, Wang Yuanqing arrived at the strategic command center. [No pop-up novel network]

The strategic threat alert has been lifted, and the participating units are assessing the results of the battle.

Before the chief of the General Staff reported to the Führer, Defense Minister Ye Zhisheng and Military Intelligence Director Li Cunxun came to the strategic command center.

Ye Zhisheng returned to Beijing at noon, and as soon as he got off the plane, he was picked up by agents of the Ministry of State Security.

Li Cunxun did not come to visit Wang Yuanqing, but to report the situation to the head of state.

"It is almost certain that all twelve X-ballistic missiles launched were shot down." Li Cunxun said as he pulled out a cigarette, "More than 20 minutes have passed, and if there is any fish that has slipped through the net, we have received a report." Judging from the information that has been obtained, all 12 missiles are aimed at large cities in the northeastern region of our country. On the way over, I called the chief of the General Staff, and said that the first batch of downed missiles had landed in Japan, and the location of the second batch of missiles was still being confirmed, which should be in Japan's territorial waters. ”

Wang Yuanqing nodded and did not speak in a hurry.

Li Cunxun lit a cigarette and said, "Now the question: Yes, do we want to carry out a strategic counterattack." ”

Hearing this, Ye Zhisheng's head jumped a few times and looked at Wang Yuanqing.

Yuan still didn't rush to speak. It seems that I want to hear the advice of the two staff.

Ye Zhisheng was suspicious. turned his gaze to Li Cunxun.

Li Cunxun smiled bitterly and shook his head. "In accordance with the principles recognized by the international community. Japan has already launched a nuclear attack on our country. Although all missiles were shot down. No nuclear warheads fell on the territory of our country. However, it can only prove China's local strategic defense capability. This cannot be denied that Japan did not use nuclear weapons against our country in the war. Even if our country immediately launches a strategic nuclear counterattack. Nor can the international community blame us for that. ”

"Director Li. You mean ......"

"I do not support a strategic counterattack." Li Cunxun did not hesitate any longer. Said. "Morally speaking, we are fighting a war on the ground of justice, on the one hand, and on the one hand, on the ground of counter-aggression. If we use nuclear weapons in war. The righteous position will be lost. In terms of weapon effectiveness. The spread of nuclear weapons is too widespread. It will inevitably not affect neighboring countries. Elsewhere, the Far East will certainly be affected. The U.S. island of Guam is also likely to be affected. Although this is our war with Japan. But we cannot ignore the influence of other great powers. If we were to strike the Japanese mainland with nuclear weapons, there was a risk that it would lead to unimaginable consequences. ”

"What consequences?" Wang Yuanqing picked up the cigarette case that Li Cunxun put on the coffee table.

Ye Zhisheng smiled secretly, and was also waiting for Li Cunxun to speak.

Seeing that the Minister of National Defense did not want to express his position, Li Cunxun could only stubbornly say: "We all know that any nuclear power has a strategic early warning mechanism, and there are no less than ten strategic early warning satellites that are monitoring our country. As soon as our country launches a ballistic missile, even if it is a submarine-launched ballistic missile, it will be detected immediately. Although both the United States and Russia know that Japan is the target of our attack, all nuclear powers adhere to the principle of 'nuclear bondage'. Not to mention that the United States thinks that we will expand the rules of war, even if it is only a temporary increase in the level of strategic alert, it may lead to a miscalculation, believing that China's missiles are flying towards the US mainland and carrying out a strategic counterattack before the missiles land. The outcome is difficult to predict, and even if only one US strategic ballistic missile is launched, the strategic early warning mechanism will respond. Wherever that missile falls, the consequences are unimaginable. In any case, we must avoid turning this regional war into a global nuclear war. ”

"Is it that dangerous?"

Li Cunxun nodded and didn't say anything more. As head of military intelligence, his role was to provide the Führer with the intelligence information he needed to make decisions, not to make decisions on behalf of the Führer. Besides, where the Minister of Defense sits, he has not spoken, so he should let the Minister of Defense have some opinions.

As if seeing through Li Cunxun's thoughts, Wang Yuanqing turned his gaze to Ye Zhisheng.

"Lao Li's words are not wrong." Ye Zhisheng is a few years younger than Li Cunxun, and he has always respected the director of the military intelligence bureau who interrogated him back then. "Although the probability of a mishit is less than one in a trillion, this possibility cannot be ruled out, and the consequences are also something we cannot afford."

"We can't just have no reaction, can we?" Wang Yuanqing smiled faintly, as if he was not very satisfied with Ye Zhisheng's words.

"A reaction is a reaction, but it must not deviate from our principles. When we drew up our strategic plan, we made clear the purpose of controlling the scale of the war. The defeat of Japan was only to ensure the security of the republic, not the ultimate goal of the republic. For us, Japan is just a clown, and the future of the Republic is still very long. Ye Zhisheng picked up Li Cunxun's cigarette and lit one not very politely. National rejuvenation requires the defeat of many enemies, and Japan can only be regarded as a relatively difficult opponent, not a real enemy. We must take into account the feelings of the countries around us, and we must not risk the condemnation of the whole world, still less put the Republic in a disadvantageous position. ”

Wang Yuanqing nodded slightly, motioning for Ye Zhisheng to continue.

