In the secret convalescent villa of the Jingshi, Qi Yiming met the long-lost Great Elder. In front of the Great Elder, Qi Yiming was still very obedient, especially since the two were still a family, and the political legacy of the Great Elder was basically inherited by him, so he was closer.

The Great Elder lit a cigarette, had a cup of strong tea in his hand, sat in a very simple cloth sofa, and asked quite seriously, "Are you sure?" This time it's not a small fight, you have to cross most of Eurasia, all the way to Europe, and the opponent is the country that once made us dig holes and accumulate food, what are the odds? ”

Qi Yiming sat more respectfully, only half of his butt fell on the stool, and he said: "The current Russia and the Soviet Union are two different things, not to mention that Siberia and the Far East are now on our side, and the strength of Western Russia alone is less than one-tenth of that of the Soviet Union, and besides, Russia is now in chaos." Soviet Russia dropped a hydrogen bomb in the North Caucasus, and the crops in the Volga River basin, which is the breadbasket of Russia, were basically destroyed this year due to the effects of radiation, not to mention the heavy losses. Russia's economy has withered to the point of misery, and now they are unable to restore production and order, and can only fight a civil war with all their might.

Yeltsin basically played, he went to St. Petersburg, and his appeal in Russia would immediately fall to the freezing point. And Makashev's blatant use of nuclear weapons to attack ethnic minorities has aroused the anger of Russians, both Russians and minorities, and he is also unpopular. Moreover, no matter how I look at Soviet Russia, I feel that there is a problem in it, and it is probably not a good thing to keep such a regime in the world, and it is the best choice to take advantage of his illness to kill him. ”

The Great Elder spat out a smoke ring, then nodded, and asked leisurely, "How many troops do you plan to use, and have you thought about how much it will cost?" ”

This is also the thing that the Great Elder is most worried about, and now the Celestial Empire army is also a big business, and the Gulf War was fought at the end of the year before last, and there were several Gulf countries that paid for the military expenses there, so the financial pressure is not great, but this time to fight Russia, it must be another matter. Although the state military expenditure now has 200 billion yuan of military spending, but the cost is not as generous as in the previous two years, all kinds of equipment and weapons have now begun to be purchased in a unified manner, no longer provided by Qi Yiming for free, and personnel costs have recently risen with social development, so if you want to fight a war, you must open special funds.

Qi Yiming replied: "The main force of this battle is still the force of the Strategy Bureau, which will probably dismantle part of the air force and part of the navy, but the ground force will be led by the 1.2 million army on my side." As for the financial problem, the Ministry of Defense has prepared a special budget of 50 billion yuan for this matter, and I will also bear part of it, and if we can control the problem within three months, it will not cause too much financial burden. ”

Qi Yiming said quite slyly: "And we are fighting Western Russia this time, and the biggest reward is to play out the peace of our north for at least twenty years, so that Russia will not be able to be a military power again for at least half a century, in addition, even if you go to Russia for tourism, you have to bring back some souvenirs, don't you always say?" ”

The Great Elder was amused by Qi Yiming, and nodded at him and scolded with a smile: "You, you, you are really not greedy now, a large area of forests in the Far East has been taken down, the cultivated land of the Siberian Plain has been taken down, and later it was changed to the super oil field of Tyumen, I really don't know how many things you have to get to be satisfied, or whether the small pond of the earth is not enough for you big shark to pounce." ”

Qi Yiming also quipped: "If it's really not enough, I'll change the place to toss." ”

The two joked, and the Great Elder asked him again, "You mainly use the power of your Strategy Bureau, and I don't need to worry too much." But if Makashev is really going crazy by you, how can we attack us with a nuclear bomb like before? ”

Qi Yiming was also a little more serious, and said: "Our side has already prepared a countermeasure, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, almost all the republics have been allocated nuclear warheads, and the Far East, Siberia and Kazakhstan under our control have a total of more than 12,000 nuclear warheads, and we have obtained a total of about 1 through exchanges with Makashev and some other means." 60,000 Soviet nuclear warheads. This is more than 60 per cent of the Soviet legacy, and most of these nuclear weapons are equipped on our nuclear vehicles after they have been dismantled, inspected and extended. Now our country's nuclear arsenal already has more than 2. 30 thousand nuclear warheads, already more than the nominal 1 of the United States. 90,000 pieces, making it the world's largest nuclear power.

Most of Russia's existing nuclear warheads are still in Yeltsin's hands, but due to lack of funds and poor supervision, our intelligence units have judged that about 20% of Russia's nuclear weapons have lost their combat effectiveness, and what is even more worrying is that some nuclear weapons may even be purchased by people with intentions and transferred to other countries, posing a serious threat to world security.

