Except for the top-secret combat readiness duty troops, no one will pull out nuclear warheads every day to play. They are often stored in arsenals known only to a few senior officers, and warheads and vehicles have to be separated.

This is also why ballistic missile nuclear submarines are powerful. Because only it can hide in the depths of the ocean and maintain combat readiness for a long time. Neither land-based nor air-based nuclear vehicles will work.

Zhou Qingfeng ran to the territory of the woolly bear in a daze, and he didn't know where to find highly enriched nuclear materials.

Let Marcos explore the way, and this Russian agent did not dare to ask casually. This kind of news is too sensitive, and at most he found the Soviet Red Army's compilation table and calculated where to get his hands on tactical nuclear weapons?

Nuclear mines, nuclear shells, nuclear suitcases, these are not practical, they have not been equipped on a large scale, and most of them have been 'destroyed' in nuclear disarmament.

Marco's search and search, in fact, there are only two goals.

A 'frog-7' tactical rocket, officially codenamed 9K52. Its vehicle is a 9P113 wheeled three-purpose launcher with a body converted from an 8-by-8 military truck. It has tactical nuclear warheads.

Soviet rocket artillery was equipped with this stuff in the sixties and eighties. If you want to do it, just go to Grozny. Maozi lost two 'Frog-7' systems when he evacuated.

But Grozny does not have nuclear warheads.

The other is even more powerful, the SS-21 'Scarab-B' short-range tactical missile. Its range is 120 kilometers, and its circular error is 10 meters, which is quite accurate with conventional warheads.

In the famous 'West-81' exercise, Mao Xiong simulated 141 tactical nuclear strikes against NATO's defense line in West Germany with SS-21 and other tactical missiles.

Its applicable nuclear warheads range from 100 to 10,000 tons, which are enough to forcibly tear through enemy lines.

And this front-line tactical nuclear weapon is equipped in several elite units of the Kyiv Military District. For example, the 107th Rocket Artillery Regiment under the 6th Guards Tank Army.

According to the information obtained by Marcose, Zhou Qingfeng traveled thousands of miles to Kiev under the sign of doing business and with the help of Chuikov as an intermediary.

The commander of the Kiev Military District, General Chechevatov, did not refuse his visit. But Colonel Isakov, who was in charge of the contact, seemed to have a grudge and wanted to give Zhou Qingfeng a threat.

People who have been in the army for a long time are masculine and awe-inspiring, and it is easy to have a non-intimidating and angry bearing. Colonel Isaac has been in the army for more than 20 years, and ordinary recruits see him like 'mice and cats'.

In daily life, the colonel can easily rely on a serious gaze to make ordinary people feel pressure, and even give in. But after staring at Zhou Qingfeng for a few seconds, the colonel felt slightly dizzy.

The accumulated momentum was suddenly shattered.

The colonel couldn't help but close his eyes and hold on to the table at hand. When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Qingfeng also restrained his laughing expression, and said in a deep voice: "If you are not in a hurry, I can talk about it tomorrow." But if you're in a hurry......"

"What can you bring us as a businessman?" The colonel was instinctively disgusted by Zhou Qingfeng's arrival. This guy wants to loot the weapons and equipment that the Soviets have spent a lot of money on to build.

Real soldiers cannot accept this disarmed-like desecration.

Zhou Qingfeng immediately asked, "What do you want?" ”

The colonel's expression darkened, and his hard shoulders slackened. He held on to the desk in his hand again, his breathing becoming disorganized.

What do you want? I want to be strong forever!

Far from Moscow, Kyiv's hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers stationed there are in the midst of an absurd drama as they watch the Holy Alliance, which they have sworn to defend with their lives, collapse.

The Alliance's costly, even militaristic, armed forces that have spent so much money for decades have failed to make any difference. The fortress was breached from within, and the frustration of the sky falling apart hit the heart of every soldier.

On the 22nd of August, a veteran of World War II, a Hero of the Soviet Union, a marshal of the Soviet Army, and chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Union, who defended Leningrad......

Sergei. Fedorovich. Akhromeyev, who committed suicide in his office in the Kremlin's No. 1 building. In his suicide note, he wrote:

"When the motherland is about to perish, and the whole meaning of my life is destroyed, I can no longer live, my age and the course of my life have given me the right to die, and I fight to the last breath of my life."

This is a veteran who joined the Soviet Red Army at the age of seventeen, participated in the most tragic World War II, and fought the German invaders in the ice and snow. He laid out all the plans for the invasion of Afghanistan and rose from the lowest level all the way up to the rank of marshal.

Akhromeyev was undoubtedly a spiritual symbol of Soviet officers and soldiers. His death was like an exploding nuclear bomb, shocking and bursting, breaking the will of the army.

Colonel Isaac would rather take part in a mortal battle and give his life on the battlefield, even if he is nameless after his death, than face a greedy foreign bandit like Zhou Qingfeng.

Zhou Qingfeng asked, 'What do you want', but the colonel didn't know what to want? Maybe he wants to turn back the clock and restore things to the way things were, giving the Alliance a chance to right its mistakes, purge its corrupted flesh, and regain its vitality.

But now there is only confusion and remorse.

"I can provide a shipment of gold." Zhou Qingfeng took the initiative to speak, and he shouted outside the office door: "Marco, go and bring the boxes I brought." ”

There was an answer outside the door, and after a while, footsteps returned, and there was a knock on the door.

The soldiers guarding the door came in with four heavy boxes, clattering on the large desk. Zhou Qingfeng opened it himself, and it was full of yellow gold bars.

But Colonel Isaac didn't look at it at all, and he even snorted coldly with contempt.

Zhou Qingfeng had to say for the other party: "The soldiers under your command will not go with you, they are locals." You need this gold. ”

That's right, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Kiev Military District will become Ermao's defense army next year. The soldiers did not even have to change their uniforms, and the equipment was ready-made.

The only ones who had to leave were the top senior officers, who were going back to Moscow to take up new positions. Even Colonel Isakov.

In this case, what can be expected of a few 'patriots'? The generals are eager to sell what they can sell as soon as possible, and at this time cash is king, and gold is better.

It's just that the colonel didn't touch the four suitcases, he asked the soldier to close the boxes and carry them out of the office, said coldly to Zhou Qingfeng, 'Wait here', turned around and left.

Marcos, who was stopped at the door, entered the office and whispered, "Boss, the gold just now is worth millions of dollars." You just send it like this? ”

The dollar is still worth a lot of money today, and a million dollars is a huge fortune, enough to make a comfortable life – provided that prices don't rise in 30 years.

Zhou Qingfeng shook his head with a wry smile, Ma Keshi couldn't figure out his thoughts.

After a full hour, Colonel Isaac returned. This time a major general came behind him. The latter said in a more arrogant commanding tone: "Mr. Zhou, we agree to make a deal with you.

You can buy whatever gear you like for a reasonable price, but you have to pay for it in dollars and gold. ”

Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, "Those gold are to repay the friendship of General Chechevatov. As for the equipment in your warehouse, I can only pay for it with light industrial products. ”

The new major general frowned and said in a cold voice: "Then the cost of your friendship is far from enough. ”

"If you want more friendship, how much gear you can give me? Open your arsenals, I'll need to pick and choose. ”
