Chapter 164: The end of the three wars (Part 2)
When the combined fleets of the victorious nations in the waters of the Kinmen Strait fired salutes and thunderous cheers in celebration of the U.S. government’s official unconditional surrender. On the coast of the nearby San Francisco area, some American refugees standing tall and in ragged clothes also stopped to watch this historic scene with their confused eyes. In order to see more clearly, some people climbed up the already The Golden Gate Bridge is dilapidated, but at least it is still passable.
Generally speaking, when they learned that the U.S. government had signed a surrender and the war was over, most of the American refugees in the San Francisco area of California, old or young, male or female, reacted with numbness on their faces. They all seemed mute, staring at the foreign warships in the distance with confused eyes, as if they were looking at aliens. Some people even showed a look of relief, but not many people showed hatred and anger. It was obvious that their spirit and will had been broken by the difficult life-witnessing such a long and hopeless victory. War, and hunger for such a long time and wandering have already made them physically and mentally exhausted. Everyone's tears have dried up, and their grief has become numb. They only think about how to survive, and they don't care about things like national honor... Reporters from all over the world came one after another. The above details were recorded with cameras and video cameras. In this regard, the American journalists and members of the American delegation who also witnessed all this could not help but feel increasingly mixed feelings and heavy thoughts.
Looking back, the suburbs of San Francisco in late autumn are full of withered yellow. In addition, the rural areas are deserted, roads and houses are damaged due to nuclear explosions and social unrest. They look like forgotten ruins, which undoubtedly makes everyone there feel... There is an indescribable feeling of despair...
In fact, this hopeless and bleak picture also foreshadows the future prospects of the United States of America for many years to come.
At the same time, after enjoying the flight performances of the naval aviation forces of the Soviet Union and Japan, the celebration reception on the rear deck of the battleship Yamato also came to an end amid a mess of cups and plates. Wang Qiu and other time-travelers, who were still unsatisfied, also took photos with the ignorant American representatives such as MacArthur, McCarthy, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Bush - it is rare to gather so many presidents in one go, and a few more can summon the dragon... …
The group photos were taken and the harmonious and friendly atmosphere ended here. Several smiling Soviet Cheka soldiers walked over with handcuffs and took MacArthur, Eisenhower, McCarthy and others away as war criminals. Only two young men, Kennedy and Bush, who had not been charged with any crime, left the battleship Yamato with a group of trembling American reporters and secretaries and clerks, and took the transportation boat back to the shore of the San Francisco Peninsula.
That night, in order to celebrate the end of World War III, the United Fleet anchored in the waters of the Golden Gate Bridge held another grand fireworks show. MacArthur and the others, who had become prisoners, were locked in their own cabins, looking at the fireworks blooming in the night sky through the portholes, and listening to the TASS special news repeatedly played on the ship's loudspeakers, Stalin's leader's Important speech at the victorious conclusion of World War III:
"...Proletarian comrades all over the world! With the final end of the world war, the night of the old era has ended, the dawn of the new era has arrived, the dawn of civilization and progress has illuminated the sky, and the sunshine of justice is about to burn out. All the ugliness that was once hidden in the darkness will not only be the red dawn of our generation, but also the red dawn of human civilization entering a historic new stage..."

However, although the U.S. government has unconditionally surrendered and the Third World War has been declared over, neither the Soviet Union nor Japan, or even the entire socialist camp, has treated the United States only to kill and not to bury it, and has not taken over such a huge mess. Intend.
You know, this land has withstood more than 24,000 atomic bombs in the past half year! Although they are all "little guys" with an average yield of only 20,000 to 30,000 tons and a maximum yield of only 50,000 tons. They are first-generation products in the nuclear arsenal, but they have caused destruction and pollution, as well as the collapse of social order and the government. The breakdown of regulation has made the living environment in North America at least as dangerous as in the wilderness.
——Transportation and communications are basically paralyzed, armed gangs are rampant everywhere, industrial and agricultural production has completely collapsed, prosperous cities have been reduced to radioactive ruins, animals and plants have suffered nuclear contamination, and the so-called federal government cannot command the District of Columbia. The remaining American citizens filled with hatred and hostility...
Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to obtain war reparations from the United States or to develop any resources in the United States. Just sending troops to various states in the United States to restore the most basic social order would require at least millions of troops and astronomical military expenditures. Moreover, even if the United States is stabilized again, for the Soviet Union, it will be equivalent to killing its strategic enemy, and it is likely to be bitten in the future... The Kremlin, which has been exhausted by the war, would rather not receive a dime of war reparations. Nor do we want to fall into a new war quagmire.
In comparison, the few natural resources on the territory of the United States are nothing. The Soviet Union, with its vast territory and abundant resources, has never lacked natural resources, and now it even lacks tropical resources. Although Japan used to have a narrow territory and poor resources, after conquering Australia and New Zealand and annexing almost the entire Oceania, it already has extremely abundant natural resources. On the contrary, the once surplus human resources have quickly become seriously scarce.
In short, both of these two companies have completely disdain for the useless piece of America that has been soaking in the mud for a long time, and would rather throw it away than talk about it. As for other countries in the socialist camp, there may be some who are not picky about food. Unfortunately, the navy is too weak to cross the ocean and come to the Americas to "pick up foreign food."
Therefore, after the unconditional surrender ceremony was held, the Soviet and Japanese fleets that visited San Francisco packed up their luggage as quickly as possible, recalled the landing troops, and then weighed anchor and set sail on the fifth day after the signing of the contract, and went home each other, leaving behind a piece of North America. It was a big mess, just slap it on the back and leave.
Just before departure, out of humanitarian considerations, the fleets of the Soviet Union and Japan finally distributed some surplus military supplies from the cabins, including biscuits, flour, bacon, salted fish, canned food, etc. Salt, sugar, medicine, clothing, tents, Kerosene, etc., and even a small amount of pistols and bullets were given to the small group of members of the American delegation who were not taken to the Soviet Union to be tried as war criminals, as well as to the California refugees who had been gathering at the Golden Gate Bridge in recent days. , as a last bit of charity and gift.

PS: Taiwan is still arguing over the legalization of same-sex marriage. Anti-gay congressmen led a group of Christians in the lounge to pray for God’s blessing to block the bill, while pro-gay congressmen went to a Taoist temple to seek talismans and burned them into talismans in the conference hall. Fight against each other...Have all the brain cells of these Wan Chai people been flushed into the sewer? Moreover, are there gay gods in Taoism?
