Volume 6 The Storm of War Chapter 43 Return to the Center
In the evening, a long-range patrol plane that flew to the Komorihara Islands to collect airborne dust returned to the military base.!!
Because they are not aircraft specifically designed to collect data on nuclear tests ("professional" aircraft have a relatively short range), the airborne dust collected by the long-range patrol aircraft is not examined and analyzed until it returns to base.
At around 8 o'clock, Li Cunxun got the first report.
Without waiting for the final results to come out, Li Cunxun drove to the head of state's capital to attend a meeting of senior leaders.
In addition to Pang Xinglong, Peng Maobang, Gu Weimin, Huang Guowei, and others, Lieutenant General Xiang Linghui and Guangxi Chairman Wang Yuanqing, who returned to Beijing to do business, also attended the meeting.
Like Pan Yunsheng in the past, Li Cunxun was the last to arrive.
"The results of the preliminary analysis are in." Li Cunxun gave the information to Zhao Rundong, but because he was in too much of a hurry, he did not prepare a copy. "It is a bomb, and the purity of nuclear raw materials exceeds 95 percent, which shows that Japan has mastered very advanced ~ purification and concentration technology. It was not detected in the dust, it was a pure fission nuclear test, and the yield of the explosive device was between 15,000 and 20,000 tons. ”
"That is, Japan did conduct a nuclear test?"
"Exactly, no." Li Cunxun nodded at Peng Maobang and said, "Whether it is the detected seismic waveform or the collected air dust, it proves that Japan has conducted an underground nuclear test on the mother island of the Korihara Islands." ”
The scientific evidence is irrefutable.
The waveform of a natural earthquake is very different from that of a man-made earthquake caused by a nuclear explosion or explosives explosion. After North Korea announced that it had conducted its first nuclear test. Immediately vetoed by the United States. The reason for this is that the seismic waveform measured in the United States belongs to the explosion of explosives. Not a nuclear explosion. That is until North Korea claims to have conducted a second underground nuclear test. The United States recognized it. The main basis is still the measured seismic waveform of the United States.
The composition of air dust is more convincing. Natural earthquakes and earthquakes caused by explosives do not produce radioactive fallout.
"Needless to say. Japan has successfully conducted a nuclear test. Zhao Rundong sighed. Relatively speaking. The nature of the nuclear test site, what kind of nuclear material to use, and the power of the explosion are all secondary issues. Importantly is. What are we going to do. How to deal with what happens next. ”
No one was in a hurry to speak. Instead, he set his sights on Li Cunxun.
"The U.S. has adjusted its military deployment." Li Cunxun handed over the photos he brought to Zhao Rundong's secretary. Let him allude to the picture on the curtain wall. "A total of five aircraft carrier battle groups. The two will reach the western Pacific within three days. The other three will reach the western Pacific within a week to half a month. An aerospace expeditionary group deployed on United States soil is moving to Guam. Four hours ago. The first batch of four Bs was lifted off and put on standby. ”
"The United States is preparing for military action against Japan?" Pang Xinglong immediately asked.
"Just for show." Li Cunxun smiled slightly and said, "The US president has not issued a mobilization order, and the army has not entered a state of combat readiness, military mobilization and deployment can be regarded as normal activities, and it is also very common for strategic bombers to take off to duty." Most of the actions of the United States are for South Korea to show and prevent South Korea from overreacting. ”
Pang Xinglong frowned slightly and sighed.
"Japan's nuclear tests will not stop." Li Cunxun asked Zhao Rundong's secretary to change the second photo, "This is taken by a reconnaissance satellite this afternoon, and the two freighters will rendezvous with the fleet in Sagami Bay and go to the mother island together." It follows that Japan will conduct several nuclear tests in the coming days to months, with one or two thermonuclear tests or enhanced fission tests. If Japan's nuclear tests continue until the end of the year, the last or two will be simulated combat tests of nuclear warheads. During this period, Japan will certainly continue to conduct test launches of ballistic and cruise missiles and speed up the construction of strategic nuclear submarines. By early next year at the latest, Japan will deploy 10 to 20 X-11 strategic ballistic missiles and 20 to 30 air-launched cruise missiles in actual combat. ”
The room was silent, and everyone was breathing.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Cunxun said: "Japan's two medium-sized aircraft have already completed their outfitting work, and they will be able to form combat capability by the end of next year. ”
"Now, we don't want to fight, and someone is forcing us to fight!"
Glancing at Peng Maobang, Zhao Rundong said: "It is not up to Japan to decide whether to fight or not." Even if Japan has nuclear weapons, it is still a dwarf in front of us, and if we really fight, we can destroy Japan a hundred times! Besides, nuclear weapons are just a stick to frighten people. With the exception of the United States, which was used twice during World War II, no country has dared to use nuclear weapons in war. ”
Peng Maobang took two puffs of cigarette and didn't "care" about Zhao Rundong.
"We have to respond, not be reactive." Pang Xinglong was late for a moment and said, "No matter what, let's show our attitude first." ”
"We have to take action." Gu Weimin also spoke.
