Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Earth Under the Mushroom Cloud (End)

In the southwest of the Indian Peninsula, the port city of Goa

Standing at the mouth of the air-raid shelter on a hill on the outskirts of Goa, looking at the mushroom cloud rising from the sea in the distance with complicated eyes, Congress Party President Chandra. His Excellency Bowes was suddenly overwhelmed, not knowing what to say, and at the same time feeling that his clothes were soaked with cold sweat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Is this the power of the atomic bomb? It is indeed brighter than a thousand suns!!

If this nuclear bomb was not dropped on the open sea, but on the top of his head, then he really couldn't carry any bunker fortifications!

-- According to the Pentagon's plan, this wave of global nuclear strikes should be carried out on the same day as possible to ensure its suddenness.

Unexpectedly, due to the consistent procrastination, chain dropping, and stabbing of the Indians, the front-line airfield on the outskirts of New Delhi did not complete the repair and maintenance and lengthening of the runway until three days before the start of the nuclear strike, and then, because of the reckless and illegal operations of Indian engineers and laborers, actually triggered a huge fire that spread throughout the airport the night before the nuclear bomb was scheduled to be dropped, igniting not only the oil depot and ammunition depot, but also detonating dozens of planes on the runway and tarmac, triggering a terrifying series of explosions. Completely paralyzed the entire airport...... As a result, the B-29 strategic bomber carrying the atomic bomb was forced to stay at a military base in Singapore, unable to complete the refueling and transfer halfway.

What's worse is that since Gandhi and Nehru publicly announced that they would renounce their independence proposition and welcome the return of the American and British allies to India in order to change their skin and protect themselves, the loyalty of their groups has plummeted like an avalanche -- before that, Gandhi led the Indian people to go on a hunger strike to make an independent revolution for so many years, although the form is a bit strange, after all, no country in the world was established on hunger, but this slogan and proposition of independence have never changed, It has also made thousands of aspiring young people in India transcend the boundaries of caste and ethnicity, and their blood is boiling.

Who knew that now, after so many years of bloody fighting, 99% of the entire land of India has been liberated - although it is divided, but at least the British are about to be driven away, but Gandhi has actually changed his tune and asked everyone to regain their allegiance to the Emperor...... I feel that you old man has been fooling us?!! Anyway, today's Gandhi, in the eyes of most Indians, is no longer a Mahatma, but the biggest liar and hypocrite in the world, basically similar to Wang Jingwei, who betrayed the country and defected to the Japanese invaders, and the fame and popularity accumulated in the past have been completely ruined.

A considerable number of fans and revolutionary youths who originally followed Gandhi and others felt the despair of a certain idol disillusionment, as well as the anger that a certain faith was betrayed and feelings were deceived...... Of course, the image of the two leaders who continued to persist in the armed struggle in western India, the independence of the country and the liberation of the country, Bose of Goa and Jinnah of Karachi, suddenly became elevated in their minds - in a very short time, the organizational groups of Gandhi and Nehru were so infiltrated by their opponents that even Gandhi's secretary became Chandra. Bowes's intelligence officer.

As a result, while the U.S. military and the "Indian allies" were still arguing over the repair of the New Delhi airport, the nuclear strike plan for the entire Indian battlefield was sent to Chandra. In the hands of Bowes and Jinnah, there are also countless ghosts who are trying to delay the repair of the airport, trying to buy time.

In short, it was not until five days after the nuclear bombings in Hanoi, Madrid, Jakarta, and Shanghai that the global news media were in an uproar, and the front-line airfield in New Delhi completed the initial emergency repairs to accommodate the safe take-off and landing of B-29 strategic bombers carrying atomic bombs...... And using this buffer time, as the most likely next nuclear bomb target, Congress Party Chairman Chandra . Both Bose and Muslim League Chairman Jinnah did their best to strengthen the air defenses of their respective base camps, and evacuated important personnel to the countryside as quickly as possible to prevent them from being wiped out by the US imperialist atomic bombs.

As a result, as soon as the US military's nuclear attack strategic bomber formation took off, someone from New Delhi was already using a radio station to make an urgent announcement to Goa and Karachi. When the formation of B-29 "Super Flying Fortress" strategic bombers carrying atomic bombs roared towards them, the Indian National Army Air Force on the Goa side had long been in full preparation -- in the face of the fear of a nuclear bomb bombing the top, the Goan side gathered almost all the planes that could go to the sky, and even urgently equipped the training planes with machine guns to make up the numbers, and strictly ordered all the pilots to knock down the enemy planes even if they collided, otherwise everyone would be doomed together!

Eventually, after an extremely tragic aerial fight, the B-29 bomber carrying the atomic bomb was beaten by Indian pilots who followed him like mad dogs, and fell in smoke before it could fly over Goa. At the last moment before the crash, the American engineers on board the plane resolutely detonated the atomic bomb, causing a bright mushroom cloud to rise on the sea about twenty kilometers from the city of Goa......

- Looking at the mushroom clouds rising from the sea in the distance, Chandra. Mr. Bowes let out a long sigh of relief.

