It is true that the Allied forces will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, they will only do what is right for heaven.
Facing such a country that has fallen into madness from top to bottom, it is difficult to treat it rationally. After the Allied forces invaded Sasebo, the most important thing they did was to collect the corpses of Japanese who died after being infected with the plague.
Corpse.
It is amazing to say that Japan is a country that loves to study various diseases, but does not invest much energy in virus vaccines. Therefore, the vast majority of Japanese people have not been vaccinated against the plague. As a result, when the plague broke out, nine out of ten houses were empty.
"Aren't the Japanese citizens of Japan? Why is the Japanese government so cruel?" Derek was puzzled. This was on Japanese soil.
Chris sneered and said nothing. Although the Japanese government is cruel, how can the United States be any better?
As I have emphasized many times before, this is a worse world. The United States is just a relatively normal one among many countries that are extremely bad. In essence, it is no different from Japan.
Not to mention, during the Great Depression, the U.S. government would rather watch farmers pour milk into the river than buy it and distribute it to the poor who were about to starve to death. This fully proved the hypocrisy and cruelty of the U.S. government.
It has been almost 12 years since the Great Depression. No one has ever counted how many people in the United States starved to death during the Great Depression.
The New York Times published a set of data stating that 29 people died of starvation in New York and another 110 people died of malnutrition, most of them children.
The start and end times of this data are unknown and cannot represent the real situation in the United States.
Another set of data shows that between 1900 and 1960, the United States' population grew by an average of about 17 million people every ten years, but between 1930 and 1940, the United States only added 9 million people. If we refer to this data, then
During the Great Depression, the number of people in the United States decreased by approximately 8 to 10 million.
If you look at it this way, the Americans really don't have much to deny the qualifications of the Japanese government.
When preparing to return to the city, Chris and Derek both put on gas masks. When entering the city, Chris and Derek discovered that the southern African soldiers patrolling the streets only wore masks.
This is normal. All southern African officers and soldiers participating in Japan's mainland operations have been vaccinated against plague, and non-combat attrition is very small. The East Asia Allied Forces Command is mobilizing vaccines from southern Africa and preparing to vaccinate all US officers and soldiers.
"This place is simply hell, I want to go home-" Derek muttered to himself, causing severe mental damage.
If it was just a war trauma, Derek would still be able to accept it.
But compared with the Southern African Expeditionary Force, the US military has become a second-rate force, which makes Derek very sad.
Southern African soldiers patrolling the streets ride in sturdy armored vehicles and are closely protected in terms of safety.
Derek and Chris only had a sidecar motorcycle, and there was something wrong with the joints. Whenever it started, the joints creaked, and the sidecar vibrated badly. Derek was very suspicious that if there was a violent bump, the car would be damaged.
Will fall apart.
"It's not that serious. This is a hell for the Japanese!" Chris's voice came from behind the gas mask, but it was not very clear.
It is indeed hell.
Just on the street, a dying middle-aged man was struggling. His clothes looked good, but now he couldn't even save himself.
Further on, there were a few homeless people rummaging through the garbage to eat. One guy found half a box of food that looked obviously moldy and stuffed it into his mouth without doing any cleaning. Two people next to him immediately rushed over to grab it.
The three of them rolled into a ball in the garbage pile.
Back at the gate of the station, a few women who looked obviously well-groomed but still couldn't hide their haggard appearance were posing. Their price was very low. You only needed a piece of bread to spend a spring evening with them.
Chris and Derek still needed to be disinfected when they entered the camp. An on-duty officer with a spray came over and sprayed the motorcycle up and down, including the sidecar.
"Does the inside of the mask also need to be disinfected?" Chris smiled, still in a joking mood.
"You can if you want-" The officer on duty was serious and not very satisfied with Chris and Derek's behavior of leaving the station casually.
The entire Sasebo, or the entire Kyushu Island, is now full of plague. In order to reduce the threat, the Allied Command ordered to reduce going out as much as possible. However, there are always people asking for leave for various reasons, so it is difficult to completely ban it.
Angie and MacArthur also had a headache about this problem.
