Chapter 447 Alliance Panic

United States, Washington.
There were some guards standing next to the lawn behind the White House. On the lawn, two old men were walking and talking.
"General Eisenhower, we urgently recalled you from London this time because something special happened."
President Truman raised the crutch in his hand, stopped, looked at Eisenhower and said. Previously, the Allied Commander-in-Chief was in London approaching the European battlefield to conduct remote command, but suddenly received an emergency order from Washington.
, so I flew back to the United States overnight.[
After getting off the plane, he was taken to the White House by a presidential car before he even had time to rest. After a brief wash, he saw the president, whose brows were furrowed and his expression showed a lot of frustration and fatigue.
Truman was a relatively capable president with strong abilities. The key was that he supported the war very much and was a staunch advocate of war. It can be said that he deepened the plan of gradually moving towards war and deepening the war formulated during the Roosevelt period.
Enter the war and ultimately win the war.
This set of policies has been tried and tested many times. During World War I, it was this step-by-step approach to intervening in the war, doing business first and then going to war, that made the Americans a lot of money.
It can even be said that without the rise of the Chinese, they would still be the final winner in this war, because no one can defeat the United States, at least not the Germans.
But the emergence of China quickly changed all this. The economy quickly lost its advantage. The world's largest industrial manufacturing technology and scale were successively taken away by the Chinese, and then science and technology, major scientific and technological achievements, urban construction, social living standards, and even
The entire social productivity has been rapidly surpassed.
The moment they were dragged into the war, the Americans found themselves trapped in a quagmire and very passive. However, the Chinese did not stop and wait for the American bull to show its fatigue. Instead, they rushed forward quickly.
The war hindered the development of almost all important countries in the world, but it only transformed the Chinese from a world power to an empire.
"Mr. President, are you worried about the war on the front line? Although the dragon of China has penetrated too deeply into the European war, it has indeed caused great adverse effects and may even lead to our failure. This is also what I suggested before,"
Eisenhower couldn't help but be surprised, secretly thinking that armistice negotiations were really going to be implemented soon, right?
He is well aware of the difficulties faced by the American government and the Allied Powers, and is no better than the Nazi Legion. Although it has not been affected by the war, the Nazi Legion owns almost the entire rich area of Europe, and its industrial capabilities and war potential are not even comparable to those of the United States.
of.
The strength of the United States lies in a very complete industrial system. As a complete country, it has not been exposed to war, which allows it to mobilize the resources of many Allied countries, produce them in the United States, and transform them into war weapons and materials to supply the Allied forces in World War II.
But now, with the war stalemate, no one dares to say how long it will take for the war to end, especially with the fearful reinforcements coming from the Germans, and the morale of the Allies is gradually weakening.
"I am naturally worried about the war on the front line, but this time the incident is more serious and may even threaten the peace and tranquility of the United States in the near future. It is a fatal threat."
Truman said seriously, his tone unquestionable, he calmed down, walked to sit on the French bench next to him, and Eisenhower followed.
"Mr. President, has something happened that endangers the security of our homeland?"
Eisenhower speculated that the Chinese had plans to attack the United States from the North Pacific direction?
However, he believes that this possibility is not high. Although the place where the Chinese are closest to U.S. territory is only separated by the Bering Strait, he has not received any reports of large-scale gatherings of Chinese in the Pacific.
"No. This time the situation is even more serious." Truman took a deep breath and said seriously, "General, I hope that everything I say next will not be revealed to anyone except me.
‘Reveal’, even if others already know the secret.”
"I assure you, Mr. President, even if Mr. Vice President asked me, I would not say anything." Eisenhower stood up, saluted a military salute, and replied seriously. He had rarely seen Truman act so seriously.
time.[
Truman nodded and said slowly, "According to reliable information, Hitler personally announced secretly at the top six-person meeting of the Nazis that the war conditions offered by the Chinese were not to attack Moscow at the most critical moment, but also to
It's not a flank attack, but..."
Hearing this, Eisenhower suddenly had a very bad feeling. As a wise commander-in-chief, he immediately guessed poison gas and other biological weapons.
"According to Hitler's own speech at the six-person meeting, Zhang Shusheng promised the Germans that at the most critical moment, nuclear weapons, the atoms we are developing, would be used to bomb Moscow, Leningrad, and London."
As the supreme commander, and as someone who knew the inside story of the former US atomic project, Truman knew very well what atomic bombing meant.
"What? The Chinese are going to use atoms!!"
