Chapter 926: Americans' Shock
readx; The press conference was not very long, Chen Jingyun left after a short speech earlier, and the spokesman of the State Military Commission continued to preside over the press conference, but then without Chen Jingyun present, those reporters were not polite, and they all asked a lot of questions, trying to understand what the super bomb in Chen Jingyun's mouth was. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, there was no need for China to hold a special press conference, and the news would have spread all over the world in a short period of time, because at noon on the same day, the news of China's nuclear bombing of Tokyo was also immediately spread throughout the world, because at noon on the same day, it said that "Ben's political axe was to speak to the outside world, and seriously condemned China's inhumane bombing of Tokyo, because China's nuclear bombing of Ben was the last trace of conscience that was divorced from the surname, and directly portrayed Chen Jingyun as the murderer of the Tokyo massacre." In fact, the damage caused by the nuclear bombing of Tokyo this time was less than that caused by the previous bombing of Tokyo by incendiary bombings.
Although China did not clearly disclose the specific information of the nuclear bomb, but the high-level leaders of various countries in World War II are actually no strangers to the nuclear bomb, not only China and the United States have research, including Ben, Germany, Britain and even Soviet Russia have relevant research, but except for China and the United States, the nuclear bomb research effect of other countries is very small, and the possibility of successful research and development is almost the same. On the American side, because their nuclear physics scientists were hunted in a planned way from China a few years ago, by the time they reacted, a lot of nuclear physics people had already died, and the death of a large number of nuclear physics experts had delayed the development of nuclear bombs in the United States a lot, and so far the United States has not been able to complete the explosion test of the first nuclear bomb, let alone mass production.
According to the United States' own projections, the Manhattan Project would be able to conduct its first nuclear explosion test in early 1946, and it was expected that the atomic bomb would be ready for combat in the third quarter of 1946.
Compared with China, the Americans' nuclear bomb program has lagged behind China for many years, and now China is moving towards mass production and miniaturization of nuclear bombs. At the same time, it is also conducting research on nuclear fusion bombs, which are commonly referred to as hydrogen bombs, and the explosion power of hydrogen bombs using nuclear fusion explosion mode is enough to increase by ten or even more than 100 times compared with atomic bombs using nuclear fission explosion.
And on the night after the Chinese bombing of Tokyo, an emergency meeting was held on the American side.
Admiral Marshall said: "Based on the information released by the Chinese at the press conference, the information transmitted by our intelligence officers in Tokyo, and the statement of the "Motomasake", we can clearly determine that the bomb dropped by the Chinese in Tokyo this morning is an atomic bomb!" ”
"How is this possible, how can they develop an atomic bomb faster than we can with their capabilities?" One of the senators below expressed great shock at this.
"This is not impossible, according to the intelligence we have been collecting, China's nuclear physics research has been in the twenties, although they have never made it public, but their nuclear physics department of Southeast University is the world's leading nuclear physics school, and so far their nuclear physics department has refused to accept foreign students, which shows that their research in nuclear physics has been at the forefront of the world. Moreover, many nuclear physics scientists in China have been highly recognized by the scientific community, and with such a scientific research foundation, if the Chinese are determined to make great efforts, it is not impossible to develop nuclear bombs! The other one apparently knew better.
"And in the early days of the war, our agents were already aware that China was working on a nuclear bomb, but we never knew the progress of their research! However, judging by the bombing of Tokyo by the Chinese today, there is no doubt that their nuclear bomb development is already in front of us and the Germans! ”
The Germans' nuclear bomb project was also carried out relatively early, but the Germans' nuclear bomb research and development compared with China's nuclear bomb project and the Manhattan project of the United States is still a big gap, one of the most important points is that the Germans cannot obtain enough nuclear bomb raw materials, that is, uranium ore, and the war that the Germans are now waging has consumed a lot of their resources and energy, and there is no additional resources and energy to carry out expensive nuclear bomb research and development.
You must know that China's entire nuclear bomb project has cost nearly 5 billion Chinese yuan, most of which is for the production of the most important part of the nuclear bomb project, that is, the refining and enrichment of uranium. At the same time, in order to meet the large amount of electricity consumed to enrich uranium, China's nuclear bomb project has built a large number of hydroelectric power stations or thermal power stations, so as to meet the huge power consumption required in the nuclear bomb project.
The cost of the Americans is also huge, and the cost of nearly two billion dollars has made the United States, a giant country, feel the pressure.
Moreover, in the nuclear bomb project, only the monetary cost is secondary, the key is to spend a huge amount of electrical energy and great technical difficulty, that is, this is not something that can be done with money.
