Chapter 145: The Power of the Nuclear Bomb
Johannes belongs to the former province of South Fihauteng.
Although it has a developed economy, it is the second-to-last city in terms of area among many provincial capitals.
With the influx of a large number of people, it has indeed reached the point where every inch of land is at a premium.
However, the four or five states that want to hold a referendum to join this time, including the Northern Province, Pumaran Province, Free Province, etc., are all large states with an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers.
If all of them were to join Johannes, the autonomous region would increase in size by more than 600,000 square kilometres, occupying nearly half of the former South Africa.
However, such an approach is a serious consequence that they cannot accept.
In the event of a large-scale disengagement, it is quite possible that the use of force will be considered, as they say.
Even when the time comes, the guns of the non-Yugoslav Union may be directed at the Johannes Autonomous Region, which they have coveted for a long time.
However, the free meat has been delivered to his mouth, how can there be any reason not to eat it, Shen Sen is worried about how to expand the area of the Johannes Autonomous Region, it is best to solve it by peaceful means, if the war cannot be avoided, he will not hesitate at all.
The situation is now good, and several other major states are eager to join the Johannes Autonomous Region, but only the non-Yugoslav central government has raised objections.
But it is much easier to deal with a fragmented AFL than to take other cities separately from each other with a multi-front engagement. All that needs to be done now is how to skillfully bring hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land into the hands of the autonomous regions without leaving a trace.
In the solemn and elegant office, Shen Sen carefully read the information sorted out, and made a decision in his heart.
Sometimes if you want to achieve your goal, in addition to directly launching a war, there is also a mode of war that is in the lead but not the trigger, that is, to show your muscles to the opponent, show your strength, so that the opponent does not dare to act rashly.
Although Shen Sen knew that he would have a battle with the non-Southern Union sooner or later, now was not the most opportune time, and if he could buy some time in other ways, it would be enough.
Thinking of this, Shen Sen clicked on the projection on the desktop and conveyed his order.
"Convene the leading cadres of the central ministries of the autonomous region to the National Assembly to discuss important matters."
A few days later, the Johannes government, which had not heard anything for a long time, announced through the media channel that a military parade would be held in three days to commemorate the establishment of the autonomous region.
"Deceived Kangxi"
As soon as this news came out, coupled with the referendums of many cities in South Africa to join Johannes, it fell like a boulder on the calm water of the Blue Star, setting off turbulent waves.
The first to react violently to the Johannes Autonomous Region's notice was the non-SACO centre.
Only half a day after the news of the military parade in the autonomous region was announced, the African Federation of South Africa also made an urgent announcement that they were also preparing to hold a joint exercise in the near future.
In the past few days, the news released by the non-Yugoslav Union has revealed that on the one hand, tens of thousands of regular troops participated in the exercise, including the air force and the army. On the other hand, he called on the states to remain calm and not to provoke unrest that endangers national security.
At this time, everyone felt the atmosphere of-for-tat between AF and Johannes.
Even though neither of them had said a word against each other, everyone felt that the shadow of war was beginning to loom over the black sky like a dark cloud.
Time is moving backwards minute by minute in such an oppressive atmosphere.
Whether it is acting or parading, it is a "gentle means" that is being used by showing strength and will to the other side.
Most of the non-Yugoslav military forces are transparent, basically inheriting and expanding the foundation of the former South Africa, consisting of regular troops, reserve forces and paramilitary forces, with a total of more than 140,000 active troops.
The regular army is divided into three branches: the army, the navy and the air force, as well as medical units. The number of reserve forces plus paramilitary forces is huge, totaling more than half a million. The President exercises leadership and command over the armed forces throughout the country through the Ministry of Defence and the Defence Forces Command.
Military equipment has been developed and imported in-house, including about 400 main battle tanks and 1,600 armored reconnaissance vehicles. A total of 1,243 infantry fighting vehicles of various models and types.
There are more than 2,000 towed guns, self-propelled guns, and more than 100 ground-to-air missiles.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that there are about 300 combat aircraft and about 14 helicopter gunships.
In general, the African Federal Republic of Africa has the most powerful armed forces in the Philippines, which is second to none in terms of the number of armed forces, the type of equipment and the degree of advancement, and is the undoubted hegemon of the mainland.
