Pretty convenient that their timetable suddenly synched up with ours after the second bomb was dropped.
So that 2nd bomb magically made them think “oh shit, this a-bomb thing must be for REALS! We thought that first one was just some elaborate illusion that David Copperfield setup! OH NOES, SURRENDERS NOW!”?

First bomb goes off, destroys 60%+ of the city, 70k of their people die nearly instantaneously… they are down with that, it's all good. But when that second bomb went off JESUS CHRIST NO!

Seriously, that makes no sense. After they saw the destructive power of the bomb their timetable was already set in motion. Any additional bombs we used did nothing to further expedite things imo.
