The large-scale manufacture of 200-million-ton super-nuclear warheads, as well as the development of 2-billion-ton nuclear warheads, are part of the "Operation Courage" defense project.

Launched two years ago, this project is one of the first and most important to date.

Over the past two years, one-third of the funds spent by the 10 member states on the Planetary Defense Council have been spent on the "Operation Courage" defense project.

Nuclear weapons remain the most powerful weapon for humanity.

Even in the eyes of extraterrestrial civilizations, nuclear weapons are like stone axes in the hands of primitive people, but for human beings, under the restrictions of the ceiling of technology, nuclear weapons are still a magic weapon.

The problem is that building and using a super-nuclear warhead is not an easy task.

"General Sergeyev is right, but we also have to face reality." Stark sighed, although he didn't want to argue with Sergeyev at this time, but the topic had been picked out, and he had to take a stand. "In order to create a thousand super-nuclear warheads, we used up all weapons-grade nuclear materials. Even if it is produced at full capacity, a maximum of 100 super-nuclear warheads will be produced in a month. This requires the participation of all States, takes up a lot of social resources, and has a very negative impact on secrecy. You all know that if the news spreads, the resulting global upheaval will be no worse than an asteroid hitting the Earth. ”

"That's better than sitting still."

"The creation of more super-nuclear warheads means the need to build more delivery vehicles, and the cost of building them is a hundred times that of super-nuclear warheads."

"If necessary, martial law can be imposed immediately."

Stark smiled bitterly and said: "Not all countries are Russia, and soldiers are also people, and everyone is equal in the face of destruction." Military control will only lead to more serious social unrest, and even lead to ****, so that all our efforts will be in vain. ”

Sergeyev wanted to say something, but Admiral Takeuchi of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces spoke. "It's difficult, but we only have one chance. Even if these efforts can only make human civilization survive for one more day, we must strive to live one more day. For the sake of the common future of human civilization, Japan is willing to undertake more obligations, including investing more funds and undertaking more space launch missions. ”

Takeuchi opened his mouth, and both Yang Fanglie and Sergeyev raised their vigilance.

"It's just that I have a small request. That is, the nuclear warheads carried by delivery vehicles manufactured in our country have to be assembled and produced in our country. Our country does not need technical assistance, nor does it need material assistance, and is willing to bear all the expenses and burdens arising therefrom. ”

Before Takeuchi's words were finished, Yang Fanglie's face was clouded. "General Takeuchi, your appetite is a little too big."

"It is our common duty to defend human civilization, is it wrong that Japan is willing to take on more obligations?"

"Japan can contribute in other ways, such as providing funding, such as increasing space launch missions, such as sharing more scientific research results!"

"The Yamato nation is part of human civilization and has the right to control its own destiny."

Yang Fanglie let out a long breath and said: "My position is the same as two years ago, if Japan uses this to possess nuclear weapons, China will withdraw from the Planetary Defense Council." ”

"The Chinese are human beings, so are the Japanese not human beings and have not defended their rights!?" Takeuchi Hajto is also on fire.

Yang Fanglie didn't fight back, but his expression obviously didn't treat the Japanese as human beings.

"Let's face it, two." Stark sighed. The Joint Chiefs of the General Staff was sanctimonious, he and Sergeyev were in a-for-tat confrontation, Yang Fanglie always regarded Takeuchi as an enemy, and even several other chiefs of the General Staff were also playing their own small calculations. "The reality is that we need more super-warheads, we need more delivery vehicles, but the capacity of the five nuclear powers to produce nuclear materials has reached its limit, and we still have tens of thousands of tons of low-concentration nuclear materials that we have not used. If you don't make adjustments, I'm afraid you'll never need it. ”

"Even so, the other players must be strictly supervised and only responsible for the production of nuclear materials, and the production and assembly of super-nuclear warheads must be carried out in the five nuclear powers." Sergeyev proposed an intermediate plan to reconcile Yang Fanglie and Takeuchi. "The supervisory body is composed of experts sent by the five nuclear bomb states, and the participating countries must give full facilitation and there must be no restrictions on the activities of the supervisory personnel."

Yang Fanglie felt that this was still not appropriate, and Takeuchi was not very satisfied.

"If humanity has a future, we must stop squabbling and act now." Stark realized that he had to work with Sergeyev. "I support General Sergeyev's proposal, and if you still have doubts, raise them now, and then start voting."

Unlike the Scientific Advisory Board, at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, only 20 percent of the vote is required to veto any proposal. This is the result of the early days of the Planetary Defense Council, when China and Russia used withdrawal as a threat to force the United States to make concessions.

This setup allows China and Russia to join forces to veto any proposal.

"I have a request." Yang Fanglie realized that the overall situation had been decided. "If Japan is involved in the production of nuclear materials, it must disclose the stocks of nuclear materials. Only in this way can Japan be ensured that all weapons-grade nuclear materials produced will be used to make super-nuclear warheads to defend the planet. ”

"Impossible!" Takeuchi was a little flustered.

"General Takeuchi, is Japan planning to use the weapons-grade nuclear materials it produces for other purposes, or is Japan already secretly producing weapons-grade nuclear materials?"

