Chapter 893: Shocking Changes
On February 11, 1946, Japan's National Day, on the northwest shore of Tokyo Bay, a huge mushroom cloud suddenly rose from countless ceremonial flowers, and a powerful shock wave instantly leveled a large area of the city, killing hundreds of thousands of creatures here, and the emperor and all the members of the imperial family who were celebrating the National Day with the people were not spared, and many high-ranking military and political officials were killed on the spot......
Twenty-four hours later, near the Institute of Physics and Chemistry adjacent to Tokyo Imperial University, an ordinary-looking truck drove into a two-story warehouse, the door of which closed with all the windows. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In the Info warehouse, a group of men with Asian faces unloaded an assembled special detonator weighing more than 400 kilograms from a truck using improvised pulley equipment and loaded it into a metal ball placed in a hidden compartment on the lower level of the warehouse under the command of a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes. Over the next few hours, the middle-aged man, with a typical European face, carefully set up the detonator and set up all the controls with the help of several Chinese assistants. Everything was ready, everyone said goodbye to each other, except for the three Chinese youths who volunteered to stay, the rest of the people were evacuated in various ways after dark, some of them would leave Tokyo on the liner that night, others would take a tourist shuttle to the Fuji Mountains 80 kilometers away......
Sixty-four hours later, a Japanese who claimed to be a representative of Tiankor Co., Ltd. rented the two-story warehouse about 1,500 meters away from the Institute of Physics and Chemistry at a price slightly higher than the market price, and the purpose of the lease contract was to "store goods for sale - mainly scientific research and medical equipment", and the renter said that for the purpose of storing equipment, he would arrange for his staff to build specific shelves in the warehouse, and the construction would last for several days, during which there might be some noise, When the lease contract ended, he promised to return the warehouse to its original state. The owners of the warehouse would never have imagined that this group of people had a terrible intention to blow Tokyo into the sky, nor did they know that the physics and chemical research institute across the street was developing a top-secret weapon that could also raze Tokyo to the ground, including a cyclotron to separate uranium-235 and uranium-238, and a graphite reactor that was already in operation. Over the next few days, the tenants of the warehouse did arrange for workers to carry out the construction, and the noise not only aroused the curiosity of the neighbors, but also attracted the police and the military to interrogate and inspect them, but they did not find any problems with the behavior of Tianxing and the rental warehouse. Since then, trucks have been in and out of the warehouse almost every day, and the nearby military checkpoints have become accustomed to this, and the patrol officers have only occasionally come to pay attention, and no one has noticed that there is a hidden underground compartment in the warehouse, and no one has seen any foreigners enter the warehouse and stay for a long time......
Turning back 1,344 hours, the Swiss ocean-going freighter Moresonhorn sailed into the port of Yokohama on the shores of Tokyo Bay. As a staunch and permanently neutral country, Switzerland was one of the few countries in Europe that did not join the League of Nations, and as such was not bound by the League's determination, and maintained normal trade relations with Japan even during the war. After the "Moresson" docked at the port, it underwent tax and security inspections in accordance with Japanese regulations, and the goods that arrived with the ship were transferred to various parts of Japan in accordance with the transaction contract, including four high-end Mercedes-Benz cars purchased in private names, which were detained and examined by the Japanese customs during transit, and were later released by the Swiss Embassy in Japan. The Japanese would never have imagined that two of the cars had two kilograms of uranium-235 hidden in their engines, and that they were thousands of times more expensive than gold on the international market, and that the nuclear weapons program supported by the Japanese Army, also known as the "Ren Plan", was implemented by the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research in Tokyo, and the team led by top physicist Yoshio Nishina completed the theoretical research of nuclear weapons as early as two years ago, and has been working hard to extract the materials needed to make nuclear weapons ever since. However, due to the lack of uranium resources in Japan and its occupied areas, and the long-term trade sanctions imposed by the League of Nations, they could only find ways to smuggle nuclear materials, and the progress of extracting nuclear materials has not been satisfactory......
