"Very well done. I have also read some of the files. The detailed data are clear. You and the subordinates of the Police Department have worked hard. Each person was allocated one stone of rice and one million China Reserve Certificates. One stone of rice actually increased to 900,000.
Regarding China Reserve Bonds, who would believe it?" Chen Mingxiang said.
The price of rice in the Shanghai stock market has been rising since New Year's Day. In March, it was still 150,000 China Reserve Bonds per stone of rice. In May, it reached 300,000. In June, it actually reached 900,000 China Reserve Bonds!
"Director, our police academy has never announced whether it will recruit the third batch of trainees as scheduled. Both the city government and the gendarmerie have asked me about this matter," said Lu Ying, who also serves as the executive vice principal.
"In this turbulent period, let's slow down the enrollment work for the time being. The police academy has no food supply. Are we going to let the trainees go to class hungry?"
"If anyone asks you, you should report it truthfully. Our police department has a lot of China Reserve Bank bonds. The Shanghai Branch of China Reserve Bank opened its vault and let us use trucks to pull it, but we can't buy food on the market!" Chen Mingxiang said.
It has increased from more than 20 yuan to 900,000 yuan, an increase of more than 40,000 times. It has only been a few years. It is hard to accept when I think about it.
For the Secretary of Police, money is not a problem. Chen Mingxiang can approve it as much as Zhou Fahai wants. There are plenty of China Reserve Bank bonds in the vault of the Shanghai branch of China Reserve Bank, but the problem is that there is no food!
"It's strange to say that after the US military captured the Japanese island of Okinawa, there seemed to be no movement. I don't know what the next step will be like!" Ma Xiaotian said.
The U.S. military has been silent for a long time. It sends planes to bomb the Japanese mainland every now and then. Not only are the Japanese suspicious, but even the traitors in the Wang puppet government are worried. Is the U.S. military going to turn around and launch an attack on the Japanese army in China?
Ding ding, the phone rang.
"Okamura-san, what are you saying, you want me to go to the gendarmerie immediately? A major event has happened in the empire? Okay, wait a moment, I'll be there right away!" Chen Mingxiang picked up and said.
Lieutenant Colonel Okamura Mitsuru called, and his tone was very urgent. It seemed that something terrible had happened. Chen Mingxiang was also thrown into confusion. The Japanese government announced that the war had been defeated?
"Boss, what happened?" Du Shengjian asked hurriedly.
"It's still unclear. It sounds like the sky is about to fall. Could it be that the Emperor of Japan was killed by a US bomber? Just wait for my call. I'll go to the Military Police Headquarters right away!" Chen Mingxiang said.
The four section chiefs of the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai were all in Lieutenant Colonel Okamura's office. The atmosphere was very low. Lieutenant Colonel Yoshida even had red eyes.
Seeing this scene, Chen Mingxiang was really confused about the situation. Could it be that his words came true and Japan was really going to surrender?
"What's wrong with you? What happened?" Chen Mingxiang asked hurriedly.
"I just received a telegram from the Tokyo Military Police Headquarters. Two days ago, on the 6th, Hiroshima in our Empire of Japan was attacked by an atomic bomb from the US military."
"The number of casualties and injuries among Japanese people in the entire city reached 140,000, and the bustling city turned into a pile of ruins. This was even worse for the empire. Yoshida-kun's family was also unfortunately killed!" Okamura Shisanyong said.
He said in a sad tone.
"Yoshida-kun, please express your condolences. This is really sad news! Atomic bomb? Is it a new type of aerial bomb developed by the US military?"
"How many heavy bombers and how many bombs did the US military deploy to bomb a city as big as Hiroshima to cause such consequences? Didn't the empire's air defense early warning force remind the people to avoid the bombing?" Chen Mingxiang asked suspiciously.
.
In fact, not to mention him, even within the US military itself, not many people know about weapons of mass destruction such as atomic bombs.
"This is also the first time I have heard of the term atomic bomb. I don't know what it is. The Tokyo Military Police Headquarters said it is an extremely powerful weapon developed by the US military. One atomic bomb almost destroyed Hiroshima. It is really unbelievable.
Dare to imagine!" Okamura Shizo said, with a look of fear in his eyes.
Just one bomb can destroy a city?
Chen Mingxiang thought he heard a joke. With his knowledge base, he could not understand such a thing. But looking at the expressions of the four major section chiefs in the office, it didn't look like a joke. So, he was also confused. Atomic bomb, what?
bomb?
On August 6, the 509th Bomb Group of the 20th Air Force of the U.S. Army, commanded by Colonel Tibbets, the group leader, received a report from a weather reconnaissance aircraft about good weather in the Hiroshima area, and carried out bombings with other bombers carrying conventional bombs.
A group of B-29 long-range heavy bombers flew toward the Japanese mainland together.
The Air Force Headquarters set the time for Colonel Tibbets to drop the atomic bomb over Hiroshima at 8:15 Japan time that morning.
The flight between Tinian Island and Hiroshima in the Mariana Islands is about 2,700 kilometers and requires six and a half hours of flight. The result was dropped by pilot Paul Tibbetts at 8:15:17.
The Yuan Yu bomb, codenamed "Little Boy", was fired in just over seventeen seconds according to the prescribed time, and the calculation was very accurate.
Hiroshima is the location of the headquarters of the Second Home Defense Army of Japan. Shunroku Hata is stationed here. There is also a notorious butcher and executioner Hisao Tani. He is the commander of the 59th Army and his headquarters is also located here.
City.
The atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima was the first time in human history that such a weapon was used to deliver live ammunition. All buildings within a radius of about 1,600 meters from the center of the explosion were destroyed, and about 70,000 civilians died.
More than a thousand people were injured, about 68,000 were injured, and a circular city area of about 3.2 kilometers in diameter was destroyed.
The Japanese base camp soon received news that Hiroshima had been bombed by a very destructive bomb. Witnesses claimed that before the bomb exploded, there were large fireballs and strong flashes in the air. After the explosion, white smoke clouds rushed into the sky, and they were
Due to the strange mushroom-shaped phenomenon, the Army General Staff Headquarters roughly knew what type of bomb it was.
Lieutenant General Seizo Arisu, the second chief of the Army Staff Headquarters, and nuclear physicist Dr. Yoshio Nishina quickly flew to Hiroshima for on-site inspection and concluded that this was definitely an atomic bomb!
Japan is also conducting research on atomic weapons. Five important equipment, cyclotrons, have been installed so far, two at the "Research Institute of Physics and Chemistry" in Tokyo, two at the Imperial University in Osaka, and one at the Imperial University in Kyoto.
University.
The person in charge of this research in Japan is Dr. Yoshio Nishina, a famous Japanese nuclear physicist who has studied in England, Germany, Denmark and other countries for many years. He is a good friend of Einstein.
Although the atomic bomb was not developed, Yoshio Nishina was as familiar with this weapon as the experts from the US military. When he saw the situation at the scene, he immediately knew what was going on.
