.

Just like today, he Truman spent the whole day maneuvering among the members of Congress, hoping to persuade them as much as possible to immediately accede to China's demands.

Of course, things still didn't go well, otherwise he wouldn't have been so angry.

Many times, Truman wanted to take extreme measures, but they were extinguished by reason.

"I don't know whether we will be annihilated by atomic bombs, but relying solely on conventional means of warfare, in three months, our territory may not even be half." Marshall said that he was noncommittal to the experts' conclusion that China does not have a nuclear bomb for the time being, but according to his vision, the current conventional means of war have already made the United States face a huge crisis.

"We have just received a telegram from General Eisenhower that China had suddenly completed a huge pincer offensive three hours earlier, and that we had nearly a million troops captured by the Chinese army, and that the Eastern Corps had retreated to the Yukon Territory of Canada, and the Southern Corps had retreated to the southern Yukon. As for our Northern and Central Corps, they were all surrounded by China. ”

Truman's face became even more ugly, and he said, "In other words, the whole of Alaska is occupied by the Chinese army?" ”

"I hate to admit it, but unfortunately, Mr. President, it's true. We can't hold Alaska. Marshall shook his head.

"In other words, China could move south at any time and threaten other states." The loss of an uninhabitable Alaska, despite its abundant resources, was acceptable to Truman. Anyway, it was bought from Tsarist Russia for millions of dollars back then. But if other states are also occupied by China, then the United States is in real crisis.

"I think Mr. President, you can rest assured that the Chinese are already facing very serious logistics for attacking Alaska, and I don't think they will risk a long supply line to attack our other states in the south. Especially if winter arrives, their troops in Alaska will be alone, and no supplies will be able to pass through the bitterly cold Siberia and Bering Strait.

I think that next, the Chinese Association will start to prepare for defense and hoard supplies. He categorically will not attack to the south again, because the risk is too great, even if it is China, once there is any carelessness, it will lead to more than 2 million troops being frozen to death and starving to death. ”

Hearing Marshall say this, Truman was somewhat relieved, and Truman still trusted Marshall's vision and judgment.

As Marshall said, the Chinese side has no intention of continuing southward. Because this is not the afterlife, and there are no effects such as global warming. The Bering Strait is only accessible for three or four months a year, and there are many difficulties in passing through this time. As for the rest of the time, it simply cannot be passed. Moreover, the difficulties brought about by the severe cold in all aspects also made the two million troops in the Northeast Theater have no remaining supplies to continue the offensive.

And while they can still pass through the Bering Strait, they will accumulate more cold-resistant materials, and once winter comes, more than two million troops will have to rely on sea supplies. In addition, the northern route in winter has a lot of fog and thickness, the sea conditions are extremely bad, and there are too many accidents.

So, that's why China doesn't plan to go on the offensive. After all, it is more than two million troops, not 20,000 and 200,000. Even the United States in later generations could not afford to eat, drink, and lazar more than two million soldiers on such a route, let alone fight.

Similar to what Marshall said, after taking the whole of Alaska, the Northeast Theater began to go on the defensive, using the remaining more than a month to begin to stock up on winter supplies and repatriate half of the troops home. (To be continued......)
