spn Chapter 482 Washington: Nuclear Explosion

United States, Washington. Novel Network

After Truman hung up the phone, he was not as relaxed as he had imagined. Instead, he felt an inexplicable sense of solemnity in his heart, weighing down on his heart like a mountain.

He made several more calls in succession, one to the Pacific Naval Command in Hawaii, one to the Homeland Air Defense Command Center in Los Angeles, one to the Atlantic Naval Command, and one to the Rim-Atlantic Homeland Air Defense Center.

However, no suspicious circumstances were found in the four aspects. Because of this, Truman felt that the development of the situation was very suspicious.[

No trace of Chinese strategic bombers was found at all, not even the existence of a reconnaissance aircraft was found, and other electronic jammers such as electronic jammers also found no trace of activity.

Truman was not a military expert, but since he had reached the position of president and had served as vice president in the White House for a long time, he would not be an idiot about the military. What's more, the special military adviser to the presidential office was an American lieutenant general who had participated in World War I.

He was also given a warning.

"The Chinese are probably brewing some huge conspiracy, and the corresponding matters of conditional surrender should be completed as soon as possible. Otherwise, the entire United States will not be able to sleep peacefully."

He valued the old lieutenant general's advice very much, so he insisted on surrendering on conditional terms. In his opinion, at this time, personal gain and loss of honor and disgrace were secondary, and the security and interests of the United States were the most important thing.

"Mr. President, General MacArthur is here."

From time to time, General MacArthur came to Truman's reception room. He was about to rest, but found that he could not sleep peacefully, so he urgently called MacArthur.

The former commander of the Pacific Theater is now one of the tridents of the military. Together with General Eisenhower and General Patton, they form the core triangle of the U.S. military.

The staff poured the two of them a cup of coffee and a cup of tea and then left, while MacArthur and Truman discussed the current situation.

"Mr. President, I think the current situation is not normal. The Germans have made a high-profile argument about the success of nuclear leasing. Under normal circumstances, the Chinese will carry out a nuclear strike as soon as possible to avoid a huge impact.

Public pressure.

But looking at it now, we haven't found any abnormality in their nuclear bombers at all. The airports in the entire Far East that can take off nuclear bombers are under 24-hour surveillance by our agents, but we haven't found anything. We also searched in many directions.

No unusual findings were found.

This seems to be a bad sign.net first release”

MacArthur seemed to want to say something, so he first gave some foreshadowing.

Truman: "What did the general want to say?"

"Mr. President, we should increase our investigation of neighboring countries, such as countries like Mexico. I very much doubt that the Chinese may secretly transport atoms to these countries to achieve the purpose of surprise attacks.

If they secretly place atoms in Mexico or Cuba, then all it takes is an ordinary bomber or transport plane to break through our fragile borders and drop atoms on our soil."

As soon as MacArthur opened his mouth, he mentioned a possibility that made Truman stand up in shock, "I was watching a TV program this morning. The reporter interviewed a businessman and asked him where his Chinese goods came from.

He told reporters that his Chinese goods are imported from China, but not directly, but imported to Cuba. One reason is that storage costs there are low, and warehouse rental and management costs are low. The second reason is that it can avoid warring countries.

trade barriers.

This makes me think that the Chinese may also put atoms in these countries and then bomb us nearby."

"General, I attach great importance to the possibility you raised. I am sure that this possibility is very high." [

Truman said seriously, and then called two military officers and asked them to step up intelligence spying on Mexico, Cuba and several other neighboring countries, and at the same time strengthen radar surveillance and air patrols in these areas.

Although Cuba and Mexico both nominally supported the Great America Plan and sent troops to join the Allied Forces, Truman did not believe that the Chinese could not bribe these countries. What's more, if the Chinese secretly entered by other means, these military and ruling forces would

Countries that are very weak may not be able to detect the actions of the Chinese.

A somewhat more complicated situation is that although these countries sent troops to participate in the war, they did not declare war on the Chinese, nor did they implement the policy of denying trade to the Chinese. They sent hundreds of pitifully small soldiers,

While interacting with Chinese people normally.

Now when MacArthur mentioned this possibility, Truman immediately thought that this possibility was very high. Otherwise, the Chinese would have to take off bombers from their homeland. Otherwise, the Chinese would never take off strategic bombers from aircraft carriers.

This is obviously impossible.

"General, we will have an evening meal together."

Truman was in a much better mood and ordered a supper to be prepared. He and MacArthur sat in a close seat together, eating the meal, watching the night view of Washington outside, and discussing political and military matters.

