Chapter 326: Another Storm

Regarding Deng Feng's warning, Warpinovsky and Chiang Ching-kuo were very calm.

Chiang Ching-kuo said to Deng Feng, the secretary of the secret service committee who led the party, government, and military leaders in the entire Far East: "You can rest assured about this. My old man has also repeatedly told me that [***] governing the country has its own merits, the first point is that honesty must grasp itself well at this point, prevent slightest, and not be sloppy. In addition, the organization and discipline within the political axe are strict and strict, so special attention should be paid to the concept of organization and discipline in the work. Work procedures should be emphasized; Government affairs must be open and transparent. So I went back to work, confident that I would definitely stand up to organizational scrutiny at this point. ”

Deng Feng nodded, and then asked with concern: "Your old man, are you okay?" ”

"Okay! I've never been happier than I am now. Chiang Ching-kuo replied, "I called him just now, and he asked you hello!" ”

"Thank you to him for saying hello to him." Deng Feng then asked Hua Pinovsky: "Lao Hua, do you have any difficulties?" ”

"No, without any difficulty. Everything is fine at home, the children are in Hangzhou, the New Year, my wife is not with me, and I went back to Hangzhou to reunite with the children, I had to come to you with Jingguo for the New Year. In terms of work, he cooperated with Anying and Jingguo very well. ”

"That's fine." Deng Feng finally said: "Baikal Province is a new district, and it has a border with the Soviet Union several thousand kilometers long to the north, and the West Siberian Special District to the west. You must do a good job of unity and discuss more things. It is necessary to do a good job in the self-building of the leading bodies. In particular, it is necessary to do a good job in improving the party's This question should not stop at words, but should be implemented and real. You should first examine yourself, and you must not tolerate the phenomenon of corruption and bribery, no matter who it is and who is involved, you must investigate it to the end. Kill what should be killed, and judge what should be sentenced. In particular, there is no mercy for those who have high status, great power, and strong influence. Killing these people will not cause the slightest loss to the country's socialist revolution and socialist construction, and there has always been no shortage of officials in China. We must not allow this kind of [***] momentum to breed and spread here, if we allow the wind to spread, it will soon form a prairie fire, and all the cadres will become corrupt officials and corrupt officials, then the country will be doomed. In addition, for those who intercede, it is also necessary to file cases for investigation, and if problems cannot be found, party discipline and administrative discipline should be punished to these people who do not speak of party surnames and principles, so as to put a stop to this unhealthy trend of protecting officials and officials. If you don't have enough manpower, I will send the Leopard Commandos to assist you, and when you go back, tell Anying what I said, and ask him to personally take the lead in this matter, first of all, to create a storm of clean government in Baikal Province, to thoroughly eliminate those who have infiltrated the party, the decay in the army, and those degraded renegades, so as to set an example for the Far East and the whole country.

Deng Feng was urgently summoned to Yanjing by the supreme leader before the New Year was over.

Due to the addition of this new element of the base, the pattern of the whole world has completely undergone major changes, and the true face of the original history has changed beyond recognition. In 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis, which almost triggered a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union in the Caribbean, shocked the world. However, it was in the Tsushima Strait that the South Korean missile crisis took place, even more thrilling.

In 1960, due to the participation and support of China's forces, in the midst of the surging "security struggle" in Benjamin, the National Council failed to adopt a new "US-US Security Treaty" by May 20, 1960, despite the resolute opposition of the people of Benjamin. As a result, the pro-American Nobusuke Kishi cabinet was demoralized in the security struggle, and was forced to dissolve the cabinet and announce his resignation. The new "US-US Security Treaty" has not been adopted, and the old "US-US Security Treaty" has become invalid. At this point, the US military has lost the basis for staying in this "law" any longer.

According to the regulations, all US troops stationed in the country must be withdrawn by the end of 1963. In the eyes of the Americans, the United States has lost its capital, and the Chinese forces will inevitably take its place and intervene in the vacuum of the United States. In this way, the entire western part of the United States will be directly exposed to China, an ambitious and newly rising power, and the North Pacific will become a gladiatorial arena between the United States and China.

In June 1962, the Chinese People's Liberation Army conducted a nuclear submarine underwater launch long-range launch vehicle launch test in the waters of the Arabian Sea in the Indian Ocean, thousands of kilometers away in the waters of the North Atlantic. Although it is said that the data capsule of China's rocket launch splashed in the North Atlantic, it is still more than 2,000 kilometers away from the nearest distance from the east coast of the United States. But this has caused great consternation and uneasiness in the United States, believing that this is China's naked threat of force and provocation against the United States! All this cannot but arouse great concern from the US government and public.

On 27 June, the United States reconnoitred and collected information on the launch test of China's first underwater nuclear submarine long-range carrier rocket. Delivered to Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, who had long cherished the Kennedy family's dream of being presidential, Kennedy immediately convened an emergency National Security Council meeting to study countermeasures.

