Chapter 1 Sixty, Bombarding the White House

The crowd gathering and huge commotion in Arlington National Cemetery across the Potomac River naturally couldn't be hidden from people in downtown Washington.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, some keen-observing citizens of Washington had clearly felt an ominous atmosphere, and there were guys with bad faces whispering and whispering everywhere.The attendance frequency of the patrol team in the city has also increased a lot in recent days than usual.

But at this precarious time, most people's nerves have long been numb, and they don't bother to care about anything other than calculating food and fuel reserves.On the night of noticing the unusual commotion across the Potomac River, only the Secret Service, which is actually responsible for guarding the White House, and the Military Police and Police Department, which maintain law and order in the capital, worriedly re-declared and reiterated martial law, while increasing the night duty. number of people.

As for President MacArthur who was so drunk... No one would count on him now, and no one would think of waking him up.

However, after a whole night of fear, until sunrise, the urban area of ​​Washington seemed to be calm.Just as some people who hadn't slept all night looked at the twilight morning light in the east and breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't know that an unprecedented upheaval had quietly begun to happen...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Downtown Washington, east bank of the Potomac River, Lincoln Memorial

In front of the tall statue of President Lincoln, two police officers on duty at night fell into a pool of solidified blood, their bodies had already cooled down.General Eisenhower, wearing a camouflage cloak and a steel helmet on his head, stood beside him with a cigarette in his mouth, looking thoughtfully at the sparkling Potomac River in front of him.

The Lincoln Memorial, which was once empty and empty, is now full of people coming and going, as if it has become the headquarters of this military coup.

Not far from the Lincoln Memorial is the Arlington Bridge across the Potomac River. Although part of the bridge deck was blown up in a previous air raid, the overall structure is basically preserved. intact.At this moment, Eisenhower's cronies are using some engineering and military equipment dug out from the ruins of the Pentagon, relying on the basically intact bridge piers, and building a temporary bridge on the foundation of the broken bridge that people can walk through.And in several refugee camps on the other side of the river, his "propagandists" have also mobilized the armed refugees with guns...

At this moment, all the preludes to the military coup have been well planned, ready, and ready, just waiting for his order.

And Eisenhower has been waiting for this moment for a long time, and this day will come sooner or later.For this day, he has done everything he can.

"...I hope that there will be no more Soviet air strikes today..." He sighed and motioned his subordinates to take out the flares.

In fact, this "coercion" aimed at coercing President MacArthur to give up his recalcitrance by force and sign the unconditional surrender agreement, thereby ending the world war and stopping the nuclear catastrophe, according to the original plan of a small group, as early as a few months It should have been activated before.The initially scheduled leader was not the "marginal figure" Eisenhower, but Secretary of State Marshall and former President Truman, who were more famous and influential.

——After confirming the attitude of President MacArthur and his cronies, as well as the decisions of the major local consortia, they were horrified to find that in order to avoid being humiliated by the Bolsheviks, they actually decided to carry it to the end and dragged the entire United States to hell together, Some politicians and high-ranking military officials in Washington who claimed to have "conscience still exists" formed a secret anti-war group, or "underground national salvation group", and planned to restore peace.The leader was Secretary of State Marshall, and the participants included Chief of the Navy Ernest King, Commander-in-Chief of the Strategic Air Force Arnold, former President Truman who was forced to stay in the capital because of the large-scale nuclear explosions across the country, and a large Senior officials and think tanks who voted in office or under the field joined in one after another.

According to the opinion of this small group, these people are generally weak at present, and they still wear the big hat of "politically incorrect". The crazy White House war faction, as well as the conglomerates who have given up on themselves in the face of Stalin's blatant death sentence, are determined to break the pot, and would rather die than drag the entire United States to hell—no way, as the United States Part of the ruling class, each of them knows the nature of the plutocrats, and they don't believe that these bastards have any conscience and compassion, and will sacrifice their lives for the illusory country and nation: these bastards will only drag everyone together Go to hell, even if you die, you will have to drag a bunch of backs!

However, as Wall Street in New York and major local cities quickly turned into radiation ruins, and a large number of members of the upper class fled overseas, the strength and influence of the above-mentioned chaebols and hardcore hardliners in the United States are actually rapidly declining.As long as the opponent's power declines to a critical point, these "truly rational patriots" stand up and raise their arms, they can easily overthrow the government and achieve unconditional surrender.At that time, those who have the ability to hinder the peace talks will either die, or have already transferred their power to South Africa, and will no longer be able to interfere in the United States.

