Chapter 85, The Resurgence of Nuclear Explosions
However, no matter how in a dilemma, as the president of the United States, Truman must still find a way to come up with a solution.

——Looking at the Pacific Fleet, which has just suffered a natural disaster, it seems to be completely powerless, and the millions of troops in the country have no way to cross the vast ocean to find the Japanese to kill them. In order to deal with the public and maintain morale, it seems that they only Can use off-the-board tricks to make a big news to divert the focus.

As a result, President Truman turned his mind, and naturally immediately thought of the nuclear mass killer that pinned the hope of American mankind.

"...Well, all in all, the Pacific Fleet is temporarily unable to launch a counterattack until the basic strength is restored. In this case, the fall of the entire Polynesian Islands seems inevitable. But even so, we cannot lose defeat The courage of the enemy, something must be done to cheer the people up..." President Truman said, "...how are we preparing for the next atomic bomb attack?"

"...Well, at present, after this year's emergency production, we have once again possessed nine completed atomic bombs, three of which are still undergoing final maintenance and testing in China, and the remaining six atomic bombs have been deployed to various places around the world. On the front line, it can be put into actual combat at any time."

The Secretary of the Navy, Admiral Ernest King, who had been sitting silently by the corner for a long time before, hurriedly got up, took out a booklet from his pocket, flipped through it, and then replied with some hesitation, "... Next, shall we carry out bombing and bombing of various targets according to the original plan?"

"...Of course!" Truman asked a little strangely, "... Did you encounter any difficulties or problems?"

"...This... the rest of the bombing targets are not a problem! However, on the battlefield of the Japanese archipelago... unfortunately, our army has basically lost the air supremacy at present, and it is difficult to organize a large number of bomber formations to penetrate the defense safely. Atom bombs on enemy cities behind the lines."

Admiral Ernest King said hesitantly, with an embarrassed expression on his face, "...Although the boys on the front line have tried their best, but the Japanese have too many planes, it is hard to imagine, they Where did you get so many fighter jets and bombers... It feels like the total number of planes produced by all mankind in history is not that many! At present, in the Japanese-occupied area of ​​our army, there is basically no safe airport. It fell completely into the enemy's hands. Therefore, it is very difficult for us to ensure that the strategic bombers equipped with atomic bombs can reach the intended target smoothly."

——In fact, according to General Patton, the supreme commander of the Japanese front line, the Japanese planes are simply "as many as locusts"! "No amount of anti-aircraft guns will work, we have to get a super insecticide that is specific to aircraft"!Anyway, this guy seems to have been blown out of his mind.

And in the statistical account books of Japan's wartime base camp, since the establishment of the "light red" new government, if the loss of all military aircraft in Japan is counted, the total loss of all military aircraft has reached an astonishing 300 million There are as many planes...Among them, there are even about 25 planes. Because of improper storage, they were left in the wild in the sun and rain. Before they could go to the sky once, they had to be scrapped...

Some civil servants in Japan's wartime base camp who are used to careful calculations even pointed out with great joy and excitement that at present, only relying on the sale of scrap aluminum and steel collected from aircraft wrecks and tank wrecks can already pay civil servants across the country Salary for at least three years.

——Relying on the crazily running yen money printing machine and the black-tech artifact [chronological vending machine] that can explode fuel, ammunition, planes and tanks without any cost, the Japanese army, which had always been short of supplies, has finally turned into a big one. Local tyrants, that kind of extravagance and waste can be called crazy!
Unfortunately, to face such a heroic opponent head-on, the American pilots on the Japanese battlefield could only cry without tears, and generally expressed their heartache.

In short, in the face of the Japanese bomber formation sometimes making [-] sorties a day, sometimes [-] sorties a day, wave after wave from morning to night, rain or shine, non-stop ultra-high-intensity air strikes, even if the nerves of American officers and soldiers are stronger than steel bars It's thick, and it has to be worn down until it breaks!

Due to the overwhelming and desperate disadvantage in numbers, although the Japanese pilots were all rookies at the beginning, their combat skills were basically zero, and many of them could not even fly their planes back the same way.However, U.S. military pilots are still unable to play the superman role of "one ride as a thousand" for a long time-although they did produce several ace pilots who "killed thousands of machines" on the Japanese battlefield, and they were boasted by American newspapers.

In the very beginning, although the troops were always at a disadvantage, with rich experience, American pilots still hunted those clumsy and immature Japanese rookies in the sky as easily as turkeys, often with great results and small losses.At the same time, there is still power to launch a counterattack, bombing and destroying the front-line airports of the Japanese army.However, due to the desperate "unlimited aircraft + unlimited fuel + unlimited ammunition" plug-in by the Japanese, as long as there is one healthy Japanese who is not dead, even if the American pilots can make a ten to one or even thirty to one exchange Even more, it was impossible to reverse the deteriorating battle situation-as time went by, the Japanese aircraft not only did not decrease, but they fought more and more!What's more terrible is that after paying tuition with their lives time and time again, learning air combat in air combat, those Japanese rookie pilots who were originally very immature, after a few months of fighting, gradually began to become difficult...

——In this unfair arena, the Japanese have planes that can never run out, fuel and ammunition that can never run out, while everything that American pilots need must be transported from across the ocean thousands of miles away Later, during the shipping period, it had to withstand the destruction of the Japanese submarine force.

