Chapter 276: New Chairman
Serov nodded, but did not immediately remove the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, "If our communication network is still useful now, of course it can!" "I don't know if the equipment at this proving ground is tube-based, but if it is, it should still work.
At this time, all the radars of the USSR near the Novaya Zemlya test site had blind spots, and even foreign communications were interrupted. It took almost an hour for the Novaya Zemlya test site to inform Moscow of the success of the test.
The impact of Ivan's successful test explosion was so far-reaching that it was in the pages of the world's major media the next day. A flurry of news followed, both true and exaggerated, that many people in the countryside claimed to have seen explosions hundreds of kilometers away in Finnish cities near Novaya Zemlya because Big Ivan's test blast glass had been shattered. According to the results of the US test, the yield of the explosion was 58 million tons, and the Soviet Union did not deny the results of the American test, neither acknowledging nor denying it.
For a time, there were endless reports about the Soviet Union's test explosion of an unprecedented super nuclear bomb, and many media were frightened by the approaching end of the world, and some European countries called on the United States and the Soviet Union to reduce the number of nuclear tests, end the intensifying Cold War, abandon the hostile ******** of each other, and jointly guard the peace of the earth.
"Now the facts are very obvious, the United States and the Soviet Union have taken more and more excessive actions because of the hostility between the two countries, and if the two countries continue, the destruction of the world may be close at hand!" The Italian daily newspaper Rome said, "Once the war breaks out, it will not only be a matter for the two countries of the Soviet Union and the United States, it will involve the entire NATO member countries and the Warsaw Pact members, it will be a war that will spread all over the world, no country will be spared, and human civilization will come to an end!" β
This was stated by the new President of the United States, John F. Kennedy. "The actions of the Soviet Union are a flagrant violation of world peace, the people of the free world will not be overwhelmed by this momentum, and we will fight to the end until the final victory!"
To the First Secretary of the USSR and Chairman of the Council of Ministers Khrushchev slapped the table and shouted hoarsely, "Everyone in this world must understand one thing, that is, who is the boss in the world now?" β
"From a scientific point of view, this explosion is a very big reference for us in the study of electromagnetic pulse weapons. The explosion of this power of Big Ivan will be a very important test for communication equipment in conditions of war! Serov, one of the witnesses, returned to Moscow and has been reporting to the Kremlin since then, and he has a passing account of the explosion scene he saw, because the witnesses will recount it in more detail, and he is only responsible for saying useful things, "The thing is quite obvious, once the power reaches a certain value, the destructive power caused can no longer be estimated from common sense!" β
Serov then took out a photo of the explosion scene at the Novaya Zemlya test site and handed it to the leaders of the Central Presidium to see. The grim scene unfolded before the eyes: the frozen soil more than two meters deep was gone. The entire ground was covered with shards of glass, and the dust and sand had melted into crystals due to the heat. Flocks of blind seagulls are piled up on the ground, falling from nuclear radiation at high altitudes. On all sides of the island were the carcasses of deer and bears, all scorched by the energy radiated by the light. All living things are gone.
Within a radius of fifty kilometers from the center of the explosion, everything was completely burned and melted. Within a radius of 200 kilometers from the center of the explosion, all the brick and tile farmhouses remained in ruins. Not only were the villages and towns affected, but the power of the shock wave spread beyond the borders of the country to 400 kilometers away, and the windows of all buildings were destroyed. The explosion was so powerful. So much so that its sparkle can be seen in outer space without the help of a telescope.
"Yuri, you were in the control room on Novaya Zemlya. How do you feel? Brezhnev asked.
"I just felt a blinding light, and then the ground shook beneath my feet, and it took a few minutes for it to return to normal, because I didn't feel much about the explosion with my sunglasses, but to be honest, I could be hit by such an equivalent big Ivan. Personally, a very lucky thing! Serov thought for a moment and said.
Hearing Serov's answer, all the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee were stunned for a few seconds, and after a few embarrassing seconds, Khrushchev smiled and said, "Our little comrades may not be very good at organizing language. You can only express your shock with such words. β
"According to the calculations of earlier mathematicians, if we use five large Ivan without reducing their power to explode sequentially at a location of 400 to 600 kilometers in the Atlantic Ocean of the United States to increase their power, the formation of a small wave can always rush from the east coast of the United States to the central Great Plains of the United States, but from the analysis of maximizing benefits, if possible, it is better to throw it to Yellowstone National Park in the United States to exert the maximum power, I believe it will be the destruction of the North American continent!" Serov continued to report to the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee with a cold face that surprised everyone with his cold tone and indifferent expression.
