Puppet Manchukuo, Changchun, Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters (former Japanese Consulate in Changchun)

For the Japanese, the headquarters was originally built by the Russians, but it was not a good place to live – the gloomy granite façade, the chandeliers in the form of large crystal chandeliers, and the red and black teak wall panels made the entire headquarters stand out from the clean and refined oriental architectural style. It feels so gloomy, empty and helpless...... Almost every Japanese person is very unimpressed by this kind of alpine ethnic style architecture, and it was not until a clever general clerk specially renovated and opened up a few Japanese-style rooms covered with tatami mats that the Japanese soldiers found some feeling.

At this moment, although the night was dark, no one from the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro, to the general orderlies, had any rest.

- On a hot summer night with the sound of cicadas, a chandelier with a frosted tortoiseshell cover in an elegantly decorated Japanese room glows softly. A heavy brass fan gently rotated, bringing some coolness to the room, but it still couldn't dispel the solemn atmosphere that seemed like substance.

As a result, the beautiful geisha who were cooking tea soup and bringing pastries to several high-ranking generals couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Of course, they don't dare to expect to be as intimate and ambiguous as they usually are. But looking at the solemn appearance of these generals with gloomy faces, sitting upright, and judging like the usual two people, these women with sharp intuition still realized a trace of indescribable subtle emotions: like anger, mixed with confusion, and a little vague panic...... And deep down, I vaguely felt that something very terrible was happening somewhere......

Admiral Minamijiro sat upright at a low table. His face sank like water, and his hands were folded at the broad elbows of his kimono, and he thought sullenly. Several generals didn't dare to speak too loudly. In front of them. There is a combat sand table map of North China, on which small flags and arrows are used, showing the brilliant martial arts of the Imperial Japanese Army in the past six months - conquering Pingjin, sweeping Hebei, seizing Shandong, and conquering the Central Plains in a war, destroying nearly 300,000 enemies before and after...... Then peep into the Taihang Mountains and the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, which is in stark contrast to the South China dispatch army that has suffered repeated setbacks in recent days.

However. When the main island of the Japanese Empire gradually turned to scorched earth, any victory on the mainland of China would be a dream.

- Sasebo and Nagasaki. and the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Navy, which was destroyed in April; Then, Shizuoka, Kofu, Yokohama, and Tokyo, which were destroyed by the "Mt. Fuji Showa Great Spit"; Now, even Osaka, the city of wealth at the mouth of the Yodo River, has been destroyed by natural fires that cannot be stopped by manpower...... Because Tokyo has become purgatory. The holy car had to be relocated back to the old shrine in Kyoto. Who knew that not long after the Imperial Rim entered Kyoto, Osaka, which was just a stone's throw away, suffered another catastrophe.

It is said that after the bad news, the Osaka Fourth Division on the Central Plains battlefield almost collapsed, and they lost their will to fight from top to bottom, so they could only withdraw from the Luoyang front line, temporarily break away from the line of fire, and recuperate. And the Tiger Prison Pass strategy that has just started can only be stopped.

What is even more unbelievable is that the Communist Army of China entrenched in Shanghai. He continued to claim that the three catastrophes were the work of their secret weapons, and even came up with some evidence that was said to be very convincing...... At this moment. The generals and colonels of the Kwantung Army Headquarters gathered here and listened with bated breath to the special radio broadcast of the People's Radio of the Shanghai Soviet Government -- "Lecture on Nuclear Weapons Knowledge."

By the time the Japanese Kwantung Army noticed the lecture program, the Shanghai People's Radio had already rebroadcast it for the third time.

- The reason why they decided to publicize the hole cards in their hands was also a helpless move for the traverser and the Red Army: they had already lost three nuclear bombs in a row, with a total yield of more than 80 million, and crushed Japan's naval fortress, economic center, political center, and even the national symbol (Mt. Fuji), but the Japanese had no intention of backing down...... If this continues, I am afraid that even if the modern Chinese nuclear arsenal is lost, the Japanese militarists here will still be comfortable in a radioactive wasteland, and continue to plan a war of aggression against China regardless of it!