Of course, even so, Stalin may not give them any good fruit afterwards, and it is estimated that they will still have to be court-martialed, or even hanged on the gallows-Marshall once used the convenience of being the Secretary of State and in charge of foreign affairs, I secretly had some indirect tentative contacts with the Soviet Union, but was disappointed to find that the attitude of the other party seemed to be very cold, and they didn't care much about whether the United States could surrender unconditionally at an early date... However, anyone who is willing to join this anti-war group, They have already put their own life and death aside.

——Under the current nightmare background of the end of the world, as long as the United States can be saved, they do not lack the consciousness of dedicating themselves to the country.

Although Eisenhower was also a member of this "secret anti-war group", he was in charge of another task - leading a fleet of refugees to sail out to sea, transporting the families of politicians and bigwigs and scientists such as Einstein Sent to South Africa, and resettled through his previous connections in Africa, so that the politicians of the anti-war group can die with peace of mind, and also leave some kindling and inheritance for the "free world" that is about to collapse.

In this way, Admiral Eisenhower led a huge refugee fleet, left the motherland covered with mushroom clouds, crossed the vast Atlantic, and successfully arrived in South Africa. These exiles... However, the strange thing is that after that, he waited and waited in South Africa, and he never saw the surrender of the United States, the end of the war, and no new news from his native accomplices.

So, in desperation, Eisenhower had no choice but to take a few close relatives with him, risking his life and death, boarded a refugee ship returning to solicit passengers, crossed the Atlantic again, and returned to Washington, the federal capital, to find out... As a result, after going through various After returning to Washington with great difficulty, Eisenhower inquired about a thunderbolt-like bad news-about shortly after he left the United States, Secretary of State Marshall, former President Truman and other backbones of all anti-war groups met in a secret meeting During the bombing, unfortunately, it was sent to heaven by a [-]-kilogram Soviet aviation bomb.Some of the remaining middle-level and lower-level personnel below, neither knowing the overall plan, nor lacking the willpower and courage to continue to carry out operations, and distrusting each other, quickly dispersed, and fled to death in the past few months. His death has almost disintegrated.

However, although the anti-war groups in Washington, the capital, collapsed and broke up, turned off and broke down, the atomic bombs of the Soviets are still falling like a torrential rain, devastating the land of the United States of America with flames and radiation all the time, killing the United States Citizens of the United States...

On the way back to Washington, Eisenhower saw countless cities and towns destroyed by nuclear explosions or riots, fields where weeds grew wild because no one plowed them, and thousands of people were swollen and festered due to radiation sickness. The dead and wounded, as well as the wandering, homeless war refugees fighting each other for a piece of bread.These tragic scenes forced Eisenhower to give up the last moral obsession in his heart, and personally organized a military coup to "admonish" President MacArthur and force him to surrender unconditionally.As for the infamy of traitors and thieves, he no longer cares about it...Since this train named MacArthur government is speeding all the way to hell, and the people who regret it are trapped in the carriage and cannot get out, then nothing but What better choice than destroying locomotives by hand?

Looking up at the stone statue of President Lincoln, Admiral Eisenhower was once again shaken and weak for a moment in front of this great president—President Lincoln did not hesitate to start the Civil War, but he also wanted to maintain the existence of the Union, but now he is launching A military coup has ruined this federation...

But it was also only in a blink of an eye that Admiral Eisenhower stabilized his mind again and strengthened his will.

In the final analysis, something like a country is still made up of the people. If there are no people, what is the point of the existence of the country?
The failure and fall of the United States of America may have been doomed to be inevitable, but the people on this land will continue to survive.

I believe that even if President Lincoln was reborn here, facing such a cruel and desperate situation, he should have made the same choice as himself...

Then, Admiral Eisenhower took a deep breath, turned around and gestured to his subordinates: "...Flare, launch!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

shhhhhhhhhhhhh-

Accompanied by three red signal flares, which were shot into the sky from the door of the Lincoln Memorial at six o'clock in the morning, the originally peaceful Washington-District of Columbia suddenly became noisy.The elite gunmen who had been dispatched to infiltrate the urban area before poked their heads out of the abandoned houses where they were hiding, and used rifles, submachine guns, and grenades to pour firepower on the police and military police patrolling the streets from high windows.

All of a sudden, there were constant explosions and gunfire on the streets of downtown Washington.And the policemen and gendarmes who were patrolling the streets suddenly fell into a nightmare, as if a rifle or submachine gun was aiming at them behind every window and firing countless bullets from all directions. Let them have nowhere to hide, their hearts are tearing, even if they want to draw their guns to fight back, they can't find their way all at once.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the police and military police being dragged by the gun battle in the city, thousands of organized armed rebels rushed into the city from the other side of the Potomac River across the Arlington Bridge, which had just been urgently repaired. .And Eisenhower also held a red flag symbolizing the revolution, and walked side by side among them-this time it was a typical Western-style popular uprising, starting with a long, passionate and provocative speech at a rally, and then completely moving guns. After being instigated by the armed masses, they raised their flags and shouted slogans and marched towards the White House... It seems a bit stupid, but a group of mobs only have this level of organization, and they look very imposing. At this time when people are panicking Very powerful.

