At first, Washington was still "imagining" that the three atomic bombs delivered to Artura Island had been "poorly kept" and had been detonated, but the relevant science immediately patted its chest and assured the president that the atomic bombs sent to Artura Island were all in a state of dismantling and would never have been detonated before they were assembled.

This guarantee shattered the last vestiges of the president's delusion of self-deception.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, the worst fears had finally been identified. During the past two hours, the warships on the outskirts of Artura Island received intermittent telegrams from the Third Fleet stationed on the island, claiming that they had been attacked by two atomic bombs. In the process of contact, the warships on alert saw a new "sun" rising in the direction of Artura Island, and then the contact between that side was withdrawn and terminated.

Then, as the communication flowed, more and more "bad news" continued to flow from the Pacific Ocean to Washington. "What the hell is going on on Artura Island?" This mystery was quickly solved.

"At least four nuclear strikes have been struck on the island of Artura!"

"The alert ship west of Artura Island spotted a large number of four heavy bombardments flying towards the island before the nuclear explosion."

"After four o'clock local time, radar signals showed that a large number of flying objects were flying towards Artura Island in the direction of the Soviet Union."

"The perimeter alert fleet was attacked by a large number of carrier-based aircraft painted with British and Japanese insignia, and the fleet suffered heavy losses."

The information from all sides is constantly gathered, like a jigsaw puzzle, slowly restoring the whole process of the matter.

And by the time of dinner in the evening, a destroyer that had survived the death, after repairing the ship's radio station, finally sent the most brutal on-the-spot war report to Washington.

"The island of Artura was attacked by atomic weapons by the Eurasian coalition forces, and the other side dropped four atomic bombs on the island in succession! Later, a large number of heavy bombers were sent to attack the fleet moored there with "trackable bombers". The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 7th fleets stationed on the island were basically wiped out.

When I received this telegram, it was dinner time. But the people in the president's office in the White House had no appetite for food at all.

Tomorrow is the national day of the United States, and President Dewey is scheduled to hold an unprecedentedly grand military parade in Washington, D.C. According to the script he had prepared, the parade had an elaborate climactic scenario: three "atomic bomb samples" would be loaded into three large open-top trucks and driven through the streets in front of the White House. Let the atomic bomb be unveiled in public, by flexing the "nuclear muscles" to the whole world. Reveal the prowess of the United States of America.

However, the day before the start of the National Day parade, the Eurasian coalition forces struck and gave him a slap in the face with the result of annihilating four American fleets.

When he succeeded President Wilkie in 1943, who had died of a heart attack, Dewey thought there was no more unfortunate president of the United States than his predecessor, but now he realized that he was wrong.

During this period, President Dewey summoned the British, German, and Soviet ambassadors to the United States. When asked about the matter, the ambassadors of the three countries had received an official notice before this, and the replies were all in unison: the war on Artura Island was purely a "fierce self-defense" action, and Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union did not want to break out into a fierce conflict with the United States.

At that time, President Dewey had the urge to pick up the coffee cup on the table and smash it.

So far, what happened on Artura Island has been kept secret from the people and the National Assembly, and it has not been found out for the time being. But paper can't hold the fire, and by tomorrow's Independence Day at the latest, the whole country will know about it.

When the time comes. The United States of America will face a very difficult choice: whether to declare war on the many powers of the Old World.

Although the overall industrial strength of the United States is equivalent to that of Britain plus Germany and the Soviet Union and China and Japan combined, the shipbuilding capacity is even higher than theirs. There are also many dirty things about these countries, but the total population of these countries on the other side is several times that of the United States.

However, President Dewey knew very well that the United States, which does not have an advantage in terms of population and military resources, can only maintain its superiority at sea, and it is absolutely impossible to win a land war. And after the Old Continent also apparently possessed nuclear weapons. Victory in this war has become elusive for the United States of America.

Unlike in history, when war was only declared on Japan, once the war was officially started, it was a war between the United States of America and the Old World, and this situation is terrifying just thinking about it.

The night before the arrival of National Day in the United States. The lights in the president's office in Washington were all on. President Dewey and the chatters repeatedly discussed the situation after a full-scale war with the Old World, which could not be worse, especially if the other side also had a similar "weapon of destruction".

"It's going to be a war with no end in sight, and it could even be a war that will destroy everything!"

That night, more than one person said this in front of President Dewey.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the ambassadors of the Soviet Union, Germany, Britain, and China entered the White House together and once again handed over a "request for an armistice" to President Dewey.

The armistice demands put forward by the four countries are still much the same as before, demanding that US forces completely withdraw from Asia and stop interfering in Asian affairs.

"You female cousins raised you!"

Although even President Dewey himself was suffering from the headache that the United States would be forced to go to war with "the whole world" in the first 20 minutes of the meeting, the angry President Dewey roared out of gaffe when he saw the scene of the four ambassadors coming together to put pressure on the United States, and then he wanted to order the guards to come and fork out the four "rogue ambassadors from the Old World" in groups, but fortunately they were stopped by the curtain talk.

Situ Qiaoxing, a Chinese diplomat in the United States, witnessed the scene of the American president's gaffe, and many years later, when he mentioned this incident in his memoirs, he wrote: "The expression on the face of the American president at that time reminded me of the scene in the late Qing Dynasty, when the Eight-Nation Coalition entered Beijing and forced the Qing government to sign the Xinchou Treaty. ”

At that time, in addition to sending a "peace request" that had been talked about repeatedly, the ambassadors of the four countries also submitted a warning: warning the US government not to take the opportunity to attack Canada, otherwise the coalition forces would not rule out the possibility of being "forced" to use the atomic bomb in a defensive war.

