Great time travel

Chapter 143, Hollywood's Flash
All in all, the US wartime food rationing system was implemented so-so in the major cities on the east coast close to the capital, but on the west coast where the sky is high and the emperor is far away... Refer to some plots of traditional western movies, please do not overestimate The lower limit of morals for local government officials in the western states.

Therefore, in the current market in the Los Angeles area, there are official ration stores that are empty or even closed, while the goods that should have appeared on the shelves are all sent to illegal stores in collusion with unscrupulous profiteers and corrupt officials. The strange situation of the black market.

And the price of food in the illegal black market is naturally expensive enough to make anyone stunned... Luisa went to the black market with more than 20 dollars, and only bought back a few loaves of black bread that were as hard as stones, and a piece of dry and hard bread. Cheese, a quarter pound of butter, and two cans of spam luncheon meat that are about to expire-you know, the currency is still on the gold standard at this moment, and more than 20 dollars is definitely not a small amount of money for ordinary people .

Even if it was such an extremely expensive product, she still risked being caught and fined, and lined up to snatch it—although the Hollywood police dare not beat those "big tigers" who openly sell things on the black market, and even He doesn't even have the guts to search the black market, but he is very ruthless against the citizens who go to the black market to buy things... because he can receive a lot of black market goods from the easy-to-bully citizens as extra gray income in his career as a policeman.

Carefully hiding these expensive black market foods, the third-rate Hollywood actress Luisa covered her face with a scarf and got out of the dark alley where the black market is located. No police, military police or robbers were found along the way until she returned to the city. On the spacious street, she was slightly relieved.

——Ever since she came back from the black market and was tricked enough by the police playing "fishing law enforcement", Luisa has fallen into a psychological shadow.

In fact, the police and gendarmes are not clean when it comes to selling in-demand supplies. More than half of the in-demand supplies sold on the black market, such as those rare wines, cigarettes, and canned prosciutto, are all magical powers The munitions that the majority of people fished out "through the back door".

It's just that this doesn't affect them while reselling supplies, and at the same time playing the game of thieves and catching thieves, and continue to pit buyers who have already been heavily exploited... Moreover, even if there are no such traps and traps, with Luisa, a third-rate actor, With a meager income, it is difficult to afford it.

Of course, no matter what era it is in, there are always some people who are not short of money and can continue to eat, drink and enjoy themselves lavishly.For example, when passing by a high-end restaurant, Luisa saw a fat man munching on a piece of fried chicken, and there were even lobsters and oysters on the table next to him. Under the situation of wartime market control, so many exquisite foods can still be obtained...

But this question is obviously meaningless to Luisa, because she has no money to enter this store, unless she can get a big money to be a mistress... However, with Luisa's capital, if she wants to get a big It's not so easy to be a mistress. Now that there is a generation of young men in the country, the ratio of male to female has long been out of balance. There are too many beautiful girls who can't marry. caught?
So, she had no choice but to sigh helplessly, and while stroking her growling stomach, she turned around and walked quickly...Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, she heard a sharp and rapid Doppler shift. The sound exploded suddenly, torturing everyone's eardrums like a whip!

God...is this...an...air raid siren? ! !
Covering her ears with painful expression, she was stunned for a long time before Luisa suddenly realized. The next moment, the streets of Hollywood suddenly became chaotic. Everyone was running around like headless chickens, but they didn't know what to do. ——Hollywood is, after all, the land of peace in the U.S., and the holy land of the entertainment industry that has the least connection with war. Although the entire United States has been in a state of war for several years, the battlefields are basically far away overseas, except for the first few days. Except for a small-scale sneak attack by the Japanese fleet in [-], cities in the continental United States have not suffered much bombing and shelling.

The city of Los Angeles has had a few air strike drills since the war, but it's purely a matter of errands, with people getting under desks or running out of houses when the alarm goes off... even if some knowledgeable People know to get into the air-raid shelter, but the question is, where is the nearest air-raid shelter?I don't know at all!Well, it's likely that no bomb shelters have been dug here in Hollywood, have they?
Just as Luisa was standing in the noisy crowd, being squeezed to and fro, and not knowing what to do, the sound of the roaring plane engine came from the sky. Brings a heavy sense of depression.Then, she couldn't help raising her head, and immediately saw two huge silver-white planes appearing from a distant high altitude through the clouds. Their huge silver fuselages were flying steadily at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. The powerful engine dragged out four white atomized trails against the blue sky, forming a shocking picture.Behind their buttocks, there are still a few small black spots chasing after them in a panic, but they can't catch up, but the distance is getting wider and wider...

And as the enemy plane appeared from the sky, the chaos on the ground turned into chaos, women screaming in terror and police shouting and cursing everywhere. Unfortunately, Louisa was slapped by the police and had to walk slowly. He left the street aimlessly, trying to find a house to get into.

