    USA, Washington, White House

    Although it was already late at night, Secretary of State Cordell Hull came to the door of the Oval Office holding a folder.

    Looking at the orange light shining from the crack of the door, he coughed lightly and then knocked on the door.

    "Come in. Cordell!" The kind voice of the "giant in the wheelchair" came from the door.

    Secretary Cordell Hull Anderson pushed open the door, walked in, closed the door, and then stood silently in front of President Roosevelt's desk. He remained silent for a long time, as if he was organizing his words, or as if he wanted to talk about something.  What he saw was beyond his ability to think.

    "Why don't you speak? Is there something embarrassing? Cordell."

    Franklin Roosevelt, the great leader of the United States and the greatest ray of hope for contemporary mankind, was lame but physically strong. Wearing gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, he looked up from the complicated official documents and said with a smile, "  Well, Cordell, what news do you bring me this time?"

    "Mr. President," Hull said as carefully as possible, " Regarding the previous outbreak of an unknown severe plague within the Asian Expeditionary Fleet, based on the research of the medical expert team we previously sent to Guam, there is now preliminary information.  Some features"

    "The Asia Expedition Fleet in Guam?" President Roosevelt was slightly startled when he heard this, then took off his glasses from the bridge of his nose and said with a serious expression: "Can you tell me carefully what is going on? I hope it's a good one.  information."

    ¡ª¡ªSince the tragic situation of the officers and soldiers of the U.S. Asia Expeditionary Fleet in Guam was revealed by the news media and rumors of "the Black Death broke out in Nagasaki, Japan" spread everywhere, the number of U.S. merchant ships that still dare to run the Pacific route has decreased sharply, making the last two  U.S-Japanese trade was nearly cut off in May.  And due to the activity of those Chinese Bolsheviks, who occupied Shanghai, China¡¯s largest foreign trade port, this year¡¯s Sino-US trade has basically come to an end

    Although in terms of the current overall economic size of the United States, this transaction volume is just a drop in the bucket.  However, for American society, which has not yet completely escaped the impact of the Great Depression, the rapid shrinkage of the Far East import and export market is still a major blow to national confidence.

    What¡¯s even worse is.  It was only 1935. The vast majority of Americans still had fresh memories of the 1918 "Spanish Flu" that claimed millions of lives in the United States, and even changed their minds after hearing about it.  After the terrible "epidemic" in Guam, without waiting for the federal government to take countermeasures, the West Coast states voluntarily organized quarantine agencies at the ports to isolate and detain passengers arriving from Asia.  Anyone with a headache or fever will be thrown into a concentration camp in the desert!

    ¡ª¡ªNo matter how you look at it, this approach is so simple and crude that it caused an uproar in the public opinion circle for a while.  Coupled with the repeated failures in the situation on the Chinese battlefield, Britain, France, the United States, and Japan were all quarreling So many messy things were piled together, making President Roosevelt's life very difficult these days.  It's almost to the point of being exhausted.

    Therefore, if this strange and terrifying "unknown plague" can be solved, the pressure on President Roosevelt's shoulders can be alleviated a lot.

    ¡ª¡ªAfter all, China¡¯s Red Revolution is far away, and winning or losing will not hurt the bones. But the haze of a new round of great plague The American people, who were tortured by the Great Depression just a few years ago,  Now I really can't withstand such a heavy blow.

    ¡°¡­Unfortunately, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m bringing you bad news. Mr. President.¡±

    Secretary Hull shrugged his shoulders, tried hard to suppress his emotions, and said as calmly as possible: "The medical expert team sent to Guam by seaplane has not found a suitable treatment plan so far, but it has finally figured it out initially.  The cause of the disease, Mr. President - fortunately among misfortunes, it should not be an infectious disease, but more similar to some kind of widespread poisoning. The reason is that except for the fleet officers and soldiers returning from Japan. Whether it is the Apra Navy in Guam  None of the station members or the aborigines on Guam had the same symptoms as the fleet officers and soldiers.

