During World War II, the madness and stubbornness of Japanese imperialism shocked the world, and in the last year of the war, after Italy and Germany had already surrendered one after another, Japan was even prepared to resist and refuse to surrender in the face of large-scale bombing and the scarcity of troops. In order to promote the complete end of the war, the United States finally chose to use new special weapons for the first time, whether in Hiroshima or Nagasaki, nuclear weapons almost instantaneously caused the lives of countless Japanese people to disappear, after which the desperate Japan had no choice but to surrender.
It can be said that it is precisely because the US military uses special weapons that it has changed the direction of the entire war in one fell swoop, and has also made the world marvel at the huge lethality of nuclear weapons. In a top-secret document released by the United States in 2015, the world was shocked to find that the United States had planned to drop 870 special weapons on 117 cities in China more than 60 years ago, which was creepy and creepy, so why did the United States make such an evil plan against the mainland? And why did the plan ultimately become obsolete?
New China has been very difficult all the way, please mark the "motherland is strong, prosperous and prosperous" in the comment area, like this video can be long pressed and liked, so that more people can see the past history, you can also pay attention to us, view all the videos, next, to tell you about the mainland from the US military nuclear attack closest moment.
nuclear weapon
At that time, China was still an emerging country, the advanced level of weapons and equipment could not be compared with the United States, and the mainland was not a nuclear power, if the United States really used this special weapon, then we really could not deal with it at that time. In fact, as early as the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, as a newborn country, we taught the United States, which ranked first in military strength, a harsh lesson, which also became a nightmare in its war history, and we still can't get rid of it.
Meddle in the war
Originally, the United States took the lead in intervening in the situation and wanted to take the opportunity to contain communism, but the final result was that it lost its own troops, in order to stop the loss, forced to bow its head, in the war, the United States also paid a high price and a large amount of money, but eventually led to the army in a deep quagmire, this situation for Truman, can be described as a huge shame, not only let the United States lose face, but also greatly encourage the other people in the world to resist the hegemony of us imperialism and confidence.
The United States was already hostile to communism and decided to suppress the countries headed by the Soviet Union fiercely, and at that time it was in a very dangerous moment in the Cold War stage, war could break out at any time, and the United States also realized that the Soviet Union might launch a nuclear war to attack itself.
At the same time, the United States soon issued a public statement to create a momentum for itself, clearly emphasizing that it would retaliate against communist countries to varying degrees. In view of the crisis situation of the Cold War, everyone understands that the United States and the Soviet Union have strong nuclear forces, and the statement of the United States is tantamount to announcing to the world that the US military may use nuclear weapons to contain the power of the Soviet Union.
So since it is aimed at the Soviet Union, why does the US side list the mainland as the target of nuclear attack? If you want to get the answer, you have to start from the development of new China. Because our army showed great skill on the Korean battlefield and gradually embarked on the road of strength and development since then, the United States also had to admit that China is a country with great potential, and during the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, it was precisely the stage of Extremely Close Sino-Soviet relations, for which the United States believed that China would eventually grow into a country as powerful as the Soviet Union, and after China's War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, its military strength also developed by leaps and bounds, but what worried the United States the most was the relationship between China and the Soviet Union. Therefore, when formulating the plan, it targeted and scoped the Soviet Union, China, and the Soviet Union's sphere of influence in Eastern Europe.
During the Cold War, the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union undoubtedly led to the rapid development of nuclear weapons research in the US military, and during the Korean War, the number of nuclear weapons in the US military exceeded a thousand, not only that, but it also deployed nuclear bombers in Europe, which could be taken off at any time for missions and nuclear strikes. In the years that followed, the United States not only stepped up its research on nuclear weapons, but also gradually expanded to a staggering 18,000 pieces, coupled with its perennial deployment of military forces overseas, so that the United States had the capital to attack other regions extensively.
Nuclear strike program
The U.S. declassified nuclear strike plan was formulated in 1956, more than 800 pages, and the cover also wrote top secret words, which shows that the United States was already murderous at that time, this nuclear attack plan spanned Eurasia, from East Germany to the Soviet Union to the mainland, the specific targets also exceeded twelve hundred, and the target attack mission and the population of the target were clearly marked in this plan.