No way, as the so-called ignorant are fearless, even if you destroy many enemies, if the other party insists on treating this as a natural disaster, what should you do?

So, after many meetings and discussions, Ms. Jinchina finally had to stand up and educate the enemies of the imperialist class about certain nuclear knowledge through the radio station - just like the people of modern Shijie, if they do not have the concept of a Star Destroyer in their minds, how can they have a desire and awe for this weapon? In this way, it is necessary to make people understand as soon as possible that this is not the ravages of natural disasters, but the power of the latest weapons of the Chinese Red Army. Only in this way can the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army carry out the much-loved nuclear blackmail and directly scare the imperialists.

-- Let all the enemies of the capitalist class understand the principle and power of nuclear weapons, and weigh the consequences of continuing to interfere in the Chinese revolution...... Since the ignorant are fearless, it is impossible for them not to be afraid as long as they know more.

What the? Worried that the imperialist powers, after learning the principles of nuclear weapons, will convene experts to organize a breakthrough and drum up their own nuclear weapons?

It's okay, it's okay, the key jishu obstacle to making a nuclear bomb has never been the design and manufacture of the nuclear bomb itself, but how to separate a sufficient amount of enriched uranium, as long as you can get so many weapons-grade uranium and plutonium, even an ordinary electrical engineer can make a nuclear bomb!

But the problem is that with the conditions of this era, it is difficult to accumulate so many nuclear materials - the "Manhattan Project" carried out by the United States during World War II lasted three years, hired 200,000 workers, and spent a total of 2 billion US dollars (the US dollar at that time was much more valuable than the green ticket in the future, the cost of a submachine gun was only 10 US dollars, and the total savings of the Kuomintang government after the end of the Anti-Japanese War were only 900 million US dollars), and Zuihou only built three nuclear bombs...... If he had paid such a big price just for interfering in the Chinese revolution, even President Roosevelt would not have been able to withstand the pressure of the consortium.

What's more, the traversers who have lost their temperance. Originally, a "full Shijie nuclear weapons proliferation jihua" was formulated, and a nuclear weapons auction conference was planned in Shanghai to maximize the extraction of all kinds of scarce resources - small countries like Luxembourg sandwiched between the great powers. As long as you buy a nuclear bomb, you can ensure that the country is worry-free, and I believe that no matter how difficult it is, they will try to raise money. As for such big financiers as Germany and the USSR, not to mention. Of course, Britain, France, the United States, Japan, and other countries, which are currently hostile to China, are not on the list of buyers who are allowed to bid for the time being.

As for the Japanese archipelago, it became a wonderful nuclear Shiyan shooting range - mountains, plains, rivers, harbors, cities, villages, living people, livestock, fortresses, warships. What effect a nuclear bomb can produce is up to the buyers.

Although this may be a bit cruel to the Japanese, it is also a no-brainer - the so-called strategic nuclear deterrence. The first is that you have nuclear weapons in your hands, the second is that you must be determined to use nuclear weapons in war, and the third is that you have to convince your opponent that you dare to use your nuclear weapons in war! And in this era when nuclear weapons have not yet been invented, one more has to be added. That's where you have to make it clear to everybody. Nuclear weapons really have the power to destroy shijie on the battlefield! In this way, instead of throwing nuclear bombs everywhere and creating a large number of enemies of life and death for the Chinese nation, it is better to concentrate on "nuclear leveling Japan" in order to "set an example to the imperialist powers" and to carry out the exhibition and sale of nuclear weapons by the way.

Anyway, the relationship between China and Japan in this era is already a life-and-death relationship, even if the hatred comes deeper. It is also that lice do not itch, and debts do not worry...... And the other imperialist powers, no matter how sad they are, do not suffer a fatal blow to the safety of their own countries. Who dares to continue to attack the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in the face of the danger of eating nuclear bombs at home, and to avenge Japan?

Of course, if the Japanese militarists were able to suddenly understand their thoughts and decisively kneel down and beg for mercy, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army would not be unable to spare their lives.

