Zhang Tiezhu sat in the conference room of the supply ship "Claris" and looked at the enthusiastic captain of the ship, Lieutenant Commander Thomson. He took a sip of hot coffee with great enjoyment, and then said, "Lieutenant Commander Thomson, we reiterated to you, Colonel Hilson, commander of the 12th Destroyer Squadron of the 43rd Destroyer Detachment of the 7th Fleet of the United States Navy, more than two hours ago, that you must stop moving, drop anchor on the spot, and be inspected. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe, and you will bear full responsibility for all the consequences arising therefrom. It is a great pity, however, that you, Colonel Hilson, have not listened to our orders, ignored our advice, and insisted on using our artillery to decide whether or not to be examined. Now through the way that Colonel Hilson has chosen, a decision has been made, that is, this supply ship of yours must be inspected, which is not negotiable, and I hope you will cooperate with our work. ”

After that, Zhang Tiezhu stood up and said very seriously: "Lieutenant Commander Thomson, please hand over the shipping list of the supply ship "Clarys" immediately. In addition, the heads of the various departments of the supply ship "Claris" were summoned here, and the rest of the ship's personnel were gathered in the dining room, so that they would not move around there and have a good rest, hoping that they would obey the order and cooperate with our work. Don't let anything unpleasant happen, I'm sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. ”

"Dear Commodore General, my men and I can cooperate with you, but we are forced to do so, this is the high seas, we have the right to pass, you have no right to do it against us," Captain Thomson made a helpless last feeble plea.

Zhang Tiezhu waved his hand impatiently, interrupted Captain Thomson's words, and said, "It's okay if you can cooperate with our inspection." The rest of the things are not issues that you and I should discuss at your level and in this capacity. ”

Zhang Tiezhu said to a member of the Chinese Marine Corps beside him: "Inform Captain An to receive the supply ship "Claris"!" ”

Then he said to Lieutenant Colonel Thomson, who was staying aside, "Lieutenant Colonel Thomson, for the sake of your promise to cooperate with our work, I will say a few superfluous words to you." There is a legal basis for doing so, and the decision was made only by implementing the Pyongyang Resolution and the Shannan Agreement of the Foreign Ministers' Meeting of the South and Southeast Asian Countries on Stopping the Entry of Nuclear Weapons into the Asian Region, signed by the leaders of the political axes of the 11 socialist countries, and our actions were carried out under the authorization of these countries. Moreover, prior to this, our political axe has solemnly announced to you the decision to inspect US ships entering the Asian region and to blockade all US ships in the Tsushima Strait through formal diplomatic channels. Ignoring these two legal documents of the international community and China's decision, the United States is still illegally transporting strategic materials, especially nuclear weapons of mass destruction, to south Korea. As you should know by now, we have every right to halt and inspect all your American ships passing through here. ”

Of course, Lieutenant Colonel Thomson knew that he could not stop these tough lieutenants from inspecting his supply ship, and what he said just now was just a gesture, and he would have an explanation when he went back in the future.

The battle for the Tsushima Strait between the Chinese and US navies, which was caused by whether or not to accept the inspection of the US [***] ship by the Chinese Navy, ended with a complete victory for China without any suspense.

Over the next three days, nuclear weapons inspectors composed of China, the DPRK, the Soviet Union, and Ben, four countries directly threatened by the nuclear missiles deployed by the United States in South Korea, accompanied by Captain Thomson of the USS "Claris" supply ship and responsible personnel of various departments on board, conducted a comprehensive inventory and inspection of the cargo carried by the USS "Claris."

The technicians of China, the DPRK, the Soviet Union, and the four countries participating in the inspection wore radiation-proof lead overalls and carried unpacking tools and radioactive material detection instruments to open and inspect all the dry cargo holds, ammunition tanks, and fuel tanks of the "Claris" supply ship.

They soon found two special wooden crates in the No. 1 dry cargo hold, and the radioactive material detection instrument emitted a series of piercing sirens indicating the surname. After opening the wooden box, it was found that the inner lining of the wooden box was wrapped in a thick layer of lead skin, and there was a sealed aluminum box inside. China's chemical defense forces and Soviet nuclear experts concluded that this was the nuclear warhead they were looking for. The nuclear radiation expert who was in charge of recording on the side knowingly asked Captain Thomson, who was accompanying the inspection, "Mr. Thomson, what is in here?" ”

As the captain of the ship, Thomson should have a comprehensive understanding of the cargo carried on the ship, especially the important shipments. But he turned his head and pretended not to know anything about it, and asked the director of dry cargo hold No. 1 who was standing nearby.

The supervisor flipped through the registration form for shipments and said, "The shipment list registers that these are two depth charges destined for cruiser Busan Project 59. ”

"Depth charges? It can't be. The nuclear radiation expert pointed to the data displayed on the radioactive material detection instrument and said: "How can a depth charge emit such strong nuclear radiation, you can see that the nuclear radiation here is nearly 10 times higher than normal." ”

"Oh! How could God be like this" The director of the No. 1 dry cargo hold opened his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said: "This must be the work of Satan the Devil." ”

Under the watchful eyes of Captain Thomson and the director of the No. 1 dry cargo hold, the inspectors of the four countries carefully opened the aluminum box, and placed a W-49 hydrogen warhead with a diameter of 432 mm, a length of 864 mm, a weight of 1,500 kg, and a power of 1.45 million tons of TNT yield and the SM-75 Thor ballistic missile.

Suddenly, Captain Thomson and the director of the No. 1 dry cargo hold were very embarrassed and speechless, and could only sign their names and fingerprints on the inspection result report in embarrassment.

