Chapter 504 Procrastination?

Throwing an atomic bomb is like killing someone, and you will be hesitant to use it for the first time, and then you will quickly get used to it, and if you taste the benefits, you will even become "addicted".

"Drop the atomic bomb, drop the atomic bomb again, throw more atomic bombs!"

After April 1946, public opinion in the United States was full of such voices, and in the minds of many people, it seemed that the essence of war was to win by constantly dropping atomic bombs.

In the process, although some scientists have made different voices, in the current United States, these voices have not been heard far, and they are tightly muffled by louder "patriotic voices".

Although it is not clear exactly how much damage the atomic bomb dropped on the island has caused to Japan, President Dewey, who used the nuclear bomb, has already tasted the sweetness of using the nuclear bomb from the "weakness" shown by Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union in diplomacy after the incident.

Then he was talking to him, and he was already planning how to drop a second, a third, atomic bomb, in order to put more pressure on the traditional powers of the continent to pull them out of the war.

Without these spoilers, President Dewey believed that in just one year at most, the United States could easily tear Japan to shreds.

In his heart, President Dewey's plan was that after the defeat of Japan, the US Navy, which was already at its peak, would immediately go south, take the threat of atomic bombs and target the British in the south, and then completely pinch this-stirring stick in Europe and the Pacific into powder.

By preaching the power of the atomic bomb, a superweapon, President Dewey temporarily eased the pressure he faced at home. And in April, the US Navy received two more Midway-class aircraft carriers and the last Essex-class aircraft carrier. At this point, the construction plan of 36 Essex-class aircraft carriers drawn up by the United States has been completed. A large number of more advanced Midway-class aircraft carriers will also be commissioned in the following months...... (Note: Historically, two Midway-class aircraft carriers joined the U.S. Navy in September and October 1945.) However, due to the impact of the United States on the construction of 70,000-ton Montana-class battleships and the priority of completing the Essex-class aircraft carrier restrictions, the construction of the Midway-class was delayed)

The post-1946 U.S. Navy was like a large truck with full power and no brakes, expanding at an increasingly terrifying speed.

Although on March 30th. The US naval air force has been fiercely exchanging fire with the combined air forces of Britain, Germany, and China over Hokkaido, but the United States, Britain, Germany, and China have still not formally declared war, and the four continue to maintain this strange state of "fighting without declaring it."

Throughout April, the US ambassadors of the foreign affairs departments to the three countries lobbied incessantly among the top leaders of the three countries, wielding the "big nuclear stick" in their hands, and doing the last hard work of "striving for world peace." In addition, the US ambassador was also trying to win the "cooperation" of the Soviet Union, which had been in a wait-and-see neutral attitude during the conflict with the Eurasian coalition forces at the end of March. To the Americans, this is a signal of suggestion.

From April to May, the U.S. government, wielding a nuclear stick in its left hand and a turnip lure in its right, tried with all its might to dismember the Eurasian Union.

It is foolish for the enemy to be defeated one by one, and to be the enemy of the whole world, and President Dewey still understands this very well.

In the battle of Hokkaido, the Americans were showing their "nuclear muscles" to the whole world. In the skies over Hokkaido, he was also slightly frightened by the strength of his opponent.

For the first time, jet fighters appeared in air combat. And completely suppressed the traditional piston fighter in real combat. After the war, the Navy told the President that unless the Navy could have similar aircraft, the pressure on the US military in air combat in the future landing in Japan would be extremely great. It gave President Dewey even more headaches. It is the terrible penetration ability of jet fighters when used as interceptors, and the risk of using the B29 to carry out air strikes on Japan again will become even greater when the existence of the atomic bomb has been exposed.

Although in recent years, in order to bomb Japan. The United States also went all out to launch another B36 strategic bomber. But this billion-dollar research project is still a half-baked product that is still immature. Moreover, even if the B36 bomber is in service, its range is heavy enough to carry an atomic bomb back and forth between Artura Island and Hokkaido. However, in the face of the air defense power displayed by the Eurasian coalition forces in the Battle of Hokkaido, such an air attack was also a very risky act. The "loss" of an atomic bomb in the last bombing campaign has made President Dewey tremble and uneasy, and he really did not have the courage to carry out a similar adventure again.

"Build aircraft carriers, build aircraft carriers, build more Midway-class aircraft carriers!"

After using the atomic bomb to temporarily relieve the political pressure on his shoulders, President Dewey decided to suspend the offensive against the Japanese mainland and instead shifted all his focus to the direction of dividing the European Union through diplomatic means. The war machine of the United States of America is running at a high speed, and after May 1946, the new aircraft carriers of the United States have reached the season of "a large number of aircraft carriers", and every month a new large Midway-class aircraft carrier will be put into service.

Not only the Midway-class aircraft carriers, but over time, more nuclear materials will be made, and the United States will have more atomic bombs in its hands.

"Give me time, please give me another year! Then the United States of America will have enough atomic bombs in its hands, and then I will use them to wipe Japan off the face of the earth! As long as there are enough atomic bombs, the United States of America will not have to sacrifice millions of young men to join such a tragic meat grinder as landing and seizing the island! ”

In April, in a speech to the nation, President John Dewey patted his chest and assured the citizens of the United States. During this period, the US side continued to show the documentary film of the first nuclear test in major theaters in China, and almost all American citizens watched the scene of the atomic bombing and the scene of destruction after the incident.

"Give the president one more year to build an atomic bomb, and the United States of America will win the war with a few million fewer deaths!"

This was the slogan shouted in the newspapers by the Republican Party, represented by Dewey.

The old President Dewey knew the shortcomings of the coalition forces and his own advantages, and he wanted to drag on the war, and the longer it dragged on, the more cards he had in his hand, and the better the odds of victory.

But how can everything go as planned? (To be continued......)