If you compare according to the conventional strength, the little Johannes is really not a match for non-Southern United team.
Since the establishment of the Johannes Autonomous Region, as the base of the Blue Star World, Shen Sen has always put the construction of military strength in the first place.
The more than 20,000 Provisional Troops of the Truth Society who participated in the uprising were completely retained, and on this basis they were expanded to more than 100,000.
However, the main arms of the armed forces are the army, missile units, and electronic information units, and for the sake of time and other factors, they did not rush to form a complete air force and navy, but only set up a rudimentary framework.
At the equipment level, the equipment on the bright side is all conventional equipment imported from MUN, mainly individual firearms, and only a few helicopters, armored vehicles and tanks.
For a city, the tens of thousands of armed forces of the Autonomous Region of Johannes are already a very large army, more than enough to deal with the threats in the region.
As for trying to build a military force of the size of the non-Yugoslav alliance on a small area, everyone knows that it is impossible.
According to normal circumstances, this is an irrefutable fact, a projectile land without any military base and weapons production capacity, although it will cause losses to the non-Yugoslav Union, but the final result will still be defeat.
But as the head of the autonomous region with two worlds and cross-era technology, Shen Sen has the ability to reduce dimensionality.
Amid the suspicion and disapproval of the crowd, three days later, the Johannes Autonomous Region held a military parade on time.
There were a large number of people attending the meeting, including local citizens, as well as some representatives from the non-SAUD hub and other provinces and states, as well as from abroad.
Shen Sen stood on the high platform, facing the crowd with different expressions, and announced the start of the event with a smile.
"The first military parade in the Johannes Autonomous Region has officially begun!"
Under the watchful eye of everyone, the waiting troops slowly approached the place where they were inspected from the end of the hidden avenue, and the announcer's voice rang out at the same time.
"China Central Radio and Television, this is the capital of the Johannes Autonomous Region, and we are here to broadcast live to all regions......"
Unlike the excited and proud local citizens, all the delegates from all over the country were very calm and indifferent, because in their eyes, Johannes's current military power was nothing to see.
However, to their surprise, the initial unit did not seem to be an army, nor a navy, nor an air force, but a unit they had never seen.
In the midst of the consternation, several huge armoured transports drove up in succession, carrying rectangular platforms of fire that were slightly inclined and loaded with flattened weapons like missiles.
What is this and where to buy missiles?
Just when everyone was puzzled, the voice of the announcer rang out.
"Motionless as a mountain, moving as thunder, now coming to us is a strategic nuclear strike force!"
"The missile platform is equipped with the first-generation Thunder intercontinental nuclear missile independently developed by the autonomous region under the leadership of the autonomous region, which has the advantages of good maneuverability, fast deployment and conversion, high strike accuracy, and great damage power, and is responsible for the task of maintaining the safety and dignity of all the people in the autonomous region, and is a sharp ......weapon for our strategic deterrence and strategic victory."
Before the announcer's commentary was over, the others felt like they had listened stupidly.
At this moment, every word and every sentence on the radio is like a fantasy, making all the delegates participating in the parade unable to believe and accept.
Just kidding, isn't it, you say that what is carried on an armored vehicle is a nuclear weapon, who would dare to believe it?
In the early stage, there was no news about it, and now it suddenly came out and said that it had nuclear weapons. To scare non-Yugoslavia, you can't export the chapter, at least you have to talk about the evidence.
At least 80 percent of the regional delegates do not believe that the vehicles are carrying nuclear missiles, and they are more inclined to the Johannes Autonomous Region bluffing to scare the non-SAFE center.
Although the principle of the Blue Star nuclear weapon is already in the open state, it is not so easy to make it into a usable nuclear weapon, let alone an intercontinental nuclear missile.
Because under the development of the free expansion of capital, the great powers under the control of the oligarchs have firmly controlled the manufacturing of nuclear weapons in their own hands from the root.
On the one hand, uranium, the most widely used nuclear raw material under the existing technology, is basically monopolized by a few major powers, and once uranium is discovered in other regions, the transnational military oligarchs will buy it and control it in their own hands.
