Chapter 146: The Apocalypse of Nuclear War (Part II) (Happy Singles' Day!) )
January 23, 1949, Manhattan, New York, East Coast, USA
Once the gateway to the new world, the economic and financial center of the United States of America, it shuddered at the echoing sound of air raid sirens. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Every street on the island of Manhattan is clogged with cars with luggage strapped to their roofs, and the sidewalks on the side of the road are also crowded with citizens dragging suitcases and bags ready to flee. All kinds of noisy car horns, screams, and fights came one after another, and the scene was chaotic.
-- After the nuclear bombing of a city on the West Coast, the Pentagon, which was not affected by the change of government, began to evacuate the residents of the big cities on the East Coast and persuade them to move to the countryside far away from the city for a while.
However, after all, it was only a few days, and the whole of New York did not yet have a sense of urgency to face war and destruction. At present, the large amount of materials and industrial equipment scattered in the city of New York has not had time to be transferred, and the evacuation of millions of New Yorkers has just begun, and there are many citizens who are greedy for homes and possessions are reluctant to leave. However, the terrifying figure of the latest Soviet jet strategic ultra-long-range bomber has already appeared on the radar fluorescent screen of the patrol ship off the coast of New York...... As a result, as bursts of sharp and loud air raid sirens suddenly sounded on the streets of New York, which had been busy with traffic for a long time, millions of New Yorkers, who were unprepared, suddenly fell into extreme chaos.
Previously, in order to show the government's preparedness for war, the state government mobilized a number of National Guard troops to station in New York City, originally to suppress riots and maintain order. However, as soon as the air raid sirens sounded, for the first time, rookies who had never been on the battlefield, really felt the horror of war, and most of them felt frightened - they thought they could take up arms at any time to shoot at the enemy's infantry, but they could not stop the nuclear bombs falling from the sky, and even hiding in bomb shelters was useless. On the previous West Coast, the Air Force had already proven their incompetence with facts. They were no longer able to defend the American sky, and the Soviets could attack any American city from the sky at will without any scruples, and easily destroy everything they wanted with the mushroom cloud of the atomic bomb, while the Americans on the ground could only watch it happen, completely powerless, and even unable to save their own lives.
As a result, as soon as the air raid sirens sounded on the streets of New York, the morale of these National Guard soldiers, which was not very high, suddenly became wiped out -- the high-altitude bombers of the Soviets were about to bring nuclear bombs overhead, so what was the use of still walking around the city of New York, could it be to use their flesh and blood to resist the high-temperature shock wave of the nuclear explosion? Or shoot down a Soviet jet bomber at stratospheric altitude with a rifle in your hand?
In the face of the threat of a nuclear explosion that could not be resisted by manpower, the National Guard stationed in the city of New York immediately disintegrated itself, and the members of the team, carrying their own guns and ammunition, snatched cars from the street and fled to the suburbs. When the rest of the citizens saw that the soldiers had fled, they immediately joined the fleeing procession......
A terrible wave of refugees erupted. Millions of New Yorkers recklessly broke into any store on the street, knocked over shopkeepers trying to protect their property, ransacked all the food, fuel, clothing and groceries they could find, and then began to flee from their neighborhoods in all the transportation they could find and all the belongings they could take.
At this moment, there was only one common thought left in everyone's mind, that is, to escape to the suburbs before the nuclear explosion landed, and the farther away from the city center, especially Manhattan, as far away as possible, so as not to suffer the fish in the pond in the next nuclear explosion that was likely to befall him. On the highways leading from downtown New York to the suburbs, there are huge convoys of fleeing people, and there are severe congestion everywhere. On this chaotic road, all class divisions have been blurred, whether you drive a Rolls-Royce or a Ford truck. Heaven treats everyone equally, and it doesn't just because whoever has a more luxurious car can run faster. Some stingy guys piled up all their possessions on top of the vehicle, from pots and pans to furniture and clothes, boxes and bags, food and drink, piled up into a hill, which seriously blocked the view of the vehicles behind them, causing many traffic accidents......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
However, the wave of exodus from New York has come too late. Just as the black bartenders in Brooklyn and the securities traders on Wall Street were running side by side on the streets, a dazzling bright light lit up from behind them, instantly drowning everything around them......
