Chapter 938 Diplomatic Press Conference
boom! boom!
In the unclear video, two violent bombing sounds can be heard clearly.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling white light came out of the explosion, and then transformed into an orange mushroom cloud.
"It's really a fascinating scenery." Malone, chief of the Australasian General Staff, said with a look of obsession.
In the eyes of the unknown, this is just a fascination with natural scenery, but in the eyes of those in the know, this kind of scenery comes at a certain price.
Although no one pays attention to the dead and injured people of the island nation, doesn't it cost money to build the atomic bomb?
But looking at the faces of these guys watching the video, it's clear that they are willing to pay this kind of effort.
"It's a pity that there is only one." Defense Secretary Thomas Yue stood aside and said with some regret.
"Don't worry. The people of the island country will not surrender so easily." Chief of General Staff Malone was dumbfounded and explained: "Tokyo is not like Hiroshima. There are many Europeans and Americans there. If you want to bomb Tokyo with an atomic bomb, you must at least We need to get those annoying guys out."
As Secretary of Defense, General Thomas was naturally aware of the staff's plan. It looked like there was only one atomic bomb this time, but in reality it was just an appetizer.
The purpose of the General Staff is to expel foreigners currently in the island country.
After those Europeans and Americans left the mainland of the island country, it was time for the large-scale nuclear bombing of Australasia to officially begin.
As for whether the island government will surrender, this is basically obvious.
The island nation is a crazy country and their people are crazy too.
Because of this, many militant factions have emerged in the island country, and their attitudes are extremely radical.
If the island government wants to surrender, it will have to see whether those radical militant factions agree.
What's more, according to current intelligence, the emperor and prime minister of the island country are both members of the main war faction, making it even more impossible for the island country's government to surrender.
But that's part of Australasia's plan. As long as the island government does not surrender, the next step will definitely be the end of the island people.
Because in the nuclear bombing plan formulated by the Australasian General Staff, the number of atomic bombs dropped on the island country was at least 20.
"The video was successfully copied into three copies, one is given to His Majesty, and one is kept in the National History Museum. As for the remaining copy, after the public screening at today's press conference, it will be handed over to three major film studios to be made into a movie. Defense Secretary Thomas said with a smile: "Such good news needs to be shared with the world, and at the same time, through the pressure of the media, foreigners in the island country should be allowed to leave as much as possible."
Chief of General Staff Malone nodded and had no objection to Minister Thomas's words.
Soon, this video was copied into three copies, and Arthur also saw the real scene of the bombing of Hiroshima in the palace.
"Is there any specific data on the casualties in Hiroshima?" Arthur asked with some expectation.
"There are only estimated data from the nuclear weapons research and development test project team, and there has been no movement from the island country yet." Defense Secretary Thomas, who was responsible for sending the videotape to Arthur, replied.
As he spoke, Thomas handed over a document that had been prepared for the estimated explosion range and casualty range of this nuclear explosion.
"The total destruction radius is estimated to be 5 kilometers, and the destroyed area is about 27 square kilometers?" Arthur looked at the estimated document in detail, without any fluctuation or pity in his heart.
"The explosion range covers the entire urban area of Hiroshima and most military bases. It is expected to kill and injure at least 120,000 civilians and 330,000 troops?" Arthur frowned and asked with some confusion: "Why can it only kill and injure more than 300,000 enemies?" Troops? According to intelligence, the enemy has deployed more than a million troops near Hiroshima, and our atomic bomb can only cause damage to one-third of them? "
"Your Majesty." Minister Thomas looked at Arthur, who was still not satisfied with the power of the atomic bomb, and quickly explained: "This only counts the data within the explosion range of the atomic bomb, and does not take into account the secondary damage caused by radiation.
If the damage caused by radiation is included, our bombing can kill at least more than 700,000 islanders. "
After hearing Minister Thomas' explanation, Arthur nodded with satisfaction, but then turned around and asked: "Is there no response from the island government? I don't want the atomic bomb we worked so hard to build to be useless."
Minister Thomas nodded repeatedly and said as if to ensure: "There is currently no response from the island government, but according to our predictions, it is impossible for the island government to surrender so simply."
Looking at Arthur's actions, let alone the island government's lack of response, even if the island government planned to surrender now, Minister Thomas would never dare to agree.
Who dares to accept the surrender of the island nation unless all 20 atomic bombs are dropped? Isn't this openly contradicting Arthur?
