Rise from the sword

Chapter 625

"Oak Ridge was bombed by sixty bombers, and the factory district suffered heavy losses."

"Manhattan was bombed by fifteen bombers, the Statue of Liberty fell, the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center and other buildings were damaged."

"Boeing's B17 assembly plant was bombed by more than ten bombers, and the factory lost..."

"Los Alamos Laboratory Bombed..."

"..."

White House.

One bad news after another came through the phone and telegram. On the wheelchair, the president who was in charge of the power of the United States, always smiling confidently, and strategizing, turned pale for a while, and then his body began to shake.

"Mr President."

"Call the doctor!"

"doctor!"

In the end, amidst the secretary's exclamation, the Mr. President fell straight down.

Weak breathing.

unconscious.

As a president, and a president who is old, has disabled legs, and suffers from multiple underlying diseases, he is naturally equipped with a personal doctor, and he is also on standby at the White House at all times.

As soon as the secretary screamed, a doctor with a medical kit rushed in to rescue the president.

After confirming that the president of his family was still there, Donovan, who had not had time to leave, together with the staff of the president's office, sorted out the reports sent from various places, and in his capacity as the president's office urged all regions to report the losses as soon as possible.

Thanks to the good telephone line network in the United States, as well as the bombing and dispersion of the Germans, the damage to a single target was insufficient, and various information was quickly gathered in Donovan's hands.

But with more and more data on various injuries, even if the data obtained so far are preliminary data, Donovan began to regret it in his heart.

Why, do I want to do this job?

Obviously none of my business.

The huge loss made Donovan realize that this was obviously not a good job.

After thinking about it, Donovan called a staff officer:
"Go and count how many German planes were shot down."

There is too much bad news, but we can't hide it, so we can only dilute it with good news.

Ten minutes later, the statistics came quickly:

"About thirty."

Because of hasty statistics, only a rough figure can be drawn, but the actual situation will not be much different from this.

But at the end, Donovan's back began to break out in cold sweat.

The loss is too great.

too big.

Although the Germans had a large number of aircraft this time, at least [-], they were very large, with a bomb load of more than ten tons.

However, the United States is also very large and deep, and this bombing can still be tolerated. However, according to the summarized reports, every bombed is the core location of the United States, an important factory, and an experiment that has contact with the military. room,

The enemy definitely has detailed American military intelligence, otherwise it would be impossible to bomb so precisely.

As the head of the Intelligence Bureau, Donovan was sweating coldly down his spine.

Such information must be obtained by high-level US military officials, and there is more than one person, it is impossible for one person to obtain such comprehensive information.

What's more, the enemy seems to know very well about the Manhattan Project that even he can't see the whole picture.

Who is it?

While Donovan was sweating coldly, a group of American dignitaries, powerful congressmen, army admirals, and admirals came one after another. They rubbed their hands, stomped their feet, and waited outside anxiously.

Of course, there is also Vice President Truman, who is anxious on the surface but happy in his heart.

Although he and the President have a good relationship on the surface, there is actually a big gap. In the 40-year congressional election, the president privately asked him to give up his post as a congressman, but he refused, and in the end he was elected with a slight advantage.

It was true that he let out a bad breath.

So much so that the corners of his mouth even slightly curled up at this moment.

After all, if Mr. Cripple falls at this time, then the presidency is his, and there is no need for an election. It's just that this old guy hides it so well that no one finds out.

Some people, such as Eisenhower and others, did not arrive in time because of the distance, but the calls were kept one after another, which made the telephone office overwhelmed.

An hour later, after a series of rescue efforts, Mr. President finally regained consciousness faintly.

The president, including Donovan, were all overjoyed, and were about to go up to ask for their health, but they were afraid of disturbing the president, so they surrounded the president's personal doctor to ask about the situation.

Donovan was among them.

As the head of the intelligence bureau, he is directly responsible to the president and is the president's direct confidant. If the president has a problem, then his future will be over.

"How is the president?"

At the forefront is Donovan.

"It's still stable, and it will recover after a period of rest."

As soon as the doctor said this, everyone had different expressions.

Most of them, including the active-duty Army Navy General and Intelligence Director Donovan, were overjoyed, but only Truman, who was hiding at the back, suddenly collapsed at the corner of his mouth.

His president is gone.

"but."

But then, a sentence from the doctor made everyone's hearts rise again:

"The president must not be stimulated in the near future, otherwise..."

Donovan felt a chill.

He is holding a lot of stimuli in his hand now, and the loss of data in each row is bad news even if it is separated, let alone gathered together, so much so that he can't bear it.

Moreover, the Germans dispatched at least [-] bombers this time and dropped no less than [-] tons of explosives, so there will definitely be new bombings in the future.

