Chapter 39: Surrender
August 6, Tinian Island Base.
"Today is a memorable day, all of you here, we have made history, Japan announced its unconditional surrender at 9 o'clock this morning, and the war is over!"
Henry ignored MacArthur's chirping and wandered around the airport alone, waiting for the U.S. military transport plane to take off back to the United States.
A few years later, Bradley Sr. would propose to remove MacArthur from all his duties, the first feat of a five-star general to remove a five-star general.
Japan can't go either, and within 5 days, 90,000 people will die directly in Ogura and 180,000 in Hiroshima, not including those affected by radiation, and nearly 500,000 Japanese will die slowly in the future.
Although you won't be killed directly if you go to Japan, you can't stand looking at Henry as a victim, right?
Is there a difference between a nuclear bomb and the Nanjing Massacre? Isn't the shrine and the Hiroshima Nuclear Weapons Memorial Park a contradiction?
Henry didn't have the slightest clue in his heart, looking at the black-brown earth that appeared after the blood dried up nearby.
This is the result of everyone's choice, only those who are stronger have more opportunities to choose, and in turn only those who make countless right choices can become stronger.
"It's a pity that many people often don't even have the opportunity to choose, and the opportunity to choose is fleeting and difficult to seize...".
"Lieutenant Colonel, it's time for us to go" Major Paul also had to go back first, including all the operatives, back to the United States.
"Here, let's go".
The group got on the plane, and the plane they flew flew to the island of Hawaii and then to New York, racing against the rotation of the earth.
"Lieutenant Colonel Henry, what do you think of the outcome of this operation?" After Richard communicated with the others, he was brought to Henry. This was supposed to be a 'little boy' pilot.
Henry looked at the others and saw that the others were also looking at him. "I think the casualties caused by the dropping of the atomic bomb are no different from the Pearl Harbor and the Nanjing Massacre, the only difference is that if we had invaded someone else and used the atomic bomb that day, then we would not be forgiven."
"But now, for the sake of the civilians who were killed by the Japanese soldiers, for the sake of the countries that were invaded by Japan, we stopped the war and paid the debt with blood. Forgiving them is God's business, we just do what people and countries have been invaded, what we want to do but can't. ”
"Are there any more questions, lost little lambs," Henry asked everyone with a smile curling at the corner of his mouth, his smiling face looking very relaxed.
"Forgiving them is God's business, and we are only responsible for sending them to God." Co-pilot Robert said happily.
"I will not drop an atomic bomb when the United States invades others, even if the consequence is retirement!" Major Paul said.
"I don't think I've opened a Pandora's box, I've opened peace, and I don't want only the United States to have nuclear weapons." Colonel Parsons said with some emotion. He is another technologist and the one who opens the safety device of a nuclear bomb every time.
"Okay, all the words, when we return to the United States, let's tell the media, our trip is not short."
Henry interrupted everyone's various feelings, some things are too wrong to say, and in the end, if they are off topic and are known, the consequences will be very serious.
Nine hours later, the group returned to New York and signed various agreements, and now is not the time to make it public, although the countries that can afford to know know it, but there is still to be a need to do secrecy.
When everything is done, Henry can finally go home with his girlfriends, and there is one more Louise. When she came to the United States to know the situation, she reacted the most violently.
But there was no way, Henry was very domineering, and directly said (sleeping) clothes, every day I have no strength and can't go anywhere, and I can't go back to France.
After a week of rest at home, Henry threw himself into the laboratory, for the genetic serum, and for the industrial park in another dimension.
