Chapter 0591 Verification

During the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union produced 'supersaturated' nuclear weapons, enough to destroy humanity dozens of times.

The cost of manufacturing and maintaining a nuclear arsenal is enormous, and it is a heavy burden for the national strength of both countries. Thus, in the seventies, the two sides began to hold consultations on the issue of nuclear disarmament.

In '87, the United States and the Soviet Union concluded the "Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty", which stipulated that the two sides would destroy ballistic missiles with a range of 500 to 5,500 kilometers.

Essentially, neither side wants a nuclear war, so they will compromise. However, it is easy to sign treaties, but it is difficult to implement.

First, it depends on the fighting methods of the intelligence systems of the two sides. Before the inspection, it is necessary to find out the size and location of the other side's nuclear plants, nuclear vehicles, and nuclear arsenals.

Second, it is necessary to send verification personnel to each other's sites for on-the-spot confirmation to ensure basic mutual trust. But it was precisely the essential mistrust that led the United States and the Soviet Union to often accuse each other of violating the treaty.

Little girl Meghan is an employee of the DOD in the United States. The superiors didn't know what news they had gotten, and felt that she was too idle, so they threw her to Ermao's house to be the verification and safety officer of the nuclear arsenal.

The engine of the Mi-8 helicopter rumbled overhead, and Meghan wore an in-flight communications helmet and looked down from the window of the cabin.

From Moscow to Kiev and from Kiev to Kharkov. The vast plains are endless.

During World War II, a series of important battles took place between the Soviet Union and Germany in Kharkiv. The flat terrain here is suitable for armored forces to launch an assault.

The T-34 tank was beaten to the ground by the 'Tiger', and the German power reached its peak here.

In the decades that followed, Mao Zi could sometimes find abandoned weapons and equipment from a muddy pond or sparse forest in the plains.

Everything from guns and ammunition to armored fighting vehicles.

Looking down from the Mi-8 now, the ground of the Balakliya camp is filled with stacks of weapons and ammunition in the open air. The wind and rain were blowing, and the wooden ammunition boxes were mostly rotten, revealing the shells encapsulated inside.

Like Zhou Qingfeng, Meghan can't understand who is so bold?

Daniel sat next to her, saw the doubts on her face, and said with a smile: "The production department is only in charge of production, and the transportation department is only in charge of transportation."

When the materials arrived in the hands of the receiving department, they found that there was not enough storage capacity, so they could only be stacked at will. In fact, it is a disjointed management.

Ammunition stacked in the open is still relatively rare. But if you've ever been to a transport station in Moscow, you'll often find that the lack of vegetables and fruits in the market is piled up in the station's warehouse, and it can only rot **.

Twenty or thirty percent of the country's crops are lost in the field or in storage, but they never care. Because none of these losses exist in the report.

The same goes for these munitions. They're there on the report, but what actually happens is God knows. ”

Daniel grinned, and Meghan pursed her mouth. When the little girl is sent to be a security officer, it is like being exiled. It's a chore.

Her U.S. inspection team also came this time with a special mission - Eagle Sauce wanted to spend money to buy the Soviet nuclear arsenal that was about to be inherited by Ermao.

In fact, by January of 92, that is, a few months later, Ermao began to gradually transfer the nuclear warhead in his hand to Da Mao.

At that time, the brothers were on good terms.

By 94, Ermao announced under the 'persuasion' of the US side that he would eliminate all nuclear warheads in his possession, blow up all silos, and dismember all long-range missiles.

The nuclear arsenal built by Mao Xiong after decades of struggle, spending hundreds of millions of dollars and infinite manpower, has been dismantled.

The Mi-8 landed, and Meghan was accompanied by a US inspection team of more than a dozen people. The Soviet side came to greet a colonel named Isakov. In the eyes of the little foreign girl, this old-fashioned Soviet soldier did not welcome their arrival.

On the other hand, Zhou Qingfeng and Ma Keshi, who were still studying thick pipes in front of the T-80, were not treated well. A while ago, they were guests of honor.

In the blink of an eye, several armed soldiers with guns shouted and ordered them to leave immediately, and even pushed and shoved, as if they were afraid that they would be seen a few seconds later.

This time, Zhou Qingfeng was very obedient and obediently followed the soldiers in the camp. At most, he glanced at Marcose.

The latter took out a pack of 'camel' cigarettes from his pocket and asked the escorting soldiers: "Hey, brother, what's going on?" There's no need to panic. ”

The escorted soldiers were babbling at first, their guns shaking, refusing to be corrupted by outsiders. But after walking a distance, without the officers staring, they naturally took the cigarette in Marcose's hand and smoked one beautifully.

The lighter was a little bit, the cigarette was sprayed outward, and the escort soldiers themselves did not move. Zhou Qingfeng followed them and sat casually on a pile of ammunition boxes, swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

For people with monotonous lives, nothing soothes the spirit like smoking and drinking. Maozi's reputation for alcoholism is known all over the world, not only because of the cold winter, but also because of the depression in his heart.

"What's going on?" Marcos asked again. He had the face of a Slav, and it was much easier to deal with ordinary soldiers than Zhou Qingfeng.

The escorted soldier sat lazily and said casually: "The American inspectors are here." They're going to cross the road they just had. ”

"Check what?"

"We have nuclear warheads here."

"Oh my God, there are nuclear warheads here? Where is it? Is it dangerous? Marcos deliberately screamed in fear, looking around in fear.

The soldiers escorted had no military demeanor and morale, and they laughed when they saw Marcose's funny appearance. Someone said nonchalantly: "Our arsenal is divided into two floors: surface and underground. Nuclear warheads in underground warehouses. ”

"Underground?" Marcos stared at the turf under his feet, stomped it, and continued to ask, "What does the underground storehouse look like?" ”

The soldiers refused to say anything, and only cared about smoking.

Zhou Qingfeng interjected on the side, "What does this have to do with us?" ”

"The colonel said you can't let the Americans see you." A soldier turned his head to look at Zhou Qingfeng, "We have a very high level of secrecy here, and outsiders should not come in." ”

Zhou Qingfeng and Ma Keshi glanced at each other, and the latter shouted to the soldiers with understanding: "Don't worry, brother, we are businessmen and don't cause trouble." I still have some good liquor in my car, would you like to have some of it? ”

At the mention of 'wine', several soldiers were excited. They sent two men to take Marcose to find a drink. Leaving the two of them staring at Zhou Qingfeng.

Zhou Qingfeng lazily leaned on an ammunition box, looking very well-behaved. But the seven goblins that followed him had long since scattered and separated, gathering information inside and outside the arsenal.

The virtual Sophia even dives underground, trying to penetrate the thick layer of soil to find the hidden storehouse.

At this moment, Meghan, as a US inspector, has just walked into the gate of the Balakliya camp.

Compared with the laziness that Zhou Qingfeng saw when he came, the camp at this moment is densely packed with power grids, neat sentry posts, and a scene of heavy guards.

The verification team is mainly composed of professional nuclear physics experts, and Meghan is just a foil. She presented her identification to the camp guards and took their gaze.

The entire Balakliya camp is full of men, and the sudden arrival of a beautiful chick is really eye-catching.

Meghan has long been accustomed to being stared at, and she responds calmly, even not forgetting to say thank you to the camp guard who is in charge of accompanying her.

The little foreign girl's smile was sweet and cute, and the guards facing her felt that they had lost half of their souls and were charmed. She asked even more casually: "Do you have anyone else here?" ”

The guard was laughing at Megan, and when he heard this, he was stunned, opened and closed his mouth, and only continued to laugh twice.

Megan's expression darkened on the spot.
