Before the news could fully reach them, a bomb landed at the Emperor's residence. Since it wasn't on his own territory, and it was in another country, Bai Yan wouldn't have used an ordinary bomb.
The atomic bomb, which would have taken decades to develop according to the original timeline, landed on the island nation ahead of schedule, but this time it didn't kill ordinary civilians.
The Emperor and a host of pro-war forces were suddenly reduced to ashes. Fearing that China, which possessed this technology, might throw another bomb at them at any moment, the Japanese hastily retreated from China...
After the war, countless people from home and abroad wanted to interview Bai Yan, and Bai Yan also accepted the interview, detailing his research process and the time his research institute spent researching the two bombs. He also stated that he would not provoke a war unless someone asked for it.
China is not comparable to what it used to be, so naturally no one dared to question her words.
On the other side, Zhong Rentao looked at the international newspapers in shock. Two bombs ended the war. What kind of madman is this?
Then he couldn't help but scratch his face hard: What did he miss? What did he miss! Profitable drugs aside, this is a weapon with a super-destructive scale!
If he had known that Bai Zhizhong's daughter was a genius in this field, he would have preferred to abandon his useless son and adopt her as his daughter!
It's too late, it's all too late! You damned son!
Thinking about what he had missed, Zhong Rentao turned around and gave Zhong Yunsheng a severe beating.
The external war ended, but the civil war was far from over.
With Xu Shengtian's current strength, he could naturally rule as king, but both he and Bai Yan knew that too much injustice had befallen this land over the years. The people living on this land did not need a chaotic warlord system; what they needed was...
Bai Yan pointed to a corner of the map, as did Xu Shengtian, where a red sun was rising.
“We really are on the same wavelength.” Xu Shengtian grasped Bai Yan’s hand. “But you won’t be the First Lady.”
“But I can be the wife of the founding marshal,” Bai Yan smiled.
Xu Shengtian's decision brought an end to the civil war that was supposed to break out at an extremely fast pace. Zhong Rentao and Liao Simin were defeated one after another. The wheels of history rolled on, and the Chinese people finally achieved the liberation of the whole country and saw the red sun that belonged to them.
...
After the establishment of the new regime, Bai Yan resigned from his position as prime minister and focused on his research, becoming the first director of the domestic research institute.
At the same time, China applied to join the United Nations.
The United States was the first to object, casting a dissenting vote and condemning China's use of nuclear weapons to harm the island nation. It demanded compensation from China and the destruction of all its nuclear weapons, otherwise it would not hesitate to step in to maintain world peace.
Nuclear weapons weren't something only China developed; they also possessed them and had long ago planted them within Chinese territory.
If China disagrees, they can exercise their powers as international police and teach China a lesson.
In response, China showcased its latest surveillance equipment at a United Nations meeting.
"This is a monitoring device developed by Academician Bai of our country. It has detected several aircraft from your country circling over our airspace." The Chinese representative looked at the US representative with a friendly expression: "In return, your country can look into the countermeasures we have taken."
"FUCK! This is impossible! Our technology is the most advanced, how could they possibly detect it?" The US representative's face turned grim.
"Alright, we haven't cracked their mini-helicopters yet..."
The Chinese representative continued, "China has always been a nation of etiquette, never fond of war, but also unafraid of it. We have a clear conscience regarding our war with the island nation."
"As for nuclear weapons, they should not be abused, but they should also not be monopolized by powerful countries to blackmail weaker countries."
"When you are successful, you should help others. This is a principle taught to us by our ancestors. Those who vote in support today will receive free technical guidance from our country."
The United States, having spent vast sums of money and manpower researching and developing nuclear weapons, certainly did not want others to learn them for free, and clamored against it at the meeting, yet it received only one dissenting vote.
In the following period, China provided technical guidance to friendly allies as promised. Of course, some unfriendly countries, despite voting in support, did not receive any technical guidance for a long time.
For example, the UK.
After several attempts to test the waters, the British Prime Minister couldn't sit still any longer; there are some things that are most taboo when others have them and you don't.
To show their sincerity to China, they offered a sincere apology and compensation for the shooting of civilians in Xicheng many years ago. They also returned the cultural relics they had looted from China to China in exchange for technical guidance from China.
With the US shutting out China, its plan for a monopoly failed, leaving the US president only with impotent rage.
Anyone can see that this dragon, which has been dormant for many years, has been revived, and no one can stop its soaring flight.
…
Zhong Rentao died on the battlefield, and soon after, the Zhong family was also purged. Zhong Yunsheng, who lived off his parents, was thrown out of his home.
At that time, his gunshot wound on his leg had not yet healed, but he had no money, and the wound was getting infected, and he also developed a high fever.
Later, Mu Jinzhi, who had escaped from the countryside, found him and used her savings to take him to the hospital. The two then got married.
With the Mu and Zhong families gone, the two became just an ordinary couple in Xicheng.
"Where's your salary this month? We need to pay the rent." Mu Jinzhi asked Zhong Yunsheng, who was about to go outside, as she threw the two of them's dirty clothes into the wooden bucket.
Although his family had fallen from grace, society was just beginning to develop. Zhong Yunsheng was literate and knew English, so he found a decent-paying translation job.