    Unfortunately, there is no specific cure for this disease so far. Even the best medical team in the United States can only watch as the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force have skin ulcers and internal organs rotting bit by bit, and finally they are covered in putrid odor and pus.  water.  A very miserable death.  The same terrible epidemic also occurred in the British and French expedition fleets. As for the mainland of the Japanese Empire, it was even more terrible-it is said that it was in Kyushu Island and the Tokyo area.  Millions of people have died, and the final death toll may rise to more than five million"

    ¡°¡­Your information is out of date, Cordell,¡± President Roosevelt said. ¡°¡­Just about twelve hours ago, in Japan¡¯s financialOsaka, the trading center and second largest city, has experienced its third devastating disaster since April this year - just like the fire from God that destroyed Gomorrah and Sodom.  After the three catastrophes were superimposed, the number of Japanese deaths must have exceeded five million.  The Japanese government calls it the ¡®Third Impact¡¯, while the Chinese Bolsheviks continue to insist on boasting that this is their ¡®powerful secret weapon¡¯ record¡±

    "ThisAlthough it is unbelievable, the Chinese Bolsheviks may indeed be telling the truth - experts have measured strong radiation from radioactive materials on the battleships in Guam, and these materials have been detected in both Nagasaki and Guam.  It should not exist,¡± Secretary Hull said.

    "Radioactive material? Radiation? Please be more clear." President Roosevelt crossed his hands and put his elbows on the table.

    "That's it, Mr. President. After the medical expert team dispatched by the Navy Department arrived in Guam, although they found organic lesions in the visceral tissues of the patients and the deceased, they could never find the bacteria as the pathogen, nor were they found.  There are signs of the spread of disease infection - even if the epidemic prevention conditions at Apra Naval Station are very poor - if it is cancer, there is no reason for so many healthy young men to get sick at the same time"

    In this regard, President Roosevelt did not speak rashly, but made a continuing gesture.

    "So, the expert team boarded those 'dead ships' that were feared by the locals, carefully inspected every corner, and finally accidentally discovered an abnormal phenomenon using the measuring instrument attached to the X-ray machine -  -The radioactivity intensity in some places on the ship was unusually high, and staying there was like taking X-rays all day longit reminded them of Marie Curie's laboratory!" Hull continued.

    "Radioactivity exceeded the standardMadame Curie's laboratoryis it uranium ore and radium?" President Roosevelt lowered his head and thought for a moment before asking, "I remember that a few years ago, there seemed to be a person in our country who drank radium soda.  And drank him to death?"

    "Yes, the medical experts sent to Guam thought so too, so they reported this speculation." Hull replied, "the Ministry of Health immediately collected domestic and European cases for study, but this  Cases were so rare that we had to conduct human trials"

    "Conducting human experiments on American soil? This is like something the devil would do?" The president's eyes showed a hint of reproach.

    "Please rest assured, Mr. President, we have all used illegal immigrants scheduled for deportation, and they will not be recorded in any files"

    Hull immediately explained, "the final result is jaw-dropping - the damage caused to human organs by long-term high-intensity radioactive radiation from uranium ore is almost exactly the same as the 'plague' disease that broke out in the United States' Asian Expedition Fleet."  Consistent"

    "In other words, you think that the Chinese used some method that we don't know yet to throw a large amount of disease-causing radioactive material on top of our fleet, thus causing this strange 'plague' in Guam  . Just like the Germans poured poison gas into the French trenches in the past But the question is How could this be possible?! In addition, what happened to the big explosion that flattened the entire port city?  What happened? There is also the major eruption of Mount Fuji that will happen more than a month later, and the 'Third Impact' that just happened in Osaka Damn red elements!"

    President Roosevelt suddenly covered his face with his hands and said in a dull voice, "If all this is true, what do they want to do?"

    "I'm sorry, the information collected so far is insufficient and I cannot give a more accurate answer." Hull replied.

    "Really" President Roosevelt leaned back in his chair and fell silent. After a while, he spoke again, "I am planning to hold an enlarged cabinet meeting at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to discuss this science fiction-sounding project.  Possibly, let people from the Navy and Army also participate.¡±

    "Okay, Mr. President." Hull bent down and bowed, and was about to leave when he saw the door of the Oval Office being slammed open - President Roosevelt's most trusted aide, Hopkins, was holding him.  Something stumbled in, " Mr. President! This is incredible! Explosive news! Uranium bombs! The Chinese Bolsheviks used uranium bombs to destroy Japanese military ports and our fleet"

    "Cordell just reported this speculation to me." Roosevelt frowned and replied, "remember to knock on the door when you come in"

    "It's not just a guess, but it may have become a cruel reality, Mr. President." Hopkins said with a wry smile, while reaching out and turning on the gramophone in his arms - after a burst of noise, a paragraph  The English broadcast that had just been recorded poured out from the speakers.?Out:

    "This is the English channel of Shanghai People's Broadcasting Station. Now, Vice Chairman Comrade Jin Qina will explain to you the "powerful secret weapons" used by our army to bombard Japan three times in the past three times, that is, the basic knowledge of nuclear fission weapons and nuclear fusion weapons.  ¡­¡±