The most striking thing is that in the Us plan, the two most important cities of the Soviet Union, Leningrad and Moscow, are the primary targets of the US military, and in these two cities alone, the US military plans to drop more than three hundred nuclear bombs, and it should be known that the two attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki have left a lingering shadow on everyone, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, and the United States, knowing the power of nuclear weapons, still formulated such a vicious plan, which really exposed the nature of the United States in doing whatever it took to do for its own interests.
In addition to the Soviet Union itself, many large cities on the mainland are also on the list of attacks by the United States, of which the capital Beijing is the number one target that the United States will attack on the mainland. In the American plan, they will carry out the corresponding attack plan according to the function and development status of the mainland cities, and have accurate calculations of the population and density of each city, which shows that the Americans do not care at all how many innocent people are implicated and lose their lives, they only care about whether the purpose of destroying China's economic centers, military bases, and industrial production is achieved.
Korean
As for China, the United States plans to drop eight hundred and seventy nuclear weapons in 117 regions in a vain attempt to weaken the mainland's strength in terms of economy, industry, military, population, and transportation. In the eyes of the United States, if we want to stop the pace of our military industry, we must destroy Shanghai, the industrial center of China at that time, the three eastern provinces and the economic center. Among them, they planned to drop one hundred and fifty-nine nuclear bombs in one province of Liaoning, while Heilongjiang and Jilin dropped a total of one hundred and twenty-nine. If you want to enhance military strength, you need strong military industrial capabilities to support, when the mainland's heavy industry development has just started and concentrated in the northeast region, the United States in order to prevent China from becoming strong, so the firepower is mainly concentrated in the three eastern provinces, in a vain attempt to destroy the foundation of new China.
In addition to military strength, economic development also determines the speed of China's entry into the world's great powers, and the crazy United States also plans to drop eighty-two nuclear weapons in Shanghai, wanting to make the mainland's economic development produce a huge retrogression, the lethality of nuclear weapons is so huge, the United States in the mainland industrial power and economic centers to launch attacks, in fact, can also complete a large number of plans to reduce the mainland population, and reducing the mainland population is one of their purposes.
The damage is enormous
So how much damage will the city be caused by the bombing according to the U.S. plan? What are the irreversible impacts on the cities involved? In fact, the huge amount of destructiveness generated by the explosion of this special weapon mainly comes from three aspects, and like all shells, the heat and shock wave generated by the explosion are important causes of direct death, because when they explode, the center will produce ultra-high temperatures, and when nuclear weapons explode, the center may produce tens of millions of degrees Celsius of high temperature, the temperature of melting ordinary metals is only a few thousand degrees Celsius, and tens of millions of degrees Celsius heat is emitted after the eruption, whether it is a solid building or a person. It will all disappear in this ultra-high temperature and disappear in an instant.
ruin
In addition, nuclear weapons also have another shell does not have the lethality, that is, radiation, let's first look at the data, after the United States launched an attack on Hiroshima, the explosion immediately produced extremely strong light waves, many innocent victims were caught off guard and directly blind, the high temperature instantly destroyed everything around them, according to survivors' recollections, the strong heat emitted by nuclear weapons can be felt more than ten kilometers away, and this attack in Hiroshima directly caused 160,000 deaths. The attack launched by the US military in Nagasaki directly led to the death of 60,000 people, and the terrible thing is that the total population of Nagasaki is only about 270,000 people, which shows the direct power of the nuclear attack.
Compared with causing direct death, nuclear radiation is more terrifying, will slowly destroy all the ecology that is attacked and polluted, many people who are fortunate enough to survive the disaster, may also live with pain under the action of radiation or die under torture, nuclear radiation will lead to mutation, many people who are exposed to radiation are more likely to suffer from cancer, or cause offspring to deformity, this damage can be described as endless, and these radiation will also exist in the environment for a long time, far-reaching and bad, and it is discolored.
Not only that, when the US military launched an attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, their weapons technology was relatively imperfect, and the lethality of nuclear weapons during World War II could not be compared with the destructive power of the new special weapons developed by the US military during the Cold War. What is even more frightening is that the United States has dropped more than one.