Rewind 1828 hours, and at the Irish royal palace in Limerick, the core members of the National Security Council met in top secret, convened by King Joachim I. After discussion and deliberation, the seven members voted 5 to 2 to approve the "Black Trojan Horse" proposed by His Majesty Joachim I, and this unimaginable plan was launched. The programme is expected to cost $1.5 billion - equivalent to a huge amount of $1.2 billion, half of which will be allocated from the Special Reserve by the National Security Council and half by the Irish Crown. It was undoubtedly the largest single independent operation in Ireland's history, and the vast majority of it was carried out by military intelligence and kept in complete secrecy from the Western allies, the United States and the Soviet Union. The core of this plan is to transport more than 5 tons of materials used to make atomic bombs to Japan in batches, then reassemble them, and detonate them near the Japanese nuclear program implementation agency, so that the Japanese side and the outside world believe that the accident caused by the loss of control of the nuclear reactor not only played a role in sabotaging Japan's nuclear program, but also indirectly supported China's desperate war of resistance. As soon as the program was launched, all Chinese spies trained by Irish intelligence and sent to Japan were activated, and a contingent of 3 Irish and 32 Chinese nationals was sent to Japan in advance. At this time, the Irish military had secretly stockpiled 12 kilograms of uranium-235, and in order to meet the critical mass of an atomic bomb in a short period of time, King Joachim I personally issued a directive to temporarily adjust the technical settings of each reactor and activate the fifth heavy water reactor, which was listed as a core strategic reserve......
Rewind 2,302 hours, following the pace of Germany's successful nuclear explosion, the first atomic bomb of the United States was successfully detonated deep in the desert of New Mexico, it uses plutonium-239 as the nuclear explosive material, and the estimated explosive yield is 30,000 tons***. Ireland, as the main partner of the US nuclear program, sent a number of physicists and military experts to the site to collect data, although the US did not immediately provide them with the key technical data of the nuclear explosion, but the results of the field observations provided a valuable reference for Ireland's nuclear weapons theoretical model, and verified the correctness of the implosion initiation method, so that the Irish military's nuclear research department calculated a more accurate threshold, thus providing a sufficient theoretical basis for their own nuclear weapons program. Under the current conditions, Ireland's nuclear research department considers itself to be fully capable of producing its atomic bomb in two months' time, with a reliability rate of more than 98 per cent......
Turning back 2,556 hours, Germany's first atomic bomb was successfully detonated in the wilderness of German East Africa, and the results of the explosion were very satisfying to the German military. Although the German government did not announce the news of the nuclear explosion, because Germany's development of nuclear weapons had already attracted the close attention of the great powers, the intelligence agents stationed in German East Africa from many countries noticed the great power caused by the nuclear explosion, and then probed the inside story through various channels. That evening, Natsuki asked Kaiser Wilhelm the Younger to confirm the matter by direct telephone, and the German ruler revealed that the power of the "Grand Champagne" was equivalent to a hundred salvos from the main guns of a Germania-class battleship, enough to destroy a city of a million people. It is estimated that the explosive yield of the German atomic bomb is 40,000 tons***, which is more than twice that of the first uranium-235 material atomic bomb in the old historical time and space, but considering William Jr.'s penchant for exaggerating the facts, Natsuki estimates that its yield is about 30,000 tons, and the weight of uranium-235 loaded into the atomic bomb is likely to be between 60-80 kilograms......
Back in Japan on the morning of February 11, 1946, the National Day celebration ceremony was underway, and the "Spear of Judgment" containing 16 kilograms of uranium-235 was detonated on time. At this moment, Ambro Lacey, a 40-year-old Irish nuclear physicist, and several of his Chinese assistants quietly looked in the direction of Tokyo from the mountainside of Mount Fuji. As the lightning bolt from the ninefold clouds pierced the sky, the heavens and the earth suddenly changed color. In his sight, he saw a huge fireball pouring out a large amount of white smoke, and immediately after, a huge purple pillar of fire rose to a height of three thousand meters at an extremely fast speed. It is like a living totem pole, carved with many grotesque faces, laughing wildly at the earth with a hideous expression. Just as the thing seemed to solidify, a large mushroom cloud suddenly appeared from its top, and the first mushroom cloud took the shape of a flower when it rose into the blue sky. Its huge petal edges curve downwards and are cream-colored on the outside and rosy on the inside. Gradually, this and the totem pole took on a colorful appearance, and its various parts were tumbling and steaming, like countless variegated rainbows forming a strange mountain, and many living substances were incorporated into these rainbows. The top of the pillar trembled through the white clouds, like a prehistoric monster with feathers around its neck. Looking around, I saw the feathers flying in all directions......
Seeing all this, Dr. Ambro-Lacey was silent for a long time, thinking that the vast city of Tokyo had become a living hell, with hundreds of thousands of living beings disappearing before his eyes, and the rulers who had ruled the fate of many Asian countries and hundreds of millions of people were like ants in the face of this terrible weapon.
As the strong wind blew, Dr. Lacey silently lit a cross on his forehead and chest, and whispered, "May these sinners rest in heaven......"