“…… Ahh The rest of the people also felt as if their skin was smoking, as if they had been roasted by fire......
A securities trader in a vest endured the smoke from his clothes and the burns all over his body, and after the light had dimmed for a while, he instinctively turned his head to look, only to immediately open his mouth in extreme horror, completely stunned by the terrible sight before him.
-- I heard a loud bang in the sky over Manhattan Island, and the blue sky was stirring up with a raging fire, the air became as hot as the hearth, the flammable paper advertisements were on fire, the flowers and plants on the roadside dried up in an instant, and the human skin was instantly scorched and smoking......
Then, in the direction of the light just now, the destructive power far exceeded that of any tsunami and hurricane, and in an instant, it spread rapidly, and all the buildings were quickly ignited or crushed by the shock wave as if they were made of paper. The steel-and-iron skyscrapers, as if made of cardboard, twisted, disintegrated, exploded in the shock wave, and finally collapsed and collapsed. The people who stayed inside the skyscraper were swept into the air like ants by the wind, and they turned into ashes before they hit the ground. Cars, buses, trams, and small boats on the East River were all swept around like matchboxes, some of which were smashing in their own direction!
However, before a car or tram could smash head-on, a violent shock wave arrived first, and in an instant, all the nearby air was shattered by the hot high-speed air current, and everyone's clothes quickly burned, and then all the internal organs and flesh were burned, leaving only a pair of charred bones, which broke apart inch by inch in the shock wave, and finally fell to the ground, turning into a pool of ashes scattered by the wind.
In this way, New York, a prosperous metropolis known as the "Big Apple" and the famous No. 1 city in North America, finally turned into a hell of fire that could hardly survive in the blink of an eye in the catastrophe of a nuclear explosion that could not be resisted by manpower -- the intense light waves at the time of the nuclear explosion made thousands of people blind immediately; And the terrifying heat reduced everything at the center of the explosion to ashes. The roof tiles and the bricks and stones of the houses melted and turned from black to olive, and the surface of the concrete elements was burned with a layer of shiny glass, which caused a fire in the trees and houses within a radius of several kilometers...... Next, the shock wave and air wave formed by the huge air pressure difference at the moment of the explosion destroyed all the buildings along the way. Even outside of New York City, New Jersey, people can still feel the scorching storm blowing in their faces, bringing the breath of death!
The people and animals in the vicinity of the blast vaporized and disappeared like dry ice at the moment of the explosion, leaving at most a faint humanoid trail on the stone slabs and walls. A little further away from the heart of the explosion, the scorched remains of men, women, and children can be seen. Farther afield, some people were lucky enough to be alive, but either their skin was badly burned or their eyes were burned into two holes.
Within a kilometer or two of the blast, as long as a person stands in the open air or near a window, his clothes will burn, and his bare skin will be severely burned from the burning. The instantaneous heat caused by the intense light radiation also ignited a wide range of fires in all directions, burning everything that could catch fire, and finally converging into a rapidly spreading sea of fire until there was nothing left to burn.
Moments later, the shock wave formed the most violent superstorm in New York's history, which flattened countless majestic buildings in an instant, such as the famous Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty, which symbolized New York and the United States in the world, all of which were reduced to rubble in the flash of a nuclear explosion......
On the other hand, a large ball of fire, carrying the blazing smoke and dust, was rolling upwards violently, expanding larger and brighter...... The evaporated water vapor gradually formed a straw hat-shaped cloud above the fireball, which mixed with the dust column on the ground, and finally became a huge mushroom cloud that stood above the sky and the stratosphere, from the ground of New York City to the stratosphere, like the legendary Tower of Babel in the Bible!
