Great time travel

Chapter 89, The Earth under the Mushroom Cloud (End)

southwestern peninsula of India, the port city of Goa
Standing at the entrance of the air-raid shelter on the hill outside Goa, looking at the mushroom cloud rising from the sea in the distance with complicated eyes, Chandra Bose, chairman of the Congress Party, suddenly had mixed feelings. He didn't know what to say, and at the same time felt All of his clothes were drenched in cold sweat.

Is this the power of an atomic bomb explosion?It really is brighter than a thousand suns! ! !
If the nuclear bomb was not thrown in the open sea, but was thrown on top of his head, then no matter what bunker fortifications are, it really can't hold it!

——According to the plan of the US Pentagon, this wave of global nuclear strikes should be carried out on the same day as much as possible to ensure its surprise.

Unexpectedly, due to the consistent procrastination, chain dropping and stabbing in the nature of Indians, the front-line airport located on the outskirts of New Delhi did not complete the repair and maintenance and lengthen the runway until three days before the nuclear attack. Later, because Indian engineers The reckless and illegal operations of the government and labor caused a huge fire that spread to the entire airport the night before the scheduled nuclear bomb was dropped. 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 the military base in Singapore, unable to complete midway refueling and transition.

To make matters worse, ever since Gandhi and Nehru publicly renounced their claim of independence in order to change skins and protect themselves, and welcomed the return of the US and British allied forces to India, the loyalty of their groups has plummeted in an avalanche-before Gandhi has led the Indian people to go on a hunger strike for so many years of independence and revolution. Although the form is a bit strange, after all, no country in the world was built by starvation, but the slogan and proposition of independence have never changed. However, it has also made thousands of Indian aspiring young people transcend the boundaries of caste and nationality, and they are excited about it.

Unexpectedly, now, after so many years of bloody fighting, 90.00% of the entire land in India has been liberated-although it is torn apart, at least the British are almost driven away, but Gandhi actually changed his tone and asked everyone to reunite. Allegiance to the Emperor... Feelings, you old man, have been fooling us all this time? ! !Anyway, today’s Gandhi is no longer a mahatma in the eyes of most Indians, but the biggest liar and hypocrite in the world. Popularity is ruined.

A considerable number of fans and revolutionary youth who originally followed Gandhi and others felt the despair of being disillusioned, and the anger of being betrayed in their beliefs and cheated in their feelings...Of course, they still continue to persist in armed struggle in western India, The two leaders who insisted on national independence and national liberation, Boss of Goa and Jinnah of Karachi, suddenly became taller in their minds. In a short period of time, the images of Gandhi and Nehru Organizations were so thoroughly infiltrated by their opponents that even Gandhi's secretary became Chandra Bose's intelligence agent.

As a result, when the U.S. military and its "Indian allies" were still arguing about repairing the New Delhi airport, the nuclear strike action plan for the entire Indian battlefield was sent to Chandra Bose and Jinnah. The inner ghost tried his best to delay the speed of the airport's repair, trying to buy time.

In short, the nuclear explosions in Hanoi, Madrid, Jakarta and Shanghai took place for a full five days, and the global news media was in an uproar. The front-line airport in New Delhi completed the initial rush repairs and could accommodate the B bomb carrying the atomic bomb. The -29 strategic bomber took off and landed safely... and taking advantage of this buffer time, as the most likely next target to be bombed, Congress Party Chairman Chandra Bose and Muslim League Chairman Jinnah both tried their best to strengthen their respective base camps Air defense force, and evacuated important personnel to the countryside as quickly as possible to prevent being taken away by the atomic bomb of the US imperialists.

As a result, as soon as the US military's nuclear attack strategic bomber formation took off, someone from New Delhi had already used a radio station to send emergency notifications to Goa and Karachi.When the formation of B-29 "Super Sky Fortress" strategic bombers carrying atomic bombs roared in, the Indian National Army Air Force on the Goa side had long been on standby. All the planes that can go to the sky are gathered here, even the trainer planes are urgently equipped with machine guns to make up the number, and all pilots are strictly ordered to knock down the enemy plane even if it collides, otherwise everyone will die together!
In the end, after an extremely tragic air battle, the B-29 bomber carrying the atomic bomb was beaten up by the Indian pilots who went forward like mad dogs, and fell in thick smoke before flying over Goa. down.At the last moment before the crash, the American engineers on the plane resolutely detonated the atomic bomb, causing a bright mushroom cloud to rise on the sea about [-] kilometers away from downtown Goa...

——Looking at the mushroom cloud rising from the sea in the distance, Mr. Chandra Bose couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Indeed, watching the mushroom cloud rising to the sky at such a close distance is really frightening, but in view of the limited power of the atomic bombs in the early days of this era, the damage actually caused was not serious—after a distance of twenty kilometers, the atomic bombs The shock wave is no longer enough to destroy any buildings stronger than thatched huts, and the light radiation and heat waves produced by the nuclear explosion can only make people feel a scorching heat at this distance.

