When Liu Wei went to Las Vegas to "light the fire", Li Tingxuan was hurrying in the no-man's land of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After making the strategic decision to retaliate against the United States, Xing Yuanzhao granted Li Tingxuan the privilege of calling on all domestic resources as needed. It's just that in terms of funds, Xing Yuanzhao can't help.

Although the Military Intelligence Bureau has a large secret budget every year, which is never disclosed to the public, and is all included in the national defense budget, this budget is not secret to the central decision-making level, and it is necessary to submit a budget report for the next fiscal year in the last month of each fiscal year as usual.

Even if Xing Yuanzhao can find a way to provide more budget to the Military Intelligence Bureau, he will have to wait until the next fiscal year.

For this reason, Li Tingxuan had to save money.

Throwing the most difficult task to Liu Wei is also to save money. asked Liu Wei to sell drugs in the United States, and even hoped that Liu Wei would be self-sufficient and not reach out to the Military Intelligence Bureau to ask for money.

Even so, there is a large funding gap.

The main reason is that the construction of the genetic analysis base and the purchase of related equipment are particularly huge, and there is no reliable source of funds.

For the sake of insurance, Li Tingxuan decided to set up this base, which has the highest level of secrecy, in a no-man's land in northern Tibet.

In northern Tibet, the Kunlun Mountains block the southward flow from the north, and the Himalayas in the south block the northward flow from the south, forming a "cold zone" with an area of nearly 1 million square kilometers. It's the coldest place in the world outside of Antarctica. Historically, the lowest temperature has been recorded at minus sixty-five degrees Celsius!

The severe cold combined with the highland environment makes it a no-go zone for humans.

Even Tibetans, who have long been accustomed to the highland environment, find it difficult to survive here. The only wildlife that lives in this area is brown bears.

Of course, this is not an absolute no-man's land.

More than forty years ago, the Military Intelligence Bureau set up a secret base here. At that time, it was used to hold spies from other countries, but later the international environment improved, and the base was abandoned.

A month ago, Li Tingxuan came once, and the engineering team was doing a comprehensive survey.

Just a month later, the main facilities of the base have been repaired, and the engineering team is expanding the underground complex in preparation for later construction.

The progress of the project is not fast, and by the standards of the Military Intelligence Directorate, it is still very slow.

The main reason is that the transportation is inconvenient, and it is impossible to transport construction materials and engineering equipment by land, so it can only be airdropped.

When Li Tingxuan arrived, a specially modified Y-8 transport plane flew by at a low altitude and airdropped about 20 tons of construction materials near the base.

Finding the person in charge of the construction site, Li Tingxuan inquired about the situation.

In addition to inconvenient transportation, the poor living and working environment is also the main reason for the slow progress of the project. In the past month, there were 12 days when the outdoor temperature was below minus 20 degrees Celsius, resulting in a lot of construction equipment being unusable and the safety of construction workers not being guaranteed, so work had to be stopped.

In order to complete the project before the arrival of autumn, more personnel and more transport planes must be dispatched.

The slow progress of the project is not a major problem.

When building this base, Li Tingxuan's first thought was the power problem. Drawing electricity from other regions is obviously not realistic, and a power station must be built.

The original proposal was to build wind power plants, and there is no shortage of wind energy on the Tibetan Plateau. It's just that the large equipment of the wind power station cannot be airdropped, and the generators standing on the ground are easily detected by reconnaissance satellites, and the cold climate has to be considered for up to eight months a year.

Then I thought of a geothermal power station, and there are several hot springs near the base, and there must be abundant geothermal resources underneath. The problem is also prominent, that is, the construction of a geothermal power station completely underground will inevitably increase the amount of work, and the problem of water source will have to be solved, and the transportation of power generation equipment will be troublesome.

Thermal power stations must be built above ground, which has long been out of the question.

There is no river nearby, and it is impossible to consider a hydroelectric power station.

The rest, there are only nuclear power plants!

A large-scale civilian nuclear power plant is certainly impossible, and it is necessary to build a compact nuclear power plant with an output of twenty megawatts on the basis of a nuclear reactor on a submarine.

The total mass of the nuclear reactor on the latest 095-class attack nuclear submarine is less than 600 tons, and the total mass of the core components is only 250 tons, excluding the parts that shield from radiation. Although some critical equipment cannot be airdropped, it can be transported by large construction vehicles. The main thing is that the reactor can be built entirely underground, and the light water needed to generate electricity can be taken from underground and recycled.

With the Führer's edict, Li Tingxuan has already got Wang Xueming to build one more reactor in the name of scientific research.

Other things have been arranged, just wait for the base to be completed.

After going around the base, and when he got back to the ground, the satellite phone rang.

It was a call from the bureau telling him to go back as soon as possible and attend an emergency meeting in the evening.

Li Tingxuan didn't delay any longer and left the base with his assistant.

During this period, there were emergency meetings almost every day, and each time Li Tingxuan and other intelligence agency leaders attended, and the discussion was almost the same: the general election.

Because he was busy dealing with the affairs of the base, Li Tingxuan left everything else behind.

When he received the phone call, he remembered that the results of this general election would be announced today.

