    Chapter 1259: The Ferocious Giant (Part 1) Standing in front of the window of the consulate, looking at the market not far away, smelling the strong smell of sheep dung, Truman¡¯s brows were knitted together, with a worried expression.  , not far behind, stood a presidential staff member, and beside the closed door, stood a maid, both of whom had the same serious expressions as the president.  (Niu Wen Novel ~ Read Novel Online) At this time, there was a knock on the door from outside. The maid opened the door and let in a presidential secretary. The secretary walked straight behind President Truman and whispered a few words to Mr. President.  talk.  "Please Mr. Prime Minister, please go to the living room. I will meet with him soon." Truman nodded, but his eyes still did not leave the market.  This is a city full of exotic atmosphere, but it is also a city full of primitive atmosphere. Messiness is the main characteristic of the city. To be honest, Truman is very curious about how many years it will take the Egyptians to make this ancient city.  The city has a new look. The new Egyptian government has officially signed a treaty and joined the Asian League. The Asian League has also provided a large amount of free assistance to the Egyptian government, part of which has been announced by the Cairo Municipal Government as funding for the renovation of municipal facilities.  Perhaps the Egyptians really intend to give their capital a new look. A group of people can be seen busy outside the market. They are erecting telegraph poles. The telegraph poles originally erected by the British have been used by the Germans for fortifications.  Now, those brand-new telephone poles, whether they are poles, lamps, wires, or lampshades, are all made in China. When Europe was in the middle of a war, the Chinese made their business a success.  On the war front, just like what American businessmen do, wherever the army is stationed, there will be businessmen following them. However, in the past, the competitors with American businessmen were British businessmen and German businessmen, but now, the opponents of American businessmen have  Replaced by Chinese businessmen.  Competition is fierce. Chinese goods are cheap and high-quality, making them the strongest competitor to American goods. In the world market, the most intense competition is currently between Chinese and American goods, even the most common daily consumer goods such as chocolate and soda.  , and the fight was so intense that perhaps the struggle between China and the United States over national interests can be seen from the commercial competition alone.  In order to compete for national interests, the two governments will naturally use all means. Among them, the most critical and decisive one is military means. Nothing can protect national interests better than armed force. The survival of human beings.  The order of human society relies to a large extent on violence. In the competition between countries, whoever's violence machine is more effective will win.  The most serious problem currently facing the United States is that China's military power is already very powerful. Unless it can obtain a new technology that "surpasses all military technology," the United States will have to acquiesce in the strategic advantages China has achieved.  .  In order to obtain this new technology that "surpasses all military technology", the U.S. government spared no expense and spent a lot of money to accelerate the implementation of the "Manhattan Project" and develop atomic weapons. After several years of painstaking research that cost huge sums of money, it finally succeeded in developing the first atomic bomb.  At that time, President Roosevelt had not yet died. President Roosevelt was more cautious about how to use the atomic bomb. He suggested testing it first, and the test was completed on the eve of his death. The results proved the predictions of those European and American scientists.  The power is indeed "surpassing all military technology". The destructive power brought by this weapon is not comparable to any previous conventional weapons. Although it is not clear how President Roosevelt planned the use of atomic weapons, Truman had his own  plan, and he also put this plan into practice.  The plan to bomb the Axis cities with atomic bombs was formulated by the U.S. military department. At the beginning, the military department selected some target cities for this purpose and handed them over to the president for decision. In this long list of candidates for atomic bombing  , Berlin and Tokyo were among them. In the end, Truman, who had just taken over as president, determined the target of the United States' first actual combat atomic bomb to be Tokyo, Japan. At that time, the United States only had a total of two assembled atomic bombs.  Truman did not hesitate to use one of the atomic bombs, and Tokyo became the first city in human history to be bombed by nuclear bombs, and it was also the first capital of a belligerent country to be bombed by nuclear bombs.  The bombing of Tokyo was not only to urge Japan to cease the war, but also to "shock" China. Truman very much hoped that through this move, he would remind China in a way that did not require verbal threats, "Never go against the United States." At the same time, this  The atomic bomb is also showing the determination of the United States to all governments. In order to safeguard the national interests of the United States, the U.S. government and the U.S. side have the confidence and ability to destroy a country's capital in an instant and paralyze its war command center.  At first, it seemed like everything was going well with Truman¡¯s plan.After the news that Beijing was bombed with atomic bombs was confirmed, governments around the world were taken by surprise. The allies of the United States rejoiced. The British and French governments were "pleased" that the United States used atomic bombs to attack the Axis powers. The competitors of the United States  Not only did Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy use abuses in newspapers and radio to cover up their extreme fear, but even the Soviet government expressed serious concern through the official news agency about the "very inhumane weapon" such as the atomic bomb.  Equally fearful.  The only exception is the Chinese government. When the United States forwarded the report on the nuclear bombing of Japan to the Chinese side, to Truman's expectation, the "madman president" just expressed surprise and said, "The United States is really  "Used an atomic bomb?", and then, as if nothing had happened, he continued to do whatever he was supposed to do, and even attended a banquet on the night when Tokyo was bombed with atomic bombs.  