"Thin man?" Zhou Ke was shocked and recalled the information he had seen in his previous life.

The Skinny Man bomb was the first atomic bomb researched and tested by the United States and was successfully tested in New Mexico.

The other two atomic bombs were named "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" and were exploded in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Japan respectively.

Zhou Ke lost all sleepiness instantly. Since the 'thin guy' had already appeared in the system space, the atomic bomb that was supposed to be officially tested in the second half of 45 must have been built ahead of time!

"Number Three, gather the guards and follow me to the telecommunications department. I need to contact the highest command as soon as possible!"

As Zhou Ke gave the order, his consciousness sank into the system space and examined this enhanced version of the 'Thin Man' nuclear bomb.

Unlike the later 'Little Boy' atomic bomb, which was three meters long, a little over one meter in diameter, and weighed more than four tons, this enhanced 'Thin Guy' looked only about the size of a 50-pound aerial bomb.

Although Zhou Ke didn't know the power of this "thin guy", he believed that the atomic bomb produced by the system this time, which was somewhat modified, should not be inferior in power even if it was smaller.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the nuclear bombs that were supposed to be delivered by super aerial fortresses like the B-29 bomber now have more diverse options without considering disposable pilots!

Not to mention the aircraft on normal aircraft carriers, even the improved carrier-based aircraft carried by the system-improved Dajing-class submarine aircraft carriers in the submarine forces under the current Tiger Army can do the job!

Half an hour later, at Yokosuka Naval Base.

"Marshal, there is news from the Tiger Guards. Based on information they received from the Americans, they have already developed weapons of mass destruction..."

General Taikubo hurriedly woke up Shimazu Chinobu who had just fallen asleep and reported the intelligence that Zhou Ke had processed and fabricated.

"Manhattan Project! Taikubo-kun, this seems to match the name we worked so hard to find!" Shimazu Chinobu's brows were almost furrowed as he looked at the report.

They have long been concerned about the American plan to research weapons of mass destruction, but because the Americans have an extremely high level of confidentiality, they have not found any useful information so far.

"Marshal, that is indeed the name. It seems that this weapon that destroys the balance can already be used in actual combat!"

"One missile is equivalent to tens of thousands of tons of TNT. Even if we can't mass-produce it, just three or five of them are enough for us right now!" General Taikubo said with a worried look on his face.

It's no wonder he's anxious and worried. The situation has just improved and the new government's troops are gradually withdrawing from the quagmire of the war in China.

The progress in Australia was also very smooth, and the country was gradually recovering, and everything was moving in a good direction. But just at this juncture, such a thing happened!

"Takubo-kun, has the people we arranged in New Mexico, USA sent back any news?" Shimazu Chinobu remembered Zhou Ke's previous reminder and asked hurriedly.

"Marshal, the information transmission over there has always been delayed, and we have not received any useful information yet." General Taikubo replied.

"In this case, we can't wait any longer. We must prepare early! Remember we made a corresponding plan before? Our navy will execute it first."

"The army will go through the cabinet procedures. I will arrange for someone to inform the Matsudaira family and convene a cabinet meeting immediately!" Shimazu Chinobu stood up and put on his coat and gave the order.

"Hi!"

"By the way, strengthen the air defense of the first defense chain. I don't want bombers carrying weapons of mass destruction to appear over our sky like before!"

After saying that, Shimazu Chinobu picked up his sword and hurriedly went about his own business with General Taikubo.

..........

An hour later, the Matsudaira family, the Shimazu family and other cabinet members who were urgently summoned sat in a luxuriously decorated meeting room.

"Marshal Shimazu, the weapon you are talking about is too incredible, isn't it?" A cabinet member suddenly lost all sleepiness after reading the report sent to them by Shimazu Chinobu.

As long as the intelligence he saw was half true, the future direction of the war in the Pacific region would no longer be in their hands!

"Everyone, the information you have is probably true. What Shimazu-kun said is consistent with a ridiculous diplomatic letter from the United States that our Ministry of Foreign Affairs received this afternoon!"

With a very serious expression, Matsudaira Tsuneo took out a document from the folder at hand and passed it to everyone in the conference room for review.

This document was sent by the Americans after dinner. Its meaning was very simple. It was to ask the Japanese troops around Midway Island to withdraw as soon as possible because they were going to conduct weapons experiments.

In this document, the Americans' wording is different from the past and is extremely tough, as if they are ready to start a fight if they disagree with the words.

When Matsudaira Tsuneo received the letter, he was still curious about what gave the Americans such confidence, but now he understands.

"Mr. Matsudaira, we must send a letter to the Army Ministry immediately and ask them to act according to the plan!" After reading the document, Shimazu Chinobu handed it to others and looked at Matsudaira Tsuneo who also had a frown on his face.

"The Army Department has already taken action, but how to contact the Americans later is another troublesome issue!" Matsudaira Tsuneo answered and raised a new problem that was about to be faced.

Now the Americans are only asking for Midway Island in disguise, so what will happen next? Should the war in Australia be stopped as soon as possible? Should all other territories that they don't plan to withdraw troops from be surrendered?

If they take a step back, they will retreat step by step. Moreover, once their navy loses the initiative in the Pacific, they will have to sit back and watch the US Navy grow stronger.

Even if there are no such weapons of mass destruction in the future, they may not be the opponents!

Soon, the document was circulated and the atmosphere in the conference room fell into a brief silence. Everyone frowned and thought, trying to come up with a good solution.

"Everyone, in this situation, we can't win the war, so we can only rely on international public opinion. After all, we are a new government now!"

A cabinet member took the lead in breaking the heavy atmosphere in the meeting room and made a suggestion.

What he talked about was only the most basic attempt, and also the most helpless method in the face of such weapons that greatly destroyed the balance of war.

"This is inevitable. What we need to discuss now is the issue of Midway Island. Of course, it can also be said that we will face a series of problems similar to the situation of Midway Island in the future!"

Matsudaira Tsuneo looked around at everyone in the conference room with serious expressions and continued the previous topic.
