Chapter 125 Recruitment

"For the propaganda work, we should emphasize the traditional relationship between Hanover and the United Kingdom, and try to let the German citizens in the British-occupied areas understand that the British came to help them, and reduce the Germans' hostility towards the occupying forces."

"This incident can drag other countries into trouble. The French want to annex the Saarland region. The prisoners of war in the Rhine camp in the United States have not yet been released. As for the Soviet Union, we can make up whatever we want, and the Germans will believe everything. Out of the gentlemanly manners of the British Empire."

"Sir Edward has high hopes for our plans to restore Germany. There are risks as well as opportunities, 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 committee 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 large companies in the Ruhr area in Germany, we will immediately organize people to investigate. Some owners may have been imprisoned, but production must continue. I will go to this matter personally!"

Alan Wilson volunteered to go to the Ruhr area to resume production in the British-occupied area. He had wanted to do this for a long time. When he first came to Germany, he had the idea of ​​digging for gold in dung, but was delayed by trivial matters like the Potsdam Conference. time.

"Administratively, our plan is to add the subdivisions of the British Occupied Military Council to the Trade Council."

"Our plan in the big cities is to quell the rampant black market transactions. If we can't do it for the time being, we should clean up the city's garbage first. This can help the released German soldiers."

"As for the trade plan, immediately formulate a price list that is close to the reality of Germany, report it to London, and establish a trading system between British India, the British-occupied area, and British India. Liaison Officer Allen has worked in British India, so don't worry about it. "

Alan Wilson nodded and said, "I believe that with the support of many colleagues, the restoration of the British-occupied area will be a surprise. Of course, this cannot be done without the support of British India. We are in a group, although at both ends of the world, But the heart is the same to serve the British Empire."

Plan, plan, plan! Gentlemen participating in the meeting of the trade committee, plan to do this one by one, plan to do that, if those who don’t know have not seen the Union Jack of the British Empire outside, and the authentic London accent in the conference room, as soon as they come in and see this scene, Maybe they thought it was the Planned Economic Committee of the Soviet Union that was formulating a five-year plan.

If it was an American who came in, they might be surprised. Has the British Empire changed its color?

As for the civil servants of the British Empire, they didn't shy away from it at all, it was just as it should be, and they seemed to be no strangers to the methods promoted by the Soviet Union.

Of course no stranger,

There are similarities in the wartime system itself, not to mention that the new Prime Minister Attlee himself calls himself Socialism. Civil servants must of course respond to the call and maintain a high degree of consistency with the organization.

Did Britain have a planned economy? Of course it did. Not only the United Kingdom has implemented it, but all European countries are basically implementing a planned economic system. Resources are allocated by the state, products are contracted by the state, and costs are regulated by the state.

To treat the people, simply implement the most extreme system in the planned economy: the rationing system!

Now that Britain is still under the rationing system, the civil servants who came to the British-occupied areas of Germany, of course, showed the professionalism no less than that of the Soviet Planned Economic Commission as soon as they came, and made plans for the recovery and development of Germany.

Those opportunistic cigarette dealers in the United States don’t know about such high-end products. The meeting in the British-occupied area is just the tip of the iceberg. The new Prime Minister Attlee is going to have to go to war. Attlee is preparing to nationalize major industries. Wait until the news It was when the Americans were shocked.

After leaving the headquarters of the Trade Commission, Alan Wilson thought about going to the port first or visiting the headquarters of a famous German company, as if both were very important.

Europe has begun to heal the pain caused by the war, and the world is far from peaceful. As a member of the Axis powers, Japan is still standing firm, clamoring for a decisive battle on the mainland.

Seeing that the Soviet Red Army had gained a firm foothold in Hokkaido, it was not driven into the sea by the Japanese army. The Americans saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts. American soldiers were not as obedient as Soviet soldiers, and the expected casualties were indeed unbearable.

President Truman, who returned to the United States, finally decided to let the Japanese have a taste of the latest achievements of the United States after discussions. At the same time, he also wanted to frighten the Soviets. Only by using nuclear bombs in war can the Soviets calm down.

Conducting experiments in our own country lacks a kind of shock, and now let the Japanese complete this shock.