Judging from the votes counted a few days ago, the victory of the New People's Party in the general election is a foregone conclusion, and the era of coalition government formation, which has lasted for more than 20 years, is coming to an end, and the history of the new party will change.

The victory of the New People's Party did not surprise Li Tingxuan.

Kojiro Ikawa was a very eloquent politician, ambitious and discerning, capturing the anger and discontent of the electorate that had accumulated in the economic recession that lasted for nearly three decades, and taking full advantage of the rising nationalist sentiment to shout the slogan of "national revitalization" and surely win the election.

The key is how big this guy will take after he lives in the Prime Minister's Office.

Li Tingxuan did not hold out much hope, and neither did the heads of other intelligence agencies.

Among the slogans of "national rejuvenation" put forward by Ikawa Kojiro, the first is to revitalize the industrial industry, and the second is to revitalize the military strength of the company.

The Ministry of Defense has been renamed the Ministry of National Defense, and the development of armaments has become a common aspiration.

While left-wing pacifists strongly opposed Ikawa Kojiro's armament plan and voted for the LDP in the general election, the right-wing and centrists voted almost exclusively for the NDP.

For the vast majority of their voters, the revitalization of armaments is an effective way to reduce unemployment.

In times of severe economic downturn, voters will certainly think about finding a suitable job first, and then other issues.

It is said that if we want to revitalize our armaments, the neighboring countries will certainly be restless, and even the United States has heightened its vigilance.

Before the election began, the US Secretary of State mentioned at the high-level meeting of the "Economic and Social Organization for Asia-Pacific" that he hoped that he would not deviate from the postwar line of peace and development.

This warning is not strong, but it fully reflects the concerns of the United States.

Don't forget, after the Second Reading War, only Sakaben attacked the continental United States.

Compared with the United States, neighboring countries, especially the mainland and South Korea, have reacted more strongly.

After Ikawa Kojiro announced his candidacy, the mainland and South Korean authorities announced one after another that they would tentatively cancel the summit meeting of the "China, the Republic of Korea" to be held in Japan. Subsequently, when Xing Yuanzhao attended the "ASEAN 10 plus 3" meeting, he clearly expressed his deep concern about the current situation to the leaders of ASEAN countries. At a meeting with the US secretary of state attending a high-level meeting of the "Asia-Pacific Economic and Peace Organization," the ROK president said that if the ROK's interests and security are threatened, the ROK will consider enhancing its status and role in the US-ROK military alliance.

It can be seen that the current general election has indeed affected the fundamental interests of many countries.

Back in the capital, Li Tingxuan hurried to attend an emergency meeting.

As he expected, Ikawa Kojiro's New People's Party won the general election and will form a separate government, and the new cabinet will take office within a week.

As always, it was discussed for several hours and still no final conclusions were reached.

Although the senior leaders unanimously believe that the New People's Party-led Yuben is a huge potential threat, they are still reluctant to respond to it, and more than half of the leaders believe that tough measures should not be taken to worsen bilateral relations and thus create an opportunity for the United States to win over Yuben.

There is nothing wrong with this view, but there is a problem with the way and the way.

At least in Li Tingxuan's view, the Huairou policy has no meaning, as long as he takes the road of militarism, the mainland will be seriously threatened.

After the meeting, Li Tingxuan reported to Xing Yuanzhao on the construction of the base.

When he came out, he found that Wang Xueming was waiting for him outside.

"Lao Wang, is there something wrong?"

"I have already arranged what you mentioned last time, and within three months, the nuclear reactor will be ready for use." Wang Xueming invited Li Tingxuan to get into the car. "For this matter, I broke my mouth with the commander of the navy, and I almost didn't threaten him with a gun, otherwise it would have to drag on for several months."

Li Tingxuan smiled and said, "Lao Wang, if you have something to say, just say it directly." ”

"You kid just like to go straight, I won't go around in circles with you, there's something, you have to do a favor."

"What's the matter?"

"The U.S. Congress has approved the export contract for the F-22J, and the first batch of fighter jets will be delivered in the near future, so you have to help me figure out the specific surnames of these fighters."

"How?" Li Tingxuan was stunned for a moment and said, "You won't let me help you steal a fighter jet, right?" ”

"Of course not, you just need to figure out the difference between the F-22J and the F-22A, what the Yankees have done on it, and what electronic equipment the little devils have added."

"It's not easy, it's very troublesome, and it's ...... in the short term"

"Didn't you catch a big fish?" Wang Xueming glanced at Li Tingxuan and said, "The first batch of pilots of the little devils have gone to the United States and are being trained. According to the information we have, these fighters will fly directly back to Japan, stopping only in Hawaii and Guam. ”

"Is the information accurate?"

"Very accurate, but it has to be discreet."

Li Tingxuan glanced at Wang Xueming.

"As you can see, there are very big differences of opinion at the top level on the policy, and if you get into trouble at this time, no one will be able to get out of the way."

"So you let me do it, and be the shopkeeper myself?"

"You're the best at this kind of thing, aren't you?"

Li Tingxuan smiled bitterly, but he did owe Wang Xueming a great favor, and he had to agree if he didn't want to.
