Because of health problems, the last year of the elder Bush's presidency became a little inadequate, and even greatly reduced his various inspections, visits, and other activities, and his negative approach aroused the dissatisfaction of not only the Democratic Party, but even some Republicans, especially after the outbreak of the civil war between Russia and Russia, in the face of China's rush to seize the right to speak and influence, this kind of inaction has been criticized.

However, it is obvious that the Chinese are very unstoppable, using new news that caught the United States off guard over and over again, so that Americans are passive on the big stage of international politics. After unexpectedly submitting a draft resolution to the UN Security Council to form a coalition to intervene in Russia's civil war, China has pulled in another 12-nation coalition with no clues. Originally, I thought that China would be like the United States, and it would take more than half a year to send troops, but not long after the UN Security Council resolution was passed, the Chinese made another mistake - an intercontinental missile attack on Russia's nuclear weapons facilities.

This is simply unimaginable for the Americans, and the Chinese are bent on fighting a nuclear war? Of course, what is even more incomprehensible to the Americans is that China has hit so many ICBMs, and it seems that all of them have hit the target, but it has not observed a nuclear explosion anywhere, what is going on?

President George H.W. Bush had no choice but to summon Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell, and others to discuss the new situation.

Cheney frowned and said: "This strike is absolutely impossible to be a temporary decision, the Chinese estimate that this nuclear strike has been brewing for a long time, and the previous madness of Soviet Russia made the Chinese quite jealous, so the preemptive strike to paralyze the nuclear counterattack capability of Soviet Russia is just surprising, they actually succeeded." ”

Powell also sighed: "Is the huge red empire, which once opposed the United States for decades, so weak that even nuclear force can be easily wiped out?" ”

The elder Bush had a pair of eyes with a fine light, some people said that he was a hundred times more energetic when talking about military diplomacy, and yawned a lot when he talked about the domestic economy, and it was obvious that the topic he was talking about now was what he was interested in, so he was now very energetic, he said: "Even if the Soviet Union disintegrates and Russia weakens, I don't believe that the Chinese can so easily defeat the nuclear capability of Soviet Russia." We only see those silos, the Soviet Union, like China, has a large number of road-mobile ICBMs, their silos have been wiped out, why did their road-mobile missiles not fight back? ”

Powell doubted: "Is it that Soviet Russia does not have the courage to cause a real super-war?" ”

Cheney said: "I don't rule out this possibility, but with the current crazy situation of Soviet Russia, I don't think they will look ahead." And in this matter, there is a lot of fog, not only did the other nuclear forces of Soviet Russia not fight back, but also the Chinese hit those launch bases of Soviet Russia, why did not there happen at all? ”

"You think it's new technology?" Bush Sr. asked.

Also present was a senior adviser from DARPA, who said with a hesitant face: "China has indeed made incredible progress in the field of science and technology in recent years, and it is small to describe it as a long time." After all, the chain reaction is a very difficult physical and chemical phenomenon to reverse and control, and in particular, nuclear weapons are not the same as the nuclear reactors that generate power, they are extremely unstable, and it is almost impossible to prevent the occurrence of chain reactions to stop nuclear explosions. And, I would say, in fact, it was not only the nuclear explosion that did not happen, but even the huge explosion of the high-explosive warhead under normal ICBM bombardment. ”

The consultant took out another satellite image with a low resolution and showed it to several senior officials: "This is a picture taken by our spy satellite after one of the silos was attacked, although it is not very clear, but we can still see some clues." As you can see from the footage, the attack caused so much damage that even the ground looks like a devil has gnawed a big crater, and we estimate the depth to be at least thirty meters. But at the same time, we didn't find any evidence related to the explosion, such as fireworks and ashes, such as debris scattered after the explosion, it was clean here, there was nothing! ”

Cheney asked, "So what are your speculations?" ”

The adviser stammered and replied: "We don't have any ideas, but a scientist poached from the Soviet Union has speculated, and he thinks that there are only a few possibilities, but they all point to the Chinese developing a special new weapon." Some of us think that it may be an ultra-high temperature weapon that can vaporize objects instantly, but this expert said that if it is an ultra-high temperature weapon, then the ground will at least be ceramic, so this possibility is ruled out. Experts say that no matter what kind of weapon it is, this weapon is capable of disintegrating the existence of matter from the atomic level, so fundamentally it does not suppress chain reactions and nuclear explosions, but directly erases these substances......"

