Chapter 35: For the Safety of the Earth
As the situation in the eastern seas continues to escalate, the situation begins to evolve towards an uncontrollable situation.
First of all, there has been a sudden change in the situation on the peninsula.
The Houston of country M sailed into Kagoshima, and the entire east coast of the East Asian continent was within the range of the Houston aircraft carrier, and the peninsula immediately strengthened its vigilance, and at the same time issued a first-class air defense alert, and the entire country entered a state of combat readiness.
This move undoubtedly provoked a sensitive nerve in the situation on the peninsula, and a large number of troops were stationed near the demarcation line, and the two sides began to build military positions across the demarcation line, and all kinds of light and heavy weapons were pulled over.
Seeing that the enemy countries began to build military positions, dozens of howitzers from the northern countries crossed the demarcation line in unison, igniting the powder keg of the situation on the peninsula.
However, the economic strength of the northern part of the peninsula is much worse than that of the southern part of the peninsula, the southern part of the peninsula is backed by the Pacific Ocean, the heavy industry in the south is very developed, and a military system integrating sea, land and air can already be initially formed.
In modern warfare, the key to determining victory or defeat is no longer the difference in numbers, but more in the contest of sophisticated weapons.
On the same day, the Manhattan crossed the Tsushima Strait from Hawaii and sailed directly to the harbor near the southern capital, and the long barrels of guns bombarded the mountains in front of it, regardless of whether they could hit people or not, and then they bombarded first, and the shells alone hit 20,000 tons.
The USS Manhattan is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which has nuclear strike capabilities and nuclear defense capabilities, and the neutron bomb is estimated to be shot down before it is ignited, so it is not afraid of the threat of nuclear weapons.
The northern part of the peninsula, which is a bit of a tiger, is ready to test the Manhattan's nuclear defense capabilities, but is stopped by the UN.
As soon as you press this launch button, it will really bloom around the world!
All the Mach 50 missiles of the neighboring country were pulled north of the peninsula and aimed at the Manhattan
As the surrounding countries began to carry out a naval blockade, the Manhattan immediately fell into an isolated situation, but the Manhattan itself was not panicked, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier did not have much demand for fuel supplies, and the life supplies on the aircraft carrier were also very sufficient, even if it was surrounded for half a year, there was no problem, and they even thought about tactical strategies such as combining inside and outside, and flowering in the middle.
Various countries began to lay out around the Manhattan, more and more tactical missiles were pulled over, and the entire eastern sea became a powder keg that could explode at any time.
At this time, the countries in the southern seas also began to jump up and down, first driving away the fishing boats sailing on the coast of enemy countries, and at the same time charging high transit fees for oil tankers in transit, even the local tyrants in the Middle East began to raise the price of crude oil exported to Asia, the O League's Atmiss crossed the Strait of Malacca from Sri Lanka to the Command Islands, and a large number of special forces parachuted into the triangle chaos zone, crossed the Hengduan Mountains and began to move closer to the national border.
Canada, on the other hand, sent submarines up the Atlantic Ocean to the waters near Murmansk to prevent the enemy from making a detour from the west.
A large number of nuclear strike equipment began to be activated, and the targets were important port cities and provincial capitals on both sides.
If the situation really gets out of hand, countless people will die in the fighting.

