readx; The bombing campaign was given a very interesting name by some of the hawkish young people in the nuclear bomb project, and the project was codenamed "Sakura Project", and the nuclear bomb used to bomb Tokyo was also given the nickname "Sakura." Originally www.biquge.info some people still wanted to use chrysanthemums as a code name, because chrysanthemums are the pattern of the imperial coat of arms, and in their words, it is a gift to the emperor. However, the hawkish young people said that the nuclear bomb was not given to the royal family, but to all of them, so they simply used their national flower, the cherry blossom, as a pronoun.

Chen Jingyun nodded slightly after listening to these words, and then said, "Got it, prepare a relevant press conference, I will attend it in person!" ”

As Chen Jingyun's closest official, Yan Jing Kuang knows more about China and some confidential things about Chen Jingyun than Ma Yinchudu, president of the Government Council, and he already knows about the nuclear bomb project that other military and political tycoons don't know.

Yan Jing Kuang is no longer young, he is in his sixties and his hair is gray, and he has been by Chen Jingyun's side for many years, which has given him power that other Chinese officials cannot obtain, and the pressure is also enormous. But all this is worth it for him, don't look at the surface in the civil system now Ma Yinchu has the largest official position, but the cabinet members in the civil system have come up and down in the past few decades, and the term of office is as short as five years but not as long as ten years, but he Yanjing Kuang has been sitting firmly in the post of director of the Secretariat for many years, and at the same time, he was elected as a member of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the National Socialist Party at the 1940 National Socialist Party Congress. His status in the Kuomintang is comparable to that of civilian bigwigs like Ma Yinchu and bigwigs such as Shen Gang and Guan Shijie in the military.

Yan Jing Kwong has been in charge of the Secretariat for 15 years, which not only makes his own power far greater than that of Yu Shifeng, the head of the Secretariat of the previous generation, but also greatly enhances the political status of the Secretariat. The Secretariat has become one of the most desirable institutions for young officials in China, and a large number of promising young officials aim to enter the Secretariat, and accumulating sufficient qualifications and gaining Chen Jingyun's recognition will be of great effect on their future careers.

Because in the secretariat, they can often come into contact with Chen Jingyun and many military and political bigwigs, and to help Chen Jingyun deal with many national affairs, they can not only accumulate vital connections in the officialdom, but also broaden their horizons.

After Yan Jing Kuang went down, Chen Jingyun also pondered, this time to launch a nuclear bomb bombing on Yue Ben, naturally it was his personal decision, the reason why he decided to launch a nuclear bomb bombing on Yue Ben was not only to completely destroy Yue Ben's confidence in resistance, but also to show the United States China's powerful nuclear threat force.

At present, the potential confrontation between China and the United States in the Philippines and the Central Pacific is very serious, and if this situation continues, I am afraid that after the United States has jointly cleaned up the so-called "book," it is estimated that China and the United States will have to break out a war in the Pacific before the United States can free up its hands to fight the Germans.

To be honest, neither China nor the United States wants a war with each other, because both sides know that once China and the United States fight, they will lose both. But even so, the conflict of interests between the two countries in the South and Central Pacific is so serious that the slightest carelessness in the absence of either side can lead to a large-scale war.

Under such circumstances, Chen Jingyun naturally hoped to use nuclear bombs to put pressure on the Americans and force them to cede some of their interests in the South Pacific and the Central Pacific.

After all, the biggest role of the nuclear bomb is the threat, and if it is really used on a large scale, it will be a disadvantage, as for the bombing, it is an exception, one is that it is difficult to force the person to surrender by conventional bombing alone, and moreover, China needs a place to let the nuclear bomb explode in order to obtain the effect of killing chickens and monkeys.

He said, 'This is the chicken, and the United States is the monkey!'

While Chen Jingyun was waiting for the news of the Sakura Project, four B16 bombers escorted by more than 30 F5E fighters were cruising at a speed of more than 300 kilometers above the altitude of 10,000 meters.

If it had been at the beginning of the Sino-Chinese war, he would have sent fighter planes to intercept it at this time, but during the strategic bombing that had lasted for two months before, the limited number of native air defense fighters had suffered heavy losses, and he was no longer able to organize a large-scale aircraft group to resist, and a large number of radar stations had been destroyed, so that Ben's air defense system had almost fallen into total chaos.

