Including Russia and the United Kingdom, they have also studied similar weapons, but without success. The United States is the first country to successfully develop and use this weapon in actual combat.
All intelligence agencies from various countries were mobilized to try to obtain accurate data on the explosion, Japanese casualties, and most importantly, photos of the explosion.
It’s best to have images.
This is the most intuitive way to understand the power of explosions.
In Chongqing, Boss Dai is very laid-back.
The old man did not give them an order to let the military commander get those things.
The reason is very simple. China does not have the strength to develop such weapons. Now that China and the United States are allies, the United States can have it.
It would be best to drop a few more to Japan.
The best one in each city, let’s see if the Japanese can continue to be tough.
Boss Dai is not the only one who has this idea, many Chinese people have it.
Over the years since Japan invaded Northeast China, China and Japan have already had a bloody feud.
Now the Japanese occupy large areas of mountains and rivers, and countless people are suffering early hardships.
The more Japanese die, the Chinese will just applaud.
High-level officials in the United States were completely disappointed with the Japanese. Despite such intense bombing, Japan still refused to surrender.
Fat Man was quickly assembled, and in the early morning of August 9th, the bomber took off with Fat Man.
The U.S. troops on the island suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Being with guys like this every day, it would be an absolute lie to say you are not afraid.
The fat man’s target is Kokura, an important military industrial city in Japan.
There are many military factories and warehouses here. Many Japanese military supplies are produced here and transported to various places.
Including cans, bedding, etc.
In addition, firearms and artillery can also be produced here. Blowing up Kokura is equivalent to blowing up Japan's military production capacity. At least they will not be able to produce enough weapons in a short period of time.
In the morning, the bombers arrived over Kokura.
The pilot quickly discovered the problem.
There is so much smog here today that the pilot cannot see clearly the city below.
What he carries is not an ordinary bomb, but a fat man that is more powerful than a little boy.
The bomb must be dropped at a high altitude to give him enough time to leave.
The U.S. military department, after receiving the frontline telegram from the pilots, immediately started a heated discussion. The bombers had enough fuel, but they could not keep hovering. The haze in industrial cities was not heavy fog. It would dissipate when the sun came out. Such haze was possible.
It won't disappear for a day.
Eventually, the higher-ups changed the bombing targets.
This time the target is Nagasaki.
Nagasaki was unfair. The Americans selected a total of four cities as bombing targets, namely Kyoto, Hiroshima, Yokohama and Kokura. Nagasaki was just one of the alternative cities, not the original target.
Kyoto was eliminated first. The United States needed Japan to surrender unconditionally, and they did not want to continue fighting.
Once all the top leaders of Japan are killed, Japan will suddenly become a piece of disorganized sand, or even a warlord state, which is even less in line with the interests of the Americans.
Hiroshima became the first choice, and Kokura was the second.
The bombers arrived over Nagasaki, where the weather was good and suitable for bombing.
As Fatty fell, the bomber immediately moved away as fast as possible. This place would turn into hell in a short while, and he didn't want to be affected.
At early 11 o'clock at noon, the dazzling sun visited Nagasaki, taking away at least 100,000 lives and more than 60% of the buildings here.
When the news came out, Japan was shocked again.
The Americans used their actions to prove to the Japanese that they had more than one such bomb.
Nagasaki was not a big city, but this one bomb completely destroyed the city.
No matter how big Tokyo is, how many bombs can it withstand?
If one is not enough, use five. If five is not enough, use ten. They can always be completely wiped out.
The power of this kind of bomb explosion is too great for humans to resist.
In Northeast China, the Russian army has arrived.
Just yesterday, Russia officially declared war on Japan. The so-called Kwantung Army had no idea that the Russian army in front of them was no longer the Russian army they fought a few years ago.
After fighting Germany, the reborn Russian army was simply not comparable to the "Kwantung Elites" who had not experienced many wars.
…
In Yanzhou, Ke Gong received the latest telegram.
Nagasaki was bombed by the US military, and Japan was likely to surrender in the next few days. The US bombs were so powerful that they completely defeated the Japanese's psychological defenses.
There are still radicals in Japan, but their number is much smaller than before.
Surrendering does not require death, even if at most one person dies, this kind of bomb can completely wipe out their whole family, or even the entire family.
Which is more important, these senior officials know very well.
"It seems that I lost this bet."
Ke Gong laughed and said to himself. He was talking about the bet he made with Chu Lingyun. When they bet on the time of Japan's defeat, Chu Lingyun predicted the time more accurately than he did.
