"We are going to throw this treasure over the heads of the Chinese people, to make the Chinese people feel fear, and to make the whole world tremble!" Truman became more and more excited as he spoke, but Marshall did not expect to interrupt him:
"Your Excellency, there is still a problem. Our bombers cannot fly to the mainland of China at all. Our jets have a short range, and propeller bombers such as the Peace Guardian fly too slowly. They will be shot down before they get close. . And many people are firmly opposed to dropping this super bomb on our own soil."
Marshall¡¯s words stopped short, but Truman understood the meaning.
Many of these people are not American civilians who are still unaware of the existence of the atomic bomb, but the capital tycoons and powerful people. The radiation and power of the atomic bomb have been exaggerated. The tycoons in each state do not want their territory to be damaged in this way.
What¡¯s more important is that the shock and effect caused by such a super bomb falling on the enemy¡¯s territory is the greatest.
¡°It¡¯s nothing but a blockbuster.¡± Americans may not know this ancient Chinese saying, but they understand that this atomic bomb is their only chance to make a comeback.
The second atomic bomb being developed and produced will take at least a month. After understanding that there is only one atomic bomb for the time being, the Americans have been planning to do their best. Truman convened this enlarged meeting to discuss the best plan.
Even Asian and Australian islands such as Guam and Fiji were attacked by the Chinese fleet and were in crisis. The Americans were not in a hurry to reveal the atomic bomb.
It may be easier to throw it to the mainland, but Americans are collectively unwilling to do so. They all hoped to give the Chinese people a fatal blow, and finally decided to throw them to the Chinese mainland.
But as Marshall said, American bombers have no chance of winning against Chinese jet fighters and missiles. What makes people vomit blood in particular is that China's radar seems to be very powerful. There have not been many successful examples of American fighter planes planning to attack China's mainland. The Americans will never dare to place their only talisman on the blind spot of the Chinese radar.
"There are only two ways to break through the Chinese radar system. One is speed.
Ballistic missiles are so fast that no one can intercept them, although they can also carry nuclear bombs. But the longest range of our missiles is now less than 500 kilometers. And I'm afraid it won't be able to carry this atomic bomb. In addition, whether the automatic detonation method is appropriate is also a problem.
If we want to develop missiles with a larger range and greater carrying capacity, or if we want to miniaturize nuclear bombs, we will need more time. I'm afraid it won't be possible in a short time. In the end, we had to rely on jet fighters. "
Marshall first vetoed the plan for missiles to carry nuclear warheads that some people superstitiously touted.
The first missile equipped with a nuclear warhead in future generations will also be postponed to the 1950s. At this time, there are a lot of obstacles ahead of American missile technology and nuclear bomb technology. They simply don't have the time.
"However, the probability of our jet fighters breaking through the Chinese radar network is very low, unless we rely on the second point, which is suddenness.
I¡¯m afraid this can only be done with a close-range raid. Even if we flew from Guam to the sky over China, we would definitely have been discovered by the Chinese. And some of the hidden areas we control in Eurasia are too far away from China's most prosperous coastline cities. "
The Americans have already targeted the coastal cities of China with nuclear bombs.
Originally, someone proposed bombing Zhongzhou, the capital of China, but they were forced to give up because it was too far into the interior of China and could easily be intercepted. The most prosperous cities in modern China were basically along the coast. The plan to bomb Peiping and Guangzhou was also abandoned because the Bohai Bay and Taiwan were blocking it and the risk was too great. In the end, the Americans' first priority was Shanghai, known as the "First City in the Far East", so that it would be easier to teach China a painful lesson.
"The base in Guam is under attack, and now our aircraft carrier formation cannot reach the waters west of Guam at all. Moreover, our treasure weighs nearly nine thousand pounds, and ordinary fighter planes cannot carry it and fly that far. Use the possibility of fighter jets taking off from the aircraft carrier for bombing It's also very low." Marshall again rejected the attack from the aircraft carrier.
"Can't we break through that damn island chain?" Truman asked annoyed.
As the Chinese warships become more and more powerful, an island chain is gradually built to protect the prosperous areas along the Chinese coast, taking advantage of the terrain of the Kuril Islands, Japan, Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan and the Philippines. The Americans' current offensive from the Pacific Ocean will not threaten China's mainland unless it breaks through this island chain.
