Chapter 474 Sly Truman: Difficult Decision
Washington, America.
"Mr. President, this is today's opinion report."
Presidential assistant Simon held a large report on Truman's desk, but the latter frowned, and was alone there, wondering what was happening in the country.
It was very early in the morning, and Simon did not expect Truman to leave work so late, but upon careful consideration, the president's face was obviously a difficult problem, and his face was dull, as if something had been in his mind. As an assistant to the president, one of his tasks is to solve the problems of the president.
However, perhaps for ordinary people, Truman is the supreme American president who dominates the American continent. However, for Simon, he is just an old man, a helm at the United States, a leader who is good at listening to the opinions of others.
"Simon, put it here first."
Truman suddenly found that at this critical juncture, he couldn't find the generals and ministers on weekdays, but the wise assistant appeared in time.
"Mr. President, has anything happened?"
In the past few years in the White House, since Truman was vice president, Simon has rarely seen him frown with a dull face. Generally, this situation is related to the defeat of the war or the anti-government-people sentiment of the people.
Truman said slowly, "At around 3 am European time, that is, in the evening of Washington time, the Germans used ultra-large-scale biochemical weapons and attacked Moscow, Leningrad and other strategic places."
"Is the loss really unacceptable? Mr. President."
Although Simon is an assistant to the president, he has no first-hand information after all.
Truman nodded and handed him an emergency assessment report, saying, "Moscow and Leningrad have more than 2.7 million allies in strategic locations. At least one-third of these two battlefields are being poisoned by gas. Harm, others are waiting for rescue, maybe ... "
Simon quickly glanced at these data and found that in the two major strategic cities, the number of US troops was only about half a million. After all, the heavy forces of the US army assembled in the north of Moscow and confronted the Chinese.
They must not dare to drop gas bombs on Chinese positions, or even nearby.
Simon thought so.
Sure enough, he flipped around, and the report specifically stated that in the northern battlefield area of ​​Moscow where the Chinese were located, the Germans didn't mention a gas bomb, and even a stone was not dropped.
Excluding Moscow ’s losses and Leningrad ’s huge losses, these two ruined forts faced high-volume gas warfare, although it could not be said that the entire city was dead, but they were definitely high casualties. Other rear military camps were also attacked by poisonous gas to varying degrees.
"The Germans are simply butchers!"
Simon was so angry that he couldn't imagine the huge loss on the front line. Then he realized why he was as dull as Truman.
"I have authorized General Patton to fight back in any way."
Truman said lightly.
"Does it include an attack on German soil?"
Simon remembered the US military's b-29 strategic bomber deployed behind the Leningrad coast and the Soviet Union's Arctic Ocean Coastal Airport.
"Yes, in the latest telegram, General Patton confirmed to me once again the use of b-29 strategic bombers with gas bombs to attack Berlin's counterattack plan. The plan will mainly paralyze the Germans, and retaliation will suddenly occur later."
Truman nodded and said.
Simon: "The Germans in Berlin will tremble under the bombing of B-29."
He said with certainty that Truman nodded as well.
The gas bombs stored by the Allies on the front line, or the gas bombs stored within 1,000 kilometers of the battlefield on the front, were actually not less than the Germans, and even of higher quality, but they had not been used, but this time, he was ready to use them.
However, as an assistant to the president, Simon also thought of a very difficult problem. "But, Mr. President, the Chinese have an atomic bomb and they are allies. If we use a gas bomb to attack the German mainland, will it catalyze the completion of them? Negotiations for a nuclear lease? "
"I also considered this problem, but Simon, you should probably also notice that at this time, the war should end, yes, it should end."
Truman such a cunning man will certainly notice the problem, so when he replied to confirm the electricity, he demanded that he retaliate against the German chemical warfare until the local time tomorrow evening, that is, the Allied forces have one day Time, and the Germans have only one day.
"Mr. President, General Eisenhower is here."
Staff reports that soon, Eisenhower came in. The situation in the United States has been unstable recently. Just in Washington, hundreds of robberies, fires, and even attacks on police and patrolling forces have occurred every day. The troubled times have appeared in the United States. As the commander of the Allied Forces, Eisenhower was naturally aware of it, but felt helpless. He could never mobilize the army to suppress them on a large scale, or in other words, those people had not touched the bottom line of US politics and the army.
Later, Marshall and others also came, including the earliest Simon, and a simple overnight meeting was held in the president's temporary office. The meeting was very simple, even the seats were simple sofas, but the issues discussed were very major.
"Gentlemen, I think it's time to surrender unconditionally to the Chinese."
