The Chinese army tenaciously withstood the German offensive. Then the United States and Britain mobilized a large number of backup forces to completely defeat the German army that rushed into the Ardennes region. Germany's last bit of mobility had completely disappeared. The Third Reich that had swept across Europe in the past had
It has become meat on the chopping board.
The Allied forces and the Soviet Union were attacking from east to west, and both had entered Germany's homeland. At this point in the war, Germany's fate was already obvious. There was only one way to die. At this time, the most active people in attacking Germany were the Soviets, and Stalin personally appointed his confidants.
With Zhukov as the commander-in-chief, the Soviet Union's steel torrent rushed deep into Germany with unparalleled momentum.
Roosevelt was not a fool. As soon as he saw Stalin's actions, he already guessed that the Russian master wanted to grab as many benefits as possible. The greed shown by the Soviet Union made Roosevelt feel a pressure. If the United States wants to lead the world, it must
We must use strong deterrence. Without strength, how can we make other countries obey us?
Therefore, Roosevelt became more determined to use the atomic bomb. He issued an ultimatum to Germany, demanding that Hitler and his Nazi party must surrender unconditionally, otherwise they would taste catastrophe. After the United States issued this kind of deterrence, ordinary people could only
I thought it was just a harsh word, but senior figures in various countries didn't think so.
Stalin had long known about the U.S. atomic bomb plan, and Stalin had ordered Russian scientists to start research on atomic bombs. Due to the devastation of the war, it was not realistic for the Soviet Union to quickly develop an atomic bomb, but it did not mean that the Soviet Union did not know about this weapon.
.
I am afraid that the United States has already mastered this weapon, so the pressure on Stalin's shoulders is very heavy. China's top leaders are relatively relaxed. China has actually mastered the atomic bomb before the United States, and China has already built five atomic bombs, so no matter what,
China can sit firmly on Diaoyutai.
In fact, Germany also conducted some research. Therefore, after the United States issued an ultimatum, top German officials also doubted whether the United States had mastered atomic weapons. However, Hitler was still very stubborn. He firmly opposed surrender to the Allies and demanded that the German army fight to the death.
Resist and don't be intimidated by big words.
Things had reached this point. The Americans were on the verge of launching a bomb. After transporting the atomic bomb to Western Europe, a B29 Super Flying Fortress carried an atomic bomb codenamed Little Boy and flew to Frankfurt, an important southern town in Germany.
A mushroom cloud immediately rose over Frankfurt. Due to the relatively flat terrain of southern Germany and the lack of effective barriers, this atomic bomb produced extraordinary lethality. The entire five-kilometer radius of Frankfurt's city center was reduced to rubble.
Two hundred thousand people died directly from the atomic bomb explosion, and more than 150,000 people were contaminated by nuclear radiation.
In addition, a large number of people who come to the rescue have no common sense in protecting themselves. Their skin is exposed to radiation, and most of these people will also suffer from cancer and other diseases. And this effect can last for decades, leaving painful memories.
This is the first time that nuclear weapons have been put into actual combat. The terrifying effect has simply stunned the world. Everyone is completely shocked by the power of nuclear weapons. One bomb can wipe out a city. If there are dozens of such bombs,
It's enough to wipe a country off the face of the earth.
People within the Nazi Party were also completely stunned. They did not expect that the United States would actually turn this kind of weapon that only existed in theory into reality. Germany actually also hoped to master this kind of weapon, but Hitler's wrong judgment
This caused Germany to miss the opportunity for German nuclear weapons.
In one thought, Germany was about to suffer an unprecedented catastrophe. After the Americans dropped the first atomic bomb, they immediately issued a statement to Germany. The United States still had a large number of atomic weapons. If Germany did not surrender as soon as possible, the next atomic bomb would be dropped.
to Berlin, Germany, and even the whole of Germany will be wiped out from the entire world.
Just two days after the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Frankfurt, the United States dropped another plutonium bomb on Dortmund. This time Germany was prepared and the population was evacuated quickly, but there were still more than 100,000 casualties.
At this moment, Qiao Yu suddenly issued a statement in Beijing, announcing that China had also mastered the atomic bomb, and published photos of China's atomic bomb experiments in the northwest.
In the statement, Qiao Yu said sincerely that the atomic bomb is a weapon that spans the ages. Its huge lethality gives nuclear weapons special value. The use of this weapon must be cautious and careful. Its rash use is a crime against the entire human race. As China
A peace-loving country will never use nuclear weapons easily. But at the same time, Qiao Yu also pointed out that if the Nazis are still stubborn, China will have to follow the United States and use nuclear weapons to launch a nuclear attack on Germany!
The United States has mastered nuclear weapons, which is acceptable to everyone, but when China mastered such weapons, it was like a bolt from the blue. China’s nuclear weapons program has always been kept strictly confidential and has not communicated with any country at all.