"The soldiers are full of blood and energy, and it is difficult for us to lock them in military camps." MacArthur can only hope that vaccines will be shipped from southern Africa as soon as possible.
To spread the plague virus all over Kyushu Island, the amount required is astronomical. The Allied Command had previously predicted that it would be difficult for the Japanese government to achieve it, so spreading the virus all over Kyushu was more like a threat.
It now appears that the Allies still underestimated Japan's biological capabilities.
"We need to act as soon as possible and continue fighting to prevent more humanitarian tragedies from happening." An Qi wants to skip Kyushu Island and continue her attack northward.
Sprinkle--
Of course, it is impossible. With the biological manufacturing capabilities of southern Africa, it is impossible to produce a plague virus that can spread throughout Japan in a short period of time.
To put it bluntly, even if the Japanese government has this ability, what does it matter? The people who died were not southern Africans anyway.
"Marshal, we now need to re-examine the Olympic plan. With reference to the battle process in Kyushu, our previous prediction may be correct. Continuing to attack will cause us unacceptable losses." MacArthur hesitated slightly. In the previous assessment, the Allies
If the army lands on the Japanese mainland, it may suffer losses of about 2 million people.
The Olympic plan has been revised several times, and in the last evaluation, the loss has dropped to about 200,000 people, which is a range that both Angel and MacArthur can accept.
In fact, 200,000 people are really not many. If Russia attacks Budapest, the total number of casualties is still more than 200,000. This is the whole of Japan.
"Are you scared?" An Qi said it is better to recruit generals than to attack them. Would MacArthur care about the number of casualties?
so amazing!
In essence, MacArthur, like Big Beard and Mustache, are cold-blooded people who regard human life as trivial. They don't care about the number of casualties, but only care about whether they can achieve their goals.
During the Kyushu Campaign, the Allied forces suffered minimal losses in the battle. More than 90% of the attrition was caused by diseases contracted after entering the city.
Among them, the reduction of U.S. military personnel is even more serious.
"How is it possible! The word fear does not exist in my dictionary at all." MacArthur did not admit that he was indeed not afraid and asked for a re-evaluation of the Olympic plan. The only reason was that he was afraid that the US military would suffer too much loss and would not be able to explain it to Congress.
In the winter that just passed, the U.S. military's operations in Europe basically came to a standstill.
The Southern African Expeditionary Force also cooperated with the Russian army on the Eastern Front in the Battle of Budapest. The US military, like the British army, either fished and sunbathed in Italy, or played football and watched movies in France, spending their days leisurely.
After resuming the offensive, the US military's losses in Austria were very small, at least not serious enough to attract the attention of Congress.
Relatively speaking, in all theaters, East Asia suffered more serious losses, which made MacArthur feel very uncomfortable.
Like Eisenhower, MacArthur was not a pure soldier. He had political ambitions, otherwise he would not have gone to the Philippines to become the emperor after World War I.
After the war ended this time, MacArthur still would not be content with being lonely. If he wanted to continue to shine, he must control the casualties of the US military.
"If the war can be ended in a faster and more effective way, it will be more beneficial to us." MacArthur was dancing with his sword, and the re-evaluation was just an excuse.
"What do you mean?" An Qi said calmly. MacArthur's performance was too obvious and he was not strategic at all.
"The meeting in Crimea has ended. If the war cannot be ended in a short time, Russia will transfer its troops from Europe to East Asia. This is definitely something neither you nor I want to see." MacArthur was not in a hurry.
Soon, An Qi finally felt a little uncomfortable.
Angel was also very clear about the process of the Yalta Conference, especially when Russia would join the war in the Far East, which Angel focused on.
One thing to note first is that Angel definitely does not want Russia to return to the Far East.
Of course, it’s not easy to return.
The Siberian Plain covers nearly 10 million square kilometers of land, and Russia's population is less than one million. The standard area is vast and sparsely populated.
Therefore, Big Beard continues to enrich the population into Siberia, on the one hand to reduce Russia's local resistance, and on the other hand to strengthen its control over Siberia.
