Chapter 970: Enough of Being Deceived
"Listen to the people inside, please come out immediately, this is about to become a military restricted area, please don't try to confront the government."
Five or six FBI police cars were parked outside Old James' courtyard. They held loudspeakers and shouted at Old James. When they found that Old James inside had weapons, they did not dare to take extreme actions immediately.
"Shit!" Old James cursed inside: "My family has a property certificate in Tennessee, this house is mine, I don't want to leave here, why do you expropriate it? You are illegal! Since the establishment of the United States of America, Just to fully protect the rights of every citizen, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Mr. James, your son has died for the country. Please don't discredit the hero. He died for America. As his family, you should support the cause of America."
"Bah!" Hearing this, old James was even more angry, shouting outside through the window: "My son's death, I really don't want to find out, this may be a government conspiracy, a Roosevelt conspiracy, don't think about it To deceive us, all the families of our victims will unite, and we will never give up the power to investigate what you really want!"
"Yes, we won't give up!" At this moment, a shout came from outside, and the FBI police looked back and saw more residents rushing towards here, their hands already raised up the flag.
Investigate the truth of the Pearl Harbor incident and return us a clean slate!
We can't let our relatives die in vain!
Roosevelt, big liar!
We can't be tricked into war!
There are not many residents in Oak Ridge, only a few hundred households, and now, the FBI is besieging the old James' home and asking him to forcibly move, which finally angered them.
The country must first respect the private property of the people. This is a basic idea of the United States of America, and now, the rights and interests of the people have been greatly damaged!
Tony stood at the back of the crowd. Many of these people were initiated by him. In the past two years, Tony has formed friendships with everyone here. Now, the situation of old James's family finally angered them. .
Originally, some of the original residents had already agreed to the relocation, but when they heard some doubts about Pearl Harbor, they all changed their attitudes. What bothered them most was this kind of deceitful behavior, especially now, they dared to deceive the people of the whole country!
There were a lot of people, and they actually surrounded the FBI personnel. For a moment, these police officers were very passive.
Although they have an order signed by the president himself, Oak Ridge will exist as a special base, and they have to remove the original residents, but now, when so many residents protested to them, they still couldn't help but feel to worry,
If there is bloodshed, they will end even worse!
The muzzle of the gun in the United States should be directed towards the outside world. It is against the constitution to use force against the people.
At least, those executors will be in trouble.
"Get out of here, Roosevelt's lackey!" Suddenly, an old man scolded: "We've had enough of deception!"
"Yes, get out of here, we will not relocate!"
Amid the angry statements of the crowd, the FBI officers walked away in a daze, they failed, and the residents raised their middle fingers as they watched the police cars leave.
"Now, we will organize a group to unite the families of all the victims and seek justice from the government!" Putting down the gun, old James came out and shouted to the neighbors: "We will not be fooled!"
Oak Ridge was one of the most violent venues. The sudden questioning of the US government quickly spread to the White House.
"Our Manhattan project must be launched as soon as possible. Now, we can finally have a sufficient budget, which needs to be included in the presidential special appropriation." At this time, Roosevelt was discussing with his subordinates, and Congress had passed the war bill , a large amount of appropriation will allow the American war machine to fully operate.
In the past, only 30 million US dollars were allocated to the Manhattan Project, which was a drop in the bucket. Now, with the investigation of the intelligence system, the development of atomic energy in Germany has been gradually locked in. Great progress, therefore, the United States has made great progress. Also need to catch up.
Especially in the inference of Szilard and others, once the atomic energy weapon is successfully developed, it will surpass all weapons in this era. If Germany is really the first to develop it, then the United States will stop fighting. Under the threat of Germany, Can only surrender.
A Pearl Harbor incident, awakening the people, it is still worthwhile, at least now, the whole country is shouting war, the leader of any country, the most hope to hear such a voice!
Marshall nodded: "Mr. President, Szilard has re-estimated. He wants to implement three plans together. In this case, the budget will be more. The preliminary estimate is at least five billion US dollars."
Five billion dollars was an astronomical sum even for the wealthy America, and Roosevelt just frowned and said, "Satisfy them!"
If the Germans succeed in the development first, then the United States does not need to do it. In this regard, the United States has fallen behind. Now no matter how much investment is required, the project must be launched as soon as possible!
A bomb can destroy a city. If there is such a weapon, put a few on the island country first, and then directly destroy the island country. This is simply a great killer!
"The Oak Ridge Base must be established as soon as possible. We owed too much in the past, and we must hurry." Roosevelt continued.
Oak Ridge, is a secret base, because in Oak Ridge, it will be the main site of the Manhattan project!
The entire Oak Ridge will be under martial law, the original residents will be relocated, and a large number of engineering personnel will enter there. What is more clever is that most of the engineering personnel do not know what they are going to do, only a few senior engineers will know. .
There, there will be America's biggest secret! If the Germans knew about it, they would definitely try to destroy it.
Thinking of this, Roosevelt suddenly thought of something: "We should not only speed up the development speed, but also try to delay the Germans' speed. We can't let the Germans build them first. Do you have any good ideas?"
Blow up German bases and use agents? Or direct bombers?
"Mr. President, there is an emergency." At this moment, after the announcement, Hoover hurried in and said, "There is a large-scale mass riot in Oak Ridge."
