Chapter 1511: Big trouble


George Bush took this information, only hurriedly glanced at it, his face instantly lost blood!
He raised his head, looked around for a while, and then ordered: "Sununu, immediately inform Vice President Dan Quill, General Colin Powell, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney, and put down his hand. All work comes here for a meeting, right away, right away!"
"Yes, Mr. President, I will notify you immediately." Sununu hurriedly pushed the door out, and except for Dr. Rice, who had just entered the house, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what happened, so that they were used to seeing each other. President Bush, who was caught up in the storm, was a little gaffe.
"Gentlemen, I'm afraid we have to put down that Chinese kid's affairs first and try our best to deal with this unexpected situation." He turned to Rice and said: "Doctor, you first introduce the general situation."
"Yes, Mr. President." Dr. Rice's performance was rather calm. After hearing the president's request, he quickly organized the language and said, ""
"Information data show that the former Soviet Union and the Russian Communist Party deployed more than 11,000 strategic nuclear weapons capable of attacking our country, and at least 15,000 tactical nuclear weapons were deployed. 80% of these weapons were deployed in Rakshasa, and the remaining 20% ​​were deployed in Ukraine. After the independence of Ukran, China, Raksha and other European countries have expressed concern about these nuclear weapons and their vehicles. Under such pressure, Ukran has publicly expressed its willingness to participate in the international market. Under the supervision of society, the destruction of all nuclear weapons and their vehicles was only a bargaining on economic compensation measures. For this reason, China has conducted a series of negotiations with European countries and Uklan. It should be said that the negotiations have made quite good progress. Last month, Uklan President Kravchuk signed an agreement on the complete destruction of these weapons. The Uklan Parliament has also approved the agreement and has decided to continue the removal of these weapons from next year. The task of destruction will be carried out under the supervision of a verification team jointly formed by China, major Western European powers and Rakshasa. China and Western Europe will jointly provide part of the economic compensation for this peaceful act in Ukran."
Everyone in the house knows this very well. They also held a small celebration to successfully reach this agreement. A mere US$300 million in economic aid completely disarmed a country’s nuclear arms. This is too great. It’s a bargain, besides, the money came from the Europeans. The Americans not only don’t need to pay, they can get all the intercontinental ballistic missile nuclear warheads for nothing. Although this thing is not compatible with the US’s own tactical system, it has tens of thousands of nuclear bombs. The United States does not lack these warheads. However, the high-abundance nuclear material in the warheads is used as fuel for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. It is excellent. It can not only improve the efficiency of the reactor, but also save money. For the next big sum of money, both the Rakshasa and the Europeans finally approved this approach.
But the agreement has been signed, and the money has been paid partly to Uklan. Now that Les has suddenly brought up the old things, has there been any change?
Could it be that the people in Wuklan feel that there is little money and want to raise the asking price?
Rice went on to say: "We believe that the Uklan authorities are still sincere in fulfilling this agreement. The data they provide has been verified by the Rakshasa people. There are a total of 176 multi-warhead ICBMs, including 130. SS-19 and 46 SS-24. In addition, it has 564 air-launched cruise missiles with a single warhead. There are 1,328 strategic nuclear warheads of more than 300,000 tons on these vehicles. In addition, they also provide A list of up to 1,522 tactical nuclear weapons."
"So, Rice, what's the problem now?" As Dr. Rice's teacher, Brent asked very directly.
"The problem now is that the inspection and supervision team found that at least 216 tactical nuclear weapons were missing."
There was no sound for a while, and then the room was full of uproar!
This problem that the world is most worried about finally happened!
According to the difference of combat effectiveness, nuclear weapons are divided into two types: strategic and tactical. Among them, strategic nuclear weapons are generally composed of larger equivalent nuclear bombs and long-range launch systems and corresponding command and control communication systems. All publicly recognized nuclear-armed countries have extremely strict management measures for these weapons. To use these weapons, they need to go through a strict approval process and obtain the highest command of the country, usually the head of state himself. For example, for the weapons owned by Wu Kelan, its command authority is not actually in the hands of Wu Kelan. Before going down the field, Gulbanqiao handed the crucial "nuclear button" to Ye Liqing. That is to say, yes. The launch command for the 176 intercontinental ballistic missiles and 564 air-launched cruise missiles deployed in the territory of Uklan is not in Kiev but in Moscow.
But tactical nuclear weapons are different.
Tactical-level nuclear weapons were developed for the purpose of supporting direct operations on land, sea, and air battlefields, and attacking important targets in the depth of the enemy's campaign tactics.
During the Cold War, the two opposing camps developed a variety of tactical nuclear weapons. The explosive equivalent ranged from 1,000 tons to 100,000 tons of TNT equivalent. The weapon forms included landmines, mines, depth bombs, torpedoes, and howitzers. Bullets and even mortars, rocket warheads, air-to-air missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, anti-ballistic missiles, explosives bags, etc., let’s put it this way, except for guns that are too small for their caliber to fit, but in the era of hot weapons All the weapons that have appeared were replaced by nuclear warheads by both sides of the Cold War!
For example, the Americans themselves once designed a tactical nuclear weapon with a wide-open mind, and also installed as many as 2,100 sets and deployed them on a large scale in West Hans and South Korea-the M338 recoilless nuclear artillery, code-named "David Crockett", this thing seems very practical: the empty weight is only 99 kilograms, the gun barrel is 0.8 meters long, and the rate of fire is one round per minute, whether it is mounted on the ground with a tripod, mounted on an armored vehicle, or placed on a step. The tanks are all feasible, there are two caliber versions of 120 mm and 155 mm, the maximum range is 4 kilometers, the minimum range is 500 meters-but the explosive equivalent of the shells of this cargo is 100,000 tons!
Yes, some game house classmates have already remembered that this thing used to appear in the classic game "Metal Gear Solid 3", which is the one carried by the BOSS.
It is known that after a 100,000-ton atomic bomb explodes, all organic matter in an area of ​​0.32 square kilometers at the central location will be vaporized; the overpressure shock wave can directly destroy all buildings within a radius of 3.52 kilometers around the explosion point; within 1.81 kilometers of the explosion point The creatures will suffer direct lethal radiation damage; the radius of thermal radiation can reach 4.61 kilometers; at a distance of 6.18 kilometers, the glass of ordinary buildings will still be shattered by shock waves and cause splash damage... You need to retreat to 10.7 kilometers to basically ensure safety .
So the question is, what will happen to the gunner who operates this gun? What will happen to the nearby friendly forces?
Okay, for the time being, putting aside the brain design of these tactical nuclear weapons, what these people in the house must face is an extremely difficult problem: whether in the United States or in the former Soviet Union, the authority to use tactical nuclear weapons is decentralized. Very low. In a state of war, low-level noncommissioned officers have the right to launch them. Take the M338 recoilless nuclear artillery just now as an example. Back then, the Mi Army’s code of handling the gun had entered a state of war. The authority to use this weapon is-Sergeant!
To explain it more clearly, to use these tactical nuclear weapons, there is no need to obtain the approval of the Supreme Command, and there is no such complicated approval and unlocking process. They are not controlled by the so-called "nuclear button", and the "security of these weapons" must be lifted. "Lock", it's easy!
So the trouble is big!
