- "It should not be called a naughty boy, but a baby on which we place our hopes!" Truman said excitedly, looking at the huge shell that had just arrived in Oak Ridge.
At this time, he no longer counts on the unexpected victory of the US military. Everything here is the hope of changing the destiny of the United States.
"Ahem, whether it's a boy or a baby, we all need time for him to truly grow up!" Groves, who had just been promoted to lieutenant general, reminded tactfully from the side.
"The Chinese are coming, but we still have a lot of experiments to do, but we don't have enough time, and we don't have enough materials! Damn it, can't you be more diligent and get everything we need before the Chinese do? Come back like this?" Edward Taylor next to him couldn't help complaining.
¡°Compared to the Jewish father of the atomic bomb, Oppenheimer, the Hungarian father of the hydrogen bomb was not good at dealing with people. Truman was embarrassed when he started talking about it.
Since the Americans launched the Manhattan Project, in addition to the original name of Colonel Marshall¡¯s office in Manhattan, other laboratories and production plants have been distributed in many places as the scale of the project continues to expand.
Hanford, Washington State, in the northwest corner of the United States, is where the plutonium material production factory for the "Fat Man" plutonium bomb that landed on Nagasaki was located. As a result, the Chinese invaded early. Although some of the plutonium was transferred, only Not enough for partial testing, but not even a single plutonium bomb.
The controllable chain reaction experimental nuclear reactor completed under Fermi's guidance was at the University of Chicago, but it also fell into the hands of China.
??The golden bear of the University of California, Berkeley, who was responsible for part of the Manhattan Project with its strong engineering and scientific capabilities. Together with Stanford University, they all became occupied by China due to the fall of California as a whole.
The U.S. military in the west was defeated too quickly. Even though most of the scientific research personnel had withdrawn early, a large number of experimental equipment and equipment were left to the Chinese people who were famous for scraping the ground and had been widely known to the world.
As one of the cores of Manhattan, the Los Alamos Nuclear Weapons Laboratory, a secret military zone built in a small town on the Pajalido Plateau in New Mexico, has always been unknown to outsiders. This allowed Americans to take chances.
At that time, the Chinese North American West Route Army crossed the Colorado River after capturing Salt Lake City. Their march direction was with a detachment of the Central Route Army. Capture Denver, the capital of Colorado. The Southern Route Army only captured several border towns in New Mexico. Just attack eastward. No one cares about the small towns in the plateau and desert areas, let alone the top-secret "Los Salamos".
Some experiments are at a critical juncture, and many scientists are unwilling to evacuate. Even scientists and engineers who evacuated from California and other places hope to seize the time to make up for the interrupted experiments. Moved again. We don¡¯t know when it will be rescheduled. They are all a group of scientific lunatics who race against time.
Washington saw that there were large armies in the north and south to block the Chinese army's surprise attack. It also slowed down the evacuation here.
But who would have thought that overnight, this place would be surrounded and captured by Chinese airborne troops.
With the support of the sub-base, the tight defense here was attacked and conquered from the inside by the Chinese special forces. And the little army that maintained law and order was no match for the large number of Chinese airborne troops that fell from the sky. Even some of the Americans' self-destruction devices were destroyed in advance by clone spies.
With only a small amount of bloodshed, an airborne brigade completely took over Los Alamos. A large number of scientists and engineers, including Oppenheimer, who was presiding over the experiment, became prisoners of the Chinese army.
What happened just now made Americans very angry. Truman even personally went to Oak Ridge, another core area of ??Manhattan. One was to implement the Oak Ridge evacuation plan as soon as possible, and the other was to take a look at the ongoing atomic bomb production plan.
This is Truman¡¯s last hope.
If it were not for the support of the atomic bomb, the Americans would have surrendered long ago. Why would they give in step by step? It is so embarrassing.
Truman was also thrown into the trench in disgrace because he strongly advocated the delaying tactic of not giving in step by step and hoped to use the atomic bomb to make a final comeback instead of defeating the enemy. He was even labeled as the most cowardly president by the American people and urged to replace him with a more powerful one. Tough new president.
After Roosevelt's death, all the conflicts caused by China's invasion of the United States were focused on Truman.
Truman, who already felt that he was in dire straits, was counting on the atomic bomb that was taking shape to come back. When he heard the news about Los Alamos, he was afraid that there was also a problem in Oak Ridge, so he immediately flew to check.