Indeed, this close-up view of the mushroom cloud ascending into the sky is terrifying, but given the limited power of the early atomic bombs of this era, the damage caused was not serious in reality - after covering a distance of twenty kilometers, the shock wave of the atomic bomb was no longer enough to destroy any building stronger than a hut, and the light radiation and foehn heat wave from the nuclear explosion were only a scorching sensation at this distance.

Then, the huge waves caused by the atomic bombing will certainly hit the ports of Goa, but first, the distance of 20 kilometers has greatly attenuated the energy of the waves; Secondly, Chandra, who was fully warned. Bose had already evacuated the inhabitants of the coastal areas before the war, so the number of casualties should not be very large, at least in today's era of world war, where at least tens of thousands of people die on the battlefield every day, it is completely not worth mentioning.

However, according to interviews with nuclear physicists reported by Soviet radio stations, there will be headaches with radiation contamination to follow. At least the fish, shrimp and shellfish in the sea area under the mushroom cloud will not be eaten for a long time. Goan citizens are exposed to excessive radiation under the mushroom cloud, and when they are old and weak, the risk of cancer will also be greatly increased...... However in Chandra. According to Boss, this should not be a big problem, and with the average life expectancy of Indians at the moment, most of them probably do not live to be forty or fifty years old.

Of course, this does not mean that he himself is willing to lead by example and continue to stay in this potentially nuclear-contaminated zone.

“…… It seems that the relocation of the headquarters to Mumbai will have to be accelerated. He whispered.

At the same time, after learning that the nuclear strike plan had been leaked and that the nuclear bombing operation in Goa had failed, another group of US nuclear strike bombers on the Indian battlefield aimed at the Muslim League temporarily changed the target of the bombing -- instead of going to the heavily guarded and heavily armed port of Karachi, it turned around and bombed Rawalpindi, a major town in the upper reaches of the Indus River to the north. With almost all of the planes in Jinnah's hands mobilized to the port of Karachi, Rawalpindi's air defenses were extremely empty. The U.S. military easily dropped an atomic bomb on the city center, reducing the former British Indian Army base to rubble......

So far, the two nuclear explosions carried out by the United States and British allies in the Hindustan region, with a total of about 300,000 casualties, have not been able to intimidate any of the local indigenous rebels, but have provoked wider anger and commotion, as well as guerrilla warfare that has blossomed throughout India.

Hong Kong Island, Central, Governor's House

With the clatter of the Stern submachine gun and the blasting roar of engineer explosives, a group of black soldiers wearing American or British uniforms first killed several local Hong Kong guards who were still holding their posts, and then blew open the door of the Governor's Mansion and broke into the empty Governor's Mansion......

Clearly, this was a mutiny, or rather a self-help effort by these abandoned black soldiers.

-- After the Red Army won the Battle of Canton and annihilated 300,000 enemies, the reactionary forces in the whole of Guangdong Province collapsed. The remnants of the party-state fled to eastern Guangdong one after another, entrenched in Chaozhou and continued to hold on. After losing 20,000 soldiers, the US-British coalition forces that "helped the war with friendship" also fled to Hong Kong in great embarrassment.

According to common sense, the next step would be to defend Hong Kong, either fierce or short-lived, as the Japanese army did when it attacked Hong Kong in 1941. In the beginning, the commanders of the US-British coalition forces in Hong Kong did indeed make arrangements in this way -- taking advantage of the fact that the Red Army, which had just finished the Battle of Guangzhou, was still resting and clearing out the remnants of the enemy in the countryside of the Pearl River Delta, and did not continue to attack Hong Kong for the time being, the Hong Kong Governor's Office collected the routed troops and rebuilt the establishment, and at the same time requisitioned a large number of laborers, and worked day and night to repair the defense line of Drunken Bay, which had been abandoned since the Japanese invasion, as well as the fortifications of Stonecutters State and the fortress of Jardine's Hill.

At first glance, it seems to be a posture of determination to fight another battle for the defense of Hong Kong - and this time the situation seems to be better than in 1941, because the Allies have control of Hong Kong's seas and can send a steady stream of reinforcements and supplies, rather than being trapped in the city as they were last time.

But it didn't take long for the situation to gradually change subtly - first, the project to rebuild the defense line of Drunken Bay was inexplicably abandoned halfway and became an unfinished building; The Royal Navy's Eastern Fleet, which had been stationed in Victoria Bay, suddenly dropped anchor and withdrew late one night, taking with it a large number of soldiers and expatriates. Then, more and more military officers, expatriates and tycoons ran away by boat overnight, and the whole Hong Kong market was full of panic.

By the beginning of October, there were still about 30,000 troops stationed in Hong Kong, but the traditional American and British whites were all gone, leaving only blacks, Indians, Arabs, Indians, Vietnamese, Mexicans mixed with Indian blood, plus South American cannon fodder and Nepalese mercenaries, and the Kuomintang rout who had just fled to Hong Kong. The Governor's Office only told them to go to the port warehouse once a week to collect food supplies......

