Four or five years ago, the Americans were still very satisfied with China's "little brother," and they would follow themselves in everything and help contain the Soviet Union; although the country was not small and had a large population, it was poor and backward, and there would not be much danger. But when the Soviet Union fell, the Americans looked back and saw that this was not the case.

As more and more intelligence from the Russian side came back, the Americans were even more on pins and needles. China defeated Russia in a major war and seized most of the Soviet-era military and technological legacy. Although the United States has already harvested a round of NATO brothers before this, how much more can it harvest more than 3,000 T-80 tanks? Can you harvest hundreds of dangerous bombers?

The United States does not know how many good things the Chinese have taken away, but the thought of the already strong China eating most of the Soviet legacy, it is already clear that China is definitely the first threat to challenge the US world hegemony in the future.

Originally, in the early 90s, the United States cut a lot of military budgets and plans because of its own pursuit of defeat, and also downsized its own military scale. But up to now, the Americans have not dared to relax their vigilance in the slightest, and many people have already shouted such slogans as "the Cold War has never ended," even though China and the United States are still allies in name.

There is also a particularly painful thing, the United States went to great lengths to sign the START agreement (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) with the Soviet Union, but then the collapse of the Soviet Union, the division of various union republics, and the Russian civil war put the world on the brink of nuclear war for a time. After China's intervention, the security situation improved, but the dangerous situation in the United States has not changed, because the vast majority of Soviet nuclear warheads were received by the Chinese!

When the SCO was established a while ago, the first military cooperation agreement signed was that Siberia, the Far East, and Kazakhstan would give up their nuclear weapons, hand them over to China, or destroy them, and China would provide them with a nuclear umbrella. It is conservatively estimated that at least 5,000 nuclear warheads will fall into the hands of China, and if you add to this the fact that China has made it from Russia, the Americans exclaim that China's nuclear arsenal is rapidly approaching their own.

Of course, these calculations are rather wishful thinking, saying that since the independence of the three countries, their nuclear weapons have been taken over by China. And China's nuclear arsenal is not less than that of the United States, but more than half of it.

The United States does not care about Russia's problems at this time, and has frequent contacts with China, hoping to sign a Sino-American version of START with China, which simply means that China will take Russia's place and abolish its nuclear weapons with the United States. Another task is to coordinate the issue of nuclear weapons in Ukraine and Belarus.

The situation in Belarus is better, the number is not large, and the attitude of cooperation is better. Among them, Ukraine has more nuclear warheads than Britain and France, with a total of more than 3,000 strategic and tactical nuclear warheads.

The only disagreement now is what to do with these nuclear warheads, which were supposed to be sent back to Russia. However, China has tossed so many methods back and forth, and finally the number of Russian nuclear warheads has dropped to about 100, and most of them are sea-based. If Ukraine were to turn these nuclear warheads back to Russia, China's previous efforts would be in vain. The United States is also reluctant to arm Russia with nuclear weapons again.

Representatives of China and the United States have conducted several rounds of negotiations, and there is no room for a small coffee like Ukraine to interfere in this kind of matter. The initial intention is that these nuclear warheads will be dismantled and destroyed after supervision, and the resulting nuclear fuel will be purchased from Ukraine by China and the United States at normal prices for its own nuclear power generation.

Of course, no one can say whether these weapons-grade nuclear materials will be used to generate electricity or continue to build nuclear bombs.

These contents are easy to talk about, but what is not easy to talk about is the issue of nuclear disarmament between China and the United States. The restrictions on the US-Soviet agreement were that in the first phase, the number of warheads of all types on both sides would be reduced to 6,000 (bombers and their missiles should be converted according to certain standards), the number of warheads for intercontinental ballistic missiles would be limited to less than 2,500, the number of intercontinental missile delivery vehicles would be reduced to 1,600, and heavy weapons such as the SS-18 would be limited to less than 110.

In other words, this condition was not fulfilled in another plane until 2015.

In fact, it doesn't matter how such a treaty is signed, because everyone knows that in the end, neither side will implement it completely. China ate the vast majority of the Soviet Union's nuclear warheads, and its nuclear arsenal has swelled to about 30,000 nuclear warheads, and the vast majority of nuclear warheads and nuclear equipment have been recovered and remade by crushing cranes and turned into new Chinese nuclear weapons, which can be stored in Qi Yiming's frozen space.

The general conditions of the nuclear disarmament agreement proposed by China are that the total number of nuclear warheads will be reduced to 10,000, the number of strategic warheads will be reduced to 3,000, the number of intercontinental delivery vehicles will be reduced to 2,000, and the possession of heavy weapons such as SS-18 will be banned.

