Chapter 974: Nanjing Negotiations II

readx; It's just that this peaceful solution is difficult for Americans to accept, because the negotiations are under the threat of China's nuclear bombs, which means that if this negotiation does not allow China to obtain enough benefits, once the negotiations break down, then the war between China and the United States will break out without suspense, and New York will be bombed by nuclear bombs from China.

This situation made the US Secretary of State in charge of foreign affairs, Edward Jr., very angry, complaining about the slow progress of the Manhattan project and the B36 project in China, and on the other hand, he had to think about how to maximize the interests of the United States.

He calculated the many conditions put forward by China one by one, among which there were not many benefits for the United States, the first of which was that China would give up aid to Germany and even declare war on Germany. This is of great significance, because if China does this, not only will Germany lose a large number of strategic material sources, but more importantly, it will allow Soviet Russia to liberate a large number of troops from the Caucasus and Siberia and participate in the counteroffensive against Germany.

If there were no Soviet and Russian forces to launch a counteroffensive on the Eastern Front, the United States and the British Commonwealth alone would not have the confidence to push back Germany alone, since the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, it has always been Soviet Russia that has contained Germany's main forces, and Britain and the United States have only fought a war in North Africa and a small part of Germany.

According to the current situation, Edward Jr. concluded that if the negotiations broke down, China would completely fall to Germany, and then the next moment Soviet Russia would be attacked vigorously from China, and then Soviet Russia would not even be able to defend itself if it counterattacked Germany, and it was almost certain that under the attack of China and Germany, Soviet Russia would never last more than a year.

Once Soviet Russia falls, and only Britain and the United States are left, how can we talk about confronting the Sino-German coalition forces on the Eurasian continent! At that time, the United States will have to rely on the two oceans to protect itself.

In addition to Germany, China will also promise to establish a post-war World Economic Cooperation Organization with Britain and the United States, and to include the whole world in this scope based on the Asian Economic Cooperation Organization.

Both China and the United States now share the same goal, which is globalization, trying to integrate the global economic system and then reap huge benefits from it.

Little Edward believes that as long as China and the United States unite, there is no problem in integrating the global market, but this also brings a problem, that is, China and the United States will become the biggest competitors in the global market in the future, because China has opened up the Asian market, and the United States will also have to develop the American market and the future European market.

If China and the United States want to unite, the price that the United States needs to pay is not small, and China's proposal of the Philippines, the colonial trusteeship, and European interests will all be cut from the United States.

At another joint meeting of the United States, Edward Jr. said: "Now the attitude of the Chinese has been very clear, they want not only Asia, but also the entire Western Pacific and part of the Central Pacific and Europe. ”

As soon as his words fell, Henry next to him said: "Europe doesn't care about it, but the South Philippines must not give it to them, once we lose the South Philippines, we will lose the forward base that threatens China's mainland, if this is the case, then once a war breaks out in the future, we can only watch China bomb us with B19 bombers, but we have no power to fight back."

At this time, Marshall said: "Regarding the counterattack on the Chinese mainland, I just got the news yesterday that our B36 bomber has completed the production of a prototype, and it is expected to be able to make its first flight within a month and mass production within three months!" ”

The historical B36 bomber only made its first flight in 1946, but because the United States has been lacking an advance base for the bombing in the Pacific War a few years ago, and the threat of China is getting bigger and bigger day by day, the United States has not paid enough attention to the B36 bomber as in history, on the contrary, it has always attached great importance to it, so it is relatively normal for the first flight to be a year earlier.

"But what about nuclear bombs? When will we be able to develop a nuclear bomb? Henry said: "We have been investing heavily since last year, but why hasn't the first nuclear explosion test been carried out today?" Is it really going to wait until next year? ”

Marshall said: "Although the Manhattan project has increased its investment in the later stage, the investment in the later stage will play a role, and it will be next year, and the facilities we can use now are all invested in the previous two years!" ”

The research and development of the nuclear bomb project is not something that can be completed in a day or two, and it definitely does not mean that 10 billion yuan can be dropped today, but a nuclear bomb can be taken out the next day, and the money invested must first build a factory and then carry out production, and there is a shortest cycle here that money cannot solve.

"We expect to be able to conduct the first nuclear explosion test by October this year, and by early next year, we will have the first nuclear bomb that can be used in real combat!" Marshall's words made everyone present look very ugly.

"So you mean we still have to look at the faces of the Chinese for up to a year? Do you know how long a year is? One year is enough time to turn the global situation upside down, enough to completely withdraw us from the Western Pacific, enough to make us lose the Middle East and Europe! ”

Marshall said: "That is also a matter of no way, the reality is so, gentlemen, you don't have to blame me, now our most urgent thing is to delay as much time as possible under the threat of China's nuclear bombs, as long as we wait until our nuclear bombs and B36 bombers are produced, then the threat of the Chinese is not worth mentioning!" ”

"But now, my personal advice is to maintain diplomatic restraint as much as possible and avoid giving the Chinese an excuse for war!"