After three days of inspection, a total of www.xstxt.org-75 Thor ballistic missile launchers were found on the supply ship "Claris". After that, the representatives of China, the Soviet Union, the DPRK, and the Chinese and Captain Thomson signed the verification form. After consultations among various parties, it was decided to concentrate all the more than 100 prisoners rescued from the sea by the 12th US destroyer squadron on the supply ship "Claris" and escort the supply ship "Claris" to the port of Dalian in China.

Subsequently, in Tokyo, the joint verification teams of China, the DPRK, the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union released to the world the video materials of the verification process and the photos and all the data of the www.xstxt.org-75 Thor ballistic missile launch system.

The United States has lost a lot of money this time. The world is watching the United States, and the United States is not a provincial oil lamp, so how will the United States react to China's action? Will this lead to a nuclear war that will affect the whole world? The hearts of the whole world hung in the air.

After receiving a report that the 12th Destroyer Squadron of the 43rd Destroyer Detachment of the US 7th Fleet and the supply ship "Claris" had been intercepted by China in the Tsushima Strait, the US political axe did not wait to study specific measures, and then received a message from Captain Thomson of the supply ship "Claris" that all three destroyers of the 12th Destroyer Squadron had been guided by the Chinese Navy destroyers. "Smashed" message.

China's response was completely unexpected. In any case, the United States is also a superpower in the world, and China should have a "hotline consultation" process between the leaders of the two countries in advance. But this process has been completely simplified by China. The direct use of missiles to conduct "hotline consultations" has simply and clearly told the US political axe what China's bottom line is. ”。

China's move is also a little faster and darker.

In the morning, Kennedy got up and walked around the rose garden, and before breakfast, he flipped through the day's newspaper. At this time, CIA Director Mike hurriedly came to the White House and reported to him that the 12th Destroyer Squadron of the 43rd Destroyer Detachment of the 7th Fleet of the United States and the supply ship "Claris" transporting hydrogen bomb warheads to South Korea had been intercepted by China in the Tsushima Strait.

Kennedy, who is widely regarded by the American people as one of the most outstanding presidents in American history, his first reaction was to strike back against China, but when he listened to Mike's entire report, he was a little stupid, and he really didn't know what was good for a while. Next year is the new presidential election, and if this matter is not handled well, the hope of being re-elected as president will be dashed. He regretted the decision of the US National Security Council meeting in June last year to discuss and study the secret deployment of nuclear missiles in south Korea. Can he allow you to put a nuclear missile under his nose? They have just been founded for a year, and the poor dare to play with the United States when they have nothing but people, not to mention that now China is like Zhongtian, if he doesn't kill you, he will have to kill you half to death. This gamble is a bit of a big game.

Judging from Mack's report, China is fully prepared for war. Now he is really in a dilemma, caught in a dilemma, he can't fight and can't fight, he can't retreat, he really feels what it means to ride a tiger.

At 9 a.m. EST on February 21, worried officials from the U.S. National Security Council gathered at the White House, and everyone noticed that Kennedy, the youngest president in U.S. history, had a little worry on his brow. This is a big trouble for himself, and this is another test for the eldest son of the Kennedy family, who is bent on getting ahead in American politics.

Kennedy, accompanied by his younger brother Robert Kennedy, came to the conference room next to his Oval Office, and when he saw that all the personnel of the US National Security Council had arrived, he said with a somewhat depressed expression: "Let's talk about how to deal with this thorny matter in the Tsushima Strait now."

"Should we send the U.S. Navy and Air Force in the Republic of Korea to resolutely fight back against China? First blow up their few Chinese [***] ships that participated in the interception and blockade of American ships! Vice President Johnson, the ambitious cowboy of Texas, couldn't wait to be the first to express his opinion: "We will immediately stop the withdrawal of troops from the city and re-increase the number of combat troops in the city." ”

Secretary of State Lasker shook his head, he was very opposed to Vice President Johnson's very irresponsible proposal, "I don't think there's anything brilliant about this idea, Mr. Vice President. I think we should be more likely to negotiate this issue. We simply cannot consider re-increasing the number of combat units in the city. Rather, on the contrary, should the United States consider withdrawing from Japan and North Korea as soon as possible, and even from the whole of Asia? He glanced at everyone's puzzled expressions and said, "It's very simple, because we have lost all our advantages there. ”

"I think before we get into that, all of us in this room should first be clear about whether we're going to start a war with China, and it's probably a large-scale nuclear war. What are we waging this war for? Bony Kennedy, assistant to the president for national security affairs, assertively said: "If we set this premise, we should make a comprehensive assessment of such a war." What are the odds of us winning? All the rest of the problems can be left to the military to solve. ”

After a moment of silence, Secretary of Defense McNamara said: "It is clear first of all that there is no nuclear war with China now." China's nuclear submarines with nuclear warheads may now be hiding under the seabed somewhere not far from our east and west coasts, ready to carry out a strategic nuclear strike against our United States. It's a terrible thing. Even if it is fought, it can only be fought in a conventional local war. As for the purpose of the war, it is very clear that it is to curb China's expansion, or what the Chinese call its rise. ”

"Mr. Minister, how many bases do we have in South Korea that can launch nuclear missiles?" Vice President Johnson consulted Secretary of Defense McNamara: "And our strategic nuclear submarines can't sneak into China's East China Sea and the Yellow Sea?" ”

"There are four bases and six W-49 hydrogen bomb warheads," Secretary of Defense McNamara replied, "and it was originally planned to have two W-49 hydrogen bomb warheads at each base, but this time China detained two of them in the Tsushima Strait." ”
