In the last few days before returning to the United States by plane from China, Dewey had changed from the status of "vice president of the United States of America" to the identity of "president of the United States of America." The topic of discussion with the Chinese side was the topic of China and the United States joining hands to flank Japan in the Pacific Ocean.

One of the ideas was related to the bombing of Japan.

Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, for half a year, the Americans have received only news of continuous defeat in the Pacific. The resentment of the people is already very deep, especially after the bombing of San Francisco and the imminent fall of Hawaii.

In order to boost morale, the US military, Vice Admiral Nimitz, chief of naval operations, put forward a whimsical idea: to dispatch aircraft carriers, load a batch of B25 bombers, take off and release planes in the open sea 950 kilometers from Tokyo, Japan, and bomb Tokyo, the capital of Japan.

This battle plan is nothing more than a historical copy of the Japanese Doolittle bombing of Tokyo.

However, in the original historical plane, when the U.S. Navy was formulating a combat plan, it could enter China and the Soviet Union through Japan after bombing Tokyo.

It's just that in this plane, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, China and the Soviet Union are obviously standing behind Japan, joining forces to pit the United States like Britain and Germany. It is obviously unlikely that the Americans will bomb Tokyo again, as they have done in history.

But everything is man-made.

Before his death, President Wilkie took a fancy to China, which had a greasy relationship with Japan, in order to alleviate the political pressure he was under from the people and political enemies.

In 1935~1936, the U.S. government expressed goodwill neutrality to China. Although the overseas Chinese training camps established by Lin Han with the help of the President of the United States were closed down after only a little more than a year, the overseas Chinese young people trained in these training camps all returned to New China to participate in the battle for the founding of the People's Republic of China during the war. The two sides can be regarded as having a "little good fate".

During Dewey's visit to China, he used this incident as a starting point to discuss the topic of Sino-US cooperation against Japan with the top level of the Chinese Communist Party.

However, in terms of the attitude towards the United States today, after learning about the huge military production capacity of the United States, the top level of the Chinese Communist Party is very aware of the war between Japan and the United States. Japan will surely be defeated. In line with the premise of killing the Americans, the Chinese side will certainly not lightly agree to ally with the Americans "prematurely", so as not to start a war against Japan too early and cheapen the United States.

During Dewey's trip to China, the attitude of the CCP's upper echelons towards him was very clear: they constantly hinted to Dewey that the peace between China and Japan was only temporary, and that China very much wanted to recover Taiwan, but suffered from insufficient naval strength.

On the Chinese side, on the one hand, it does not close the door and hints to the United States that China can go to war against Japan. But on the other hand, it said that due to the strength of the navy, it could not start a war for the time being. It is said that it is okay to ask us to help, but we must give money and benefits -- China's attitude is similar to what the Americans encountered in the Soviet Union.

In order to lure China to declare war on Japan, the Americans drew a big pie to the Chinese side and offered it. After the defeat of Japan, in addition to the return of Taiwan. It also supported the transfer of the Japanese-occupied Dutch Indonesian colony to the Republic of Lanfang.

With regard to the pie drawn by the US side, the Chinese side will certainly not be fooled. And Dewey did not expect that this kind of painted pie would be able to lightly lure China into declaring war on Japan now. He and the people behind him knew very well that even if China and the Soviet Union would declare war on Japan, it would only be in one situation: when Japan was exhausted by the United States, they would end up picking peaches.

The diplomatic objectives of his visit to China at that time were twofold: First, to cut off China's exports of materials and raw materials to Japan, and the United States said that it was willing to buy China's oil and petroleum products exported to Japan at a higher price. Pig bristles and other strategic materials.

The second is that the US wants to borrow from China.

During his trip to China, Dewey hinted to the CCP leadership that the United States planned to send planes to bomb Japan at some point in the future, and that these planes would land in China afterwards. It is hoped that the Chinese side can help receive aircraft and pilots.

This kind of bombing of Japan for political purposes is also a bloody part of the bombing of Japan. Dewey said that all US planes entering China can be handed over to China for full discretion after the fact, that is, they can be given to China for free, and in addition, they can also provide China with a commercial loan with interest on behalf of China as the money to buy the way for the bombing campaign.

The second requirement that Dewey was not whimsical. During his visit to China, he had just received an important piece of information: China and Japan had a secret meeting not long ago, and China proposed to the Japanese side the topic of returning the island of Taiwan, but the Japanese side refused. This information is not false, but it was deliberately leaked to the United States by the Chinese side.

As a result, Dewey and the two men made two demands, and the Chinese side agreed to them before he left.

The Chinese side did not completely oppose the first article, but only said that as long as the price offered by the United States is high, it can be sold to the United States.

The Chinese side completely agreed, and even generously stated that the US side could notify the Chinese side to receive the bombing after it was completed, and even agreed to establish a fast communication hotline between the top leaders of the two sides for this operation. Of course, for political reasons, the Chinese side will unceremoniously confiscate these bombers that "mistakenly entered" China, while the Chinese side will detain the American pilots who "mistakenly entered" China for the crime of smuggling.

The reason why the upper echelons of the Chinese Communist Party are so easy to speak on the second issue is also because of the Taiwan issue. Although the upper echelons have made a decision to send troops to liberate the island of Taiwan by force at the appropriate time. However, he secretly did not give up on putting pressure on Japan, trying to induce Japan to spit out Taiwan's idea in a bloodless way.

After the Chinese side opened the door to bombing Japan, President Dewey, who had returned to the United States, immediately summoned members of the Navy to discuss the matter of a surprise attack on Tokyo, and then the US Navy began to make comprehensive preparations for this operation.

In order to show more "goodwill," less than a week after President Dewey returned to China, the new Chinese side also sent him a big gift: the cruise time schedule and road map of the Japanese air defense planes in Tokyo and Chang Teo.

The plan to send an aircraft carrier group to bomb Japan was only the first fire set off by US President Dewey's "new officer" plan, and when the air raid on Japan was still in the process of being prepared, on the seventh day after returning to the United States, he obtained from Marshall, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, an extremely important secret document signed by former President Wilkie, who had just died: The Manhattan Project.

This plan was launched in September last year after the US Intelligence Department learned that Germany was secretly carrying out research and development of the atomic bomb. (To be continued......)
