If the government failed to take the hint, then the next atomic bombs would not be dropped one at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About ten kilometers from the Hiroshima City Area, a large expanse of land was filled with new recruits of the Island Nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Hiroshima’s largest military training ground, and it currently housed close to 300,000 new recruits. Within a few kilometers around this training ground, there were more than five other training grounds of various sizes, accommodating a total of over 600,000 new recruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side of the Hiroshima City Area, there was a temporary barracks built by the Island Nation Army. This location was even closer to Honshu Island, which could allow the military to provide quick support to Honshu Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were even more soldiers stationed here, and judging by the scale, the number exceeded that of the 600,000 new recruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the clear and cloudless weather, a large number of Islander soldiers were engaged in bayonet-fighting training. This was one of the mandatory training exercises for the soldiers, and it had played a significant role in the past Island-Russia wars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the heavily protected Hiroshima City Area, it was still a relatively bustling scene. Due to the outbreak of war, it was rare to see foreigners in the Native Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets were mostly filled with Islanders, and many young girls dressed in beautiful outfits were out shopping in groups, seemingly unaffected by the war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Shier, we’ve reached the designated position. How are you doing?” As they approached the airspace above Hiroshima, Shier McKenzie’s earpiece transmitted the inquiry from a pilot in a nearby fighter aircraft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad.” Shier McKenzie replied with a smile, “Is the camera ready?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mission was unlike any other; it was the first time in human history that an atomic bomb was used in war and the first time a city suffered mass casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To commemorate the deployment and explosion of the first atomic bomb, the General Staff had specifically equipped a camera on a nearby fighter aircraft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ready, Captain. Just a reminder, we’re starting to record now, and all of our words will be documented.” The voice from the nearby fighter aircraft replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent.” Shier McKenzie nodded with a smile. For the pilots participating in this mission, having their voices recorded was certainly an honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Valentine, target Hiroshima; lock onto the target immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shier McKenzie instructed his comrade-in-arms behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Target Hiroshima locked, repeat, target Hiroshima locked.” Valentine Enquevile carefully locked onto the city below and responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great, everyone, got anything to say? If the atomic bomb detonates successfully, maybe it will become a sentence remembered by history.” Shier McKenzie asked his team members with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing to say, Captain. But if I must say something, then I hope Hiroshima won’t be the last target.” Valentine Enquevile joked with a smile from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You joker.” Shier McKenzie retorted with a laugh, “Don’t worry, if there’s a next target, you’ll definitely be part of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In amidst their lighthearted banter, the three airplanes successfully reached above Hiroshima.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the high altitude, the people of Hiroshima City Area below didn’t notice the three airplanes overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pilots inside the airplanes, with the aid of various technological means, could confirm they were above Hiroshima.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, count down from three, three, two, one, release!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Shier McKenzie’s countdown, the Sparrowhawk-6B Bomber positioned at the center of the three planes swiftly opened its bomb bay, revealing the atomic bomb that had been prepared inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goodbye Hiroshima, farewell, damned Islanders.” With Shier McKenzie’s soft murmur, an enormous atomic bomb dropped from the bomber’s belly, plummeting straight down toward Hiroshima City Area below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atop the atomic bomb, a specially designed parachute opened, which slowed the bomb’s rapid descent and almost altered its direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, due to the large momentum, the atomic bomb’s course corrected itself. However, because of the parachute at the back, it was now falling slower than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It looks like everything went smoothly, guys.” Shier McKenzie, anxiously observing it all, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the atomic bomb’s parachute had opened successfully and slowed down its speed. Then he could afford to joke with his comrades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Destination Ryukyu Islands, guys, return to base!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purpose of the atomic bomb’s parachute was to slow down its fall, buying the bomber enough time to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shier McKenzie obviously understood this principle and didn’t waste the precious time for escape, issuing the order to return to base without any hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for capturing the moment Hiroshima was bombed by the atomic bomb, that would have to wait until the bomber had safely escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they stayed directly above Hiroshima, although they would not be in the bomb’s blast range, the resulting shockwave from the explosion would still spread at a high speed to the altitude above, potentially impacting the bomber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they could bail out with parachutes, to do so over Hiroshima just after an atomic bomb explosion would be no different from courting death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the atomic bomb’s descent had been slowed, it still fell rapidly overall. The parachute, despite being specially designed, couldn’t hold out for very long.\u003C\u002Fp>",905,"2026-06-06T09:32:16.574Z",1,"novelbin.me","b5edfa0a57d4c4f9bef754c978b2bb92e034250dfecc28490e8d843e8d986e8e","the-rise-of-australasia-chapter-1281","the-rise-of-australasia-chapter-1279",1367,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-rise-of-australasia-cover.jpg"]