Then, although the huge sea waves caused by the atomic bomb explosion will hit the port of Goa, first of all, the energy of the waves has been greatly attenuated by the distance of [-] kilometers; secondly, Chandra Bose, who has received full warning, has already Residents in the coastal areas were evacuated before the war, so the number of casualties should not be very large, at least in today's world war era when at least tens of thousands of people die on the battlefield every day, it is not worth mentioning at all.

However, according to the interviews with nuclear physics experts in the report of the Soviet Radio Station, there will be troublesome radiation pollution next.At least the fish, shrimp and shellfish in the sea area below the mushroom cloud cannot be eaten for a long time.And because the citizens of Goa have suffered from excessive radiation under the mushroom cloud, their chances of getting cancer will greatly increase when they get old and frail... However, in Chandra Bose's view, this should not be the case. What a big problem, given the average life expectancy of Indians at the moment, most of them probably won't live to be 50 or [-] years old at all.

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

"...It seems that the speed of moving the headquarters to Mumbai has to be further accelerated!" He murmured.

At the same time, after learning that the nuclear strike plan was leaked and that the nuclear bombing of Goa failed, another U.S. nuclear strike bomber fleet targeting the Muslim League on the Indian battlefield temporarily changed its bombing target—it did not go head-to-head with the heavily guarded and heavily armed forces. Instead, they turned around and bombed Rawalpindi, an important town on the upper Indus River to the north.Since Jinnah had mobilized almost all the aircraft in his hands to the port of Karachi, Rawalpindi's air defense forces were extremely empty.The U.S. Army dropped an atomic bomb on the city center with ease, reducing the former British Indian Army base to rubble...

So far, the two nuclear explosions carried out by the US and British allied forces in the Hindustan area have caused a total of about 30 casualties, but failed to frighten any local indigenous rebels, but instead aroused wider anger and commotion , and the guerrilla warfare that is blooming all over India.

Hong Kong Island, Central, Governor's House
Accompanied by the rattling sound of Sten-style submachine guns and the blasting roar of engineer explosives, a group of black soldiers wearing American or British uniforms first killed several Hong Kong local guards who were still standing on their posts, and then blasted open the gate of the Hong Kong Governor’s Mansion. , broke into the deserted Governor's Mansion...

Obviously, this is a mutiny, or a self-help operation of these abandoned black soldiers.

——After the Red Army won the Battle of Guangzhou and wiped out 30 enemies, the reactionary forces in the entire Guangdong Province immediately collapsed.The remnants of the party and the state fled to eastern Guangdong one after another, occupying Chaozhou and continuing to hold on.After losing [-] troops, the US-British allied forces who "helped the war with friendship" also fled to Hong Kong in an extremely embarrassing situation.

According to common sense, there will be a fierce or short-lived battle to defend Hong Kong, just like when the Japanese army attacked Hong Kong in 1941.And at the beginning, the commanders of the US-British Allied Forces in Hong Kong did indeed arrange it this way-while the Red Army that had just ended the Battle of Guangzhou was still resting and clearing up the remaining enemies in the Pearl River Delta countryside, and did not continue to attack Hong Kong for the time being, the Governor's Office While taking in the broken soldiers and rebuilding the establishment, they recruited a large number of laborers and rushed to repair the Drunken Bay defense line that had been abandoned since the Japanese invasion, as well as the forts in Stonecutters and the forts in Jardine's Lookout.

At first glance, it seems that it is determined to fight another battle to defend Hong Kong-and, this time the situation seems to be better than in 1941, because the Allied forces have the command of the sea in Hong Kong and can continuously send Reinforcements and supplies, instead of sitting in a sad city like last time.

But not long after that, the situation gradually changed subtly—first, the project to rebuild the defense line of Drunken Bay was inexplicably abandoned halfway, and became an unfinished building; the British Royal Navy’s Eastern Fleet, which was originally stationed in Victoria Bay, suddenly anchored in the middle of the night. Withdrew, and at the same time took away a large number of soldiers and expatriates.Then, more and more military officers, expatriates and wealthy people took boats to run overnight, and the entire Hong Kong market was in panic.

By the beginning of October, there were still about [-] troops stationed in Hong Kong, but the traditional American, British and white people had all run away, leaving only blacks, Indians, Arabs, Indians, Vietnamese, and Mexicans with mixed Indian ancestry. Except for a few people who were placed in the defense line, most of them were in a very strange state of herding sheep, and no one gave them orders. No one cares about their daily life, the Government of Hong Kong just asks them to go to the port warehouse to collect food supplies once a week...

As a result, these soldiers of the miscellaneous army who were placed on the ground actually ushered in a rare leisurely vacation in the gap between gunpowder and bombs.

