Chapter 64: Weapon-Grade Plutonium
When Lei Tian first walked out of Yingtai, he was a little worried.
The emergency meeting of the political 'governance' bureau lasted for more than two hours, but the verbal arguments at the meeting gave Lei Tiangang some headaches, especially several moderate elders who strongly opposed the abandonment of the Taoguang policy of raising obscurity, and they kept asking whether this matter was done by our people. In fact, the meeting itself was proposed by them, and its ultimate purpose was to pressure President Tang Yiping to change the hard-line foreign policy that he has vigorously pursued since taking office.
Faced with this kind of questioning, Lei Tiangang only replied with two words: "No!" ”
Although these people did not have access to the highest level of core secrets, they still couldn't help but be very puzzled, and this was enough to look at their expressions - their faces clearly had four big words written on them: "I don't believe it"!
The meeting did not reach any unanimous opinion, but only made a decision to "wait and see" and arranged for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to publicize the caliber to the outside world. Political things are too complicated, Lei Tiangang is really impatient with this, but in his position, domestic and international politics are issues that have to be considered, annoying!
After the meeting, when President Tang Yiping asked "whether there would be any mistakes", Lei Tiangang's answer was equally firm.
"No!"
Tang Yiping didn't say much, just nodded silently. It seems that the president believes in himself, just like he believes in those bastard boys, which makes Lei Tiangang a little moved in his heart, but also a little apprehensive.
Those bastard boys, don't they really make any mistakes?
Lei Tiangang was not worried about their combat effectiveness, nor was he worried that they would betray the country or accidentally reveal their identities and leave any leverage for the enemy. But these bold troublemakers, God knows what earth-shattering things they will do?
Lei Tiangang thought about it several times, and only after finally confirming that the list of weapons carried by these boys did not include nuclear bombs, he relaxed a little - at least he could guarantee that these bear soldiers would not use nuclear bombs to bomb Kyoto......
*********************************************************
At this time, the Raging Dragon Squad was sitting on the ground in a dense forest in the mountains about 100 kilometers northeast of Kyoto.
Taking advantage of the radar interference caused by the heavy rain and the attention of the troops attracted by the fierce attack in the city, the team took a parachute and divided into two groups to avoid the Kyoto air defense circle and successfully landed in this mountain forest.
Lang Tianyu was sent to guard the periphery, and Lei Dong signaled the team members to replenish water as soon as possible. After more than ten hours of continuous combat, although it seemed that the thousands of troops were invincible and seemed to be very relaxed, in fact, the team members were very nervous. Deep into the enemy's territory, no rear, no support, facing an army that is also ranked first in the world, as long as one step is wrong, it is likely to be the end of the whole army, the team members don't care about the face, but the strings in their hearts have been tightened. If you are an ordinary person, this kind of huge pressure, let alone face it, just thinking about it may collapse.
And continuous high-intensity combat, the consumption is still very large, although physical strength is not a problem at all, but the rapid loss of water in the body is still a problem that has to be faced.
Lei Dong took a sip on the water bladder straw, moistened his dry throat, and took out a waterproof map and spread it in front of him. Dark clouds quickly surrounded several people.
The current location of the team, in the Owu Mountains in the north-central part of Jepong, is already part of the territory of Fuku Island County.
Fukudo Prefecture is the third largest county in Jepong, with the Mukuma Highlands in the east and the Oku Mountains in the west, and the two mountain ranges run north-south, dividing Fukudo Prefecture into three areas: Jintong, Chuhui, and Haitong.
The goal of the team is the Haitong area.
The Haitong area is located in the eastern part of the Mukuma Highlands and along the coast of the Peace Ocean, with 160 kilometers of straight coastline, and the numerous rivers that flow eastward from the Mukuma Highlands into the Peace Ocean form an alluvial plain along the seaside. The Mukuma Highland Mountains stretch forward to the coast, isolating the plain from the rest of the world.
Looking at the red dot marked by Lei Dong on the map, the dark cloud frowned and wondered: "You are so sure, that thing, right here?" ”
Lei Dong nodded firmly: "That's right, according to my judgment, that thing must be here!" ”
"Why?"
"Why?" Lei Dong rolled his eyes and clicked on the red dot on the map, "Do you know what this place is?" ”
Wuyun also rolled his eyes, and said dissatisfiedly: "Boss, you are an idiot for me, Fuku Island Nuclear Power Plant, children know it!" ”
"Do you remember the earthquake 15 years ago?"
"Well, I was too young to be impressed...... Besides, the Jeppen earthquake, the people who died were all Jeppen people, I care about him so much, I don't have to worry until I die! The dark cloud said fiercely.
Lei Dong smiled and didn't say any more, he knew that this guy was pretending to be stupid!
Due to its geographical location and geological structure, Jeppen is not only densely volcanic, but also a country with a high incidence of earthquakes, with strong earthquakes of more than 7 magnitude occurring in history. Fifteen years ago, the magnitude 9 mega earthquake that epicenter in Fukudo Prefecture triggered a massive tsunami that killed more than 50,000 people and injured more than 200,000.
To make matters worse, the earthquake and the ensuing tsunami caused a serious accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, which was built on the border between the sea and the Mukuma Highlands, with three of the six reactors ceasing to operate and exploding, and two plants and one reactor were surgically damaged. Radiation of up to 6,000 sieverts, tens of thousands of times higher than the normal limit, forced 200,000 people to evacuate their homes.
Subsequently, several nuclear wastewater leakage accidents occurred at the nuclear power plant, and thousands of tons of sewage containing highly radioactive substances broke through the steel trough and flowed into the Pacific Ocean along the ground, causing large areas of seawater in the West and Pacific Ocean. Even the two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers of the Minia Federation Navy, which were stationed hundreds of miles away, had to be evacuated urgently.
This nuclear accident, together with the explosion of the Cherno nuclear power plant in the Souss Federation, is called the worst nuclear accident in human history. Despite years of treatment by the Jeppon government, levels of nuclear radiation in the surrounding area have remained high, leaving the area as a desolate no-man's land. Ten years ago, the Jeppen government officially designated a 20-kilometre radius around the Foku Island nuclear power plant as a no-go zone, with no access to anyone except for essential nuclear waste disposal personnel.
Looking at the dark clouds with a thoughtful look, Lei Dong gave a disdainful look and said, "If you have 40 tons of weapons-grade plutonium, can you think of a better place to store it than here?" ”
Weapons-grade plutonium! One of the main goals of the Raging Dragon project is enough to create weapons-grade plutonium for more than 5,000 nuclear bombs!
