Why did Japan want to build the Junkers JU-390?

The Japanese were impressed with the Junkers JU-390. It could fly from the German Bases in Odessa to the Japanese held fields in China. Starting in late 1943 the Junkers JU-390 would deliver secret jet engines and other valuable weapons and on the return flight carry exotic metals, uranium, and even rubber. Also this is the way Japanese and German officers carried Top Secret information. In March 1945 a Junkers JU-390 flew to Tokyo by flying over the North Polar regions. This is verified by Albert Speer who wrote about this flight. Anna Kreisling was in Japan at the time and flew back to Germany on a different Junkers JU-390. Japan was working on a Nuclear bomb and the Junkers JU-390 was the bomber they wanted to use the Atomic Bomb on Los Angeles and Hawaii.
