A huge mushroom cloud rose out of thin air, and the light emitted from its center almost blinded people's eyes. Accompanying this blinding light was a hurricane with unprecedented destructive power. The hurricane brought high temperatures from the center of the explosion to the surrounding areas with overwhelming force. Diffusion, depending on the distance from the center of the explosion, wooden houses, trees, people and animals will either evaporate directly or turn into powder and dust; steel will melt, exposed mountains will vulcanize, and rivers will dry up...
At this time, there were Japanese planes cruising near the eight explosion points. Among the lucky Japanese pilots, several of them saw this world-changing scene with their own eyes. They were all stunned at the time and even forgot where they were. What are you doing?
"At that moment I thought I was in hell. No, maybe the scene in hell would not be as miserable as what I saw at that time. Many things that existed a few seconds ago disappeared out of thin air a few seconds later. ...A huge mushroom cloud was forming behind me. With the mushroom cloud as the center, I felt that a hurricane of no less than level 12 was sweeping towards me... At that time, I thought I was definitely dead, because I didn't think anyone could. Survive such an explosion..." This is "Witnessing the Hiroshima Nuclear Explosion" dictated by a Japanese pilot named Murano Akira in 1951. Through his description, it is not difficult to see the true power of the nuclear explosion.
"I clearly felt the vibrations coming from the ground. At that time, the Japanese around me thought there was an earthquake. Many people immediately fell to the ground based on their experience. Regarding the power of nuclear explosions, I was mentally prepared because of the reminder from the headquarters. "Yes, but I was still completely confused at the time. I had imagined the power of a nuclear explosion before, but when the nuclear explosion actually happened around me, I realized how ignorant I was..." This is what Li Zhenghao said a few years later. A diary that was disclosed was explained by this text in his diary. It is not difficult to understand why when nuclear explosions occurred in eight places in Japan, nearby Japanese people thought that a strong earthquake had occurred that day.
Eight nuclear bombs exploded at almost the same time, and the destructive power they produced caused strong earthquakes to be felt even in the Kanto region of Japan, which was far away from the explosion point, let alone Tokyo, which was relatively close to the explosion point. At this time, Ishihara Wanji was In his office, he was approving official documents. When the ground and the house suddenly shook violently, he thought there was an earthquake at first. He was about to stand up and hide in the yard when a dazzling light flashed outside the window. He hurriedly closed his eyes and held his hand. He stood facing the table. The flash did not last long. When he opened his eyes, it had disappeared. Just as he was about to open the door and go out, the phone on the table behind him rang. With Ishihara Wanji's current identity, ordinary The phone couldn't be reached at all, so he hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone. He then put the microphone next to his face, and the anxious voice of Junichiro Honda came from the earphones: "Your Excellency Ishihara, please pick me up, Mr. Ishihara. I have important intelligence reports."
Honda was a confidant promoted by Ishihara himself and was responsible for helping him with intelligence matters. Ishihara heard his voice and said: "I am Ishihara, Mr. Honda. Please tell me."
"Your Excellency, we have just received an urgent message from Mei that the Chinese may launch a special bombing against me today."
"Special bombing," Ishihara Wanji said in a condensed tone.
"Yes, Pavilion."
Honda couldn't finish what he said. Ishihara only heard an electronic blind tone suddenly rang out from the phone. He said "hey hey" in vain a few times, then frowned and put down the phone.
The earthquake felt stronger from the ground, and shouts of "Everyone should stay away immediately when the earthquake comes" rang out in the corridor outside. Ishihara Waner gritted his teeth, opened the door and walked out, walking into the yard. Ishihara Waner was immediately attracted by the people in the yard. He was shocked by the weird atmosphere, and then he followed the gazes of the others and saw the huge mushroom cloud that was rapidly expanding in the southwest. His heart immediately sank, "Super bomb," he murmured. He said to himself, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air the next moment.
"Sir, look what that is." One of his men came over and asked him humbly.
However, Ishihara Wanji was not in the mood to explain anything to them. He immediately shouted to his adjutant Ono Usuhito, and when he appeared, he whispered: "Let's go to the Imperial Palace."
The military headquarters was not very far from the Emperor's Palace, but because the streets outside were almost filled with Japanese at this time, it still took Ishihara Wanji about twenty minutes to get to Hirohito. At this time, the flower in the sky The evil mushroom cloud has become thinner and changed from red to black.
At this time, many Japanese military and political ministers had gathered in Hirohito's palace. They, including Hirohito, looked very worried. Many of them even forgot to say hello to Ishihara when they saw him.
"Your Majesty, you also saw it." Ishihara first saluted Hirohito as usual, and then said.
What Hirohito saw and heard was almost the same as Ishihara, but because he did not have the concept of nuclear bombs in his mind, he did not know what happened. It was precisely because of his ignorance that he acted more worried. Maybe he thought this was the case. It was a vision from heaven to punish him for brazenly launching a war of aggression against China. Hearing Ishihara's words, he sensitively sensed what Ishihara should know. He pointed at the mushroom cloud and said, "Ishihara-kun, you know what that is."
Ishihara did not speak immediately, but looked at the others.
His move immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Konoe Fumimaro, who said loudly: "Ishihara-kun, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't we people still deserve to be trusted?" When he said this, others thought deeply. However, the look he looked at Ishihara revealed serious dissatisfaction.
At this time, not all Japanese military and political ministers in the Emperor's Palace are die-hard militants. Of course, they also do not have long-term political vision and tenacity, so they have not made any development remarks so far.
Hirohito saw Ishihara's concerns and said: "These are all my ministers, Ishihara-kun, don't have any scruples."
Now that Hirohito has spoken, Ishihara can no longer be pretentious. He said "Hai" and said: "I just received intelligence and was told that the Chinese are likely to launch a special bombing against me today. What your Majesty saw is actually exactly The result of special bombing by the Chinese."
As soon as Ishihara finished speaking, Hirohito's eyes couldn't help but widen, and there was a gasp of cold air in the hall. Most of the Japanese military ministers present had some military knowledge, so they could naturally guess this special bombing through the mushroom cloud. Naturally, it was inevitable to be shocked by its power.