-- However, it is a pity that these samurai of the Japanese Empire, who were full of war ideas such as "Eight Pillars and One Universe" and "Martial Arts in the World", obviously did not have the consciousness of groveling and surrendering to the "inferior nation of China" and abandoning their weapons......

“…… The so-called nuclear weapons are a general term for weapons that use the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion reactions to produce explosive effects and have a destructive effect of mass destruction. At present, there are two types of nuclear weapons that our Shanghai Soviet Government has used against Japan: atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs. Among them, fission weapons mainly made using the fission chain reaction principle of heavy atomic nuclei such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239 are commonly known as atomic bombs; Thermonuclear weapons or fusion weapons, which are mainly made using the thermonuclear reaction principle of light atomic nuclei such as heavy hydrogen (deuterium) or super heavy hydrogen (tritium), are often called hydrogen bombs - hydrogen bombs are powerful, but they are also difficult to make. The power of the atomic bomb is less, and the difficulty of jishu is slightly lower......

First of all, the invention and manufacture of the atomic bomb was mainly based on the following scientific principles:

1. Einstein's mass-energy equation, i.e.: e=mc^2.

2. Heavy nuclear fission. Some special materials, such as uranium and other radioactive materials, can split into neutrons and lighter atoms after being bombarded by neutrons, and lose a part of the mass, which is the mass converted into energy; There are certain conditions required for heavy nuclear fission, mainly to compress the uranium element into a certain volume so that fission can occur, and this volume is called the critical volume.

3. Chain reaction. Under certain conditions, heavy nuclear fission can continue to occur until the reactive material is exhausted.

In general, the atomic bomb is a weapon that uses heavy nuclear fission to instantly release huge energy and cause devastating damage. The material used for fission in the atomic bomb is uranium-235 or plutonium-239, isotopes of uranium or plutonium, and their nuclei will split into two nuclei of similar size and weight after receiving a neutron, and at the same time release extremely large amounts of energy. When one kilogram of uranium-235 or plutonium-239 is fully fissioned, the energy released is approximately equal to the power of an explosion of 20,000 tons of high TNT explosives.

The interior of an atomic bomb based on the above principle is composed of two pieces of uranium, one large and one small, as well as an ordinary bomb. At the beginning, the two uranium blocks were separated, did not reach a critical volume, and no chain reaction occurred no matter how the neutrons bombarded. When detonated, only the normal bomb inside is detonated. By the impact force of the bomb, two pieces of uranium are attached together, thus reaching a critical volume, triggering a chain reaction. Heavy nuclear fission will continue until the uranium fuel is completely depleted. Since energy is proportional to mass in the mass-energy equation and the coefficient is the square of the speed of light, even though the mass being converted is very small, the energy produced is still very considerable.

Second, although the explosive power of the atomic bomb is already very impressive. But the destructive power of the hydrogen bomb is even better.

The so-called hydrogen bomb refers to the nuclear fusion reaction, or thermonuclear reaction, that uses the energy of the atomic bomb explosion to ignite the nuclear fusion reaction of lighter atoms such as deuterium and tritium, which are isotopes of hydrogen. Nuclear weapons that instantly release huge amounts of energy, also known as fusion bombs, thermonuclear bombs, and thermonuclear weapons. The lethal and destructive factors of the hydrogen bomb are the same as those of the atomic bomb, but the power is much greater than that of the atomic bomb. The power of an atomic bomb is usually a few hundred to tens of thousands of tons of TNT, while the power of a hydrogen bomb can reach tens of millions of tons or even hundreds of millions of tons of TNT. Its tactical jishu performance is better than that of the atomic bomb. It is also more versatile. The explosion reached a temperature of about 10 billion degrees, or 1,000 times the temperature of the Sun's center......"

