10 Downing Street, London, United Kingdom.

The narrow 10 Downing Street, from the original office and residence of the Minister of Finance, to the office and residence of the Prime Minister later, is actually relatively old, and the cramped and poor living conditions have always troubled every Prime Minister.

It was midnight at this time, and in an old room, cramped, it was the cabinet meeting room of the British. Although Britain also established a wartime high command similar to the wartime high command to work with the Allied High Joint Command, cabinet meetings still have an irreplaceable political status for the United Kingdom as a constitutional monarchy.

"Gentlemen, 84 years ago we bombarded the Chinese with warships and artillery, sent them shiploads of opium smoke, and brought back shiploads of silk, silver, and slaves, and although I hate to admit it, the Chinese are indeed unimaginably hostile to us."

At the beginning of the meeting, Churchill made such remarks, and the cabinet ministers who did not know what was going on wondered why the prime minister was playing up the theory of hatred about China.

Soon, Churchill got to the point, "I first talked about the hatred of the Chinese for us in order to announce the next bad news." According to the exact information we have obtained, Hitler declared at a high-level meeting of the Nazi Six that China would use atomic bombs to attack London, Moscow, Leningrad and other places at the most critical point of the campaign. ”

Atomic bomb? Nuclear weapon?

Although the British cabinet ministers are no strangers to the terms nuclear weapons and atomic bombs, after all, the German nuclear program has just been thwarted.

The atomic bomb is mysterious compared to ordinary people, but in the face of rigorous scientific calculations, if scientists can't even estimate the yield and approximate power of the atomic bomb, it can only mean that the whole country has been fooled by nuclear physicists.

Therefore, if we mention the secret weapons of various countries, the atomic bomb must be well deserved, and besides, only one country has it.

"Our agents and American agents have observed a mushroom cloud in the western part of the Chinese a few years ago, which is so large that it can cover the sky, the power of this atomic bomb, and the report in front of your desk also has a joint analysis and evaluation report by ten professors such as McRae, I think you can take a few minutes to see it first."

Churchill said solemnly.

A few minutes later, the ministers put down their reports with solemn expressions, the report was very long, and the final summary paragraph was very visually striking.

“…… If the atomic bomb used by Chinese is in the 20,000-ton class, only 1 bomb is needed to cause heavy losses to London, and 3~4 can completely destroy London, and the resulting nuclear radiation ......"

This passage makes people see many cabinet ministers gasp, if an atomic bomb has a yield of 20,000 tons of TNT, it is already very terrifying, you know, the power of a ton of TNT explosives can make people feel a sense of destruction, during World War I, the British army once carried out such a tunnel blasting in the 60 heights of the Germans, and hit the tunnel under the German position through the tunnel, using thousands of tons of explosives, blowing up the entire 60 heights, That scene of annihilation made many veterans who participated in the battle on the highlands of World War I unforgettable for the rest of their lives.

20,000 tons, you don't have to dig a tunnel, you can throw it directly by plane, you can throw it wherever you want in London, even if you shoot it down from the air, the difference will not be very big. And if the Chinese dropped multiple atomic bombs, wouldn't London have been blown into ruins?

"I would like you to pay special attention to the fact that the TNT yield estimate of the atomic bomb power of the Chinese in the report is only a minimum estimate, and this estimate is based on the design yield of the atomic bomb of the Americans. According to our speculation, the Chinese's atomic bomb is likely to far exceed the scale of this 20,000-ton TNT equivalent, after all, their scientific and technological strength, especially high-end scientific and technological strength, is not comparable to the Americans, to be precise, far exceeded.

We first received information that the Chinese might have successfully developed nuclear weapons, including atomic bombs, in 1942, and in five years, the Chinese may have even developed more advanced nuclear weapons. ”

Buno, Prime Minister Churchill's scientific and technological adviser and a professor from the University of Cambridge, cautioned in particular.

When everyone heard this, there was silence, the power of the atomic bomb does not need to be questioned, from the scientific and technological and economic strength of the Chinese, has been successfully developed for many years, the atomic bomb must be more than 20,000 tons of TNT yield.

Then, if the frenzied Hitler really opened his airspace and encouraged the Chinese to use strategic bombers to attack Britain through the skies over Europe, then Britain would become a hell of a sincere man.

Everyone is not an ordinary person, they are in high positions, and they know that this situation is almost equivalent to no solution, there is no very good defense method, and it is impossible to oppress the Chinese through public opinion, then, there is only one way left.

"Prime Minister, maybe we should talk to the Chinese."

"We may be able to unilaterally negotiate a truce with the Chinese."

"The Chinese will not agree to unilateral armistice negotiations, and their partition agreement with the Germans is doomed to be impossible to agree to us."