The Second Artillery Corps routinely has 200 DF-41 land-based ICBMs, 300 DF-31A missiles, more than 20 fixed DF-5 missiles, and the Navy has about 400 Julang-3 ICBMs. With missiles at a range of about 8000-9000 km, there are 600 DF-31s in the Second Artillery and 100 Julang-2 in the Navy. If the bombers of the Air Force are converted into nuclear warheads, China's strategic nuclear weapons are now about 2,000.

Well, these are nuclear weapons built by China itself, and the Soviet Union has not counted them. If you count those that you get from Russia, you basically have to multiply this number by 3.

The current intercontinental nuclear vehicles of the United States are generally not much more than this number, after all, the cost of building an intercontinental missile is extremely high, and the United States cannot afford such a method of burning even if it has money.

Although there were some differences between the plan proposed by China and the previous plan of the Soviet Union, the Americans still accepted it. They even secretly rejoice that the Chinese are willing to abandon their martial arts, because the United States will certainly not honestly reduce nuclear weapons to the required number.

But even so, it won't be too much, and the main tricks may be in type and power. Moreover, if it is really needed, the US nuclear weapons production capacity is also quite terrifying. However, if it is really a full-scale nuclear war, perhaps the production capacity of nuclear weapons is actually a useless thing.

While the United States is calling for China's nuclear disarmament, it is stepping up its own efforts to develop newer and more powerful nuclear weapons vehicles. This year, the US military test-fired the Trident D5 submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile several times, and all of them were successfully test-fired. In fact, this is a naked deterrent, and the United States has a large underwater nuclear weapons launch platform and a strategic nuclear submarine force. China's rapid expansion has put pressure on the United States, and it is necessary for them to let the Chinese know that even if they are strong, the United States is still stronger.

Qi Yiming also knows that the so-called nuclear weapons capability of the United States, those Minutemen-3 and Guardians of Peace in the land-based silos, can be eliminated with vacuum implosion bombs or neutron bombs in the first round (the fast neutron flow formed by the neutron bomb will have a canceling effect on the nuclear reaction, change the structure of the atomic nucleus, and thus prevent the nuclear explosion, PS is a purely theoretical weapon, I don't know if it will work). As for those bombers, Qi Yiming looked down on them even more, and he was very confident in the air defense within 300 kilometers outside the country. So it's a little troublesome that the Ohio class in the United States or something.

Build a more mature anti-submarine system, and even put high-cost monitoring devices in the oceans, so as to grasp the movements of the enemy's nuclear submarines at the first time when a nuclear war breaks out. At present, the Navy's biggest task in attacking nuclear submarines is to search for US strategic nuclear submarines in the ocean, and for this reason, at least 10 attack nuclear submarines are cruising in the sea areas where US strategic nuclear submarines are often active.

For China, maintaining the scale of its existing domestic nuclear weapons is enough to deter any enemy, and it is mainly the tactical nuclear weapons that need to be improved. In addition to small-yield explosive tactical nuclear weapons, the Second Artillery hopes to be equipped with more effect-tailored bombs, that is, third-generation nuclear weapons based on neutron bombs, shock wave bombs, and electromagnetic pulse bombs. These tactical nuclear weapons are mainly carried by land-based short- and medium-range ballistic missiles, sea-based cruise missiles, air-based air-to-surface missiles and guided bombs.

The surplus part, that is, the nuclear warheads looted from the Soviet Union, were either used to generate electricity after processing, or they were made into new Chinese-made nuclear weapons by Qi Yiming. It is worth mentioning that the Soviet Union secretly manufactured a super-heavy ballistic missile "Big Destroyer" that can accommodate 40 million to 50 million yields. Then the original design was improved and supplemented, and the Chinese version of the super-heavy cottage destroyer was developed, codenamed "Chiyou".

The Chiyou missile is slightly smaller than the Great Destroyer, adopts a newer power system, and the structural strength of the missile has also been enhanced by the improvement of materials, with a range of 15,000 kilometers, and its ability to change orbit and maneuver and resist electromagnetic interference have been improved. To create such a large firecracker, Qi Yiming was also a little uneasy, after all, the human tragedy caused by the Great Destroyer happened not long ago, and the power of Chiyou was 50 million tons, which was even more powerful than the Great Destroyer. It is contrary to the trend of modern nuclear weapons to develop a yield of less than 100,000 tons, which is basically used for slaughter, not for war.

Although he doesn't want the Chiyou missile to be used, Qi Yiming still plans to make 10 of these missiles, in the most extreme case, this kind of missile will be used to destroy the country, and when the country and the nation are facing the greatest threat, use this big guy, Qi Yiming probably will not have any hesitation.
