"What does nuclear war mean?

The end of the world.

The Soviets will not only aim their nuclear missiles at the United States because their enemy is only the United States, and in the same way, the United States will not only target the Soviet Union with the object of destruction, when two people with a submachine gun in their hands fire at each other, will they watch the people next to them leisurely drinking tea?

They won't.

The Soviets will not allow others to step on their bones, laugh at their stupidity, and enjoy their own food after their destruction, and our friends in the United States probably will not want their land to become ruins, and others will stand next to the ruins, build skyscrapers, drink wine, and thank themselves for the sacrifices they have made for mankind. No, none of them will be that great, on the contrary, they will drag everyone into the water, their missiles will fly to any innocent country, they will let mushroom clouds rise in every corner of the world, and not just in their homeland.

This is called nuclear bundling. ”

Yang Feng was gloomy and alarmist.

"Your Excellency, this is too inhumane, isn't it?"

British Ambassador Woolf said in a difficult tone.

"Extinction of humanity? It's all come to this point, and you're still talking to me about human nature? ”

Yang Feng said stunned.

"Your Excellency, we must prevent the outbreak of war."

The Gallic ambassador swallowed and said.

"How to stop it?"

Yang Feng said.

The latter was dumbfounded, yes, how to stop and let the Soviets withdraw their missiles in Cuba? If the people of the United States can't do it, they can't do it. Let the people of the United States withdraw nuclear missiles from Western Europe and local chickens? Britain and France don't care, the nuclear strike force in their hands is even far more than the Jupiter missiles in Italy and Tuji, but the problem is that other countries don't do it! Of course, they will not expect that when something really happens, Britain and France will provide them with a nuclear umbrella, and Britain and France themselves can only barely be considered enough, and the deployment of Jupiter missiles in Italy and various short-range missiles in West Germany is what Europe relies on, what if the countries of Western Europe are withdrawn?

"Your Excellency, do you have any good suggestions?"

Woolf asked cautiously.

"No, the only thing we can do now is to strengthen our own defenses, and communicate with them more to see if there is any room for things to turn around."

Yang Feng said helplessly.

Those European envoys couldn't help but smile bitterly, there is really no way, diplomatic mediation is meaningless, in fact, both the United Nations and governments are privately trying to pull Kennedy and the bald man, but unfortunately this time the two of them are determined to go to the point of no return. As for strengthening his own strength, it is too late now, Yang Feng is good to say, he has already deployed the Iron Curtain anti-missile system to the third set, Banda Aceh set, Yongning Province set, Phu Quoc Island set, the three sets of systems like a shield to protect the northern half of the Ming Empire, at least now the Soviet Union's ICBMs are not easy to break through this interception line.

But what defense do European countries take?

Again, they don't have an anti-missile system!

"If this can be resolved peacefully, we really have to sit down and study the issue of nuclear weapons control."

Yang Feng looked at them and said.

A group of envoys nodded without hesitation.

Not only is it a matter of nuclear weapons control, but I am afraid that Europe should make concerted efforts to build its own anti-missile system, otherwise no matter where the United States and the Soviet Union make trouble in the future, Europe will follow suit, but these will have to wait until the current hurdle is passed.

In this way, under the frightened and helpless eyes of the whole world, the Soviet fleet continued to sail to Cuba, and at the same time, the diplomatic rhetoric of the United States and the Soviet Union became tougher and tougher, and the United States government even threatened to send US troops to land in Cuba, or send bombers to carry out air strikes against Cuba, while Castro threatened that if the US military dared to invade, they would launch nuclear bombs at New York.

As for the United Nations, it is still weak and powerless, and the new Secretary-General U Thant called on both sides to remain calm, but unfortunately neither Kennedy nor the Bald Man bothered to deal with him, and the Vatican Pope also came forward to call on both sides to think of peace, of course, no one paid attention to him, and the Organization of American States supported the blockade of Cuba with great face, and of course it was not interesting for them to support it or not. However, the head of the Ming Empire, the head of the Southeast Asian Holy Alliance Council, Xi Yang Feng, once again stood up and firmly accused the Soviets of being unreasonable, demanding that the Bald Man immediately end this farce, and at the same time once again announced that all the strategic nuclear submarines of the Ming army had left Hong Kong and entered combat readiness duty, while all the strategic nuclear submarines of Britain and France had also left their posts, and even their medium-range ballistic missiles had begun to be refueled and put on combat readiness duty.

But unlike the original history, this time there was no sign of weakness, and the fleet escorting merchant ships still headed straight for Cuba without slowing down.

