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-yellow 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 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 atomic bombs, 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 3.5 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 could kill at least 700,000 islanders. "

After hearing Minister Thomas's 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 has been no response from the island government yet, 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 must do everything possible 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, the countries where the war broke out at this time are not limited to Australasia. At present, most of Europe is suffering from the baptism of war.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before the start of today's press conference, I would like to ask you to watch a real video that was recently filmed. The events in the video are real. If you have any questions, please raise your hands after watching the video." Foreign Minister Wellington Crowe said with a smile.

Ignoring the doubts of the media and newspaper reporters present, Wellington Crowe signaled his subordinates to start playing the video that had been prepared long ago.

Although everyone was confused, the video had already started playing, and they could only watch the real video that Wellington Crowe said, and then consider what the diplomatic department meant.

"Valentine, target Hiroshima, lock the target immediately."

At the beginning of the video, there was a noisy voice. Then, a man's words came out.

"Hiroshima?" The reporter's knowledge is still very broad, and many people still have an impression of the medium and large cities of this island country.

As the video progressed, the reporters saw that this was an air force mission in Australasia, and it should be most likely the mission of bombing Hiroshima.

But the problem is that World War II has continued to this day, and countless cities have been bombed every day. Why did Australasia make a special video of the bombing of Hiroshima and hold a diplomatic news conference to broadcast it?

To show off to the islanders?

The video quickly gave the answer.

As something similar to a bomb but much larger than a bomb was thrown at Hiroshima, the bomber in the video began to quickly flee the sky of Hiroshima.

About forty seconds later, a brilliant white light suddenly appeared in the sky above Hiroshima in the distance, followed by a mushroom cloud and a huge shock wave ring.

The reporters couldn't sit still and stood up one after another. If they were not afraid that they would miss some big news if they took their eyes off the video, I'm afraid these reporters would have started to rush to ask 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 true?" Although Minister Wellington said that the video was true before the video started playing, many reporters who saw the shocking scene were still a little reluctant to believe that humans actually had such a powerful weapon.

"Of course." Minister Wellington nodded and said with a smile: "Everything in the video is real. It is all about the special operation in Hiroshima this morning. I know you are all confused. You can raise your hands now to ask questions."

Hearing this, all the reporters raised their hands, fearing that they would not be seen.

Wellington signaled the reporter in the middle of the first row to ask questions first.

"Minister Wellington, what weapon is in the video? What are the casualties of the island nation?" The reporter asked impatiently.

"I can only tell you that this is the most powerful weapon newly developed by Australasia, code-named Mors-3. As for the casualties of the island nation, although we don't have exact data, it is certain that most of Hiroshima city has been destroyed." Wellington replied 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 shocking, and it is even impossible to believe it.

To be considerate, weapons of this power are not like the product of this era at all.

Let alone science fiction, most reporters feel a little dreamy.

One weapon can destroy half of a city? Doesn't this mean that dozens of weapons can destroy a medium-sized country, and hundreds of such weapons can destroy a country at the level of a great power?

"Minister Wellington, how much of this weapon does your country produce? Can each weapon ensure such power?" The media of other countries asked hurriedly.

This is no longer a simple press conference. If Australasia really has this weapon, it will have a huge impact on the world situation.

Not to mention that Australasia's enemies will be terrified, I am afraid that even allies such as Britain and France will be terrified.

"This is not the theme of this press diplomacy conference." Wellington did not choose to answer this question, but smiled and declined, 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 populations in the island country to leave the island country as much as possible within three days. As long as this war continues, our special operation will not stop.

The next city to be bombed may be Tokyo, so for the safety of expatriates around the world, I hope you can convey it truthfully."
