At this time, Brother Hu's secretary came in from outside with a quick face, and nervously handed Brother Hu a note, seeing the content of this note, Brother Hu's face suddenly changed!

Brother Hu's face changed, and the bigwigs who attended and participated in the meeting also became nervous: Hell, what happened?

"Ladies and gentlemen," Brother Hu took a deep breath and raised the piece of paper in his hand with a serious face, "According to the efforts of our comrades in the intelligence system, they have obtained the next action plan of the United States on the battlefield in Iraq. ”

What the?! We got the next plan of action for the US military on the battlefield in Iraq?!

Hearing Brother Hu's words, everyone was stunned, and everyone's first subconscious reaction was: How is this possible?!

But then, the idea that this might not be possible was thrown out of the way and replaced by another very serious question: well, we can know the next plan of action of the Americans on the battlefield in Iraq...... This may sound outrageous, but if we can do it at any cost, it is not impossible. The question is, what exactly is this next step of action designated by the Americans? Unexpectedly, Brother Hu's face suddenly became so heavy when he saw this information?

Brother Hu's next words helped everyone solve the doubts in their hearts.

"Because of the disadvantages on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, the Bush administration was tossed by the wave of anti-war protests at home, and in order to quickly resolve the troubles and end this war that made Americans lose face, the U.S. military secretly formulated a plan of action, and has obtained the president's consent, the U.S. government will be in a senior position within the Iraqi government." Under the guidance of the fighters for democracy, as soon as the specific address of Saddam's underground fortress project was determined, he used tactical nuclear weapons to completely eliminate Saddam! ”

What the? After a long unresolved war in Iraq, the Americans actually planned to use nuclear weapons to solve the problem? Everyone who heard the news was stunned!

Yes, the Americans pursued a preemptive nuclear strike strategy, and did not limit whether their own use of nuclear weapons came after the adversary used nuclear weapons first, but decided whether to use nuclear weapons, or even use nuclear weapons to carry out a preemptive strike, according to the situation of the war and battlefield at that time.

But the question is that since the birth of nuclear weapons, there have only been two actual combat experiences, and they were both dropped by the Americans, and these two times have made the world reach the level of "smelling nuclear discoloration", and now, are the Americans going to use nuclear weapons again? Does this signal mean ......

From the perspective of strategic flexibility alone, it is true that the Americans' nuclear weapons use strategy is much more flexible than the Republic's nuclear weapons strategy, although this nuclear weapons strategy carries a clear shadow of American hegemony...... I've been fighting with you for a long time? Forget it, Lao Tzu won't rub shoulders with you, a nuclear stick will be knocked down, are you convinced?

The number of countries with nuclear weapons in the world is very limited, and except for the United States and Russia, the number of nuclear warheads in other countries is very scarce, so naturally, the nuclear threat of the Americans is very effective, and those countries that do not have nuclear weapons, no one wants the nuclear stick of the Americans to fall on their heads, and those countries with nuclear weapons are either traditional allies of the Americans, or there is no way to compare the number of nuclear weapons with the Americans...... The only country that can compare the number of nuclear weapons with the Americans is still being tossed half-dead by the Americans.

Although the intelligence also said that the use of nuclear weapons to solve Saddam Hussein was not the first option, after all, the use of nuclear weapons was also included in the US military's consideration list, once the Americans decided that the use of nuclear weapons was the best option...... Then the problem is big, and the impact of the matter is so great that I am afraid that it will not be much more than the collapse of the Soviet Union back then.

Some people even began to complain about Saddam Hussein in their hearts: What are you tossing, can't you surrender to the Americans earlier, what good do you do with such a hard toss? Look, now it's okay, the Americans are going to play with you, right?

Saddam's daily hiding place and whereabouts have always been Iraq's highest secret, and if the Iraqi authorities obtained the data given by the presidential office, it can be determined that Saddam Hussein has more than 30 underground fortresses throughout Iraq, all of which are built at a depth of less than 20 meters underground, and the outer layer of the fortress is protected by special reinforced concrete up to 3 meters thick, which is enough to resist the attack of nuclear weapons. …,

There is also an exaggerated statement, saying that Saddam not only built a large number of underground fortresses throughout Iraq, but also secretly built an underground railway project, and connected these underground fortresses together through the railway, and when the situation was critical, Saddam Hussein could maneuver underground through a low-noise electric locomotive customized from Switzerland, unless Saddam Hussein took the initiative to tell the Americans his total, even the most advanced US military reconnaissance satellite could not find Saddam's whereabouts...... At that time, many people thought it was ridiculous, but as the Iraq war progressed, everyone gradually began to feel that this matter began to seem less outrageous.

