Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

A month later, the U.S. military suffered a big loss at the beginning of the fifth battle. As a result, Truman himself was thinking about the atomic bomb.

"We can't be defeated by conventional weapons on the battlefield, and the Americans may be a little confused. However, we are not afraid of jumping over the wall." The Prime Minister stood up, "But we need to do something. Go forward, you are the only one guarding this place today. Now go to the Soviet ambassador immediately."

"...The chairman is going to write an article." These were the last words the Prime Minister said before he left.

Chapter 149, I Was Spoiled

"Fuck, my dear Davarish, this stuff is real!"

On the evening of May 5, Tang Hua analyzed the information that nine U.S. nuclear bombs would be in place in Okinawa (soon to be), and the Prime Minister summoned the Soviet ambassador to China Luo Shen overnight.The prime minister's confident expression frightened Luo Shen. Besides, as the prime minister of a big country, the information he said must have been verified repeatedly.

Ambassador Luo Shen immediately reported the matter to Moscow by encrypted telegram.After this telegram passed, all the intelligence systems available in the Soviet Union immediately began to operate at high speed.A secret telegram was sent from Beijing to Moscow, and another secret telegram was sent from Moscow to Dalian. A reconnaissance plane converted from a long-range transport plane took off from Dalian’s airport and flew close to the Ryukyu Islands. The Ryukyu Islands flew south for a certain distance before turning back and landing at the airport in Shanghai.

Seven hours later, the KGB and reconnaissance planes sent back information almost at the same time, unanimously confirming that the U.S. military is ready to use nuclear facilities/nuclear weapons in Okinawa.

Now, it is Moscow's turn to be more anxious than Beijing.The chairman and the prime minister attach great importance to the threat of nuclear weapons from the United States, but they will not panic. Now they are drafting the manuscript all night and considering the words.In Moscow, where it was getting dark, Stalin sent people to blow up the members of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet from their villas one by one, and held an emergency meeting.

Since China and the Soviet Union signed the "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance", the two countries are actually in a state of alliance.This means that if China is attacked by the United States, the Soviet Union should retaliate against the United States.

The Soviet Union fought back against the United States, which would definitely mean a world war.

Besides, does the Soviet Union really have the capability of reciprocal nuclear strikes now?

— Actually not.

The first atomic bomb tested in August 1949 was an experimental fission bomb on a pylon.From the No. 8 bomb to the present, the Soviet Union has not conducted a second nuclear test for more than a year.

Now, the Soviet Union's second atomic bomb, a fission bomb with a new configuration that can be air-dropped in actual combat, has just been manufactured and is ready for a surface test explosion.The third atomic bomb is in the workshop, and most of the production has been completed. Only after the No. 2 bomb is successfully tested, it will be assembled and shipped, and then carried by a bomber for air explosion tests.

At this time, if the United States uses nuclear weapons...if it is just to bomb Wonsan in Pyongyang, it may be tolerated. What the Soviet Union and North Korea signed is not an alliance and mutual assistance treaty, but the "Soviet-Korean Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance", not an alliance.But if Truman dropped an atomic bomb on northeast China, would the Soviet Union fight back or not?

Give the order to fight back, there are no atomic bombs.Ordering not to fight back--in fact, it is the same, it is tantamount to telling the world that the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons are still in the stage of deceit.

Moreover, there is another serious consequence of unequal retaliation after eating a nuclear bomb, that is, the prestige of the Soviet Union in its own camp.

The meeting of the Supreme Soviet didn’t last long. As soon as various conditions and the status quo were laid out, everyone found that there was only one way out—it was the plan proposed by Premier Zhou when he met with Ambassador Luo Shen and reminded the United States of the readiness of nuclear weapons:

Get it out there and let the world know.

"We express serious concern over the deployment of nine combat-ready nuclear weapons by the United States in Okinawa, as well as B-9 bombers capable of carrying out nuclear strike missions."

"The Soviet Union has always held a very restrained attitude towards nuclear war. The Soviet Union has always believed that the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons against other countries is not only the most serious act of war, but also a threat to world peace and the earth on which mankind depends."

"The Soviet air force in the Far East will expand its air defense alert and patrol area, and pay special attention to the US B-29 and B-36 bombers that can carry and deliver nuclear weapons from Okinawa."

……

"People's Central Broadcasting Station……"

"Today, the danger of world war and the threat to China comes primarily from militants in the United States."

"We have an old saying, millet plus rifles. The United States is airplanes plus atomic bombs. However, if the United States, which has planes and atomic bombs, launches a war of aggression against China, then China, which has millet plus rifles, will definitely win."

"America's atomic blackmail cannot frighten the Chinese people. my country has a population of 960 million and an area of ​​[-] million square kilometers. The United States' atomic bombs, not to mention the nine Mark IVs in Okinawa, even use all their nuclear weapons , and the Chinese cannot be wiped out. If the United States thinks that the atomic bomb is not powerful enough, they will also take out the hydrogen bomb on Enniwetok Island and drop it on China. It will penetrate the earth and blow up the earth. As far as the solar system is concerned , is still a big event, but it’s nothing to the entire universe.”

