Chapter 1, A Christmas Story During World War III ([-])

On the afternoon of December 25, [-], the United States, Washington, White House

Although it is the Christmas holiday, in the vortex of this world war, the staff of the White House still have to work overtime, busy with files or boxes.And for some reason, it seemed that everyone looked gloomy, walked in a hurry, and seldom smiled.

Except for the Christmas trees erected in the corners and courtyards at unknown times, there is almost no festive atmosphere in the entire White House.

In the Oval Office, President Truman, who has become increasingly emaciated recently, is reviewing documents with his head drooping.Although under the Christmas tree in the corner of the room, there were already piles of colorfully packaged exquisite presents, but he still didn't have any desire to unwrap them until now.

——No way, all fronts are being defeated, and the mood is really bad, so naturally I can't get excited about these Christmas gifts.

According to the latest statistical data collected by President Truman, the Third World War has only started for more than two months, and the US military has lost as many as one million troops.At the western end of Eurasia, the U.S. military retreated from Spain and Italy all the way to Iraq and Iran, and completely lost the entire Mediterranean in one breath!At the eastern end of the Eurasian continent, the U.S. military was also forced to abandon the occupied areas of the Japanese archipelago, almost returning to the state after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The astronomical amount of materials, personnel, and funds lost during the period, even with the wealth and power of the United States, still felt a heart-wrenching pain.

At present, the only good news is frequent and the Philippine battlefield, which has made MacArthur shine, has brought great pain to the Pentagon's logistics department. With the abandonment of the Japanese occupied area and the fall of all the islands in the South Pacific, from the west coast of the United States across the Pacific to the Philippines. The route has now been completely cut off.Now every piece of artillery and every bullet that Admiral MacArthur asks for must first be shipped from New York Harbor on the east coast, then across the Atlantic Ocean, around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, and then continue across the Indian Ocean to Singapore, and finally from Singapore arrived in the Philippines across the South China Sea so that it could be delivered to MacArthur.Due to the twists and turns of the route, the entire journey is as long as [-] kilometers, which is equivalent to circling the earth.

However, every sea area along the way is not considered safe now-in the Atlantic Ocean, Soviet submarines have taken over the German U-boat "Sea Wolf", hunting the American transport fleet that dared to go to sea everywhere, and every time they ambush and chase The hunting is amazingly accurate, which makes people wonder whether there are Soviet spies in the Pentagon (Doraemon's black technology reconnaissance satellite is closely monitored 24 hours a day); in the Indian Ocean, there is the threat of Japanese submarines based in Western Australia; In the South China Sea, submarines from the Soviet Union and Japan are active at the same time, as well as camouflaged attack ships.According to the latest statistics, the loss rate of such an entire route is about 50%, that is to say, on average, for every two ships full of supplies, one ship cannot reach the final destination.

Not to mention that at the end of this long and dangerous supply line, MacArthur’s four U.S. Army infantry divisions and six Filipino native divisions must be supplied, and American aid supplies must be delivered to His Excellency Chairman Chiang, who has millions of troops in Taiwan. Hanging, the monthly transportation volume must be more than 100 million tons, which makes the Pentagon complain endlessly.In the end, in order to reduce losses, I had to learn from the experience of the Japanese empire, and only transported guns and ammunition to the front line, and ordered MacArthur and his subordinates to "collect on the spot" for the rest of the food and clothing... As a result, due to lack of experience and the aboriginal Fueled by the puppet army, the "in situ recruitment" quickly turned into inhuman massacres and robberies...

Of course, compared to the Third World War, which is now in full swing, the riots in the Philippine Islands are not worth mentioning at all.

At present, there are only two key problems that President Truman really has a headache:
First, how many atomic bombs did the Soviets have?Second, when will the next batch of nuclear bombs in the United States be produced?
——Since the Soviet Union dropped the first atomic bomb of World War III on Gibraltar, the Pentagon has been speculating on when the Soviet Union's nuclear arsenal will be exhausted.However, as Great Britain and Asia Minor have been reduced to radioactive wasteland one after another, and one after another mushroom clouds have bloomed in the land of North Africa, the Soviets have dropped at least fifty atomic bombs on the battlefield, but there is still no one who has run out of stock. any indication.

This made the United States really shudder-if there were not enough nuclear bombs in the Three World Wars, it would be no different from waiting to die.

Just as firearms ended cold weapons and machine guns ended cavalry, with the widespread use of atomic bombs on the battlefield, the original mode of warfare has also undergone earth-shaking changes, making traditional military strategists all over the world They were stunned and at a loss.

——No matter how you line up your troops, no matter how you defend yourself, as long as an atomic bomb is dropped, they will all be reduced to powder and dust!

To be honest, Admiral Eisenhower, who killed millions of Allied forces in two months, was not bad in his tactical deployment and countermeasures. Under the mushroom cloud, all these plans were in vain!

well!Atomic bomb!Atomic bomb!The Soviets threw atomic bombs everywhere like fireworks!And we don't even have an atomic bomb in our hands!

Not long ago, Truman had just inspected the Oak Ridge factory, and learned that no matter how overtime the workers and technicians worked over there, the next batch of atomic bombs would not be completed until early February next year.Before that, the United States could only continue to endure the Soviets "planting the sun" everywhere...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Thinking of this, President Truman could only sigh, and turned around to pick up a letter from the table - "About the Constraints in Warfare" drafted by Albert Einstein, the tycoon of quantum science, and signed by more than 20 experts from Princeton University and the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study. Proposal for the Use of Nuclear Weapons.

