Chapter 1275 -936: An Atomic Bomb Falls from the Sky

The news of victory in the naval battle quickly spread back to the Domestic lands and became the biggest news of the day in Australasia.

Arthur also breathed a sigh of relief and looked forward to the developments of the war even more.

According to the plan of the General Staff, after annihilating the Island Nation’s United Fleet, Australasia had no major battle plans upcoming.

Why not?

Because the next war plan had only one goal: to find the most suitable opportunity and then drop atomic bombs on the various major Urban Cities of the Island Nation.

Since it was uncertain how the Island Nation’s Government would resist, the number of atomic bombs to be dropped was also not fixed.

If the Island Nation’s Government had the sense to capitulate, perhaps Australasia would only drop one round of atomic bombs and then consider how to economically control the Island Nation.

But if the Island Nation’s Government didn’t take the hint, the General Staff also had plans for the annihilation of this country.

After all, the cost of atomic bombs was not high for Australasia, and so far, Australasia’s atomic bomb stockpile had reached a staggering 50 or more, increasing at a crazy rate of 20 per year.

With such a stockpile and production rate, it was entirely feasible to drop dozens of atomic bombs on the territory of the Island Nation.

As Arthur had hoped, the General Staff held a top-level meeting and officially passed the use plan for the atomic bombs.

The main task for the Australasia Army now was to attract as many Island Nation Army troops as possible to their major Urban Cities, facilitating a one-time strike by the Air Force.

To attract more Island Nation Army troops, they would have to make a fake appearance of launching a full-scale attack on the major Urban Cities of the Island Nation.

The Islanders, in order to defend their cities, would inevitably pull more troops together, naturally gathering more soldiers.

Arthur quickly agreed to the plan and instructed the General Staff to be mindful of the safety of the Australasia Army when executing the plan.

August 24, 1937, the Ryukyu Islands Command Headquarters.

“How are the preparations going, lads?” Chief of General Staff Malong sat at the headquarters with a smile, conversing with the special operations team at the airfield through wireless communication.

“The atomic bomb has been loaded, the bomb deceleration device is normal, and the Airplane can take off at any time.” The special operation team leader, Air Force Major Shier McKenzie, reported from the other end of the wireless communication.

“Good, don’t get nervous, lads.” Chief of General Staff Malong nodded and continued with a smile, “Just treat it as a simple Bombing mission. With the protection of the atomic bomb deceleration device, you won’t be affected.”

“Yes, Chief of Staff Lord.” Shier McKenzie nodded, and his expression indeed showed no sign of nervousness.

“Set off when you’re ready. Good luck, warriors.” Malong ordered.

No sooner had he spoken than at the other end of the military airfield, a Sparrowhawk-6B Bomber took off under the protection of two Raptor-6A Fighter Aircraft, heading north towards the Native Land of the Island Nation.

This unusual-looking Sparrowhawk-6B Bomber was a modified version from the Royal Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, equipped with the latest Jet Engines, capable of reaching a terrifying maximum speed of 778 kilometers per hour, with a maximum flight altitude of 10.5 kilometers, a maximum range of 2048 kilometers, and a climb rate of 1042 meters per minute.

Why was such a special Bomber hastily modified? Because the mission was too dangerous, it was necessary to increase the speed and flying altitude of the Bomber as much as possible, to avoid interference from a nuclear explosion.

In order to maximize the speed of the Bomber, this special aircraft had almost no weapons, carrying only one Mors-3 improved type uranium 235 atomic bomb.

This atomic bomb was loaded with 12 kilograms of uranium 235, and its expected explosive yield was a terrifying approximate 38,000 Tons.

The forecast power of this atomic bomb already exceeded the combined total of the two atomic bombs that the United States historically dropped on the Island Nation – its potency was imaginable.

It was precisely because of such a terrifying power that Australasia had to be cautious with the deployment of atomic bombs, even modifying Bombers temporarily.

A few hours later, over the Native Land of the Island Nation.

Aboard the Sparrowhawk-6B Bomber, the pilot and leader of this special operation, Shier McKenzie, while controlling the aircraft, slightly turned his head to speak to his teammate behind him, “What a clear day, it seems God is also helping us.”

His teammate, Valentine Enquevile, nodded in response, saying, “It’s a pity that our target isn’t Tokyo, or else we could have made those damned Islanders feel 5000 degrees of heat.”

“The General Staff certainly has its own plan.” Shier McKenzie said with a smile: “Our task is to execute the General Staff’s plan, whether it’s Tokyo or Hiroshima, it’s just a part of our plan.”

Why was Hiroshima chosen as the first target for bombing?

Hiroshima is located in the southwest of Honshu Island of the Island Nation, very close to both Shikoku Island and Kyushu Island.

According to the latest intelligence from the Australasian Military Intelligence Bureau, the Island Nation had deployed at least 700,000 troops in Hiroshima and also recruited at least 600,000 troops in the surrounding areas.

Just in the Hiroshima area, there are currently close to 1.3 million troops stationed and training, accounting for about a quarter of the total number of the Island Nation Army.

By dropping an atomic bomb here, not only could the 1.3 million troops be effectively killed, but it would also sever the connection between Honshu Island and Kyushu Island of the Island Nation.