Although he had known for a long time that the Chinese had this extremely powerful secret weapon, Eisenhower still couldn't help but stand up. Even though he was the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, he could not calm down.
What does an atom mean? It means the death of thousands of people in a short period of time, it means nuclear radiation, and it means that the Allied heavy armored army that is actively defending or charging can be easily wiped out by an atom.
He even thought of the United States. Yes, Mr. President is right. Maybe one day, an atom will fall on the head of the United States. At that time, the United States' atom may not have been successfully developed yet.
It is indeed a major incident that endangers the most fundamental interests of the Allies and the homeland security of the United States.
"Mr. President, since Hitler dared to secretly announce it at the six-person meeting, then this matter is probably true. We and the Chinese seemingly accidentally acted out a show, and we avoided the Chinese's 'spirit'
Rui Expeditionary Force, the Chinese reduced casualties and let the Germans charge into the battle, and they were still willing to do so.
However, this does not mean that the Chinese hope that the war will continue forever. According to the secret agreement reached between China and Germany, China and the European Federation will carve up the Eurasian and African continents. So far, their only enemies on the three continents of Eurasia and Africa are
We don’t even have local opposition forces.
So, I think we should be extremely wary of this kind of commitment from the Chinese."
Eisenhower thought in his mind and put forward his own suggestion. You must not believe Hitler was lying about this kind of thing, because the Chinese really have enough reasons to use atoms to end the war as soon as possible and make the situation extremely beneficial to the Chinese.
Beneficial to the Axis powers.
Rather than saying that what the two believed was what Hitler said, it was better to say that the leaks in Hitler's secret meeting pointed out all the possibilities for the Chinese to use atoms. They believed in the Chinese and the Eastern emperor.
The same ruler Zhang Shusheng would definitely do that.
"The biggest reason why the Chinese dare to use atoms is that people don't know its terrible lethality. Before a gun kills someone, no one will be keen to stop it. People will not condemn and fear it until the person is dead. The Chinese,
Seized the opportunity."
Only then did Truman discover how wise and forward-looking the U.S. government's nuclear weapons development plan was, regardless of the progress, but after it was sabotaged by the Chinese, all of this was temporarily in vain.
.
Even if the atom is successfully developed in two years, who knows what will happen two years later?
What needs to be concerned about now is not how long it will take for the United States to successfully develop atoms, but when the atoms that the Chinese have successfully developed will fall on the British and Americans, or fall on the United States in large quantities.
"Mr. President, we must not allow this to happen. I think that maybe we can negotiate conditions with the Chinese. Their dictator and emperor Zhang Shusheng is the one who puts interests first. As long as there are enough interests, he will definitely be able to change
The original intention of the Chinese people.”
Eisenhower knew very well that since the Soviet Union could not be saved in the end, he should also consider the affairs of the United Kingdom and the United States. Otherwise, it would be most uneconomical to end up in a nuclear war.
Although, in this era, except for the Chinese, no one knows how powerful atoms, or even the more advanced and powerful hydrogen, are.
"We should indeed keep Britain. Although the Chinese have a huge appetite, they need at least several decades of digestion. Otherwise, the huge half of Eurasia and Africa can completely bury any of their ambitions."[
In fact, so far, Truman already has a solution in mind.
"My general, just now, my intelligence officer reported to me that the British have obtained accurate information. By now, Churchill should be in chaos."
Truman personally ordered the news to be sealed with the highest level of top secret. Even the British did not obtain the shared information. Although the British agents penetrated deeper, they obtained the information later.
No one knows whether it was the six-member conference group that leaked the secret, or the most senior generals of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, or even the leak from within China. Anyway, a seemingly huge secret has become known to high-level people in various countries.
's secret.
Even the war on the front lines has slowed down. Although it is raging again, the top leaders of various countries are too cautious. Even Stalin can't wait to retreat again.
It was simply too unsafe. Although Leningrad was considered the base camp of the Soviet army, the danger was more than staggering compared to the power of the atom.
The British felt like their butts were on fire for the first time and almost jumped into the Atlantic Ocean. The Chinese actually set one of their atomic drop targets to be London.
Churchill immediately chose to fly to Washington to have the highest-level secret talks with Truman about the Allies.
Late the next day after the Americans obtained the intelligence, the United States conveyed a certain degree of goodwill to the Chinese government through the embassy of a neutral country in China, a non-governmental academic exchange group composed of well-known medical professionals.
, preparing to come to China for an academic visit in the name of the Red Cross.