This island chain blockade, which was used by the United States to strangle the Chinese Navy in later generations, is now the Americans' turn to have a headache.
"We still have a chance!" Marshall said as he clicked on Japan on the map.Beijing is a land that the world has almost forgotten.

After night falls, there are still not many flashing lights in the huge refugee camp built on the ruins of Tokyo, Japan. The lack of supplies has made lamp oil in short supply, not to mention electric lights. Except for the U.S. military camps stationed there, many places are covered in darkness at night.
On moonlit nights, lights can be saved in many places, and it also provides convenience for some outdoor activities.
On the night of August 13th, with the bright moon hanging high, a huge black shadow emerged from the water with countless white waves, like a sea monster that had just climbed out of the bottom of the sea.
Not long after, waves rolled up again, and the back of another huge man-made sea monster emerged from the sea again.
"Don't worry! The Chinese won't come." Major Michael of the Tokyo garrison disapprovingly comforted Major Goering, who had just kayaked off the submarine.
Americans are also aware of China¡¯s sinister intentions and want to use the burden of nearly a million refugees here to consume them. They are accustomed to China¡¯s selective forgetfulness. Even with the headache of this big burden, Americans are choosing to gradually forget it.
After the Battle of Chicago, when the Chinese army was devastatingly conquering cities and territories in the United States, the American military camps here were also constantly shrinking. In the end, less than one brigade remained here, divided into three divisions to maintain basic security.
But now it seems that this place has become the closest place where the United States can attack the Chinese mainland, and the former springboard has finally come into play.
The Americans relied on airplanes and submarines to transport the first nuclear bomb and two advanced jet bombers to the vicinity of Tokyo, Japan, in the shortest possible time.
Although there are C47 transport aircraft and a few piston fighter jets parked at Tokyo's still crude Haneda Airport, if jet fighters or bombers come too, they will soon be bombed and intercepted by China, which may threaten China's mainland. The threat is nipped in the bud.
After doing this a few times, Americans learned the lesson. This time, in order to prevent accidents in the nuclear bomb dropping operation, even the jet bombers were disassembled and transported.
The concealment of the submarine worked. Until all the goods were transported to their destination, the Chinese seemed not to notice.
"These tents belong to the Japanese who gathered in our military camp. In their eyes, our garbage is good stuff and can feed many people." A US military camp is set up at the still desolate and semi-abandoned Haneda Airport. Lieutenant Colonel Clark from the military camp explained to Colonel Paul who was commanding the mission, "We use these tents as cover. In the area we control, those simple tents can block all Chinese prying eyes!"
Colonel Paul walked around in a circle and nodded slightly.
It looks like a number of dilapidated tents from the outside, but it opens into a huge space inside. The jet fighters that have been transported are being assembled nervously inside, and the super bomb is in another separate tent not far away. Under strict supervision.
After exiting the tent, there is an abandoned runway at Haneda Airport in front of them. The runway that has been secretly repaired can definitely bear the takeoff of this latest American jet bomber.
The American B45 Tornado's maximum speed of 900 kilometers per hour is obviously not very satisfactory. After seeing the appearance of the Chinese bomber, the Americans quickly copied the swept-wing B47. Although they were not able to mass-produce it, they spared no expense to build it. The prototype machine can be used.
The Americans, who had been preparing for the dropping of nuclear bombs for a long time, went to great lengths to produce and modify two bombers specifically to drop the first nuclear bomb at any cost, and used three submarines to deliver them respectively.
¡¡
"So far, everything is going well with the Silver Plate Plan!" When the first b47 prototype aircraft was equipped and preliminary tests were completed, the news of the good news reached Washington.
¡°Cooperating with some interference caused by Americans detonating other places, only one bomber is enough for this bombing mission of dropping atomic bombs. There is no problem in the preliminary test. It only needs another rigorous test to increase the insurance factor, and the throwing plan will be launched.
"Very good!" Truman, who was always paying attention, said with satisfaction, "It is now 23:23 on the evening of the 14th, and at 2 o'clock tomorrow morning, the third phase of the Silver Plate Plan officially begins! Let the Chinese people tremble in the flames of hell! "
¡¡
"Very good! It's finally completed!" An hour later, Meng Xiang, who was also paying attention to the fate of the first atomic bomb in the United States, nodded with satisfaction and ordered decisively, "Since the second phase of Plan A has been successfully completed, then the third phase The stage starts immediately!"
