Chapter 125 Recruitment (seeking a monthly ticket,
"For propaganda work, we must emphasize the traditional relationship between Hanover and Britain, and try to let German citizens in the British-occupied areas understand that the British came to help them, so as to reduce the hostility of the Germans towards the occupying forces."
"This matter can bring other countries into the water. The French want to annex the Saarland, and the American prisoners of war in the Rhine Camp have not been released. As for the Soviet Union, we can make up whatever we want, and the Germans will believe anything. Other countries are just a puddle of mud, just compare
The gentlemanly behavior of the British Empire came out."
"Sir Edward has high hopes for our plans to restore Germany. The risks and opportunities exist, gentlemen."
"The British-occupied area is close to the sea, and roads, railways and fishery resources must be included in the plan first. The Military Commission is also worried about famine in Germany. We must prepare for the arrival of winter. Coal production in the Ruhr area must resume immediately."
"For Germany's large enterprises in the Ruhr area, we immediately organized people to go to investigate. Maybe some of the owners have been imprisoned, but production still has to continue. I will go there personally!"
Alan Wilson volunteered to travel to the Ruhr area to restore production in the British-occupied area. He had long wanted to do this. As soon as he arrived in Germany, he had the idea of digging for gold in manure, but was delayed by trivial matters such as the Potsdam Conference.
time.
"Administratively, our plan is to add the divisions of the British-occupied Military Commission to the Trade Commission."
"Our plan in big cities is to quell the rampant black market transactions. If this is not possible for the time being, we will first clean up the urban garbage. This can help German soldiers who have been released to help."
"As for the trade plan, we should immediately formulate a price list that is close to the reality of Germany and submit it to London to establish a trading system for British India, British-occupied areas and British India. Liaison Officer Allen has worked in British India, so he has taken a lot of trouble.
"
Alan Wilson nodded and said, "I believe that with the support of many colleagues, the recovery of the British-occupied areas will be surprising. Of course, this cannot be done without the support of British India? We are in a group, although we are at two ends of the earth,
But the heart to serve the British Empire is the same."
Plan, plan, plan! Gentlemen attending the meeting of the Trade Committee? Plan to do this? Plan to do that? For those who don’t know, if you haven’t seen the Union Jack of the British Empire outside, an authentic Cockney accent in the conference room,
When you came in and saw this scene, you might have thought that the Soviet Planning and Economic Commission was formulating a five-year plan.
If an American comes in? Maybe he will be shocked. Has the British Empire changed its color?
And the civil servants of the British Empire did not shy away from it at all? It was simply as it should be. They seemed to be no strangers to the methods promoted by the Soviet Union.
Of course it’s not unfamiliar? There are similarities with the wartime system itself? Not to mention that the new Prime Minister Attlee himself calls himself a socialist. Of course civil servants must answer the call? Maintain a high degree of consistency with the organization.
Has the UK implemented a planned economy? Of course it has. Not only the UK? European countries are basically implementing a planned economy system, where resources are allocated by the state, products are contracted by the state, and costs are stipulated by the state.
To treat the people, we might as well implement the most extreme system in the planned economy: rationing!
Is there still a rationing system in the UK? The civil servants who came to the British-occupied areas of Germany, of course, just came here, and they showed professionalism no less than that of the Soviet Planning Economic Commission, and made plans for the recovery and development of Germany.
How could those opportunistic cigarette dealers in the United States know that the meeting in the British-occupied zone was just the tip of the iceberg for such a high-end thing? To really start a war, the new Prime Minister Attlee would have to be appointed. Attlee was preparing to nationalize major industries. Waiting for the news
It was when the news came that Americans were shocked.
After leaving the Trade Commission headquarters, Alan Wilson was thinking about whether to go to the port first or to visit the headquarters of a famous German company. It seemed that both things were important.
Europe has begun to heal the pain caused by the war, but the world is far from calm. Japan, a member of the Axis Powers, is still holding on, clamoring for a decisive battle on its homeland.
Seeing that the Soviet Red Army had established a foothold in Hokkaido and was not driven into the sea by the Japanese army, the Americans saw it and were anxious in their hearts. The American soldiers were not as obedient as the Soviet soldiers, and the expected casualties were indeed unbearable.
President Truman, who returned to the United States, after discussions, finally decided to let the Japanese taste the latest achievements of the United States. At the same time, he also wanted to shock the Soviets. Only by actually applying nuclear bombs in war can the Soviets calm down.
Conducting experiments in one's own country lacks a sense of shock. Now let the Japanese achieve this kind of shock.