Both of them tacitly did not mention the conditions for surrender after dawn. Truman's mood was still relatively depressed, while MacArthur had been determined to surrender on the conditions of participation in the previous internal meeting and was the general representative of the U.S. Army attending the meeting.

In other words, both of them are the type to take the blame.

The current trident of the US military, General Patton, is a war criminal that the Germans are clamoring for, and the Chinese will probably not let him go. Eisenhower will preside over the endgame after the war fails, and MacArthur has become the American who surrendered on condition.

** Party must represent.

"Today's night is beautiful, the starry sky is vast."

Truman looked out at the starry sky, as if he had returned to his farm in Grandview, Missouri, where he could often see the most beautiful night sky.

"Hey, I can actually see shooting stars!"

Truman suddenly pointed somewhere in the night sky unexpectedly and said to MacArthur.

"Oh? Meteor?"

MacArthur looked around and saw an elongated meteor-like object with a bright fire flashing at its tail. But the next moment, he turned pale with fright and said in horror, "No! No!"

No!! Mr. President, that’s not a shooting star, that’s a guide!!”

"guide??"

Although Truman was not sure whether it was a missile or not, he was not MacArthur. He had seen missiles launch, but not at night.

He also realized that something was wrong, "Is there anything unusual about the conductor?"

MacArthur was shocked and said with a trembling voice, "Mr. President, there is no missile force near Washington at all. Even if it is to direct exercises, it will never be possible to launch missiles towards Washington."

"Could it be..."

A strong uneasiness and fear arose in the hearts of both of them. The topic they were discussing just now seemed to become possible in an instant. Could it be that the Chinese imitated the Germans and put the guide in Cuba, just like the Germans used it from Europe?

Like a missile attack on London, an attack on Washington?

However, the missile, which was flashing with bright fire, fell at an unimaginable speed, and finally exploded at an ultra-low altitude still some distance away from the ground.[

"boom!!!!"

There was a loud noise that would destroy the world, and a huge fireball like the sun lit up where it exploded.

"ah!!"

For the first time, Truman and MacArthur felt that a huge bright light lit up in front of their eyes, and the whole world was as bright as daytime, no, brighter than the intensity of a hundred daytime suns.

At this moment, both of them thought of something.

"atom!!!"

"The Chinese used atoms!!!"

However, it was too late, and they could not even make any reaction. The nuclear explosion, which was only more than one kilometer away from the White House, had already released devastating energy.

The huge explosion brought about an instant huge shock wave. The power of a nuclear explosion with the equivalent of 250,000 tons of TNT was not much better than that in Japan.

The huge shock wave instantly shattered all the rooms in the White House and the Presidential Palace, and the glass instantly turned into shards and flew into the house.

A huge shock wave immediately rushed into the house, blowing everything inside away.

The huge shock wave was accompanied by combustion and nuclear radiation. Because it was too close to the center of the nuclear explosion, the White House could not withstand the huge shock wave of the explosion. Due to the disrepair and aging of the buildings, the entire White House actually collapsed.

.

This building, which was not tall but symbolized the highest power in the United States, was crumbling in the huge shock wave. In the end, it failed to hold on and collapsed.

Objects in the building were also ignited, and the fire raged through the ruins, and no one could escape.

Truman and MacArthur were blown away immediately and almost died when they were hit on the wall. Then the White House collapsed and both of them were crushed in the rubble.

Coincidentally, Truman was not alone at the moment before his death. Instead, he vaguely felt himself grabbing a hand. Of course, this was also MacArthur's feeling.

Because they really held each other's hands, the president and the five-star general were actually able to have someone with them before they died. Of course, they were not only accompanied by each other, but also by everyone in the White House and everyone in the nearby neighborhood.

, or even more people, one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, five hundred thousand...

Washington is too densely populated.

At the moment of the explosion, all Americans who were still addicted to nightlife suddenly found that the sky lit up, and the next moment, a huge explosion sounded.

Everyone looked up at the sky and saw a huge fireball burning in the sky in the direction of downtown Washington, as if it was the end of the world. The whole of Washington was as bright as daytime.

No, it's brighter than daytime.

"Atoms!!! God, is the atom!!!"

"Help!! Run!!!"

“Chinese atoms!!!”

The entire Washington was plunged into hell in an instant. Several kilometers from the center of the atomic explosion were razed to the ground. A large number of buildings over ten kilometers collapsed and burned. Of course, even more terrifying nuclear radiation was spreading throughout Washington.
