Chapter 890: The Nuclear Warhead Is Lost
So, there is only one possibility, it is not the GSG9 special forces who stormed the embassy at all and rescued Günter Lahr, but someone else! Now it seems that the head of the well-known East German intelligence agency, the hidden man, is the most likely! It was he who single-handedly created the current conflict! Including the confrontation between the GSG9 special forces and the United States, how could the Germans dare to make a move against the American army if no one provoked it?
At this time, the dispute cannot be expanded! Otherwise, you have fallen for the tricks of the Hidden Face!
Thinking of the hidden man, Bowen has a headache, until now, he doesn't know the appearance of the hidden man, and now the information revealed is that in the GSG9 special forces, there must be East German agents! Otherwise, how could this force, which was originally loyal to the Federal Government of Germany, come into conflict with the American garrison?
Moreover, the people have already been instigated, and it was under such instigation that the people of the island nation completely fell to the USSR! Germany, we can't afford to make the same mistake! At that time, the island country was surrounded by the sea, but it was also occupied by the Soviet Union, and now, opposite is East Germany, just separated by a wall, if there is a riot here, the East Germany on the opposite side will definitely use the slogan of saving their nation to tear down the Berlin Wall and fight it!
Don't let that happen! Thinking of this, Bowen was even more firm in his judgment, this matter must be calmed down, and no more fuel can be added! It just so happened that this incident exposed some East German intelligence officers, who could investigate slowly, and definitely not in a hurry!
However, not everyone agrees with his ideas, and even Bernard himself is skeptical of his opinion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"This is West Germany, the front of our NATO, and if we compromise here, it's time for the people on the other side to laugh at us! Have you forgotten the Prague Spring? At that time, the Soviet Union had to mobilize its troops to stop it, even at the risk of being attacked by us. When the state apparatus is at risk, the army is the biggest reliance! At this time, we must not retreat! If we take a step back, the conspirators, who hide in the army and the people, will continue to move forward! Old John continued: "Afraid of what? Germany is different from the island countries, if East Germany dares to send troops, it will be a direct confrontation with us! That's World War III! The USSR absolutely did not want to see this situation! Otherwise, when the United States was in economic crisis last year, why did the Soviet Union transfuse blood to the United States through the island countries? ”
Old John saw it more accurately. The Prague Spring of that year was a bloody example of how the Soviet Union managed to maintain order in Czechoslovakia by force, regardless of the process. Moreover, last year, when the US economy was about to collapse, the Soviet Union actually gave a blood transfusion, why is this? It was because the Soviet Union was also afraid of World War III!
If you can't fight, what are you afraid of!
"Boom," just then, the door suddenly opened, and an adjutant hurried in, reporting to several people: "Oh no, Commander, the nuclear warhead of one of our Pershing-2 missiles has been lost!" ”
Pershing 2 missile! The sword of Damocles hanging over the European part of the USSR!
This is a medium-range surface-to-surface solid ballistic missile with a length of 10 meters, a diameter of 1 meter, a launch mass of 7.26 tons, and a launch preparation time of 5 minutes. The maximum range is 1800 km, the maximum flight altitude is about 300 km, the hit accuracy is 40 meters, and it carries a nuclear warhead with a power of 5~50 kilotons of TNT equivalent!
This medium-range ballistic missile, so to speak, was developed by the United States in order to counterbalance the Soviet Union, so all the missiles produced were deployed to West Germany, and from here, they could be directly hit in Eastern Europe!
Medium-range missiles have a short preparation time and a fast launch speed, they are tactical missiles, and once a world war really breaks out, these missiles will fly to Eastern Europe in the first time! Moreover, almost all of them are mobile launches, and the concealment is also very strong.
So far, the United States has deployed 108 Pershing-2 missiles, all of which are deployed in the Federal Republic of Germany, and 464 Tomahawk land-launched cruise missiles in the United Kingdom, Italy, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. As the main weapon to counterbalance the USSR.
However, although this missile has all kinds of advantages, in fact, when it is actually stored, it is not always pulled around on the launch vehicle, and this kind of missile only assembles the first-stage missile body, the second-stage missile body and the nuclear warhead into a whole before the operation, and each part is stored separately and placed in a container in peacetime.
The storage sites are heavily guarded, and in this case, it is possible to drop nuclear warheads? It's simply incredible!
Although in later generations, when watching movies, the launch of nuclear warheads needs to go through layers of procedures, for example, only when the nuclear button of the US president is pressed, the nuclear bombs of the troops at all levels below can be launched.
However, that's just launching a nuclear bomb! And now, what is missing is a nuclear warhead! If you are an engineer who is familiar with the US nuclear bomb, you can easily decipher the code of the nuclear warhead, because the code is indeed not complicated, it is just a set of eight zeros.
What does the loss of a nuclear warhead mean? If it falls into the hands of terrorists, loads it in a car, puts it in the center of a city and explodes, then the whole city is finished!
"What's going on?" Bernard asked, his face changing.
"It was the base of the 31st Tactical Wing of Germany that was lost." The adjutant said: "It is suspected that it may be an insider who committed the crime, and the other party is very familiar with the security work of the entire base, and did not alarm anyone, but only two dogs died." ”
31st Tactical Wing! Germany's ace fighter-bomber wing! Based at Nerfenich Air Base, the 31st Fighter-Bomber Wing, the first unit of the Federal Republic of Germany's air force after World War II, was approved by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on 19 January 1959. Even in the subsequent annual review, which was held by representatives of NATO member states, the wing performed well and was appointed as one of the first crisis response forces. It was also Germany's most powerful unit against the Soviet Union, and its combat equipment was always the most advanced, and in later generations, it was this wing that was the first to equip the Typhoon.
The Pershing-2 missiles deployed by the United States in Germany are deployed in the 56th Field Brigade of the United States Army and the two air wings of the Federal Republic of Germany, including the veteran 31st Tactical Wing.
As a result, now, this wing has dropped the nuclear warheads of the missiles deployed to them!
"It has long been said that nuclear bombs should not be equipped with the German army, they are unreliable!" Commander John said: "I suggest that all the nuclear bombs equipped by the German army be recovered at once!" ”
Oops, the conspiracy of the Soviets, is becoming more and more obvious! Bowen suddenly figured it out. (To be continued.) )