Powell pushed his chin and retorted: "Forgive me, although I am not a scientific expert, but when I was in school, I also heard about the law of conservation of energy and the law of mass and energy, and matter cannot be created or disappeared out of thin air, and your explanation just now clearly violates this law." ”

The consultant said helplessly: "Of course we know, but when Einstein proposed the theory of relativity, was classical physics different and overturned at some level?" ”

Powell laughed angrily and said, "If you say so, let's not do anything else, quickly find the Chinese and ask them how to break through the law of conservation of energy, and then build a perpetual motion machine together." ”

Anyway, no matter how you guess, the Chinese have found a way to offset the harm of nuclear explosions, although it is not necessarily said that it can completely offset the nuclear deterrence of other countries, but it is also a weakening, which also makes the United States very worried.

The elder Bush gave instructions: "In response to this problem, we must communicate with China, and weapons that can remove nuclear explosions are no less dangerous than real nuclear weapons." Well, and we can't just relax like this, although the Soviet Union has collapsed, but China's ambitions are also growing, and we must maintain a long-term lead in military science and technology in order to be able to defend our world leadership! ”

"By the way, that scientist from the Soviet Union seems to be very capable, take care of it, we need more geniuses to contribute to the prosperity of the United States!"

It's just that Bush Sr. didn't know how dangerous the former Soviet scientist he mentioned was to take more care of him......

――――

"Operation Thunder First Strike has come to an end, and the next stage of Operation Thunder Fury has entered the implementation stage!" Qi Yiming sat on his special throne and whispered, as if it wasn't a big deal.

Compared with the Thunder Pioneer, which paralyzed the Soviet Union's ability to use nuclear weapons, the scale, breadth, and depth of the Thunder Fury Operation will be qualitatively improved. Operation Thunder Fury was a large-scale air raid against Soviet Russia, the purpose of which was to hit high-value military targets of the Soviet Russian army, disintegrate the combat strength of the Soviet Russian army, and further reduce the morale of the Soviet Russian army. At the same time, the thunder attack is still a cover for the nuclear weapons controlled by Qi Yiming in the hands of the thunder first. Once the thunderous attack begins, it will be even more difficult for the Soviet and Russian forces to recapture these nuclear weapons, and they may even be blocked in their own camps, unable to move an inch, or even destroyed directly.

According to the combat deployment, the first wave of the offensive is to first hit the air defense forces of the Soviet and Russian armies, and although the air force and air defense units of the Soviet and Russian forces are now chaotic and their combat strength is sluggish, they may still cause losses to Qi Yiming's air force. Although it may be insignificant compared to the huge size of the army used by Qi Yiming, Qi Yiming is still unwilling to suffer this loss, and he will lose as little as he can.

Fighting air defense operations will have a more layered sense and advance layer by layer, from the border to the border, step by step, and finally dissolve the entire air defense network of Western Russia. Qi Yiming set up a three-layer combat area, and after the outermost layer was conquered, he continued to advance inward.

As in the Gulf, the enemy's air defense capabilities are mainly attacked by surface-to-surface missiles, stealth attack aircraft, and cruise missiles, supplemented by the Red Guard's powerful electronic warfare capabilities. Surface-to-surface missiles are not a problem, Qi Yiming has deployed a large number of V4 rockets in Siberia and Kazakhstan in the past few months, with a total of 240 V4 rocket launchers.

These accurate and highly maneuverable surface-to-surface missiles can efficiently hit enemy hard-point targets, such as radars, air defense positions, command posts, etc., and after a wave of attacks, they can immediately advance under the command, and then go down again. These surface-to-surface missiles are supplemented by the Air Force and the Navy's J-7 attack aircraft, and their efficient and powerful stealth penetration and strike capabilities have been proven in actual combat.

At the beginning, Qi Yiming's large-scale support for the ground attack fighters of the Air Force and the Navy were all taking a multi-purpose path, such as the J-10, J-9 and a number of fighters of different magnitudes, all of which had excellent ground capability. However, with the Qiang-7, the air raids of the aviation units have become more mature and high-end. The Raptors and Shadow Leopards are still involved in the air raids, but they have fallen to the level of the second wave of air raids under air superiority.

The Air Force's attack aircraft units can take off from Siberia and Kazakhstan, but the HNA attack aircraft units have a little other problems on their side. Although the Chinese expeditionary fleet arrived in the Black Sea, it did not mean that it could take off for battle. Because here in the Black Sea is not only the Chinese fleet, but also the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

Nominally, the Black Sea Fleet is loyal to Yeltsin, but from the beginning of the war to the present, the Russian Navy, including the Black Sea Fleet, is in a state of passive neutrality and non-participation in the war. But Qi Yiming could not tolerate the so-called neutral Black Sea Fleet squatting in Sevastopol as a presence fleet, and if the Navy wanted to fight, it was necessary to sweep away this stumbling block that hindered it.