At this time, Vice President Truman said, "What if, I say, if China declares war on us?" ”

Hearing this, Marshall glanced at Truman with some dissatisfaction, and then said: "If China declares war on us, according to our predictions, our homeland will be hit by nuclear bombs within five days, and if the Chinese have enough nuclear bombs and B16 bombers, they can spend all the medium and large cities in our country in half a month in ruins!"

Although we do not yet know the exact number of nuclear bombs and the number of B19 bombers in China, based on the speed at which our Manhattan Project is refining nuclear materials, and the fact that they have dropped at least five nuclear bombs so far, then it is certain that they have completed the development of nuclear bombs before 1943, and there are at least ten or more nuclear bombs today, and if we push the time forward to 1940, then their nuclear bomb stock is at least thirty or more. ”

The US estimates are relatively accurate, because the production of nuclear bombs is still relatively difficult in the past few years, and in addition, China and the United States have adopted similar methods, so the production rate is also similar, and they can still estimate the annual output by and large, the problem is that the Americans do not know when China began to produce nuclear bombs, which represents at least five or six or even more than ten more nuclear bombs produced a year earlier, and the variables here are extremely large.

"As for the B19 bombing, also according to our B36 bombers as a comparison, due to the high purchase unit price, we conclude that the number of Chinese equipment will not exceed three hundred, but it is worth noting that only these three hundred are enough for them to carry nuclear bombs to blow our homeland into ruins!"

Nuclear bombing is not conventional bombing, and conventional bombing may require several thousand strategic bombers to achieve the initial effect, but for nuclear bombs, only one drop is enough, so the requirements for bomber proficiency are not too high.

"In addition to the domestic direction, in the Philippines and the Indonesian archipelago, we estimate that it will be lost between a month and three months, but if we rely on Australia, we can hold on for at least a year, of course, the specific situation depends on the navy's side, if the navy can ensure sea supremacy, then there will not be much problem in the western Pacific direction."

At this time, the Secretary of the Navy James: "The problem is not big in the navy, even if it is impossible to fully obtain sea supremacy, but it is still possible to form a stalemate in the Chinese Navy!" And the threat of nuclear bombs to our Navy is not great! ”

In fact, the threat of nuclear bombs mainly comes from the bombing of enemy cities, and the strikes on specific military targets are costly and outweigh the losses, especially the nuclear bombing of the navy, the effect is not as great as imagined.

However, once war breaks out between China and the United States, conventional warfare is already secondary, and the focus is on the strategic bombing of each other by the two sides, and China has two weapons of mass destruction, nuclear bombs and B19 bombers, and is sure to completely destroy a large number of cities in the United States within half a month, but the United States does not have the corresponding countermeasure capability.

When Truman heard these words, he frowned and said, "In this way, once the war starts, we will not be sure of victory!" ”

After these words were spoken, everyone below was silent!

"In that case, then let's negotiate with the Chinese!" Truman finally made his decision!

Now that US President Roosevelt's physical condition has been extremely bad, he is no longer able to handle affairs, and such power in the United States has been handed over to Vice President Truman.

When the US side decides, the negotiations between China and the United States on the division of interests after the war can be regarded as officially begin!

In Nanjing, Chen Jingyun was also relieved when he learned that the United States had expressed its willingness to hold formal negotiations, because after all, no one wants to fight a nuclear war, and if it can directly obtain sufficient benefits from the diplomatic negotiation table without going to war, it will also be a good thing for China.

'After so many years of layout, it has finally paid off! Chen Jingyun looked at the world map hanging on the wall of his office, and muttered: "It's just that the negotiations are successful now, but after the Americans develop the nuclear bomb, I am afraid that the situation will deteriorate, and the future disputes may be indispensable!" ”

Chen Jingyun understands that even if the Americans are forced to give up a lot of interests by relying on nuclear bombs now, the Americans will definitely not be reconciled, and after their nuclear bombs are also developed, the Americans will resume their tough posture and finally continue to compete with China on a global scale, but these are all things for the future, and now Chen Jingyun does not plan to think about too long-term things, first take advantage of the current advantages to make more benefits, and then solve the future matters later. Now we can't say that because the United States has not yet developed a nuclear bomb, it has some scruples.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the United States develops nuclear bombs in the future, but China has more nuclear bombs, even if there is a conflict in the future, which leads to war, who is afraid of whom in the event of a nuclear war! It's a big deal!
