Chapter 455: The U.S. Army Suffers
Presidential Office Building, Washington, USA.
Jack, who had just heard the shocking news from an unfamiliar radio channel, rushed straight from the second floor of the White House to the oval-shaped presidential office conference room, where President Truman was listening to recent developments in negotiations with the Chinese.
"Mr. President, judging from the progress of the negotiations, we are very confident that we will make a breakthrough in the new round of negotiations, and we will Chinese ......"
With a bang, Jack slammed open the office door, and since he was the White House special intelligence commissioner and one of the officials stationed in the White House, the staff at the door did not stop him.
As soon as the door slammed open, many American [***] dignitaries looked at the intelligence commissioner who broke in in a panic and broke in.
Everyone was slightly stunned, no one would think that this intelligence commissioner was crazy, it could only mean that something important had happened.
"Mr. President, gentlemen, I have very bad news."
Jack didn't need to say much at all, he directly raised the radio in his hand high, and then turned up the sound to the maximum, just now because he accidentally touched the sound button because he was running, he had been on all the time, and he didn't dare to turn the channel away at all, for fear that it would disappear at once.
“…… Finally, I would like to say to the compatriots of the Chinese nation all over the world, no matter where you are, whether you are at home or abroad, please remember that the empire has the ability to protect you, the empire has the ability to protect you, and the empire has the ability to bring you peace and tranquility, prosperity and well-being.
Thank you. ”
A speech came over the radio that wasn't too unfamiliar.
It is not strange because this voice is called the four major voices of the world along with Hitler's voice.
The voice of Zhang Shusheng in China, the voice of Hitler in Germany, the voice of Roosevelt in the United States, and the voice of Churchill in Britain were once called the four major voices that changed the world by newspapers.
Every time any of them makes a public statement, especially when they speak to the whole country or even a continent through the radio, it often means changing the military and political landscape of the world or region.
And the Chinese are more technologically advanced, and they are able to send their own broadcast radio waves to most parts of the world, which is not a big secret to these dignitaries.
It is strange because not every military and political dignitary understands Chinese, but at least some people do, and Truman is one of them.
Moreover, what made Jack more depressed was that he had only started when he heard it, but this Eastern Führer didn't talk nonsense at all, putting aside his intelligence judgment and the time he was stunned, when he ran to the president's office, the other party was almost finished.
"Mr. Jack, is there anything wrong with Zhang Shusheng's speech?"
Truman hurriedly asked, he didn't think Zhang Shusheng would be so bored as to suddenly make a speech that was broadcast to the whole country or even the world.
You must know that this Eastern emperor, who is known as more mysterious than Hitler, more powerful than Roosevelt, more gentlemanly than Churchill, and more talented than Stalin, acts in a low-key manner, and is more like an emperor than the top leader of any country.
Jack felt a kind of breathless suffocation, Truman's question made him suddenly calm down, maybe it was the long-term intelligence work experience that made him regain his composure, took a deep breath, he said as quickly as he could in his normal voice, "Mr. President, just now I heard on the radio that Zhang Shusheng announced that their nuclear bombers had just dropped two atomic bombs with an explosive yield of 500,000 tons TNT over Tokyo. ”
"Boom ......"
In an instant, the entire office was as if a third atomic bomb had been dropped, and many military and political dignitaries were shocked in different ways, some widened their eyes, some stood up in shock, some people slammed the coffee cups that had been raised in their hands, and some people were about to put their pipes in their mouths but they were sent to their noses...... "This can't be, Mr. Jack, I, I mean ......"
"No, no, no, this, this without any warning......"
"We didn't get any information, this, this can't be ......"
Many officials had expressions of disbelief, and you must know that among the officials present was Lieutenant General Beyoncé, director of the Strategic Services Bureau in charge of US foreign intelligence work, who also looked inexplicable.
It's not that they didn't think that Chinese might one day use nuclear weapons, and this negotiation was to prevent Chinese from using nuclear weapons in the European theater, but they didn't expect that all of a sudden Chinese they would use nuclear weapons, and it was in a place that people didn't expect at all, this ...... Unlike the panic of the crowd, Truman was startled at first, and then calmly asked, "When did this happen?" their nuclear bombardment. ”
"The Chinese announced that they had just used a nuclear strategic bomber of the T-40 modification to drop seven atomic bombs of varying yields over Tokyo, and Zhang Shusheng also openly declared that they would drop a total of seven atomic bombs."
Jack felt some chill in his limbs, a total of seven atomic bombs, only then dropped 2 atomic bombs, then the remaining 5 atomic bombs where the Chinese will drop them?
An unknown, fear of the atomic bomb spread infinitely in his mind.
At that moment, the office door was pushed open again, and two White House staff members walked in quickly, walked up to Truman, looked nervous, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Gentlemen, the intelligence services have received definite information that the Chinese dropped two atomic bombs over Tokyo at about 8 o'clock Hanjing time, China, and it is not clear what the Chinese will do next."