, the world does not even know whether China has a nuclear weapons program, but now that China has suddenly taken out nuclear weapons, how can it not shock everyone?
But the ones who were most shocked were the Nazis. The U.S. atomic bombs had already frightened them. Now that China has such weapons, can Germany still survive?
After Hitler knew that China's nuclear weapons were real, he knew that Germany had no chance of winning, so he hid in his wolf's den, burned himself with gasoline and died. The Nazi Propaganda Minister Goebbels and his family all committed suicide.
The top leaders of the party also chose to commit suicide, while some people represented by Göring took the initiative to declare unconditional surrender. This world war that had lasted for more than five years finally ended.
These five years have also been an earth-shaking five years. The entire world has changed drastically. As a major country that has mastered nuclear weapons like the United States, China's status has suddenly become prominent. China participated in the joint occupation of Germany and obtained a considerable amount of military equipment from Germany.
Industrial technology, and because the United States used nuclear weapons against Germany, many Nazi scientists became disgusted with the United States. China, which also possessed nuclear weapons, was more cautious about the use of nuclear weapons and did not use them at will. Many Nazi scientists chose to serve China.
.
China's industrial and technological capabilities have made another huge leap forward. Of course, due to the distance problem, the United States and the Soviet Union each still got the largest share. It is also worth mentioning that the Franco regime in Spain was also overthrown. In fact, regardless of the fact that
Lango was an out-and-out dictator, but in Spain under his rule, people's lives were still good. However, due to the Soviet Union's strong advocacy and China's support, the United States and Britain had to make concessions and support the Spanish opposition.
Take down Franco.
Spain, which lost Franco, quickly fell into political chaos and became the country with the worst economic situation in Western Europe.
The fascist regime was cleaned up, followed by trials of war criminals. The Allies established two tribunals, the Nuremberg Tribunal and the Tokyo Tribunal. The Nuremberg Tribunal was led by the United States and the Soviet Union, while the Tokyo Tribunal was led by China and the United States.
In this trial, the Allied forces determined a total of three crimes, including war crimes, crimes against peace and crimes against humanity.
According to the crime, war criminals are internationally divided into three categories, namely Class A, Class B and Class C. The so-called Class B and Class C war criminals refer to those who committed prisoner abuse in violation of the Hague International Convention during World War II.
War criminals who commit crimes such as massacre of civilians and robbery. Among them, the officers who command and supervise are Class B war criminals, while the soldiers and non-commissioned officers who carry out the tasks are Class C war criminals.
Class A war criminals are war criminals who have committed the crime of destroying peace, that is, launching, planning, preparing, and starting a strategic war with or without a declaration of war, as well as a war that violates international law, treaties, agreements, and oaths, and participating in the achievement of the above.
Personnel who plan and plan actions. This type of people are actually high-level personnel, including Emperor Hirohito, successive prime ministers, Konoe Fumimaro, Tojo Hideki, Koiso Kuniaki and others, as well as Doihara Kenji, Matsui Iwane, etc.
, Umezu Yoshijiro, Suzuki Kantaro, Tsuji Masanobu and other military generals and staff members.
China added two more charges during the Tokyo trial, namely, supporting war crimes and mass murder. This was mainly targeted at those plutocratic forces. In fact, they have always been staunch supporters of aggressive wars, and they also plundered from the war.
A lot of benefits have been obtained and must be punished.
As for the crime of mass murder, it is mainly because Japan organized and premeditated large-scale massacres of indigenous people in Nanyang and other regions. In more than ten years, more than 15 million indigenous people died at the hands of the Japanese. This kind of
This behavior objectively cleared the way for China to control Nanyang, but China would not put its gratitude in words and let them go. Moreover, China's not using nuclear weapons against Japan was already the greatest mercy.
In addition, China's definition of crimes against peace has also been expanded. Those literati who firmly advocate aggression and expansion and scholars who are willing to do reactionary propaganda for the Japanese government have also been included in the category of war criminals.
China has arrested more than 30,000 war criminals in total. In addition, according to China's instructions, all soldiers and officers who participated in the war of aggression must perform hard labor to wash away their sins, even if they have no clear war crimes.
Americans also hate the Japanese deeply, so the public also supports China's attitude of thorough cleanup. American politicians such as Roosevelt are not willing. Roosevelt is worried that once China's treatment is followed, Japan's backbone will be completely destroyed.
It was shattered, and there was no power left to check and balance China in the Western Pacific.
Roosevelt's worries were justified, but his body had already turned on the red light. Just four months after Germany accepted its surrender, Roosevelt died in office. Vice President Truman was lucky enough to take over. In order to gain the support of the people, Roosevelt
, immediately demanded that the Japanese war criminals be dealt with harshly and avenge the American citizens killed and injured in Hawaii.
Soon Emperor Hirohito was sent to the gallows, along with more than 40 people including Tojo Hideki. Japanese history opened a new page, and world history also entered a new era. (Unfinished)