In short, the armed uprising team with tens of thousands of people successfully entered downtown Washington from Arlington Bridge, then split into two groups at the Lincoln Memorial, and marched eastward along Constitution Avenue into the Oval Square (that is, in the movie) The open green space where the obelisk is erected), the other route easily captured the Naval Medical Service and the National Academy of Sciences with only a few stunned guards, trying to continue to the northwest of the White House for flanking.

However, these insurgents were obviously overly optimistic about this battle, seriously underestimating the government's ability to resist and counterattack.

In fact, due to the slow action of tens of thousands of rebels, the commotion was too great.At this time, the gendarmerie, police and Secret Service have responded and made emergency mobilization and deployment.When the insurgents, carrying banners and beating tin drums, had just arrived on Virginia Avenue in front of the Red Cross, they saw a rocket flying towards them from the top of the building in front, dragging a long wisp of white smoke. Come!

The next moment, with a loud bang, several broken bodies flew backward in the firelight together with a charred flag.

Almost at the same instant, countless bright tongues of flame seemed to spew out from every window of several buildings across Virginia Avenue, countless bullets from rockets, mortar shells, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and rifles, and more A hand grenade was thrown high and hit the rebel crowd crowded in chaos on the street like a torrential rain. In an instant, balls of fire and thick smoke ignited, and the people walking in the front were blown to pieces. !

Next, a small group of cavalry rushed out from the ruins of George Washington University, and greeted the chaotic crowd with carbines and sabers.In a very short period of time, more than 200 rebels fell.But more people were aroused by the blood and gunpowder smoke. Relying on the large number of people on their side and the good weapons, they rushed across Virginia Avenue while holding Thomson submachine guns. In the enemy line.

All of a sudden, between Virginia Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue, the red-eyed insurgents collided head-on with the police and military police who came to suppress them, and a tragic street battle broke out. Sounds, roars, explosions, and the sound of sharp knives piercing flesh were mixed together, accompanied by turbid smoke and flames, intertwined with the breath of blood and death, setting off a purgatory-like desolation and tragedy...

At the same time, the march along Constitution Avenue was not going well, although the roadblocks (checkpoints) that had been set up by the military police and the police had already been destroyed by a small special agent team sent by Eisenhower before the uprising started.But the White House, which found that the situation was not good, dispatched two "Sherman" tanks before the insurgents rushed in, and they drove up Constitution Avenue rumblingly to suppress the rebellion!
The small number of elite gunmen of the coup army who stayed on both sides of the street under the order of Eisenhower lacked heavy weapons capable of anti-tank and had no time to plant street bombs. They could not deal with the armored forces and could only watch them run over Constitution Avenue. The lawn, covering hundreds of heavily armed police and gendarmes, drove into the Constitution Park where a large number of insurgents gathered, and immediately beat the mob with machine guns and shelling.Eisenhower had no choice but to command the rebel army to retreat into the area around the Lincoln Memorial and use the buildings to shoot at the enemy before they could hold their ground.

All in all, from George Washington University to Constitution Avenue, the insurgents and government forces appeared to be in a brief stalemate.There are as many as 3 to 700 people on the side of the insurgents, but the flaw is the lack of heavy firepower, even few machine guns, and most of them are inexperienced.The suppression force dispatched by the White House only has more than [-] people on both sides, but there are tanks and cavalry in charge, and the quality is relatively high, so that the fight is inextricable.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the small square in front of the Lincoln Memorial, corpses were strewn everywhere, bomb craters intersected, and the blood of the dead flowed into a stream.

Admiral Eisenhower squatted behind a simple fortification made of sandbags, furniture and sundries, frowning and looking at the opposite tank.

"...Damn it... I didn't expect they still had tanks! This is so careless!" He muttered cursing.

Although the insurgents, who had calmed down from the rout, successfully destroyed the tracks of a "Sherman" tank with rocket launchers and recoilless guns, making it unable to move, they failed to completely destroy this solid tank. The tank's firepower and sighting system—it has become a fixed turret, still fired at the Lincoln Memorial one after another, causing stone chips to fly and screaming again and again.As for another intact Sherman tank, it galloped back and forth in Constitution Park, using its vehicle-mounted machine gun to sweep up the crowd of insurgents who had run away.About two companies of military police and some Secret Service agents in black suits followed, unhurriedly shooting the terrified wretches with Garand rifles and M1911 pistols.

