One hundred and fifty-eight, Japan that continues to be calm

The sky burned, the atmosphere began to evaporate, the wind was mixed with the energy of destruction, and the whole shijie was burned to ashes......

This kind of scene doesn't seem to be very realistic, but it really happens.

Rich and poor, soldiers and civilians alike, can only hold their heads and wail, and then be indiscriminately burned to ashes.

Everything was incinerated, both living and inanimate, leaving only a white ash to remain.

-- Although the nuclear warheads that bombarded Osaka were "only" "only" 200,000 tons of TNT explosives, which was "only" 1 percent of the nuclear bomb at the Sasebo Military Port and 300 percent of the nuclear bomb on Mt. Fuji, the explosion was no worse than the first two because the center of the explosion was located in a bustling metropolitan area, not a remote military port like Sasebo, or a barren mountain like Mt. Fuji.

The people and animals on both sides of the Yodo River, near the center of the explosion, suddenly vaporized and disappeared like dry ice, leaving at most a vague humanoid trace on the stone slabs and walls. A little further away from the heart of the explosion, the charred remains of men, women, and children can be seen. Farther afield, some people were lucky enough to be alive, but either their skin was badly burned or their eyes were burned into two holes.

Within five kilometers of the blast. As soon as a person stands in the open air or near a window, his clothes will burn, and his bare skin will be severely burned from burning. The instantaneous high temperature caused by the intense light radiation also ignited a wide range of fires in all directions. Let everything that can catch fire burn, and Zuihou will merge into a sea of fire that spreads rapidly until there is nothing left to burn.

And a shock wave appeared a moment later. It also formed the most violent superstorm in the history of Osaka Castle, which flattened the million-person metropolis in an instant--the vast open and densely populated water-network plains around Osaka virtually facilitated the ravages of nuclear explosions--all the buildings in the city, except for a few of the strongest earthquake-resistant concrete buildings, were almost completely destroyed: Osaka Castle, built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in extreme luxury, and Horyuji Temple, a famous ancient temple with a long history and full of incense, All of them were reduced to rubble in the flash of a nuclear explosion......

On the other hand. A large ball of fire, carrying the blazing smoke and dust, swirled more and more brightly, expanding bigger and brighter...... The evaporated water vapor gradually formed a straw hat-shaped cloud above the fireball. Mixed with the dust column raised by the ground, it eventually became a huge mushroom cloud that stood above the sky, running from the ground of Osaka all the way to the stratosphere, and was as striking as the legendary Tower of Babel in the Bible!

――Not only Kobe and Nara, which are 20 kilometers away. Even the ancient city of Kyoto, which is 50 kilometers away. The frightened people could clearly hear the loud noise coming from the direction of Osaka and saw the mushroom cloud rising with their own eyes......

The reporter of the "Frankfurter Zeitung", who had just left the disaster area in Tokyo and came to the newly opened German embassy here in Kyoto, the famous Soviet spy Richard ? Sorge, from the lounge of the German Embassy, watched the mushroom cloud rising in the sky through the window in amazement...... Soon after, in a letter to the German headquarters of the Frankfurter Zeitung, he described the incident in the following lyrical tone:

“…… It was as if another sun had appeared in the sky. A dazzling light shone and a huge cloud of smoke rose into the sky. A hot wind swept in and destroyed everything on the earth...... It was as if the flames of hell had turned the earth into lava, the rivers, lakes and seas were boiling, the fish were boiled and floated on the water, the bustling cities were destroyed, the people covered in fire fled in all directions until they turned to ashes, and black rain fell from the sky, pouring on the bodies of the survivors, burning their skins, and people were terrified and watched the end coming......"

-- Like the two previous nuclear explosions, the mushroom clouds from the Osaka nuclear explosion contained a large amount of radioactive fallout, which mixed with the water vapor in the clouds, forming a highly radioactive "black rain" that polluted rivers and ponds, and caused most of the refugees who drank the radioactive sewage to die within a week.

At the British Embassy across the street, when the British gentlemen were surprised and inexplicable, a certain Indian clerk from Brahmin looked at the mushroom cloud in the distance in a daze, and muttered a war poem from the ancient Indian mythological epic "Mahabharata":

“…… A single bombardment squandered all the destructive power of the universe!

Pillars of blazing smoke and flames rose into the sky as bright as ten thousand suns......

It is a weapon unknown to nobody, a thunderbolt of steel, a messenger of death, that has reduced the entire race of Reshili and Andaka to ashes......

Their limbs burned beyond recognition, and only their hair and nails fell to the side,

The pottery crumbled for no apparent reason, the feathers of the birds turned white, and after dark, all the crops were attacked......

To escape the fire, the soldiers jumped into the river and washed their weapons as they washed their bodies......

The intoxicated and victorious, the merciless wicked, the wielding of steel and lightning, are the destroyers of that nation......"

At the same time, Prince Akihito, who was young and frail and had poor resistance, unfortunately died due to severe radiation sickness, and the empress, who was also lingering on the sickbed, was very sad when she heard the news and fell unconscious. And the emperor himself has long been ignorant of people, but he has been lucky enough to avoid this human tragedy.

On the same day, Prime Minister Keisuke Okada, who was recuperating on the outskirts of Kyoto, looked at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance, and suddenly became angry and vomited blood and died.

Late the next night, a jet bomber took off from Shanghai and dropped leaflets like snowflakes in Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and other places:

“…… Boundless destruction will continue to fall from the sky until one of Japan and China falls completely! ”

“…… I would like to inform the Japanese militarist invaders that the next city to be destroyed will be Hiroshima! ”

However, despite such a clear warning issued by the Shanghai Soviet Government, the Japanese officials, who had been hit by the three nuclear bombs, still showed astonishing stubbornness, silence, and indifference -- they continued to describe the Osaka nuclear bombing as a natural disaster of the "third shock," and did not even do the work of evacuating the citizens of Hiroshima: on the one hand, the country was already in chaos from top to bottom, the cabinet and the court were paralyzed, and no one stood up to take charge; On the other hand, those militarists who have gone mad, faced with the prospect of the imminent defeat of the war of aggression against China, have gritted their teeth and do not want to believe it, let alone dare to believe it!

On the other hand, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, those Americans who can still watch the fire from the other side at the moment can no longer sit still. (To be continued......)
