Chapter 833: The Young Presidents of the United States Are Coming
"I've finally arrived in this ancient and magical land, full of surprises!" John F. Kennedy put down his pen and walked to the window to look out at a brightly lit street.
Like some places in the United States, there is no lighting control.
Although this is the central capital, he also did not encounter the light control in Qingdao last night.
At first, he was disdainful of the carelessness of the Chinese, knowing that the day himself was not far from them, and that his bombers could drop bombs on their heads at any time according to the instructions of the lights.
Melbourne, Australia, has suffered such a loss, and even Hawaii's ports and cities are enforcing light restrictions.
Then he heard the news, but he was speechless.
It's not that the Chinese people don't know about light control, and there are different degrees of military control systems. Now it's just a yellow alert and there is no provision for light control. Moreover, the young lieutenant of the Huaxia Navy who introduced him to this also declared that they were not afraid of the bombing of the "Day" himself at all, and even said disdainfully that the "Day" himself was too timid to bomb again.
Kennedy was speechless for a while, "Day" himself will be timid? They weren't too timid to go straight to New Zealand or even East Samoa to drop bombs.
But when he heard from his colleagues about the glorious achievements of the Chinese in shooting down the Japanese invasion fighters again and again, he could only be speechless again.
is so close, it's not that I haven't dispatched bombers, but without exception, there is no return. Even before they approached the coastline of China, there would be fighters to intercept them, and each time a stream of thunder and lightning or hellcat would swell with more and less hits, so that the Zero Type of the "Day" himself did not dare to escort it.
Even if they fly to land with great skill and the cover of night, the ensuing anti-aircraft artillery will leave them in vain with patches of resentment floating in the sky.
As long as there is a highly efficient radar and an all-weather air force interceptor unit on duty, the interception of fighter planes can be completely done, but the Chinese air defense artillery, which has changed the color of the Japanese pilots, is so sensitive and accurate that the Americans have been unable to figure it out.
The anti-aircraft artillery of this era had a somewhat chance of chance, especially in the dark. Even with flares and searchlights, the probability of hitting an enemy aircraft is relatively low. However, the Huaxia air defense force is extremely efficient, they will not know that those second-level or third-level alert artillery can operate on their own under the control of the brain, but only heard that Huaxia has an independent operation of a highly classified second artillery unit, ensuring the safety of the sky and even coastal defense in Huaxia, and the famous pioneer cannon belongs to their control.
The navy of the Japanese himself was so frightened by the Pioneer artillery that they did not dare to approach the coastline of China, and the bombers of the Japanese were also frightened by the interceptor fighters and anti-aircraft artillery networks of the Chinese and retreated. What's more, every time it is bombed, China will inevitably redouble its retaliation. The Flying Fortresses will not hesitate to dump more bombs on the bustling cities of the Japanese mainland, and even occasionally "detonate" a few biological and chemical weapons production bases, which makes the Japanese themselves depressed.
Now that China and Japan have a tacit understanding, they will not easily bomb each other. In addition to Weihai and Dalian, which are closest to Japan. In other places, there is generally no need for light control in places close to Japan.
The same is true in the western part of the country where Soviet Russia meets, and even if China is now waging war against Soviet Russia and Japan at the same time, the impact of the war cannot be seen at all in many places.
When he first arrived in Zhongdu today, he also saw long queues in front of two movie theaters asking for tickets for the latest movies.
The movie "Star Wars 1", a co-production between China and Hollywood, was released at the same time in China and the United States.
When he was leaving, he couldn't bear the repeated persuasion of his friends and watched a scene. Although the plot has been greatly changed according to the reality of World War II, and the special effects are somewhat rudimentary compared to the later ones, it is already a masterpiece in the era when radio aliens can cause mass riots in the United States.
Many of the most advanced filming techniques of the future and the unimaginable recreation of extraterrestrial civilizations made the film a huge success. The box office directly caught up with "Gone with the Wind", and it also made Kennedy, who was stimulated by the wonderful fierce battle scenes, addicted.