Even if the mainland of the United States of America is not bombed, it is completely possible to bomb the mainland of the United Kingdom, and it will definitely happen. It can be expected that the next war will inevitably have a great turning point.

Can Mr. President's body hold up?
The generals are worried that if something goes wrong with this hawkish president, what will be the foreign strategy of the next succeeding president, and whether he will still support the war with all his strength, which makes them very worried.

Some people are sad and some are happy.

This news immediately made Truman's heart come alive.

"and also."

After a pause, the doctor continued:

"The reason why the president survived this time is because the president took some new drugs imported from the Republic of China not long ago. These drugs have very good cardiovascular and cerebrovascular effects."

"Republic of China?"

When the topic was changed, everyone didn't react for a while, and the topic itself surprised everyone.

Republic of China.

An agricultural country that doesn't even have a basic industrial foundation, can't produce guns, ammunition and shells by itself, and is beaten by the Japanese army of millions.

Why does the United States still need to import drugs from there?
Are there medical companies over there?

"Correct."

The doctor nodded heavily:

"Ping'an County Hospital in Shanxi during the Republic of China."

"These medicines are all bought from the hospital there at a high price. They are very expensive. The cheapest bottle costs [-] US dollars, and the most expensive bottle is even [-] US dollars."

In this era of the fifty-dollar monthly salary of the American leader, even five thousand dollars for a bottle of medicine can be said to be a real sky-high price.

Shanxi.

Ping An County.

The generals immediately thought of the recent weapons and equipment, industrial facilities, and talent assistance in the Republic of China.Others also thought of the mountain warfare situation in the European peninsula.

As well as the big mules that the frontline troops were crying for their fathers and mothers and asked to buy.

With the current relationship between the United States and the Republic of China, it is absolutely impossible to get that kind of military mule.

"It would be best to invite an expert over there."

The doctor continued:

"The people who can invent these medicines are at least ten years ahead of our medical system."

Everyone's expressions froze.

They scolded someone not long ago, and they scolded them at a press conference.

"Donovan."

In the room, the president's weak voice suddenly sounded.

Donovan hurried in.

"How about the specific loss? Has it been summed up?"

The pale president immediately asked a series of questions:

"Also, what happened to that plan?"

Although he was knocked into a coma, the president remembered clearly at this time that not only Manhattan, the Boeing McDonnell Douglas bomber assembly plant, but also the Los Alamos laboratory and the Oak Ridge plant were also bombed.

The former is the mind of the Manhattan Project, and the latter is the heart of the Manhattan Project.

"them···"

Donovan moved his mouth, but was speechless for a while.

Because the enemy obtained accurate intelligence, the Los Alamos laboratory was bombed by eight bombers at low altitude. The laboratory was basically destroyed, and the loss of personnel was very serious. Seven project managers died.

The Oak Ridge factory was bombed by [-] bombers, and the loss of materials and personnel was worse than that of the laboratory.

If this news is passed to the President...
·····
this afternoon.

Tokyo.

The burning flames began to weaken, the billowing smoke covering the whole city gradually dissipated, the temperature outside gradually became normal, and the locust and Tojo also ran out of the underground bunker.

"This is the palace..."

"This is Tokyo..."

"This is the Empire..."

As soon as he went out, looking at the scorched wreckage everywhere, Tian Locust asked three times in his soul.

At this moment, the whole body of the helm of the devil empire was shaking.

In just one night, the imperial palace, which represented the highest glory and power of the Japanese Empire, turned into a black charred wreck, and Tokyo, which represented the achievements of half a century of civil reform, also turned into a charred wreck.

It's hard for him to accept.

So much so that in the end, his eyes turned black and he almost couldn't stand up.

Fortunately, the locust is stronger and healthier than the president in the wheelchair, and younger than him. With the support of the guards behind him, he barely stabilized his body and did not fall down the street.

However, it still took a long time to recover. During this period, a kind of high-level devil came to meet him.

"Who did it?"

After a long time, after gasping for dozens of breaths, the locust who finally managed to let go gritted his teeth and shouted hysterically.

"It's from the Republic of China."

Doi Madoka replied immediately.

The imperial general, the head of the intelligence department, had a scorched face at this time. As a high-ranking official, he naturally escaped the bombing yesterday, but because of bad luck, he was hit by a piece of wood with sparks, and was injured. hurt a little.

He replied:

"They dispatched about a hundred bombers and took off from Heyuan County Airfield."

The devil is not made of mud, and he quickly investigated the ins and outs of the matter.

"Go call Minui Mitsumasa, Toyoda Fubutake, Matsui..."

The locust's tone was full of murderous intent.

