My own war game

Chapter 324 Rest (Part )
On August 1945, 8, US President Harry Truman delivered a televised speech

"16 hours ago, one of our US military aircraft dropped a bomb over Kokura City, an important military base in Japan. The power of this bomb is equivalent to more than 20000 tons of TNT..."

"This bomb is called an atomic bomb. We have created this weapon using the fundamental forces of the universe. It draws its power from the workings of the sun and unleashes its might on the invaders who are wreaking havoc in the Far East..."

"In 1942, we learned that the Germans were tirelessly searching for ways to use atomic weapons in the field of warfare and to enslave the world. But they were defeated by our powerful blows... Now we have won the battle of science, as well as the battle of land, sea and air."

"On July 7, we issued an ultimatum in Potsdam in the hope of saving the Japanese people from the fate of complete destruction, but the Japanese leaders rejected our ultimatum without hesitation. Since they do not accept our conditions, they should be prepared to face an unprecedented and devastating rain of bombs from the US military!"

The above content is not much different from the text in another time and space, except that Hiroshima is replaced by Kokura. But at the end of the speech, Truman added a completely different sentence:

"We can release atomic energy, which shows that human beings have a new understanding of natural forces, but it is still dangerous. After the war against Japan is over, we will carefully keep such weapons. Here, I also call on countries or individuals who may master atomic bombs in the future to treat this weapon that can change the destiny of mankind with more caution."

After the speech, the entire Allied Powers were immersed in the inspiration of victory and curiosity about the atomic bomb. Major newspapers reprinted President Truman's speech. However, no one noticed that the last sentence of the speech actually had a profound meaning.

Washington, D.C. Special meeting at the President's residence.

Unlike his high-spirited speech on TV, Truman's face was dark at this moment.

"Gentlemen, we detonated another atomic bomb in Hiroshima yesterday. The process went smoothly and no unexpected situations occurred again." Truman emphasized the word "emergency".

Marshall, who was standing by, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

Truman glared at him and said, "Well, now the question we face is, where is that guy? Can he understand the meaning of the last sentence of our speech?"

The staff around looked at each other in silence, and finally it was William Joseph Donovan, director of the Office of Strategic Services, who spoke first.

"Mr. President, the little girl we lost probably weighs 2 tons. It is difficult to threaten a large city without using strategic bombers. Maybe the situation is not that bad."

"You seem to think the problem is too simple," said FBI Director Hoover. "We still don't know how the other party moved the two-ton bomb without any lifting equipment. This also means that the other party may have means of retaliation."

"Revenge against the United States? Even if we count the British government behind him, this is impossible." MacArthur, who was temporarily called back to the country to attend the meeting, sneered.

"The British government probably hasn't received the news yet." Hoover took out a document and put it on the table. "Menzies from the British MI6 just asked us through informal channels why we detained their intelligence officers in Japan. I sounded him out and he seemed to be completely unaware of the Kokura incident."

"This means that the 007 is in an isolated position in the whole incident, in other words, he may not know the position of the British government."

The head of the FBI looked at the front of the conference room and said, "Mr. President, we suggest that the British side can make a statement and let 007 separate from them." "Will the British compromise?" Truman asked.

"Honestly, I think they have no choice. Of course, we can be more tactful in diplomatic rhetoric, and even sacrifice some interests."

"Choose between an ace agent or a powerful ally. I believe the British will make a wise choice." Donovan concluded confidently.

"Well, now is the last question. What is the other party's attitude towards us? Will there be any retaliatory actions in the near future?" This is the issue that Truman is most concerned about.

At this time, the lowest-ranking person in the conference room, Mr. Evans Carlson, who had just been recalled and promoted to major general, took out a small box from his arms and said to Truman:

"They were salvaged from the plane, Mr. President, maybe that was his answer."

The box was placed flat on the table, with three medals representing the highest honors in the United States lying inside one by one. But without exception, each medal had a deep scratch in the middle.
-
On August 1945, 8, one week after the United States dropped the second atomic bomb, Japanese Emperor Hirohito broadcast to the whole of Japan, accepting the Potsdam Declaration, implementing unconditional surrender and ending the war.

In the same year, the division of the Japanese occupied areas was completed, and the Allied General Headquarters in Japan, led by the US military, controlled almost all areas except the northern islands, and began a seven-year rule.

Three months after the end of the war, a provisional government was established, with Prince Toshihiko Higashikuni as Prime Minister and a provisional cabinet formed.

In this cabinet formation, the New Japan National Army, as a political force that had always followed the Allied Forces, was given a big piece of the pie, accounting for almost two-fifths of the cabinet members.

There was an episode in which the two major forces in the National Founding Army, which were already at loggerheads with each other, did not produce any friction during the cabinet formation process. After winning most of the seats, the pro-American "Aoki faction" took the initiative to reserve 10% of the seats for the pro-British "Fan Guo faction".

The US troops stationed there, who had originally planned to completely control the cabinet, seemed to have some reservations and acquiesced to the development of the above events.

In the following years, the New Japan National Army was in a state of balance of "fighting but not breaking". While the two sides excluded each other, they tacitly did not use extreme means, so that even the officials who failed in the struggle spent the rest of their lives in peace. Among them was the later Osaka Prefecture Police Chief - Mr. Watanabe.

The US Strategic Intelligence Office, which had completed its mission at the end of 1945, was disbanded, and the US Central Intelligence Agency began to prepare. During this process, the US military provided a large amount of intelligence to its ally Britain, and after the two sides exchanged internal resources, they organized frequent personnel exchanges.

In the same year, after being under house arrest for a month, Jima finally returned to London with the mediation of the British government.

A few days later, Miss Christine, who was living in seclusion in Nottinghamshire, received several visitors.
