The reporting order of the relevant units has been stipulated for a long time, and it is controlled by the computer of the automatic command system, so there will be no confusion caused by the rush of various units to report.

Hearing that all the reports from the relevant departments were normal, Zhou Tao was very satisfied with the submarine under his command. Launching ICBMs from submarines has always been a very dangerous subject, and failures have occurred in China, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and France, and the failures occurred at the initial stage of launching, causing huge damage to the hull of the ship and even casualties among the sunken submarines.

Of course, if an ICBM has already been launched and the rocket or warhead fails, that failure has little to do with the submarine, it is mainly a matter of the ICBM or the launch vehicle itself.

At this time, the officers and soldiers in charge of monitoring reported loudly: "The rocket was launched normally, and it rose completely according to the trajectory!" ”

In wartime, after launching the first missile, the most important job of the submarine is to immediately dive into the water and escape from the original place, so as not to let enemy planes and warships come to capture, bomb, and track. As for the ICBMs that are launched, they don't care after they are launched, at least they are not monitored and guided by submarines. Even if it really needs help, it is the ground personnel or the equipment in the air and space to direct and guide, and the submarine's job is to escape and protect itself.

However, this time, China is deliberately trying to show its might to all countries in the world, and its intention is to make the United States and the Soviet Union jealous, and naturally it cannot follow the wartime regulations; besides, no country will sink a missile on a Chinese test submarine, and if that happens, it will be a formal declaration of war and the start of war.

Zhou Tao felt that the shaking and vibration of the submarine had been greatly reduced, so he immediately ordered: "Fill the target coordinates into the No. 8 rocket and warhead, and enter the terminal maneuver parameters!" ”

The computer delivery of the numbers was very rapid, and soon the following departments reported:

"The number of target coordinates at the eighth position has been entered!"

"The maneuvering parameters at the end of the eighth-position warhead have been entered!"

Zhou Tao ordered loudly: "Report the status of the rocket and warhead at the eighth position!" ”

As his voice fell. Immediately someone reported loudly:

"The eighth position rocket is normal!"

"The warhead at the eighth position is normal!"

The chief of staff immediately said loudly: "Report to the captain, the hull of the ship is normal and can launch intercontinental missiles!" ”

Zhou Tao raised his right hand and then pressed it violently, shouting: "The eighth rocket is launched!" ”

The previous action was repeated again, and the hull of the ship sank sharply again. After the hull of the ship stabilized a little, Zhou Tao ordered: "Dive quickly for two hundred meters and sail to Area C at the highest speed." The Chief of Staff will take over the command. ”

Zhou Tao is the captain of the ship, how the submarine dives, how to leave as fast as possible. It was up to the chief of staff to take command.

When the No. 075 nuclear submarine quickly left the scene, the United States and the Soviet Union were stunned, they never thought that China would dare to launch two intercontinental missiles at the same time, to know how big the risk of launching an intercontinental missile is, even if not to mention whether the two intercontinental missiles hit a target thousands of miles away. The mere act of launching an intercontinental missile is enough to make the decision more frightening, and if the launch fails, it will be a big joke, and it will be a big shame in front of everyone in the world, and it is very likely to cause a major accident in which the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed, and the loss of a multibillion-dollar nuclear submarine, and more importantly, the loss of submarine officers and men who are more expensive than gold, who are the elite of the navy.

If the risk of launching one is huge, the risk of launching two in a row is even greater. And it is a superposition of risks, which is several times the risk of one.

The Chinese are really crazy!

Some people also wonder if China's nuclear submarine launch technology has been far ahead of the United States and the Soviet Union, and they have this self-confidence and this calm capital? Otherwise. How can it be so risky, now is not the time of the war, and there is no need to race against time, there may be a last resort during the war. Even if the nuclear submarine sinks by itself, it will have to take risks, because if it is not launched one after another. China is at risk of extinction, and even the country is about to be finished, so naturally it doesn't care about the loss of a nuclear submarine.

But now?

The Americans and the Soviets all thought so, but they were buried in their hearts, and their hands and feet were not idle, and their eyes were always fixed on the operational status of the two ICBMs, one after the other, and calculated their target positions according to their trajectory. You must know that these two warheads carry nuclear weapons, not a single shell, and once they deviate from the direction and land on their own territory, it is definitely not a joke.