Truman once thought that the reason why the Chinese president was so calm might be just an illusion, and he was extremely frightened in his heart. Perhaps it was because of his superb acting skills that others could not understand why he was so calm.  However, something happened yesterday that made Truman, who felt good about himself, suddenly collapse. Just yesterday, the Chinese government held a press conference in Beijing, and the Vice President announced to the world a fact, that is: China has also  The atomic bomb was successfully developed, but only for humanitarian reasons, so this "doomsday weapon" has not been used in war. Therefore, the Chinese government finds it "incomprehensible" for the US government's reckless use of this doomsday weapon to attack cities.  ".  Truman was very clear about the offensive meaning in the Chinese Vice President¡¯s words, but he didn¡¯t care about international public opinion. He only cared about one thing: Are everything the Chinese said true?  Does China really have an atomic bomb?  With this kind of doubt, Truman asked the Chinese President Mr. Zhao Bei on the phone yesterday, who was attending the allied summit meeting in Cairo, but the other party told him that a press conference would also be held in Cairo today, at which time China would  Official invitations were sent to representatives of all parties at the Cairo Conference, asking them to send relevant scientists to China to participate in a weapons test code-named "Ferocious Giant". At that time, scientists from various countries will see with their own eyes the spectacular and cruel scene when a nuclear weapon explodes.  There is no doubt that Mr. Zhao Bei means that he does not mind if the United States also sends several experts to a certain weapons testing base in China to observe atomic weapons tests, in order to convey the message to the U.S. government that the United States¡¯ atomic bombs are not the most powerful in the world.  The only atomic weapon, China also has the same weapon, nuclear blackmail is completely ineffective against China.  This information kept Truman awake all night. After dawn today, he was fully dressed and stood by the window, waiting for the press conference to be held. Now, it was already half past nine in the morning, and the meeting had already been held for an hour.  , and more than half of the heads of state at the Cairo Conference attended that meeting. Truman himself did not go, but he sent the Secretary of State there.  Now, the Secretary of State has not come back, but the British Prime Minister has come. Truman must consider how to respond to the Prime Minister's suggestion yesterday. Just yesterday, the Prime Minister asked Truman whether he could transfer atomic bomb technology to the British government?  The United Kingdom is an ally of the United States and has transferred jet engine technology to the United States for free. Now, the British government hopes that the United States government can reciprocate and transfer this atomic bomb technology to the United Kingdom so that the United Kingdom can "better coordinate operations" and counterattack the British Empire as soon as possible.  island.  Before learning that China also had atomic bombs, the president's staff unanimously opposed the transfer of atomic bomb technology to any country, including allies. But now, the situation seems to have changed. When China also has atomic bombs, is it necessary for the United States to arm its allies with nuclear weapons?  Get up?  This was a difficult decision to make immediately. The staff was deeply divided and Truman was at a loss as to what to do.  "Mr. President, Mr. British Prime Minister has been waiting for five minutes." The staff behind him saw Truman standing by the window in a daze, looked at the time, and had to remind Mr. President.  Truman nodded, turned and walked out of the room, met with the new British Prime Minister Attlee in the living room, and conveyed his decision to the Prime Minister.  "Mr. Prime Minister, regarding the transfer of atomic bomb technology, we still need to seek the opinion of the military. I can't give you a reply right now." Truman was actually a little strange. It would not be strange if Churchill came to make the British proposal, but Attlee  But he is the leader of the British Labor Party and has always regarded himself as a pacifist.  "However, China already has atomic bombs. Yesterday, I heard that President Lanfang had suggested to the Chinese President that each member of the Asian Alliance should equip the military with several atomic bombs  "The British Prime Minister blinked and expressed difficulty in understanding what the President said. "President Lanfang must be crazy.  " Truman looked a little weird, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head. "I don't think China will easily transfer atomic bomb technology to any country, even Lanfang.  "The British Prime Minister was still unwilling to give in. After all, the relationship between Britain and China was not very good. When he was about to come up with the French suggestions, the US Secretary of State had already walked to the door of the living room and was invited into the living room by Truman. "Mr. President,  The Chinese President's press conference has ended. He has officially issued invitations to the participating governments, asking them to send scientists and weapons experts to China to observe weapons tests.  " "What on earth do the Chinese want to do?  "Truman glanced at the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State shrugged and said he couldn't understand. "Mr. President, does the U.S. government also send scientists to China?  "The Secretary of State asked Truman. "When will the test be held?  " "Six days later.  " "It seems that there is enough time, if you take the Arctic route by plane.  Just ask Mr. Bohr to go to China. I heard that the chairman of China¡¯s Atomic Energy Commission was Mr. Bohr¡¯s assistant at the Copenhagen Institute.  " "Mr. Bohr seems to be unsociable. If Mr. President has no objection, I suggest sending another military person to accompany Mr. Bohr.  "    "All right.  Leave this matter to the military.  " Truman nodded. At this point, he could only wait patiently for the "Ghost" test to be over. He was curious about what kind of weapons test it was. If it was just an atomic bomb explosion test,  It is somewhat unnecessary. After all, at yesterday's press conference in Beijing, the Chinese had shown the video recording of their atomic bomb explosion test to reporters from all over the world. It is absolutely impossible to forge, and scientists from the United States' "Manhattan Project" also confirmed it.  The details of the reporters' written reports are completely consistent with the scenes of the US atomic bomb test.