Brother Hu could know the thoughts of the few people here who usually talked about "moderation" and were actually the representatives of the surrender faction, but at this moment, Brother Hu didn't have the heart to care about what they were thinking, but asked the elder of the Ministry of Defense with a solemn face, "Lao Cao, we are not familiar with the military aspect, this is your forte...... What type of nuclear weapons do you think the Americans would choose if they really finally decided to launch a nuclear strike on Iran's underground nuclear facilities? ”

"I think that if the Americans really finally decide to carry out a nuclear strike on Iran's underground nuclear facilities to end this war that has left them with no face, and if they can obtain accurate information on Saddam's whereabouts and residence, the B61-11 ground-penetrating nuclear bomb currently in service by the US military will become the best choice." ”

"B61-11 ground-penetrating nuclear bomb?" Brother Hu muttered the number of this nuclear bomb with a special number, and turned his head to look at the elder of the Ministry of Defense, "Lao Cao, tell us, how about the ability of this B61-11 ground-drilling nuclear bomb?" ”

"Very powerful!" Minister Cao nodded, although his face was solemn, but he still couldn't help but show a trace of admiration, "The B61-11 ground-penetrating nuclear bomb is a nuclear bomb that weighs about the same as a 500-kilogram aerial bomb, weighs about 545 kilograms, is 3.7 meters long, has a diameter of about 0.34 meters of the body and a diameter of about 0.57 meters of the tail of the bullet. The nuclear munition is housed in a steel cone-shaped, hard depleted uranium warhead that, when dropped at high altitudes, is capable of penetrating the solid rock and concrete covered by the underground fortifications by the force of gravity...... If it's the kind of soil in Iraq, it's almost 25 to 30 meters underground, and then the nuclear munitions are detonated. ”

The B61-11 ground-penetrating nuclear bomb is a nuclear weapon developed by the United States after the Cold War, and it is the first nuclear munition developed by computer simulation technology without conducting a nuclear test. The development of the latest American nuclear bomb began in July 1993.

At that time, the main ground-penetrating nuclear bomb in the United States was the B-53 nuclear bomb developed and manufactured during the Cold War era, with an explosive yield of 9 million tons, which was nearly 600 times more powerful than the "little fat man" used by the United States during the bombing of Nagasaki! (Note: The yield of the little fat man is 20,000 tons of TNT equivalent, but in nuclear weapons, the multiple of the yield is not equal to the multiple of the explosive power, and there is a slight difference between the two) can hit targets buried 250 meters underground, and the original goal of this B-53 ground-penetrating nuclear bomb is to ensure that the US nuclear weapons can successfully hit and destroy the underground nuclear command post of the former Soviet Union and the national leadership nuclear protection center in the event of a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union.

However, the nuclear bomb has some defects: First, it is so large that it can only be dropped by the B-52 strategic long-range bomber and cannot be mounted on the stealth bombing platform newly developed by the United States, while the clumsy fuselage and huge radar reflection signal of the B-52 strategic long-range bomber are almost tantamount to telling the Iraqis, who have quite good air defense forces, that if the "grandfather-class" air strategic strike force of the US Air Force is dispatched, it is almost tantamount to telling the Iraqis, who have quite good air defense forces, look, there is a big turkey flying in the sky, come and fight the turkey;

Second, the collateral damage caused by a nuclear bomb attack is too large, which may cause a large number of civilian casualties. Because of these shortcomings, after the Cold War, the United States decided to develop a low-yield small ground-penetrating nuclear bomb on the basis of the B61-7 ordinary nuclear bomb.

After about five years of development and refitting, and after dozens of simulated nuclear explosion tests and 25 drop tests, the B61-11 ground-penetrating nuclear bomb was assigned to the 509th Bomber Wing at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri in November 1997.

Although in the preliminary tests, the US military used the B-2 stealth long-range strategic bomber, the B-52 long-range strategic bomber, the B-B-1B variable-sweep wing long-range strategic bomber, and the F-16 fighter to throw them, but in the end it was believed that the B-2 stealth bomber was most suitable for carrying the B61-11 ground-penetrating nuclear bomb, so this type of ammunition became the B-2 combat weapon.

It's just that as far as the Americans are concerned, if they really carry out a nuclear bombing mission, they will have to choose the B-2 stealth long-range strategic bomber, the B-52 long-range strategic bomber, and the B-B-1B variable-sweep wing long-range strategic bomber to carry out the mission...... At the mention of the B-2 stealth strategic long-range bomber, the Americans' hearts bleed.

Speaking of which, Uncle Sa should really thank Zhang Lan.
