Chapter 16: The Shameless Dead Hand System

The question that Bosan considered was a real occurrence during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, but to what extent was the nuclear arms race crazy at the beginning? For example, at the height of the nuclear arms race, on average, one out of every five scientists in the Soviet Union was a nuclear physicist.

Albert never considered the endless manufacture of nuclear weapons or perverted weapons like Khrushchev's hydrogen bomb to maintain the country's military status, and it was almost a fool's dream for Belgium to become the strongest king of the earth server like the United States and the Soviet Union, but it was more than enough to become a self-respecting power. However, Albert did not want to turn Belgium into South Africa, which was surrounded and suppressed by the five hooligans of the United Nations in the 80s.

Based on Albert's previous risk theory, the Dead Hand system is shamelessly brought to the table.

"The Dead Hand System?" Boshean expressed interest in this new word.

What is the dead hand system, it is the Soviet Union's invention of "if Lao Tzu can't live, I will accompany me to hell regardless of whether you have enemies or not".

The Dead Hand system is connected to hundreds of ICBMs and can automatically assign targets for strike. The system does not distinguish between the target of the attack and the target, but only follows the predetermined procedure. As soon as a country launches a nuclear assault on the head and command organs of Russia, the "dead hand system" will be activated, which will definitely trigger a global nuclear war. Because most of the targets of Russian nuclear bombs are targets in the United States.

The nuclear binding death hand system does not require any human intervention and can be activated directly and automatically, even if the entire country is devastated. Today, the dead-hand system of the nuclear powers has become an extreme means of repression to prevent the outbreak of a nuclear war, and under the pressure of nuclear bondage, the outbreak of a nuclear war would mean the destruction of the world.

"For example, country A has nuclear weapons, but its nuclear strike capabilities are not strong enough to cover its potential enemy, country D, which also has nuclear weapons. Therefore, country A sets its nuclear bindings to two countries that can be hit by the nuclear weapons of country A, B and C, even though the relationship between B and C and country A is very friendly. ”

"When war breaks out between country D and country A, if D relies on his strength to launch a nuclear bomb at A. Although A's nuclear weapons cannot hit country D, according to its strategy of "nuclear bundling", A will launch all its limited nuclear bombs into B and C, thus dragging B and C into a nuclear war. If countries B and C also develop a nuclear bundling strategy that suits their own capabilities, more countries will be involved in a nuclear war, which will lead to a full-scale nuclear war in the world. ”

"It's cruel." Bo Shean sighed.

"Brother, there is no cruelty or non-cruelty in politics, all we can do is maintain our own interests. Let these superpowers know that we do not have the ability to defeat them, but we have the ability to die with them, and this can force the other side to the negotiating table. Belgium is still a defensive-oriented country, but we also need to let people know that Belgium is not a country that can be bullied at will. Albert said calmly that this statement is similar to "our development of nuclear weapons in order to better reflect an independent foreign policy of peace."

At present, the development of long-range missiles is still in its infancy, and it does not have the ability to strike in actual combat, so the nuclear bundling strategy is still in the unrealistic category so far, but although this practice is shameless, it can very well maintain the world situation in a "state of peace on a sharp knife", and no one wants to start a war first, because no one can afford the cost of war.

"We need to have a secret meeting with Prime Minister Arshile van Ack and with the War Office ministers." Albert paused, adding, "A conference that will determine the future of Belgium as a country." ”

To be sure, Albert is more interested in the next prime minister, Paul Henri Charles Spark, a member of the Socialist Party who served as prime minister of Belgium and president of the United Nations General Assembly from 1946 to 1947 and secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. However, Paul Henri Charles Spark did not last long as Prime Minister of Belgium, serving less than a month in 1946.

Albert has done everything he can do, and what he can say has been said, but the decision is still in the hands of his father Leopold III and his brother Boshean, and all he can do is to give them advice on how to make decisions, and this inability to take the final decision into his own hands makes Albert very unhappy.

