Chapter 484: On the British Nuclear Sea

Just after the empire crossed 8,000 kilometers and launched a thunderous strike on Washington and Chicago from thousands of miles away, the Imperial Television announced this major news to the world as soon as possible, and unlike the previous high-ranking officials of the empire, this time the nuclear strike was recorded live from beginning to end, allowing the empire's nearly 800 million citizens and people all over the world to see the supreme power of the Chinese empire.

The impact of crossing continents and oceans, reaching an ultra-long range of 10,000 kilometers, and the tremendous power of the nuclear warhead on board the world is even more sensational than the explosion of the first atomic bomb in Tokyo.

Washington was plunged into hell, the center of the nuclear bombing centered on the neighborhood near the White House was razed to the ground, and many military and political figures, including President Truman and MacArthur and other current US military and political giants, died. The worst ones were directly carbonized, the lucky ones died from the blast wave, the unlucky ones died from radiation, or they were crushed by the collapsed buildings.

As one of the three giants in the United States, Eisenhower was the first to receive the report.

"Knock knock!!"

Eisenhower was just about to turn off the lights and go to bed when a quick and loud knock on the door alarmed him, and when he put on his clothes, he saw a staff officer and a major general standing in the doorway with mournful faces.

"General, we just received information that Washington has been attacked by the Chinese!"

The staff officer reported sadly.

"No way, God, it's impossible!! How could the Chinese launch a nuclear attack on Washington, they would never have done it. Eisenhower was so shocked that he felt a dizziness in his head, and even a man of high positions like him could not accept this sudden shock.

"And they did, General. The garrison near Washington was not alerted to any air strikes, and the radars and the fleet on duty did not detect anything unusual.

Preliminary estimates suggest that the Chinese used some new type of weapon, perhaps a missile attack on Washington. Because a soldier on duty saw a strange suspected rocket object falling in the sky, a huge nuclear explosion immediately occurred. ”

Now that just ten minutes have passed since the nuclear strike, it is not easy to have these preliminary reports.

"Let's go, go to the command center!"

Soon, Eisenhower arrived at the command center, which was already in chaos, with constant ringing telephones, and staff officers and officers constantly communicating with various parts of the United States, various departments, in a mess.

Eisenhower also heard a more detailed report.

He has already come to a preliminary conclusion about the whole affair.

Just now, the Chinese used some new weapon, suspected missile, to carry out a nuclear strike on Washington, perhaps from Cuba or Mexico with a nuclear warhead.

Judging from the observation of the army and the high-altitude observation of the aircraft at a very distance, the nuclear bomb used by the Chinese this time was at least 250,000 tons of TNT equivalent, and a considerable area of the entire Washington was razed to the ground.

"General, we can already confirm that many important military and political figures, including President Truman and General MacArthur, have been killed in this nuclear attack by the Chinese."

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Eisenhower nodded, this is actually a very simple logic, if high-ranking officials like Truman and MacArthur, if they were not killed, there was such a shocking event as a nuclear attack on the capital, they must have contacted themselves as soon as possible.

After all, Eisenhower was the first man in the military.

"Immediately convene an emergency military meeting, and in my name order all localities immediately enter a state of military control to maintain order. Also, contact General Patton right away, we need to announce an unconditional surrender as originally planned. ”

Now that the president is gone, the military trident has died, and the remaining Admiral Patton is still in Europe, and the members of both houses of Congress are almost dead, in this case, according to American law, he, the head of the military, has the power and duty to take over the supreme power of the country in wartime.

More communications equipment was set up at the Alaska Homeland Defense Center, and within minutes, various states, especially the garrisons, were in contact with the Alaska Homeland Defense Center.

"We need an urgent radio address to inform every citizen of America of this disaster."

Before preparing for the meeting, Eisenhower was not in the slightest happy that he had become the supreme or even the only supreme power in the United States, and if he had changed the capital, the capital would have been bombed into ruins, and unless even the most ambitious people would have been happy.

At the same time, it occurred to him that the unconditional surrender should probably not be delayed until tomorrow, and perhaps the Chinese should be contacted as soon as possible, although it would be very difficult, and at this time, it would not be so easy to find a neutral country, and there would be no direct channels for communication," ...... The great United States is facing an unprecedented difficult time, and we will inherit President Truman's will to make a choice for the fate of the United States at a critical time......"

However, just five minutes into the meeting, Eisenhower was interrupted by a staff officer who slammed the door.

"Emergency, Chicago has just been hit by a nuclear strike by the Chinese."

The boom was like a small nuclear bomb falling into the conference room, and if the explosion in Washington was a shock, then the nuclear explosion in Chicago was terrifying to the extreme.

Where will the next city be?

Are the Chinese going to completely raze the United States?

