    Chapter 504 Procrastination?

    Throwing an atomic bomb is like killing someone. You will be hesitant the first time you use it, but then you will quickly get used to it. If you taste the benefits, you will even become "addicted".

    ¡°Throw atomic bombs, throw atomic bombs, throw more atomic bombs!¡±

    After April 1946, public opinion in the United States was full of such voices. In the minds of many people, it seemed as if the essence of war was to win by constantly dropping atomic bombs.

    During the process, although some scientists made different voices, in the United States today, these voices did not spread far and were completely covered up by the louder "voice of patriotism."

    Although it is not yet clear how much damage the atomic bomb dropped on Etok Island caused to Japan, President Dewey, who used the nuclear bomb, has already tasted the "weakness" shown by Britain, Germany and the Soviet Union in the diplomacy after the use of nuclear bombs.  of sweetness.

    Then he chatted with his adviser, who was already planning how to throw the second and third atomic bombs to put more pressure on the traditional powers of the European continent and force them to withdraw from the war.

    Without these spoilers, President Dewey believed that the United States could easily tear Japan into pieces in as little as a year.

    In his mind, President Dewey planned a script that after defeating Japan, the U.S. Navy, which was at its peak, would immediately move south, take advantage of the threat of atomic bombs, target the British in the south, and then use this stick to Europe and the United States.  The Pacific shit stirrer was completely pulverized.

    By touting the power of the superweapon atomic bomb, President Dewey temporarily alleviated the pressure he faced at home.  In April, the U.S. Navy took delivery of two more Midway-class aircraft carriers and the last Essex-class aircraft carrier.  At this point, the construction plan of thirty-six Essex-class aircraft carriers formulated by the United States has been completed.  A large number of more advanced Midway-class aircraft carriers will also be put into service in the following months (Note: Historically, the two Midway-class aircraft carriers joined the U.S. Navy in September and October 1945. However, due to the  Due to the impact of the United States' construction of the 70,000-ton Montana-class battleship and the priority of completing the Essex-class aircraft carrier, the construction time of the Midway class was delayed)

    The U.S. Navy after 1946 was like a large truck running at full power without brakes, expanding at an increasingly terrifying high speed.

    Although it is March 30th.  The U.S. Naval Air Force has been engaged in fierce exchanges of fire with the joint air forces of Britain, Germany, and China over Hokkaido. However, the United States and Britain, Germany, and China have still not officially declared war, and the four countries continue to maintain this strange state of "war without declaring war."

    Throughout April, the U.S. diplomatic ambassadors to the three countries have been lobbying among the top leaders of the three countries, waving the "nuclear stick" in their hands, and doing their last hard work to "fight for world peace."  In addition, the US ambassador is also working hard to win the "cooperation" of the Soviet Union, because during the conflict with the Eurasian coalition forces at the end of March, the Soviet Union has been in a wait-and-see neutral attitude.  To Americans, this is a hint.

    From April to May, the U.S. government wielded a nuclear stick in its left hand and a carrot in its right hand, trying its best to dismember the Eurasian Union.

    Enemies must be defeated one by one. It is foolish to be an enemy of the whole world. President Dewey understood this very well.

    In the Battle of Hokkaido, the Americans were flexing their "nuclear muscles" to the world.  In the sky over Hokkaido, I was also slightly frightened by my opponent's strength.

    Jet fighters appeared in air combat for the first time.  And in actual combat, it completely suppressed traditional piston fighters.  After the war, when people from the navy were summarizing the lessons learned from this battle, they told the president that unless the navy could possess similar aircraft, the U.S. military would be under extremely heavy pressure in air combat during future operations to land in Japan.  It gave President Dewey even more headache.  It is the terrifying penetration ability of jet fighters when used as interceptors. Now that the existence of the atomic bomb has been exposed, the risk of using B29 again to carry out air strikes against Japan will become even greater.

    Although in recent years, in order to bomb Japan.  The United States has also fully launched another B36 strategic bomber.  But this research project, which cost up to one billion US dollars, is still an immature and semi-finished product.  Moreover, even if the B36 bomber is put into service, its range and load capacity are enough to carry an atomic bomb and fly back and forth between Atura Island and Hokkaido.  But in the face of the air defense capabilities displayed by the Eurasian coalition forces in the Battle of Hokkaido, this kind of air raid was also a very risky behavior.  The "lost" of an atomic bomb in the last bombing operation has made President Dewey frightened and very uneasy to this day. He really does not have the courage to conduct a similar risky operation again.

    ¡°Build aircraft carriers, build aircraft carriers, build more Midway-class aircraft carriers!¡±

    After using the atomic bomb to temporarily relieve the political pressure on his shoulders, President Dewey decided to temporarilyStop the offensive against the Japanese mainland, and instead shift all focus to the direction of dividing the European Union through diplomatic means.  The war machine of the United States of America is operating at high speed. After May 1946, the United States' new aircraft carriers have entered the season of "large aircraft carrier harvest". A new Midway-class large aircraft carrier will be put into service every month.

    Not only the Midway-class aircraft carrier, as time goes by, more nuclear materials will also be produced, and the United States will have more atomic bombs on its hands.

    "Give me time, please give me another year! By then the United States of America will have enough atomic bombs, and then I will use them to wipe Japan off the face of the earth! As long as there are enough atomic bombs, the United States of America will  There is no need to sacrifice millions of young men to join the brutal meat grinder of landing and seizing the island!¡±

    In April, in a speech to the nation, President Dewey promised all citizens of the United States, beating his chest.  During this period, the United States continued to screen the film documentary filmed on the first nuclear test in major theaters in the country. Almost all citizens in the United States saw the scene of the atomic bomb explosion and the subsequent destruction of the site.

    ¡°Give the president one more year to build more atomic bombs, and the United States of America can win the war with millions fewer deaths!¡±

    This is the slogan shouted by the Republican Party represented by Dewey in the newspapers.

    The veteran President Dewey knew the shortcomings of the coalition forces and his own advantages. He wanted to continue to drag out the war. The longer the time dragged on, the more cards he had in his hand and the greater his chance of winning.

    But, how can everything go as expected?  (To be continued)