"No, of course not, we don't have either, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

Takeuchi was a thief and couldn't answer.

"So decide. Not only Japan, but also Germany, Israel, Australia and Canada are required to disclose their stockpiles before participating in the production of nuclear materials. ”

Stark spoke, and Takeuchi didn't say anything more, but was very dissatisfied with the result.

"Nothing else? Well, let's vote. ”

Yang Fanglie voted in favor, and because of pressure from Stark, Takeuchi also voted in favor, and the other eight chiefs of the general staff all voted in favor.

After discussing the follow-up arrangements, the meeting of the Chiefs of General Staff was declared.

Yang Fanglie did not turn off the video conference equipment, and asked the confidential secretary Wei Longzheng to transfer to the internal line, and on the other end was Zhang Xiaogang, who was observing the whole meeting.

"Mr. Yang, you are too direct." Zhang Xiaogang lit a cigarette. He was not surprised by this kind of scene for a long time.

"Little Japan's wolf ambitions, Takeuchi has always wanted to get the opportunity to develop, produce and possess nuclear weapons through the Planetary Defense Council."

"Japan has had it for a long time."

"There is no world of difference between privately owning and openly becoming a nuclear state." Yang Fanglie also lit a cigarette. "If we can survive this catastrophe, a nuclear-armed Japan is the greatest threat to our country. Dogs can't change their nature of eating, and I will never joke with the future of the country and the nation. ”

"I will put the best people on board with the watchdog."

"It's not enough."

Zhang Xiaogang frowned, don't look at Yang Fanglie with a friendly face, in his bones, he is an out-and-out iron-blooded soldier.

"Did you think that maybe in a year, nuclear weapons would be sent to museums?"

"The premise is that we can survive until a year later, and in the battle against the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations, we can obtain the advanced technology of extraterrestrial civilizations."

"What's the key?"

"Doomsday Troop."

"Little Japan is very ambitious, and it must be taught a lesson, so that it will not gain more than it loses." Yang Fanglie extinguished the cigarette, "You go and tell Chu Tianjiang that if he can get Little Japan out, he is a national hero, and I will hang medals and medals on his chest and give him whatever he wants." ”

"Mr. Yang, this is too cheesy, isn't it?"

"Cheesy?"

"A soldier like Chu Tianjiang doesn't care about anything outside his body, and he has enough medals and medals."

"What do you think should be given to him?"

"No, one sentence is enough."

"What do you mean?"

"Being recognized and recognized can make him feel great satisfaction, and achieving success is the biggest motivation." Zhang Xiaogang lit another cigarette and said with a smile, "Of course, taking care of Wu Guoxiong is also crucial. This guy is very emotional, and he can give everything for the sake of brotherhood. If you can, find him another wife, it will be perfect. Men have the desire to start a family. ”

"Get him a wife!?" Yang Fanglie looked surprised.

"Mr. Yang, I know him better than you. Don't look at this guy who usually goes alone, after Wu Haiyuan's sacrifice, his heart is very empty, otherwise he wouldn't take Wu Guoxiong so seriously. At this time, a woman who understands him is needed to fill the void in his heart. ”

"Damn, I'm not an old man." Yang Fanglie was a little speechless.

"You're not, find someone who has the ability to do this."

"Looking for a matchmaking agency?"

"Come on, the marriage agency is full of vulgar fans, I'm afraid I won't be able to get into his eyes."

"Who are you going to go to?"

"Old Yuan."

"What?"

"After enlisting in the army, this guy lived alone for more than ten years, especially in the nine years after joining the Tiger Brigade, and he did not have a long-term relationship with the opposite sex at all. If he can find a person of the opposite sex who is similar to his experience and can resonate, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"You mean, agents of military intelligence?"

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "Xiao Fangfang, who was sent to take care of Wu Guoxiong, is very suitable. It's just that the period between men and women is very delicate, and feelings are not something you have when you give orders. Bringing the two together will only have bad consequences. This matter can't be rushed, we have to let Lao Yuan come forward and do the woman's ideological work first. The woman took the initiative, even if Chu Tianjiang was a tough guy with iron, it would slowly melt. As the saying goes, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass. For a big man like Chu Tianjiang, the most difficult thing to deal with is a woman who is as tender as water. ”

"You're a human being."

"Is this complimenting me, or is this belittling me?" Zhang Xiaogang said with a smile, "Besides, if I weren't a human spirit, you wouldn't have let me be a commissioner back then." ”

"You're not only a human being, you're also a scumbag." Yang Fanglie laughed and said, "I will talk to Yuan Dezhi about this matter, and you should also remind Chu Tianjiang of this." ”

"No problem."

"Alright, you go get busy, I have one more meeting."

By this time, it was already getting dark.

When Zhang Xiaogang arrived at the Doomsday Force training camp, the morning assessment had already begun. Because he won the first place in the first round of assessment, Chu Tianjiang was the last to appear. In order not to affect the assessment results, Zhang Xiaogang decided to wait and go to Chu Tianjiang after the assessment.

In the training camp, 10 special forces soldiers fought openly and secretly, and the gunfire came and went, and the scene was very lively.
