Chapter 472 472 New direction of fire strike
Somehow, Lao Maozi still refreshes people's perception of madness over and over again, and just when people think that Russia can't mess up any more, they tell you with mockery that they can indeed be more unreliable.
A 40-million-ton hydrogen bomb exploded over Grozny, and the Great Destroyer missile was set to a precise air blast at the center of the explosion with a radius of 2. Everything that exists within 5 kilometers is completely vaporized in an instant, and this area is the urban area of Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, where Dudayev moved many Chechens back after the two Chechen wars, but unexpectedly sent them directly to hell. Entire cities were wiped out, and the damage caused by a nuclear explosion was much more than that.
Within a radius of 5 kilometers from the center of the explosion is the fireball deflagration area, although the power of the explosion is not as terrifying as vaporization, but there is definitely only a dead end, almost no one can survive within this radius, be burned by the flames generated by the explosion, or directly split apart. The 20-kilometer radius of the airburst zone, which is shrouded in a huge mushroom cloud, is also unlikely to have a chance of survival. Because even if the heat is overcome, the shock wave from the explosion can shake people into a pile of meat sauce.
Almost the entire Chechen Republic and the neighboring Republic of Ingushetia were enveloped in a circle of thermal radiation from a nuclear explosion, and if the skin was exposed, even if it was tens of kilometers away from the explosion, it would cause terrible third-degree burns, and the intense light would blind people for a moment. People in this area will not necessarily die immediately, but radiation may take them away at any future day.
It is still impossible to fully count the number of casualties, but according to the authoritative estimates of the Red Alert base, 700,000 to 800,000 of the 1.1 million population of the Chechen Republic will die directly in this nuclear explosion, and the rest will die of radiation in a few days or years, which means that the Chechen nation will basically be wiped out.
And it is not only the Chechens who have suffered a terrible blow, but also the countries of Ingushetia, Dagestan, Kaba-Kache, Ossetia and other countries in the Caucasus have also suffered heavy blows, among which Ingushetia is the most tragic, because it is the closest to Chechnya, Ingushetia has suffered a blow that is not inferior to Chechnya, and this nation, which is itself smaller than Chechnya, has basically ceased to exist.
It was not the local republics of the Caucasus, or even Yeltsin, their nominal master, who reacted most violently to the nuclear attack, but the other remaining nuclear powers. US President George H.W. Bush immediately held an emergency televised speech, condemning this terrible "terrorist attack," saying that it was the greatest tragedy in human history, and that there was no such thing as a tragic and inhumane massacre by Makashev, and calling on all countries in the world to gather together to discuss a countermeasure to solve this problem. At the same time, Bush Sr. also said that the United States has the ability to protect its country and people.
The head of Celestial Empire No. 1 also reacted quickly, issuing a short statement during the day's trip, expressing strong concern about the deterioration of the situation in Russia, and saying that China has made all preparations to resist the nuclear radiation drifting from the North Caucasus, and hopes that the residents of the radiation-threatened areas will remain calm, and the party and the state will do everything to protect them from harm.
Great powers such as Britain, France, Germany, and Japan have all expressed their concerns to varying degrees, but so far no one has dared to say that they will immediately send troops to intervene in the situation of the Russian civil war.
More people are wondering why Makashev suddenly launched a 40 million ton yield super hydrogen bomb at Chechnya to wipe Chechnya off the face of the earth, because it is reasonable to see that Chechnya and Soviet Russia are both enemies of the Russian Federation, and the two sides should join forces.
Some believe that Makashev was demonstrating to Yeltsin and walking terror. If he really rebelled against Makashev, he might use a nuclear bomb to solve the problem, so that Yeltsin would not have any illusions and surrender honestly. This line of thinking is the same as when the United States dropped three atomic bombs on Japan at the end of World War II (one did not explode, and it was self-defeating), which was a decision made in order to avoid greater casualties when the victory was in hand, and the purpose was to set an example for the monkeys.
Although the guess was wrong, but the effect did have a part, the Russian army was shocked to hear that Soviet Russia dropped a super nuclear bomb on Chechnya, the morale plummeted, and there was a large number of desertions, Defense Minister Grachev had no choice but to strictly block the news and limit its spread in the army.
In order to avoid further deterioration of the situation, the US side had no choice but to bypass the incompetent Yeltsin and start making contact with Makashev, but after the secret envoy from the US State Council came to Samara, he could not even see Makashev at all, which greatly shocked the Americans.
