Chapter 670: A Straw Four
Small, typical take advantage of the advantage and sell well, obviously want the Golden Triangle Federation to bear the maintenance and maintenance costs of some of your Russian nuclear weapons, reduce the pressure of your own military spending, and find such an excuse in a high-sounding manner, you and I are a philanthropist?
Hearing Wu Chen's statement, the high-level officials suddenly remembered His Excellency the President's comment on this matter just now, and what he said was not wrong at all, the mercenary corps was unwilling to provoke the US government, let alone hand over the control of strategic weapons to Russia, so it was better not to have it!
"Teacher, in fact, this proposal is not what I meant, Russia's military spending is becoming more and more difficult, and it has to update its weapons and equipment, and it has to maintain a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons, tens of billions of dollars are simply not enough, and the military generals are also forced to have no way out, so there is such a way, please understand." Park Kim said very sincerely.
Wu Chen clearly rejected the Russian military's suggestion at the banquet, and the scene became a little embarrassing, and the calculation in his stomach was pierced, and the military high-level officials were naturally a little embarrassed.
Wu Chen was the only man who helped Russia avoid the crisis, and he did so without taking into account his feelings. Transfer your pressure to the mercenary corps, don't be so shameless?
After the banquet, Wu Chen came to the room prepared for him to rest, and Park Jin seized the time to hold a meeting with the high-level leaders of the military and political circles, and then the two had the opportunity to meet in private. Park Kim didn't want to destroy the relationship between the two, nor did he want to destroy the relationship between the Golden Triangle Federation and Russia, so he told the truth as soon as he opened his mouth.
"The greatest significance of nuclear weapons lies in checks and balances, with this kind of destructive weapon, the probability of another world war is negligible, no one dares to provoke a major war of this scale, at most it is a local war, and the practicality of nuclear weapons is not as important as conventional weapons and equipment. No matter which country is the first to use nuclear weapons, it will inevitably be attacked by other nuclear powers, and no one can allow the existence of a country that threatens the survival of mankind. ”
"I have always believed that nuclear weapons are not in quantity but in quality, and for the United States and Russia, five or six hundred ICBMs and three or four hundred tactical nuclear missiles are enough, and there is no point in having more. In other words, if you can scare the other person, you will achieve your goal. ”
"Your Excellency the President, you can try to do this work, as long as Russia agrees to reduce the number of nuclear weapons arsenal, there is no reason for the US government not to agree, and only Russia can engage in nuclear confrontation with them, probably reduced to about 2,000 pieces, this will be a more reasonable number, if the United States and Russia reach an agreement, you will go down in history." Wu Chen said.
From my own memory, I can search for this information, and since the United States and Russia were in a state of combat readiness in the later period, that is, this number, since we have come to this era, we must do something in general, and reducing the number of nuclear weapons held by the United States and Russia is a very meaningful thing.
There are technology and manufacturing equipment and talents, even if the quantity is temporarily reduced, and it can be rebuilt if necessary, but according to Wu Chen's judgment, as long as the number is reduced, it is impossible to restore the previous state, and the parliamentarians will not agree, and the situation of confrontation with nuclear weapons is almost non-existent.
"I and all the top leaders actually know that Russia is indeed a waste of resources by maintaining so many nuclear weapons, just a last resort to protect itself in order to deal with the threat of the United States, a superpower. I will try to communicate with the U.S. government to massively reduce the number of nuclear weapons, which is good for both the U.S. and Russia. ”
"Just now the leadership of the government and the military communicated, with the Borean God ballistic missile nuclear submarine and the Yasen-class attack nuclear submarine in a large number of service, we have decided to retire all the types of nuclear submarines of the former Soviet Union, the Russian government has sold and donated one hundred and ten nuclear submarines to the mercenary corps, you have sold sixty-one, and forty-nine are retained, and we still have more than two hundred nuclear submarines to deal with."
"We have decided to transfer to the mercenary corps five of the last stage of the Delta-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines, six Charlie-class cruise missile II nuclear submarines, and twenty Yankee-class strategic missile nuclear submarines, one cruise missile nuclear submarine and three attack nuclear submarines, all of which have a relatively short service life and have the possibility of transformation, and I do not want to see these precious nuclear submarines become scrap metal from now on."
"The remaining more than 100 nuclear submarines and conventionally powered submarines will all be dismantled within three years, and all the fuel in the nuclear reactors will be taken out and sent to the mercenary corps. Park Kim felt very uncomfortable.
He felt that his heart was dripping blood, these nuclear submarines were the brainchild of the former Soviet Union that cost countless manpower and material resources, and they were also the most valuable wealth, and he personally ordered all the nuclear submarines to be scrapped and dismantled, of course, very sad.
"Your Excellency the President, I know that you have good intentions, and you are reluctant to scrap these nuclear submarines from now on, but you should also know that the mercenary corps is building its own new nuclear submarines, using advanced technology transferred by Russia, and I am afraid that they will not have the energy to take care of these veterans."
"If it takes too long, the sturdiness of the hull will be affected, it will need to be extended, the nuclear reactor will have to be overhauled every three to five years, the mercenary corps will have to give priority to the new type of nuclear submarine, which is also a trouble." Wu Chen shook his head and said, he didn't want to accept these retired old nuclear submarines.
The mercenaries had received a staggering amount of enriched uranium, which would last for a hundred years, but most of it was used by the bastard Marcus to build nuclear missiles. At present, more than 100 nuclear submarines of the mercenary corps, dozens of newly built nuclear-powered capital ships, and huge nuclear power plant projects all need nuclear fuel as a backing, and Wu Chen also feels a headache about this.
The United Nations General Assembly and the U.S. government have very strict supervision over nuclear power plants in various countries, especially the nuclear power units of heavy water reactors, if it were not for the support of Russia in recent years, most of the nuclear power equipment of the mercenary corps would have to lie down, and they would have to find ways to refine nuclear fuel, which is another big investment!
"You don't need to worry about this, Russia will transfer half of the stockpile of highly enriched uranium to the mercenary corps as a reserve, after dilution, 300 tons of enriched uranium can provide the Golden Triangle Federation for a hundred years, I only charge 10 million US dollars per ton, which is 60 percent cheaper than the United States. At the same time, the Russian government will also provide enough nuclear fuel rods to the mercenaries every year, which is not to be considered. Park Kim said with a smile.
