The Rise of Australia

Chapter 940 Time is up

Thanks to the kindness of the island government, most foreigners who are currently staying in the island can leave the island.

Of course, there are still some foreigners who have huge industries in the island, and they are not willing to leave the island because of the threat of Australasia.

For these people, the Australasia government will not show mercy.

The only chance before was to persuade them through public opinion. Since they missed it, they will be treated as native islanders.

Three short days passed quickly, but the news that Australasia used new weapons to bomb Hiroshima was still spreading at a very fast speed.

The islanders also started the public opinion offensive as planned, using many media to start publicizing Australasia’s cruel behavior in Hiroshima, and angrily accusing the Australasia government of having massacred at least 500,000 island residents.

Although this public opinion offensive did have a certain effect at the beginning, in terms of public opinion, Australasia is not something that the island country can resist.

Arthur first used the newspaper controlled by the Royal Consortium to publicize the inhumane human experiments and biochemical experiments conducted by the island country in the occupied areas, and produced substantial photo evidence.

This immediately made the island country's reputation bad. Then, Australasia stated that the bombing of Hiroshima was only for military purposes, and attached several photos of the island country's garrison around Hiroshima.

It can be clearly seen from the photos that the scale of the garrison around Hiroshima should far exceed the number of citizens in Hiroshima.

Thinking carefully, it is reasonable for Australasia to bomb the enemy's military base, and as for the accidental injury of Hiroshima citizens, this is also inevitable.

After the end of the public opinion war, the islanders worked hard to restore order in Hiroshima while organizing troops to go to Kyushu and Shikoku.

This is also good news, because because Hiroshima was almost destroyed, the Australasia Air Force paid less attention to Hiroshima.

This finally gave the island government an opportunity to transport troops to Shikoku and Kyushu with confidence.

As the ruins of buildings outside Hiroshima were gradually cleared, the island army was finally able to enter the city of Hiroshima and see with their own eyes how shocking the bombing power of Australasia was.

From the explosion point to the outer periphery of Hiroshima, the closest point is two kilometers, and the farthest point is six kilometers.

Whether entering the city from the closest point or the farthest point, all you can see is just a ruin.

All the buildings in the city of Hiroshima, whether they are reinforced concrete or wooden, have all become ruins, and the scene is horrible.

What surprised the island army and the personnel who cleaned up the scene was that the outer periphery of Hiroshima was okay, and some surviving buildings and people could still be seen.

But the deeper you go into Hiroshima, not only are there no surviving buildings, but there are also no surviving Hiroshima citizens.

What's even more terrifying is that not only were no surviving Hiroshima citizens found, but even their bodies were not found!

The island government immediately invited a team of experts to come and investigate, and finally came to an astonishing conclusion, that is, the center of Hiroshima once erupted with a temperature of more than 5,000 degrees Celsius, and these citizens were instantly melted into gas by the high temperature of 5,000 degrees Celsius.

Some traces left at the scene can also prove this point. These are also the only traces left after the human body is vaporized.

Everyone at the scene swallowed their saliva, and they were terrified by this terrible weapon of Australasia.

It would be fine if it could directly destroy a city, but it could also produce a high temperature of more than 5,000 degrees Celsius to vaporize people. What kind of terrible weapon is this, and why does Australasia have it?

These islanders don’t know that although the explosion of the atomic bomb has passed, the impact of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima is far from over.

On the second day after the order in Hiroshima was restored, some people began to have discomfort.

At first, it was just dizziness and nausea, and after a while, it turned into purple spots all over the body, hair loss, nose and gum bleeding, and even blood in the stool.

If it was an isolated case, it would be fine, but such symptoms soon spread to all the island troops and people who entered Hiroshima.

On the third day alone, August 27, 1937, thousands of soldiers showed such symptoms, their skin tissues quickly ulcerated, and their lives were in danger.

At this time, the islanders gradually realized that the weapons of Australasia not only caused damage from the explosion, but also caused continuous damage that they could not imagine.

