At dawn on April 29, 1941, five major cities in the western United States, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose, Salt Lake City, and Tree City, were bombed by the Federal Air Force. A total of 50 bombers dropped over these cities.
200 tons of bombs were dropped, one-third of which were incendiary bombs, and these five cities instantly turned into cities on fire.
San Francisco and Salt Lake City were bombed the most violently. San Francisco was the largest city in the western United States, and it received special attention and was completely being cleaned up. However, Salt Lake City was not a very large city. To be treated like this was entirely due to the impact of the western United States.
Due to the impact of the location of the theater headquarters, it, like San Francisco, is allocated the number of 15 bombers. The other three cities combined have only 20 bombers.
The news that these five cities were bombed appeared in major newspapers in the United States that day. Many American people took to the streets to pray for the Americans who died in these five cities. However, when the newspapers published the next day that the cities were bombed
When photos were taken of the aftermath of the bombing, many residents of eastern and central American cities were outraged.
Citizens in more than a dozen cities have gathered in front of city halls or U.S. government departments to demand that the U.S. government fulfill its duty to protect its own people. There are also some more radical people who are attacking restaurants and factories opened by some Chinese or Asian residents.
They carried out vandalism, but were quickly stopped by the local police.
The U.S. government also immediately condemned the bombing of civilians by the federal military in the South China Sea, and called on the American people to unite more during this difficult time and support the government to win this war. This condemnation of the U.S. government
The federal government in the South China Sea has not responded at all. The two countries have already started fighting, and bombs have been thrown on their heads. There is no point in condemning it. Besides, this air strike was personally ordered by the federal president. What can the federal government say differently?
Opinions, even if they are spoken, can only be applauded.
Liu Fu is very happy about the hostility against Chinese or Asian residents in the United States, because it shows that his strategy has worked, and at least some Americans have given up their original legal concepts because of his temporary anger.
It begins to undermine the original principle of equality.
As long as something like this goes from being special to becoming common, the foundation of the U.S. government will be shaken, and its emphasis on equality and the spirit of freedom protected by the Constitution will be destroyed. At that time, the United States will be no different from other countries.
Those who should be beautiful should be beautiful and those who should be traitors will not be slow to sell at all.
It has to be blown up! This was Liu Fu’s first thought. What a broken place! This was Liu Fu’s second thought after lying on the map for 5 minutes. In addition to these 5 cities, Liu Fu is in Seattle
Within a radius of 1,500 kilometers, there is no other city worth bombing. Even according to the ab-3 bomber's
Calculating the combat radius of 2,500 kilometers, Denver and Albuquerque can at most be added to it. As for Los Angeles and San Diego, there is no need to let the Federal Air Force aircraft toss it around. The Federal aircraft carrier formation that originally withdrew for a few days has returned.
Carrier-based attack aircraft can still accomplish the same mission if they are equipped with bombs.
Within a week, all major cities on the west coast of the United States were bombed. Federal aircraft no longer care whether there are troops below. As long as the city has not surrendered to the federal army, the city may be attacked by federal air force or navy aircraft.
The U.S. Army Air Forces could neither take off at night to intercept those damn federal bombers, nor could they fight against the federal attack aircraft and fighter jets that took off from federal aircraft carriers. Although they also put up a resolute resistance, the final result was the loss of several more aircraft.
Apart from hundreds of fighter jets, nothing has changed.
Faced with this terrible situation in the Western Theater, Commander-in-Chief MacArthur of the Western Theater had to submit his resignation to the U.S. Department of the Army. However, the U.S. Department of the Army and the Department of Defense, including the President of the United States, supported him in continuing to serve in this position because everyone knew
, the deterioration of the war situation in the western region has nothing to do with the theater commander who has just taken office. If another person is replaced who is not familiar with or has insufficient prestige, the situation may be worse.
Originally, there were only a few people in the western United States. When the South China Sea Federation captured Hawaii, some businessmen and wealthy people with a long-term vision had already begun to move to the central and eastern parts of the United States. When the federal army began to feign an attack on San Diego, those residents of the West Coast of the United States who held a wait-and-see attitude
They fled some more. When Seattle was captured, those who still had hope for the US military
Residents once again set off a wave of inward migration, and the remaining people were basically poor people who were unwilling to leave or were really unable to leave. However, after this wave of federal planes bombing the city, even the poorest people,
They all packed up their bedding and started running away. Compared with the fear of a strange environment, death, especially this meaningless death, was really terrible.
Since the beginning of May, all even-numbered highways from the west coast to the central region have become a sea of cars and people (interstate highways in the United States have even numbers in the east-west direction, increasing from north to south, such as Highway 20, north-south
The direction is an odd number, increasing from east to west, such as Highway 15, and the numbering method of highways is basically the same, but the increasing method is opposite.).
Families with cars will put all their belongings in the car and the roof of the car, while families without cars will have adults carrying luggage and holding children, dragging their families towards the east. At night, both sides of the road will
It became their camp, and they didn't know where they were going. They just relied on their instinct to escape danger and headed eastward and eastward.
This has caused great distress to the state governments of the West Coast states and the U.S. government. The local police, National Guard and reserve forces had to deploy a large number of manpower to escort these migrating residents. Otherwise, they may be trapped on those remote roads.
Whatever happened, even if they weren't robbed by robbers, the heat and dry drinking alone on this stretch of highway across Nevada would kill most of the refugees.
Just like an infectious disease, at first it was just residents of the coastal areas of Washington, California, and Oregon who were migrating inland. But they brought this fear to Utah, Arizona, and other places they passed through.
After the residents heard that the city was engulfed in fire and countless people died in the flames and bombings, some people began to run eastward.
The only exceptions are Montana, Idaho, and Nevada, because there are very few residents in these three states. Most of them live in small towns or villages in the mountains and jungles, with a few or more than a dozen households.
Even if it is a town, they have lived here for generations. Not only are they isolated from the world, but they are also deaf to what is happening outside the window. They only focus on growing their own potatoes. If they lose their land, they will lose everything. Therefore, they must die in their hometown.
Although the western coastal areas of the United States have been basically destroyed, the once prosperous San Francisco and Los Angeles have become dead cities, and the military port of San Diego has also become a ruin, the United States as a whole does not feel very uncomfortable.
, because most of the industries in the United States are in the central and eastern regions, the biggest losses are the loss of the Boeing aircraft manufacturing plant in Seattle and the naval base in San Diego.
Only then did the U.S. government truly realize that the war in Europe was not their most important problem. How to prevent the federal army from continuing to advance eastward was the top priority. So the U.S. government began to reduce material aid to the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom.
quantity, began to shift the country's focus to the domestic war.
After this stage of defeat in the battle with the South China Sea Federal Army, the United States also realized that today's war can no longer be won by relying solely on the number of artillery and tanks. Aircraft have gradually become an indispensable weapon in the war.
The U.S. government decided to make up for it by increasing investment in aircraft research, expanding aircraft production lines, and first using quantity to make up for the lack of quality.
On May 5, the U.S. Air Force was established on the basis of the U.S. Army Aviation. As a separate service, it will receive more resources and attention. It is also an important means used by the U.S. government to check and balance federal air superiority. (Unfinished