During this period, the U2 high-altitude reconnaissance planes of the US military continued to discover more missile bases, and the total number even exceeded 20, and it was obvious that the Soviets had been secretly carrying out this work for a long time, but if it were not for the reconnaissance satellites of the Ming army accidentally discovered, the people of the United States would not have known how long they would be fools, and more and more SS5s appeared on the newly discovered missile bases, with a total of more than 10 pieces.

The representative of the United States to the United Nations was full of grief and indignation and brought the pictures one by one to the UN General Assembly, but unfortunately the answer of the representative of the Soviet Union was very simple: they were invited by the Cuban Government to protect this sovereign country, which is a member of the United Nations, from the aggression of some hegemonic countries, so there is nothing illegal. However, the blockade of Cuba by the Government of the United States is very regrettable, and it is difficult for them to imagine that there would be a country that prides itself on being civilized and treats its neighbor in such a barbaric and rude manner.

Of course, none of this is of any use, everything will have to wait for the arrival of the Soviet fleet.

On the third day of the crisis, Soviet air defense forces in Cuba shot down a U2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane with a Sam-2 missile, but the next day, the U.S. Navy dropped dozens of deep bombs on a locked Soviet submarine at sea, forcing the submarine to surface.

Of course, people didn't know at this time that the world had already gone around before the ghost gate, because the submarine was equipped with a nuclear torpedo, and the captain gave up the launch at the last moment.

But this series of friction between the two sides made the world panic, whether it was the United States, Europe, or even the Soviet Union, the clouds of nuclear war were heavily pressed overhead, and even the Ming Empire, which was on the edge of the storm, felt this pressure.

Daming's fourth Iron Curtain anti-missile interception system was quickly deployed, but this system was not deployed on Daming soil, but was deployed in Padang in central Sumatra, and a fifth set is under construction, which is deployed in Banten, west of Java Island. The sixth set is planned to be deployed in Surabaya, the seventh set is deployed in the Portuguese territory of East Timor, the eighth set is deployed in Ambon, the ninth set is deployed in Manado, the tenth set is deployed in Perth, and the eleventh set is planned to be deployed in Jeju Island in the future, and the twelfth set is deployed in Sharjah, the first nine sets of systems surround the core part of the Ming Dynasty, and the last three sets are used for local defense by the subject countries.

Of course, this is the mid-course extra-atmospheric interception system.

On the same day that the Soviet fleet arrived in the Americas, the Ming Empire successfully tested the latest terminal interception system, which was based on the Javelin II surface-to-air missile, so it was called the Javelin III low-altitude anti-missile interception system, referred to as the Standard III.

Equipped with a 1,000-ton yield neutron bomb as a warhead, a larger body has been redesigned, and a booster and engine with greater thrust can make the missile speed close to Mach 7, with a maximum launch height of 50,000 meters. It can not only intercept ballistic missiles, but also high-altitude aircraft, but the maximum interception distance when intercepting the former is less than 100 kilometers, and the maximum range when intercepting aircraft can reach 300 kilometers.

"Perfect interception!"

Lord Mountbatten, who had come on behalf of the British government, looked at the strange flash of light in the distant sky and said excitedly.

It was the flash of the S3 interceptor that accurately hit and destroyed the target.

"But what would you use as a warhead if you procured it?"

Yang Feng said.

This terminal anti-missile system is not only used by Daming, European countries have also placed orders for a long time, but their missiles are in charge of Airbus Space Systems, of course, the core systems and components are directly purchased from Daming, but the list of prohibited materials by the Ming Congress includes neutron bombs, which means that the missiles used in Europe cannot be loaded with neutron bombs.

"It's not a big deal, let's just load the atomic bomb!"

Lord Mountbatten said with a shrug.

"But what do we do?"

Manstein, who also watched the interception test, said.

"I think the German government should be able to have some small tactical nuclear warheads for self-defense now, right? For example, equipping their Javelin anti-missile system with a nuclear warhead, and not only them, but all countries that have purchased this anti-missile system should be equipped with a nuclear warhead if they need it, anyway, we are all peace-loving democratic countries, and no one can use this weapon for anything else, just to protect their own homeland. ”

Yang Feng looked at Johnson and said.

"Of course, if Germany or other Western European countries feel they need it, then they have the right to buy any weapons."

Johnson said.

At this time, they have no time to care about this, and the most important thing now is to ensure the unity of NATO and the free world, and stand firmly by their side to deal with this crisis together.

Yang Feng and Manstein glanced at each other, and at the same time showed a hint of a smile, the third standard is equipped with a tactical nuclear warhead, it is not simply an air defense missile, it can easily become a short-range ballistic missile with a range of more than 300 kilometers, and it is also a nuclear missile, as long as the internal system is slightly modified.

"Well, now we can only wait for good news from the Caribbean."

Then Yang Feng said. (To be continued.) )