But it was too late to react at this time. By the time such symptoms were discovered and taken seriously, more than 100,000 people had entered Hiroshima, and more than 300,000 people had come into contact with various building ruins and dumped materials from the center of Hiroshima.

Such an impact was far beyond the imagination of the island government. They did not even have time to denounce Australasia's inhumanity in the newspapers. They could only quickly evacuate the troops stationed around Hiroshima, fearing that such an impact would spread to the entire army.

At present, there is a very thorny problem for the island government, that is, whether the survivors of the Hiroshima bombing and the soldiers affected in the future should be treated at a high cost?

According to their current symptoms, the current medical technology of the island country is obviously unable to save their lives.

Rather than treating them, it is better to say that they are hanging on to their breath and let them enjoy a longer torture process.

But the problem is that these soldiers with symptoms and the survivors of Hiroshima obviously don't think so. If the island government does not take any treatment, it will inevitably make these people feel disheartened, thus affecting more soldiers and population.

But if it is useless to treat these soldiers, it will be a completely unnecessary waste of the island government's already limited financial funds and material reserves.

This is also the time to reflect the advantages of a military dictatorship. For other countries, it is quite difficult to choose, but for the island government, there is actually only one choice, that is, to give up treating them.

Of course, on the surface, the island government at least has a certain disguise.

The island government said that it is currently looking for a solution to this symptom, and promised that after finding a solution, it will treat these victims for free as soon as possible.

To a certain extent, the island government is not wrong. After all, they can't find a treatment method, and naturally they don't need to spend a lot of money to treat them.

Even for the island government, they are unwilling to provide a simple medical environment. If it weren't for the fear of causing a mutiny in the army, who would care about the lives of these mere hundreds of thousands of soldiers?

After all this, the island government has time to find trouble with Australasia.

But Arthur doesn't care about these small protests and public pressure.

To put it bluntly, no matter how much sympathy there is for the island country, it is impossible for the island country to go against Australasia.

If there really is such a stupid guy, Arthur doesn't mind letting the Royal Security Intelligence Service go out and make a little contribution to the world.

As for the diplomatic protest of the island government, what a joke, since it is in a state of war, how can Arthur care about the opinions of the island government?

Even for Arthur, the protest of the island government is a good thing.

At least it proves that the island government still wants to continue fighting, otherwise the great gift that Australasia has worked hard to prepare for the island country will not be delivered.

On the Australasia side, the attack on Kyushu Island and Hokkaido is still continuing. What Arthur didn't expect was that since the bombing of Hiroshima, the island army has deployed most of its divisions on Honshu Island, relying on Honshu Island and Australasia to fight to the death.

But this is also good news. At present, a small island of Honshu has gathered at least three million troops, of which nearly two million are near Tokyo.

If a few atomic bombs were dropped, the scene would be exciting.

More importantly, because the island government has mobilized a large number of troops, Hokkaido's troops are currently extremely empty.

Australasia's attack on Hokkaido has also become very smooth. The Kuril Islands controlled by the island country have been occupied by Australasia, and most of South Sakhalin Island has been occupied, and the border with Russia is about to be seen.

If there is a map, it can be seen that Australasia's attack on the island country comes from all directions.

Except for the northern coast backed by the island country sea, the Australasia army can be seen in almost all directions of the island country.

Although the specific current situation of the island country's economy is unclear, at least in terms of fishery, animal husbandry and shipping, the island country has now reached its historical low.

Australasia will not be polite to the fishermen of the island country. As long as the Australasia navy sees the fishermen and civilian ships of the island country during patrol, it will open fire directly.

With the loss of the main force of the island nation's navy, the Australasian navy is invincible in the Pacific Ocean.

With the turmoil in all parties, the three-day deadline that Australasian warned foreigners to evacuate the island nation soon arrived.

Countries and people all over the world, as well as those media, are curious about whether Australasian has any extra powerful weapons, and how the islanders will respond.

