Ambassador Wei did not know that the case file investigating Chen Qiang had been sealed by the FBI, and no one would come to the embassy to investigate Chen Qiang.

Ambassador Wei waited for many days but no one came, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. According to common sense, even if the FBI is inefficient, it should come to the embassy to investigate now, but Ambassador Wei has not received the slightest rumor, let alone not seeing the FBI in person, and not even a letter from the FBI.

Ambassador Wei realized that there should be a problem with the FBI, and he wanted to go to the FBI to inquire why the report letter was lost, but Ambassador Wei was not a fool, and if he really wanted to inquire, wouldn't he tell everyone that the anonymous report letter was written by him.

The conspiracy against Chen Qiang did not succeed, which made Ambassador Wei feel a little bad. But what needs to be done is still to be done, such as continuing to enlist U.S. assistance.

Now that the war in Europe has ended, the United States does not need to support Europe on a large scale as before, and the weapons and materials originally used to support Europe have naturally become the goal that Chongqing needs to strive for, and Chongqing hopes that the United States can transport the remaining materials to China, and strive for the "dog leftovers" that are not needed in the European battlefield, which has also become Ambassador Wei's main task at present.

In fact, Ambassador Wei had already received the news, and when the war ended, his ambassador to the United States would be considered to be the first to come. Ambassador Wei was able to prosper only by relying on his wife, and with Mrs. Wei's connections, Ambassador Wei would inevitably be promoted after returning to China, and as for how high he would be promoted, it would also depend on the results of his work during his tenure as ambassador to the United States. In the past, Ambassador Wei was so keen on selling war bonds, not only to pluck the goose, but also to make his political achievements look better, so that he could rise all the way after returning to China.

On this day, Ambassador Wei visited several congressmen to seek more assistance from the United States, but the result was nothing, and the nature of begging was similar to begging.

After visiting the congressmen to no avail, Ambassador Wei went to the U.S. Material Distribution Committee, hoping to make some supplies from there.

The official in charge of receiving Ambassador Wei on the Material Distribution Committee happened to be the same person who received the director of the FBI a few days ago.

"Ambassador Wei, the allocation of our material quota here has been completed as early as the beginning of the year, and our main job at present is to coordinate the ......distribution of materials according to the quota set at the beginning of the year," the official explained slowly.

"I understand, but I still want to ask, is there anyone who has been given a quota of supplies, but is not using them? If so, can you give us the supplies that others don't want? Ambassador Wei asked.

The official smiled, and then said: "Ambassador Wei, this is a special period, and the strategic materials we have rationed here are all in short supply, and if they are thrown into the market, they will simply be in short supply, how can anyone give up this hard-won quota." ”

"That's a shame." Ambassador Wei sighed helplessly, it seems that this time he came to the Material Distribution Committee, and he will return in vain.

The officials of the Material Distribution Committee went on to say: "The people who can get the quota from us are not ordinary businessmen, either with a military background or a familiar understanding of the top brass in Washington. Therefore, if Ambassador Wei needs these important strategic materials, he still has to go to the military, or to those parliamentarians. ”

"You still have to say it! If those congressmen are willing to help me, I'll use you for me. Ambassador Wei said secretly in his heart.

The official continued: "Of course, it would be better if you could find Mr. President for help." ”

"You're joking, Mr. President of your country, how can I go to him for such a thing." Ambassador Wei said this, but in fact he could not catch the line of Truman.

"Ambassador Wei, I'm not joking, that Mr. Chen from your country just took a lot of rubber quotas from me with the approval of Mr. President." The official spoke.

"Mr. Chen? Which Mr. Chan? Ambassador Wei asked subconsciously.

"It's the Olympic champion, the well-known athlete Mr. Chen." The official replied.

"You mean Chen Qiang?" Ambassador Wei's expression became extremely shocked.

"Yes, it's him, I don't know a few Chinese at all, he happens to be one of them." The officer nodded.

"You mean, Chen Qiang got President Truman's approval? Got a rubber quota from you? Ambassador Wei asked eagerly.

The official nodded again: "Yes, Mr. President's autograph, I have seen it with my own eyes, this will not be wrong." ”

Ambassador Wei was stunned on the spot.

