Warwickton, USA.
Since the atomic bomb exploded in Japan, the crisis-stricken American people have experienced an unprecedented crisis, as if the Pacific Ocean is not enough to stop the enemy. At a time of high tension between the government and the military, the people have also consciously joined the 'defense of the United States Came under attack from the nuclear attack.
People meet in squares and parks every day, and even demonstrations on time and in batches every day to promote slogans.
Rosenberger is an employee of a street office of Citibank. Although the war affected millions of households, compared to Citibank's giants, employees' jobs are relatively stable and their income is more objective.
However, since the atomic bomb exploded in Japan, his work has become less stable and comfortable. At least, he felt a crisis, and this crisis even spread to the entire Citibank.
People are panicking, which is the root cause of all crises.
Even during the worst times of the war, such as the setback of the Pacific War, the defeat of the Southeast Asian War, the continued failure of Europe, and even the defeat of the Far East, the American people did not show the same anxiety and panic as they do today.
The American people know very well that the geographical advantage of the United States is unique, and there are no enemies in the entire America that can compete.
Since the founding of the United States of America, the people of the United States have enjoyed a life of paradise. Internal democracy, domestic development of economy and free trade, limited external expansion, and semi-closed conservatism did not have to be deeply involved in international affairs until the industrialization went on a large scale and the products were abundant.
From the end of the cabinet battle to the peak victory of World War I, to the high posture of the early World War II, the American people fully felt the supremacy of dominating a continent.
The American people are rich, the United States is very vast, and the United States is very secure. This is a deep-rooted concept. At the outbreak of World War I, while people in Eurasia and Africa were terrified, the American people laughed at the strongest human outbreak in history. war. As a result, the United States stepped in at the most critical moment. American soldiers rescued the world and defeated the Germans.
The Second World War began. The American people who made money in the First World War cheered endlessly. It was also a World War. It was also a world war unprecedentedly huge by Germany. The US government and people are looking forward to it. This is another great opportunity to make money.
As a result, the outbreak of the Pacific War directly dragged the United States into the quagmire early, and the Chinese participation in the war as an enemy completely dispelled the American pride.
However, at these times, the American people have not panicked, because there is always victory and defeat in the war, as long as the United States and the enemy are separated by the great America, the United States will not lose.
Unfortunately, the Far East was lost, and China and the United States have recently separated only by a narrow Bering Strait. The Chinese Pacific Fleet is unprecedentedly powerful. The huge aircraft carrier battle group has blocked the American people's free fleet again and again. The latest situation is that even Pearl Harbor is in danger of being lost again. Of course, after the Chinese punched with a combination of two strategic weapons: the strategic bomber and the atomic bomb, the Americans saw even worse, and panic began to spread.
Compared to the usual working time of 8 am in the morning, Rosenberg has been working early in the past few days. He arrived at the bank's business hall today or even 6 am, because the banker was about to squeeze the bank door.
"Don't crowd everyone, don't worry! Line up !!"
Across the thick wall of the firm's business hall, through the iron windows, Rosen saw the turbulent crowd outside, and he heard the guards complaining in a low voice: 'At least there is a line of persuasive meters.' .
The bank's management staff there also hoarsely maintained order, hiding behind the police and security guards, loudly guaranteeing that the bank's cash is still very sufficient, and Citibank will maintain the people's cash withdrawal needs.
"The free US government will guarantee the safety of everyone's deposits, and our gold deposits know ..."
However, the response he got was this: "Shit, politicians and bankers should die I only need my money !!!"
"Damn war, I want to take out the money to buy food and !!!" "Trust the government and the bank, it is better to trust a dog."
"We want to cash out !!!"
People waved their arms in anger, holding the various newspapers of the day in their hands, all the latest bad news, yes bad news.