Obviously, the devil locust was angry, very angry.The capital of the empire was bombed and almost burned to pieces. He vowed in his heart that he must take revenge.

"How's the loss?"

After the guard went to call for someone, the locust continued to ask.

"It's a huge loss."

A senior devil immediately replied:
"Although civilian casualties have not been counted, according to aerial surveys, half of the entire city was burned. Preliminary estimates indicate that more than 30 houses were burned and more than 120 million people were affected."

The locust staggered suddenly, and his eyes went dark again, almost shutting down on the spot.

Seeing the situation of the imperial palace and the scorched black everywhere, he guessed that the empire would be miserable this time, but he didn't expect that it would be so miserable, far more miserable than he expected.

"in addition."

The devil's senior official obviously didn't notice the situation of the locust, and he was still talking:

"The enemy has focused on bombing the industrial area, so the loss of the industrial area is very serious. It is estimated that Tokyo's industrial manufacturing capacity will be lost by more than [-]%."

"and."

With that said, the high-ranking devil official paused, and continued:
"Just now, the palace guards found the wreckage of Prince Asaka's samurai sword in the pond."

Hearing this news, Devil Tianlocust couldn't bear the blow any longer, his eyes went dark, and he fell straight.

Thirteen hours later, the locust woke up in a basement. At this time, beside him, the high-level officials of the entire empire came.The commander of the joint fleet, the general of the army, the commander of the army aviation, as well as Mitsumasa Minai and other important officials, as well as Wanji Ishihara.

As for Hideki Tojo, he consciously did not come.

"Mine-kun, you will be the new prime minister."

Sky Locust looked at Minei Guangzheng and said in a weak tone.

"Hi."

Facing the request of the locust, the former Prime Minister Mitsumasa Minei could only nod in agreement. As for the others, no one came out to dissuade them.

The fact that Minet was the prime minister was a conclusion reached after discussions between Tianlocust and a group of important ministers, and was supported by many people, including some army officers. You must know that Mitsuko Mitsunai is from the navy.

Obviously, everyone already hated Lieutenant Tojo very much, even the army itself.

"We must avenge the bombing of Tokyo."

In the end, the locust gritted his teeth, just like revenge for killing his father and taking his wife away.

Of course, it's about the same.

Li Yunlong focuses on taking care of the palace. He is a locust, and he can run fast with his guards, but other people in the palace can't do it. Facing the falling bombs, the ghost locust not only suffered heavy losses for the empire, but also for his family.

"Hi."

Compared to the incompetent and arrogant Tojo, Minai obviously has a lot of brains, and he immediately began to talk about his plan:

"My lord, the enemy is very powerful. The Republic of China represented by the Eighth Route is rising rapidly. With our own strength, it may be difficult to defeat the Eighth Route in the interior of the Republic of China."

"However, the international situation has changed now. The Americans seem to be afraid of their rise, so much so that they probably gave up the Pacific offensive to make us and the Republic of China lose both."

"Now, the people of the Republic of China have the advantage, we can think of a way here."

"But we are still at war with the United States..."

Naturally, the locust understands Mi Nei's thoughts and is nothing more than looking for help, but his family attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States before, and they are still fighting.

"This American has sent the signal."

Miney continued:

"Just this morning, the U.S. government held a press conference, condemning the Republic of China's massive bombing of the empire, saying that they massacred civilians, which violated international conventions, and the U.S. government spokesperson also said that they would provide the people who were killed by the enemy in our country. A little non-military assistance."

"Although we can't come clearly, we can use means such as transit..."

In the state of war, the two sides cannot contact directly, but this problem is not a big problem, and the big deal is to add a middleman.

very mature.

"Yo Xi."

The locust suddenly looked better, and then he said in a more emphatic tone:

"Get a good deal for the empire."

If you want assistance at this time, you have to pay some price, even the price that affects the future strategic level, this is very clear to the locust.

"Don't worry about that."

Minei smiled slightly, speaking confidently:

"The Americans are not having a good time today. They were also bombed yesterday, and on a larger scale."

"The Germans dispatched more than [-] bombers to bomb the United States, and the Statue of Liberty was blown down."

"Nani?"

Hearing this news, the locust's expression was complicated for a while.

The Germans suddenly rose to prominence, one-on-one against Britain and the United States plus a polar bear not to lose, and even to gain the upper hand. This was the thing he most hoped to see back then, but it came too late.

When the relationship was good, the Germans were beaten by three parties.

But now they have risen, and then the Germans turned against the empire.

The imperial ambassadors were all arrested, and even the Germans didn't even give a reason.

then.

The Americans who were just about to bow their heads for help seemed to be in a bit of a bad situation.

Why is the empire so obsessed?
Are all the teammates you find so unreliable?