"Chen Qiang was able to get President Truman's approval? When did he hook up with President Truman? After Truman succeeded to the presidency, I didn't say a few words to him, so why did Chen Qiang get the rubber quota from him? ”

At this time, Ambassador Wei was full of black question marks, and the next second, he suddenly thought of his anonymous report letter, but the FBI was indifferent, perhaps because Chen Qiang had a close relationship with Truman, so the FBI suppressed the matter.

Ambassador Wei's expression suddenly became bitter, and he knew that in the next few days, not only would he not be able to deal with Chen Qiang, but he also needed to treat Chen Qiang as a bodhisattva, because Chen Qiang had a friendship with US President Truman. As long as Truman was still the president of the United States, he could not deal with Chen Qiang.

Ambassador Wei let out a long sigh and said secretly in his heart: "You used to have a good relationship with Roosevelt, and I have to provide for you well!" Now that Roosevelt is dead, and you have a good relationship with Truman, I still have to provide for you! Didn't you say that people take the tea to cool it, why is your cup of tea still so hot? ”

……

On July 16, at four o'clock in the morning, before dawn, it was raining lightly in a deserted area of Socorro, New Mexico.

In a bunker, Major de Silva walked up to a general and said, "General Ente, it's almost four o'clock, and according to the predetermined plan, the test can now be carried out." ”

General Ente looked at an elderly man in a white coat beside him: "Professor, can you start?" ”

"No, it's still raining outside, and the radiation after the explosion may increase due to the rain, or even flow to other places with the rain, so we have to control the radiation range to avoid radiation damage in other places." The old professor spoke.

"But according to the original plan, we were going to detonate it at four o'clock sharp, and the plan was reported to the White House and approved by Mr. President. Perhaps Mr. President is waiting for our good news! General Ente spoke.

"Mr. President is not in the United States right now, he is in a meeting in Potsdam, maybe he has not adjusted to the jet lag and is sleeping!" The old coach paused, and then said: "If the location of the experiment is not in our own United States, but in other countries, I don't mind that the scope of radiation will expand, anyway, it is not our own land that is polluted. But we are now conducting this dangerous experiment on American soil, and I have to be responsible for the United States. If we can't control the radiation range, maybe where we are now is not safe, I don't think you want us hundreds of people to lose decades of life, right? ”

Of course, General Ente wanted to live a few more years, and considering the danger of what the old professor said, he could only nod: "Okay, then let's wait for the rain to stop!" ”

At 4:45 a.m., a new weather forecast came, and the rain would end in half an hour.

At ten o'clock at five, General Ente finally gave the order: "Twenty minutes countdown!" ”

A captain led a team of men to make the final clearance, and in the sky, two B29 bombers were already in position.

Thirty miles to the north, an American transport plane was flying at 10,000 feet when they suddenly received an order not to continue south.

The rain had stopped, and the minutes passed by until it was finally 5:30.

There was a loud noise, and in an instant, the surrounding mountains were illuminated, and the neighborhood became oven-like hot, and the light could be seen changing from purple to green and finally white through the goggles at the observation point. Immediately afterward, the shock wave came along with a roaring sound, and it took more than forty seconds to reach the observation point.

The ground began to shake, and the tremors could be felt even from 100 miles away, and the white light gradually dissipated, and a huge cheongsam-shaped mushroom cloud rose into the sky, reaching a height of 7.5 miles

"It's so beautiful! This is at least the yield of 5000 tons of TNT bombs! "It was Dr. Johann von Neumann, who was one of the participants in the Manhattan Project.

However, Dr. Johann von Neumann still estimated that this atomic bomb was equivalent to the yield of a 22,000-ton TNT bomb.

A moment later, cheers rang out from the underground bunker.

"The explosion was successful, we succeeded!"

"Great, after all these years of research, it's finally done!"

"Notify Washington, inform the White House!"

"Mr. President is in Potsdam, Germany, and he must be informed of this good news as soon as possible."

……

At this time, President Truman was in Potsdam, a suburb of Berlin, Germany, attending the upcoming Potsdam Conference.