Some young people even jumped to the side of the lamppost and shouted to the hundreds of meters long withdrawal team: "The latest news, the US government rejected the preconditions of the unilateral unconditional surrender negotiations proposed by the Chinese government, it The US government, they want us to taste the atomic bomb ... "
"The latest news, the Japanese government announced that it accepted the Chinese government's" prerequisites for Japan's unconditional surrender. "Oh God, the damned US government, the Japanese emperor and the military, personally announced the search for militarists and war criminals. Catch those war criminals who survived the Sino-Japanese War, see, God, the sincerity of the Japanese to surrender is enough to make Truman that silly pig feel ashamed of you ... "
Uh ...-oh god, the U.S. government, let ’s take a look at this ... According to the internal news of the dissatisfied officials of the Japanese Military Ministry, they have arrested the head of the Shiming Division and have been strong. Military officers above and above, a number of militarists and lower military officers in Putian ... God, they even broke out in a rebellious and peaceful rebellion war in Osaka, eventually surrendered by the besieged divisions, and the die-hards of the military department suicide by caesarean ... "
"God, everyone looks at the sincerity of the Japanese government. Their people do n’t want war, they do n’t want an atomic bomb. They would rather surrender. Look at the Truman, the American government. They have rejected the preconditions of unconditional surrender. They want this. During the war, they wanted the great American people to taste the taste of the Chinese atomic bomb.
"We must not let them do the same. We have to take out the money from the bank and buy all the food in the store. We have to prepare for the winter ..."
"Withdraw money, withdraw money ..."
"Withdraw money, withdraw money ..."
"Withdraw money ..."
Rosen is a public relations manager who is responsible for this sudden financial situation. When he heard and saw all this outside, he frowned.
I can't help feeling: the American people who have always been proud of themselves have such crazy times.
The situation is getting worse and worse. The first day of running runs only a line of more than 100 meters long, but it is growing day by day in the following days. It exceeded 500 meters in the morning.
He knew that the U.S. government rejected the preconditions of unconditional surrender and that the Japanese government ’s active surrender had a new impact on the situation, but his intuition and what he saw in the past few days told him that it seemed as if there was another hand behind it. Driving everything.
"Hi, Rosen."
Rosen returned to the office and actually saw Paul, the plainclothes police officer in charge of the piece.
Paul is an excellent plainclothes policeman, who has recently melted the order and caused serious chaos among the people ... "He was sent to cover the spy and maintain order.
Paul was also tired enough to slap his face, and even worse, even a few bruises on his face, and his clothes were messy like beggars. When he saw Rosen, he complained, "I swear, Rosen they recognize Just me, when I was standing in line with the team just now, a group of hooligan even rushed up and beat me. They shouted in my ear and told me that the fight was the police dog dog standing on the opposite side of the American people ... "
"...".
Hearing Paul's complaint, Rosen was stunned. When was it normal for the police to be beaten? In addition, plain clothes at the police station were beaten on the street by the underworld, and they dare to openly inform the world that 'the police are hit'. This has really changed.
"Then you should go back to the police station right away and tell your boss all this. Maybe you need support, such as catching the thugs."
"These thugs, they snatched my gun. I need a reason for my boss to realize that this is a fact, not my incompetence. So, I need your help to testify for me." Paul Dejected.
"Yes, no problem." To Paul's surprise, this friend who grew up a street has agreed easily.
"Hi, tell you a thing."
Paul took Rosen and said, "When I was patrolling on Rock Street in the past two days, I found some people are inciting the citizens. I followed up and investigated, and they went to unknown people after the parade and the end of the chaos. Get commissions, yes, damn, they actually get commissions.
"What, is this the case ????-
Rosen was shocked, and did not expect to hear such news from the plainclothes policeman, which coincided with his speculation.
"Yes, but it, God, I swear you don't know the absurdity that follows."
