Invincible urban management

On the evening of April 1935, 4, the temporary camp of the US military on the beach of Beilun Port, Ningbo

The air strike a few hours ago is long gone.The cutting-edge air power that took off from Zhoushan Island - several Grumman ffsf fighter jets, first easily dispersed the novice Bolshevik pilots, and then aggressively drove straight into the inland, attempting to attack the enemy's ground airport, until they were beaten to death They fled back in pieces—but in this crude port, there are still traces of war everywhere.On the shore stood the ruins of houses that were torn apart, and in the shallow water lay an upturned ship, and most of the trestle was burned, leaving only charred stumps.

Although the situation in the port is so dire, groups of Kuomintang military and political officials, as well as landowners and local tyrants in Ningbo and other places, still dragged their children and children to guard here, enduring the harassment of enemy planes and routs, waiting I don't know when the ferry will arrive... There is thick smoke billowing in the dilapidated village in the distance, and there are sporadic gunshots. I don't know if the Kuomintang army is exchanging fire with the Red Army guerrillas, or it is simply burning, killing and looting.

Fortunately, the distance from Beilun Port to Zhoushan Island is relatively short. It only takes two or three hours for a small steamer to go back and forth, and even a rowboat can barely make do.If it's the closer Jintangshan Island, it's just within sight, and you just need to get a big bathtub to row over...

Due to the shortage of ferries, the captain took the opportunity to extort high prices. Some of the defeated soldiers who thought they were good at water simply jumped into the sea and swam towards Jintangshan Island on the opposite bank.But more routs like to grab the ferry by force with the barrels in their hands.They even looted refugees, causing a commotion on the pier.

A small number of U.S. troops also held guns near the trestle of the pier, trying in vain to maintain order.But in the face of these chaotic human rights that do not understand the language, they can only use bullets to suppress the riots.Some of these corrupt guys simply joined the criminal ranks of robbing refugees...

It wasn't until he commanded the soldiers to extinguish the fire caused by the bombing that Colonel Whitney dragged his exhausted body to his temporary camp.

There was a scent in the air of the camp, and several soldiers built a small stove on the beach, stewing something to eat on it.Colonel Whitney suddenly felt really hungry.

When he went into his tent and settled for a folding chair, the orderly handed him an aluminum lunch box.The lunch box was filled with sticky hot porridge mixed with many pieces of meat, "...sir, the original camp has been burned down, and the new field kitchen has not been built yet. I can only ask you to make do with it." The orderly is so sorry explain. "...This is the assorted cream porridge that we stew with bacon, canned cheese and ground military biscuits. Try it. Although it doesn't look very good, it still tastes very good."

"... Let the brothers have a good rest, no need to build any more field kitchens! According to the latest order of the Fleet Command, we will only stick to this beach for one day, and we will retreat to Zhoushan Island to rest tomorrow morning. So just gather whatever you want Just fill your stomach with something..."

Colonel Whitney waved his hand weakly, "...According to wireless telegrams and aerial reconnaissance, the troops of the Chinese Bolsheviks have already entered the urban area of ​​Ningbo, not far from here... Alas, we obviously haven't seen the enemy yet, If you want to run away without a fight, what kind of thing is that!"

Colonel Whitney sighed as he tried this poorly presented mixed cream porridge. It tasted a little salty and milky, but it felt really good on the tongue.

The orderly handed him another piece of bread. This piece of whole-wheat bread, which he got somewhere, was a bit rough, but it had just been toasted. It was not only buttered, but also fried sausage slices. It was delicious to eat when he was hungry. It's really delicious.

After a good dinner on the battlefield, there was a cup of hot black tea, although the taste of black tea was not to Colonel Whitney's taste - like most Americans, he also prefers coffee - but, Bathed in the warm spring breeze and the gorgeous sunset, drinking hot black tea, watching the undulating sea in the evening light, this strange world seems to become more comfortable.

However, as soon as he heard the scattered gunfire and explosions in the distance, Colonel Whitney felt his good mood was ruined.

"...Today...it should be April Fool's Day! Heck, what happened today is like an April Fool's Day joke that people can't laugh out loud! Poor old Foster is dead, and the troops in front All crushed! As soon as my regiment came ashore, it had to face the humiliation of defeat, and was bombarded by Bolshevik planes before it could even see an enemy with its own eyes...”

Recalling today's encounters, Colonel Whitney murmured to himself, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, "...before setting off from China, the people above said that China is just a backward and semi-civilized country, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Yes. We are just here to suppress a group of rebellious ignorant natives. With our advanced weapons, we only need to deal with them like Indians... But the result? We were bombed by planes as soon as we landed, and the enemy's guerrillas all Equipped with submachine guns! I heard they also released poison gas! This reminds me of the French trenches in the World War era!"