In this regard, a New York Times reporter who escaped by chance made the following description in the record in a lyrical tone:
“…… It was as if another sun appeared in the sky, shining brightly, and huge clouds of smoke rose into the sky, and a hot wind swept in, destroying everything on the earth...... The terrible flames that seemed to erupt from hell turned the solid earth into flowing lava, the rivers, lakes and seas boiled, the fish were boiled and floated on the water, the prosperous cities were destroyed, the people covered in fire fled in all directions until they turned to ashes, and the sky began to rain black and poured on the bodies of the survivors, burning their skins, and people were terrified and watched the end come......"
-- Like any previous nuclear explosion, the mushroom clouds in New York contained large amounts of radioactive fallout, which mixed with the water vapor in the clouds, creating highly radioactive "black rain" that polluted rivers and ponds, and killed most of the refugees who drank the radioactive sewage within a week.
And, just as the first mushroom cloud rose into the sky of New York, the end of the horizon once again shone like the sun......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
- The sky burned, the atmosphere began to evaporate, the wind was mixed with the energy of destruction, and the whole world was burned to ashes......
This may not seem like a reality, but it is happening in a series of large cities on the East Coast of the United States.
Rich and poor, soldiers and civilians alike, can only hold their heads and wail, and then be indiscriminately burned to ashes.
Everything was incinerated, both living and inanimate, leaving only a white ash to remain.
-- At a time when New York, the most prosperous metropolis in the entire capitalist world, is gradually heading for destruction under the shadow of a mushroom cloud of nuclear explosions, Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, Boston in Massachusetts, Richmond and Norfolk in Virginia, Trenton in New Jersey, Miami in Florida, Charleston in South Carolina, Savannah in Georgia, New Orleans in Louisiana, Baltimore in Maryland, and Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia, Canada. They also became targets for Soviet jet ultra-long-range strategic bombers to drop atomic bombs.
At this time, the US Air Force had no means of countermeasures at all, and the gunboat planes used for high-altitude interceptions were still being modified at this time, and there was no way to defend against the enemy for a while. I could only watch as mushroom clouds rose one after another, destroying more than half of the famous cities in the elite area of the East Coast of the United States.
So, Einstein, who had just left Princeton University with a group of nuclear physicists and was evacuated to a country farm, looked at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance in a daze, and muttered a war poem from the ancient Indian mythological epic "Mahabharata":
“…… A single bombardment squandered all the destructive power of the universe!
Pillars of blazing smoke and flames rose into the sky as bright as ten thousand suns......
It is a weapon unknown to nobody, a thunderbolt of steel, a messenger of death, that has reduced the entire race of Reshili and Andaka to ashes......
Their limbs burned beyond recognition, and only their hair and nails fell to the side,
The pottery crumbled for no apparent reason, the feathers of the birds turned white, and after dark, all the crops were attacked......
To escape the fire, the soldiers jumped into the river and washed their weapons as they washed their bodies......
The intoxicated and victorious, the merciless wicked, the wielding of steel and lightning, are the destroyers of that nation......"
At this moment, Mr. Einstein, who had never been interested in war, finally discovered with great sadness that the United States of America, which had accepted his family at the time of the Nazis' wanton anti-Semitism and whom he regarded as his last refuge, seemed to be about to be destroyed by the atomic power he had discovered!

On 22 January, the third day of President MacArthur's inauguration, 12 cities on the East Coast, including New York, Philadelphia, and Miami, were simultaneously attacked by Soviet jet ultra-long-range strategic bombers with nuclear bombs coming from the direction of the Atlantic Ocean. Although Washington, the capital of the Union, was not hit by a nuclear bomb, a striking mushroom cloud still rose in Baltimore, a few dozen kilometers away from Washington.
So, looking at the mushroom cloud rising at the end of the horizon, President MacArthur and his staff members had no choice but to give up their plan to go to the Pentagon to take command, and continued to hide in the countryside, while praying to God one by one with great devotion that the disaster would be ended sooner.
On 23 July, when the mushroom clouds on the east coast had just dissipated and the ruins of New York were still full of mourning, 12 jet Soviet "flying bears" with nuclear bombs crossed the Pacific Ocean and visited the west coast of the United States again. San Francisco, which was lucky enough to slip through the net last time, did not escape the doom this time, and was directly hit by an atomic bomb in the city and razed to the ground. West Coast cities such as Sacramento, the capital of California, Pasadena, San Jose and Salem, Oregon, have also suffered.
