Great time travel

Chapter 157, The Last Gunshot

This thing of time is like an elusive brook, on the upper end of which we cannot see, always stands a mean old man full of wicked taste, who willfully manipulates the gate of the embankment; sorrow and melancholy The time of time is infinitely extended, but the time of happiness and warmth is fleeting. Fortunately, the fickleness of time seems to be the same for everyone.

For the American people in [-], the year of bathing in the mushroom cloud of nuclear explosions seemed extremely difficult and long.

——Of course, quite a few of them didn't live to the end of the year, so it wasn't too long for them.

Beginning in late March, the once-interrupted strategic nuclear strike against the United States by the Soviet ultra-long-range strategic bomber force has started again, and it has intensified and intensified—as more and more Soviet Tu-100 "Flying Bear" supersonic jets The ultra-long-range intercontinental strategic bomber rolled off the production line, entered service at the factory, and was quickly put into strategic bombing across the ocean by the Kremlin.At the peak of the nuclear attack on the United States this year, 90 to [-] Soviet atomic bombs detonated on the territory of the Americas every day, and more than [-]% of the atomic bombs fell on the territory of the United States... Due to the nuclear The frequency of explosions was too high, and the Soviet Union's original nuclear arsenal was quickly exhausted, so that it had to continue to step up the production of more atomic bombs...

On the other hand, the people of the New World, especially the people of North America, are struggling day after day in the scorching purgatory. With infinite fear and despair, they watch their familiar hometown slowly turn into Radiation wasteland, especially Americans whose homes are located near densely populated major metropolitan areas, can see a mushroom cloud rising in a certain direction on the horizon almost every few days on average...if they are not dead.

Counting the United States and Canada, there are almost only two relatively safe cities left (only that they will not be bombed), one of which is the Port of Tacoma, Washington State, which was landed and occupied by the Japanese Expeditionary Force on the west coast, and the other is It is the capital of the United States of America, Washington on the east coast...

September 22, [-], United States, District of Columbia, Washington, DC
In the distant sky in the east, the deep roar of jet engines and the shrill air raid sirens suddenly sounded, and then sounded in the empty streets of the federal capital.The few passers-by immediately rushed to find the nearest air-raid shelter and huddled inside.

Next, with the futile thumping of anti-aircraft guns on the ground, a flying monster made by the evil Red Empire roared from a high altitude far beyond the limit of the range of the anti-aircraft guns, and came to the sky above Washington with the achievements of the Soviet military industrial power. Ignoring the artillery fire on the ground, he proudly opened the magazine in his abdomen, and dropped 250kg, 20kg, [-]kg, and [-]kg aerial bombs, gradually growing from small black dots, and finally in the waves. There were more than [-] flames on both sides of the Tomac River... All of a sudden, metal fragments, charred corpses, and ashes of plants and trees, together with gunpowder smoke and scorched smell that seemed to come from hell, permeated the dilapidated streets of Washington. Just want to vomit...

——In order to keep a negotiable object in the radioactive wasteland once named the United States of America, the Soviet Union has publicly promised from the very beginning that it will not carry out a nuclear explosion on the federal capital Washington, and it has indeed complied with the above promise , so far no nuclear bomb has been detonated in the District of Columbia, where the capital is located.However, the Soviet Strategic Air Force's conventional bombing of downtown Washington is still carried out from time to time... Hundreds of tons of aviation incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs before and after blasted a large area of ​​downtown Washington into rubble, and also destroyed the federal government. The government is bombed to pieces.

After finally waiting for the air raid to pass, under the blood-red sunset in the autumn wind, a well-dressed old man got out of the White House air-raid shelter, surrounded by several bodyguards, and staggered towards the courtyard... Although from the appearance of the clothes and pomp, it can be seen that It can be concluded that he should be a guy with a noble status, but at this time, he can't see the supercilious temperament of a superior person at all, let alone any arrogance.

He is the current President of the United States of America, Douglas MacArthur - the most outstanding graduate in the history of the West Point Military Academy in the United States, a former five-star general and a Marshal of the Philippines... But now he is just a president who is forced to face subjugation Unlucky man of fate.

All the high-spirited, arrogant and confident star halo of the past has long been worn away from President MacArthur.

Now MacArthur is just a dying man tortured by a desperate fate, being dragged exhaustedly to the end of his fate.

At this moment, although the Soviet planes had already left, the suburbs of Washington, where the bombing had just ended, were still filled with black smoke and dust. A crater.Accompanied by bodyguards, MacArthur walked to the side of the bomb crater, bent down, reached out and gently touched the scorched earth that was still warm, tears of unwillingness and humiliation flashed in his eyes...

Although he started many years ago, he dreamed that one day he could enter the White House and reach the pinnacle of his life.But MacArthur never thought that when his dream came true, his presidential career would be so hopeless and humiliating that life would be worse than death.

——From the first day of becoming president, the United States has been torn apart by repeated nuclear explosions. I and my staff have exhausted their efforts and thought hard about countermeasures, but the final conclusion is nothing but despair. It seems that MacArthur is Destined to become the last president was hanged on the gallows!
Then, as the Soviet Union's nuclear bombs fell frequently like a meteor shower, since April, the communication between the White House and the local states and overseas troops began to be gradually cut off, and the domestic traffic was completely paralyzed.By June, President MacArthur had decreed that he would not leave the District of Columbia, and the states and localities gradually stopped sending official documents and telegrams.

After that, even in this three-acre land in the capital Washington, not many people are willing to listen to the words of his president.

PS: The economy is too bad these days. The British Navy will no longer equip warships with missiles from next year, and only use artillery to fight. It will return to the era of big ships and giant guns.The British Army was also downsized to a measly 5 men.Despite this, Britain's military expenditure last year was still as high as 560 billion US dollars, ranking fifth in the world, second only to Russia, which has been fighting endlessly for years.This level of corruption and waste... It seems that the British Ministry of Defense really needs to rectify it.

Then, the electricity price in Taiwan, which uses love to generate electricity, soared three times.Sure enough, it was full of human touch, which made the whole island howl.Electricity has become so expensive all of a sudden, and the service industry is nothing more than that. At most, the lights are dimmed. How can factories, which are large power consumers, operate?
It feels like the whole world likes to engage in surprise attacks recently, such as the abolition of currency in India, the introduction of radiated food in Taiwan and the increase in electricity prices...