When this endless air battle lasted until September, the U.S. air power on the front line of the Japanese archipelago was exhausted. The pilots alone killed more than 8 people in total. There is no longer a functioning front-line airfield, and every runway is pitted by bombing... As a result of staggering and devastating losses, the US Strategic Air Force and Army Air Corps have been forced to completely withdraw from the Japanese front.Only the U.S. Naval Air Force still relies on several modified aircraft carriers as mobile bases, constantly maneuvering along the Pacific coast of the Japanese archipelago, and continuing to deal with powerful enemies.

But even so, this kind of perseverance and refusal to flee the battlefield has only the effect of spiritual stimulation.Due to the fact that the safety of the sky over the various ports and docks in the Japanese-occupied area could not be guaranteed, hundreds of thousands of US transport ships and warships were blown up beside the docks. Unloading... The U.S. Army on the frontline battlefield is also bombed every day, and if it hides in the trenches, it is always repeatedly smoked by various poisonous gases.The supply of ammunition was gradually failing to keep up, and morale and combat effectiveness were plummeting like an avalanche.

All in all, after the Japanese aircraft re-ruled the skies of the mother country, for the American expeditionary force who came from thousands of miles away, this invasion has completely lost any possibility of victory, and the rest is just to sacrifice life and blood. Just procrastinating.Faced with such a hopeless battle situation, even if the top commander on the front line is a militant madman like General Patton, he still has to implicitly express to the Pentagon: it is time to consider retreating!
However, the Pentagon cannot just stop the Japanese archipelago so easily.Because war is a continuation of politics, political factors are always interfering in the progress of the war, and even forcing the front-line generals to violate the principles of war. Although the Japanese battlefield has become a meat grinder at this time, from the White House to Congress to the Pentagon , could not bear the political pressure of failing to land in Japan: In the eyes of the people, this is no different from the failure of the war.

Moreover, even if the Japanese battlefield becomes a life-devouring meat grinder, the rich and powerful United States can still afford to grit its teeth. During World War II, the United States had a full 20 aviation reservists and more than 100 million flying enthusiasts. And the ability to train 20 to [-] pilots to restore blood every year.If the Japanese army wanted to exhaust the US aviation power, it would have to lay down [-] to [-] US fighter planes every year!
——Unfortunately, the Japanese who opened the golden elephant leg super cheat now seem to be able to do such a thing...

In any case, in the past few months, the Pentagon has tried its best to cover up all kinds of disasters that happened on the Japanese battlefield, and as always, it has continued to fabricate a large number of lies about annihilating the enemy to stabilize the hearts of the people in the country-in fact, it is not completely a lie , because the U.S. military on the front line has indeed achieved considerable results while suffering heavy losses. The number of enemy planes shot down every month alone must be calculated in units of "ten thousand".

Due to the hype played by the U.S. military’s propaganda department, coupled with the excellent word games played on various battle report documents, even President Truman didn’t notice much of the abnormality—I don’t know whether it was luck or misfortune. In other words, compared to President Roosevelt, who is scheming, well-connected, and has many party members, President Truman, who hastily ascended to power and has a shallow foundation, is really an easy target to be fooled...

However, there is a saying that paper cannot contain fire, war is not finance, and it is impossible to make falsehoods come true by bragging and lying.As Navy Chief Admiral Ernest King was the first to reveal the truth, Army Chief of Staff Marshall had no choice but to bite the bullet and report all the bad news that he had tried his best to conceal before.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"...God! The situation on the Japanese frontline has deteriorated to such an extent?!! Even General Patton has lost confidence?"

After finally learning the real situation of the battle without water, President Truman couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, "...that is to say, our army really can't fight anymore at present, so we can only abandon the existing occupied areas and withdraw Japan? This seems to be completely different from what I heard before!"

"...Although I don't want to admit it, this is indeed the cruel reality we must face, Mr. President."

Admiral Marshall had a tangled expression on his face, "...the current Japanese battlefield has become the French Western Front of the last World War, and in order to support such a large-scale war consumption, the French and the British only needed to walk a few steps back then. They can get ammunition and supplies into their trenches by road, but now our supply line needs to span the entire Pacific Ocean, and we have to be intercepted by submarines and bombed by planes along the way-the logistics department is about to fail."

President Truman gave him an annoyed look, obviously lingering anger at the guy who covered up his failure and fooled himself earlier, but it is obviously not the right time to pursue these issues... He closed his eyes tiredly, and quietly After thinking about it quietly for a while, I finally made a decision.

"...No matter what, let's implement the nuclear strike plan against the remaining targets first. As for Japan... Now that we have lost the air supremacy on the Japanese battlefield, the nuclear strike plan against Japan must be slightly modified. ..."

Truman sighed, "... Besides, didn't we set up a Japanese interim government in Yokohama? Although these guys are really useless, we should try to squeeze them dry before we are forced to abandon Japan The last bit of use value..."

"...can you be more specific about your thoughts, Mr. President," interposed Secretary Hull.

"...It's very simple. First, they can at least sign an unconditional surrender agreement with the United States on behalf of Japan, so as to legally deny the legitimacy of Japanese diehards and red elements, and cheer up the morale of the people in the country. As for the first Two..."

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Truman's mouth, "...For the United States, only dead Japanese are good Japanese..."

——All in all, following the order of the White House, a new wave of nuclear explosion mushroom clouds quickly rose on this troubled planet...
