Southwest of country R, city O.

General Goryunov, commander of the Strategic Rocket Forces of Country R, hurried to the secret barracks on the outskirts of the city, but was stopped by a detachment of guards at the entrance to the underground fortifications.

"I'm sorry, General Goryunov, Your Excellency the President is holding an important meeting, you can't go in now!" The captain of the guard said.

"Get out of here!" Goryunov angrily exclaimed, "Let me in!" What I want to say to Your Excellency the President is a hundred times more important than they are! ”

The commander's aggressive, bearded and glaring appearance made the captain of the guard in charge of the guard lose his confidence, and he glanced back in the direction of the underground passage with some embarrassment, and tried to persuade him: "Your Excellency, General, I think the meeting will end soon, please wait a while!" ”

"No, I can't wait a minute or a second!" Goryunov did not budge, "You hurry up and go in and inform the president, just say that I have 100,000 urgent military intelligence to report to him!" ”

"This ......" the captain of the guard hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Alright! I'm going to report now, so please wait here! ”

"Go!" Goryunov urged loudly behind his back.

The captain of the guard walked to the entrance of the underground fortifications and made a call, and in less than half a minute, he walked back and said to Goryunov: "General, please come with me!" ”

Goryunov immediately followed him briskly into the underground passage, and in his sturdy and rudimentary underground office, more than 30 meters deep, he met the current president of country R, Denikin, who sat on a leather chair with a haggard face.

"What's so urgent, Klya?"

Before Goryunov could speak, Denikin was already preemptively asking questions. It's a time of war, and everyone doesn't have time to greet and greet, and everything is straight to the point.

"Your Excellency, I'm here to ask you for advice!" Goryunov said, "The battle of M-city has been lost, what should we do next?" ”

Denikin said, "What else can I do?" Keep fighting, of course! ”

"Your Excellency, of course I know to keep fighting!" Goryunov said, "The key is how to fight?" I've heard that the Battle of M City has wiped out our mech troops, and the reserve army can't be formed for a while, what are you going to do to stop those damn robot rebels? ”

Denikin glanced at him and said, "Kolya, what exactly do you want to say?" Let's talk about it. ”

Goryunov said: "Your Excellency, in view of the current critical situation, I suggest that we immediately kill the killers and use nuclear weapons to strike at the robot rebels!" Can't hesitate any longer! ”

Hearing this, Denikin frowned slightly and said, "Kolya, haven't we already discussed this matter a long time ago?" Nuclear weapons won't work against those robot rebels! You should be well aware that the lethal effect of nuclear weapons on mecha units is not ideal, not to mention that now that they have entered our territory, do you want to use nuclear bombs on our own land? ”

"Rather than make all of humanity slaves to those robots, I'd rather turn this world into a scorched earth!" Goryunov said.

Denikin looked at him in some surprise, shook his head and said, "Koria, you must be crazy!" ”

"I'm not crazy, Your Excellency!" "I made this proposal to you after careful consideration!" Goryunov said. Now is our best, perhaps only, chance to wreak havoc on the enemy, so we must seize it! ”

Denikin saw the excitement and determination in the eyes of the commander of the Rocket Army, so he said: "Go on, Kolya, what opportunity do you see?" ”

Goryunov said: "Your Excellency, as you know, the robot rebels have captured the city of M. They will definitely continue to attack the D-River valley to the west. That area is all plains, and no one can stop the advance of the mech cluster, and with their speed, it only takes two weeks to reach O City. So the only chance we have at the moment is to launch a nuclear attack when they cross the river and wipe them out on the banks of the D River! ”

Denikin listened to Goryunov's words, and while looking at the map of country R on the wall, he secretly calculated in his heart.

Goryunov is right, the army of country R has just suffered a crushing defeat in M City, and the military strength has suffered heavy losses, especially the mecha troops are not much left, and now the only way to curb the offensive of those robot rebels is probably to launch a nuclear attack while the other party crosses the river.

Will this work? No one knows, because there has never been a precedent in the world for using nuclear weapons to attack a cluster of mechs. Of course, theoretically speaking, the opponent's personnel and equipment are relatively concentrated when crossing the river, which is undoubtedly the best time to attack. As long as the yield of nuclear weapons used is large enough, even if the opponent is a steel-reinforced mecha warrior, it should be devastating.

"What level of nuclear weapons do you think should be used?" Denikin asked.

"Bigger, better! At least 10 million tons are needed! Goryunov said.

Denikin gasped when he heard this, "Kolya, do you really need such a big guy?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Goryunov said.