Justman couldn't help but rub his head and said with a serious expression.
As a result, a new emergency meeting was held on the spot, attended by a few more intelligence officials, and two senior nuclear scientists and experts on China, who were also invited to the meeting.
As president of the United States, Truman was most afraid of where the remaining atomic bombs of the Chinese would go.
"Gentlemen, I have decided to contact Chinese urgently, first by urgently meeting with the unofficial representative of China in the United States, and at the same time ordering the negotiating team in China to immediately go to the Chinese to seek a meeting, so as to make the greatest possible effort to prevent them from choosing Europe as the next target of a nuclear attack...... Kaul. Mr. Hall should shoulder this great responsibility.
At the same time, I ask Europe, India, and the United States to immediately enter the highest state of alert!! ”
Thousands of miles away, China and the United States do not communicate on the telephone, and there is not even an official radio emergency standing contact method, that is, no matter how anxious the US top brass is, no matter how worried Truman is, there are only two ways for him to contact China's political axe as quickly as possible. One is to order the high-ranking officials of the negotiating group in China to immediately seek to meet with China's political axe, and the other is to contact the so-called unofficial representative of China's political axe in the United States.
However, just five minutes later, an official again sent a number of pieces of information, some from the United Kingdom, and the fastest one from China, which was sent back by the negotiating team. Former Secretary of State, Head of the Negotiating Mission. In the telegram, Mr. Hall reported the emergency, requesting instructions from Washington and stating that he had spoken by telephone with the Chinese Foreign Ministry, expressing serious concerns and requesting an urgent meeting.
"Gentlemen, the Chinese agreed with Kaul . Hall's request to meet. ”
After giving the corresponding order to the negotiating team, the staff hurriedly left to send a telegram, and President Truman simply said that a meeting had not been about 20 minutes before it was interrupted in various ways. But the news of the third bomb drop by the Chinese has not come for a long time.
Everyone was terrified, for fear that the next news would be even more unacceptable bad news.
At the same time, the White House's orders were sent as quickly as possible to the American garrisons in Europe, India, and even Hokkaido.
Here, the Americans have a total of 5 divisions, and they are ostensibly the military forces that the Americans 'did not have time to withdraw', but in fact they deliberately stayed here to observe the follow-up situation, that is to say, if the war goes well, the European war prevails, and even Germany admits defeat, then these five divisions are likely to join the attacking force of the Japanese and launch another attack on China, at least in the Far East.
In addition, there is a semi-air force stationed here, and the main station is in Sapporo, and the air force of nearly one air force is stationed in the Sapporo area.
There are also more than 40,000 non-military forces, paramilitary forces responsible for logistics, ground support, airfield air defense, etc.
In other words, although the U.S. military seems to have withdrawn from the U.S. military, it actually retains a strong military force in the Hokkaido region, one and a half air forces, plus about 100,000 U.S. troops.
Tokyo has just been bombed, and even the most stupid Americans can think of Sapporo, where the danger index is as high as that of European battlefields, such as the Leningrad region.
The most important thing is that since the Chinese have already dropped the atomic bomb in Tokyo, they will not even have to bear any additional blame once they drop the atomic bomb on Sapporo again.
Only ten minutes later, Air Force Lieutenant General Hockman, who had received the nuclear attack on Tokyo, confirmed the information, and received an urgent order from Washington, his brow furrowed tightly.
"I have a dangerous instinct that the Chinese's next target is likely to be Sapporo. They have five chances to pick here, five chances to ......"
Compared with the speculation in Washington, Hockman has a more direct personal feeling, and he knows better than Washington the Chinese's hatred of the power of the United States in the world.
If he had been the commander of a nuclear bombing operation and had asked him to choose a few targets for the bombing of the enemy, he would have chosen Sapporo, and that was from the enemy's point of view.
"Order, immediately take off all the aircraft capable of taking off, turn on the radar at maximum power, prepare the barracks for emergency evacuation, and the command ready to transfer ......"
It was the biggest decision he could make, after all, the time was so tight that no one knew if Chinese would come tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the afternoon...... Of course, he could not have guessed that the bombing of Sapporo was carried out at the same time, only 30 minutes later than Tokyo.
At around 8:55 a.m., a pitch-black nuclear bomber, the T-40 modified nuclear bomber numbered A, began to lower its altitude over Sapporo, Hokkaido.
"Report to the Eagle's Nest, A has arrived over Sapporo, ask for instructions, ask for instructions."
"Eagle's Nest received. A, the bombing operation in the direction of Tokyo has been successfully achieved, please reduce the altitude as originally planned. Repeat and lower the height as originally planned. ”
"Yes, A understands."
After hearing the news that the successful explosion had been carried out in the direction of Tokyo, Major Liang Zhigao, the commander of the No. A nuclear bomber, took a deep breath, felt a heavy responsibility, and calmly ordered: "All crew members pay attention, Tokyo has exploded, and it is our turn to be next, prepare to reduce the altitude." ”
