#54. Where are the innocent Japanese?

“How far has the development of the atomic bomb progressed?”

You have to use one foot somehow.

However, if LeMay had taken advantage of the enormous advantage of Daegu Airfield and bombed it, Japan could have surrendered before then.

This is because these Stone Age maniacs originally caused damage to Japan through incendiary bombings that were several times greater than the damage from the atomic bomb.

“The uranium bomb is almost complete. However, plutonium is a bit more difficult, so it will likely take more time.”

“Hmm, I thought so.”

Lee Kang-cheol looked slightly worried.

Because suggesting it first is a foolish thing to do.

And as expected, Roosevelt had a sweet body.

This is because the project, in which nearly $2 billion was invested, still could not be guaranteed to be 100% successful.

“It would be nice if your country could help us a little…”

“Well, it’s a bit difficult to make a deal when it comes to atomic bombs. This was the same in the future as well. In any country, technology related to atomic bombs was subject to strict control. “It was especially severe in the United States.”

“I guess so. But isn’t this a state of emergency? Moreover, the United States and the Republic of Korea are virtually on the same boat.”

“Of course, but I’m still a little hesitant.”

“Uh-huh! Don’t do that, just say what you want. We, the United States, will soon complete the atomic bomb even without your help. All we need is a clue and verification for the final hurdle. I’m sure the General knows this too, right?”

In short, when you feel sorry for the United States, sell it at a reasonable price.

As time passes, there will be no more regrets.

“Then I can’t help it. “What would you like to give me?”

“Tell me what you need.”

“Material support has been provided. “You promised to support it anyway.”

“Ugh! then?”

“Please give me money.”

“Ha, how much?”

“Well, about $3 billion…”

“That’s not possible. Too expensive.”

“Is it worth more than that?”

“But it’s still too expensive. Even so, there is a lot of talk about the $5 billion support issue. “Let’s make it 1 billion dollars.”

“2.5 billion dollars!”

“expensive.”

“Two billion dollars!”

“I will give you $1 billion next year, and $1 billion the year after, in 1947. “It will take time to use up the last $5 billion, so that will be enough.”

“I can’t help it. As the President said, we are in the same boat, so I will do it. However, please consult with us when bombing Japan. “I will recommend a good spot.”

“I will do that. Anyway, thank you. “Then when will you give me the data?”

“I’ll give it to you before I leave.”

“yes? “Did you bring it with you?”

“Hum hum, I brought it as a file just in case.”

“What is a file?”

“This refers to digitally processed information. “I brought a printer, so I’ll print it for you.”

“Did you also bring a printing machine on board the plane?”

“That is nothing in the 21st century.”

“Huh…”

Roosevelt felt a bit cheated, but he still thought it wasn’t a bad deal.

Although it was given at a high price, as Lee Kang-cheol said, it will be worth more than that.

“I will also print out precautions for developing atomic bombs, so tell them to be careful when developing them.”

“Oh, is there something like that?’”

“of course. In the early days of the development of the atomic bomb, the United States often suffered unnecessary exposure to radiation due to lack of knowledge. “It will help prevent it.”

“haha! Thank you.”

Only then did Roosevelt’s face straighten.

Once the story about the atomic bomb was over, the rest went smoothly.

After delivering Roosevelt’s medicine, Dr. Ilhan came the next time and decided to select an appropriate American partner company to produce several medicines, including blood pressure medicine, under license in the United States.

Of course, you will get paid a lot of money.

“And I have something to ask for your understanding.”

“What is it?”

“I would like you to allow one person to tell me more about the identity of the General.”

“Who is that?”

“Marshal George Marshall.”

“ah···.”

“Marshal’s cooperation is absolutely necessary to send supplies to your country and continue to provide support, but we are both very tired if you ask us to unconditionally send supplies to Korea.”

“I know what you mean. “If you are Marshal Marshall, there is nothing you can do.”

Marshal Marshall, the god of logistics and supply.

They must have been extremely tired as they kept ordering him to send supplies to Korea without even telling them the English language.

Lee Kang-cheol was a man who absolutely needed cooperation in order to receive support from the United States even after the end of the war, to the point where he even thought he had made a mistake in telling them to tell him earlier.

If done well, Korea could have been included in the Marshall Plan.

“haha! Thank you for your understanding.”

“It was nothing. But is it possible to make them understand with words?”

“That’s why I accompanied you this time. So, look at that video…”

“All right.”

In the evening, Marshall greeted Lee Kang-cheol and watched the video in question.

And he promised to support Korea without hesitation in the future.

February 19, 1945.

A few more days had passed since Lee Kang-cheol and his group returned to Korea.

Wooooow!

The B-29 bomber squadrons that had been bombing Japan at Daegu Airfield began to return.

Pudadadadadak! Squeak!

As the crew disembarked from the B-29 bomber that had taken the lead, one person strangely jumped out in particular.

He had a cigar in his mouth and looked like he was going to punch someone in the face at any moment, and his rank insignia had two stars.

It was Director Curtis LeMay, the famous Stone Age enthusiast.