Big Beard wants to mobilize troops from Europe to the Far East. If there are fewer people, it will be useless. If there are more people, the logistics pressure will be too great. It is difficult to grasp the balance. The preparation time is also long. Even if it starts now, it is estimated that it will not be completed until half a year.
Therefore, the time left for Angel and MacArthur will not exceed half a year.
"How far is your super bomb going?" MacArthur laid the groundwork for the purpose of testing.
"This is not under my control, I am only responsible for using it." An Qi did not deny it, let alone reveal it.
It is impossible to hide a project like the atomic bomb from the Americans. The Americans also know that southern Africa already has the ability to drop super bombs on the battlefield at any time. The key is how many there are.
Unlike all previous weapons, the atomic bomb is so terrifying. As long as Southern Africa possesses it, it will be almost invincible.
In the past, during wars, soldiers were fighting on the front lines, while gentlemen were strategizing in the rear. It seemed thrilling, but in fact there was no risk at all.
With the super bomb, the situation has completely changed. In the past, when facing bombings, dignitaries would hide in air-raid shelters with complete defenses, which was enough to ensure their own safety.
Now all this no longer exists. Everyone is equal before super bombs. If the number of super bombs possessed by Southern Africa reaches a certain level, then even if all countries outside Southern Africa join forces, they will not dare to go to war with Southern Africa.
Therefore, in the decades after World War II, no large-scale war broke out. It was not that people became peace-loving, but that a deterrent balance was achieved in a sense, so people began to exercise restraint.
"Using super bombs to attack Japan's densely populated areas and completely destroy Japan's production capacity is the most effective way to end the war as soon as possible." MacArthur also wanted to see whether the super bombs in southern Africa were really as devastating as the legend says.
land.
Regarding the super bomb, the media in Southern Africa did not report accurately. Only some sporadic news came out. For example, an earthquake occurred on some islands in the South Atlantic at the end of last year, and then the relevant areas were strictly blocked. The outside world had no idea what really happened.
.
Although Southern Africa has always been the focus of American penetration, Americans have never found the right way, so Southern Africa is opaque to the United States.
"Mike, to conquer a country like Japan, super bombs alone are not enough." Another way of expressing Angel's words should be: to punish Japan, super bombs alone are not enough.
The damage caused by the super bomb was always limited, and An Qi wanted to see if the Allied forces continued to attack north, whether the Japanese government would continue to use diseases to block the Allied forces.
It doesn't matter if you block it anyway, An Qi's determination will not change.
"If one is not enough, just two. If southern Africa is not productive enough, we can help!" MacArthur said boldly.
An Qi laughed and waved her hand, "I don't need help with this matter, just slow down."
Later, Angel reported to Pretoria on the progress in the Far East.
The Rock people were still in Yalta and could not see Angel's report in time.
On the last night after leaving Yalta, Roosevelt's condition suddenly worsened. After emergency rescue by the accompanying doctors, although Roosevelt's condition stabilized, he fell into a coma.
In this case, Roosevelt could not leave Yalta by plane at all, but could only leave by warship.
Warships are not good either. Sailing too fast is too bumpy, which is not conducive to the stabilization of Roosevelt's condition, so Rock simply transferred the hospital ship from the Cyprus Squadron to send Roosevelt to Cyprus first, and then decide when to return to the United States depending on the situation.
.
Compared with Yalta, the medical conditions in Cyprus are pretty good.
"The president's condition is very unstable. We didn't get a chance to get close to the president. The medical team around the president is very vigilant -" Yang Shimozi regretted, but was thankful at the same time.
Being inaccessible has the advantage of being inaccessible. At the very least, if President Roosevelt has a problem, it has nothing to do with the doctor Rock sent for consultation. Southern Africa has done its best to provide help to Roosevelt.
"Pray for Mr. President, this is the only thing we can do now." Rock was in a complicated mood. He couldn't remember when Roosevelt died. It seemed like it was this year.
Rock has known Roosevelt for more than ten years since he became president of the United States.
In the past decade or so, although southern Africa and the United States have not been at peace with each other, and proxy wars have even broken out, in general, Roark still respected Roosevelt.
So when Roque learned the news, he felt extremely complicated.
Without Roosevelt, I don’t know where the United States would go.