The countries concerned are not keeping an eye on the operation of the two missiles, but are also prepared in case of accidents, and have also prepared a variety of statements to deal with different test results, which will be published as soon as possible. Of course, they will certainly not be prepared to congratulate China on the success of nuclear weapons and intercontinental missile tests, nor will they be prepared to praise China's statements, but only condemnation, ridicule, ridicule, claims, declarations of war, and other statements.

Because the purpose of this launch of the ICBM was to demonstrate, the launch time chosen by China was noon in China, which was also the time when the light was brightest and the easiest to see; not only could the reconnaissance satellites of the United States and the Soviet Union catch the figures of the two missiles at the first time, but even the radars on their reconnaissance planes were also eyed, and some pilots even saw the traces left by the missiles after they flew.

The US military located at the Naha Naval Base immediately dispatched patrol planes, anti-submarine planes, and destroyers to quickly go to the place where the Chinese No. 075 nuclear submarine launched intercontinental missiles; although they knew that the Chinese submarine had already fled, they still had to look for this submarine, which was the air defense identification circle demarcated by the United States, and it was also the doorstep of the US naval base.

On the high seas, they encountered a mixed Chinese fleet, the flagship of which was played by a battleship, accompanied by two missile destroyers and three frigates, as well as a large supply ship. They are also speeding towards the place where the nuclear submarine fired an intercontinental missile. This is China's only battleship, which is prepared for China's future aircraft carrier battle group, as the most powerful short-range and medium-range sea surface strike force of the aircraft carrier battle group, and also the most powerful frigate.

Since the advent of aircraft carriers, the status of battleships is decreasing day by day, and many people are not optimistic about the role of battleships, thinking that they are only targets for the enemy, but China still builds, not only because of the accumulation of experience in building large warships, but more importantly, battleships have the ability that other warships do not have.

Although the United States has several unrivaled aircraft carrier battle groups, it still has not eliminated its battleships, and even if the Iowa-class battleships were retired in 1992, they could be restored to combat effectiveness and join active service within two months.

It is impossible for China to surpass the United States in the strength of aircraft carrier battle groups in the past decade, and China's combat goal is not only to focus on the United States, so there is still a huge demand for a few battleships, which is also of practical significance.

The fleet, which is currently sailing on the sea, answered inquiries from the US and Japanese forces when it passed through the Miyaya Strait yesterday, saying that it was going to the western Pacific Ocean for routine training, and that it was naturally a normal voyage. However, now it seems that they are an emergency rescue team to prevent the accident of the Project 075 nuclear submarine from doing their best to rescue them.

You don't have to think about it to know that China's ICBM here is not a temporary idea, but a long preparation, although it is not necessarily a choice to launch here, but at least one of several plans.

Isn't this a demonstration to us, the United States?

While the eyes of the Soviet Union and the United States were firmly fixed on the two intercontinental missiles with nuclear warheads launched by China's nuclear submarines, in a small courtyard at the center of China's capital government, the supreme chief was receiving His Excellency Prince Sihanouk, the head of state of Cambodia, and the two were already old friends. Three years ago, when China took advantage of the complicated international situation to normalize Sino-Vietnamese relations with Vietnam, China forced the unsustainable Vietnam to withdraw its troops from Cambodia.

Prince Sihanouk is also a smart man, and he smiled and asked China's top leader: "Your country's launch of an intercontinental missile carrying nuclear weapons this time is aimed at the United States and the Soviet Union, right?" Your country is at a bad time with the Western countries, led by the United States, so why are you provoking the Soviet Union? Do you think that you already have the strength to challenge their two superpowers? There is a saying in your country, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and there is also a saying that the snipe and the clam compete for the profit of the fisherman, why don't you watch them fight from the side? In that case, wouldn't your country get more benefits? Please forgive me for being straightforward, and please tell me about this old friend, let me feel at ease, as an old friend of the Chinese people, I very much hope that your country can develop rapidly, and I hope that China will gain more benefits in the world. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your concern, I understand what you mean." The supreme chief smiled and said, "However, I have to correct your statement first, we are not at odds with the United States and other Western countries. Our relationship with the United States is still the same as before, or since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in 1972. It can also be said that China and the United States are still in the honeymoon period. At least China has not taken the initiative to engage in hostility with the United States, and they have not done anything to substantially harm China. ”

Prince Sihanouk looked at the supreme chief suspiciously, and asked, "Isn't your launch of ICBMs aimed at them this time?" Isn't this a kind of fighting? Besides, the attitude of Japan, India, the Philippines, and Australia towards your country was not instigated by the United States? ”
