Rise of Australia

Chapter 943 Sensation
Australasia decided to bomb Tokyo as planned.

This also means that just for Tokyo alone, five atomic bombs would be needed.

However, because it is a nuclear warhead, using five atomic bombs can add an extra layer of insurance.

As long as more than half of the five nuclear warheads could successfully explode, Australasia could be sure that most of Tokyo would be destroyed.

If all five nuclear warheads exploded, the scene would be so severe that the suburbs of Tokyo would probably be dug three feet deep.

As for the more than three million citizens of Tokyo, it is likely that less than one in a hundred survived.

Although keeping them can still bring certain economic value, Tokyo currently has most of the radicals and war factions of the island countries, and eliminating them is the top priority.

An island nation without radicals would be worth occupying for Australasia.

The five nuclear warheads destined for Tokyo were launched first, and the remaining atomic bombs targeting other cities and island military bases were also equally powerful and were successfully delivered within two hours.

As for whether the island government has the ability to sign for it, that is not something Australasia should consider.

Later that day, the Australasian diplomatic department held another diplomatic correspondents meeting and asked all domestic and foreign media in Australasia to attend.

At the meeting, Australasia announced a shocking event, that is, in the previous few hours, Australasia had successfully bombed more than a dozen targets on the island country and completely destroyed the capital of the island country.

The journalists went crazy, realizing that real big news had been born and that they were definitely the ones who experienced and witnessed it.

"Dear Minister Wellington, can you reveal the number of weapons you have deployed on the island country? Or in other words, how many casualties do you expect to cause to the island country?" a reporter asked impatiently.

"Sorry, I can't reveal too much. The only thing I can make public is that because the island country has deployed too many troops in the Tokyo area, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the war later, Tokyo is our first target of attack." Minister Wellington smiled slightly, as if he had said nothing, but it seemed that he had said everything.

All the reporters present swallowed their saliva and were shocked by Australasia's decisiveness.

If Tokyo is regarded as the first target of attack, wouldn’t the more than three million citizens of Tokyo be in danger?
"Minister Wellington, have you considered that there are nearly three million islanders in urban Tokyo? If your weapons accidentally injure island civilians, will you be responsible for it?" a reporter asked.

"Dude, do you understand what you are saying?" Wellington looked at the reporter who asked the question and said with a smile, "When the islanders decided to attack the Hawaiian port to start the war, they should have been prepared to bear all the consequences.

As for the civilians on the island who might be accidentally injured, this is not something we should consider.

If I remember correctly, we held a meeting four days ago and advised foreigners on the island to leave.

Regarding the bombing of the island country, we have given four days’ notice. If there are foreigners who are accidentally injured, we should first think about why they are still staying in the island country. "

After hearing Minister Wellington's answer, the foreign media present realized that Australasia was no longer the same as before.

If Australasia was previously introverted, now its international approach is to act decisively and without mercy.

"Minister Wellington, did your country use weapons like the one used in Hiroshima in all the bombings on the island countries? If so, does it mean that your country still has sufficient reserves of such weapons?" After the media realized that Australasia was no longer low-key, they also understood that it was not worthwhile to offend Australasia at this time.

Anyone who knows a little about the international situation knows that Australasia is currently very important to the European battlefield and can be said to be an indispensable external force for Britain, France and Russia.

Apart from anything else, a considerable portion of the food, weapons, ammunition, medical supplies, and even mechanical equipment such as airplanes, tanks, and cars produced in Australasia every year are sold to Britain, France, and Russia at prices below the market price.

Without the import of these weapons resources, it would not matter how great the losses of Australasia were. The losses of Britain, France and Russia would definitely be huge.

More importantly, with Australasia's bombing of the island nation, the war between the two countries is almost over.

To put it bluntly, if Australasia's bombing of the island country was successful, it would be questionable whether the island country's government could exist.

Without the central control of the island government, it is impossible for these island armies distributed in the island mainland and colonies to unite. On a deeper level, perhaps the unity of the island nation will not last long. If Australasia really wants to do this, I am afraid that the island nation will split into several countries and fight each other.

If you think about it this way, Australasia actually needs even less support from Britain, France and Russia.

If the island nation were to split into several independent countries, the weapons, equipment, food and medical supplies needed by the divided island nations alone would be enough to fully meet Australasia's material export needs.

With the Philippines, Kalimantan and the island nations as dumping grounds for industrial products, Australasia's industry and agriculture could completely break free from European influence and continue to thrive during the war.

In this way, Australasia became the only powerful country not affected by the war. According to this idea, Britain, France and Russia absolutely could not accept falling out with Australasia at this time. Even if they lost some of their interests, they must at least ensure that Australasia continued to stand on their side.

In short, the initiative is now completely in the hands of Australasia. Unless the war can be ended, Britain, France and Russia will have no choice.

“The island nation is a country with very strong military strength. So far, we have suffered nearly one million casualties in our attack on the island nation.

In order to speed up the progress of the war, we have to use more powerful weapons to end this war. As for your question, I can't give a definite answer." Minister Wellington replied with a smile.

As an excellent diplomat, Minister Wellington knew what he should and should not say.

This answer seems to say nothing, but if you understand all the words of Minister Wellington, you will understand that it is just a silent affirmation.

It just turned the original affirmative answer into a guess in the minds of the reporters. Even if they knew that this was the answer, they could only speak without evidence because Australasia did not actually state the reason.

But then again, no negation is the best affirmation.

The reporters who were aware of this were all very excited at this moment.

Of course, only the Australasian journalists were excited that Australasia could have more powerful weapons, and the foreign media were excited that they had caught a huge news.

If this news is published, it may be more shocking than the large-scale bombing of the island country in Australasia.

After all, the island nation is just a country thousands of miles away from Europe, and its population is not white, so naturally it does not need too much attention.

But Australasia has more different weapons.

Australasia is originally a white country, and because of Arthur, the attention it receives in Europe is definitely very high.

Coupled with the new weapons that can destroy cities, this news will definitely become a hot topic of common concern for both warring parties and even attract the attention of the whole world.

"Minister Wellington, can you tell us your next plan? Is it a full-scale attack on the island country, or an expedition to Europe?" asked a newspaper reporter in Australasia.

Seeing that the person asking the question was an Australasian, Minister Wellington stopped being perfunctory and said with a smile: "We need to ensure that the Pacific region is safe so that we can mobilize enough troops to help our European allies.

Of course, I believe it won’t be long before the island governments realize they have no chance of winning and that Australasia will win this war, and quickly.”

After hearing Minister Wellington's answer, the reporter nodded with satisfaction.

For Australasia, it is a good thing that their country has more powerful weapons, and it is even better that the country attaches importance to the safety of its people.

As for whether it will pose a threat to foreign countries, who among the people cares?
The strength of our own country is the most important thing, and foreign countries can step back a little, no matter what the relationship is.

Although this may seem selfish, in the game between national interests, this is the best and only option.