On 24 July, President MacArthur, who had just returned to the White House, had not yet had time to figure out the circumstances of the attacks on the US mainland in the past two days. The Soviet jet ultra-long-range strategic bomber group in the Atlantic direction crossed the ocean with 12 atomic bombs for the second time, and carried out a second nuclear explosion on New York, killing a large number of New Yorkers who were wandering in their hometowns and unwilling to leave. At the same time, it also bombed the industrial cities of Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Milwaukee in the Great Lakes region, Toronto and Montreal in Canada, and Atlanta, New Orleans, and Houston in the southern United States.
In this way, if we count the six cities that were nuclear bombed on the west coast of the United States before President MacArthur took office, then in just one week from beginning to end, a full 42 Soviet atomic bombs were dropped on the soil of the United States of America, causing tens of millions of casualties. And the loss of economic property is already incalculable - the instant destruction of Wall Street alone is enough to turn the United States upside down!
What is even more terrifying is that in the face of such an arrogant Soviet air butcher, the US Air Force actually has no countermeasure ability, nor can it come up with countermeasures that can effectively defend the territorial airspace of the US mainland -- the only B-36 "Peacemaker" bomber in the hands of the US military that can climb to an altitude of 20,000 meters to confront enemy planes, and the B-36 "Peacemaker" bomber, which was being urgently converted into gunboat planes, has now been destroyed along with the factory in the nuclear explosion, and the remaining B-36 "Peacemaker" is still intact. Highway and spare parts manufacturers were destroyed by nuclear bombs, and the conversion process was slowed down considerably. Moreover, even if a batch of B-36 high-altitude gunboat aircraft is successfully modified, it is unknown whether it will be able to stop the Soviet jet bombers at that time.
The most terrible thing is that even if the B-36 high-altitude gunboat aircraft is in front of the Soviet jet ultra-long-range strategic bombers, it really has the strength to support an air defense line. But because the number of B-36s is too small, it is not enough to protect the entire United States - in fact, it is already the limit to be able to keep the skies above the capital, Washington, D.C., and several major cities. The other minor cities were left to suffer from the bombing.
However, the destructive power of an atomic bomb to a city on the ground is definitely much higher than that of a thousand ordinary aerial bombs.
No matter how you look at it, continuing the war will only turn into a one-sided ravages of the United States until its final defeat.
As a result, President MacArthur, helplessly, saw that the war could no longer continue, and although there were still 2 million federal troops in the United States, they could only be used to suppress the local rebellion, so the president had to tentatively hand over an olive branch to the Soviets in an attempt to negotiate a decent armistice. However, the appetite of Stalin and the Kremlin's "red brains" far exceeded MacArthur's most pessimistic assumptions!
“…… Unconditional surrender?!! Are you kidding? Is this to make me the last president of the United States in infinite disgrace? ”

PS: In order to protest Trump's election, American college students announced mass absenteeism and hemp-smoking ♂ protests - will there be mass abortion protests next? Didn't you see that Trump's supporters were already ready to raise their guns? The American white left is indeed a magical creature comparable to the death house of Heisei.
The Japanese side is even more living in their own dreams, and yesterday they forcibly passed the TPP approval bill, and the explanation for this is that "Trump is inexperienced, and it is easy to persuade him to change his mind" -- before the Sunflower Treasure Book arrived, he swung his knife from the palace first. But the result is that "even if you are in the palace, you may not succeed". The cautious Trump immediately went to the White House to communicate with President O'Black, and this morning the U.S. government officially announced the shooting of TPP. Now it's up to us when the yen will collapse. Someone has already put hundreds of thousands of things in their shopping carts on Amazon in Japan, and they are bent on waiting for the yen to depreciate before they start buying.
In the end, Marvel's Avengers are still supporting Hillary, and the videos are so disgusting that I have a bad impression of Captain America - even though he is just an actor. It's the governor and Batman who are supporting Trump. In general, the little fresh meat is Hillary, and the Trump is a macho man. (To be continued.) )