In the view of Minister Thomas, Arthur's inquiry is more like an attitude, that is, Arthur's attitude that he will not accept the surrender of the island country for the time being.
Under the premise that Arthur made his position clear, as Arthur's confidant, he would definitely share Arthur's worries.
How to share Arthur's worries? Of course, we will do everything we can to prevent the island country's government from surrendering in advance, and then launch a large-scale nuclear bombing of the island country.
Later in the afternoon, the Australasian Foreign Affairs Department held a press conference.
At this time, the foreign affairs department gathered many media from home and abroad, the largest number of which were of course Australasian newspapers and media.
This is also easy to understand. After all, Australasia is not the only country where war broke out at this time. Most of Europe is currently suffering the baptism of war.
"Everyone, before today's press conference begins, I would like to ask you to watch a newly shot real video. The incident in the video really happened. If you have any questions, please raise your hands and ask questions after watching the video." Minister of Foreign Affairs Wellington Crowe said with a smile.
Ignoring the doubts of the media and newspaper reporters present, Wellington Crowe motioned to his subordinates to start playing the video that had been prepared.
Although everyone was confused, the video had already started to play, and they could only watch the real video that Wellington Crow said before considering what the diplomatic department meant.
"Valentin, target Hiroshima, lock on target immediately."
As soon as the video started, there was a loud noise. Immediately afterwards, there were the words of a man.
"Hiroshima?" The reporter's knowledge is still very broad, and many people still have impressions of this medium-sized and large city in the island country.
As the video progressed, the reporters realized that this was an air force mission conducted by Australasia, and it was most likely the mission to bomb Hiroshima.
But the problem is that as World War II continues to this day, countless cities are being bombed every day. Why did Australasia take a special video of the bombing of Hiroshima and hold a diplomatic press conference to broadcast it?
To show off your power to the islanders?
The video quickly gave the answer.
As something similar to a bomb but much larger than the bomb was thrown towards Hiroshima, the bomber in the video began to quickly escape over Hiroshima.
About forty seconds later, a brilliant white light suddenly appeared over Hiroshima in the distance, followed by a mushroom cloud and a huge shock wave ring.
The reporters could no longer sit still and stood up one after another. If they weren't afraid that they would miss some big news if they took their eyes off the video, I'm afraid these reporters would have started asking questions.
About ten seconds later, most of Hiroshima was destroyed by the power of the explosion and the impact of the shock wave, and the video ended.
"Minister Wellington, is this real?" Although Minister Wellington had said that the video was real before the video started playing, many reporters who saw the shocking scene were still a little unwilling to believe that humans could actually There are such powerful weapons.
"Of course." Minister Wellington nodded and said with a smile on his face: "Everything in the video is true, and it is all about the special operations in Hiroshima this morning. I know you are all wondering, now you can Hand asked."
Hearing this, all the reporters raised their hands, fearing that they would not be seen.
Wellington motioned to the reporter in the middle of the first row to ask the first question.
"Minister Wellington, what kind of weapons are in the video? What are the Internet casualties in the island country?" the reporter asked impatiently.
"I can only tell you that this is the most powerful weapon newly developed in Australasia. The weapon code is Mors-3. As for the casualties of the island nation, although we do not have exact data, it is certain that most of the urban area of Hiroshima Already destroyed," replied Wellington with a smile.
Hearing Wellington's affirmative speech, all the media and newspapers present were shocked, and the local newspapers in Australasia were no exception.
This is simply too appalling to be believed.
To put it most considerately, this powerful weapon does not seem to be a product of this era.
Not to mention science fiction, most reporters feel that it is a bit dreamy.
One weapon can destroy most of the city? Doesn't this mean that a few dozen weapons can destroy a medium-sized country, and hundreds of such weapons can destroy a great power-level country?
"Minister Wellington, what is your country's production of this kind of weapon? Can each weapon ensure such power?" Media from other countries quickly asked.
This is no longer a simple press conference. If Australasia really possesses such a weapon, it will have a huge impact on the world pattern.
Let alone the enemies of Australasia, I am afraid that even allies like Britain and France will be frightened.
"This is not the theme of this press and diplomacy conference." Wellington did not choose to answer this question, but declined with a smile, and then continued: "
The purpose of publishing this video is that we hope to use the influence of the world's media to advise all non-island people in island countries to leave the island country within three days as much as possible. As long as this war continues, our special operations will not cease.
The next city to be bombed may be Tokyo. Therefore, for the safety of expatriates around the world, I hope you can convey the truth. "