As a result, these miscellaneous soldiers who were placed actually ushered in a rare leisurely holiday in the gap between the smoke and bullets in the sky.

Now that they are idle, they can't help but start thinking about the situation in Hong Kong now, and the noble white men are pulling their feet out and preparing to leave them in the second, third, and fourth class people in the Chinese prisoner of war camps...... To these tired and war-weary alien soldiers who have no good feelings for the American and British governments, this seems to be a way out.

-- I heard that the slogan of the Chinese Red Army has always been to give preferential treatment to prisoners of war...... No matter how much water is mixed in, as long as it is not like the death camps of Nazi Germany, then at least it is much better than dying in a foreign land, and there is a better chance that you will be able to return home alive......

All in all, some of them chose to change their ways and flee from the team, while most of them were numbly waiting to raise their hands and surrender as prisoners of war - even the senior officials above were obviously not ready to fight another battle to defend Hong Kong, so why should they rush to their deaths?

However, in October, as the detailed news of the Shanghai nuclear bombing came one after another, these mixed soldiers of colored people in the United States and Britain, who had already decided to resign themselves to fate, could not help but feel a pang in their hearts: Those white people who had already pulled out their feet and slipped away, should they also leave an atomic bomb for self-detonation somewhere in Hong Kong before leaving? Damn it! God forbid! We've never had the idea of a martyr for you white-skinned bastards!

In the current environment of panic, all kinds of terrible rumors can always spread as quickly as possible......

Soon, under the fear of being able to bathe in the divine light of the nuclear explosion at close range, a group of black soldiers with strong action took the lead and brazenly attacked the Hong Kong Governor's Palace, which they believed was the most suspected of hiding nuclear bombs. After easily killing the stupid Hong Kong guards outside the door and breaking into the building of the Governor's Mansion, these black soldiers were shocked to find that the entire Governor's Mansion had been empty since I didn't know it!!

Then, even more terrifyingly, after searching the empty Governor's Palace, they actually found an atomic bomb in a secret room!

An atomic bomb with a timed fuse installed and has entered the countdown!

At this moment, the mouths of all the black soldiers on the scene were wide open, and their mood was broken.

My God! Quickly send down a thunderbolt and kill those shameless white masters!

Luckily, the gauge above shows that there is still an hour before the detonation...... I'm afraid it's too late to escape, so find someone to defuse the bomb quickly!

However, none of these blacks were sappers, and they didn't know how to defuse bombs at all, so they had to hurry out and find a way to find foreign help.

Then, after another jump, they finally found an Indian sapper who claimed to have learned how to defuse bombs from the street outside.

When he learned that the white man in Europe and the United States had actually left a timed atomic bomb in the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion, this Indian sapper who was covered in curry-smelling was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly used all his strength, took out eighteen skills, tried to recall the content of the original training, and began to defuse the bomb tremblingly...... It is a great pity that the timing fuse structure on this American atomic bomb seems to be very different from all the timing fuses that this Indian engineer has seen before, and a considerable part of the circuitry and mechanism brackets are something he has never seen.

I don't know if it was because of the wrong cut of a wire or the triggering of a sensing device, but instead of stopping the countdown, the unskilled Indian engineer detonated the atomic bomb and sent himself and everything around him to hell.

“…… Rumble!!! ”

As a result, the soldiers of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, who had just crossed the Shenzhen River, were surprised to see that at the end of the horizon ahead, in the direction of Hong Kong Island in the south, accompanied by a dazzling blazing white light, a huge mushroom cloud was rising from the sky......

At this moment, most of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army soldiers who witnessed all this had dull expressions and collapsed hearts.

“…… Oh my God! Shanghai Tang is already dead, not to mention, now even Hong Kong Island is going to die? ”

Feeling the hot wind from the distant nuclear explosion, a Red Army commissar whispered in a mournful tone with a numb expression.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

All in all, although in the process of implementation, all kinds of chains, all kinds of mistakes, all kinds of plans can not catch up with the changes...... But in any case, in the face of another wave of "nuclear explosion miracle delivery" from the United States of America, the whole earth seems to be trembling under the mushroom cloud.

Then, after dropping a large number of nuclear weapons on all fronts around the world, slaughtering millions of human beings and instilling hatred and fear in the United States of America, President Truman of the White House triumphantly delivered a public speech, first boasting of the remarkable achievements of this round of nuclear strikes, declaring that relying on the powerful nuclear weapons of the United States of America, the enemies of the "freedom camp" suffered an unprecedented and tragic defeat and devastating psychological blow. Then he warned a certain "anti-civilized red evil empire" not to be insatiable, to give up the indiscriminate use of force, and to return to the track of international consultations, otherwise there will be more nuclear explosions in the future.

Finally, he also proudly announced that the representatives of the "legitimate government" of Japan will formally sign a surrender agreement to the United States on 10 October, thus completely ending the Second World War, which brought unprecedented catastrophe to human civilization, and establishing the status of the United States as a victorious power......
