After Zhang Shusheng decided to fulfill his promise and attack Britain and the United States through nuclear leasing, the General Staff began to operate at a very high speed, and a set of preparatory plans was selected, the most suitable of which were immediately revised and refined, and at 10 o'clock in the morning of the second day after Zhang Shusheng made his decision, two detailed nuclear attack reports were placed in front of Zhang Shusheng.

He read both plans, the 250,000-ton TNT equivalent nuclear bomb is very mature in technology, whether it is the atomic bomb dropped on the air, or the nuclear warhead mounted on the missile, the former has been tested in actual combat, and the latter has completed the development of miniaturized bombs early, and has been proven reliable after many tests.

To put it simply, there are two plans, one is a plan for dropping nuclear weapons on board and the other is a plan for launching nuclear weapons, and the two plans have their own advantages and disadvantages. The way of loading the bomb is also extremely obvious, and it can be taken by surprise, and the enemy can be killed from thousands of miles away.

Since the empire began to research missiles in the 30s, it has been developing very rapidly, from the initial range of two or three hundred kilometers, to the later range of 1,000 kilometers, 1,500 kilometers, 3,000 kilometers.

After 1937, a major breakthrough was made in missile production and manufacturing technology. In 1937, the 5,000-kilometer range missile test was completed, although the accuracy still needs to be improved, but it was originally produced to install nuclear warheads, and the accuracy problem can temporarily lag behind the missile range, stability and reliability, and even the production cost of these major factors.

In 1942, the Dongfang missile with a range of 8,000 kilometers was successfully tested, and under the condition of theoretically shortening the range, it was launched from the northeast to the northwest, and the actual range reached more than 6,000 kilometers, and the development and production of missiles officially entered the era of intercontinental missiles.

Compared with the dozens, hundreds, and thousands of medium and long-range missiles and intercontinental missiles in later generations, Zhang Shusheng only needs a few or a dozen intercontinental missiles, because there is no nuclear competition today, and there is no corresponding enemy on the earth at present, and a small batch of intercontinental missiles is applicable.

What's more, even in the worst case, Zhang Shusheng still has an interstellar battleship of the USS China, which is the most rebellious thing.

However, he knows very well that even if a civilization develops at a super-high speed, it cannot be fueled by faults, so he still formulates a plan for scientific and technological progress step by step, producing an appropriate amount of nuclear weapons and intercontinental missiles, which are more convenient to use than interstellar warships, the cost is not high, and the deterrence is enough.

In 1945, in the production of a very small batch, the range of more than 10,000 kilometers of the intercontinental missile was officially successfully tested, this time it was no longer launched from the east and west of the country, but directly from the northwest to the deep Pacific Ocean near the Solomon Islands, although the error eventually exceeded 50 kilometers, but the satellite still tracked its traces, successfully recovered the relevant parts of the missile, proving that the test was successful.

After the occupation of Australia, these so-called British territories were taken over by the Empire. It's just that places like Papua New Guinea, which have a lot of mountains and very poor transportation, are very fast in the transformation of the regime, and nothing else has much effect. The natives did not even have any aversion to the yellow-skinned [***] people, for whom the invasion and occupation were accustomed to as long as the [***] squadron did not take the initiative to massacre on a large scale.

However, the Chinese army did not massacre and abuse the indigenous people in these backward areas, but quickly set up police stations and courts in the process of regime reform, and used systems and laws to manage local order and maintain law and order, which was welcomed to a certain extent.

"It's better to choose the way of missile loading, it's just two missiles, and it won't be too much of a problem if you can get your surname."

Zhang Shusheng pondered for a long time and believed that missiles were still convenient; first of all, it takes time for strategic bombers to be mobilized and time to carry out tasks, and there are quite a number of high-altitude and ultra-high-altitude warning radars and high-altitude fighters in the United States, and the use of strategic bombers may have to take considerable risks.

After all, this time it was Washington and Chicago that were going to be nuclear-bombed, and the two cities were not close to each other, and although the range of nuclear bombers was large, that was in terms of range.

The closest place to the United States is the Far East, and the distance from the Far East to the eastern part of the United States is about 6,000-8,000 kilometers.

In contrast, the advantage of missiles is too obvious, it doesn't matter if it flies over, as long as it hits, it is said that it does not hit the target by taking 10,000 steps back, as long as it falls on US territory, the effect is almost the same, but there are fewer dead people.

From a planning point of view, the plan drawn up by the General Staff for nuclear bombers was also to take off from the northernmost airfield in the Far East and bomb the United States, but the planes could not fly back, and they could only make a forced landing in a small pro-China country in South America.

After all, Zhang Shusheng remembered that in history, the Americans took off bombers from aircraft carriers and then made a forced landing in China, which was correct, but there were problems with the actual implementation.

The Americans are not fools, and they know from the map that China wants to bomb the United States nuclearly, and in addition to driving the aircraft carrier fleet to the center of the Pacific Ocean, close to Pearl Harbor, the only way to deploy nuclear bombers is to deploy nuclear bombers in the Far East.