Seeing this may make many people very puzzled, why should the United States spend huge manpower and material resources to prepare for a nuclear strike on the mainland? What are the complex reasons for this? In fact, the United States intervened in the Korean War earlier not only to help South Korea, but also to extend its hand to Asia in an attempt to expand the strength of capitalist countries by helping South Korea, which also means that North Korea can become the first line of the game between the two camps. In addition, after the end of the war, the relations between the United States and the Soviet Union did not ease up at all, and even in the game, there was a possibility that a big war would break out if it was not careful.
War readiness
So the United States has planned to deal with the war, in the eyes of the United States, the Soviet Union's biggest threat to the capitalist camp lies in nuclear weapons, combined with the Soviet Union's powerful air power, once the war breaks out, the United States and its allies in Europe may become the target of the Soviet Union, after considering this situation, the United States believes that as long as the Soviet Air Power is severely damaged, the threat can be greatly reduced, which is why Moscow and Leningrad are the primary targets.
For the entire nuclear strike strategy, the United States also believes that the plan needs to cause huge damage when it is implemented, so it deliberately changed the plan to detonate in the air to detonate on the ground, which means that once the US plan is implemented, the damage to various countries will far exceed estimates. In this regard, the United States also knows very well that if it wants to make up its mind to implement this plan, it must be strong first, and take the lead in depriving the Soviet Union of the ability to launch a nuclear war, and the airport air base has naturally become the primary target of the US military, not only that, the United States will also focus on attacking the Soviet Union's fighters that can carry a large number of nuclear weapons, and finally achieve a pre-emptive strike, so that the Soviet Union has no ability and opportunity to fight back.
Nuclear weapons explode
According to the plan, if a sudden offensive can directly end the war, it is the ideal state, but if the war continues, it is necessary to target targets that can provide respite for the Soviet Union and its allies, such as factories, gas stations and even life-saving penicillin plants. If the Soviet Union was America's number one rival at the time, China was both an ally of the Soviet Union and the country most likely to take its place as the next strong enemy.
Although China had not been established for a long time at that time, the economic, industrial, and military development was difficult to compare with the United States, but the development potential was huge, under the leadership of the great man, the whole country made concerted efforts to engage in production, although poor, but not afraid of hardship, not afraid of difficulties, Chinese the people to bear hardships and stand hard work, the mainland army is tenacious, even in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea can defeat the US military, so they not only harbor strong hostility, but also believe that in the near future, the mainland's rich resources and population and rising economy are bound to affect the hegemony of the United States. This is also the fundamental reason why the United States is ready to strangle us in the cradle, hoping to eliminate the troubles in the future.
After the end of World War II, there were only a few nuclear countries in the world, and the United States was the country with nuclear strength and ranked first in comprehensive military strength, and the power of nuclear weapons was undoubtedly frightening, so the implementation of nuclear blackmail against many countries was also one of the strategies of the United States, and the mainland was also among them.
Nagasaki after being bombed
Defeated
As early as the Time of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, our army beat the US army to a gradual defeat, and in view of the huge gap in military strength between the two sides at that time, the US army could not defeat the volunteer army, and the arrogant MacArthur shouted for a quick decision, but the result was that he was punched in the face by reality, and he was angry and demanded the use of nuclear weapons to attack China's industrial powerhouse northeast in an attempt to save the situation. In fact, long before the war broke out between the two sides, MacArthur guessed that China might send troops to help, and made a plan to attack northeast China and our army very early.
However, the far-sighted greats and the heroic and fearless soldiers of our army are not afraid of the United States at all, not only that, but the great people have long seen that the United States did not dare to use nuclear weapons at that time, otherwise it would anger the Soviet Union, and it may face a multi-front combat situation.
In 1957, when the great man visited the Soviet Union to meet with Khrushchev, he specifically talked about his views on nuclear weapons, and he believed that victory in war was always determined by people, not by some new type of weapons. After such foresight and rhetoric reached Eisenhower's ears, he could only secretly lament the wisdom of the great man, and admitted that the greatest power of nuclear weapons did not lie in the damage caused by the explosion, but in the pre-explosion, which confirmed that a small number of high-tech weapons could not change the overall war situation, and after so many years of artillery baptism, no threat could frighten China.