The meeting began at 10:30 a.m. on the 27th and lasted until 17 p.m. on the 28th. The meeting was attended by US President John F. Kennedy, Vice President Johnson, Secretary of State Lasker, Secretary of Defense McNamara, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Taylor, and CIA Director Mack. In addition, President Kennedy's younger brother Robert Kennedy, Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon, and Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, Secretary of Defense McNamara pointed out at the meeting: "The success of China's nuclear submarine underwater launch carrier rocket shows that China's nuclear submarine with nuclear warheads can carry out unilateral nuclear strikes in any sea area against any strategic target they deem valuable on the continental United States." Moreover, when the United States itself is attacked, it is helpless and unable to carry out reciprocal nuclear retaliation, which is a very terrible thing. ”

Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was silent for a while, and said helplessly: "Although this is a thing that our United States absolutely cannot tolerate, we have to tolerate." In view of the limitations of our current nuclear submarine submarine and missile delivery technology, there is no good way to defeat this threat from China or form a strategic threat to China on an equal footing. Can we put the behemoth of the SM-65D type ICBM on our nuclear submarines? Obviously impossible! ”

Bony Kennedy, assistant to the president for national security affairs, took over the words of Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, with some anxiety: "The United States must increase its research and investment in nuclear submarines and nuclear weapon delivery capabilities, vigorously develop its own nuclear submarine and missile delivery technology, and strive to catch up with and narrow the gap between us and China in this field as soon as possible, otherwise we will always be in a strategic passive position." ”

"In the budget of the past few years, we have increased investment in this area." Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon explained: "It's going to take a process to catch up and close the gap between us and China in this area. ”

"What you said is right, Yuanquan can't quench the thirst of the near, the question is what to do now?" Kennedy's younger brother, Robert Kennedy, said, "When I say now, I'm talking about the period before the United States catches up with China. What if China makes a nuclear threat or starts a nuclear war against us during this period? It's been a long time. In this period, we must not allow China to run rampant and do whatever it wants. ”

"Yes, Mr. Robert, it is indeed a very long time, and China itself is constantly developing, and it is developing at a speed that we can hardly imagine." CIA Director Mike said: "I have another piece of news that is not very good for us, according to reliable intelligence, it is confirmed that China's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is now under construction at the Shanghai shipyard, and it is estimated that it will be launched early next year, maybe sooner." The United States will be in even greater trouble at that time. ”

Secretary of Defense McNamara lit the pipe in his hand, took a deep breath, and said with a frown: "I think that the only way to carry out an effective nuclear counterattack against China now is to deploy land-based medium- and long-range strategic nuclear missiles in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula." to carry out attacks on some of China's ground strategic targets under the conditions of nuclear war. ”

"This is certainly not a good idea, it will cause a very strong reaction in China!" Secretary of State Lasker shook his head and said, "It is likely that China will send troops to North Korea again." This led to the collapse of the Park Chung-hee regime in South Korea and drove us out of the Korean Peninsula once and for all. As a result, we have little place in the entire Asian region. ”

"I think this is a good way to try. If we do it smartly, the Chinese will not necessarily know. Vice President Johnson said smartly: "Although it may be detected by Chinese spy satellites, we will not be a little more hidden, do a good job of camouflage, and do it at night." Wouldn't that be the case?"

"I don't think that's going to work, it's too risky. Once discovered by the Chinese, they adopt a tough attitude, high-pressure means, what should we do? Secretary of State Lasker kept shaking his head and said, "Do we want to start a war with the Chinese on the Korean Peninsula again?" I don't think it's better to take this risk. ”

"Although we are not prepared to start a war with China, we need to strengthen the US military posture in the Asia-Pacific region, otherwise China will be too rampant. To suppress their momentum, that is, they have found out what they can do, is China ready to start a war with us? Defense Secretary McNamara paused for a moment and continued: "Generally speaking, China has been very restrained on the Korean Peninsula since the 1951 armistice." The situation on the Korean peninsula is also quite stable. South Korea is a strategic point for us, and as a strategic point, we must give full play to its strategic role, otherwise it will be of little significance to the United States no matter how stable it is. ”

U.S. Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon also added fuel to the fire and said, "We invest so much manpower, material and financial resources into the Korean Peninsula every year, and it is true that the gains outweigh the losses."

Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, nodded and said, "We can move on the Korean Peninsula, at least we can test China's bottom line against us and the United States." ”

The meeting of the US National Security Council discussed and studied for two days. They are well aware that China and the United States are likely to face a serious military conflict again, but after thinking about it, they feel that this big gamble is still worth trying. Kennedy's plan was to secretly deploy nuclear missiles in South Korea and to try to finish the job before China discovered it. In order to form the capability of a nuclear counterattack against China, if a nuclear war breaks out with China, even if it is destroyed by China, it will not be afraid, as long as 10 percent of the missiles remain in the first wave of strikes, it can deal a fatal blow to Yanjing and the heavy industrial cities in northern China. Within minutes, millions, if not tens of millions of Chinese, would have died, thus achieving their goal of nuclear counterattack.

They believed that the Chinese would not rashly use nuclear weapons, and in the Sino-Soviet war, the Soviet Union first used nuclear weapons to attack the squadron, and China did not make a corresponding nuclear counterattack. China's nuclear weapons are more likely to be used to carry out nuclear threats. They concluded that China would be furious if it found out that the United States had deployed missiles in south Korea, but that China would not retaliate with a large nuclear force for the United States' actions.

The U.S. National Security Council finally decided, as a strategic test, to try to deploy some mobile intermediate-range tactical missiles in the north and south of North Korea first, and then see how China reacts. If the Chinese side does not find it, or if the reaction to the discovery is not strong, the next step will be to deploy long-range strategic missiles. By putting nuclear missiles under the noses of the Chinese, the United States will have confidence. It's going to be much harder when you speak. However, he did not expect that an uproar would be caused by this, and that the crisis of war would also threaten the United States. The young Kennedy also had a problem for himself.

In accordance with the decision of the US National Security Council, the "corporal type II missile XSSM-A-17B missile system" that had been loaded on ships and ready to be shipped back to China was secretly transported through the Tsushima Strait to Pusan and Gwangju in the south of the Korean Peninsula and began to be deployed in the area south of the 37th parallel.

Judging from the photos taken by the satellites, the United States began to secretly install these "M2 Corporal" medium-range surface-to-surface missiles in Busan, Gwangju, Daegu, and Daejeon, south of the 37th parallel, under the cover of night, and photographed the name or number of each US ship carrying surface-to-surface missiles.
