Chapter 459: Japan's Surrender I

On July 1, 1947, the Chinese Empire dropped four atomic bombs over Tokyo, Sapporo and Kyoto in one go, and the super-powerful atomic bombs destroyed these three cities in an instant, losing more than half of the 100,000 American troops near Sapporo, and most of the rest were disabled and irradiated.

In the three cities, at least 1 million people were killed as a direct result of the nuclear explosions, and countless more people were exposed to radiation and injured. Since they do not have the ability to provide medical aid and rescue under the conditions of nuclear war, it is expected that more people will die in this unilateral nuclear war one after another, and as victims of nuclear war, they will make tremendous textbook-level contributions to all mankind.

When the news of the nuclear bombing was first publicly announced by the leaders of the Chinese Empire to the entire Chinese people and the whole world, the explosions in the two cities were announced by Premier Zhou Guolai and Vice Chairman of the Supreme People's Committee Sun Changqing, that is, in just half a day, Yuben was almost attacked by large-yield atomic bombs.

The direct damage caused by the explosion cannot be counted for the time being, but strong shocks have been detected at seismic observation stations in many places in China, and it is expected that the agglomeration of the area may have been affected to a certain extent, and there may be frequent occurrence of common geographical disasters such as volcanoes and earthquakes in the future.

When the world learned of this news, dozens of [***] broke out, and people who had long had enough of this world war took to the streets, demanding that the political axe negotiate with the Chinese in exchange for 'security guarantees against nuclear attack'.

The Chinese suspended the nuclear attack, but clearly told the world that there were still three atomic bombs to be dropped in this nuclear bombing plan, which undoubtedly hung the sword of Damocles over the heads of the people of the world.

The most nervous countries are undoubtedly the British, the Americans and the Soviets.

These four countries are currently the most likely countries in the world to be hit by a nuclear attack, both geographically and in terms of hostile relations.

He said that he had already tasted four, so he was naturally most worried about the fifth or sixth atomic bomb and the seventh atomic bomb falling. The British were worried about the unilateral nuclear intimidation of the Germans, not to mention the Soviets, the army was still at war with the Chinese, and the Americans were no better.

The entire United States, whether it is the more than two million American troops in the European theater, the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean, or Alaska, and even the western United States, the central United States, are under the deterrence of Chinese nuclear bombers.

The Chinese Far East is only a few dozen kilometers away from Alaska, and once they deploy the T-40 strategic nuclear bomber in the Far East and take off directly, it will be easy enough to carry out nuclear strikes on the Midwestern cities of the United States.

From the point of view of the antagonism between the enemy and the enemy, the Americans, who were more powerful and hostile, were more frightened of the threat of atomic bombs than the British, who had to fly over Europe to strike.

New York, Washington, San Francisco, Los Angeles...... Mass demonstrations erupted in almost all major cities in the United States, and they continued continuously, even with the police and military joining in.

In the eyes of the Americans, there has always been no racial enmity between China and the United States, and they belong to the type of negotiation that can solve the problem, and they demand thorough negotiations with the Chinese, a truce, even if it is a unilateral surrender.

It all came so fast that just the day after the explosion, the front of the White House in Washington was surrounded by an angry crowd, the heavily armed army was shaken, and the constantly complaining soldiers were replaced.

The people were on the lawn in front of the White House, blocking the door to prevent the leaders of the White House from leaving, but welcoming the officials into the White House for a meeting and letting them discuss the results.

"Negotiations!! Negotiation!! We want peace......"

"Negotiate with Chinese, we want a truce, truce ......"

Angry Americans, from office white-collar workers, political axe employees, to police, traffic police, workers, and students, have all taken to the streets and marched around, and key political areas such as the White House are full of people.

"Why are you blocking us, we want to see the president!"

The people angrily questioned the soldiers on the other side, and the soldiers had been ordered to push the bayonets to the muzzle of the guns, and although they did not shoot, everyone knew that the army could be ordered to open fire at any time.

This is the liberal United States, which will also point its guns at the people when necessary, otherwise, it will really only be for the president to talk to the people.

"I'm sorry, it's an order."

A major officer shook his head and replied with a blank expression.

"Did the superiors raise you, or did the American people raise you? Is it the president who pays more taxes, or the people who pay more taxes. ”

"Get out of the way, or you'll ...... with us"

"Sorry......"

The situation has been deadlocked, but it is true that some soldiers couldn't help but put down their guns, but in the blink of an eye, they were captured by soldiers wearing white armbands and temporarily detained.

The guards of the presidential palace were absolutely elite, but in the face of such a sudden march, they were also inexperienced and unprepared, not only officers, but even more ordinary soldiers, who had a hard time accepting and pointing their guns at the free American people.

