The rocket bombs which fell daily on London were probably fired by the Government of Oceania itself, "just to keep people frightened."
An assumption is made by Julia that the Party is the one dropping the bombs on London every day. If this is the case, it means that the government has vital control over the public, it can control their fear. The Party already regulates and watches over its people, but by maintaining their fear the Party can keep the loyalty of the public. During the novel the government manages the thoughts of the people, and if they are the ones dropping the bombs it would prove everything they do is a lie.
