Chapter 937: Surrender Controversy I

readx; China dropped three nuclear bombs on Ben and warned Ben to surrender quickly or drop a fourth, fifth, or even more bombs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If China had dropped only one or two, the United States would not have been too shocked, because according to the existing technical conditions, the production of nuclear bombs is too difficult, and even if the research and development is successful, it is impossible to quickly achieve mass production, and the United States has invested enough in the Manhattan Project, and after receiving China's nuclear bombing of Tokyo, the United States has urgently increased its investment in the Manhattan Project. Most of this additional investment and the previous investment of nearly $2 billion were used for the refining of nuclear raw materials, that is, for the construction of uranium enrichment plants, special power plants, reactors and other infrastructure, and the actual cost on the design and research of nuclear bombs was less than 10%.

This is very similar to the situation in China's nuclear bomb research, although China said that it had been researching for many years before 1940, but it did not spend much on technical research, otherwise it would not have been said that Chen Jingyun's private funds alone would have been enough to support it until the thirties. The real cost of the bomb project was after the large-scale construction of uranium enrichment plants, captive power plants, and other infrastructure for large-scale refining of nuclear materials began in the late thirties.

After the United States learned that China had successfully developed a nuclear bomb and used it in actual combat, it was panicked and could not care about any money, which was simply how much the Manhattan Project cost and Roosevelt would give it.

Although a large increase in investment in a short period of time could not make the United States achieve a rapid development in nuclear bomb technology, for China and the United States in 1944, technology has actually not become the key point to restrict the research and production of nuclear bombs in the two countries, and the key point is nuclear materials.

Now Roosevelt's sudden large-scale increase in capital investment has little impact on technology, but it can greatly speed up the production of nuclear materials, and this is the goal of the Americans, to speed up the collection of nuclear materials, test the first nuclear explosion in the shortest possible time, and come up with a nuclear bomb that can be used in actual combat in the shortest possible time.

The Americans invested so much in the Manhattan Project, it was originally scheduled to be able to carry out the first nuclear explosion in 1946, and at the same time, in the second half of 1946, they would be able to obtain the first nuclear bomb that could be used in actual combat, but under the influence of China's nuclear bombing of the Manhattan Project, the United States suddenly increased its investment in the Manhattan Project, and with the investment of a large number of manpower and material resources, the speed of uranium enrichment in the Manhattan Project is also expected to be greatly accelerated. The United States itself estimates that it will be at least four months to six months earlier than originally planned, that is, it is expected that it will be able to obtain a nuclear bomb that can be used in actual combat by the end of 1945 ahead of schedule.

Although it is said that it has been ahead of schedule, it is an indisputable fact that the progress of the Americans' nuclear bomb is greatly behind that of China, and under such circumstances, the Americans have to cautiously carry out a great strategic contraction in the Asian region.

For example, in the direction of the Philippines, in the past, China and the United States had fierce competition in the Philippines, and there was a big idea of starting a fight if they disagreed, but since China dropped a nuclear bomb, the United States has not engaged in any military conflict with China in the direction of the Philippines, but it is a diplomatic conflict, and it has been shouting for China to withdraw from the Philippines before.

In addition, in the South Pacific and the Central Pacific, the Americans are now turning a blind eye to China's frequent dispatch of small fleets and landing forces to seize a large number of islands.

Although most of the American military generals opposed this, the top level in the United States strictly ordered the Allied Pacific Command not to act rashly, and those who violated it were directly sent to a military tribunal without saying a word.

MacArthur had already received a secret telegram from the United States, demanding that the Allied forces in the Pacific avoid military conflict with China in all respects and suspend the seizure of islands near the South China Sea and the Philippine Sea. Suspend B29 bombers' plans to bomb the homeland.

At the same time, the main fleet of the navy was ordered to avoid entering the South China Sea, the East China Sea, and other coastal areas of China as much as possible, so as not to cause misunderstanding between the Chinese and US navies.

All these measures are aimed at avoiding military misunderstandings and conflicts with China, but this does not mean that the Americans will be indifferent to the overall contraction in Asia or even the expansion of China in the Pacific.

At this time, at a strategic meeting in October 1944, the Americans once again determined that the strategic focus of the early stage of the anti-fascist war was the Pacific, while the European part continued to delay, greatly disappointing Britain and Soviet Russia, which were waiting for the United States to launch a full-scale counterattack in Europe.

But after October 1944, what did the United States still have to care about Europe, the Chinese's nuclear bomb is like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Americans all the time, compared to the potential threat of China, Germany is a fart!

