The Rise of Australia - Chapter 960

c942 Destroyed to ashes

August 29, 1937, 7:30 in the morning.

For the northern hemisphere, it has been more than an hour since dawn.

The perspective came to a certain area in Tokyo, the capital of the island country, where a large number of island government officials gathered, led by the island country’s Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe.

At this time, Fumimaro Konoe was serious, followed by senior government officials and senior military generals.

What brought these absolute top leaders of the island country together? Of course, it was to pay homage to their so-called shrine.

The shrine was originally built by the emperor of the island country for the soldiers who died in the war. It was once called the Soul Recalling Society, and the purpose of this thing was clear.

This time, Fumimaro Konoe came to pay homage to the shrine with a purpose.

After the bombing of Hiroshima, the morale of the island country’s army dropped sharply.

There was no way to do this. After all, the enemy had weapons that could easily destroy a city. How could such a war be fought?

In order to boost the army and morale, Konoe Fumimaro planned to pay a visit to the shrine, and organized most of the senior officials of the government and the military, and invited many media to show the government’s attention.

In Konoe Fumimaro’s plan, after the visit to the shrine, he would conduct a war mobilization in the square outside the shrine and announce the emperor’s new order.

The journey from the gathering of senior government officials to the visit to the shrine was still smooth, and the cameras of the newspapers were constantly recording this scene.

The accident happened after the visit.

First, there was a strange sound of breaking through the air in the air, as if something was moving quickly in the sky.

But looking up, the sky was blue, not to mention unknown things, there was not even a plane.

After carefully observing for a while and confirming that there were no planes flying in the sky, Konoe Fumimaro breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there are no enemy planes, at least it proves that Tokyo is still very safe at present. As for this strange sound, although it is frightening, it can only be regarded as nothing happened.

Of course, for Fumimaro Konoe, this strange sound can actually become a part of his plan.

When everyone else was still confused and frightened, Fumimaro Konoe suddenly stepped forward, with a tone of surprise and excitement, and said: “Gentlemen, our request has been approved! Isn’t this strange sound the response of the heroes to us?”

After hearing Fumimaro Konoe’s explanation, the senior government officials reacted instantly and pretended to be excited and echoed.

Seeing that the prime minister and the senior government officials were sure that the request had been responded to, most of the people and newspapers and media watching at the scene chose to believe it.

After all, apart from this explanation, there seems to be no more reasonable explanation to explain what this strange sound is.

It can’t be a new weapon of Australasia, right? Looking at the blue and even empty sky, both the people of the island country and the newspapers and media of the island country thought it was impossible.

If Australasia really has such a weapon that can achieve long-range strikes without aircraft, then why didn’t the enemy use it before?

“Amaterasu will bless us. Our island nation will win this battle!” Konoe Fumimaro successfully used this strange voice to turn the square of the shrine into his own personal stage.

The voice continued, and Konoe Fumimaro’s mobilization speech also continued.

But as he spoke, Konoe Fumimaro found that there was something wrong with the people and newspaper reporters around him. He was the protagonist at the moment, so why did these people keep looking up at the sky?

What can there be in the sky? In addition to the azure sky, isn’t it just that strange sound?

Hmm?

Strange sound?

Konoe Fumimaro’s heartbeat suddenly stagnated, and a terrible idea was born leisurely, which also made Konoe Fumimaro’s back instantly cold.

He suddenly looked up at the sky, and saw a narrow white smoke appeared in the originally azure sky. One end of the smoke was connected to the boundless sky, and the other end was connected to a black object that was falling rapidly.

“What is this?” Konoe Fumimaro immediately had a question in his mind. Before he could react, the face of the Army Minister beside him suddenly changed, and he instantly became stuttering, saying in horror: “It’s the weapon of Australasia!”

This is good. The eyes of those reporters and the public instantly changed from curiosity to fear, and as if they had discussed it before, they instantly ran towards the exit of the shrine.

The whole process was completed in a few seconds. Before Konoe Fumimaro could react, the crowd surrounding him was only a small half of what it was just now.

“General Sugiyama, what kind of weapon is that from the enemy?” Konoe Fumimaro took a deep breath, trying to suppress the tension in his heart, and then looked at the Army Minister Sugiyama Moto who had just spoken.

“It should be the weapon of the Australasia Air Force. They used this weapon on the battlefield of Kyushu Island, and they could accurately hit our artillery and military fortresses every time.” Sugiyama Moto quickly replied.

“Baga! I’m asking you how powerful this weapon is. Is it the same weapon they used in Hiroshima?” Konoe Fumimaro never got the answer he wanted, and couldn’t help but feel a little helpless and furious.