It doesn't matter if he loses the bet. He would rather lose and want Japan to surrender as soon as possible.
If Japan holds on for one more day, their compatriots will continue to suffer under Japanese rule, and even more people will be killed by the Japanese.
"Mr. Ke, Old Han is back and has brought back a lot of German weapons."
Mr. Huang from the Logistics Department walked in excitedly from outside, and Ke Gong stood up abruptly.
Lao Han studied abroad in Erluo and has many friends there.
After Germany's defeat, Russia had a lot of captured German weapons in its hands. These weapons were disdainful to the Russians, but they were good things for the Red Party.
Lao Han went out of his way to find his former classmates and purchase a batch of such weapons.
He really did it.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Mr. Ke went out with Lao Huang. He knew that Lao Han did not buy many weapons this time, but if there was a first time, there would be a second time, and they would be able to buy more weapons in the future.
San Francisco, U.S.
Liu Chengzhu also knew the news about the US military's bombing of Japan, which was all published in newspapers. He did not expect that the United States already had such powerful weapons.
But it's not a bad thing for him, after all, the United States is an ally.
Liu Chengzhu is receiving mercenaries.
The mercenaries came from the second boss, who was also their military adviser. This time they came mainly to seek financial support. They contacted an arms dealer. This arms dealer had a large number of German weapons, ranging from tanks and cannons to pistols.
Everything you need.
The weapons in the hands of these mercenaries are not very good, and they want to take the opportunity to exchange for some German weapons, buy two mortars, and buy more machine guns to enhance their strength.
Liu Chengzhu is their financial backer and the boss behind the scenes. For this kind of thing, you must ask for instructions and financial support.
"You go back first, I will give you an answer in a few days."
Liu Chengzhu said softly that the mercenaries who came did not hesitate and left immediately. They needed to buy a lot of things this time and the price was not low. They didn't know whether the boss would agree to them.
However, with these weapons, their strength can be increased again, and they can even expand their personnel, and they will be able to do more things in the future.
Liu Chengzhu can't make the decision in this matter. He is just the boss' agent and needs to obey the boss's orders in everything.
In Shanghai, Chu Lingyun received a message from Liu Chengzhu.
It's not a problem for mercenaries to change their weapons. If there are more than 300 mercenaries, all of them are equipped with submachine guns. How much will it cost to equip them with more machine guns?
Besides, they are doing things for themselves, and their good arming is equivalent to their own strength.
"Agree, help them buy it, and ask the arms dealer how many weapons they have and what models they are."
Chu Lingyun personally responded to the call. Transoceanic telegrams require multiple layers of encryption, and password pads are often changed. The password for his contact with Liu Chengzhu would be changed once a month.
These codebooks are prepared in advance.
After sending the telegram, Chu Lingyun took out a code book again, and soon, Mr. Ke in Yanzhou received his telegram.
"German weapons, unknown quantity?"
After translating the content, Ke Gong's eyes immediately widened. The German Mauser 98 is probably much easier to use than the Japanese 38, and Germany has a lot of semi-automatic rifles, as well as their various artillery, all of which are made by red.
Something the party covets.
Can Chu Lingyun get such a weapon?
Mr. Ke was soon no longer surprised. Chu Lingyun’s relationship in the United States was very strong. There was indeed a way to obtain these weapons. The United States and the Russians both had a large number of captured German weapons. They did not use them themselves and kept them in the warehouse waiting for them.
destroy.
If you can buy a batch, it will definitely be of great help to them.
Ke Gong considered the issue more comprehensively. He was wondering whether this would have an impact on Chu Lingyun?
After all, he has to use his connections in the United States.
After a while, Mr. Ke sent a reply.
"Will it put you at risk?"
A few simple words, but full of care and love, Chu Lingyun felt warm in his heart, and he understood that Mr. Ke was afraid that this matter would make him suspicious.
After all, he wants to buy weapons, not just a few, but a lot.
"No, I have a way to avoid it."
Chu Lingyun called back. This was a clue from the mercenaries, and only Liu Chengzhu knew it.
Liu Chengzhu was absolutely loyal to him.
At that time, he can ask mercenaries to come forward to purchase these weapons, and then transport them to China via smuggling ships.
Japan will surrender in a few days, and the road will be absolutely safe.
The biggest problem is how to transport it to the hands of the Red Party. This is not a big problem for Chu Lingyun. Shiyuan Trading Company is not available, and there is also his Chu family's industry.
