Rise of Australia

Chapter 939: The island nation is the last

Minister Wellington's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, instantly making the reporters present excited.

The bombing of Hiroshima with the latest weapons is not over yet. It seems that Australasia will also bomb the most important city on the island nation, the capital Tokyo.

You know, Hiroshima is just a medium-sized city in the island country. If it weren't for its good geographical location, it might just be a small or medium-sized city.

The importance of Tokyo is different. As the capital of the island country, Tokyo's population currently exceeds three million.

If the power of Australasia's new weapons is really that exaggerated, it would be a devastating blow to the three million islanders in Tokyo.

"Minister Wellington, are you serious? When will your country's next special operation begin? Can we become military reporters?" a newspaper media from North America asked excitedly.

For these media, the number of casualties among the Japanese is not important; what is important is whether their newspapers and news can sell well.

"Sorry, this is our military secret and cannot be disclosed for the time being. But please rest assured, after consultation with our government, foreign populations on the island are allowed to evacuate within three days. After three days, we may start bombing cities on the island at any time." Minister Wellington said with a smile.

The brief diplomatic news conference ended quickly, and newspapers and media outlets all showed satisfied smiles.

Today's press conference was not in vain. The news currently revealed by Australasia is definitely potential best-selling news.

Some of the reporters had complicated expressions. It was not a good thing for their country that Australasia had developed extremely powerful weapons.

As the newspaper reporters had expected, the news that Australasia had developed a weapon capable of destroying half a city and had used it on Hiroshima instantly became a hot topic around the world.

Not only are many citizens paying attention to this news, but governments across Europe and even around the world are also paying attention to this news.

If the news is true, it will have a very significant impact on the world situation.

It is no exaggeration to say that Australasia will become the biggest influencer of the world situation until other countries develop weapons of equal power.

Naturally, this will also arouse the covetousness and hostility of many countries. This kind of weapon is an unparalleled threat to a country, and even the British are unable to sleep well at this time.

August 1937, 8, in the island nation’s government meeting room in Tokyo.

The Prime Minister of the island nation, Fumimaro Konoe, threw several newspapers on the conference table with a grim face and asked others: "What do you think of the diplomatic news from Australasia? Do they really still have such weapons?"

For the current island government, it has now reached a fork in the road.

Australasia had demonstrated a very powerful weapon at Hiroshima, and had succeeded in inflicting heavy casualties on Hiroshima's military and civilian population.

Under such circumstances, the island government has only two options left. One option is to surrender now to prevent the weapons of Australasia from falling on more cities and causing devastating blows to the cities of the island nation.

The second way is to continue to resist to the end, betting that Australasia only has one weapon in reserve and cannot produce another powerful weapon in a short time.

"It should be fake." The foreign minister of the island nation stood up and said: "This should be just a common diplomatic method, putting pressure on us through the media, making us mistakenly believe that they have more weapons reserves, so as to surrender to them in advance.

According to the way Australasia operates, if they really have more of that kind of weapons, they would have already dropped them on other cities of ours. Why would they need to hold an additional diplomatic press conference?"

The island nation's Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe nodded, indicating that he agreed with the foreign minister's words.

The Australasian government has always shown a tough attitude.

This country, which was born only 37 years ago, has participated in two world wars and fought many small and medium-sized battles during that period. It is simply a warlike country. "Have you figured out the casualties in Hiroshima?" Konoe Fumimaro already had a plan in mind. He stopped asking whether to continue the war and focused on the casualties in Hiroshima.

"Our troops have entered the city of Hiroshima for rescue. According to the rescue situation, at least 90% of the buildings in the city of Hiroshima have been destroyed, and less than half of the more than 20 citizens have survived." Deputy Commander of the Army Headquarters, Kaneda Musashi, said with a sad face:

What is more serious is that most of the military camp in the northwest of Hiroshima was also destroyed. At least 30 of our 10 soldiers stationed in the camp were killed and 5 were injured.

There are still fires in Hiroshima that have not been extinguished. This weapon has basically destroyed our Hiroshima city."

“Baka!” Konoe Fumimaro angrily pounded the conference table, shaking the documents on the table, and said angrily: “How can the Australasians master such weapons?
Hell, one weapon destroyed Hiroshima, and if we had that weapon, we'd be celebrating right now."

After calming himself down, Konoe Fumimaro ordered: "Put out the fire in Hiroshima as soon as possible and save as many citizens of Hiroshima as possible."

Konoe Fumimaro then looked at the Foreign Minister again and suddenly smiled: "After putting out the fire in Hiroshima, invite domestic media to go to Hiroshima for interviews.

Didn't Australasia use powerful weapons? Then let the world see Australasia's cruelty. Ignoring the lives of hundreds of thousands of citizens in Hiroshima, is this what a civilized Western country does? "

The Foreign Minister nodded and instantly understood what Konoe Fumimaro was thinking.

Australasia has already launched public pressure, so the island government can naturally turn the tables.

Although there are several military camps around Hiroshima with a total of one million troops stationed, as long as they evacuate in time, it will completely turn into a massacre of innocent citizens of the island country by Australasia.

By then, even if Australasia has more new weapons, it will have already fallen behind in public opinion.

Even if Australasia has more weapons, it cannot insist on bombing island cities when the whole world is already dissatisfied.

This is an open conspiracy. No matter what, it will not cause much loss to the island country.

"The Army Department has re-planned the troop deployment for Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku. The most powerful offensive in Australasia has passed. Next, as long as we can hold off the attack of the Australasia army, we will achieve the ultimate victory!" Konoe Fumimaro looked towards the Army Department with an extremely crazy look on his face.

"Hi!" the Secretary of the Army responded quickly.

"Prime Minister, should we prevent those foreigners from leaving the country?" the Foreign Minister asked. "If we keep these foreigners in Tokyo, even if Australasia does have more new weapons, they will never dare to detonate them over Tokyo."

"Not for now." Konoe Fumimaro shook his head and said, "Before we are sure that Australasia still has new weapons, there is no need for us to offend more countries.

If Australasia really does not have any more new weapons, aren't we making excuses for Australasia by doing this?

What's more, I don't believe Australasia can be so crazy. Tokyo has a population of more than three million. Do they dare to use such weapons in Tokyo?

Bombing Hiroshima might not be a big deal, but if it was bombing Tokyo, I believe that countries would never allow Australasia to continue to possess such powerful weapons. "

At this time, Konoe Fumimaro, who had basically confirmed that there were no more new weapons in Australasia, was in a much better mood.

In addition, Tokyo has a population of more than three million, which is also the reason why Konoe Fumimaro is confident.

"Hi!" The Foreign Minister could only nod and gave up the idea he had just completed in his mind.