"We cannot wait for the step-by-step occupation of Japan next year. Once the Soviets invest the fleet obtained from Germany into the Far East, we will have to face the same situation as Germany, or even worse. This is intolerable to the United States,
Japan and the United States have an irresolvable hatred. If the whole world knew that Japan was the sponsor of the Pearl Harbor incident, but half of it was divided by the Soviet Union, the leadership that the United States wants to pursue would be gone."
"In that case, in the eyes of other countries, the United States will be just an ordinary country that is rich but has a weak military. It cannot even defeat Japan, an island country, on its own. What qualifications does such a country have to lead the world?"
Compared with when he was in Potsdam, President Truman, who had already participated in important international conferences, had undergone some changes in his thinking and truly began to think about issues with a broader mind.
"I know the Air Force is ready, let's start it!" Truman made a decisive decision at the military meeting.
The only possibility of forcing Japan to surrender lies in the nuclear bomb, a secret weapon that has just been released.
It was the "509 Group" that dropped the nuclear bomb. For ten months, the "509 Group", like other B-29 bombers based at the Tinian Island base, participated in air raids on Japanese cities.
The only difference is that they still only carry one bomb at a time, and each time they drop the bomb, they are required to maintain a certain height; just like the previous training courses, they are required to hit the bomb accurately and explode within the visual range.
After actual combat, their skills have been greatly improved, and they are familiar with flying under complex weather conditions. At this time, only one person in the group knew why they had to practice this action repeatedly, and he was the leader of the team, Colonel Tibbes.
The first operational atomic bomb in the United States was divided into four parts and transported to Tinian Island by three aircraft and a cruiser, where it was assembled. It would be carried by a B-29 with serial number 82
bomber drop.
In a short period of time before the atomic bomb was dropped, or due to psychological reasons or other reasons, the well-trained "509 Group" had accidents one after another, and four B-29 bombers were damaged during takeoff and landing.
Or scrapped entirely.
Colonel Tibes, who received the domestic telegram, announced for the first time that the "509 Group" had been training for ten months in order to drop a bomb in Japan, but it was not an ordinary bomb, but one with the energy equivalent of 20,000 tons of TNT
of nuclear bombs.
The B-29 bomber will be piloted by Colonel Tibbes, with the original pilot Robert Lewis as co-pilot.
No one on the crew understood the structure of the atomic bomb. The technical expert, Colonel Persons, was ordered to fly randomly. If the mission was not completed and he was captured, Persons should commit suicide immediately.
Just before the nuclear bomb arrived, the Japanese Empire's base camp was still happy to contain the Soviet Union's Hokkaido offensive.
The Soviets who were sweeping across Europe could not take advantage of the island country of Japan, not to mention the US military, which was not particularly combat-effective. Once the US military landed, they would inevitably be wiped out by the heroic fighting of the imperial soldiers and civilians.
After receiving the domestic military order, the team members knew that the next operation would go down in history. With uncontrollable nervousness and excitement, the team members boarded the plane one after another. A moment later, the B-29 bomber carrying a five-ton nuclear bomb
It rose from the ground and disappeared in the night sky in an instant.
Hiroshima is an army city, and generations of Japanese soldiers boarded ships from here. During the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, and until the World War, countless men of the Yamato nation came and fought for the Japanese Empire.
As the headquarters of the Second Army of the Home Defense Force, Hiroshima is already under complete militarized management. The streets and alleys are covered with slogans of serving the country seven lives and fighting to the death. At seven o'clock in the morning, the morning light falls on the earth. It can be seen that it is a good weather.
At the beginning of the festival, many Japanese people had already come out of their homes. They were looking for anything suspicious to satisfy their hunger.
As overseas shipping has been completely cut off, food shortages have appeared in various parts of Japan. However, in the face of national crisis, Japanese people everywhere still gritted their teeth and persisted, and were mentally prepared to fight the United States to the death.
"Target Hiroshima!" Colonel Tibbes said the name of the city to be bombed on the B-29 bomber.
As the distance to the target gets closer and closer, the two accompanying the escort can no longer move forward. The rest of the journey belongs to the B-29 bomber named Enoa Gay. At eight o'clock in the morning, the Enoa Gay
Already close to Hiroshima.
Colonel Tibbes issued an order for all crew members to wear aviation sunglasses to prevent their eyes from being burned by the intense bright light of the nuclear bomb.
At 8:16 in the morning, the B-29 bomber Enoa Gay over Hiroshima opened its magazine. The little boy landed with a smile. Then the Enoa Gay suddenly accelerated and evacuated Hiroshima as quickly as possible.
.
A dazzling light appeared over Hiroshima, and countless Hiroshima people looked up in confusion. This was the last time they saw light in their lives, and there would be endless darkness. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, their eyes would be permanently damaged.
What followed was a violent shock wave, comparable to any earthquake in history, and a huge mushroom cloud bloomed over Hiroshima.