Bush Sr.'s think tank suggested to him that he should join several other big hooligans in the Security Council to suppress Makashev and put more pressure on him to prevent him from continuing to do such unreliable things. Although the United States, China, Britain, France, Germany, Japan and other major world powers soon issued a joint statement, and even mentioned the International Atomic Energy Agency, the International Arms Control Association and the like, the Soviet Union and Russia are still the same, and they are not willing to click on it.
There is something like another plane in which Western countries faced Russia after the Crimean crisis in 2014. Russia swallowed Crimea alive, which is obviously not in line with the interests of the West, but Russia is pinching the pigtails of energy supply from European countries, and it is still a nuclear power, the military strength of the United States is declining, and military spending is shrinking, so that Oguanhai has no cards to play in the face of Putin except for mouth artillery. In the end, a series of so-called sanctions were offered, but they were not painful, and even if they were effective, it would be many years later.
The current Soviet Russia is like a hedgehog, clumped together, covered with thorns, and the tiger of the United States and the West wants to bite but has no way to bite it.
Probably only Qi Yiming's family in the world is really actively preparing to intervene in the situation, although Makashev's sudden frenzy and throwing a nuclear bomb also made him a little worried, but he still has a lot of countermeasures in his hands, and if he really wants to make a move, the enemy's chance to use nuclear weapons may be gone.
The more he left a crazy guy by his side, the more unsafe Qi Yiming felt, so it was better to end it as soon as possible.
He had already set up a large number of military facilities in Siberia and stationed the Red Police Corps, but he was still insufficient, and after Makashev dropped the nuclear bomb, Qi Yiming put his mind on the Black Sea coast. For the Red Guard Corps or PLA, firepower projection is a very important business, indeed Qi Yiming has prepared a large number of strategic rocket artillery units and surface-to-surface missile units, Siberia and Kazakhstan also have a large number of military airfields can be used, but basically the east and southeast are a route, and Western Russia is too large, this direction is not enough.
The PLA's navy has a large fleet and sufficient firepower to strike at it, but it is not easy to attack in the Arctic Ocean, so the only attack direction that can be chosen is the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. But Qi Yiming, the three Baltic states, obviously did not get a foothold so easily, but he had a puppet state around the Black Sea, Romania.
Romania is close to Russia, after the revolution did not have a good perception of the Soviet Union or Russia, now that Russia is in chaos, Romanians must be very worried about whether they will become victims, they will be worried that if they lend their place to the Chinese to attack Russia, they may be harmed, but there is no problem compared to the official bomb pressure.
Of course, Ukraine's position is more suitable, but there are several technical problems, first of all, Ukraine will definitely not be willing to enter the battle to attack Russia, the current Ukrainian army was still with the Russian army not long ago, and Russia's Black Sea Fleet is still in Sevastopol, how can China let its expeditionary fleet be stationed in the same place as Russia.
The place chosen by Qi Yiming is in Constanta on the west coast of the Black Sea, which is the largest port on the Black Sea and the terminus of the Danube Canal, and the port conditions are also good, because of the weakness of the Romanian Navy, there are not too many naval facilities here, and it will take some effort to transform it into a suitable naval base.
And Qi Yiming feels that even if Constanta continues to be retained as an overseas base after the war, it is not unavoidable, after all, the Black Sea also has a great strategic position, and it is also a deterrent to Ukraine, Russia and other countries. After this thought came together, Qi Yiming was out of control. Anyway, taking Constanta as a base for the Chinese Navy is just a matter of his explanation, Yang? Romania, where Iliescu was in power, was subservient to him.
Considering that the main demand for the war against Russia is not the projection of troops but the projection of firepower, Qi Yiming believes that at least one aircraft carrier battle group should be sent over, and the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Hebei built by the big ship has been officially put into service, but it will still be surprising that it is put into use so quickly. At this time, Qi Yiming didn't care about whether he was shocked or not, the Hubei and Shandong aircraft carriers built by the base, if necessary, he also needed to show them.
When Qi Yiming was enthusiastically devoting himself to the cause of plotting to teach Lao Maozi a lesson, a piece of news came that Chechnya had been razed and that Makashev's Soviet Russian army, with the assistance of the Safin Brigade of the Mystic Palace troops, had successfully conquered Moscow and occupied the capital of Russia. Yeltsin and his henchmen fled to St. Petersburg before the city was breached, while most of the Russian officials were arrested by the Russian army, and the balance of war was tilted in a serious favor of the Russians.