Because it involved so many experts in the academic world, this letter was just written yesterday, and today it appeared on President Truman's desk through a special channel. Those lines of compassionate words made Truman feel sympathy and deep sympathy. I feel the same way - it's too late to say anything

Although Truman still agreed to publish the proposal, he agreed very clearly that it would be of no use.So what if Einstein was the inventor of the atomic bomb theory?Even if he regrets the quantum research he was engaged in at the beginning, so what if he said "If I knew this, I would rather be a watch repairer"?Science has no national boundaries, but scientists do. The agreement to limit the use of nuclear weapons proposed in the name of American scientists, not to mention in wartime, even in peacetime, it is impossible for the Soviets to abolish their martial arts and easily agree to it.

Indeed, after the devil of nuclear weapons jumped out of Pandora's box, it posed a huge threat to the survival of all human beings.Both the United States and the Soviet Union have suffered astonishing trauma in this nuclear war.However, as the party at a disadvantage in a nuclear war, no one will listen to the United States publishing such things. For Stalin, the General Secretary of Iron and Steel, it seems like an idiotic nonsense—rather than for the future and destiny of all mankind. , foolishly throwing down the sharpest weapon in his hand, it would be better to speed up the demise of the United States and end the war completely!
What's more, even if this nuclear war continues, what harm will it do to the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union?

——The current situation is very obvious. American bombers cannot pass through layers of obstacles and drop atomic bombs directly into the hinterland of Eastern Europe in the Soviet Union.It was also difficult for Soviet bombers to cross the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans and drop atomic bombs on the continental United States.

In this way, no matter how many nuclear bombs the two sides produce, they can only be dropped on the other's allies, occupied areas, and colonies... In this regard, the Soviets don't feel sorry for Europe being filled with mushroom clouds. If the US military really If there is a way to blow up European countries so that they are not suitable for human habitation, then it can just drive fish into the abyss and force these proud Europeans to leave their homes and immigrate to Russia to contribute their youth and energy to the great development of Siberia.

Although the United States is not so gloating, at best it will shed a few crocodile tears-the United Kingdom was bombed into a radioactive wasteland, and there were almost as many people crying and celebrating in the United States.At the same time, North Africa, the Middle East, East Asia, and Southeast Asia that were planted with mushrooms, except for the Philippines, were originally either the territory of the United Kingdom or the territory of France. No matter how many indigenous people were killed or how many cities were bombed, the Yankees didn't feel much about it.

——In addition to being extremely frustrated that I had to send so many good boys from my country to be bombed under the mushroom clouds in the distance...

Despite this, President Truman felt a little more and more powerless in this increasingly tragic nuclear war.

If we count from the Pearl Harbor incident, the United States has killed and injured about 800 million people in the past five years of war, and there are still 700 million troops going overseas. The whole country is young and strong.The number of ships sunk in the war has exceeded 500 million tons, and the wealth lost is even more incalculable. However, the gains in the war are very little, and the strength of the entire country is showing signs of serious overdraft.Although everyone from the White House to Wall Street is still gnashing their teeth and looking forward to making money one day, they have also begun to tentatively conduct secret peace talks behind the scenes.

However, the truce request put forward by Moscow is really harsh and shocking. It is simply imitating the clauses facing Germany in the "Treaty of Versailles" at the end of World War I, and doing the same to the United States.Even the most anti-war member of Congress said it was simply unacceptable.

—— Regarding the olive branch thrown by the United States, the Kremlin initially put forward the following six basic opinions:

First, the United States gives up all overseas military bases and special overseas rights and interests, and abolishes unequal treaties with all countries.

Second, the United States ceded Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and handed over the Panama Canal to the Comintern for free.

Third, the United States must punish domestic war criminals, be responsible for compensating the losses of governments and civilians of various countries, and bear part of the cost of post-war reconstruction.

Fourth, the U.S. military is only allowed to maintain a minimum self-defense force after the war, and must unconditionally abandon all nuclear weapons. The army is reduced to 10, and it is not allowed to have tanks and heavy artillery with a caliber of 120 mm or more. The navy is not allowed to have ships with a displacement of more than [-] tons. , must not own aircraft carriers and submarines.

Fifth, during the period of disarmament, the Soviet Union and countries in the socialist camp will station troops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and other cities for supervision.

Sixth, allow the Soviet Union to establish concessions in Washington State, Florida and Texas, and station a certain number of troops.

——Based on the views of Stalin, the father of steel, these six opinions are already very tolerant. After all, he neither asked the United States to accept socialist transformation, put all bankers and capitalists on the street, nor divided the United States into eight pieces. Ten small countries...

However, for the arrogant Yankees, just asking them to accept the status of the defeated country itself is already an intolerable shame.

So, after reading Einstein's "Proposal to Limit the Use of Nuclear Weapons in War" several times, President Truman threw it away and put it on the shelf-under the current situation, whether it is an armistice or a limited use Nuclear weapons are all extravagant talk of scientists who are too naive.Facing the nuclear attack of the Soviets, the only thing the United States can do is to quickly create more and bigger nuclear bombs and retaliate fiercely!

Only by truly hurting the Soviets and letting them know that the majesty of the United States of America cannot be humiliated, can this war have a decent ending.

"...So, in order to really fight against the Kremlin's arrogance, no matter how many difficulties and dangers there are, we must try to nuke the mainland of the Soviet Union and slap Uncle Joseph in the face, just like we did when we bombed Tokyo..." Truman wrote in his Christmas diary.

——Obviously, this nuclear war of mutual destruction will continue, and let more mushroom clouds stand on the earth...