"We can't wait for the next year to occupy Japan step by step. Once the Soviets put 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 for the United States, Japan and the United States have an unresolved hatred, if the whole world knows that Japan is the initiator of the Pearl Harbor incident, but it will be divided in half by the Soviet Union, the leadership that the United States wants to pursue will disappear.”

"In that case, in the eyes of other countries, the United States is just an ordinary country with money but not a strong military. It can't even defeat Japan, an island country independently. What qualifications does such a country have to lead the world?"

Compared with when he was in Potsdam, President Truman, who has already participated in important international conferences, has undergone a little change in thinking, and has really begun to think about issues with a broader thinking.

"I know the Air Force is ready, let's start!" At the military meeting, Truman made a decisive decision.

The possibility of forcing Japan to surrender can only be pinned on the nuclear bomb, a secret weapon that has just been released.

It was the "509 Group" that dropped the nuclear bomb. For ten months, Team 509, along with other B-29s based at Tinian Island, participated in air raids on Japanese cities.

The only difference is that they still only carry one bomb at a time, and they are required to maintain a certain height each time they drop a bomb; as in the previous training subjects, they are required to hit the bomb accurately and explode within sight.

After actual combat, their technology has been greatly improved, and they are familiar with flying under complex weather conditions. At this time, only one person in the whole group knew why this action was repeated, and he was the leader of the team, Colonel Tibbes.

America's first operational atomic bomb was divided into four parts, transported by three planes and a cruiser to Tinian Island, where they were assembled. It will be dropped by a B-29 bomber numbered eighty-two.

In a short period of time before the atomic bomb was dropped, either for psychological reasons or for other reasons, the well-trained "509 Team" had accidents one after another, and four B-29 bombers were damaged during take-off and landing. or scrapped altogether.

Colonel Tibbes, who received a domestic telegram, announced for the first time that the ten-month training of the "509 Group" was to drop a bomb in Japan, but it was not an ordinary bomb, but an energy equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT. nuclear bomb.

The B-29 bomber will be piloted by Colonel Tibbes, with former pilot Robert Lewis as co-pilot.

No one in the crew knew the structure of the atomic bomb. The technical expert Colonel Persons was ordered to fly randomly. If he failed to complete the mission and was arrested, Persons should commit suicide immediately.

And just before the arrival of the nuclear bomb, the Japanese imperial base was still happy to contain the Soviet Union's Hokkaido offensive.

The Soviets who swept across Europe could not take advantage of Japan, an island country, not to mention the US military, which was not particularly combat-ready. Once the US military landed, it would inevitably be destroyed by the heroic soldiers and civilians of the empire.

The team members who received the domestic military order knew that the next action would be recorded in history. With uncontrollable tension 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 a city of the army. Generations of Japanese soldiers boarded ships from here. During the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the World War, countless men and women of Yamato raced forward 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 that say “Several Lives to Serve the Country and Fight to the Death.” At 7 o’clock in the morning, the dawn falls on the earth, and it can be seen that this is a good weather. At the beginning, many Japanese people had already come out of their homes, looking for all suspicious things to feed their hunger with disheveled faces.

As overseas shipping has been completely cut off, there has been a food shortage problem in various parts of Japan. However, when the country is in crisis, the Japanese people everywhere still grit their teeth and are psychologically prepared to fight the United States to the death.

"Target Hiroshima!" On the B-29 bomber, Colonel Tibbes said the name of the bombed city.

As the distance to the target got closer and closer, the two accompanying escorts could no longer move on, and the rest of the journey belonged to the B-29 bomber named Inoa Gay. At eight o'clock in the morning, the Inoa Gay was approaching Hiroshima.

Colonel Tibbes issued an order that all crew members wear aviation sunglasses to prevent their eyes from being burned by the intense light of the nuclear bomb.

At 8:16 in the morning, the B-29 bomber Enoch Gay over Hiroshima opened its magazine, and the little boy landed with a smile. Immediately, the Enoch Gay accelerated and evacuated Hiroshima as fast as possible. .

A dazzling light appeared over Hiroshima, and countless people in Hiroshima looked up in confusion. This was the last time they saw light in this life, and there would be endless darkness afterwards. Even if they survived by luck, 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.