The range of carrier-based bombers does not meet the operational requirements of nuclear bombing at all, so it can only take off from the Far East.

As a result, the Americans have secretly deployed many high-altitude and ultra-high-altitude detection and early warning radars in the vicinity of Alaska, and a new generation of jet fighters are also deployed in the west, ready to intercept Chinese bombers attempting to invade from the Far East.

In this era, the best way for bombers to raid is to attack at high altitude and high speed, but in the face of the Americans' latest generation of F-3 fighters, this is very difficult, and some intelligence shows that the Americans not only have reached the ultimate altitude of strategic bombers, but may even secretly deploy air-to-air missiles just like China's main jet fighters.

War is the best way to catalyze science and technology, and it is not only China that is progressing, so Zhang Shusheng must consider these things, of course, the plan of the General Staff also considers, you can't send planes to bomb the United States, and you will be beaten down just after you go out.

Therefore, missiles are still the best choice.

Moreover, because the missile was successfully developed relatively early, the empire had enough time to deploy a certain number of Vostok-42 ICBMs in the Far East, and although the range was only 10,000 km, it was one step higher than the accuracy and reliability of the Vosto-45 long-range ICBMs.

After having the basic idea, Zhang Shusheng picked up the phone and said, "I'm Zhang Shusheng, and I'll ask General Lu Ziyun, the commander of the Strategic Rocket Force, to come to my office and pay attention to secrecy." ”

Forty minutes later, after Zhang Shusheng finished processing the documents more than two feet high, the knock on the door finally sounded, and after answering, Lu Ziyun pushed open the door and walked in, accompanied by Jiang Baili, the chief of the General Staff.

"Chairman."

After the two saluted, Zhang Shusheng motioned for them to sit down, and Mao Yunxian had already placed the plan on the small table to launch a nuclear warhead using an intercontinental missile.

Jiang Baili knew that the chairman had chosen the nuclear missile plan at the beginning, so he took a closer look and found that there were indeed a few subtle annotations on it, which were in the chairman's handwriting.

Lu Ziyun had also participated in the formulation of the plan before, and after reading the plan quickly, he immediately stood up excitedly, stood up and saluted again, and said, "Chairman of the Committee, the Strategic Rocket Force will definitely live up to your expectations, and if we follow this plan, we will guarantee to complete the task." ”

"Are you so confident? Hehe. Zhang Shusheng smiled, pointed to the plan and said, "The success rate of this intercontinental missile launch problem is not 100 percent, and I have also considered it, even if the launch fails, as long as it can hit the mainland of the United States, it will be considered successful." ”

Zhang Shusheng did not hide it from him, and told the truth that the success rate of this intercontinental missile, even in the 21st century, no one dares to say that it will be successful, especially the three big brothers in India, it is normal for them to fail once or twice in two or three times. Therefore, in order to improve the reliability and safety of missiles, he would rather increase the cost and use the method of slow work and meticulous work, and high cost and high quality to produce and manufacture missiles, but he did not make them all by hand like the most sophisticated clocks.

In order to meet the empire's ultra-high-precision machining and manufacturing problems, he exchanged several very advanced industrial machine tools and some key high-precision equipment, which must not be used for large-scale manufacturing, but it is still no problem to ensure a small range of demand.

"The lesson of the chairman is that I will guarantee that there will be no failure due to human factors."

Lu Ziyun straightened his chest and said solemnly.

Zhang Shusheng nodded with satisfaction, and didn't talk nonsense, but raised another question, "There are still some differences in the accuracy of our missiles, but this error is not impossible to grasp." ”

"Yes, chairman, if it is calculated according to the approximate error, we can basically grasp the error probability." Lu Ziyun said.

Zhang Shusheng: "I'm not worried about the nuclear bombardment of Britain and Europe this time, and the Dongfang-37 missile, a medium- and long-range missile with higher accuracy, can be used for the bombing of London and Birmingham.

On the American side, Washington and Chicago are both very densely populated cities, and this plan is very clear that we want to teach the Americans a painful lesson, so that they will completely surrender and be weakened to the maximum, and the nuclear bomb must cause heavy damage.

When carrying out the plan, we had to make sure that the nuclear bomb fell inside the city, and if there were no accidents, we had only one chance to use the nuclear bomb against the Americans, and this time it was justified by the Germans, and it coincided with World War II, which was able to quickly minimize the impact of nuclear bombing after the war. ”

"Yes, Chairman, I see."

Lu Ziyun said excitedly.

Zhang Shusheng smiled and nodded, he will not be merciful, originally in history, after the successful atomic bombing of the Americans, the Americans planned to use nuclear weapons in many places around the world, and the atomic bombs were once transported to Asia, and even Taiwan-Gulf, completely aimed at China, countless times planned to drop atomic bombs on the heads of the Chinese, and a few times even a little, the Chinese were defeated.

But unfortunately, this time it was the Chinese who tested actual nuclear weapons first, so only the Americans, who almost escaped two world wars, are sorry.
