The earth-shattering loud noise can't hide from the world at all. Just a short time later, the news of the destruction of Germany's heavy water chemical plant quickly spread throughout the world.

The destruction was so complete that the entire chemical plant was in ruins, and all the heavy water stored in it was gone. Germany's nuclear physical tests were reluctantly terminated.

Enraged, Hitler didn't even have to think about it, and overnight sent bombers with initial night flight capabilities to launch a massive air raid on London. At the same time, submarines in the Atlantic are also infesting more frequently. Vowed to launch a large-scale retaliation against Britain for the heavy water plant incident.

When someone is angry, someone is happy. Churchill and Roosevelt were so excited that they finally pulled out a hidden danger. In addition to being happy, I also felt sorry for the six "Allied heroes" who could not return. Churchill was proclaimed posthumously awarded the title of Honorary Major General of the Allied Forces, forever recorded in the book of heroes of the anti-fascist struggle.

In the afternoon of Washington time, Roosevelt, who was still in good health, was holding urgent consultations with Vice President Truman.

"Even though we have destroyed the heavy water factories in Germany and formed a stalemate with the Axis forces in North Africa, no one can do anything about it in the short term. However, in Southeast Asia, half a month ago, Mountbatten was killed by the Chinese, causing the Southeast Asian allies to lose their overall command and be annihilated in one fell swoop. Today, the only Allied power in that region is India.

And in the Moscow battlefield, Germany and the Soviet Union are also currently in a fierce battle all day long, with casualties on both sides. With the support of Chinese weapons and equipment, Germany's originally long supply lines produced shortcomings. Disappeared with the help of China. The Nordic situation is difficult to break in a short period of time.

However, there was definite information that the German delegation's invitation to China to join the Axis powers was again denied. However, the Germans did not give up, and they came up with the conditions for the partition of the Soviet Union and let China send troops to the Siberian Plain. However, China rejected the German proposal on the grounds that winter was approaching.

In the Far East, the Japanese stopped their assault on Komsomolsk and turned to a standoff. The Soviets also temporarily halted the breakthrough to Komsomolsk, and the two sides fell into a brief period of peace.

Regions of Australia. Our army is also in a state of cessation of war with Japan. It's been half a time. There was no large-scale exchange of fire between the two sides. Moreover, Japan has greatly loosened its grip on our blockade line in the Pacific. ”

After briefly explaining the situation in the world, Truman picked up the cup and took a sip of boiling water.

"The situation in Europe. We don't need to focus much on it at the moment. Even if we don't need it now. The forces of Europe were enough to hold off the German offensive. Our main focus is still on China. "These days, as the situation in the world quietly changes, Roosevelt thinks a lot, a lot, for the first time. He expressed his thoughts: "Judging from Japan's actions in the past half month, it seems that Japan is shrinking its defense line and troops. No longer put on an offensive posture, which is very abnormal. And this move only came after a very interesting sentence. ”

"Oh, what's that?" Truman was also a little puzzled by Japan's move.

Judging from the current situation, Japan must concentrate all its efforts on eliminating Australia's allied forces, so that it can form a real dominance in the Pacific Ocean and form a complete strategic advantage over the United States. But at such a juncture, Japan has quieted down. It is indeed abnormal to give the United States a great respite.

"When the emperor of the East was recovering, he said that the assassination was not over. It is not difficult to hear from the meaning of his words, in that attack, the cat inside was very greasy. Roosevelt sorted out his thoughts and spoke again: "I have talked with Churchill many times before, and I feel that the attack is very abnormal, especially the number of corpses announced by China is seriously inconsistent with the number of personnel we have sent. This matter has always been a question, and now it seems that the answer is obvious. ”

"You mean, in which attack, Japan also intervened. So much so that now I am worried that China will find out and launch self-defense. But isn't it not three hundred taels of silver here? Tell others that your heart is empty. Truman wondered.

"I am sure that there is definitely a shadow of the Japanese in this matter, otherwise, the Japanese will never get into the current situation because of Chen Shao's words." This answer was also affirmed by Roosevelt in the past two days, and naturally there was also the help of intelligence officers.

"No wonder, when you say that, I understand a little bit now." Truman said thoughtfully: "No wonder General Bradley's fleet was not stopped by the Japanese navy and arrived in India without any problems. Originally, I was still wondering what was going on, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Moreover, the Chinese navy has no intention of intercepting, which is very puzzling. ”

As soon as Mountbatten died, the Allies appointed Bradley, a veteran of the U.S. Army, as commander-in-chief of the Indian army, and also sent 100,000 U.S. soldiers to land in India. Resist a possible offensive by the Chinese army in India.