Paul said angrily, "I took one of them back to the police station and the others ran away. I explained to the police station what they were doing. As a result, they were sent to the police station in the morning and I had lunch. I saw them off by a sheriff in person ... "
"Well, this is not the worst. The worst is that yesterday and today, I actually saw a few familiar people in the run-in crowd at the bank's door, and intuitively told me that they had participated in runs in other streets. And the protesters. I guess they took the lead in the bank in the morning to take the lead in the run, took money to eat at noon, continued to lead the demonstration in the afternoon, took the money home at night, and continued the next day, damn, I think all the clues This is the truth of the expression ... But, Rosen, you know, these are useless, Sergeant Spears told me that they just express their dissatisfaction with the government too impulsively, and if they are caught, they will be like San Francisco. The targets of the siege have changed from banks and government buildings to police stations, even if they are really used and organized by the people ... The sheriff said that as long as our strength is maintained, they will not react with guns, or kill and set fire on the street. Just fine ... "
After Paul's complaint, Rosen was completely stunned.
He even thinks of one thing. His own younger brother Rodelberg has been a bit abnormal recently. He seems to be very busy every day. Today he is dressed as a worker, and tomorrow he is dressed as a teacher or other profession. Sometimes it is broken. Unbearable, sometimes they are very formal, and seem to be very busy every day, but never ask themselves for money, but support themselves cheerfully, and give the mother a considerable amount of money.
Is my brother ...
Thinking of this, Rosen has some headaches. He knows that these should not be considered by himself. Perhaps the crowds running outside are the ones that need to be solved. Even if they are instigated and driven to disrupt social order, what is the relationship with themselves?
After agreeing with Paul's testimony, Rosen walked out of the office and continued to return to the front desk lobby. He watched the crowd who had been queued for more than one kilometer and the crowd waiting several hundred meters in front of a nearby department store. He suddenly Aware of a terrible fact: after the demonstrations and demonstrations, run-ons and snap-ups have already taken place. What next? Could it be a riot or an anti-US government ...
Rosen's worry was not wrong, at the same time, Warwickton, the White House.
Truman looked outside at the White House lawn, which was once again occupied by the crowd. The police and order maintaining the original tried to expel the people but broke through the blockade. In the end, the people left the White House lawn for a few days and then re-emerged. Back, occupying the American highlands that this enemy has never occupied.
Unconditional surrender is unacceptable to the United States government, but the people use it to compare it with the Japanese government's willingness to accept unconditional surrender and actively cooperate.
He did not believe that the mainstream American people would not see the great harm brought by unconditional surrender. Although he also acknowledged that the atomic bomb panic was still spreading, far from over.
"Mr. President, according to our investigation, there are now some instigators everywhere. They take the lead in the early morning to queue up runs and snap-ups, congest traffic, and march to protest in the afternoon to block government buildings.
And, they get paid by the day.
Rubis, a deputy director of intelligence at the presidential palace, is reporting to Truman the complexities now.
"Who is paying them? Do police stations take measures?"
Truman asked.
"All Americans are paying them. No foreign forces are found. The reason they pay them is 'for the sake of the United States ...' They justified this behavior as doing good deeds and gambling ..."
Truman: ... "
"Some arrests were carried out ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but they were usually released in the morning and in the afternoon, because there was no evidence, and there was no way to plant stolen goods. In some places, some excuses were found for detention, and soon they were demonstrated. The siege of the masses, the police station had to release the suspects in custody on the spot ... "Truman:" Okay, I know. "
After the deputy director of intelligence left, Truman turned around and looked at those who were screaming and shouting on the lawn of the White House outside, shouting, waving flags, and clashing with the military and police. Even as a wise president, he could not tell these Is man the true American people who fight for freedom and peace, or the fallen who fight for the dollar.
He wanted to condemn the enemy who made it all. After all, this enemy is very obvious to the eyes of wise politicians. Although he hid in the back of millions of people, he felt deeply weak.
The war, the atomic bomb panic, defeat, soaring prices, and man-made malicious provocations all gave the United States a worst sign. However, the government could not let the people reject the dollar and gold bars of the people, and perhaps an immigrant to the Chinese Empire. Promise.
"These beauty."
Truman murmured, he knew that it had just begun. (To be continued !.