Moreover, the Red Party itself has its own means of transporting these things back.
They don't even need to be sent directly to their hometowns, they can be distributed to various places.
"Okay, I'll provide it without any impact on you."
Mr. Ke called back. He was still thinking about Chu Lingyun and could not bring adverse effects to Chu Lingyun.
"no problem."
Chu Lingyun sent back the last message and immediately turned off the radio station.
The Japanese in Shanghai are no longer in the mood to do anything else. Their future is unknown and they don't know what the future will bring. The smarter ones are thinking of transferring their property.
When they arrived at the dock, they found that all the ships had been stopped. It was said that it was the order given by Toru Ishihara.
Without a boat, they can't swim to Japan?
Many people wanted to go to Guangzhou or Hong Kong by land, and then find a way to return to Japan. However, they were shocked to find that the road out of the city was also blocked.
All Japanese were not allowed to leave Shanghai.
It was still Ishihara Hiroshi's order, but this time there was an instruction from the Emperor behind it.
Ishihara Hiroshi said that he would be optimistic about Shanghai and would lead the Japanese and Chinese in Shanghai to fight to the end, and would rather be broken than destroyed.
His attitude had been praised by Yu Ren before.
As everyone knows, Chu Lingyun is closing the door and beating the dog. No Japanese in the city can escape, waiting for their liquidation after the war.
No matter who they are, what their connections are, or their level, the Japanese in Shanghai cannot leave now.
Chu Lingyun ordered several people in the literary club to keep an eye on this matter, and the leader was Takemoto.
The Japanese in the city cursed and cursed, but they were helpless. No one could stop Ishihara Hiroshi's order. Ishihara Hiroshi had more power in Shanghai than Yu Ren.
In Japan, there are meetings and quarrels every day.
Yu Ren found Tian Junliu again, and Tian Junliu clearly told them that now they only have one way to surrender and accept the demands of China, Britain and the United States. After surrendering, they can still keep the empire. If they continue to be bombed by the Americans like this, I am afraid that the people of the empire will be collectively shattered.
Yu Ren locked himself in the room.
On August 15, Yuren personally came to the radio station and read out the unconditional surrender edict. The whole of Japan, as well as many Japanese in China, were stunned when they heard the broadcast.
They knew the empire would fail, but they didn't expect it to end like this.
Japan occupies a large amount of land in China and has millions of soldiers. They still have the power to fight, but the homeland cannot hold on. Yu Ren is also afraid of the sun coming to his palace. They no longer have any air control. The Americans
Bomb wherever you want.
By that time, Japan will no longer have an emperor.
You might die if you surrender, but at least you still have hope of survival. Japan made a request and surrendered unconditionally as long as the emperor was not deposed. This was what Shigeto said to him at the beginning.
As for rights, Yu Ren no longer thinks about it.
In Shanghai, Chu Lingyun was sitting in the office, with a radio next to him, and what was playing was Yu Ren's announcement of unconditional surrender.
Fang Shiyi stood aside, clenching his hands tightly.
Japan surrendered, finally surrendered.
Victory, the arduous war of resistance finally ended with their victory, and Yu Ren had ordered the Japanese troops in China to lay down their weapons.
All these Japanese soldiers became prisoners of war.
"Shi Yi, are you happy?"
Chu Lingyun asked with a smile, there are only two of them here, there is nothing to worry about.
Fang Shiyi nodded vigorously, and just when he was about to reply, his eyes turned red and tears fell unnaturally.
Happy, of course happy.
After more than ten years, they finally won the victory. The Japanese were very loyal to their emperor. Since Ikuto personally announced his surrender, there would not be many Japanese troops who resisted.
Especially in Shanghai, no one can object.
Ishihara Hiroshi was under the banner of Ikuto and resolutely obeyed all Ikuto's orders.
Anyone who dares not to listen will be killed immediately.
"It's all over, it's all over."
Chu Lingyun also felt melancholy and finally won, but victory did not mean the end. There would be three more difficult years ahead.
The battle between him and Fang Shiyi is still going on.
"Yamashita, block Shanghai immediately and don't allow anyone to leave. We obey His Majesty's orders and wait for the Chinese soldiers to come and take them over. Miyamoto, distribute your people to all military bases and keep them intact. Takemoto, watch those Chinese people.
The traitors, the empire has failed, they may cause trouble,"
Chu Lingyun came to the literary society and issued successive orders that Shanghai must be stabilized until it is taken over by the Chinese.