As soon as Truman came up, he raised this shocking topic, but it was not surprising. At this time when the war hit, the Chinese atomic bomb was still hanging high above his head, and he could not see the hope of victory. Perhaps surrender was a very serious matter. Good choice.
"Gentlemen, I don't think it's time to surrender. It doesn't mean that the United States has reached a time when it can't fight. On the contrary, I want to keep the last strength of the United States.
The war went on, just as we had planned two or three years ago after the successful development of the atomic bomb, Hanking and Berlin were attacked with an atomic bomb. In turn, the United States mainland could have an infinite possibility of a nuclear attack at such a difficult time. . "
Truman gave a slight pause and said, "Especially now, there has been an unlimited gas battle between our two sides. Maybe some of you have questioned my decision to fight back against revenge, but if we do n’t fight back, we wo n’t retaliate. The speed of the downfall was not 500 soldiers, not 5,000 soldiers, and nearly 3 million allies were suffering from poison gas. "
"We have no retreat, and revenge is the only option." Eisenhower suddenly interjected.
"Yes, my general, retaliation and counterattack are our only options. Although the news is still under blockade, once we react negatively, it is likely that the U.S. government will fall down tomorrow, and at that time, we will lose everything. Like the Germans, the new regime will overthrow the old regime, and then the new regime will negotiate with them and surrender. We cannot allow this to happen. "
Truman threw out his own bottom line, to ensure that the United States is not subject to nuclear attacks, and that US politics will not disintegrate or be overthrown.
After serious discussions and many questions to Truman, this issue was fully understood by the president.
Eisenhower understood it first.
President Truman believes that the Allied forces must take action when they are attacked by such a major gas war, otherwise the domestic situation will be more severe, weak treatment, and even the collapse of the government.
President Truman believed that retaliation against the Germans was necessary. First, he retaliated against German front-line targets. Second, he used the high-speed and high-speed penetration performance of the b-29 strategic bomber. He penetrated into major cities such as Berlin at night and dropped poison gas. bomb. (During World War II, high-altitude and high-speed penetration was used in aerial operations, and it was very useful. It continued until later, until American high-altitude high-speed reconnaissance aircraft were shot down by Red Army missiles and more high-altitude high-speed fighters were in service , Bombers and reconnaissance planes began to return to low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude penetration.)
Of course, President Truman considered the stimulus to the Axis by such actions, which may lead to the Germans renting gas bombs from the Chinese. Of course, even worse, the Zhang Shusheng took the initiative to order a nuclear attack on the United States, regardless of such Whichever happens, it will be a great calamity.
The United States cannot gamble, and the time has come for the war to continue.
Ordering the Allies to withdraw was one of the retaliatory actions. Second, at the most critical time, after the operation was successful, they agreed to the Chinese conditions and promised to surrender to China unilaterally and unconditionally.
This is the core idea proposed by Truman.
"Gentlemen, my expectation is that once our plan is successful, we will announce to the Chinese the first time they accept their conditions and surrender unconditionally.
The Germans are in a gas attack and have no absolute advantage over us, while the Chinese will stop any possible follow-up because we surrender. This is a fluke, but it is the only choice the United States can maintain after the Second World War. "
Truman slowly spoke all his thoughts.
These plans weren't something he spent hours thinking about, but a few months. From the time the Chinese asked unconditionally, he began to think about where the battlefield was going.
"Perhaps this is the best way."
After a long discussion, Eisenhower re-opened and said, "Based on the distance between China and the United States, their closest airports for strategic bombers to take off and land are under our key monitoring, even if it is a transit aircraft at night. Can't escape our intelligence.
So ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Of course, their bombing operation will never be more timely than we announced the acceptance of the conditions. "
The crowd nodded, and the president and General Eisenhower clearly reached an agreement. Monitoring the Chinese airport is only one aspect. The most important thing is to declare acceptance once the revenge operation is successful. In this way, the Chinese nuclear bomber should have no time to transfer. , The implementation of nuclear bombing.
From a war perspective, even if things go in the worst direction, the nuclear bomber has already flown to the United States, but as long as the United States announces its acceptance of the conditions and the United States unconditionally surrenders to China, the atomic bomb will not fall.
After all, as the last insurance, the latest U.S. high-altitude detection radars secretly deployed on multiple islands can alert the flying heights of strategic nuclear bombers, which is also one of the most secret weapons of the US military.

I'm particularly sorry. After returning from my hometown, I had a bad cold for five days and five nights in the delivery room. My tonsil was inflamed, my sore throat, dizzy, and a sign of viral flu. I was dizzy. The air conditioner blew on the weekend. Seriously, the codeword status is not serious in these two days.
