Chapters 29 + 30

This is now the turning of the tides for the US; with Germany fallen the entirety of the allied military was pushing to defeat Japan. But back at camp the bird was trying to be murdered in order to save the lives of the officers he was pummeling. After several attempts one Officer managed to get him sick with diarrhea and a fever of a stunning 105 degrease. This plan had also failed to put him under, the camp thought The Bird “unmurderable”. Then the officials noticed a stolen fish, they ordered the thieves to show themselves. The men did and Louie among other innocent officers was ordered to stand out with the thieves. Then back at the camp Watanabe told every enlisted man to punch the officers and thieves as hard as they could in the face – anyone who refused would be put to the same punishment.  Air raids would continue and the kill all rule became the closest its ever been to Louie, told to him barely after September the kill all order was set for August 22nd. Brought to their execution camp they were told to work. Louie however was taken to a special place where he would hold a heavy beam for as long as he could. Though tired and wasted physically he managed to hold the beam for 37 minutes through mental determination, mainly for his hatred of the Bird. Then came in the night of August 1st the largest air raid to date with over 6,100 tons of explosives, civilians thought it was raining; but it wasn’t water – it was napalm. The final attempt to murder the Bird would be conspired – they would subdue him, tie him to a rock and hurl him out a window down to the bottom of a large body of water. Meanwhile the last bomb was dropped on Hiroshima; the atomic bomb was armed and detonated mid air scorching all of Hiroshima.