In the end, Khrushchev gave Serov a few days off to rest and relieve the tension in his heart after completing the 202 plan.
"Maybe it's because I witnessed the power of Project 202 with my own eyes, so I was shocked!" Xie Lepin felt the strange expressions in the eyes of the others and hurriedly explained, "As a security cadre, Yuri's psychological quality is very good, and I believe that it won't take long for Yuri to adjust the current shock in his heart......"
What is Serov's mood now, in short, it can't be better, I thought about the recent itinerary, and made sure that there was no problem, and arrived in Berlin on the night of the holiday by the Central Presidium, and met Yelena, who had a second son left for him, and the two newlyweds were glued together, and even Yelena forgot to breastfeed her son, but fortunately, she didn't make the little guy hungry when she found it early.
"This little guy is my son, I feel like I have everything in this life, I have a perfect wife, a woman who loves me, and I have left a few offspring, and the rest of the days seem to have nothing to pursue except to realize my ideals!" Serov, who was hugging Mao Mei's hot body, thought for a long time, and it seemed that he had nothing to pursue now. Even if you lead your family to defect now, you can find a place to spend the rest of your life with a lot of money, of course, if you don't want to be approached by your subordinate Mendelev and the Operations Enforcement Department, it's better not to have this kind of thought.
"The environment in Germany seems to be a little different from that at home, the Stasi seems to have a stricter degree of control than your subordinates, Marcus Wolf I have met a few times, and he is more powerful than any of your bureau chiefs!" Yelena added at this point, "But excluding you, Marcus Wolf has a very high opinion of you!" β
"Including me, but the scale of the Stasi is far less than that of the KGB, it is my department that is stronger than his, not that I am stronger than him!" Serov is still very modest, the GDR is on the front line of the confrontation between the two blocs, the GDR's counterparts never appeared traitors during the Cold War, and even the intelligence network operated by the Federal Republic of Germany did not leak after the end of the Cold War.
"According to my communication with the Stasi, the stasi was given a certain amount of convenience in my field of work, in other words, the department of the GDR that is least restricted by our Soviet Union is the stasi!" Serov measured the woman's salient with his big hand, and said happily, "There are quite a few Stasi agents in West Berlin across the wall......
"Recently, many people in West Berlin are ready to escape, but they have been rejected by the soldiers of the GDR, and there is nothing they can do about the ordinary people with the five-meter wall, but this year I heard that 20 people have escaped from the Berlin Wall, and the GDR side is only a general report!" Yelena told everything she knew, and she would not hide anything from the men around her.
"Leave these things to Stas, Germany is in some ways more ruthless than we are, and is very authoritative, and rarely violates the law because of emotional factors!" Serov is not particularly worried about this.
The United States, Britain and France will not give up on West Berlin, even if the conditions are bad, although the GDR has done everything it can to cut off West Berlin's water, electricity and sewers. But in order to support West Berlin, a city embedded in the heart of the GDR, the United States, Britain and France still held out in these harsh conditions.
In the original imagination, Serov was still relatively naΓ―ve, thinking that destroying the living conditions of West Berlin would turn West Berlin into a desperate abandoned city like Gaza, in fact, the three powerful countries that currently represent the advanced productive forces of mankind are not out of the way to support the strategic location of West Berlin with iron heart. There is no shortage of groundwater in the Greater Berlin area itself, and the three power countries have painstakingly restructured the power grid in West Berlin, and the Federal Republic of Germany is preparing to build power lines from the ground to solve the problems in West Berlin.
Of course, it is expected that part of the power supply of the planned transmission line will be intercepted by the GDR, and it is not a very technical thing, and the use of the Federal Republic of Germany's electricity to develop the GDR is also a good thing. Marcus Wolf was ready for the Stasi to steal electricity from the Federal Republic of Germany.
Serov had been in Berlin for less than a week, and at this time an incident happened that he had to return to Moscow, and before leaving, he and Yelena went crazy for a whole day without any scruples before leaving the sexy hairy girl. Depressed, Serov slept all the way to Moscow, and returned to Lubyanka Square 11 to meet Semychasny. (To be continued.) )