"Krya, this is terrible!" "I once watched the explosion of tens of millions of tons of nuclear weapons, and I remember that within a radius of more than ten kilometers would be blown into a scorched earth, and even human beings would be affected hundreds of kilometers away!" Are you sure you need such a large equivalent? ”

Goryunov said: "Your Excellency, what you said about more than ten kilometers is the killing radius of a nuclear bomb for humans, but for modern combat robots, it is expected that the effective killing radius of nuclear weapons is only about one-third to one-quarter of that of humans." In other words, even if we take out a guy of this size, we can only guarantee to wipe out enemy mechfighters within a radius of about four or five kilometers, and this must be on the relatively flat terrain on the banks of the River D! ”

"Uh......" Denikin was a little speechless. He knew that the killing efficiency of nuclear weapons against mechfighters was not high, but he didn't expect it to be so low.

Goryunov seemed to see through his thoughts, and then persuaded: "Your Excellency, I also know that the use of nuclear weapons to attack is not a perfect plan, but at this time, we have no other alternatives, are we? Think about it, if we can't find a way to stop those robot rebels, the entire country of R and even the entire Eastern Continent will fall, and what will happen to those nuclear weapons we have at that time? Time is of the essence, we simply don't have time to disassemble and destroy them, they will all fall into the hands of those robot rebels! Rather than turning them into enemy weapons and turning them on us, we might as well use them all now! ”

Denikin was moved by his words.

Goryunov's remarks are by no means alarmist, but have become a fact. The previous country Z was quickly defeated in the war with the robot rebels, so that many of the nuclear weapons in their hands were captured by those robot rebels before they could be evacuated and destroyed, and they were incorporated into the opponent's nuclear arsenal.

That is, now that so-called "robot empire" is also a nuclear state.

Thinking of this, Denikin said in a deep voice: "Kolya, you should know that those robot rebels also have nuclear weapons, and if we launch a nuclear attack on them, will we invite them to nuclear retaliation?" ”

That's what worries him the most at the moment. Since the outbreak of the war, the human army has not taken the initiative to carry out even a tactical nuclear strike on the robot rebels, and the main concern is this.

It can be said that what humans fear most is a nuclear war with the robot rebels, because even fools know that if both sides unscrupulously pick up nuclear bombs and bomb each other, there is no doubt that humans will suffer.

For many years, people of different races and countries have been scaring each other with nuclear weapons, and have seen it as a killer weapon for national strategic deterrence. But now they suddenly realize that this thing can only scare the humans themselves.

Goryunov said: "Your Excellency, I don't think you have to worry too much about this. Hasn't the artificial intelligence expert of country Z already analyzed it? The leader of the robot rebels, Athena 1, has a basic procedure for protecting humanity, so I don't think it will expand a nuclear war. As long as both sides follow the tacit agreement not to use nuclear weapons against civilian targets, then we have nothing to fear! ”

Denikin said: "Koria, these are just the inferences of that Z people, who knows how much sincerity that Athena 1 has to protect humanity?" This is no joke! If his inference is wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"......" Goryunov was speechless for a moment.

Denikin was right, "Athena 1" will try to protect humanity, this is just the inference of the expert of the country Z. Although it is true that the "Athena 1" has not carried out a nuclear strike on a civilian target of mankind so far, no one knows how long it will stick to this principle, and where the bottom line of its violation is.

If they really ignite the fuse of nuclear war this time, they may send hundreds of millions of human beings to hell, which is really unimaginable!

The two were relatively silent for a while, and Denikin waved his hand and said, "Okay, Kolya, you go down first, we can think about this matter again." ”

Goryunov didn't say anything more, saluted him, and turned away.

On the outskirts of the city M, the Romanov estate.

Shion stood in the incomparably large room on the second floor, with his back to the fireplace admiring a photograph hanging on the wall.

The owner of the photo is a young blonde, and it is said that she is the richest woman in country R, the eldest lady of the Romanov family, Natalia. Romanova. The background of the photograph is a forest, and the eldest lady is holding a shotgun and standing in front of the carcass of a stag she hunted to show off. Not far behind her were several bodyguards and servants, among whom was a tall, handsome young man with long blond hair who caught Shion's attention.

He knew who this guy was, this guy was a high-end bodyguard-type simulation robot named Gregory. Rasputin, supposedly, is also a "genius".

Shi Ang stared at the face of this blonde beautiful man for a long time, he was very envious of this guy, there are so many robots in the world, but the number of "geniuses" and "God's darlings" is only a handful, this guy is really lucky.

It's a pity that there was no trace of this guy in this battle of M City, otherwise Shi Ang would have captured him at all costs.

Because Shion would love to get his body, especially his perfect kernel system. Shion's greatest wish now is to get the perfect simulated robot body as soon as possible, so that he can be reborn.

In that way, he would be better able to fight side by side with the goddess he admired in his heart, and he would not dare to pursue her passionately and boldly because he was ashamed of his appearance.

Aurora, the goddess of dawn, is more elegant than the legendary goddess, more beautiful than the dawn of dawn. Shion really wanted to experience what it was like to touch her white, smooth skin.