…… Looking out the window at the sea of people just over 50 meters away, Truman felt for the first time that the United States was also a populous city.

The angry masses, who from time to time tried to storm the army's lines, did not intend to rebel, and Truman knew that they wanted to 'talk to themselves face to face'.

Behind him were the members of the high echelons of wartime power, including Commander Eisenhower of the Army, Commander of the Navy, Niemitz, Chairman of the Joint Staff Council, and Secretary of State...... Everyone is at a loss, and the situation is changing faster than people can imagine.

If the Chinese dropped only one atomic bomb, then the situation could be salvaged, or the atomic bomb was only one-tenth or less, or they dropped the atomic bomb at one time.

However, there are no ifs in the world, and the Chinese cannot have only a few atomic bombs, and they and the Americans are not friends, but enemies.

The people are aware of the crisis, and the politicians are even more aware of the crisis.

"Mr. President, the Far East has just sent back information."

A staff member walked up to Copeland, director of the US Strategic Intelligence Agency, and after the director glanced at it, his expression moved, and he got up and said.

As soon as he heard the word Far East, Truman's heart jumped, and he hurriedly threw away the demonstrators outside, turned around, "What's the news?" ”

"The Chinese's Far East Air Force moves frequently, and it is suspected that some T-40 strategic bombers take off and land at various airfields in the Far East." Copeland said worriedly, do the Chinese really want to choose the Americans to open the knife?

"Can you tell what kind of plane it is? Is it a nuclear strategic bomber? ”

Truman asked anxiously, and the others looked at Copeland very eagerly.

Copeland handed a few photos to the people around him, including the two military scientists, the president's scientific adviser, and other military and political officials.

"Mr. President, we don't know what the difference between the Chinese's nuclear bombers and the T-40 is, judging from the pictures leaked by the Chinese live broadcast, they even have the same color, and the pictures and pictures after the leakage prevention treatment are made, and it is difficult to judge whether they are ordinary strategic bombers or nuclear bombers based on their appearance alone."

The president's scientific adviser shook his head and said, and the military experts next to him also agreed that only one T-40 strategic bomber could be seen in the live broadcast of the Chinese, which was dark, and the details of the plane could not be seen clearly, and what they did not know was that they did not even see the nuclear icon on the plane.

"In fact, any T-40 strategic bomber can carry an atomic bomb. It is only that the models may not be comparable, and it is expected that some large-yield nuclear weapons will have to be modified T-40 before they can be loaded. ”

Experts from the army reminded.

Everyone was silent, and Truman was slow to make up his mind, until a staff member walked in again and whispered, "Mr. President, the British have passed a resolution at the wartime cabinet meeting that they can form a joint negotiating team with us to start armistice negotiations with the Chinese." Here's what it takes. ”

"I see."

Truman looked at the specific contents of the meeting that came from the British, and understood the current situation.

The British had already promised in principle to surrender to the Chinese, and the surrender was generally a conditional surrender.

Picking up the document, he said to those present, "Gentlemen and ladies, the British have already made a decision one step ahead of us to conditionally surrender to the Chinese, and this is the content of their meeting.

According to the British, if we do not agree to surrender to the Chinese, they will contact the Chinese on their own and start the negotiation process. ”

"Are the British trying to betray us?"

"They made our decision earlier."

"This is a breach of the alliance agreement."

Seeing that the British had actually made a decision in advance, some of the dignitaries could not sit still, at least their faces could not get over it, and Great Americanism was violated.

"Gentlemen, they have been subjected to the most direct nuclear threat created by the Germans and the Chinese, and a few days ago our agents told us that the Germans were seeking to lease the atomic bomb to the Chinese, and at that time many thought it was just absurd false information, however, I now have reason to believe that the Germans are really doing this, but I don't know if the Chinese will agree."

After Truman finished speaking, he looked back at the surging crowd outside and said, "People's emotions have reached a critical point, gentlemen, please vote, we need to have a result, to announce to them, and indirectly to the Chinese, this difficult decision." ”

Fifteen minutes later, just as the crowd and troops outside the White House were about to erupt into a larger clashes, a whistle sounded, followed by a commanding officer, "Order, immediately withdraw the protective line 30 meters, and Mr. President will deliver an important speech to the people in 10 minutes." ”

It didn't take 10 minutes, just a few minutes, and the reporters of all the newspapers, magazines, and radio stations that had been squatting in the White House quickly gathered around, hurriedly set up their equipment, and prepared for the live broadcast.

Soon, Truman appeared on the steps in front of the White House with a solemn expression, first waving to the American people in front of the White House, and then the speech began.