- When the radio program ended for a long time, the generals of the Kwantung Army in the room still looked like they were wandering in the world. It wasn't until General Minamijiro, who was the leader, coughed dryly that he took the lead in opening the conversation, "...... I don't know what your opinion is on this statement of the Shanghai Communist Army? ”

“…… I don't understand it at all, but I still feel like it's amazing. Lieutenant General Nishio Toshizo, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, replied very honestly, and at the same time gave Toroshiro Kawabe, the chief of staff of the intelligence chief beside him, a look. …… Under are not physicists, for such the latest scientific theories. We should not be ashamed to ask questions about this issue and consult experts and scholars. ”

“…… Although he scoffed at the Shanghai Communist Army's wild fallacies, he managed to contact several university professors he knew well and asked them about the reason. Kawabe Torushiro hurriedly picked up the conversation and replied, "...... According to the scholars, they know a little about Einstein's mass-energy equation, but they have never heard of the subsequent heavy nuclear fission and chain reactions, and they suspect that it is the enemy's nonsense...... But on the other hand, according to information leaked by German and Swiss diplomats and certain news agencies, on July 2, the Shanghai Communist Army did launch a giant rocket and held a public launch ceremony, claiming to use it to bombard our country's Osaka ......"

“…… Regardless of whether the content of these broadcasts is nonsense or not, there is indeed a layer of fog that is incomprehensible to our generation in this communist army entrenched in Shanghai......" Major General Seishiro Saka, deputy chief of staff, stood up and said, "...... According to the reports sent back by the South China Dispatch Army on the battlefield of Chongming Island, the density of its artillery fire is staggering, and the sophistication of its armament is equally incomprehensible. Now that the South China Dispatch Army is falling apart and the country is in chaos, it is necessary for our Kwantung Army to shoulder its responsibilities and find out the enemy's reality and ...... through various means."

When Major General Seishiro Saka stood up to speak, all eyes were on the face of the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro.

Does that mean I'm going to be held responsible? General Minamijiro took a sip of tea from the teacup, and the muscles on his face jumped twice unconsciously, but he still reluctantly expressed his approval: "...... In that case, in the name of the Kwantung Army, let's contact the German or Swiss consul in Tianjin! Even if we are enemies fighting each other, it is necessary for us to establish a channel of communication with the Shanghai Communist Army......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

All in all, after about 72 hours of waiting, the Soviet government in Shanghai finally waited for a telegram of representations to the Japanese Kwantung Army forwarded by the German minister Todman. However, the content is not to show weakness and seek peace, to discuss negotiation matters, but to unceremoniously put forward a series of questions and demands:

1. How to prove the authenticity of your "heavy nuclear fission" and "chain reaction"?

2. How can you prove that the rocket launched by your army in Shanghai did fly to Osaka, China?

3. How do you prove that the three catastrophes of Sasebo, Mt. Fuji and Osaka were the work of your army and not the power of nature?

4. In order to prove the above doubts, please send a sample of the so-called "nuclear weapon" to Lushun as soon as possible for the imperial army ordnance department to check the authenticity.

If we are able to agree to the above requests, we will consider whether to negotiate a ceasefire with your army at our discretion......

For the Japanese army's wishful thinking, the traversers were suddenly angry and happy-"...... Sending samples to Lushun? Do they think it's a patent application? What a bunch of guys who don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin! Wang Qiu scolded, "...... Comrades, it seems that this nuclear bomb really can't be stopped! ”

So, on the morning of July 7, the Kwantung Army Command in Changchun received the following reply: "...... The nuclear bomb is bulky and inconvenient to deliver, so our side is expected to drop the next hydrogen bomb on the night of 7 July to conduct a new round of field tests on Hiroshima, your country, and your military can organize personnel to observe the ...... on their own."

-- At 11 o'clock in the evening of July 7, the Red Army in Shanghai once again used a remote-controlled unmanned jet to carry a hydrogen bomb with a 10 million ton TNT equivalent of explosives, which exploded over Hiroshima, an important city in western Japan, leveling the entire city in an instant and claiming millions of lives.

The next day, 8 July, Shanghai dispatched a high-altitude reconnaissance plane to take pictures of the Hiroshima nuclear bombing site and dropped a large number of leaflets in a very dark humorous style: "...... Now it's time to start quizzing, what's the next city to be destroyed? If you guess correctly, you'll be alive! (To be continued......)