At that time, the British ambassador violently revealed the truth to President Dewey: "The British Empire, which has the divine envoy, is the country that is truly favored by God." Before you got that 20,000-ton gadget in the Alamogordo, we had more than 80,000 tons of weapons. ”

Britain at this time. It also had an atomic bomb. Three months ago, Germany transferred a full set of drawings and relevant data for the manufacture of the atomic bomb to Britain, and then the British mixed the nuclear materials in their hands with some of the nuclear materials provided by Germany for processing, and soon produced their first atomic bomb.

In the process, Hannah made a big deal by transferring nuclear technology to the UK. And after Britain "cheaply" acquired a full set of ready-made nuclear technologies. also has the confidence to stiffen his waist and talk to the United States.

The United States, isolated in North America, protected by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, is almost threatened by the Old Continent, but in the north of the United States, there is still a country called Canada, which is still in the Commonwealth at this time.

After the door of the nuclear age was opened, President Dewey, who brandished a nuclear stick to threaten the whole world, waited until his own "neighbors" also used nuclear sticks to threaten him. It was only then that President Dewey discovered that the atomic bomb was sometimes a very abominable thing.

President Dewey angrily said to the British envoy: "The planes of the United States of America will shoot down any bomber that dares to enter the airspace of the United States!" ”

"What if that thing is already in the belly of the United States?"

As soon as he finished speaking, President Dewey's face suddenly changed.

The German envoy smiled and motioned to the presidential secretary in the room to turn on the radio.

In the thirties, with the popularity of radio broadcasting, for the average American, it was time to turn on the radio after dinner. Listening to the evening broadcasts of local radio stations has become an indispensable part of life.

For several years. With the influx of a large number of cheap and lightweight German-made transistor radios into the United States, not only ordinary residents, but also taxis walking on the street, car crystal radios are an indispensable part.

When President Dewey was receiving the Eurasian ambassador and enduring the nuclear threats raised by his opponents in person, it began at nine o'clock every day. The "City Voices Radio" programs in various places began to broadcast at this time.

Between 9:30 and 10 o'clock, residents of many cities in the United States are accustomed to turning on the radio today, and those old listeners in front of the radio suddenly come out of the radio with the host's voice a little wrong.

"Listeners, I have in my hand a lengthened telegram that I have just received from England. The content of the telegram is shocking. The Eurasian coalition forces led by Britain, Germany, the Soviet Union, China, and Japan carried out a nuclear strike on Artura at 3 a.m. on July 4, that is, at 12 a.m. on July 3, U.S. time. Radio stations from the United Kingdom claimed that the coalition forces had dropped a total of four atomic bombs on the island of Atura, well, "enhanced atomic bombs", with a total explosive yield equivalent to the power of 350,000 tons of TNT explosion. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 7th Pacific Fleets of the United States have been completely wiped out in this nuclear explosion! ”

Today, when radio communication technology is popularized, the "headlines" that break out in old Europe are often transmitted to the United States across the ocean by telegram within a few minutes. And at this sensitive time when the Pacific Fleet was hit by a nuclear attack, the upper echelons of the Eurasian coalition did not want to wait for the news to be "slowly" transmitted to the United States, but announced it to the world as quickly as possible by all means.

Radio stations in various parts of the United States received telegrams from Europe with similar content almost simultaneously, which were naturally deliberately arranged in advance by Britain and Germany. Here, Britain and Germany have just announced the good news to the whole country on the radio. Before the listeners of the two countries could digest the news, the official personnel who had been standing by the telegraph office for a long time immediately sent "urgent" telegrams to the major news media and radio stations in the United States.

During the war, although the U.S. government strictly controlled public opinion, such a big news was so big that the unscrupulous media would go against the people of the Information Management Office and snatch it out, even if they fought for their lives.

Residents of Detroit, New York, Houston, and Philadelphia also heard big reports of "special spices" and "special excitement".

"We know from urgent telegrams from Europe that the British and German governments claimed that they had built the atomic bomb a year earlier than the entire United States. Not only that, but they secretly smuggled several special "small gifts" into the United States a few months ago, and now they are stored in several major cities in the United States. They are"

"Detroit, New York, Houston, Philadelphia, and Washington!"

When he said this, the voice of the radio host was trembling.

Listening to the voice coming from the radio, President Dewey said with a blushing face: "How dare you use a nuclear bomb on the territory of the United States of America?" ”

The German ambassador said on the side: "This is not a nuclear bomb, it is a false bomb!" We didn't send that thing to the continental United States, we just sent demonstration shells without charges. ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and put it in front of President Dewey.

"This is where we store these little gifts, and you can send someone to receive and inspect them!"

President Dewey took the note with a blushing face, and then instructed the secretary on the side to deal with the matter immediately.

Then he asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Peace!"

The ambassadors of the four countries in front of him said in unison.

"We're just proving one thing to Mr. President through this, the Pacific and the Atlantic, and it's not making America safe. If Mr. President still wants to continue to use the atomic bomb in the war, we will have to use the atomic bomb as we do today. Then this war will become a game of destruction that builds more and stronger atomic bombs than anyone else, and that kind of result is something that neither you, nor we, the president, want to see. ”

As he spoke, the Soviet ambassador took out a stack of photographs from his arms and put them in front of President Dewey: "This is a photo of the "boy" that our divers salvaged from the sea near Hokkaido three months ago after the nuclear explosion in Hokkaido. After our experts saw the "boy", they figured out that I told my colleagues in your country that your nuclear explosion technology is really too backward, so they reprocessed this thing."

When the ambassadors of the four countries left together with a smug heart, an enraged President Dewey smashed the coffee cup on the table, the second coffee cup he had smashed today.
