On the afternoon of the 9th, Ji Youguo refused to be retained and set off to return to Shaanxi

Ji Youguo's "free and easy" is not only worthy of admiration and respect, but also caused a lot of trouble. Zhao Rundong obviously wants to support Gu Weimin and hopes that Gu Weimin will play a more important role in the future government. Pang Xinglong has an ambiguous attitude, and no one wants to offend. Pan Yunsheng and Peng Maobang were determined to push Wang Yuanqing up and put Gu Weimin down.

Whether or not to appoint a deputy head of state is a major decision, and it will certainly not be decided for a while.

On October 1, the CIA reached out to the Military Intelligence Agency with a request to continue the outstanding technology deal.

According to the plan that had been determined a long time ago, Li Cunxun, acting director of the Military Intelligence Agency, agreed to the request put forward by CIA~, but said that for the sake of safety, it was not appropriate to contact until the truth of the attack in Bangkok was clarified.

Whatever the C.I.A. thought, the matter was put on hold.

Lee's reply sends a very important signal to the CIA: The attack in Bangkok is closely related to the CIA's secrecy work.

In other words, it is very likely that the CIA leaked the secret deal.

Even without the "hints" of the military intelligence, the CIA knows that it will be very difficult to trade again, and it is more important to find out the truth than to complete the transaction.

Just when the CIA was fully investigating, a major event shocked the world.

January 17th. 11:24 a.m. Beijing time. Thousands of seismic monitoring devices in hundreds of countries have been tested near 26 north latitude and 1 east longitude. Earthquake with a magnitude of 67.

Not a natural earthquake. Rather, it is an "artificial" earthquake.

11 o'clock. Li Cunxun rushed to the Fuhrer's capital.

"The analytics data is out." Li Cunxun handed over a stack of materials to Zhao Rundong. "Shallow earthquakes. The waveform turned out to be an underground nuclear test. ”

Zhao Rundong put on reading glasses. I took a closer look.

"The location is on Jimu Island, the Korihara Islands, Japan." Li Cunxun took out a cigarette. I ordered it without even thinking about it. "Extrapolating from the intensity of the earthquake. The explosive yield at the nuclear test site is between 150,000 and 20,000 tons. Long-range patrol aircraft have already been dispatched. It will not be until this evening that the airborne dust near the explosion site will be collected. Determine the basic nature of the nuclear test site. Basically, it can be determined. It was a pure fission nuclear test. ”

After reading the information, Zhao Rundong took off his reading glasses. "In this way, Japan has developed nuclear weapons."

"To be precise, it should be a nuclear device." Li Cunxun sighed, "Dog Day is very cunning, and he has been engaged in a big project on Nantori Island before, which makes us think that a nuclear test will be carried out on Nantori Island, but I didn't expect that the real location is the mother island of the Komorihara Islands, which is thousands of kilometers away." There was a big deviation in our reconnaissance work, and we were not able to raise the alarm in advance. ”

"It's not going to be much better on the CIA's side."

Li Cunxun nodded and said: "The fact that the US military has not adjusted the fleet and long-range patrol aircraft deployed in the Pacific Ocean shows that the United States has also been deceived. Of course, we cannot deny the possibility that Japan will inform the United States in advance, because Japan has not yet shaken off its dependence on the United States. ”

Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "According to what you said, it is very likely that Japan tested a nuclear device, not a nuclear warhead. ”

"It is possible that it is a nuclear warhead, but a nuclear device is much more likely." Li Cunxun took two puffs of his cigarette, extinguished the cigarette butt, and said, "The technical difficulty of warhead miniaturization is not much lower than the technical difficulty of nuclear material enrichment, although Japan is very likely to obtain the key technology of warhead miniaturization from the Alamos laboratory, and the use of computer simulation tests is enough to obtain more accurate data, but Japan must conduct at least one nuclear test and collect enough first-hand data to make a breakthrough in warhead miniaturization technology." ”

Zhao Rundong thought for a while and said: "In other words, Japan does not yet have the ability to use nuclear weapons. ”

Li Cunxun was late for a moment and said, "You can say that now, but you can't say that in a few months." ”

Zhao Rundong frowned and motioned for Li Cunxun to continue.

"Japan is very technologically strong, so we don't have to have anything to worry about." Li Cunxun picked up the cigarette and was late.

"Smoke if you want, don't care about me."

Li Cunxun smiled, put down his cigarette, and said: "In the past, we obtained enough data through dozens of nuclear tests, established a mathematical model, and completed the design and improvement of nuclear weapons through computer simulation of nuclear explosions. With Japan's capabilities, one, or at most, several nuclear tests would be enough to collect enough data. Within a few months, Japan will be able to come up with a design for a nuclear warhead. Japan has abundant nuclear materials, and after the military junta came to power, it secretly carried out the enrichment of nuclear materials. With Japan's industrial strength, there will be absolutely no problem in coming up with a nuclear warhead with actual combat capability within this year or at the latest in January next year, and in completing the integration of warheads and delivery vehicles. ”

Zhao Rundong smiled bitterly and didn't rush to speak.