However, she actually didn't need to do anything more, because the time for everything to end had already arrived.

——As the thick, black, hard atomic bomb was pushed down from the cabin, a brilliant flash of light pierced the sky, and in just one hundred thousandth of a second, deadly light radiation and various rays arrived The ground feels brighter than a million suns.

Directly below the epicenter of the nuclear bomb, those passers-by exposed to the streets and grounds of Hollywood naturally bear the brunt, including the third-rate actress Luisa, all people's bones, teeth, muscles, nerves, skin...all within a very short distance Absorbed a huge amount of radiation energy in an instant, solidified, boiled, and vaporized like meat in a microwave oven, and finally turned into countless powders in a few milliseconds, becoming a part of the radiation dust.The surrounding houses and trees were reduced to ashes in an instant, and the people in the houses were completely burned to charcoal and tree roots, and they were no longer human.

——Whether it is human beings, animals, vegetation, or buildings, they were all reduced to fine ashes in the foehn that seemed to come from hell.

A few seconds after the light radiation and various rays reached the ground, accompanied by a deafening roar, a shock wave that destroyed everything was ejected from the center of the explosion, mixed with various deadly radiation particles, and surrounded by the whistling from the underworld. Smash it in all directions!
Even at the San Diego Naval Base, which is more than 160 kilometers away, the officers and soldiers of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet were horrified at this moment to hear a powerful muffled sound coming from a distance, and several unlucky buildings were also unfortunate because of this. Shattered the glass.

And in Hollywood at the site of the nuclear explosion, it seems that there is a giant hammer of Thor, stirring the sky and the earth crazily in the dark!The overwhelming shock wave and the scorching heat wave that burned everything almost swallowed everything in the world. The towering trees turned into scorched wooden piles in an instant, and then they were engulfed by the shock wave and flew into the air. , All kinds of buildings are like cardboard models, and the whole building is knocked down in an instant.

In just a few minutes, the neighborhoods with a radius of several kilometers around the epicenter of the nuclear bomb were gone, and most of the houses were crumbling in the flame storm comparable to a category [-] typhoon, and even gradually fell apart.Only a few of the strongest reinforced concrete buildings remained, like rocks protruding from the sea, standing on top of a large area of ​​scorched and hot bricks and rubble, but they were also bruised all over, and most of the citizens who had no time to react were killed. Buried in the ruins.Billboards, cars, and people in the cars were rolled up by the huge airflow, as if an invisible giant hand threw them mercilessly around, and finally twisted and smashed them one by one, burst into flames, and died in the blink of an eye. Turn the whole of Hollywood into a scorching purgatory!
Even those Los Angeles citizens who were far from the epicentre had their skin burned by the flash or heat wave on the spot.And the unlucky ones who were directly irradiated by the flash were scorched and scorched, their skins were peeled off, and their death conditions were really appalling.

Next, the raging fire caused by the high temperature of the nuclear explosion broke out simultaneously in all parts of the urban area, and spread rapidly in all directions, burning everything that could be burned; even the concrete buildings rose up like a demon Flames.Let the entire Los Angeles area become a scorching hell with flames soaring into the sky.Countless golden snakes danced in the urban area, creating a large pile of hot scorched earth and rubble, and piles of curled and blackened corpses were buried underneath.

Some people who escaped from the ruins of the house by chance had to suffer from the smoke and fire when they ran to the street, and their bodies were covered in hot blood bubbles in an instant.In the end, it was burned down to nothing but a handful of ashes.What is even more tragic is the survivors who were crushed in the ruins. If there was no fire, these people may still be rescued, but right now they can only be crushed under layers of rubble. Bit by bit, they were roasted to death by high temperature and smoked to death by thick smoke.

At the same time, the power grid on half of the west coast of the United States collapsed at this moment, and the radio and radio also lost their voices one after another.

However, this round of nuclear catastrophe befalling the continental United States has only just begun... After Los Angeles, where Hollywood, the holy land of movies, is located, San Diego, Seattle and Portland, which are also on the west coast of the United States, soon also encountered Same nuclear doom...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

On January [-], [-], the "Flying Bear" four-engine jet ultra-long-range strategic bomber developed by the Soviet Union's Tupolev Aircraft Design Bureau in combination with future black technology. It debuted on the Internet—twelve "Flying Bear" bombers carrying six atomic bombs and several conventional bombs took off from Japan, directly across the Pacific Ocean, and carried out nuclear strikes on major cities on the west coast of the United States!
Because this jet-type ultra-long-range strategic bomber is too fast, flies too high, and its self-defense firepower is quite fierce, the U.S. propeller fighter jets cannot stop it at all, and any caliber anti-aircraft gun currently equipped by the U.S. military treats it flying at a distance from the ground. The "Flying Bear" bomber at an altitude of more than 8000 meters is also helpless.In the end, except for the mechanical failure of the "Flying Bear" bomber scheduled to explode San Francisco, the dropped nuclear bomb failed to detonate and fell directly to the ground. Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver, Canada, all suffered nuclear explosions on this day, and the direct death toll was as high as one million.In particular, the destruction of San Diego, the second largest military port of the U.S. Navy, in the mushroom cloud almost completely broke the spine of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet, which has been defeated repeatedly.

