Chapter 157: The Last Gunshot (I)

Time is like an elusive stream, and at the upper end of the stream, which we cannot see, there is always a mean old man full of evil tastes, who manipulates the floodgates of the; The time of sorrow and melancholy is infinitely extended, but the time of happiness and warmth is fleeting, and fortunately, this thin time seems to be the same for everyone.

For the American people in 1949, the year of bathing in the mushroom cloud of nuclear explosions was really extremely difficult and long.

Of course, a significant number of Americans did not live to the end of the year, so it was not too long for them.

Beginning in late March, the Soviet Union's ultra-long-range strategic bomber force, which had been interrupted, began to launch strategic nuclear strikes against the United States again, and it intensified and intensified -- as more and more Soviet Tu-100 "Flying Bear" supersonic ultra-long-range intercontinental strategic bombers rolled off the production line, left the factory for service, and were quickly put into strategic bombing across the ocean by the Kremlin. At the peak of the nuclear attack on the United States that year, 200 to 300 Soviet atomic bombs were detonated every day across the Americas, and more than 90 percent of them fell on the territory of the United States...... Due to the high frequency of nuclear explosions, the Soviet Union's original nuclear arsenal was quickly depleted, so much so that it had to continue to ramp up the production of more atomic bombs......

On the other hand, the people of the New World, especially those of North America, are struggling in scorching purgatory day after day, with infinite fear and despair, watching their familiar homeland slowly turn into a radiant wasteland, especially the Americans, whose homes are located near the densely populated major metropolitan areas, can see mushroom clouds rising in a certain direction on the horizon almost every few days...... If they're not dead already.

Across the United States and Canada, there are almost two relatively safe cities left (just that they will not be bombed), one of which is the port of Tacoma, Washington, which was landed and entrenched by the Japanese Expeditionary Force on the west coast, and the other is Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States of America, on the east coast......

September 22, 1949, Washington, D.C., United States

In the distant sky to the east, the low roar of jet engines and the sharp and mournful sound of air raid sirens suddenly sounded in the empty streets of the federal capital. The few passers-by immediately rushed to find the nearest bomb shelter and squeezed into it.

Next, with the futile thumping of anti-aircraft guns on the ground, a flying monster made by the evil Red Empire, roaring from a height far beyond the limit of the range of anti-aircraft guns, came to the sky over Washington with the fruits of the Soviet military-industrial power, ignored the artillery fire on the ground, proudly opened the magazine in the abdomen, and dropped 50 kg, 100 kg, 250 kg and 500 kg aerial bombs, gradually growing from small black dots to size, and finally more than 20 fires rose on both sides of the Potomac River... … All of a sudden, metal chips, charred corpses, and ashes of vegetation and trees, along with the smoke and scorching smell of gunpowder that seemed to come from hell, filled the ruined streets of Washington, D.C., and it was almost disgusting......

-- In order to preserve the next negotiable object in the radioactive wasteland once known as the United States of America, the Soviet Union publicly promised from the outset that it would not carry out a nuclear bomb on Washington, D.C., and indeed complied with that promise, and so far did not allow a single nuclear bomb to explode in the District of Columbia, where the capital is located. However, the conventional bombing of the city of Washington by the Soviet Strategic Air Force was still carried out from time to time...... Hundreds of tons of incendiary and high-explosive bombs have blown large swathes of Washington's urban areas into rubble and the federal government to pieces.

Finally, when the air raid passed, under the blood-red sunset of the autumn wind, a well-dressed old man got out of the White House bomb shelter and hobbled towards the courtyard surrounded by several bodyguards...... Although it can be seen from the dress and pomp that he should be a noble guy, at this time, there is no longer the temperament of a superior with empty eyes on his body, let alone any arrogance.

He is the current President of the United States of America, Douglas Brown. MacArthur - the best graduate in the history of the United States Military Academy at West Point, a former five-star general and Philippine marshal...... But now he is just an unfortunate person who has just become president and is forced to face the fate of losing his country.

All the high-spirited, arrogant and confident star aura of the past has long since been eroded from President MacArthur.

Now MacArthur is just a dying man tormented by desperate fate, and he is being dragged to the end of his fate exhausted.

At this moment, although the Soviet planes have long since flown away, the suburbs of Washington, which had just finished bombing, were still filled with black smoke and dust, and a heavy bomb was also hit around the White House, blowing up the flagpole in front of the door to only a crater. MacArthur, accompanied by his bodyguards, walked to the crater, bent down, reached out and gently touched the scorched earth, and his eyes could not help but flash tears of unwillingness and humiliation......

Although he has dreamed of one day entering the White House and reaching the pinnacle of his life since many years ago. But MacArthur never imagined that when his dream came true, his presidential career would be so desperate and humiliating, it was simply worse than death.

-- From the first day of becoming president, the United States had been shattered by repeated nuclear bombings, and he and his staff had exhausted themselves and tried hard to think about countermeasures, but in the end they came to the conclusion that in addition to despair, it seemed that MacArthur was destined to become the last president and be hung on the gallows!

Then, as Soviet nuclear bombs rained down like meteors, communications between the White House and the local states and overseas troops began to be cut off from April onwards, and domestic communications were completely paralyzed. By June, President MacArthur was no longer out of the District of Columbia, and there were no more official letters and telegrams in the states.

Then, even on this one-third of an acre of land in Washington, the capital, not many people are willing to listen to the words of the president.

ps: The economy is too bad in these years, and the British Navy will no longer equip warships with missiles from next year, and will only use artillery to fight, and will return to the era of big ships and giant guns. The British Army was also reduced to a measly 50,000 men. Despite this, Britain's military spending last year was still as high as $56.2 billion, ranking fifth in the world, second only to Russia, which has been fighting a fierce war for many years. The extent of such corruption and waste...... It seems that the British Ministry of Defense really needs to put things in order.

Then, the price of electricity in Taiwan, which is generated with love, soared threefold. Sure enough, it was full of human touch, and the whole island was wailed. Electricity has become so expensive all of a sudden, and the service industry is just that, at most the lights are dimmed, how can a factory as a large power consumer open?

It feels like the whole world likes to carry out surprise attacks lately, and this is the case with India's demonetisation, Taiwan's introduction of radioactive food, and the increase in electricity prices...... (To be continued.) )
