Chapter 482: Washington: Under the Nuclear Explosion

Washington, USA.

After Truman hung up the phone, he did not feel as relaxed as he imagined, but inexplicably felt a solemnity in his heart, like a mountain pressing on his heart.

He made several phone calls one after another, one to the Pacific Naval Command in Hawaii, one to the Los Angeles Homeland Defense Command Center, one to the Atlantic Naval Command, and one to the Circumatlantic Territorial Air Defense Center.

However, nothing suspicious was found on all four fronts, and because of this, Truman found the development of the situation very suspicious.

No traces of Chinese strategic bombers were found at all, not even the presence of a reconnaissance aircraft, and no traces of activity of other aircraft such as electronic jammers.

Truman was not a military expert, but since he was in the position of president and had served as vice president in the White House for a long time, he would not be an idiot about the military, not to mention that the special military adviser to the presidential office, an American lieutenant general who participated in World War I, also warned him.

"The Chinese are probably brewing some huge conspiracy, and the corresponding matters of unconditional surrender should be completed as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for the entire United States to sleep peacefully."

He attached great importance to the advice of the veteran lieutenant general, so he insisted on pushing for unconditional surrender, and in his opinion, at this time, personal honor and disgrace were secondary, and the security and interests of the United States were the most important things.

"Mr. President, General MacArthur is here."

From time to time, General MacArthur came to Truman's reception room, and when he was about to rest, he found that he could not sleep peacefully, so he urgently called MacArthur.

This former commander of the Pacific Theater is now one of the military's tridents, and together with General Eisenhower and General Patton, the three of them form the core triangle of the American [***] team.

The staff poured them a cup of coffee and a cup of tea and walked out, while MacArthur and Truman discussed the situation.

"Mr. President, I don't think the situation is normal right now. The Germans have already thrown out the high-profile argument that the nuclear lease is successful, and according to normal circumstances, the Chinese will carry out a nuclear strike in the fastest time to avoid huge public pressure.

But now, we have not noticed anything unusual about their nuclear bombers, and the entire Far East has been under the 24-hour surveillance of our agents. We also didn't find any anomalies in multiple directions.

This seems to be a bad sign. ”

MacArthur seemed to want to say something, and first talked about some foreshadowing.

Truman: "What does the General want to say?" ”

"Mr. President, we should increase the investigation of neighboring countries, such as Mexico. I very much doubt that it is possible for the Chinese to secretly deliver atomic bombs to these countries for the purpose of a surprise attack.

If they secretly planted the atomic bomb in Mexico or Cuba, it would only take an ordinary bomber or transport plane to break through our fragile borders and drop the atomic bomb on our soil. ”

As soon as MacArthur opened his mouth, he made a possibility that made Truman stand up in shock, "I was watching a television program in the morning when a reporter interviewed a businessman and asked him where his Chinese goods came from.

He told reporters that his Chinese goods were imported from China, but not directly, but into Cuba. One reason is the low cost of storage and the low cost of warehouse rental and management. The second reason is that it can avoid trade barriers from belligerents.

This makes me think that the Chinese may also put atomic bombs in these countries and bomb us nearby. ”

"General, I attach great importance to this possible surname you proposed, and I am sure that this possible surname is very large."

Truman said solemnly, and then called two officers and asked them to step up intelligence spying on several neighboring countries, such as Mexico and Cuba, and at the same time strengthen radar vigilance and air patrols in these areas.

Although both Cuba and Mexico nominally supported the Great American Plan and sent troops to join the Allied side, Truman did not believe that the Chinese could not buy these countries, not to mention that if the Chinese secretly entered by other means, these countries with weak military and ruling power would probably not be able to detect the Chinese's actions.

To complicate matters, although these countries have sent troops to the war, they have not declared war on the Chinese or implemented a trade refusal policy against the Chinese. While sending a few hundred soldiers of pitiful numbers, they had normal dealings with the Chinese.

Now as soon as MacArthur mentioned this possible surname, Truman immediately thought that this possible surname was very large, otherwise, the Chinese would only be able to take off bombers from the mainland, otherwise, the Chinese would never take off strategic bombers from aircraft carriers, which is obviously impossible.

"General, we're going to have an evening meal together."

Truman was in a much better mood, ordered a supper to be prepared, and sat by the window with MacArthur, eating a meal while watching the night view of Washington outside, and discussing political and military matters.