Since there is nothing to do right now, after eating and drinking enough, this group of terrified soldiers can't help but start thinking wildly - the situation in Hong Kong seems to be obvious now, those noble white masters are running away, and then They are going to throw these second-class, third-class and fourth-class people into the Chinese prisoner-of-war camps... From the perspective of these tired, war-weary foreign soldiers who have no good impression of the US and British governments, this seems to be a way out.

——I heard that the slogan of the Chinese Red Army has always been preferential treatment of prisoners of war... No matter how much water is mixed in it, as long as it is not the same as the death camps of Nazi Germany, then at least it is much better than dying in a foreign country. Chances of being able to come home alive...

All in all, some of them chose to change their appearance and escaped from the team, while most of them waited numbly to raise their hands and surrender as prisoners of war—even the top officials obviously did not plan to fight another battle to defend Hong Kong. Why should these unlucky ones who have been abandoned be in such a hurry to die?

However, in October, as various detailed news of the Shanghai nuclear explosion came in, these motley soldiers of colored race from the United States and Britain, who had been determined to resign themselves to their fate, couldn't help but tremble in their hearts: those white men who had already run away People, before leaving, you must have left an atomic bomb for self-destruct somewhere in Hong Kong, right?hell!God bless!We never thought of dying for you white-skinned bastards!

In such a terrified environment right now, all kinds of terrifying rumors can always spread at the fastest speed...

Soon, under the fear of being exposed to the divine light of a nuclear explosion at close range, a group of active black soldiers took the lead in attacking the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion, which was most suspected of hiding a nuclear bomb in their eyes.After easily killing the few stupid Hong Kong guards outside the door and breaking into the building of the Governor's Mansion, these black soldiers were not without horror to find that the entire Governor's Mansion has been full of people since they didn't know when. Go empty! ! !

Then, what is even more frightening is that after searching the empty Governor's Mansion, they really found an atomic bomb in a secret room!

An atomic bomb that has a timed fuze installed and has entered the countdown!
At this moment, the mouths of all the black soldiers on the scene were wide open, and their moods were broken.

Oh, God!Hurry up and send down a bolt of lightning to strike those shameless white masters to death!
Fortunately, the instrument above showed that there was still an hour before the detonation... It might be too late to escape, so hurry up and find someone to dismantle the bomb!
However, none of these black engineers knew how to dismantle bombs, so they had to go out and try to find foreign aid.

Next, after a lot of fuss, they finally found an Indian engineer from the street outside who claimed to have learned bomb disposal.

When he learned that the European and American white masters actually left a timed atomic bomb in the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion, the Indian engineer who smelled like curry suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly pulled out all the stops and came up with eighteen skills , Trying to recall the content of the original training, tremblingly began to dismantle the bomb... It is a pity that the timing fuze structure on this American atomic bomb seems to be very different from all the timing fuzes this Indian engineer has seen before. He had never seen a part of the circuits and enclosures before, and when he had guessed and dismantled it to the last step, he finally had something wrong.

——I don’t know if it was because I cut a wrong wire or triggered some sensor device. In short, this unskilled Indian engineer not only failed to stop the countdown, but directly detonated the atomic bomb, destroying himself and everything around him. All sent to hell.

"……boom!!!"

As a result, the soldiers of the Chinese Workers', 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 white light, a huge mushroom cloud rising from the sky to the ground rise……

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

"...God! Not to mention that Shanghai Bund is dead, is Hong Kong Island going to die now?"

Feeling the hot wind generated by the nuclear explosion in the distance, a Red Army political commissar whispered in a sad tone with a numb expression.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

All in all, although all kinds of chains were lost during the implementation process, all kinds of mistakes were made, and various plans could not keep up with the changes... But in any case, facing another wave of "nuclear explosion magic power delivery" by the United States of America, the whole earth seems to be They were all shivering under the mushroom cloud.

Next, after dropping a large number of nuclear weapons that "gather the hope of the United States of America" ​​on all fronts of the world, slaughtering millions of human beings, and creating enough hatred and fear for the United States of America At the White House, President Truman triumphantly delivered a public speech. He first boasted about the illustrious record of this round of nuclear strikes, and declared that relying on the powerful nuclear weapons of the United States of America, the enemies of the "freedom camp" suffered unprecedented damage. A tragic failure and a devastating psychological blow.Then it warned a certain "anti-civilization red evil empire" not to be greedy, to give up the use of force, and to return to the track of international negotiations, otherwise there will be more nuclear explosions in the future.

In the end, he also proudly announced that the representative of Japan's "legitimate government" will formally sign a surrender agreement with the United States on October [-], completely ending the Second World War, which brought unprecedented catastrophe to human civilization, legally. , and established the status of the victorious nation of the United States...