As Truman said, Japan did not seize the opportunity to weaken the United States' military strength, and China was surprisingly indifferent to the 100,000 reinforcements.

"Japan's plan is very simple, and no one is sure what China thinks at this time. However, perhaps this is a further test for the Japanese by China? After all, there are such neighbors, and no one is at ease. Roosevelt had his own ideas, and in his mind, the purpose of China's doing this was most likely to test Japan.

"If this of yours may be true, does it mean that our opportunity has come?" Truman was not a fool, he thought of a lot in an instant, and then said with some excitement: "If China and Japan turn their faces, then we can win over one of them." Perhaps, the war will turn out to be more beneficial to us. ”

Neither of them had any discomfort with the practice of wooing Japan. When the stakes are big enough, a lot of things can be ignored. Everything is just for the sake of victory in the war.

"It's hard to say about this matter now, I always have lingering worries about China, we must maintain enough jealousy, and no one can be careless about China. Otherwise, it is definitely us who die. Roosevelt sighed, a little worried on his face.

"Actually, I've been wondering why there is no news from China since Germany has been researching nuclear weapons. Just by virtue of the Sino-German relationship, China is also definitely researching nuclear weapons. "If someone told Truman more than ten years ago that China would study nuclear weapons, then he would definitely spray that person with blood, and the backward Oriental barbarians, do they have that ability? Now? Even if he told Truman that China had developed nuclear weapons, he would not be too surprised. It would be strange if China was not working on nuclear weapons.

"Yes! That's what worries me, although our Manhattan project is going well, and we managed to extract uranium-235 earlier this year, just a little slower than the Germans. But it will take at least a year to actually build an atomic bomb. However, as soon as I got the successful completion of the Condor project, my eyelids kept jumping, as if something bad was about to happen. Roosevelt touched his eyes and spoke.

"You haven't rested well, the doctor said you better get some rest. I ......"

Before Truman could finish his sentence, the door to the president's office was suddenly pushed open, and an attendant rushed in and exclaimed, "Oh no, the Manhattan project is over." ”

The attendant's panicked look and miserable words shocked the two of them at the same time.

Truman didn't even care about his image, stepped up to the attendant officer, and said angrily: "You say it again." ”

"Yes, yes!" The attendant was startled by Truman's eyes, but he recovered quickly and hurriedly replied:

"The Oak Ridge uranium enrichment plant in Tennessee, the Mann plant in New York, the atomic reactor at the University of Chicago,......, all of these places exploded at the same time. Not only were a large number of scientists killed at the same time, but everything was destroyed. ”

Roosevelt's face turned very pale, and he suddenly collapsed in his chair. When he heard the attendant's words before, he couldn't believe it, but when the attendant said the names of the places, he knew that the nuclear physics research in the United States was over.

Truman's face also became extremely ugly, and he also knew what these place names represented, these places were the main research bases or raw material bases of the Manhattan Project, and now these things are finished, and the Manhattan Project has also been aborted.

And what hurts him the most is that those scientists, they represent the highest science and technology in the United States, and they are the top talents in various industries. It's reimbursed like this, how not to make him feel sad.

If there is nothing to build, so much money has been invested, so it's a big deal to grit your teeth and invest again. But those scientists are dead, and even if they have more money, it will be difficult to restore the current level of nuclear physics research in a short time.

"Did the murderer catch it?" Truman grabbed the attendant by the collar and roared.

"No, no, no." The attendant, who was taken aback by such an action, replied inarticulately.

"Tell the person in charge of the local security that if the murderer can't be caught, I'll personally send them to the gallows. Get lost. As soon as he pushed the attendant officer away, Truman's eyes flashed with infinite murderous intent. I can't control it, and there is no question of whether the United States has a gallows now.

The latter hurried out with a roll and a tumble, already frightened by Truman's appearance. Theoretically speaking, the psychological quality of the acolyte who can be the president should be very good, and the market is very large.

But officially he had seen that the market was too big, and he knew very well the importance of the Manhattan Project. This is what he is now, and he is also afraid of being implicated. After all, there are not many people who know about the Manhattan Project, and he is one of them. If it is investigated, he is also one of the important suspects.

At this time, Roosevelt, who was slumped in his chair, muttered to himself: "It's China, it's Chen Shao, it must be him." Medium..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't get up in one breath, so he fainted. Immediately, Truman's roar was heard again in the president's office: "Doctor, doctor." (To be continued.) )