"Evacuate? Impossible!" After hearing Truman's order, Groves couldn't say anything, but he temporarily took charge of the experiment in place of the captured Oppenheimer.Taylor, who was in the process, yelled like a cat whose tail was stepped on,
"As soon as we evacuate, everything will be disrupted. A lot of things will have to be started from scratch. And these equipment that cost 900 million US dollars, we don't know how long it will take to get them operational again. Let's talk about where we are going to evacuate. ? There is no safe place in the entire United States! Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know. The Chinese army has already reached the vicinity of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. The Gulf of Mexico is no longer safe. The navy on the other side of the Atlantic has suffered a defeat. Maybe what happened? At that time, Chinese warships arrived in New York, and I heard that Washington was preparing to establish a refuge command post in the Appalachian Mountains."
The current situation in the United States has caused many people to listen to all the rumors that may be alarming in panic. Even Taylor heard a lot of them, and at this time, he poured them out from his mouth.
"Now we just wait for God to open the door for us, and we can finish this naughty boy. Can't you even buy this little time? When did our army become so weak?" Taylor's merciless venomous tongue made Truman's face became darker and darker, but those words still cheered him up.
"How long will it take to complete?" Truman asked.
"No more than a month at most!" Taylor quickly replied, "We are already doing the final debugging!"
Truman frowned upon hearing this. According to the current speed of the Chinese army's attack, it may be difficult to say whether Washington can be saved in a month.
"Can it be faster?" Truman asked again and looked at Lieutenant General Groves.
"If some final testing steps are omitted, it will be shorter. If there is more support, it will take about a week. We can focus on completing the manufacturing of the first one." Groves pondered for a moment and said resolutely.
¡°No better than scientists who pursue perfection, he knows the situation on the front line better than he knows that the current situation in the United States is very bad.
No one can guarantee how long the United States can hold on, and no one can even guarantee that the Chinese army will not attack Oak Ridge soon. Time is the most important factor in determining any situation.
"A week?" Truman pondered for a moment, then said decisively, "No problem! Even if the city of Nashville is destroyed, I can give you a week."
The Chinese North American Central Army had just crossed the Ohio River and captured Louisville not long ago. No matter how fast they were, it would still take a lot of time to advance to Oak Ridge. Even if they reached the Cumberland Mountains, the American army could delay for some time.
Truman was not sure about a month, but a week was still no problem.
But what Truman was worried about was not the Chinese army, but the Chinese airborne troops and bombers.
The reason why the Chinese army attacked so quickly was that, in addition to the intimidation of the Kirov airships and the tyranny of the armored forces, it was also crucial for the Chinese bomber group to bomb those key locations and paralyze the normal operation of the United States.
The Chinese people seem to be very familiar with the various secret bases of the Americans, and bombings and airborne operations have hit the key points one after another.
Those confidential airports and warehouses are secondary, and even some more confidential areas have been bombed or directly occupied by Chinese airborne troops. Research bases for tanks, fighter planes and other secrets in various places were successively occupied in advance, leaving the Americans with few opportunities to retreat and destroy them.
The Americans were already alert, especially the occupation of the Los Alamos laboratory, which made the Americans no longer dare to take chances, so they made a series of evacuation plans. Now that Oak Ridge is still going to hold on, the air defense problem must be solved.
"We will deploy more of the latest anti-aircraft missiles and will never be disturbed by Chinese bombers and airborne troops." Truman fiercely diverted all the anti-aircraft missiles that were going to be sent to the front line and to protect key areas such as New York and Washington to protect his final bet. convoy.
¡¡
Time flies, and the American frontline is still a white flag.
The Huaxia still managed to overcome all obstacles and arrived at the east coast of the United States.
" Newfoundland, which was controlled by the Umbrella Company when it exchanged land with the British warships, became the temporary foothold of the Huaxia.
After a short rest, the Huaxia led the fleet to Boston.
The so-called new shore-to-ship missiles of the Americans were just a joke in front of the sub-base on the Huaxia. The small number of shore-to-ship missiles were not destroyed until they were destroyed.
On the contrary, after Sardor on the Huaxia bombed more than twenty bombs in Boston, the Bostonians raised the white flag.
As the Huaxia headed south and approached New York, New Yorkers fled one after another. The once prosperous New York City was mostly empty in a short period of time.
"Hahaha, we finally succeeded!" Du ?The doorman didn't worry about this, but laughed to the sky in the office.
A week has passed, and the United States' first atomic bomb "baby" has been born. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