He was appointed commander of the 21st Bomber Command a few days ago, and today he completed a bombing mission by riding in the co-pilot’s seat of the lead aircraft.

“George!”

“Yes, Commander!”

“Ask all flight commanders and above to gather in the conference room!”

“You mean immediately?”

“immediately! “I now know why the accuracy rate is so bad.”

“All right.”

After a while, the flight commanders gathered in the headquarters conference room, and when they were all together, LeMay climbed up onto the stage, chewing on a cigar.

“When I personally bombed it today, I realized why the accuracy rate was such an asshole.”

“…”

“No, wouldn’t it be even weirder if the damn jet stream was that strong and it hit? “Yeah, isn’t it?”

“That’s right.”

“But why did you keep bombing from high altitude like an idiot? With that much jet stream, the Norden bombsight is just trash! “It’s not Norden, even if Grandpa Norden comes, he won’t be able to guess!”

“…”

The squadron commanders began to become increasingly anxious.

That crazy guy boarded the bomber himself as a commander, and now he’s barking out orders to do some crazy thing.

“That’s why we are changing our strategy starting today.”

“yes? “How?”

“What’s wrong? “If the jet stream interferes with bombing, isn’t it a problem to just fly under the jet stream and bomb?”

“Well, if you fly that low, you’ll get hit by the Japanese air defense fighters and anti-aircraft guns!”

“Stop talking nonsense! “If you fall down, your nose will touch, so you can be escorted by a Mustang, right?”

“Nonsense···.”

“Why doesn’t it make sense? Okay! And from the next bombing, the bombs will be changed to incendiary bombs. There are so many wooden houses, why do they use ordinary bombs like idiots? In Japan, incendiary bombs are the best, the best!”

“If such a thing were to be done, the casualties of Japan’s innocent civilians would be enormous. “Please reconsider.”

“What kind of idiot is this?”

“yes?”

“Where are the innocent Japanese in an all-out war? “Where can you find something like that?”

“No, but still…”

“Noisy! Did we invade? It was Japan that invaded! And innocent civilians? You sound like an innocent civilian. listen carefully! The Japanese production methods are different from ours. This means that they have a lot of home-made crafts. Let’s take an example. The Suzuki’s make No. 64 bolts, and the Harunobo family next door makes No. 64, No. 65 or No. 63 nuts, and other miscellaneous items. All the neighbors. Then, Mr. Kitagawa comes out of the factory, pulls a cart, takes his parts to the factory, assembles the Zero-Sen fighter plane, and builds an anti-aircraft gun. Do you understand? There are no innocent civilians in total war! “If that’s unfair, then don’t start a war!”

“…”

“…”

Two days later, on February 21st.

From that day on, numerous B-29 bombers under the 21st Bomber Command began flying to Japan day and night and raining incendiary bombs.

Quaaaang! Quack!

Grrrr! Ujikkeun!

“Aaaah!”

“Shintaro! “Hurry and avoid!”

“Ugh!”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Shintaro’s father quickly tried to escape with the child, but there was no place to escape.

The whole area became a sea of ​​fire, and soon a huge heat storm enveloped them.

It was hell.

Tokyo became a sea of ​​fire due to the massive air raid that day.

It is estimated that over 400,000 houses were lost and over 100,000 people were killed.

It has literally become a hell.

There was even an accident where a bomber at the rear of the bombing squadron was caught in the rising air currents created by the heat on the ground and crashed.

“Huh!”

“Oh, that’s amazing…”

“It’s hell, hell…”

Lee Kang-cheol and his staff, who were watching the video sent by Albatross, could not keep their mouths shut at the misery of the video.

“That guy is a real monster…”

“I don’t know if this is inviting the devil.”

“If we do this and that, we might not even have a chance to use the atomic bomb?”

“…”

It seemed like a fire demon like LeMay would have turned the whole of Japan into a sea of ​​fire, so Lee Kang-cheol thought to himself that it was a really good thing to give the atomic bomb data to the United States.

If we bomb it in this way, there won’t be anything left.

“Whew! But I can’t urge you to use it quickly. “If we use the atomic bomb, the war will end immediately.”

“Then what should I do?”

“What to do? We must take control of Manchuria as quickly as possible. Then it doesn’t matter if the war ends.”

“We should hurry.”

“The scheduled date for our advance into Manchuria is March 8, right?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Let’s wait a week for that.”

“A week later, March 1st?”

“Yes, I think we underestimated that fire demon too much. “I think we should hurry as much as possible.”

“Hmm, okay. “It’s a bit of a stretch, but I think it can be done in a week.”

“Okay, please help me.”

“yes!”

Go Seok-man was frantically urging the soldiers under his command.

“I mean, hurry up! Hurry!”

“Hurry up and send it up! “Quickly put him on a train and send him to the North!”

“Why is the kids’ training like that! “That’s why I can shoot a gun properly!”

Go Seok-man screamed until his voice was hoarse and ran around until his legs were swollen.

And so the morning of March 1, 1945 dawned.

“Are you ready?”

“Whew! “It barely worked.”

“Good job. “Then shall we begin?”

“Yes, Commander.”

The South Korean army’s advance into Manchuria was about to begin.