"Let the USS Republic aircraft carrier battle group leave the port as soon as possible." Zhao Rundong let out a sigh and said, "Go to the western Pacific to carry out combat readiness patrol missions and monitor Japan's movements." All strategic deterrence forces were brought to the highest state of combat readiness, bombing
On duty, strategic nuclear submarines will take turns to go to sea, strategic missile forces will enter the plane> ground troops in the northeast and eastern regions will be put into a state of readiness, and efforts will be made to hold one or two large-scale military exercises within the year. The East China Sea Fleet left the Diaoyu Islands to carry out patrol missions in the waters of the East China Sea. The North Sea Fleet went to the southern waters of the Yellow Sea to cooperate with the East China Sea Fleet. The South China Sea Fleet is maneuvering eastward, ready to enter the western Pacific at any time. Attack nuclear submarines and electric submarines take turns to go to sea, closely monitor the submarines of the Japanese Navy, and make preparations to deal with Japan's strategic nuclear submarines. ”
After Zhao Rundong finished speaking in one breath, Peng Maobang nodded and did not make any additions.
This deployment is simply a preparation for all-out war. Even if the Republic does not want to go to war with Japan at this time, it must make a show and scare Japan.
The most important thing is that the military operations of the republic are able to stabilize the DPRK to the greatest extent.
"In the short term, we cannot take the initiative to provoke a war." Zhao Rundong hesitated for a moment, picked up the cigarette that was placed in Peng Maobang's hand, and said to Li Cunxun, "How is the work of the national strategic defense system arranged?" ”
"The inspection of the three technical data has been completed, which is very helpful to us, and the first prototype can be manufactured within the year for simulated combat testing. If all goes well, the first phase of construction will be completed by the end of 2023, with a basic strategic defense capability. ”
Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "The construction of conventional armaments must be accelerated. ”
"Funding has been adjusted, and the State Council fully cooperates." Pang Xinglong immediately expressed his position.
"The outfitting of the three large attack aircraft carriers will be completed within this year, the personnel training will be basically in place, and the combat effectiveness will be formed by June next year at the latest." Peng Maobang extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "The ground test flight of the new bomber will start early next year, and if six more prototypes are produced, the test flight work can be completed by 2023, and the production will be completed by the end of 2023." Other refitting work is mainly a financial problem, and the technical difficulty is not very large. ”
"In any case, we must raise the combat effectiveness of our army and ground to a higher level by the end of 2023."
Peng Maobang nodded, and didn't say much.
"The domestic economy also needs to be adjusted." Zhao Rundong paused slightly and said, "It is conceivable that if we break out into a full-scale war with Japan, the United States will not sit idly by. We have already predicted that the possibility of war on the Korean Peninsula within the next three years is very high. In this case, military struggle is only one of the forms of national warfare. Regardless of whether the United States is willing to work with us to strike at Japan and eliminate Japan's nuclear threat, the United States will spare no effort to strike at us, weaken our national strength, and reduce us to a second-rate or even third-rate country. We must be fully prepared to meet unprecedented challenges and overcome the most severe crisis since the founding of the People's Republic of China! ”
"I'll arrange for the government to work."
Seeing Pang Xinglong's attitude of not wanting to stay, Peng Maobang hesitated for a moment and said: "Adjusting the overall national strategy is by no means a trivial matter, not only related to the next government, but also related to the previous governments in the future. I believe that it is necessary to expand the leadership group as soon as possible and allow young cadres like Comrade Wang Yuanqing to participate in the decision-making work, so as to ensure the smooth handover of government work and the continuity and coherence of the country's overall strategy. ”
Hearing this, Li Cunxun looked at Wang Yuanqing, who was sitting at the bottom.
Wang Yuanqing was late for a moment and said: "Mr. Peng's words are serious, the pilot work in Guangxi is not over yet, I will return to Nanning as soon as possible, and other things ......."
"Xiao Wang, you are too modest in what you say. At the beginning of the year, I went to Guangxi to inspect the situation of the army, and you did a good job there. I heard that Ye Zhisheng, who went to Guangxi with you, helped you handle most of the work. I don't think you have to go back when you come back this time, and the affairs of Guangxi will be handed over to Ye Zhisheng. If you stay at the central level, you will still be able to command remotely, and you will be able to win better policies for Guangxi's pilot work. Peng Maobang smiled and said to Zhao Rundong, "Lao Zhao's thoughts are the same as mine, the central government needs young people like Xiao Wang." Lao Zhao, am I right? ”
This is the difference between Peng Maobang and Pan Yunsheng. Pan Yunsheng will never be "anti-customer-oriented" and make decisions for Zhao Rundong.
Peng Maobang will not be so polite, as long as he recognizes it, he will not think too much about Zhao Rundong's thoughts.
Zhao Rundong smiled bitterly and said, "That's fine, Xiao Wang will stay and participate in the decision-making work of the Central Committee as a temporary member." ”
"But ......"
"Xiao Wang, since the head of state and Mr. Peng have said so, don't hesitate." Pang Xinglong said to Wang Yuanqing with a smile, "I also know those things in Guangxi, and if there is anything needed, the State Council will try to cooperate." Lao Pan is gone, although Xiao Li's ability is obvious to all, but the central government needs more talents. ”
When it comes to this, Wang Yuanqing can't say anything more.
Damn it**
During the closure period, every half an hour, the flickering brothers went crazy together, so that everyone was happy!