“It shouldn’t be.” Sugiyama Moto searched his memory hard and confirmed that the Australasian army did not use weapons that were too powerful on the battlefield of Kyushu Island, and then he answered.

Konoe Fumimaro finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the unidentified object that was getting closer and closer, and hurriedly ordered: “Go to the shrine and hide!”

Although the divine toilet may not be able to withstand the bombing of such weapons, under such circumstances, it is definitely safer to enter the building than in the open space.

As long as it is not the type of weapon used by the enemy in Hiroshima, there is a good chance that the structure of the shrine can withstand the first round of attacks.

Everyone returned to the divine toilet one after another. Seeing that government officials and generals chose to hide inside the sacred toilet, many slow-running people and reporters also turned back and followed these officials to hide in the sacred toilet.

The black thing in the sky was getting closer and closer, and Konoe Fumimaro could even see the general shape of the thing clearly.

It looks like a cannonball, but its outline is slightly different, larger, and extremely fast.

“Baga! How come the Australasians have so many unknown weapons? Neither Britain nor France have them. How did they develop them?” After confirming that he was safe, Konoe Fumimaro said a little frantically.

This kind of situation of being completely controlled by others was something that Konoe Fumimaro had never experienced before. Even in the war that determined the status of the great powers, that is, the Island-Russia War, the gap between the island countries and the great powers was not so wide.

This does not feel like fighting a country of the same period at all, as if the island country has been decades behind in military technology.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, as long as we wait until the enemy’s special artillery shells fall to the ground and explode, we will be safe.” Army Minister Gen Sugiyama came up and explained: ”

The power of this weapon is about the same as a cannonball. Although the hit rate is relatively high, the killing range is very close. What is that?

Before Sugiyama Yuan could finish what he said, his face instantly became extremely frightened, and his finger pointed at a certain place in the sky, which seemed to be where the weapon was.

Konoe Fumimaro quickly looked up and saw nothing, only a flash of extreme white light, and then nothing.

boom!

After a shocking sound, the missile that frightened all the islanders exploded instantly and successfully ignited the nuclear warhead located on the head of the missile.

Although it is only a small nuclear bomb, its power is quite powerful. After all, the core part of a nuclear bomb is the nuclear material loaded. The plutonium element of this nuclear warhead is as high as 15 kilograms. If only the explosive power of the full utilization of the nuclear material is calculated, it is almost 1.5 times that of the Hiroshima atomic bomb.

Of course, it will definitely not be as high as 1.5 times in reality. After all, the structure of a complete nuclear bomb and a nuclear warhead are different. It is only the first time to try a nuclear warhead. The utilization rate of plutonium element will definitely not be as high as that of an atomic bomb.

When the missile exploded, almost all the citizens of Tokyo heard the loud noise. Immediately afterwards, those who were closer were lucky enough to see this white light, but this was the final sign before their death.

Then there was a mushroom cloud as high as the sky, and a semicircular shock wave that spread at an extremely fast speed.

The horror of the air explosion was fully demonstrated at this time. The shock wave swept across Tokyo at an extremely fast speed, completely destroying the place where the God’s toilet was in just a few seconds.

Fortunately, the shrine where Konoe Fumimaro and other high-level officials of the island nation’s government were located was exactly near the origin of the nuclear warhead explosion.

This caused the area within a two-kilometer radius centered on the sacred toilet to directly turn into a huge pit dozens of meters deep, and the deep soil layer could already be seen.

As for the original divine toilets and officials of the island government, they were either torn into pieces by the shock wave, or were directly destroyed in the terrifying heat of the nuclear warhead explosion.

Even more fortunately, because they were at the origin of the nuclear warhead explosion, after the islanders were instantly vaporized, their remaining traces were quickly destroyed by the shock wave.

To put it simply, they achieved something that is almost impossible for humans to achieve, that is, they were completely wiped out, leaving nothing behind.

The Jingguo Divine Toilet is the first one, but it is definitely not the last one.

Before the people of the island country could figure out what was happening in Tokyo, strange sounds were heard in the sky in other parts of the huge city of Tokyo.

Putting the perspective above the sky, four missiles were flying through the sky at extremely fast speeds, and then quickly locked onto the four corners of Tokyo as originally planned.

In order not to arouse the vigilance of the island government and the people of Tokyo, this time the atomic bombing was carried out by using missiles carrying nuclear warheads.

Although it is difficult for islanders to escape the bombing range, it is not a bad thing to be cautious.
