Chapter 1283 -940: Exploding the Toilet_2
Regardless of whether the Islanders were willing or not, they were destined to become a significant part of human history: the first and the most bombarded nation by an atomic bomb.
Due to the enormity of this operation, it was estimated that at least five million Islanders could be injured or killed.
Therefore, before dropping the atomic bombs, the necessary diplomatic preparations were certainly needed.
On August 28, 1937, at 8 o’clock in the morning, Australasia once again convened a press conference for foreign correspondents and repeatedly asked those foreigners who were still in the Island Nation to leave as soon as possible.
If it was really impossible to leave the Island Nation, they were advised to move to sparsely populated rural areas and suburbs, and to stay away from densely populated major urban areas like Tokyo as much as possible.
The media became excited. Although they did not know when Australasia’s action would take place, such a warning made them understand that there was definitely a plan in motion, and it would not be too late.
The government of the Island Nation became fearful. Konoe Fumimaro had just finished a meeting when he received this horrifying news. He didn’t know whether Australasia had more terrifying weapons, but the action of reconvening a press conference for foreign correspondents in Australasia seemed to suggest that the outcome might not be as expected.
Even though the reactions from the outside world were varied, the response within Australasia was relatively stable.
The people of Australasia did not have much aversion to dropping atomic bombs on the Island Nation, and some even applauded because the Islanders had previously attacked Australasian harbors, causing a large number of soldiers and civilians to die.
For Arthur, the response of the people was what he most needed to understand. Could the Islanders even be considered human? Perhaps not.
Although the involvement of Australasia in the war had changed the course of the world greatly, the current actions of the Island Nation had not improved at all, and their cruel experiments were still ongoing.
For such a species that could barely be considered human, why should there be any mercy? Even if mercy were needed, it should be left to God.
As for Arthur and Australasia’s mission, it was to send all those Islanders who deserved death to meet God.
Before the operation, Arthur had also reviewed the detailed report about the entire operation and had approved all its contents.
Arthur had not expected the bombing of the Island Nation’s colonies. But upon reflection, the Koreans of later generations were no better; it didn’t matter if they were bombed.
Moreover, according to the intelligence from the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Royal Security Intelligence Agency, the Island Nation indeed had a significant number of military troops deployed on that peninsula.
This made the bombing justifiable, and Arthur hesitated for only a fraction of a second before quickly approving the plan to bomb the Island Nation’s colonies.
On August 28 at 11 a.m., the Australasian Foreign Affairs Department notified all foreign ambassadors stationed in Australasia and made a single request: to warn these ambassadors to contact all their citizens in the Island Nation and persuade them to leave as soon as possible.
In discussions with British and French ambassadors, the two countries finally could not hold back and repeatedly inquired about the technological means of the weapons Australasia used to bomb the Island Nation, and requested that Australasia share the technology.
To such a request, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wellington, smiled and said, “no way.”
No matter what, that was Australasia’s stance.
Not to mention that relations with Britain had already significantly deteriorated, even the close ties of the Victorian Era were not enough for Arthur to share atomic bomb technology with the British.

Concerning national interests, Arthur would never back down. If Britain and France continued to persist, it was fine for Australasia to reconcile with Germany and allow Germany to occupy Europe.
After all, the world was vast, too large for one country to occupy completely. By then, if Germany controlled Europe, and Australasia controlled both sides of the Pacific Ocean, they could perfectly counterbalance each other.
The British and French also understood that this was not the time to fall out with Australasia. Compared to Australasia, they were the ones who needed help.
However, the attitude of the British and French ambassadors also revealed some information—up to this point, the relationship between Australasia and Britain and France had already cooled to a freezing point, maintaining the alliance only because of the ongoing war.
In other words, once the war had ended, Australasia and Britain and France could potentially turn against each other over interests. Adding to that the powerful weapons possessed by Australasia, it was very likely that Britain and France would join forces to counter Australasia.
When Arthur had confirmed that Australasia’s goal in World War II was to vie for world domination after the war, he already understood that the relationship between Australasia and the British could never return to what it had been before.
This was like the ancient struggles for the throne, where even blood relatives could turn against each other, let alone two countries whose blood ties had gradually become estranged.
After rejecting the demands of the British and French ambassadors, Minister of Foreign Affairs Wellington repeated the warning to the ambassadors and then left directly.
The British and French ambassadors left in the reception hall looked at each other, their faces a mix of emotions, exchanging glances that clearly indicated they were forming new plans.
At this point, Australasia couldn’t concern itself with these matters, as the bombing plan was about to be executed and the government was under immense pressure.
The deployment of a full twenty atomic bombs had to go off without a hitch.
Particularly those bombs with a higher concentration of plutonium, their power was unimaginable, demanding even greater caution.
The first targets of the bombing were seven urban cities, including the capital city of the Island Nation, Tokyo, Sendai, Osaka, and Nagoya which are on Honshu Island, as well as Nagasaki and Kokura on Kyushu Island, and Seoul in the Island Nation’s Colony.
Among them, Tokyo was the primary target, with the number of atomic bombs to be decided based on the specifics of the bombing, estimated to be between four and five.
The other six cities were secondary targets, each receiving only one bomb.
These city targets were estimated to consume about ten atomic bombs, with the remaining ten to be used against the Island Nation’s military strongholds, troop garrisons, and fortresses, among others.
It was unclear on other impacts, but following the deployment of these twenty atomic bombs, the cancer incidence among the domestic population of the Island Nation was definitely going to surge significantly.
However, the good news was that medical technology was also underdeveloped at the time, and detection methods relatively outdated.
By the time accurate cancer detection was possible, the impacts of these atomic bombs would have already been reduced to quite low levels.
It was completely feasible to adopt the future attitude of the Island Nation, stubbornly denying everything, what more could the Island Nation do?
Moreover, the post-war fate of the present-day Island Nation was not in their own hands.
Although a complete Island Nation had the potential of a great power, whether it still held such potential after twenty atomic bombs was yet to be determined.
Especially Tokyo, which would endure at least four atomic bombs—in the next hundred years, the area for tens of kilometers around it would be nothing but ruins, not even a blade of grass growing.
This was a severe blow for an Island Nation already lacking in land space. Moreover, as a defeated nation, it was bound to face restrictions, even over its industries, military, and economy.
Under such circumstances, the future of the Island Nation was far worse than anything in its history, and whether it could continue as a nation at all was in question.
After solemnly notifying the ambassadors of various countries, Australasia officially initiated its plan to bomb the Island Nation.
The first attack was on the capital city Tokyo, where the Island Nation’s government and the so-called Emperor resided.
Since it was to be a large-scale bombing, it certainly needed to start with a bang. Using Tokyo as the first target of this bombing could not have been more perfect.
More importantly, there was a very famous shrine within Tokyo, previously called the Tokyo Shrine, now known as Yasukuni Shrine.
Arthur did not like this item, nor did he like its name, so it made sense to give special attention to Tokyo and reduce both the shrine and the city to ashes.