On the other hand, the manufacture of nuclear weapons requires a certain industrial base, including human resources, electricity, etc., and in the extremely uneven development of Blue Star, ordinary countries have no system, no capital, and no technology to undertake the research and development of nuclear weapons.
At a time when several major powers already possess nuclear missiles, they have also joined forces to call for a treaty to limit the development of nuclear weapons.
As a result, the nuclear weapons of the Blue Star are better controlled than those on Earth, and it is simply impossible for a small country with nuclear weapons to suddenly emerge.
Therefore, Johannes is such a small place, although it is said that the economy and science and technology are very developed, but there has never been news of the research of nuclear weapons before, and now there is a conflict of interests with the South Federal Republic of Africa, and there is a military parade, and then he says that he has nuclear weapons in his car, how can people not suspect that this is just a deception.
The military parade did attract attention from all sides, but neither the non-Yugoslav center nor representatives from other regions paid attention to it.
Just as the representatives of the regions were about to report their opinions, they did not expect that the day after the completion of the military parade, the Johannes Autonomous Region relaxed the scene of the explosion test of nuclear weapons in front of the whole world and through live television.
The explosion of a nuclear weapon is very recognizable, because in Blue Star it is the most powerful weapon that humans can master.
Even through the TV, everyone felt like the sun was falling.
In the midst of the deafening roar, the distant sky suddenly lit up with a little extremely bright blazing light, which was brighter than ten thousand suns.
That little bit of light contained endless energy, rising rapidly between heaven and earth, like a cloud that grew larger, and the surrounding clouds reflected a blue-green light.
Immediately afterward, the shock spread like ripples, and the earth began to shake violently. Experimental buildings were blown away, vehicles were overturned, and large trees were uprooted.
A cream-like cloud, mixed with explosions, tumbles and spends upwards at an increasing speed all the way to the stratosphere.
Within a radius of a few kilometers, the objects that are illuminated will instantly vaporize and evaporate, and within a few hundred kilometers, if you look directly at it with the naked eye, it will be directly blinded.
In an instant, the representatives of all parties who watched the live broadcast were silent.
Thinking of the vows they had made at the beginning, they felt like they had been slapped in the face.
Johannes proved that it did indeed possess nuclear weapons, and he did not say anything.
Now that the most powerful weapon of the Blue Star human race is in the hands of a small projectile city, the situation in the world is likely to change dramatically because of the weapons in its hands, and the first is the non-southern alliance.
When everyone came back to their senses from the shocked facts, they couldn't care about emotion, and hurriedly reported the details they had witnessed to the organization behind them.
When the news media everywhere got the news, they immediately put it on their front pages, and Johannes once again caused an uproar around the world.
The non-Yugoslav Central Committee, which also witnessed the explosion of the nuclear bomb, was silent for a while, and did not say a word about the referendums in various provinces and states, but the exercise was quietly canceled a few days later.
Finally, in reluctance, the SAUD Central Committee issued a notice, which clearly stated that the center followed the will of the people in each district and respected the choices they made.
watched the reactions of all parties after the nuclear bomb, some people were happy, some people were sad, almost all of them were expected by Shen Sen.
At this stage, the army is weak, and the production line of various advanced equipment has not yet been established, but when he has a weapon that is beyond the conventional of the Blue Star, he is already invincible.
Although you can't defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, it is more than enough to suppress the opponent for a period of time to perfect your equipment.
And when the non-Yugoslav central government expressed its opinion on the referendums in various places, the provinces, which had seen the power of the nuclear bomb, seemed to be encouraged and began to hold voting activities eagerly.
In just three days, a total of four provinces bordering Johannes voted in referendums, and all citizens decided to join the Johannes Autonomous Region as part of it.
In addition, there are several provinces and states that are in the swing, but it seems that it will not be long before the faction that wants to join Johannes will finally gain the upper hand.
And Shen Sen, who had roughly solved the matter, finally had time to start upgrading and improving the weapons and equipment in the autonomous region.
Whether it is dealing with the non-Southern Union that may be unbearable to fight to the death in the near future, or the neon of the fantasy world, an army many times stronger than it is now is needed.
If you want to expand your military power, the first thing to solve is the problem of mining pure gold.