As the war progressed, the Zhong Kui, Type 3 and Type 4 fighters that could have been intercepted at high altitude were fewer and fewer, especially the Type 4 fighters on which they had high hopes were subjected to intensive strategic bombing. The original estimate of producing more than 1,000 aircraft per month was far from being achieved, and the production of the Hurricane fighter in August was only about 300 units, and in September it dropped to more than 100 aircraft.

However, even these small quantities of Hurricane fighters were shot down in large numbers in the course of interception operations, and to this day, the Kwantung region, which is said to be the core area of the country's air defense, can only muster more than a dozen Hurricane fighters to take to the air for combat, and the pilots who fly these fighters are all rookie pilots.

The years of war have almost wiped out the elite pilots trained before the war, and the intensive air battles with the Chinese Air Force in the past few months have exhausted the few elite pilots left in the country, even though they are fighting on their own soil, many of the downed pilots can survive, but many will die directly in the air battle or die without having time to parachute.

In fact, relatively speaking, the losses of the Chinese Air Force pilots are higher than those of the Ben, and the main reason here is that the pilots of the Chinese Air Force are very difficult to find and rescue after being shot down in the air over the Ben, and they are either killed or captured by the Ben, and this situation is also the fundamental reason why the Chinese Air Force is forced to set up an air force special service regiment, hoping to use the elite special forces of this unit to infiltrate the Ben and then search and rescue these parachuted pilots.

However, with the huge number of aircraft and pilots, the Chinese Air Force has maintained absolute air superiority despite suffering considerable losses in the skies over the city.

At 8:12 local time in Tokyo, Tokyo, which had been strategically bombed many times, was already full of ruins, although it had been bombed intensively many times, but there were still quite a few areas of Tokyo that remained intact, and people began to walk out of their homes that had become ruins in the morning, or went to work or went to the store to queue up to buy necessary daily necessities. The main targets of the bombing were major cities, and the bombing caused a large-scale shortage of daily necessities in major cities, and Tokyo began to supply daily necessities in limited quantities very early.

In fact, the rationing of daily necessities is not a matter for the whole family, and this is the case in all the major participating countries, including China and the United States.

In addition to the wartime economic planning committee that had been established during the Sino-Russian war, in June 1944, many temporary departments such as the wartime production coordination department, the wartime food supply department, the wartime oil distribution department, the wartime rubber distribution department, and the wartime labor department were set up one after another.

In addition to the wartime economic planning committee, which is a serious official body, the rest of these wartime departments are not simple political axe institutions, but semi-official and semi-non-governmental organizations, and most of the directors of these departments are the leaders of major enterprises and non-governmental organizations, such as the most important wartime production coordination department, whose minister is concurrently served by Yan Aoyun, president of Fule Electric, and the deputy director of the wartime oil allocation department is the general manager of Northern Petroleum, and the director of the wartime economic stability bureau is Fei Jingxian, director of the economic department of Southeast UniversityDuring the war, the Minister of Labor was Bing Haoyang, the vice president of the Chinese trade unions.

All of the above, whether official or semi-official, are directly under the direct leadership of the Presidential Office.

It must be said here that China's current central political system is not a simple one-party politics or a simple bureaucratic system, and many of the high-level cabinet members, especially the cabinet members, are not professional officials, and a considerable number of cabinet members are scholars or corporate executives. In 1940, the cabinet of the Minister of Industry and Commerce was not an official before, but a serious entrepreneur, he was the former president of the Fuhang Textile Group Ji Yongan, is a professional manager, in 1940 when the call was very loud, the Minister of Finance candidate Fei Jingxian is not an official, but the director of the Department of Economics of Southeast University.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, Chen Jingyun is very inclined to choose scholars because of the very high level of professionalism required of cabinet members, and on the other hand, it is also related to the political tradition formed in China over the past few decades, especially in the late Qing and early Republic periods, when many high-ranking officials were non-professional bureaucrats, and there were many examples of lawyers, business executives, and prestigious gentry being invited to serve as political axe executives, and this tradition has been continued.

In this respect, China's cabinet system is somewhat similar to that of Western countries!