When Makashev exchanged the agreement, he transferred 500 nuclear warheads to us, and the number of them in his own hands would not exceed 1,000, while Yeltsin's side was full of calculations, tactical nuclear warheads and strategic nuclear warheads, which may add up to 4,000, which is almost usable. Basically, the sea-based nuclear forces of Russia's North Sea Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet pose no threat to us, they are all turtles in the urn, and it is necessary to destroy them deliberately and easily.

The greater threat is Russia's strategic air force and strategic rocket forces, and the two Russia together can make up about 1,000 ballistic missiles that can use SS-11, SS-17, SS-24 and so on, which seems to be very large, but considering the current erosion of the Russian strategic forces, I think the threat level will drop to a lower level than we imagined. As for air-based strategic nuclear weapons, they are relatively easy to defend against, because the two Russians simply do not have bombers that we cannot detect or shoot.

Even for ballistic missiles, with the missile warning and surveillance system we have established, and the anti-ballistic missile weapons that are densely distributed throughout the country and in dependent countries, we have the ability to block even if the two Russia launch a full-scale nuclear strike. What's more, active defense is not our best choice, once we start fighting against Russia, our special combat personnel will immediately be dispatched to disarm the Russian army's nuclear weapons, and the Russian army's fixed silos, rocket forces bases and other facilities will be the targets of our first round of strikes.

Moreover, in order to interrupt the high-level orders of the enemy to launch nuclear weapons that can be authorized to use nuclear weapons, we will use the most advanced communication obstruction technology to force the Russian military to directly launch nuclear weapons without their authorization, and cannot use nuclear weapons without authorization, and ultimately we can minimize the number of nuclear weapons launched by the Russian military in the event of a nuclear attack, so as to reduce the difficulty of our interception. ”

After hearing this, the Great Elder couldn't help but nod his head and said, "It's good that you can think of so much, I actually don't really believe that the Russian army dares to use atomic bombs against us, after all, we are not Chechnya, but this really can't be guarded against." That Yeltsin didn't plant, don't worry too much, but this Makashev exudes an evil spirit, if possible, first get rid of this person, cut off the nuclear capabilities of the Soviet Russian army, and he is also at ease.

Hmph, even if it really doesn't work, we're not afraid of a real nuclear war, you said, we now have more than 20,000 nuclear weapons, enough to destroy the earth several times, and destroying Russia is just a matter of raising our hands, if they don't know each other, we'll destroy them! ”

Qi Yiming laughed a few times, he couldn't tell if the Great Elder was joking or serious. The Great Elder is almost 90 years old, and sometimes he has the same unique paranoia as ordinary old people, and since the last term, he has not been very careful, mainly asking about major economic reforms, and he basically does not ask much about the strategic layout of foreign countries.

In fact, Qi Yiming is much more afraid than the Great Elder, and this battle can be achieved if it is not fought, but Qi Yiming is very worried that if he does not fight, it will really let Makashev get all of Western Russia, which may pose a challenge to the new North Asian and Central Asian order that he has established. And Makashev is obviously supported by the Mystic Palace, and he was able to fight the Federal Russian Army so quickly, which is inseparable from the mysterious and special Safin Brigade. If the Mystic Palace comes out through Makashev's shell, it may bring even greater disasters to the country in the future.

In addition, there is another important reason why Qi Yiming wants to fight this battle, that is, his red police base has not been upgraded for a long time, although he has also participated in some wars in recent years, such as the subjugation operation on Taiwan Island, such as the operation of the red police unit mixed in Afghanistan and other places, and his red police force also showed a small face in the Gulf War, but it is much more difficult to upgrade from level 2 to level 3 base than level 1 to level 2, and if you don't fight a large-scale war, I am afraid I don't know how long it will last.

It is true that the various technologies and forces of the level 2 base have made Qi Yiming and the Celestial Empire proud of the world, although they are now "accustomed" to the United States, but in fact, from all angles, Qi Yiming's power is enough to beat the United States out. But as a comrade who has a persistent pursuit and love for rioters, what a loving sport is a battle that can be fought with an army of 10 million, without an army of 1 million!

The level of science and technology in the level 2 base is basically high-tech, and after being promoted to level 3, it will be a proper black technology, and more superheroes and new functions will also appear, Qi Yiming is very much looking forward to it.

However, in order to upgrade the base and bring the country into a war that could lead to a nuclear war, Qi Yiming is also hesitant. There are advantages to fighting, and there are advantages to not fighting, Qi Yiming weighed the pros and cons and thought that the benefits of fighting were greater.

He also felt that after this war, if China won, although the skin between China and the United States will not be completely torn off, it will definitely be difficult to return to the previous honeymoon state.