"In fact, after Japan's nuclear test, it has achieved its goal." Li Cunxun sighed and said, "With Japan's strength, no one thinks that Japan has the capability of strategic nuclear deterrence in the short term. Technically, nuclear tests are done to collect data. Politically, the nuclear test was to prove Japan's nuclear capabilities. ”

Zhao Rundong pointed

He said, "In this way, Japan will be exhibited early next year at the latest."

Li Cunxun frowned slightly and said: "We have been monitoring Japan's military expansion, and we have to admit that Murakami's ability to control the overall situation is very amazing. Judging from the ground intelligence already available, Japan's two aircraft carriers will form combat strength within this year, and the size of the air force's ground aircraft fleet will be more than doubled early next year, and it will initially have the ability to win a local war in the region. If Japan has nuclear weapons that can be used in actual combat by then, both China and the United States will have to be reserved when Japan expands outward. ”

"That's what Murakami is all about."

"Suffice it to say, with nuclear weapons and conventional military power that surpasses those of his opponents, Murakami can do whatever he wants, regardless of our attitude towards the United States."

"The question is, what do we do." Zhao Rundong rubbed his forehead and said, "Although it is a bit unexpected, the progress of Japan's secret development of nuclear weapons is expected by us. If Japan embarks on a path of external expansion at the end of the year or the beginning of next year, such as attacking South Korea over the Dokdo issue, how should we respond? ”

Li Cunxun was late for a moment and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Although Li Cunxun has been appointed as the acting director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, in front of Zhao Rundong, his status is far inferior to that of Pan Yunsheng, who has "retired", and naturally he cannot casually express his opinions on major national affairs.

Zhao Rundong pondered for a while and looked at Li Cunxun.

"Führer ......"

"Tell me what you think." Zhao Rundong smiled and said, "Just the two of us, don't worry about anything." ”

Li Cunxun let out a sigh and said, "I think it's best not to show your attitude. To be honest, the stick is not a good thing, and it is the same as the dog's day. Until now, the stick has taken America as God. It's useless for us to do anything if we don't give the stick a little hardship. Besides, the United States wishes that we would fight with Japan, and it is better to lose both sides so that the United States can benefit from it. If war breaks out at the end of the year or early next year, our national strategic defense system does not yet have sufficient interception capabilities, and the replacement of conventional troops has not been completed, and the cost of rashly entering the war is too huge. ”

"The problem is, if it drags on, the problem gets worse."

"That's true, but we're definitely faster than Japan." Li Cunxun paused for a moment and said, "Although Japan has a lot of nuclear materials, with Japan's strength, it will deploy a maximum of 100 to 150 nuclear warheads within three years." In three years, our national strategic defense system will have the ability to intercept two hundred targets at the same time. The most important thing is that even Japan, as long as Murakami Sadamasa is not a real madman, will not easily use nuclear weapons in a war, because we have many more nuclear weapons than Japan's, and Japan does not have a strategic defense capability, and the war is still fought with conventional weapons. Even after three years, less than a third of our outfit work has been completed, and we are only capable of fighting a local war on a limited scale. If we really want to fight, it will be more beneficial for us to delay until three years later than to start now. ”

Zhao Rundong smiled faintly, and seemed to be very sure of Li Cunxun's statement.

Li Cunxun knew very well in his heart that Zhao Rundong had already seen these problems and asked him to say them, just saying that he attached great importance to the future director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

"We have to adjust our strategy in a timely manner." Zhao Rundong thought for a while and said, "You prepare the relevant materials, and a high-level meeting will be held tonight, and you will explain the situation." ”

"Me?"

Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "This has always been the job of the director of military intelligence, not by you, but by me?" ”

Li Cunxun smiled and didn't say anything more.

Relatively speaking, the attitude of the republic was very "moderate".

After it was determined that Japan had conducted a nuclear test, South Korea and North Korea protested in the strongest vehement almost simultaneously, followed by a closed-door meeting of all senior officials by the president of South Korea and a command by the North Korean leader to bring the troops to maximum combat readiness.

Russia's response was not slow either, and before 1 o'clock, the 5Tu-160 bomber took off to carry out combat readiness patrol missions.

Whether the bomber carried nuclear weapons or not, Russia did not say, and the outside world did not speculate. Since it is a combat readiness patrol, strategic bombers must definitely carry strategic deterrence weapons.

At 1:30 a.m. EST on the 17th, about five hours after Japan's nuclear test, the White House spokesman held a press conference in the middle of the night to strongly condemn Japan's reckless behavior and suspend the United States from fulfilling its obligations under the US-Japan Security Treaty.

Subsequently, the U.S. fleet deployed in the Pacific began to assemble in the western Pacific region.

The United States is not ready to use force against Japan, but is only exerting pressure on Japan and making its attitude clear to South Korea. From another angle, the United States is "protecting" Japan in disguise by sending a fleet to the western Pacific region.

In any case, the nuclear test tore off the last fig leaf for Japan's covert development of nuclear weapons.

Damn it**

During the closure period, every half an hour, the flickering brothers went crazy together, so that everyone was happy!