At this time, Roosevelt looked at General Groves of the US Army Corps of Engineers: "General, now that the Chinese have developed an atomic bomb, when will our nuclear bomb be developed?" ”
General Groves, who is the person in charge of the Manhattan project in the United States, frowned and said: "According to our progress, if everything goes well, we will not be able to complete the assembly of the first nuclear bomb until the beginning of the next year at the earliest!" ”
Roosevelt said, "Can't you speed it up?" We cannot Chinese go ahead of us in the field of nuclear bombs, in that case it will be a disaster for our country! ”
General Groves smiled bitterly: "This is very difficult, to complete the assembly of nuclear bombs, the most important thing is to enrich uranium refining, and according to the scale and output of the enriched uranium projects that we have built now and are under construction, it will not be until February 1946 at the earliest to be able to collect enough nuclear bomb raw materials!" ”
Roosevelt didn't care about this, but changed his words: "Then you mean that as long as there are more projects and funds, then your speed can be accelerated, right?" ”
Groves did not expect Roosevelt to say this, because now the United States' investment in the Manhattan project is very large, China's total investment in the development of nuclear bombs over the years is only 5 billion Chinese dollars, equivalent to about 2.5 billion US dollars, and half of this cost is China's nuclear bomb research and development successfully used to produce nuclear bombs in large quantities, and the simple development of nuclear bombs is until the first experimental surname of the Chinese Chinese phonetic package is called the nuclear explosion, and China's nuclear bomb project cost is actually less than one billion US dollars.
The United States has invested nearly $2 billion in the past few years in a vain attempt to catch up with China's research and development in just three or four years, which has been carried out decades ahead of schedule, which shows that Roosevelt's determination is still very large.
"I have increased the budget for the Manhattan project again, you are not more worried about the financial general, now what you need to do is to build more factories as soon as possible, and strive to develop nuclear bombs faster!"
After saying this, Roosevelt turned his attention to several other generals, including Marshall: "Now that the Chinese have developed a nuclear bomb, this has added many unnecessary surprises to our relations with China, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, from now on the military conflict in the Pacific region and on the Chinese side will be completely stopped!" At least we have to maintain a peaceful relationship with China until we develop a nuclear bomb! ”
It has to be said that the impact of the nuclear bomb dropped by the Chinese in Tokyo is huge, and almost all the newspapers in the world are reporting that China has developed and used a super bomb in Tokyo, which is far beyond human imagination, and some people even call it the "devil's bomb"
After Chen Jingyun shocked the world with a nuclear bomb, he did not forget to take advantage of the fire to once again expound on the necessity of reading power and freedom for the Asian people, claiming that the existence of colonies is a humiliation to human civilization.
The United States, which has always had the same stance as China on the colonial issue, also issued a statement: The colonial system in the world must be broken.
Although this is the position of the Americans, it is difficult not to imagine that the Americans deliberately echoed China's claims, even though it was not, in the days that China dropped its nuclear bomb on Tokyo.
China and the United States share common interests and positions on the colonial issue, and this has been proven over the past many years. It can be said that China and the United States have endless contradictions and conflicts, but their positions on the colonial issue are still very identical.
That's all the colonies of the world have to read! Whoever dares to prevent these colonies from entering these areas and scavenging resources from these regions for industrial products is an enemy of both China and the United States!
That's why Chen Jingyun and Roosevelt tirelessly said over and over again: The reading power and freedom of the Asian people are inviolable, and the reading power and freedom of the African people are inviolable!
And if France, Britain, the Netherlands, and other countries want to oppose it, then they are standing on the opposite side of the reunification of China and the United States, and this is very terrifying, and they even said, "China and the United States have not been able to reach a real military alliance, and if Britain, France, the Netherlands, and other countries insist on maintaining the colonial system, Chen Jingyun and Roosevelt will have to join hands to completely wipe out the old Europe."
And it is precisely because of the joint pressure of China and the United States that European countries such as Britain and the Netherlands in exile, French and Belgian in exile have successively promised to give these colonies a post-war status, such as the United Kingdom, the Indonesian archipelago and the African continent.
Although China and the United States have maintained a unified position in the colonies, they still have many contradictions, and the contradictions between the interests of the two sides in the South Pacific are almost irreconcilable.
In addition to further accelerating the capture of the islands in the South Pacific, China has also begun to venture into long-distance raids, and has begun to capture some islands outside the first island chain that are still under the control of the Chinese military.