"In the longer term, we are even less likely to use nuclear weapons in war." Ye Zhisheng took two puffs of his cigarette, thought quickly, and said, "As Lao Li said, the scope of nuclear weapons is too wide. Now it's the West Taiping

If we drop a nuclear warhead on the Japanese mainland, it will definitely not only be Japan, but also the pond fish. ”

Wang Yuanqing frowned, as if he didn't understand Ye Zhisheng's words.

"Before the outbreak of the war, the Ministry of Defense rented a supercomputer from the National Computing Center to simulate the results of a nuclear strike." Ye Zhisheng let out a long breath and said, "The results of simulated nuclear strike calculations for Tokyo, O, Nagoya, Kobe, Okayama, Hiroshima, Nagasaki and other major cities in Japan show that in a strategic strike aimed at destroying cities, even if a nuclear warhead with a yield of 150,000 tons is used, the mushroom cloud generated will have an impact on the surrounding area within hundreds of kilometers, and radioactive fallout may even drift thousands of kilometers away with seasonal air currents." ”

Wang Yuanqing's brows jumped a few times and extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand.

"The result is self-evident." Ye Zhisheng also extinguished the cigarette butt, "Now the southeast wind is blowing, if it hits the cities in the western part of Japan, the radioactive dust will not drift into Russia, but it will fall on the Korean Peninsula and the northeast of our country." If the air explosion method is used to detonate the projectile dust, it will also enter the stratosphere and fall to the eastern part of China. The population of the three eastern provinces exceeds 100 million, the population of the eastern region exceeds 400 million, and the total population of the non-residential areas exceeds 700 million. Although the impact of radioactive fallout is far less than that of a nuclear explosion, information is now very advanced and may block information. If the people knew that the nuclear warheads we dropped on Japan would threaten 700 million people, how many people would support the war against Japan? We cannot predict public opinion, nor can we grasp public opinion. If one nuclear strike does not suffice, how many nuclear strikes will we have to use to achieve the purpose of war? Ten, twenty, fifty, or hundred? If the situation gets out of control, I am afraid that we will have to completely destroy Japan with nuclear warheads. If you kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, can you use 700 million compatriots and half a republic to bury Japan? The consequences are simply unimaginable, so I support Lao Li's suggestion that nuclear weapons cannot be used lightly unless forced to do so. ”

Wang Yuanqing nodded again, still not in a hurry to speak.

Ye Zhisheng picked up the teacup and said something.

has followed Wang Yuanqing for many years, and he has long known the character of the Führer. Before making strategic decisions, Yuanqing will listen to the opinions of all parties. When making strategic decisions, Wang Yuanqing will not take a position lightly. After making a strategic decision, Wonqing will not change easily.

Li Cunxun also knew Wang Yuanqing's character very well, so he also picked up the teacup and drank tea to quench his thirst.

"You're right, a demon that no one can control with nuclear weapons, it's better to keep it in a cage." Wang Yuanqing said as he picked up the second cigarette. "The problem now is that Japan has de facto carried out a nuclear strike on our country, and we have to think about the consequences of this. Xiao Ye began to mention public opinion, as well as developed information, we can't block the news, and the news that Japan has launched a strategic ballistic missile carrying it to our country will soon be announced to the public. In this context, we must consider the impact of public opinion. ”

"What does Yuan mean that the people will support a nuclear strike on Japan?"

Wang Yuanqing Ye Zhisheng nodded and said, "This is exactly what I'm worried about. Popular support is the key motivation for us to continue the war.

Without popular support, we cannot win the final victory. What should we do in the face of public opinion? To fight, or not to fight? ”

"It is impossible for the people to know so much, and therefore they cannot completely follow the will of the people."

Wang Yuanqing smiled faintly, ignored Ye Zhisheng, and looked at Li Cunxun.

"Maybe there's another solution." Li Cunxun put down the teacup and said, "First of all, we must do a good job in propaganda work, guide public opinion through propaganda, and let public opinion get a chance to vent." Secondly, we must take appropriate action to demonstrate our determination to fight back against any provocation. ”

Ye Zhisheng frowned, and secretly admired Li Cunxun in his heart.

"What's the solution?"

Faced with the question of the Führer, Li Cunxun did not rush to speak, and Ye Zhisheng also remained silent.

At this time, Jiao Lushan came to the room. "The Führer, having just received information from the Chief of the General Staff, has successfully intercepted all ballistic missiles launched by Japan. In addition, the Chief of the General Staff asked whether there would be an immediate strategic counterattack against Japan. ”

Wang Yuanqing shook his head with a smile and said, "How is it, this is public opinion!" ”

Li Cunxun and Ye Zhisheng were stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

"Tell Xiang Linghui that the state of strategic alert should be lifted immediately, and the strategic defense forces should continue to carry out combat readiness patrol tasks, and they should not be taken lightly." Wang Yuanqing glanced at Jiao Shan, "In addition, let Xiang Linghui come over immediately, just say that we are discussing a strategic counterattack, and I want to listen to his opinion." ”

Jiao Lushan nodded and turned to leave.

"Don't go, let's talk about it later."

Li Cunxun and Ye Zhisheng had no intention of leaving, because they both knew that Xiang Linghui would definitely advocate a strategic counterattack! To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to idian, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!