The seemingly aggressive nuclear attack plan of the United States has died at all, because in 1959, the relations between the United States and the Soviet Union ushered in an unexpected turn, and soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev was invited by the United States to break the deadlock between the two countries and came to the United States for the first time to open this visit to ease relations between the two countries.
At that time, Khrushchev's visit to the United States was not only the first visit of soviet leaders, it was historic, but also a confrontation between the two countries on the issue of the Berlin crisis, and the outcome of this visit not only affected the relations between the United States and the Soviet Union but also the direction of the world situation, and it can even be said that whether they can live in peace in the future is here.
Relationships are relaxed
Fortunately, Khrushchev's visit undoubtedly sent a positive signal to the world that after negotiations, the two countries decided to peacefully resolve the current international crisis. During the visit, the Soviet leader also wanted to learn from the United States in order to solve the domestic agricultural crisis, planted corn in large quantities, and saw the fruitful results on American farms, he was more certain of his ideas for a while, but he did not want to finally fail the plan.
Khrushchev
During the visit to the United States, the Soviet leader always gave people a very affinity image, and the American people have always looked at this in the eyes, because during the Cold War, the American people were also very afraid of being attacked by the Soviet Union one day, and Khrushchev's visit to the United States to a certain extent broke the American people's view of the Soviet leader, and the image of demonization was diluted.
This friendly visit also eased the relations between the two countries slightly, and there were also voices within the United States against the abuse of nuclear weapons, which led to the failure of the large-scale nuclear attack plan of the United States to be implemented, of course, in addition to the relaxation of international relations, internal opposition to war, and the concerns of US allies, which became the reason for the failure to implement the nuclear attack plan.
In the eyes of some European countries, if the United States rushes to launch an attack, then the risk to Europe is very great, because as long as the Soviet Union still has some nuclear forces, even if it cannot inflict heavy damage on the United States, which is far away from the ocean. But it's relatively easy to deliver a fatal blow to a Europe that's just around the corner. It can be said that many European countries have been very afraid of the Soviet Union's combat strength since the end of World War II, which is why the United States has deployed many troops and weapons in Europe.
Although the United States abandoned the nuclear attack plan formulated by the Cold War, the United States has always wanted to interfere in the mainland and stir up trouble in Asia, and has always wanted to seize the interests of the mainland by virtue of its superiority in military strength. In fact, since chiang kai-shek fled to Taiwan, the US side has always used Kinmen and other places as bases and sent troops to harass the coastal areas of the mainland.
Defend sovereignty
In order not to let the other side's plan succeed, so our army decided to defend its sovereignty and carried out an artillery attack plan on Kinmen, while the United States was still waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on the defeat a few years ago, but it was still unable to implement the retaliation plan, so it took the opportunity to send troops to carry out provocations in the strait area.
At the beginning of the battle, Chiang Kai-shek's army could only be defeated and retreated, and the US military saw this situation and thought that if it wanted to reverse the situation, it could only rely on nuclear power, so it applied to its superiors to use this special weapon, and the US high-level level agreed with this. In their view, in the Korean War, which only a few years had passed, the Chinese army had repelled the US military with only backward equipment, so this time it could only rely on special weapons to win.
This proposal is not only necessary in the eyes of the U.S. military leadership, they also plan to launch nuclear attacks on many large cities on the mainland, targeting many air bases and other important facilities. The plan was immediately rejected by Eisenhower, who anticipated that if it attacked China, the Soviet Union would not sit idly by, and sure enough, the Soviet side soon issued a warning about the Provocation of China by the United States.
At this time, the United States was very cautious, although it did not act rashly, but as long as our army continued to promote the war of liberation, then the US military would retain its nuclear strike plan and launch a nuclear attack on Xiamen Airport. Of course, this is not the first time that the mainland has faced a nuclear threat, but this time it is also the most dangerous one.
It is precisely because the mainland was frequently threatened by the nuclear threats of other countries in the early days that it will make up its mind to get rid of this kind of nuclear blackmail, stand tall in the world, and no longer be bullied by other countries. In this case, the mainland also began its own process of developing nuclear forces, when the mainland had a natural disaster, and relations with the Soviet Union deteriorated, but still gritted its teeth and worked hard to develop the mainland's first nuclear weapon, after which the mainland officially joined the ranks of powerful countries, so that other countries no longer have the capital to threaten the mainland.
