"Victor, I heard that the reason why you guys in the Soviet Union developed the mushroom bomb so quickly was that there were a lot of spies who made great contributions, but more importantly, the Soviet government obtained an unexploded mushroom bomb in Japan? Is this true?"
"Yes, it's true. This matter was confidential at the time, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many secrets were made public, including this one."
After a pause, Captain Ivan continued, "In order to force Japan to surrender as soon as possible, after the Potsdam Conference, the Americans could not wait to use their only three mushroom bombs on Japan. On August 6, 1945, the US Air Force dropped the 'Little Boy' on Hiroshima. The mushroom bomb exploded in the air 600 meters above the ground, completely destroying 60,000 houses within a radius of 14 kilometers."
"But this mushroom bomb is not the first mushroom bomb made by the Americans. The first mushroom bomb made by the Americans was called 'Thin Man', which was about equivalent to the explosive equivalent of two thousand tons of ladders, but this mushroom bomb had already been tested. 'Little Boy' was the second mushroom bomb to be detonated."
"In fact, the United States had three bombing targets for Japan at that time, including Hiroshima, Kokura, and Nagasaki. For this purpose, the United States prepared three mushroom bombs, and the US Air Force also prepared seven bombers to complete this important task. At that time, the first target was Hiroshima, the second target was Kokura, and the third target was Nagasaki. However, due to weather reasons, when bombing Kokura on August 9, 1945, the sky was overcast. The bomber went back and forth three times, and finally gave up the target and turned around to fly to the second target, Nagasaki. At that time, the sky over Nagasaki was also overcast, and the fuel consumption of the bomber did not allow it to fly back with mushroom bombs, which would result in the destruction of the plane and the death of people. However, when the plane arrived over Nagasaki, the originally dense clouds suddenly dispersed, and the bomber pilot decisively dropped two mushroom bombs."
"But no one expected that only one of the two mushroom bombs dropped on Nagasaki exploded, which was the mushroom bomb called 'Fat Man'. As for the other unexploded mushroom bomb, it was strictly guarded by the Japanese. However, since Japan, which had been defeated at the time, had no ability to develop mushroom bombs, and seeing the devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese had a strong hatred for the United States. In order to start a protracted arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Japanese did not hesitate to hand over the mushroom bomb to the Soviet Union. After we obtained the real mushroom bomb, combined with the information on mushroom bomb technology that we had already obtained, we successfully exploded the first mushroom bomb within five years."
"This is the site where the mushroom bomb named 'Pumpkin' was tested. The equivalent of this mushroom bomb was about 22,000 tons of tt."
Yang Jing nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Victor. I have heard that two mushroom bombs were used to bomb Nagasaki, but I have never been sure. Today I can finally confirm it."
Captain Ivan also became interested in talking, and asked Yang Jing with a smile: "You know that the first mushroom bomb developed by the Americans was named 'Thin Man', and the first mushroom bomb developed by our Soviet Union was named 'Pumpkin', but do you know what the first mushroom bomb developed by you in China is called?"
This question really stumped Yang Jing. Yang Jing only knew that after China and the Soviet Union fell out, China also fell into the same dilemma as Stalin, that is, facing nuclear blackmail from the Soviets.
Under such circumstances at that time, Grandpa Taizu ordered the Chinese people to develop their own nuclear weapons. Then, with the concerted efforts of the whole country, the two bombs and one satellite were finally developed, and China has since straightened its backbone.
But Yang Jing really didn't know the name of the first mushroom bomb developed by China.
Seeing Yang Jing's stunned expression, Captain Ivan smiled and said, "The first mushroom bomb developed by your China at that time was named 'Miss Qiu'! Haha, don't you think this name is very literary?"
"Ms. Qiu?" Yang Jing was also stunned. Look at the first mushroom bomb developed by the Americans and the Soviets. One was called Thin Man and the other was called Pumpkin. But why was China's first mushroom bomb called Miss Qiu?
Yang Jing scratched his head awkwardly, but he managed to catch some flying dandruff...