As the strategic center of gravity continues to remain in the Pacific Ocean, the United States has maintained restraint with China on the one hand, and on the other hand, has intensified its attacks on Australia, the island of New Guinea, the island of Java, and other places. Exercising restraint does not mean that the United States is like a turtle with a shrunken head, fully retreating and allowing China to expand in the Pacific.

As for the request to say that "I hope for a unilateral surrender to the United States, and at the same time ask the United States to help transport more than 2 million troops of the Chinese army back to the homeland," the Americans have temporarily shelved it, and it is impossible to say that the Americans do not have this idea, but there are too many restrictions here, one is that the United States and the United States have been fighting for several years, and it is impossible to say that they can turn enemies into friends in one day, and Roosevelt promised the American people that he would not agree. Not to mention that the United States also needs all-round help to fight against China's aggression. Moreover, the Americans also have to take into account China's pressure, and when it comes to conventional military forces, the Americans are not afraid, but they are afraid of nuclear bombs.

The so-called great power of the current nuclear bomb does not lie in the lethality of the nuclear bomb to military facilities and personnel; to be honest, if the nuclear bomb in this year kills the troops, a nuclear bomb will kill one or two divisions at most, and it can be said that the effect is very limited. Even the damage to the navy is very limited, and a huge task force can cover hundreds of nautical miles of sea after it is deployed, and the power of a nuclear bomb with a yield of tens of thousands of tons of TNT is really limited.

But the reason why nuclear bombs were so awesome in World War II! It is not in its lethal power to military personnel and equipment, but in its strategic bombing power, a nuclear bomb is dropped, and at least half of a city is destroyed, and this is not counting the power after nuclear radiation, only the power of simple explosions. If the two nuclear bombs go down, megacities such as Shanghai, New York, and Paris will also be finished.

In recent years, almost all countries have relied on cities for their industrial power, and after destroying dozens of major cities in your country one by one, more than 99% of the country's industrial power has basically been destroyed.

This power Chinese know, Americans can also predict it!

Although the Americans do not yet know whether China has ultra-long-range bombers capable of dropping nuclear bombs on the US mainland, they are also guarding against this, and the Americans are unwilling to test it unless absolutely necessary.

Based on the above reasons, the United States did not hesitate to reject the unilateral surrender of Ben.

After Ben's attempt to unilaterally surrender to the United States failed, there were only two options left waiting for him, one was to completely resist to the end, and all the jade was shattered. The other is to surrender to China!

I have to say that even after China's strategic bombing for half a year, and even the bombing of three atomic bombs, it has not been able to make those militants in China die, and there are still a lot of main war factions, such as the Minister of War, the Chief of Staff, the Chief of the Navy's Military Command Department, and others, but they are all stubborn main war faction elements, shouting that all the 100 million people will be broken!' The main peace faction includes the Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of the Admiralty, and others.

When the armies of the two countries fought fiercely on the island of Kyushu, it was said that "the main peace faction and the main battle faction in the country also engaged in a fierce confrontation."

However, Chen Jingyun naturally would not sit back and wait for the main peace faction in his home country to defeat the main battle faction and then surrender, and he had to put pressure on Yue himself.

And the most important thing is naturally the intimidation of nuclear bombs!

On 16 November, after resting for several days and using the small port of Dangjin to unload the main force of the Third Army and a large amount of heavy equipment and facilities, the Chinese Third Army began to move southward to launch a full-scale attack on Kyushu Island.

On November 18, when the Third Army swept through Kyushu Island, the Chinese State Military Commission held another press conference in Nanjing.

At the press conference, the spokesman of the State Military Commission read out a letter of advice, in which it said: "Ben is no longer capable of resisting the attack of the Chinese army, and for the sake of the safety, happiness and freedom of the people, he advises him to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise China will not only continue to intensify the offensive of conventional military forces, attack Kyushu Island, land on Honshu Island, and other actions, but also choose to carry out another nuclear bombing of Tokyo, and this time the target of the bombing will not deliberately avoid the Emperor's residence!"

In other words, if you don't surrender, I'll throw the next nuclear bomb on your Emperor's Palace!'

And the naked threat from the advice made the main war faction and the main peace faction in the country once again have a fierce dispute, the main peace faction naturally said to surrender, avoid damage to the emperor's divine body, protect the national body, etc., and the main war faction shouted out to give up Tokyo, let Hirohito run to the countryside for refuge, but continue to resist to the end......

I have to say that there are always these people in every country who have a reasonable surname or a non-rational surname, and there are people in every country who are in the main war faction and the main peace faction.