"...Attention everyone! Aim——release!"

On the side of the Lincoln Memorial, a certain captain grabbed a Motorola walkie-talkie and yelled. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and hacked. Two anti-tank rockets roared towards the Sherman tank with broken tracks not far away. .Due to the close distance and the fact that the enemy tank did not move at all, both rockets hit the target precisely because of the fixed target. One of the rockets was bounced off by the armor of the tank turret, and the other Then hit the nail on the head.

So, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the Sherman tank turned into a burning fireball, and even the tanker couldn't escape.

However, before the insurgents at the Lincoln Memorial gave out cheers of victory, another Sherman tank in Constitution Park slowly turned its turret... High-explosive shells fell on the Lincoln Memorial!
Eisenhower, who was lying down in an emergency, was lying on the concrete floor, his ears were buzzing, and he could only feel the dirt and small stones around him falling straight on his back... A moment later, he sat up with his hands He straightened his body, but his right hand touched a sticky and soft thing. At first glance, it seemed to be a mud ball covered with black bullet ash.But Eisenhower, who has experienced many battles, knew that it was a piece of remnant meat, but he didn't know which part of the body it belonged to, let alone who it belonged to. In the battle just now, he was killed in the Lincoln Memorial alone. at least half a row.

If he was a recruit, he might have already vomited in this situation, but as a veteran on the battlefield, Eisenhower just wiped the blood on his hands casually, and ordered his subordinates to make persistent efforts, using the anti-tank rocket launcher to destroy the remaining tank. Erman was also knocked out!

However, before the coup troops guarding the Lincoln Memorial fired rockets at the tank again, Eisenhower saw a red light flash in the distance, and then the Sherman tank, which was still showing off its power just now, had a deafening explosion. big Bang!When the thick smoke dissipated, the tank had turned into a wreck amidst the flames, and the gendarmerie near the tank was blown up and down, and some even turned into burning fires.

This is……?Eisenhower looked up, and he could see it without a telescope. At the end of the field of vision, on the road of Constitution Avenue, there was a heavy anti-aircraft gun laid flat. On the tractor of the anti-aircraft gun, there were several people with red armbands tied The soldier was waving towards him.

At the same time, on Capitol Hill and the anti-aircraft artillery positions in Potomac Park, there were bursts of gunfire and gunpowder, and rows of shells were screaming and tearing the air, blasting towards the White House.Although the anti-aircraft guns are not suitable for curved shooting, the accuracy is a bit poor, but just seeing the smoke and the faintly flickering fire around the White House is enough to kill the last fighting will of the suppressing troops.

——The anti-aircraft artillery unit of the Capital District was also successfully "military movement" by Eisenhower's propagandists, and it was thrown into this coup d'état!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

For this once deadlocked military coup, the defection of the capital's anti-aircraft artillery force finally dealt a fatal blow to the government forces!
——The rebel armed mob seemed to be dozens of times larger than himself, and the two Sherman tanks that were the last killer were also destroyed, and the anti-aircraft artillery troops stabbed their knives in the back and fired hail-like shells towards the White House... All of the above were superimposed on Together, they finally broke down completely.

A small number of them dropped their guns in despair, allowing the rebels to tie themselves up, and at the same time, most likely received a few old punches or spit on them.Most of the officers and soldiers of the suppressing force took advantage of the fact that they were not yet surrounded, and fled with their guns and ammunition. In this chaotic situation, and when they had just forged a bloody feud, they did not believe that these rebels were still alive. Will abide by the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War...

On the other hand, Admiral Eisenhower didn't care about clearing up these remnants, and just continued to advance towards the black smoke billowing White House.

——I have to admit that the agents of the White House Secret Service are indeed a group of dedicated guards.Even in today's sudden and desperate situation, I still try to find a Ford car that can be driven in good condition, and want to send President MacArthur away.But the problem is, before they had time to act, tens of thousands of insurgents had already surrounded the White House, and during this period, a large number of Washington citizens dragged their guns to join in the war... The whole city seemed to be reduced to ruins, in This day turned into a sea of ​​mobs, and the White House, which the Secret Service last defended, seemed to be an isolated island in the sea.

So, after a fierce battle and several holes in the outer wall of the White House with shells, Admiral Eisenhower finally smashed the last resistance of the Secret Service, and according to the results of interrogation of the captured agents, he brought only a few A few entourages stepped into the white house where the gunpowder was scattered...