Shangjing City, Zheng Family.
Liu Qinghe, the boss of Zhongzhou Industrial Group, was tied to a stool at this time, and his white village shirt was covered with bloodstains.
"Is there anything else you're hiding from me besides the production line?" The old man of the Zheng family sat on the tea table, glanced at Liu Qinghe with the teacup sideways, and then asked indifferently.
Liu Qinghe, who was covered in bruises, no longer had the strength to speak, but shook his head weakly.
The old man waved his hand, and then several men in black suits carried Liu Qinghe out.
The old man of the Zheng family slowly stood up and walked slowly to the reception room next door, where an old man with white hair and beard was sitting.
"The production line of the industrial-grade 3D printer leaked out, and three printers were stolen, which should have been done by RB." The old man of the Zheng family took a sullen puff of his cigarette and then said.
The seated old man raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything.
The old man of the Zheng family sat down slowly, and then continued: "You don't have to worry, Liu Qinghe will carry all the shares pledged to the bank before. ”
"You're not going to have your son-in-law?" Hearing this, the old man asked in surprise.
The old man of the Zheng family shook his head helplessly: "After so many years, he can be regarded as half a son, if he hadn't hidden it from me, I might have thought of other ways, but if he didn't fight himself, then he couldn't blame anyone." ”
"What about Zhongzhou Industrial Group and other group companies?"
"Filing for bankruptcy internally, the company that should have been liquidated a long time ago is just taking this opportunity to make up for the previous hole, anyway, it will be fought, even if the employees want to make trouble, it won't be able to make much waves, after all, everyone is now concerned about how far it will be fought."
"What are you going to do if there is a fight?"
"What to do? Hehe, where can't we go where the world is so big, we old bones, do we still have to go to the battlefield to work hard? ”
There was a brief silence in the reception room.
Looking at the hesitant old man beside him, the old man of the Zheng family said earnestly: "Let's collect the external assets first, and then come out when the pattern is clear, the Zheng family is now in addition to this house, basically all the assets that can be collected have been collected, the situation is changing too quickly, it is not a bad thing to be cautious." ”
The old man next to him didn't answer, but nodded thoughtfully.
The conference room fell silent again, leaving only the sound of boiling tea echoing through the silent room.

The activation of nuclear weapons has made all countries tense.
In the event of a war between the great powers, the cost is incalculable, but now no one dares to take the lead in stopping, and can only maintain a fragile balance in the midst of high tension.
The Manhattan has been stopped at the port, it can't move now, all the battle situations are arranged with it as the core, once it starts to move, then what kind of chain reaction will there be, even the M side itself can't say, it can only keep him in an awkward posture and remain motionless.
Pacific Strategy Room.
"Do they still disagree with what we are saying?" General House asked the diplomat.
The diplomat shook his head helplessly, indicating that there was no progress in the dialogue.
Taking a long puff of his cigar, General House ordered in a deep voice: "Sail the Detroit and the USS Washington over, and each frigate is equipped with Patriot ship-based missiles, and the strategic nuclear submarines are also sent over, all the medium-range ICBMs are locked onto the target, and the nuclear weapons remain in a firing state." ”
"Yes!" An officer nodded his head to the point.
After conveying the order, the officer couldn't help but glance back at General House, and asked hesitantly, "General, do you really want to do it to this extent?" ”
General House was silent for a moment, then replied, "We have no choice!" ”

The oppressive atmosphere of war has finally been transmitted to the daily lives of ordinary people.
The first is the soaring oil prices, the original oil price of five or six yuan suddenly jumped to eleven or twelve yuan, and even the price of olefin-3 type has increased by about 30%.
The second is that there is a shortage of living materials, and the news of the outbreak of war at the beginning was only circulated on a small scale, even if it was heard by most people, it was a joke, after all, there was no official notice, and there was no heavy news.
The news on the peninsula was also very flat under the deliberate blockade of the officials of various countries, and did not make any waves in public opinion.
However, when country M drove the Detroit and Washington over, and some well-informed people began to buy instant noodles, compressed biscuits and dehydrated vegetables in large quantities, ordinary people finally began to react and began to flock to supermarkets to buy daily necessities.
What really made the public aware that something was wrong was the announcements issued by the consulates of various countries.
Consulates in almost all countries require their citizens to evacuate within a week, and if they can't evacuate, they need to stock up on supplies for at least three months.
This is a clear signal that war is about to break out, and it is clear that the situation has reached the point where it is on the verge of breaking out.
In the operational headquarters, diplomats are communicating with the head of the command headquarters the demands put forward by the M side.
"It's too much to deceive, it's too much to deceive!" After listening to the feedback from the diplomats, the head of the command slapped the conference table with a slap.
"Hit! Beat him up! Want us to compromise! