"What do you want to say?" Lin Rui said as he looked at Parmina.

"Before that, I want to ask if you know anything about Novaya Zemlya," Parmina said as she looked at Lin Rui.

Lin Rui was a little dazed, "I don't know what kind of place it is." ”

Yelena's face changed slightly, "That's a nuclear test base!"

Parmina nodded, "Yes." Russia's Novaya Zemlya island is located in the Arctic Circle, with snow all year round, a cold climate, and sparsely populated. Russia's closest cities to the island, such as Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, are a thousand kilometers away.

In July 1954, the Soviet Union decided to build a nuclear test site on the island. From 1959 to the end of 1962, the Soviet Union carried out a total of 91 nuclear explosions on Novaya Zemlya, of which 3 were water explosions, 1 ground explosion, 2 water explosions, and the rest were air explosions.

Most famously, in 1961, the Soviet Union conducted one of the largest hydrogen bomb tests on Novaya Zemlya. In the early morning of the same day, Lyasnikov, a pilot of the Soviet Air Brigade "Bagrovsky", which specialized in airdropping atomic bombs, took off from the Olenya naval airfield near Murmansk. The Tu-95 strategic bomber was loaded with a 26-ton "Big Ivan" hydrogen bomb.

It was the world's largest nuclear bomb ever detonated, with an explosive power of about 58 million tons of TNT. At 11:32 a.m., a hydrogen bomb exploded over Novaya Zemlya Zemlya. When the hydrogen bomb exploded, all radio communications between the bomber and the ship on the ground were cut off, and it was only restored an hour later. The red mushroom cloud is up to 70 kilometers high!"

The hydrogen bomb not only destroyed a building near the epicenter of the explosion, but also severely affected electronic communication systems within a radius of thousands of kilometers. The Soviet anti-aircraft radar in the Arctic was burned out and could not detect air targets. Radio communications at command posts at all levels were interrupted, and communication with the troops was not possible for more than an hour.

The US military's early warning radar in Alaska and high-frequency communications within a range of 4,000 kilometers also failed, which lasted for 20 hours. The electromagnetic disturbance caused by the explosion spread around the world three times. ”

Parmina said so many words in one breath, but suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lin Rui. Lin Rui shrugged, "It's crazy, isn't it? You and the Yankees proved that humans can destroy the whole world." ”

"It was a special time, and it was because of that nuclear explosion that the two sides finally moved towards negotiations. In fact, after the end of the Cold War, Russia announced its plan to maintain its nuclear arsenal and announced that it reserved the right to resume nuclear tests on Novaya Zemlya, but the nuclear tests were never carried out again. In addition, Russia has announced that it is also preparing to establish a nuclear waste storage site on Novaya Zemlya. It is mainly used to store nuclear waste generated by the decommissioned nuclear submarines of the Russian Northern Fleet. Palmina said.

"Generally speaking, there must be a discrepancy between the external claims and the actual situation. Lin Rui shrugged.

Parmina nodded, "Indeed, there are still some small-scale critical experiments. Novaya Zemlya was peaceful until a week ago, when some unidentified militants infiltrated the island, and they used a surprise attack to eliminate the defenders of Novaya Zemlya and hold some scientific researchers hostage. and took charge of a research center on Novaya Zemlya. ”

"The nuclear test base was occupied by a group of militants?" Lin Rui's face changed slightly.

"Yes, the identity of the bandits has not yet been confirmed, and they have not made any claims at this time. Palmina said. "The problem is that there are tactical-grade nuclear warheads for testing at this base. and nuclear waste stored there for real yàn use. ”

"That's what those Alpha special forces out there do. You have weapons and equipment, manpower and technology, and you are fully capable of solving this matter, and you don't need to find mercenaries. Lin Rui looked at Parmina and said.

"It's been almost a week since it happened, don't you think we haven't tried? They occupy the heavily defended test center, and we have tried all kinds of schemes, but we haven't been able to penetrate it. A whole sixty-eight people died for this, and these sixty-eight were the elite of the special forces. "We want to completely destroy it with missiles before things get out of hand." ”

"It's been a week since this happened, but there's no news from the outside world. This means that you blocked this message, and you blocked it because you had scruples. What is there about you that you don't see? I get it, because once it is published, then you are violating the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. Lin Rui nodded and sneered.

"Although we used weapons-grade plutonium and highly enriched uranium in the test, there was no chain reaction and no nuclear energy was released, so this subcritical test does not violate the treaty. We just don't want to make this too visible, especially not to be known by the Americans. And those technocrats and tactical-grade nuclear weapons must be preserved. ”

"So you're going to have a few mercenaries like us go to that occupied nuclear test site and help you save people and help you die. Just because even your ace troops can't do anything, and the death or wound of mercenaries won't cause you trouble. Yelena said angrily.

"Yes, and you have to do it. Parmina said slowly. "Half an hour ago, when you were in my car, my superiors had already made a deal with Silver Wolf. He took the business after all. ”

"This can't be!" said Yelena in surprise, "there's no way the silver wolf will agree to this task. ”

"Unless he knows, if he doesn't say yes, we'll be finished. Lin Rui said coldly.

Parmina shrugged, "I know that doing this would make me look bad as a person. But it doesn't matter, for the sake of the country, I can even sacrifice my life, let alone my reputation and image. In addition, from another point of view, the price we offer to you Black Island Company is also quite good. ”

"I'm going to talk to the Silver Wolf. Lin Rui said calmly.

"No way. From now on, the two of you will not be allowed to have contact with anyone else. We cannot allow this to spread to the detriment of the interests of the Russian Federation. Parmina said coldly. "Here's what you need to have, and you've got a few hours to prepare. In a few hours you will be put on a plane and dropped off on Novaya Zemlya. ”

"What if we refuse to complete the mission?" said Yelena, gritting her teeth.

"You will not refuse, because once you are there. Then there can be no other chance to survive than to eliminate those militants. Novaya Zemlya is located in the Arctic Circle. If you can't get to the base for a few hours, there's only one end - you'll freeze to death outside the base. "And as soon as you get in, the militants will attack you desperately." If you want to stay alive, if you want to fight for your life, you have to fight. ”