If Albert loses, then even if he can develop the country's light weapons to the extreme, Belgium will only be a second- or third-rate power.

"I agree with Albert." Boshean was the first to stand up and take a stand, "Nuclear weapons can better increase our bargaining chips at the negotiating table, after all, war is a last resort of political necessity, isn't it, father." ”

"Let me think about it." Leopold III waved his hand and motioned for Albert and Boshean to step down and be alone for a while, after all, Leopold III still seemed a little hesitant and wavering in this kind of decision that could affect the future direction of Belgium.

"To make Belgium a first-class power, and to remember the immortal name of Saxe-Coburg and the Gotha family." This sentence seems to awaken the high-spirited Leopold III in his youth, who wanted to follow the example of the French Emperor Napoleon and plunge the long sword of the conqueror all over Europe.

Albert and Boshean bowed slightly to their father before exiting the door. In the hallway, Boshean called out to Albert, "I have something to tell you. ”

Albert clasped his hands and said flatly, "I know what you want to say, you want to say why I seem to have completely changed recently." ”

Bo She'an was slightly stunned, and then chuckled, "But you are my younger brother after all, and I don't want a younger brother who should have a good childhood to focus his energy on boring politics." ”

Albert, who was about to leave, stopped, shook his head, held the pure white wall in the corridor with his left hand, and said casually, "I know what you mean, anyway, you are the crown prince of Belgium, the future king, and I Albert don't bother to compete with you about who is the helm of this future empire, in my eyes, Belgium will always be the Belgium of Saxe-Coburg and the Gotha family, and the only thing I can do as a member of this family is to do my part for this country." ”

Throwing off this heartfelt passage, Albert turned to leave. Only Bo She'an, who was slightly stunned, looked at his brother's thirteen-year-old thin figure, his eyes were meaningful, he didn't know that the palms he was clenching hard had been soaked with sweat.

"Tianyan, do you know what the most powerful weapon of mankind is?" Albert communicated with the eye in his mind as he walked.

"Nuclear weapons? Laser weapons? "Tianyan gives a few answers.

"Not all right." Albert explained, "The most terrible weapon of mankind is conspiracy. ”

"Schemes?" Skyeye seemed to be interested in this new term, "What kind of weapon is conspiracy, something more powerful than nuclear weapons?" ”

"There's a saying that there's nothing wrong with a weapon, it's the hand that pulls the trigger that's wrong. The development of human society to the present, is not blindly the rhythm of big fish eating small fish, small fish eating shrimp, many times small fish will also use the environment, use the situation to devour the big fish in turn, and the process of devouring the big fish is called conspiracy. ”

"Taking advantage of favorable conditions to defeat the strong with the weak? It's an interesting idea. Tianyan sighed, "Maybe it's because our civilization is developing too quickly and smoothly, and every time we directly crush each other with our strength, we rarely mention the strategy you mentioned." ”

"No, no, no, I just wanted to explain to you what it means to be conspiracy." Albert corrected, "Just like the passage just now that Crown Prince Boshe said, he is hinting at me and warning me. ”

"Warning what?"

"I advise me not to think too much about the position of the crown prince now." Albert smiled bitterly, "Or advise me to keep a low profile, a mediocre prince is compared to a good prince, maybe Leopold III, who does not play cards according to common sense, will be a wasted young man." It's just that he doesn't know that I just want to change a country by my own strength. ”

The struggle between the royal family and the court is really an excellent survival rule inherited by human beings for thousands of years.

"So what do you do? Defeat him with your 'schemes'? Tianyan asked.

"No, no, no, as long as he doesn't stop my strong army, I won't care if he stumbles. But if Boshe really wants to come with me, you will be delayed in the future development of Belgium. I've read all the 24 histories of China, and I can play more than he can do this kind of thing. Albert said with half-squinted eyes and a calm stare at a prey.