…… After a long time, Churchill said, "Negotiation, only negotiation." When the US special envoy met with me just now, he asked us to form a joint negotiating group to negotiate with the Chinese. According to the Americans, the Chinese rejected unilateral armistice negotiations yesterday unless the Allies promised to surrender unconditionally.

In the proposal of the Americans, India and the original were made a condition for negotiations. ”

"Indian ......"

Many British ministers were stunned for a while, although the Allies were coerced by the Chinese and directly attacked by the Germans in India, the entire military force was still very strong.

However, at this time, none of the ministers objected, and they all knew in their hearts that perhaps such negotiations would satisfy the appetite of the Chinese and would not cause the Allies to lose completely.

…… Three days later, Hankyung, Hankyung Mountain.

Ever since the Germans 'leaked' the information that China had promised to attack the Allies with nuclear weapons if necessary, the situation in World War II had secretly swelled with huge waves, and the leaders of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union, in particular, and the military and political leaders felt a burst of panic.

Although the Germans did not know how the information was revealed, Hitler even investigated the senior generals who participated in the six-member conference one by one, but did not find any results, and finally the results of the investigation speculated that the Chinese side might have leaked information.

However, Hitler did not be angry for long, because he found that since the news began to leak, there was a pre-victory madness throughout the Nazi Federation of Europe.

"The Chinese will use secret weapons."

"The Chinese will definitely let us win World War II."

At first, the army was preaching and circulating this theory of victory, then the people, and then Goebbels personally responded, affirming that the Chinese would use secret weapons to help the Axis win the war if necessary.

The Germans were more ferocious, and the Allies were inexplicably stunned and then tenacious, after all, the Allies still had a military force of more than 8 million men on the European continent. The war must go on.

And the Allied people and the army circulated another theory, saying that the Chinese had reached a tacit agreement with the Allied Powers, and the Chinese suspended the military offensive on the Soviet battlefield is a proof, all kinds of rumors, true and false, the Chinese became the focus of the world for a time.

"Chairman of the Committee, the negotiation team of the Allies has arrived in Hanjing, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense have arranged a reception."

Zhou Guolai looked at Zhang Shusheng, who was feeding the fish in the fish tank, and sighed with emotion in his heart, the chairman of the committee played beautifully, and the Minister of Defense Cai Ye next to him was excited, what is powerful, can make the enemy frightened and beg for mercy regardless of his identity, begging for negotiation, this is negotiation.

After Zhang Shusheng finished feeding the fish, clapped his hands, turned around and motioned for everyone to sit, and said, "Nuclear weapons, although they have not been used in war, but their power and explosive yield can be calculated, and nuclear radiation is also obvious.

Knowing that we are going to carry out a nuclear attack, and then being propagated by the Germans like this, they are naturally afraid. ”

In the original history, the Americans kept the atomic bomb a secret, but the Germans, the Soviets, and the British also did not stop researching the nuclear program.

The Americans hid and tucked it until the moment they dropped the atomic bomb on themselves, and it was still the highest top secret.

But Zhang Shusheng is different, what is the real power of nuclear weapons? It's scary.

The people don't know its power, the military and political leaders and scientists just do.

Of course, the atomic bomb had not yet exploded on the enemy's head, and Zhang Shusheng was naturally not stupid enough to think that the Confederate Congress would immediately kneel and cry and shout for surrender, although the hint given to the Americans by the Chinese political axe was that negotiations could be carried out, provided that India and the Confession were made, but he also understood that negotiations would not be made in a day.

"Let's negotiate first, I don't expect to achieve our strategic goals in a day. We must take India without spending a single soldier, and as for the book, it can be later. ”

Zhang Shusheng's idea was that when the empire's army fought, although the casualties were very low, it did not mean that there were no dead. In such a big place as India, with more than 2 million league [***] teams, it is impossible to fight for less than a few months.

Then, it is naturally necessary to make it a core objective of the negotiations.

On the issue of the book, Zhang Shusheng's demands were not high, but he just wanted the allies to sign a memorandum in advance, promising to confiscate all his property in their respective countries after the end of World War II, not one country, but all countries. This issue will then be supervised by the major powers.

Of course, among the other conditions, including the abandonment of nuclear programs, is the most important.

And Zhang Shusheng is not afraid that the allies will not agree to these conditions, because the consequence of violating the treaty is to eat atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, and he will not have any hesitation when the time comes.

It's not that he doesn't want to use the atomic bomb to completely plow the British and American countries, it's just that in his eyes, these are the lands of the Chinese Empire in the future, and there is no need to pollute them and leave them to the Chinese people.
