Japan had already fallen after an invasion that had killed nearly half of it's population, and over one half million Allied soldiers, sailors and airmen.
Truman paced back and forth in the Oval Office. He regreted not using the Bomb on Japan. He should have listened to his advisors.
They were now telling him he can't make the same mistake against the Russians. He sat alone, staring at the white walls of his office. Then, he looked down at the telephone, studying it, as if he expected it to tell him what to do. Finally he reached out for it.
"Get me General Marshall, please!"
At the Kremlin, Joseph Stalin sat listening to two of his scientists. They had just come back from the Nuclear testing grounds in Siberia. They had good news. Their Atomic bomb, was ready.
Placing spies in the middle of Americas' Manhatten Project had paid off, wonderfully.
Stalin knew the United States had the Bomb. He could not understand why they had not used it. The Americans had always been too soft, he thought. It will be their downfall. He would not be so merciful with his new weapon!
Suddeny, air raid sirens, were blasting throughout Moscow.
"Premier, we must get to a shelter!" said Antonov Yatsev, the lead scientist on The Bomb project.
"Bah!" Said Stalin," Another damn reconaissance flight. It's been every day for two weeks!"
He got out of his seat and walked over to the large window that overlooked the entire city. After I destroy the United States, I will build my citeis back to what they used to be. The Soviet Union will be the most powerful country on Earth!
The last the Joseph Stalin saw, was a light...a light brighter than the sun.
