Rise of Australia

Chapter 942 Completely destroyed
1937年8月29日，清晨7点30分。

For the Northern Hemisphere, it has been more than an hour since daybreak.

The perspective comes to an area somewhere in Tokyo, the capital of the island country, where a large number of island government officials gather, led by the island country's Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro.

At this time, Konoe Fumimaro had a serious look on his face, followed by senior government officials and senior military generals.

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

The sacred toilet was originally built by the emperor of the island nation for the soldiers who died in battle. It was once called the Soul-Calling Shrine, and its purpose is clear.

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

After the bombing of Hiroshima, the morale of the island nation's army plummeted.

There is no way around it. After all, the enemy has weapons that can easily destroy a city. How can we fight such a war?
In order to boost the army and morale, Konoe Fumimaro planned a visit and organized most of the senior government and military officials, and also invited many media, in order to show the government's attention.

According to Konoe Fumimaro's plan, after completing 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 smooth, and the newspaper's cameras were constantly recording the scene.

The accident happened after the visit.

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

But when I looked up, the sky was a deep blue. Not to mention any unknown things, there wasn't even an airplane.

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

As long as there were no enemy aircraft, it would at least prove that Tokyo was still safe. As for the strange sound, although it was frightening, we could only treat it as nothing.

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

While everyone else was still confused and terrified, Konoe Fumimaro suddenly stepped forward, with a tone of surprise and excitement, he said: "Gentlemen, our request has been approved! Isn't this strange sound the heroes' response to us?"

After hearing Konoe Fumimaro's explanation, the top government officials reacted instantly and pretended to be excited and echoed him.

Seeing that the Prime Minister and senior government officials confirmed that this was a response to the request, most of the people watching at the scene and the newspaper media chose to believe it.

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

Could it be a new weapon from Australasia? Looking at the clear blue sky, which was even empty, both the islanders and the newspapers and media thought it was impossible.

If Australasia really has such weapons that can achieve long-range strikes without the need for aircraft, why didn't the enemy use them before?
"Amaterasu will bless us, and 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 sound continued, and so did Konoe Fumimaro's mobilization speech.

As he was speaking, Konoe Fumimaro realized that something was wrong with the people and reporters around him. He was the protagonist at the moment, so why were they all looking up at the sky?

What could be in the sky? Besides the azure blue sky, wasn't it just that strange sound?
Ok?
Strange noises?

Konoe Fumimaro's heartbeat suddenly stopped, and a terrible thought came to his mind, making Konoe Fumimaro's back instantly cold.

He suddenly looked up at the sky, and saw a long narrow white smoke appear 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 Minister of the Army beside him suddenly changed. He instantly became stuttering and said in horror: "It's an Australasian weapon!"

Now, the eyes of those reporters and the public changed from curiosity to fear in an instant, and as if they had agreed beforehand, they immediately ran towards the exit of the sacred toilet.

The whole process was completed within a few seconds. Before Konoe Fumimaro could react, the crowd surrounding him was reduced to only half of the previous number.

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

"It should be the weapon of the Australasian Air Force. They have used this weapon on the battlefield of Kyushu Island, and they can accurately hit our artillery positions and military fortresses every time." Sugiyama Gen replied quickly.

"Baka! 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 he couldn't help but feel a little helpless and furious. "Probably not." 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, he quickly ordered, "Quickly hide in the shrine!"

Although the sacred toilet may not be able to withstand the bombardment of such weapons, in such a situation, entering the building is definitely safer than being on the open space.

As long as the weapons used by the enemy are not the same as those used on Hiroshima, the building of the Shinto toilet will have a good chance of withstanding the first round of attack.

Seeing that the government officials and generals chose to hide inside the sacred toilet, many people and reporters who ran slower also turned back and followed these officials to hide inside 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.

It looked like a cannonball, but the outline was slightly different, and it was much larger and moved at a much faster speed.

"Damn it! How do Australasia have so many unknown weapons? Neither Britain nor France have them. How did they develop them?" After making sure 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, such as the Russo-Islamic War, the gap between the island countries and the great powers was not so great.

It didn't feel like we were fighting a war with a country of the same period at all, as if the island nation had fallen behind in military technology by decades.

"Mr. Prime Minister, we will be safe as long as we wait until the enemy's special shells hit the ground and explode." Army Minister Sugiyama Gen came over and explained:

This weapon is about as powerful as a cannonball. Although it has a higher chance of hitting the target, its killing range is very short. What is that?"

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

Konoe Fumimaro quickly looked up, but could see nothing but a flash of extreme white light, and then nothing.

boom!
After a deafening sound, the missile, the source of terror for all the islanders, exploded instantly and successfully ignited the nuclear warhead at the head of the missile.

Although it is only a small nuclear bomb, its power is quite strong. After all, the core part of a nuclear bomb is the nuclear material it carries. The plutonium element in this nuclear warhead is as high as 15 kilograms. If we only calculate the explosive power brought by the full use of the nuclear material, it is almost 1.5 times that of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima.

Of course, the actual number will definitely not be as high as 1.5 times. After all, the structure of a complete nuclear bomb and a nuclear warhead is different. This is only the first attempt at a nuclear warhead, and the utilization rate of plutonium 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. Then, those who were closer were lucky enough to see the white light, but this was precisely the final sign before their death.

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

The horror of the airblast 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 located in just a few seconds.

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

This caused the area within a two-kilometer radius centered on the sacred toilet to become a huge pit several dozen meters deep, with the deep soil layer visible.

As for the original sacred toilet and the officials of the island government, they were either torn into pieces by the shock wave or turned to ashes in the terrifying high temperature of the nuclear warhead explosion.

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

Simply put, they achieved something that is almost impossible for humans to achieve, that is, complete annihilation, with nothing left.

The one in the Yasukuni Shrine is the first one, but it is definitely not the last one.

While the islanders had not yet figured out what was happening in Tokyo, strange noises were heard in the sky in other parts of the vast city of Tokyo.

Turning the view to the sky, four missiles were flying through the sky at an extremely fast speed, and then quickly locked onto the four corners of Tokyo that were originally planned.

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

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