For the meeting, which will be held on July 17, Truman has made a special instruction to complete the Manhattan Project experiment on July 16, and if the experiment is successful, the United States will have more bargaining chips at the Potsdam Conference.

Germany had surrendered, and it was time to deal with Japan, but in this regard, the British and French obviously did not want to help, Britain only wanted to recover their former colonies in Asia, and the Indian side Gandhi and Nehru had been fighting for independence, which also made Britain take care of itself. France has just been recovered, and now it is in the process of post-war reconstruction, and it is simply unable to send troops to Asia, and it is estimated that those French colonies in Asia may not be able to keep it.

The British and the French could not count on it, so the main forces against the Japanese were only China, the United States, and the Soviet Union.

Even at the time of the Potsdam Conference, the Soviet Union still did not officially declare war on Japan, and the Soviet Union declared war on Japan after the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Today, the Soviet Union also intends to seek more benefits by sending troops to the sun, and the Potsdam Conference has become a battlefield for the United States and the Soviet Union.

The British and French have become cheerleaders, the Soviets want benefits, and Chongqing is a dou who can't be supported, which makes the Americans feel that the team is not easy to bring! As a result, there was the Potsdam Conference, which was tantamount to holding a meeting first, so that the Allies could reach a consensus on the war against Japan first, so as not to help each other on the battlefield and drag them back.

The atomic bomb was Truman's biggest bargaining chip in negotiations with the Soviet Union, and once the atomic bomb test was successful, the United States would be able to push Japan to surrender without relying on the Soviet Union's strength, and the atomic bomb would also give the United States a decisive strategic advantage.

Previously, the United States was desperately hoping that the Soviet Union would fight against Japan earlier, because the Americans had suffered from the Japanese in the Pacific theater, and the Americans knew very well that if they wanted to completely defeat Japan by relying on the United States alone, they would have to fill in the lives of millions of American soldiers, so the United States hoped that the Soviet Union could share the pressure on the United States. The Soviet Union also saw this and talked to the Americans about the conditions for sending troops.

Now with the atomic bomb, the situation is different, since the United States can force Japan to surrender alone, then the Americans do not want the Soviet Union to fight against Japan, because once the Soviet Union intervenes, the United States cannot monopolize the Far East, and the interests of the Far East will be shared among the Soviets.

After learning of the successful test of the atomic bomb, Truman's waist in Potsdam straightened a little, and he even felt that there was no need to talk to the Soviet Union now, and it would be better for the Soviet Union not to attack Japan, so that the United States could monopolize the entire Far East.

The news of the successful test of the atomic bomb by the United States was not announced to the public, so although the Soviet Union participated in the Potsdam Conference at that time, it did not get the benefits they wanted, so the full name of the "Potsdam Proclamation" was "The Potsdam Proclamation of China, the United States, and Britain Urging Japan to Surrender", and there was nothing about the Soviet Union in it. It is estimated that the Soviets also wondered why Truman's waist was so straight at the meeting, and he had no intention of negotiating with the Soviet Union at all.

The Americans dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, and after the Soviet Union learned the news, it realized that even without the Soviet Union, the United States could force Japan to surrender, and the Soviet Union was worried that the United States would monopolize the Far East, so on August 8, it hastily declared war on Japan, and then on August 9, the United States dropped the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki. On 12 August, a week after the atomic bomb was bombed in Hiroshima, the US authorities officially announced the news of the successful atomic bomb test.

……

It is impossible for no one to notice the successful detonation of the atomic bomb, and the 7.5-mile-high mushroom cloud and the 100-mile earthquake around it are all hidden.

The U.S. military had already prepared several different press releases to be released after the test was over.

In the newspaper of the day, in an inconspicuous corner, such a message appeared:

"The commander of the Alamogordo Army Base issued the following statement today that an explosion occurred at an Air Force ammunition depot located in a remote location in Alamogordo, but there were no casualties, and the damage other than the ammunition depot was minimal, and several civilians in the vicinity have been urgently evacuated."

Chen Qiang looked at this short news, with a complicated expression on his face, he knew that this ammunition depot explosion in New Mexico was not ordinary, and the Americans had successfully developed the most terrifying weapon of mass destruction in human history!

"Pandora's box, finally opened!"
