Chapter 991 Nuclear Explosion (2)

"Oh my God!"

The extremely dazzling light instantly enveloped the entire bomber, and the cabin was a dazzling white. If they hadn't worn special goggles, they might have been blinded by the light.

"If anyone dares to look directly at the explosion with their naked eyes, they will definitely be burned blind!" The co-pilot couldn't help but exclaimed.

Soon they felt the shock wave generated by the explosion catch up with the plane and hit the fuselage; fortunately they had flown far away and there was no violent turbulence.

The task of the other two B-52 bombers was to observe and record the explosion. The observers in the cabin were staring at the falling bomb through the cabin window and were almost blinded by the sudden light.

"Oh damn!" A small cloud of white smoke suddenly came out of the camera close to the window, and not only this one, but the other three were almost scrapped at the same time. "Quick, change the camera!" Fortunately, they were well prepared and brought several spare cameras. When they replaced the camera and pointed it at the center of the city in the distance, a huge mushroom was rising there, and most of the city was already in flames.

"Oh my God, one bomb can really destroy a city!" One of the observers asked in a daze. "Do we still need to fight if we have this thing? Who can bear it if we throw a few of them?"

Another observer replied casually. "These Americans just don't want to surrender."

"Then we can use this bomb to flatten the entire United States."

"You're kidding, didn't you hear what the experts said? This thing has radiation. If it's blown up like this, the city will be ruined and it won't be habitable for a hundred or eighty years. If we really want to use this bomb to flatten the United States, how can we occupy it? Will we wait for a hundred or eighty years? This one is just a deterrent. At most, we can throw two or three more. If the Americans still hold on to the end, we can only send troops to land on the US mainland and completely defeat them."

The observer nodded in sudden realization. "So that's how it is. How many tons of TNT is equivalent to an explosion?"

"200,000 tons, but this is still a small equivalent. In a few years, it will not be a problem to build nuclear weapons with equivalents of millions or even tens of millions of tons."

"Tsk, it's really scary!"

At this time, the bomber that dropped the atomic egg also flew to the edge of the city and began to circle around the city; the crew on the bomber stared at the huge mushroom cloud in amazement.

The bombardier was shocked. "It's really scary. I'm afraid even God has to avoid it!"

The others were also shocked. After all, they had never seen such a shocking scene in their lives; the driver murmured. "I think we will be recorded in history."

The fire in the city was spreading rapidly, and there was a tendency to engulf the entire city.

After recording all this, the three bombers began to return.

The towns dozens of kilometers away from San Antonio, and even the people in cities such as Houston hundreds of kilometers away, also saw the mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

"Oh my God! What bomb did the Germans drop?! Did they really destroy a city with one bomb?!"

The Mexican border guards 200 kilometers away also witnessed the explosion. First, a bright light flashed, brighter than the sun, followed by a mushroom cloud rising into the sky, which almost scared the border guards who had never seen a big scene to death, and they quickly reported it to their superiors.

The news was reported layer by layer and finally reached the hands of Defense Minister Cardenas.

This Carazaro Cardenas overthrew the dictatorship of Mucares and became the President of Mexico in 1934. During his tenure, he nationalized Mexican oil, resisted the influence of the United States on Mexico, and pushed the Mexican Revolution to a new climax. It can be said that he is one of the most outstanding presidents of Mexico and the biggest contributor to Mexico's rapid economic development after World War II. Unfortunately, after he left office, the Mexican Revolutionary Institutional Party began to corrupt and eventually declined.

Seeing the news brought by Defense Minister Lazaro Cardenas, Mexican President Manuel Avila Camacho was shocked. "Did the Germans really destroy a city with a bomb?!" They had heard the German broadcast before, but they were skeptical. They thought, how could there be a bomb that could destroy a city? How big would the bomb be? It must be half the size of a city? How could such a thing be carried by a bomber?

Unexpectedly, they were slapped in the face just two days later. "How did the Germans develop such a terrible thing?" Thinking about this bomb falling on Mexico City where they were, their calves trembled unconsciously; the area of ​​Mexico City is not much larger than that of San Antonio. Since it can destroy San Antonio, it is no problem to destroy Mexico City.

Defense Minister Cardenas nodded with great certainty. "The border guards saw it clearly. The smoke from the explosion reached the sky."

"..." At this moment, President Camacho was both relieved and worried. He was relieved that he had firmly declared neutrality and did not follow the United States to declare war on Germany; he was worried that Mexico would be manipulated by Germany in the future?

However, a thought flashed through his mind. "Minister Cardenas, do you think this is an opportunity? An opportunity for us to seek justice from the Americans?"

Mexico and the United States are sworn enemies.

In the 19th century, the "Manifest Destiny" theory was popular in the United States, one of the meanings of which was that Americans were "chosen by God" and should actively expand their territory and spread their values. At that time, Canada in the north was backed by Britain, and the United States was still a little afraid, so it turned its attention to the south.

The north of Mexico was empty. As a result, a large number of American immigrants entered northern Mexico. Texas, where these American immigrants were concentrated, began to seek independence and hoped to merge with the United States.

Of course, Mexico could not let things go, and the Mexican-American War broke out in 1846.

Helpless, the strength is not as good as others.

The Americans reached Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. In the end, the Mexicans signed the "Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo", an alliance under the city, and were forced to cede 2.3 million square kilometers of land in the north to the United States, equivalent to a quarter of the current U.S. territory. For Mexico, almost 2.3 million square kilometers of land were ceded to the United States. gave half of its territory to the United States.

This land is now the United States California, Utah, Nevada, most of New Mexico and Arizona, as well as parts of Colorado and Wyoming.

In 1853, the United States forcibly purchased more than 70,000 square kilometers of land in Mexico in order to build railroads and threatened to invade again. This land became part of the U.S. states of Arizona and New Mexico.

There is a saying that has been widely circulated in Mexico: Our greatest tragedy is that we are too far away from God and too close to the United States.

Now seeing the United States being beaten by Germany, President Camacho felt that this was a good opportunity for revenge. "The Germans want to land in the United States to fight, and we can lend them the road."

Minister Cardenas frowned slightly. In his opinion, the United States and Germany are either a wolf or a tiger, and neither is easy to mess with. "Mr. President, with all due respect, if the Germans really wanted to borrow a road, they would have come to us long ago."