"...people all over the world will support us. As a result of the First World War, the tsar, landlords and capitalists were wiped out in Russia. As a result of the Second World War, Chiang Kai-shek and the landlords were overthrown in China, and Eastern European countries and Some Asian countries have also been liberated. If the United States launches a third world war, let’s say it will last eight or ten years, the result will be that the ruling classes of the United States, Britain and other accomplice countries will be wiped out. Some places will become countries led by the Communist Party.”

"The result of the world war is not in favor of the militants, but in the interests of the Communist Party and the revolutionary people of the world. If they don't engage in war, they can still exist on the earth for a while. The sooner they start the war, the sooner they will The sooner it will be wiped out on the earth."

……

Now Tang Hua was sitting at home, and when he heard the announcer reading the chairman's manuscript on the radio, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

That's it, you threatened to use the atomic bomb, and I publicly said that you would use the atomic bomb, what do you want?

Whether nuclear blackmail can be successfully blackmailed depends on the deterrence of the user.Your level of deterrence is not as high as that of your opponent. If the opponent does not follow your tricks, then this trick will not work.

A county judge who was born as a salesman took the car of Roosevelt's campaign team to become the vice president and then the president of the United States.

Tomorrow, the full text of the chairman's speech should be published in People's Day and major newspapers.You can buy a few more copies of this day's newspaper for collection.

Last night, after the chairman's first draft was written, he showed it to the prime minister, who then asked Tang Hua if he had any comments. Then Tang Hua proposed to reveal the old background of the United States, so he added "Enniwetok" to the speech. The island's hydrogen bomb should also be taken out" this sentence.

Since it is a broadcast, it must be released publicly.A few hours later, the CIA obtained the full-text transcript and translation of the broadcast written by the Chairman on China Central People's Broadcasting Station from Taiwan's Special Intelligence Technology Office.

"Send the full text back to Washington." The head of the CIA's Far East Intelligence Bureau carefully read the broadcast script twice and shook his head.He is just an intelligence leader, not a decision-maker in Washington. He only needs to do a good job in the work of intelligence collection, identification and transmission.But the director can also see that the wording of this broadcast draft is really not ordinary hardcore, and it is estimated that someone in Washington will have a headache.

However, after reading the broadcast draft twice, the Director of the Far East Bureau still didn't understand what the "hydrogen bomb" in the broadcast draft was, and where is Enniwetok Island?

……

Washington, May 5.

Today, Truman and Acheson are very overwhelmed by the greetings, inquiries, questions, and interrogations from all over the world and people from all walks of life.

First, the British Foreign Secretary asked whether this matter was true, said "this matter is absolutely impossible", and left.Then the British Prime Minister personally sent a telegram, still "this matter must not be done."

Then Britain, Australia, Canada... came to ask.

And then, now that the Senate is about to meet, let President Truman tell the gentlemen in the Senate what is Tema's surprise, ah, no, what is Tema's nuclear blackmail.

And it all starts in early April.

MacArthur continued to demand preparations for nuclear strikes against North Korea and China. Finally, the U.S. military finally made some preparations and shipped nine MK9 nuclear bomb casings to Okinawa.Halfway through the shipment, MacArthur was dismissed, and the "Lyra" first turned around and returned to Guam. After walking for two days, the Joint Chiefs of Staff issued a new order to make the "Lyra" turn around again and unload in Japan.In short, be fully prepared and be prepared.

On May 5, several members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff urgently asked to see the president.When Truman walked into the conference room, the first thing he saw was the livid cheeks and straight eyes of the US Air Force Chief of Staff Hoyt Vandenberg.

Vandenberg also lost face at this time, and spoke bluntly about what happened in the North Plain of the Han River north of Seoul in the past 24 hours.The Chinese army suddenly had anti-aircraft missiles, and almost all U.S. aircraft that tried to attack the Chinese army were slaughtered, and very few escaped.Vandenberg told Truman in more direct words that the two surface-to-air missile projects that the U.S. Air Force is advancing, the hit rate and responsiveness to air targets are far from the level of the missiles in the hands of the Chinese army— - Besides, the U.S. Air Force's anti-aircraft missile project now only has design indicators on paper.

A disastrous day for the U.S. Air Force, and a disastrous day for the U.S. Army.Vandenberg said that US aircraft will not and cannot enter areas where Chinese air defense missiles have been deployed.Without air support, the U.S. Army is likely to suffer a disastrous defeat on the ground like the Battle of Qingchuan River!

The only viable way to save the impending collapse on the battlefield is the use of nuclear weapons.

As Truman listened to the report of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the more he listened, the more restless he became.Under the dominance of this sentiment, Truman promised to immediately assemble nuclear weapons in Okinawa and make them available for delivery at any time.

……

Recalling the decision nine days ago, Truman became anxious again.

When the transport ship carrying the core of the nuclear warhead was still on the way, and there were still 2 days' voyage away from Okinawa, this news... leaked? !

There is a knock on the door. "Please come in."

CIA Director Walter Smith walked in. "Mr. President, I think you need to see this."

Truman took the letter.

Smith: "This is Mao's public speech on their national radio station. If you are short on time, you can directly read the sentence I underlined in red pen."