Both tacitly did not mention the unconditional surrender after dawn, and Truman's mood was still relatively depressed, while MacArthur was confirmed in the previous internal meeting to participate in the unconditional surrender and was the general representative of the American [***] side.

In other words, both of them belong to the type who has to carry the black pot.

At present, the trident of the US [***] side, Admiral Patton is a war criminal that the Germans are clamoring for, and the Chinese will not let him go, while Eisenhower will preside over the endgame after the defeat of the war, and MacArthur has become the inevitable representative of the US [***] side that surrendered unconditionally.

"The night today is beautiful, the stars are vast."

Truman looked out the window at the starry sky as if he had returned to his farm in Grandview, Missouri, where the most beautiful night sky could often be seen.

"Hey, I can actually see a shooting star!"

Truman suddenly pointed to a place in the night sky and said to MacArthur.

"Oh? Meteor? ”

MacArthur followed the prestige and saw a somewhat elongated meteor-like object with a bright fire flashing at its tail, but the next moment, he was shocked and said in horror, "No! No! No!! Mr. President, that's not a meteor, that's a missile!! ”

"Missiles??"

Truman, though he didn't quite know if it was a missile, was not MacArthur, and had seen a missile launch, but not at night.

He also realized that something was wrong, "Is there anything unusual about the missile?" ”

MacArthur was shocked, and said in a trembling voice, "Mr. President, there are no missile units near Washington at all, and even if it is a missile exercise, it is absolutely impossible to launch missiles at Washington." ”

"Is it ......?"

A strong sense of uneasiness and fear rose in the hearts of both of them, and the topic that was still being discussed just now seemed to be possible in an instant. Could it be that the Chinese, following the example of the Germans, put missiles in Cuba, just as the Germans attacked London with missiles from Europe, attacking Washington?

However, the missile, which flashed with bright fire, fell at an unimaginably fast speed, and finally exploded at an ultra-low altitude still some distance from the ground.

"Boom !!!"

There was a world-shattering loud bang, and a huge fireball like the sun lit up where the missile exploded.

"Ahh

At the first moment, Truman and MacArthur felt a huge bright light in front of them, and the whole world was as bright as daytime, nay, brighter than the intensity of the sun in a hundred days.

It was a moment, and both of them thought of something.

"Atomic Bomb !!"

"Chinese used the atomic bomb !!"

However, it was too late for them to even react, and the nuclear bomb, which exploded just over a kilometer from the White House, had already released earth-shattering energy.

The huge explosion brought a huge shock wave in an instant, and the explosion of a nuclear bomb with a TNT equivalent of 250,000 tons was not much better than the situation in the previous year.

The huge shock wave instantly shattered the windows of the presidential palace in the White House, and the glass instantly became splinters and flew into the room.

A huge shockwave then rushed into the house, blowing everything inside away.

The huge shock wave was accompanied by combustion, nuclear radiation, because it was too close to the center of the nuclear explosion, the White House did not withstand the huge shock wave of the explosion, due to disrepair, the building was aging, and the entire White House collapsed.

This small building, which symbolizes the supreme power of the United States, crumbled in a huge shock wave, and finally did not hold on and collapsed with a bang.

Objects in the buildings were also set on fire, and fires raged through the ruins, and no one was able to escape.

Truman and MacArthur were blown away the first time, smashed into the wall and nearly died, and then the White House collapsed, and both were crushed in the rubble.

Coincidentally, Truman was not alone in the moment before he died, but felt in a daze that he had grabbed a hand, which of course was also MacArthur's feeling.

Because they really grabbed each other's hands, the president and the five-star general were able to have a companion before they died, of course, they were not only with each other, but also with everyone in the White House, everyone in the neighborhood, and even more, 100,000, 200,000, 500,000...... Washington is too densely populated.

At the moment of the explosion, all the Americans who were still addicted to nightlife suddenly found that the sky lit up, and the next moment, a huge explosion was heard.

Everyone looked up at the sky, and they all saw the direction of downtown Washington, a huge fireball burning in the sky, as if the end of the world, and the whole of Washington was as bright as day.

No, it's brighter than daytime.

"Atomic Bomb!! God, it's the atomic bomb!! ”

"Help!! Run!! ”

"Chinese atomic bomb !!"

The whole of Washington, in an instant, fell into a hell, several kilometers of the center of the atomic bomb were razed to the ground, more than a dozen kilometers of buildings collapsed and burned in large numbers, and of course, even more terrifying nuclear radiation is spreading throughout Washington.

The whole of Washington, a piece of the end of the world!!