The expressions of the crowd were very rich, including major generals, even lieutenant generals, legislators from Alaska and nearby states, and representatives of businessmen, all of whom invariably showed shocked and frightened expressions. Some were dazed, some were panicked, some were sluggish, some were panicked, some were staring at the staff officers, and many more were staring at Eisenhower.

It took a full two minutes for Eisenhower to take off his military cap, stand up, salute the American flag hanging in the room, and turn to the people in the room and say, "I'm going to give an emergency radio address to the whole world, and first, I'm going to announce that I'm going to be the Supreme Commander of the United States in a state of emergency." Second, on behalf of the United States, I will announce my unconditional surrender to China. ”

It wasn't until Eisenhower said this that everyone present seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and completely relaxed.

Yes, at this point in the war, it is time to surrender.

Before the urgent public surrender by radio had even begun, Eisenhower had already contacted General Patton, who expressed full support for Eisenhower's unconditional decision.

He believed that at this time, it was time to persist in carrying out President Truman's unfinished legacy.

Ten minutes later, while snowflakes were receiving calls and radios from all over the country, Eisenhower received a telegram from Chinese agents.

“…… Their Imperial Television was broadcasting images of a nuclear strike, and they used a nuclear missile with a range of 10,000 kilometers to carry out nuclear strikes on Washington and Chicago from their homeland......"

When Eisenhower read the telegram with a range of 10,000 kilometers, he only said one sentence, "This Oriental Dragon has become the Oriental Dragon...... It is fascinated by the world, but we wake it up. ”

Just when the Americans were frightened by two atomic bombs in a row and were ready to announce their unconditional surrender overnight, the British had just gotten the news.

"Prime Minister, we just got the intelligence that the Chinese used nuclear missiles to launch ultra-long-range nuclear strikes on the Americans' Washington and Chicago. The practical flight range of the missile is at least more than 8000 km. ”

General Montgomery, along with the officers of the intelligence services, reported the shocking news to Churchill.

"A missile with a range of more than 8000 km? Missiles with nuclear warheads on board!! ”

When Churchill heard the news, he almost couldn't believe that, according to his common sense, how could a nuclear bomb be loaded on a super missile with a range of 10,000 kilometers with the weight of a nuclear bomb.

What was the missile range of the Germans?

"Isn't the range of the most advanced missiles of the Germans only 400 km?"

Churchill was shocked and asked.

General Montgomery shook his head and said, "The scientific and technological level of the Germans has been far surpassed by the Chinese. They can develop missiles with a range of more than 400 kilometers, and the Chinese can develop missiles with a range of 4,000 kilometers, 8,000 kilometers, or even 10,000 kilometers.

The Germans are only a formidable enemy, while the Chinese are an opponent like God. ”

"General, I'd like to hear your opinion."

Montgomery, "The Chinese are fulfilling their promise to negotiate nuclear leases, and according to Hitler's hatred of us, the next target is most likely to be us." London will probably be their target.

Mr. Prime Minister, we should evacuate London immediately, hopefully it will be too late! ”

What he didn't say was that at present, the political axe did not dare to announce this matter to the people overnight, and although the people would definitely get information from the Chinese's radio broadcasts that could cover the whole world, at least it was not completely chaotic for now.

Otherwise, it will definitely cause panic.

"It's the best way!"

Churchill was also a hero-like figure, and he was able to make a quick decision at a critical moment, "Contact the Americans immediately, and their General Eisenhower should be in Alaska to inspect air defense." We need the most up-to-date and comprehensive collaboration.

Two quarters of an hour after we left London, we announced an emergency military evacuation of key cities such as London and Birmingham. ”

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

The officials on the side agreed, but in fact they thought in their hearts that if they left this ghost place early, London would not be far from the tragic situation in Washington.

After all, if they were the enemy, they would also choose to strike at the most important and least vulnerable places of the enemy, just as the Germans were happy to use missiles to attack London, and although most of the missiles could be shot tens of kilometers away, Hitler was still willing to spend a lot of money and constantly launch V-2 and V-3 ballistic missiles.

Churchill did not delay, and together with Montgomery, quickly boarded the army car, and a large number of troops cleared the way, and quickly fled in the direction of the outside of London. The underground command center, which can only defend against ordinary aerial bombs, is no longer safe, and the farther away the better.

And what he didn't know was that just 10 minutes ago, far away in the Kanas region in the western part of the empire, somewhere in a strategic ballistic base, in the command center, Qian Wensen, who was specially invited, stood beside a lieutenant general of the Strategic Rocket Forces, with the greatest honor, in his most determined voice, announced: "10, 9...... 3, 2, 1, ignition! ”

Qian Wensen firmly announced that the empire's third Vostok-42 intercontinental missile had been launched from a certain strategic missile base in Kanas and was speeding toward London.