Ronald Wilson Reagan, who played an important supporting role in the movie, flew with him to China. He also put on a military uniform for military service, and as a lieutenant in the army, he followed the film team of the United States Army Air Corps to China to shoot some educational films.
According to him, there is a more exciting movie in Huaxia, "Shushan", which will land in the United States after "Star Wars" knocks on the American film market, in which he was also invited to play a supporting role as a demon king.
Listening to some of Reagan's descriptions of Xianxia plots, Kennedy had another mysterious impression of the ignorant and backward Huaxia with pigtails in his mind.
At the beginning, when he received the Navy's mission to observe China, Kennedy was reluctant.
It's not just that China is poor and backward relative to the United States. More because having been promoted to lieutenant, he has always wanted to go to sea to fight.
Not because he wanted to wash away the stain on his ex-girlfriend Ingo who was suspected of being a German spy, but because he wanted to prove himself.
Due to his physical condition, he was brushed off from joining the army, and he could only enter the Naval Intelligence Bureau through his family connections, where he was engaged in the work of checking and summarizing foreign intelligence stations. He didn't want this stable civilian job, he just wanted to prove himself from the flames of war and get rid of the shadow of his brother who was a pilot and soared in the sky.
Little did he know that his brother, who had always been expected to become the president of the family, would crash in World War II due to a coincidental mechanical failure of the plane, or that he would later wear the title of one of the greatest presidents in American history. All he knew was that he had been lost.
Due to the difficulties of naval warfare in the Pacific, his application was not approved, and he did not enter the naval academy for training, but was transferred to Zhongdu to continue to be responsible for checking and summarizing the intelligence information of intelligence stations in various parts of China.
Compared with fighting on the sea with the fierce "Ri" himself, there is no doubt that such work is relatively safe. But that's not what he needs.
Kennedy couldn't help but laugh at the light below the window.
With the cooperation and exchange of naval cooperation between the United States and China, many naval officers with backgrounds have taken this bus.
The George Herbert Walker Bush he met yesterday at the naval port in Qingdao was a Navy pilot turned from a Navy pilot, his father was a state senator, and his grandfather was a Wall Street financial tycoon, the George Herbert Walker from which his name is inherited.
The young man just graduated last year, and he is also full of vitality, but his ambition makes it impossible for him to fall on a dangerous battlefield.
Now the Japanese themselves are too strong, the Sydney defense line is crumbling, and the entire Pacific theater has become the most dangerous place for the US Navy. Unlike the U.S. Navy's soy sauce in the Atlantic, crises in the Pacific need to be fought by the United States alone. The brutality of the Japanese himself makes the navy here not on vacation, but really facing the test of life and death.
Kennedy had sorted out many cases of the Japanese himself slaughtering prisoners of war, and they saw that the British and American officers who had fallen into the water would not only not help as gentlemanly as the Germans, but would use machine-gun bullets to send the poor people to hell.
This is too dangerous for some people with backgrounds who are planning to come to gild.
The military exchanges in China can not only get a lot of military merits, but also learn ~~-update the first launch~~ a lot of diplomatic and other experience, or pull the contacts of the big market in China, paving the way for their future in the future.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Kennedy was stunned, closed his handwriting, and replied, "Please come in!" ”
Richard Millhouse Nixon pushes the door in.
Kennedy's eyes furrowed slightly.
Nixon was a member of the Democratic Party like him, but he joined the Republican Party in '38. The contradictions between the two parties are easy to provoke gossip, which makes him a little sensitive to Nixon's arrival.
However, he has no intention of entering politics. Moreover, shortly after Nixon, a lawyer, entered the Navy, he came with Kennedy and others to provide legal support for the settlement of the matter of American intelligence spies detained in China.
"Today's coordination between us and Huaxia was not successful." Nixon looked at Kennedy and said bluntly, "What is it that makes the Chinese so tough?" I think you should know something. I'm at a loss right now, and I don't know where to start. ”
"It's a military secret, and it's really inconvenient for me to divulge it. Tomorrow Senator Mr. Truman will also come over, and he will also join this consultation. Let's wait until he comes! Kennedy was stunned, then smiled.
