Chapter 1042 The status of a great power in Nanyang (third update, two in one)


Chapter 1042: The status of a great power in the Southeast Asia (Third update, two in one)

North Pacific, 500 nautical miles south of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

This sea area is accompanied by strong winds all year round, especially in winter. For fifteen years, the Japanese Combined Fleet used the wind and waves in the North Pacific as cover to sail all the way to Pearl Harbor.

At this time, in this ocean full of wind and waves, a strange-looking missile submarine broke through the waves with its bow. When the waves beat its body, circles of white waves appeared.

This is Nanyang's U-32 test boat. It is an experimental ballistic missile submarine that elongates the hull of the Type 21 conventional submarine and then moves the land-based ballistic missile to the submarine. Although it is smaller than modern There is still a big difference between the strategic nuclear submarines, although this test submarine is essentially just a launch vehicle that can dive.

However, its emergence has single-handedly rewritten the meaning of the entire anti-submarine warfare. If the previous anti-submarine warfare was limited to seizing sea control or protecting sea routes, after the emergence of ballistic missile submarines, anti-submarine warfare is directly related to a country. This is not alarmist, because it can appear in various sea areas at any time and launch missiles at enemy countries. Its deterrence is obvious.

While the submarine was sailing in the waves, the captain Wang Guoyu in the submarine control tower looked very serious. This mission was different from usual.

"Report, we have entered the launch area!"

"Get ready to launch!"

After the order was issued, the submarine officers and soldiers in the control tower immediately became busy. They constantly report various data and make final preparations for missile launch.

The hull of the boat trembled slightly, indicating an imminent shock.

"Preparations have been completed, requesting launch authorization!"

Hear the launch commander's report.

As the submarine commander, Wang Guoyu walked to the launch pad. At the same time, the deputy captain was standing behind him. What was different from usual was that his right hand was pressing the holster on his waist. , his eyes were firm.

“Check target coordinates!”

"Check the target coordinates!"

Before authorizing, Wang Guoyu checked the target coordinates again, and the deputy captain asked again.

“Confirm the launch order again!”

“Confirm the launch order!”

At this time, the atmosphere in the control tower seemed very tense.

Finally, after checking and confirming according to the steps, Wang Guoyu took out the launch key, and the launch commander also took out the launch key, and the two of them inserted the launch key into the launch pad at the same time.

"3, 2, 1... start!"

After turning the keys simultaneously, the launch commander was authorized.

“Request to launch missile No. 1!”

“Allow launch!”

The launch commander's finger pressed firmly on the launch button.

With a slight vibration, a huge ballistic missile roared out from the launch tube behind the submarine control tower, like a fire dragon, breaking out of its shell and soaring into the sky.

The tail flame of the missile drew a dazzling light in the sky, illuminating the surrounding sea area. It cuts through the sky, carrying the power of both destruction and hope, and rushes towards the distant goal.

At the same time, a destroyer in the distance had already filmed this scene. After completing the launch mission, the ballistic missile submarine re-submerged into the seabed. And the missile continued to fly towards the unknown distance.

More than half an hour later, the missile accurately hit the target area in the South Ocean Pacific 4,500 kilometers away. When the 1 million-ton nuclear warhead exploded, a huge mushroom cloud was produced.

Seismic monitoring stations around the world observed this nuclear test. Soon, a spokesman for the Nanyang military informed the outside world of the submarine's ballistic missile launch test.

“…The success of this test marks that Nanyang has not only established a new nuclear strike system, but also can carry out nuclear strikes at any time, anywhere, in any region of the world, against any country that attempts to threaten Nanyang! This kind of The attack came without any warning and was a devastating blow. "

The news on TV is undoubtedly telling the world that Nanyang is ready for a nuclear counterattack.

In response, the Soviet Union launched two R7 ballistic missiles to Novaya Zemlya and Kamchatka. The missile launched to Novaya Zemlya carried a 50,000-ton atomic bomb. At the same time, a bomber dropped a 3-million-ton hydrogen bomb.

But surprisingly, neither of them mentioned the collision over the South China Sea. It was as if this incident had never existed. It seemed that both sides had reached some kind of tacit agreement on some issues. And this kind of tacit understanding is based on the premise of not irritating the other party too much.

In the face of absolute strength, the Russians are definitely good students. Almost overnight, they learned how to talk to big countries in the Cold War and in what way. Small countries can be bullied, but big countries can bully them. Confrontation must be mutually respectful.

Of course, this confrontation is more of a display of strength.

It was at this time that US Secretary of State Dulles arrived in Nanyang by plane. As the presidential representative, he came to mediate the crisis.

"Li, you should be very clear that it is absolutely impossible for the Russians to make concessions on the Hungarian issue. They established the Warsaw Pact just to build their buffer zone with satellite countries. Hungary withdraws from Warsaw The treaty created a gap in Russia's buffer zone, which is unacceptable to the Russians..."

Dulles looked at Li Yi'an who said nothing and continued.

"And the Russians are also worried about the domino effect - if one country comes out of the Iron Curtain, other countries will also leave. This is what the Russians are worried about, so no matter what, they will make sure that Hungary does not come out of the Iron Curtain. . And Nanyang’s persistence on the Hungarian issue is likely to lead to a world war!”

Faced with Dulles’ warning, Li Yi’an thought for a moment and said.

"Mr. Secretary of State, you know, I once saw an exciting picture on TV. Although the Russian army was attacking, tens of thousands of people still came to Bem Square, and thousands more The conspirators gathered on the road leading to the square. At that time, Budapest was full of gunfire and artillery fire, but people there flocked from all over to the statue of the Polish general, where people chanted the forbidden Petofi "Song of the Nation"!"

After a pause, Li Yian chanted.

"Get up, Hungarians, the motherland is calling! It's time, do it now, it's not too late! Do you want to be a free man? Or a slave? You choose, that's the question!"


When reciting this "Song of the Nation", Li Yi'an's voice was firm, his eyes were firm, and he looked at Dulles and asked.

“Now the choice is also ours. Should we tear apart the Iron Curtain, or should we watch Hungary, which wants to break away from the Iron Curtain, be pulled back to the Iron Curtain with an iron fist by the Soviet Union?”

Faced with the rhetorical question, Dulles said.

"You should understand that we have no ability to intervene there at all, and this is very likely to cause an atomic war between us and the Russians, which no one wants to see!" Dulles read. Li Yian asked rhetorically.

"Your Excellency, are you willing to sacrifice everything in Southeast Asia to fight an atomic war with the Russians for the sake of a small country tens of thousands of miles away?"

This sentence is very heart-breaking, and of course it is true. No country can really Will sacrifice himself for a country that has no connection with him.

“Of course not!”

Li Yian shook his head and said directly.

“But if the Russians are allowed to threaten without a strong response, then next time they will no longer be a threat. We must tell the Russians that military threats between major powers are Those who need to pay a price must let them understand where the red line is! ”

Big country!

When Li Yian said this, Dulles's expression changed somewhat. Looking at the young man in front of him, he suddenly realized a problem - Nanyang is no longer that small country!

He is a great power, a great power with atomic power. Not only did Russia ignore this, but the United States also ignored this!

And now Nanyang is using his own way to remind the world that he is already a big country!

Since you don’t admit it, I will use my own way to force you to admit it!

From now on, the United States will have to change its way of dealing with them.

"As for Hungary..."

Picked up the cigar and took a puff, and while exhaling the smoke, Li Yian said.

“The United States does not regard Hungary and Poland as potential military allies. You think they are Russia’s sphere of influence, but this is our opportunity to tear through the Iron Curtain,”

Looking at Dulles said, looking at Li Yian and frowning.

"Your Excellency, you should understand that the Western world is not ready to tear down the Iron Curtain!"

In other words, the United States has no intention of having a direct confrontation with the Soviet Union. No, it should be said that it was Eisenhower's policy to respect each other's spheres of influence.

He is so naive!

If there is such a thing as respecting spheres of influence, then how could Vietnam, Cuba and many other places then join the Eastern camp?

As a Cold War politician, Eisenhower was a bit naive. Fortunately, his Cold War policy was modified by his imagination a few years later, and he adjusted it in time.

Li Yi'an did not speak, just smoked his cigar silently. In fact, what he wanted to tear down was not the Iron Curtain, but to establish Nanyang's status as a great power. How was the status of a great power established?

One is to defeat a big country on the battlefield. For example, after Tangshan forced the United States to sign an armistice treaty on the peninsula, Tangshan's status in the international community suddenly improved. The same is true in the Eastern Bloc. Poland a few months ago In the "Poznan Incident", the University of Tokyo's support for Poland at a critical moment made the Soviet Union give up its plan to intervene with force. This time the Soviets sent troops because of the support of the University of Tokyo.

The status of a great power is such a reality. Even if it is as powerful and arrogant as the Soviet Union, it still has to be thoughtful when facing a great power.

But how did Nanyang gain the status of a great power?

Obviously, it is not realistic to directly challenge a major power on the battlefield, so there is only one way, which is to use a "Cold War" approach to force countries around the world to recognize Nanyang as a major power.

First become a great power, become a world-recognized great power, and then the next step is to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.

So, on this issue, he ignored Dulles at all, and his silence, in Dulles' view, meant that Nanyang had made up his mind. So he said:

"The president wants to know, where is your bottom line?"

"Let the Russians pay the price!"

Li Yian holding a cigar in his hand , looked at Dulles and said.

"As I said before - the Russians must pay for their arrogance. They can't threaten three major powers without paying any price! The price is Hungary!"

said After saying these words, Li Yian looked directly at Dulles, as if he had become the leader of the Three Kingdoms.

Facing the threat, I, Da Ying, gave up!

I, France... am also scared!

I, Nanyang, want to set an example for the whole world!

Now, you Americans must also recognize Nanyang’s decision!

"But Your Excellency, you should understand that the Russians will definitely do whatever it takes for Hungary. This will be a very difficult and dangerous struggle."

Dulles reminded again Looking at the young man in front of him, reminding him to be more realistic.

“As a big country in Nanyang, your bottom line needs to be respected, but you must understand that the Russians’ bottom line also needs to be respected!”

Facing Dulles Li Yian did not show any emotion after being reminded and acknowledged. Dulles just took a puff of his cigar silently and looked at each other. Until now, Dulles still did not understand the key to the Cold War confrontation.

This generation of American politicians...is destined to be eliminated by history.

Well, they just laid the foundation of the Cold War, and the rest - it's none of their business.

Li Yian said.

“The key to struggle is not to make yourself fearless, but to make the enemy fearful. Fear will solve all problems!”

……

Almost at the same time, in an opera house in Chang'an, Clausen was sitting in the middle seat enjoying the opera. There was no opera house in Wanhujiao. Since there were occasional performances, they were amateur, so, Whenever he has free time, he will come to Chang'an to enjoy opera. Although today is not the weekend, he still comes. As an opera lover, this is a normal thing, but today he seems a little absent-minded.

“Why now?”

After sitting next to him, Miller asked quietly. When he received the signal, he felt a little surprised. After all, today was not the weekend.

“It’s an emergency,”

Clawson muttered,

"You don't know, they are testing now, they have prepared everything for what is coming, survival or destruction... This is a question, you need to send the news back immediately. This is important!"

After saying this, Clausen left.

After he left, Miller calmly looked around for 10 minutes. Only after he was sure it was safe, did he pick up the newspaper on the seat next to him and the brown paper envelope inside. And left the opera house, and then took the subway back to his company, and the envelope contained a top-secret document about the Nanyang nuclear arsenal...
