German nuclear bomb

Puzzle

so the main reason i asked this was for my future tl, and in it the Central powers win WWI and then in a WWII analog Germany teams up with the US, Britain, and a socialist ottoman empire so they would have a larger access of information, scientists, and resorces to draw from for the atomic bomb project so putting all probability of them creating the bomb im more focusing on the location of the test.
If it's a true team up Germany is a bad spot for it since they're right next to their opponents. New Mexico, or Australia would be better than having the bomb being researched and tested within range of the enemy.
 
The Luftwaffe's bombers were actually designed to act as flying artillery in support of the Heer (which was why all three BoB types, the Do-17, Ju-88, and He-111, could act in the dive bomber role) not in a strategic or force projection role.

And they were quite good in that role. And it was a better use of Germany's aircraft development budget in the late 30's.

But yes, it left them without strategic bombers worthy of the name. Which by the way definitely complicates the whole question of delivery vehicles for this Nazi a-bomb.

what about the four engine version of the Arado 234, the Me 264, or a fixed He 177?

2,000 kg on external racks. The Horten H.XVIII, or a stand-off bomb (like a modified V-1 or HS 293 or a Mistel) are other possibilities.

That wouldn't be enough to drop a bomb on the scale of Fat Man (4670kg) or Little Bot (4400kg).

The Me 264 could manage it, though...
 
So I wonder? How many nukes(let's set this ASB scenario for being of the gun-type Little Boy size power)will force the Brits to just accept the peace terms of the Germans? By that I mean that the British do not impose a blockade upon the Germans. In this ASB scenario I am talking about happening in 1940, and that is if they have bombs ready and the aircraft ready for deployment. Yes, I know I know it's impossible, so no need to coach me on that, but in this world of ASB alternate history where everything just goes right for the Nazi's, it never hurts to ask.