Britain and France are in a very complicated mood at this time.

On the one hand, Britain and France hope that Australasian can have more powerful weapons, so that they can kill the manpower of Germany and other Allied countries as soon as possible and end the war.

But on the other hand, Britain and France do not want Australasian to have more new weapons. The power of this weapon has been demonstrated in the island nation of Hiroshima. Such a powerful weapon will terrify any country.

If Australasian is not too important to this war, I am afraid that Britain and France will not have this attitude at this time.

If Australasian really has a lot of new weapons, even if Britain and France can still persist in this war, they will definitely get together after the war to discuss how to restrict Australasian.

Even countries like Russia will participate in it. In the game of nations, when the military strength is too strong, it is inevitable that it will be targeted.

Regarding the question of bombing the island country when the whole world is looking forward to it, there is only one answer in Australasia, that is, it must be bombed.

The question is how to bomb and when to bomb, which is the most important question at present.

The main target of the next round of nuclear bombing is only one, that is, the capital of the island country, Tokyo, which has a population of more than three million.

Unlike the previous bombing of Hiroshima, the atomic bomb in Hiroshima is more like an experimental product, which is specially used to explore the problems and defects of the actual use of atomic bombs.

There are two problems at present. One is that the power of small atomic bombs is relatively small. The atomic bomb carefully made by Australasia did not even completely destroy a small urban area of ​​Hiroshima.

Although the remaining buildings are far away from the center of the explosion, they have survived after all, which does not meet Australasia's pursuit of a one-time solution.

Of course, one of the reasons for this problem is that Australasia chose to use air blast.

The atomic bomb exploded about 550 meters above Hiroshima, and a considerable part of the explosive power was wasted in the air, which is one of the reasons why the atomic bomb did not completely destroy Hiroshima.

If it was a ground explosion, the power of the explosion would have a high probability of completely destroying the entire Hiroshima and creating an explosion crater with a diameter of more than two kilometers in the center of Hiroshima.

However, air blast also has an advantage, that is, a large amount of radioactive elements are scattered into the sky and merged into the water vapor above Hiroshima.

According to the amount of radioactive materials loaded on the Australasia atomic bomb, Hiroshima will not be habitable for at least a hundred years.

Even with the explosion center as the origin, the land and air within a radius of 15 kilometers will be rich in a large amount of radioactive elements.

Let alone living, I am afraid that the surrounding land cannot even grow crops.

This is not like the two atomic bombs dropped by the United States on the island country in history. Those two atomic bombs were relatively simple, and the utilization rate of nuclear materials was very low, which caused the radiation in Nagasaki and Hiroshima to decay to an acceptable level quickly.

As for the level, we can see it from the cancer rates of the population in Nagasaki and Hiroshima in the future.

Well, it is still very high.

In this world, with the baptism of the enhanced atomic bomb in Australasia, if Hiroshima is rebuilt in the future, it will be fun to watch.

In order to ensure the power of the atomic bomb, more than half of the 20 new atomic bombs prepared for the island country will adopt the ground explosion method.

Use missiles to launch near the target area and then detonate the atomic bomb directly.

This is still very safe, but the hit rate cannot be guaranteed.

But then again, the new 20 atomic bombs are all enhanced versions.

There were only 10 kilograms of plutonium in the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, and in the new atomic bomb, the weight of plutonium has been increased to a full 20 kilograms.

According to the utilization rate of plutonium in previous atomic bombs, the explosive power of these atomic bombs can reach an exaggerated 70,000 TNT equivalent, which is equivalent to two and a half times the combined power of the two atomic bombs in American history.

Only 5 atomic bombs of this power are needed to make Tokyo disappear instantly.

If other places didn't need enough atomic bombs, the number of atomic bombs Australasia used to bomb Tokyo would be more than 5.

But think about it, 5 is enough, distributed in the four corners and the center, it is no problem to destroy Tokyo.