Since the shock wave of the nuclear explosion destroyed the wired communication on the ground, and the radiation from the nuclear explosion seriously interfered with the transmission of radio waves, when the White House, who was busy preparing for the transition of power between the old and new presidents, finally received the bad news from the West Coast, the sky above Hollywood The atmosphere has been stirred and churned by the power of the atomic bomb for nearly an hour, and raindrops have begun to fall in the nuclear explosion zone—the water vapor brought up by the rising mushroom cloud is enough to condense into raindrops at high altitudes, and then stick to the Countless deadly radioactive dust fell on the sky, contrasting with the mushroom cloud that reddened the sky.As a result, people who were being scorched by the sea of ​​fire and heat waves on the ground saw a burst of sticky black raindrops falling down, exuding a strange smell and a strange touch, and mixed with a large amount of deadly nuclear radiation dust...

This extremely deadly black heavy rain, which made people feel like the end of the world was coming, turned into a misty yellow drizzle after it lasted for more than ten minutes, and continued to spread in all directions, but it was still far from extinguishing the fire on the ground. fire head.And the large amount of radioactive dust engulfed in the rain has even sentenced tens of millions of Americans who were unfortunately infected to death...or death reprieve--radiation sickness these days is an absolutely incurable disease.

This large-scale nuclear explosion on the West Coast brought disasters to the American people, not only on land, but also in the ocean.

——The shock wave of a nuclear explosion, which is as powerful as a typhoon of Class [-], not only sweeps across the land with a large amount of radiation dust, razing towns and villages to the ground, but also sweeps across the sea mercilessly, surging mountains and seas with huge waves, ruthlessly It hit every harbor on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean.Under the monstrous power of nuclear bombs, the sea also suddenly lost the tenderness and romance described by literati, and turned into a ferocious and terrifying ghost—a huge wave with a height of more than ten meters crashed in the bay, as if overwhelming the sky. Come, rush to the coast at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour, engulfing tens of thousands of people in an instant.Some people were swept to the bottom of the sea, some people were thrown into the air by the big waves, and some people were smashed to the land by the huge waves, smashing their bodies to pieces.

By the same token, most of the various ships anchored in the ports of Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego, etc. also suffered heavy losses in the fierce shock waves and waves. They were either smashed, sunk, or collided with each other.Although many port facilities with fragile structures survived the shock wave of the nuclear explosion by chance, they were swept away in the subsequent waves.After the violent sea finally calmed down, the entire beach and harbor had been turned into a huge garbage dump, with broken roofs, bed boards, doors and windows, debris from ships, and bloated corpses of humans and animals everywhere.

What is even more frightening is that the oil companies, refineries and oil depots in these ports were all damaged by the shock wave of the nuclear explosion.Then, accompanied by a series of huge explosions, thousands of tons of crude oil were dumped into the Pacific Ocean, causing raging flames on the sea surface, almost boiling the sea!

During this catastrophe, nearly half of the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Fleet retreating to the west coast lost nearly half. Except for some ships stationed in San Francisco and ordered to patrol the sea, most of the capital ships were scrapped or severely damaged by the nuclear explosion, or at least suffered It caused serious radiation pollution, and it needs to be decontaminated repeatedly before it can be used reluctantly, and the Army and National Guard also lost at least 10 people, which can be described as a heavy loss.As for the radiation sickness that is about to break out on a large scale across the entire west coast, it is even more unknown how many Americans, especially soldiers, will die.

The current commander of the Pacific Fleet, Admiral Aubrey Fitch, and his entire command team were killed in the nuclear explosion.The Chief of the Navy, His Excellency Ernest King, who was in Washington, fainted on the spot when he received the bad news, and was rescued by the hospital to save his life.

The entire United States, whether it was President Truman, who was about to step down, or President MacArthur, who was about to enter the White House, was shocked by this catastrophe, and at the same time, for the first time, there was a vague premonition of the end of the world... But in fact, as a "super warm gift package" to "congratulate" President MacArthur on taking office, the Kremlin's nuclear war strategy on the United States has only been carried out for a small part so far.

Just in the direction of the Atlantic Ocean, another twelve Soviet latest jet-type ultra-long-range strategic bombers, all loaded with atomic bombs, are also ready at secret airports in Western Europe and North Africa, and they will be ready to go just waiting for an order from Moscow... …

The targets of their nuclear explosions are naturally the major cities in the eastern United States on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