Seeing that the officer was upset, the soldiers below naturally became more silent, but the colonel's trusted adjutant laughed heartlessly, "... Hehe, officer, you are right! What we encountered today and What I saw, it really looks like the world played us an April Fool's Day joke. Those bastards in the headquarters responsible for collecting intelligence should be shot! But, speaking of April Fool's Day... Sir, you should really listen to China Those Bolshevik English broadcasts are even more ridiculous! Do they think of themselves as God?"

While talking and laughing like this, the adjutant took off his earphones and turned on the speaker, "...Listen, they are playing again..."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

At the same moment, on the vast land of China.All the radios that were listening to the People's Broadcasting Station of the Shanghai Soviet Government suddenly became silent, which made the audience who were already somewhat accustomed to listening to this program.Can't help but be taken aback.

Then, as time passed, an indescribable pressure and fear began to spread slowly with the silence, seeping into the heart.

After an unknown amount of time, a deep, magnetic male voice slowly sounded from the radio speaker:

"...the darkness of ignorance and hypocrisy. Still envelopes this world!

I swear, starting today, I will fight for the truth!

I will not be religious, delusional, or confused.I will pierce the hypocritical masks of all exploiters, and do my duty faithfully until my death!

I am the seeder of civilization and science, and the preacher of democracy and progress.

I am the torch that banishes superstition.I am the scythe that removes ignorance.

I am the hammer that breaks the shackles, I am the guardian of all mankind!

I dedicate my life and glory to the greatest belief in scientific communism,

This is true today and every day! ! "

——The words are so contagious, through this low-pitched recitation, listeners sitting in front of the radios all over the country couldn't help but hold their breath. They seemed to see the fusion of steel, flames and blood, as if they heard countless revolutionary sages echoes of their roars.As if being shocked and agitated by the lightning that tore through the black clouds, as if seeing countless pairs of unyielding and powerful arms suddenly surging out of the dead and silent cemetery... no matter how dark the age is.The longing for fairness, happiness and freedom has never died in everyone's heart!

Then, the previous low-pitched male voice disappeared, and the clear voice full of high-spirited passion appeared again on the radio, the vice-chairman of the Shanghai Soviet Government, Ms.

"... Listeners in front of the radio, people who are suffering all over China, unite! The final decisive battle has come!

For many years, our glorious Red Army of Chinese Workers and Peasants has been fighting for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!

We want to steal the fire from the heavens for mortals!

We, let the light drive away the dust in the world! !

We want to plant red flags all over the world! ! !

Today, we will wage a glorious and desperate war!

Because our enemy is the entire capitalist world!

Today, we will wage a great and bright war!

Because our allies are the working people all over the world!

Those imperialist invaders who have invaded the territory of China, whether they are Japanese, British, French or Americans, please listen carefully!

Because of your wanton atrocities, a ghost from hell has come to this world!

And you, the dirty blood of all imperialist exploiters, will stain this specter red!

fear!

Your high days are over!

cheer!

Your untold crimes have been forgiven!

Then... all die! !Because the world would be a better place without you! ! !

Here, in the name of the Red Army of Chinese Workers and Peasants, I solemnly issue an ultimatum to all imperialist aggressors who dare to invade the sacred territory of the Chinese nation. Tomb-sweeping day is especially late), and leave our land forever with the army.Otherwise, we will let the most brutal destruction befall you!Don't say it's unexpected! "

Next, after a moment of silence, another round of repetition of the above content began on the radio.

——Obviously, the US military officers and soldiers on the beach of Beilun Port in Ningbo would only sneer at such bluff threats.Colonel Whitney, who was in a bad mood, even spit on the ground and scolded "bragging bitch".

However, as the recitator of this magnificent declaration of the second-level explosion, Ms. "Red Princess" Kinchina knows very well that the so-called "cruelest destruction" is not some self-defeating April Fool's joke, but a certain horror fact.

——In less than a week, a hydrogen bomb with an equivalent of 2000 million tons of TNT will be detonated over Japan in this time and space!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"... Comrades, I think this matter has to be discussed again! If the imperialist aggressors reject our ultimatum, um. It should be said that they will definitely reject our ultimatum. Are we really going to drop hydrogen bombs on Japan? Is it? Although we all hate the Japanese, but..."

After finishing the recording of the broadcast.Jin Qina asked hesitantly, "...the equivalent of 2000 million tons of explosives! That's equivalent to [-] times the power of the Hiroshima atomic bomb! Even if it's a wartime, it's inevitable for us to cause such a catastrophe all at once. A little too much!"

However, to Jin Qina's disappointment, even Professor Yang, whom she considers the most moral, expressed support for "Nuclear Japan".

"...Comrade Kimchina. Please remember that you are not living in the 21st century, which emphasizes humanitarianism, but on the eve of the Second World War, where the weak prey on the strong and the sea of ​​corpses! The international community in this era is extremely cruel and ruthless. Weak and Backward nations have no way out!"

Professor Yang explained, "...the wormhole connecting the two worlds has been maintained for a year. Next, it will be a year or two at most. The wormhole will be closed in a few months. There will be no industrial production capacity in the modern world. The Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army, which has already severely offended the imperialist powers, how to deter the enemy’s aggression? How to deal with itself when surrounded by powerful enemies? No matter how you look at it, it can only rely on strategic nuclear deterrence Already!"

"... Even if it is strategic nuclear deterrence, there is no need to really drop hydrogen bombs on densely populated areas! Wouldn't it be enough to find a deserted island with few people and blow it up, and show off your muscles to the imperialists all over the world? Wouldn't it be enough for the Japanese to invade a country? A country with nuclear weapons?" Jin Qina replied, "... You can say that I am too soft-hearted, but as a woman, I still think that the demon of nuclear weapons should not be released..."

"...Uh. Comrade Jinqina, you don't seem to understand. What exactly is strategic nuclear deterrence? In my opinion, one is that you have nuclear weapons in your hands, the other is that you have the determination to use nuclear weapons in war, and the third is that You have to convince your opponent that you dare to use your nuclear weapons in war!"

Speaking of this, Professor Yang shrugged his shoulders, "...and in this era when nuclear weapons have not yet been invented, one more thing must be added, that is, you must let everyone understand that nuclear weapons really have the power to destroy the world on the battlefield. Power! If the United States at the end of World War II only carried out an atomic bomb test in the desert of its homeland, but did not drop two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, do you think Japan would surrender unconditionally?

If the enemy feels that you are not determined to use nuclear weapons, then no matter how many nuclear bombs you have in your hands, you will not be able to scare anyone, and you will only be coveted by others—in the hands of cowards who have never seen blood. Even with the dragon-slaying sword, it can't scare any little hooligan!

Therefore, unless Japan's elite hinterland is blown up, or the Japanese bleed dry, there is no way to stop the determination of the Japanese militarists to invade China-they dare to launch such a deadly Pacific War, and Where would one be afraid of a nuclear bomb of unknown power?If you want them to give up aggression against China, it is like asking them to give up all their dreams and hopes since the Meiji Restoration! "

"...Moreover, the General Staff also hopes to observe the actual destruction effect of a tens of millions of tons equivalent nuclear explosion on the city. The ready-made city target is not easy for us to deal with. We want to build a one-off at the Lop Nur test site. A city model, that would cost too much..."

Wang Qiu also interjected, "...Big Sister Jin, do you still remember the mass grave in your hometown in Fushun? We are just fighting an eye for an eye!"

"...but there is a narrow strip of water between China and Japan. After the nuclear explosion in Japan, we will also be adversely affected!" Jin Qina is still struggling.

"...Of course there is an impact, but we are still separated from Japan by the East China Sea. At best, there will be a little bit of nuclear radiation and a tsunami! Uh, at most, there will be an electromagnetic pulse accompanied by a nuclear explosion, which may paralyze Just drop the radio equipment in the entire East China."

Senior Ma Tong said nonchalantly, "...Compared with the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood that the Japanese invaded China, this little thing is nothing to worry about!"

——Nuclear radiation and tsunami are trivial matters?Uh, well, compared to the life and death of the Anti-Japanese War, this trouble is really not a big deal.

Alas, I can no longer look directly at this cruel world... Jin Qina finally knows how kind a literary and artistic young woman like herself is.

Compared with these guys who regard throwing nuclear bombs as if they were setting off firecrackers, what a pure, beautiful, kind, lovely, and moral woman I am!

Jin Qina, whose three views had been refreshed again, sighed, and lit 44 candles in her heart for the Japanese civilians who were about to die in the nuclear explosion, then turned around and opened her notebook, and began to prepare for the next lecture of today's "Currency War" radio program...

……

All in all, the ultimatum issued by the Shanghai Soviet government on April Fool's Day was completely regarded as an April Fool's Day joke by European and American powers.The embassies of various countries in China and the headquarters of the expeditionary force simply didn't even bother to give a reply to this.

What is even more embarrassing is that the Japanese "South China Expeditionary Force" who had been stranded in Nanjing for a month finally left their temporary home on April 4 under the repeated urging of the United States and Britain, as well as the fierce demands of young officers. The garrison launched a fierce attack on the southern Red Army on the front line of Taihu Lake!

——The confrontation of the Shanghai Soviet regime with "no war on the western front" has finally come to an end.

Next, the arrogant Japanese army who brazenly attacked Suzhou, Yixing and other places suffered a head-on blow that made them unbelievable... (To be continued...)
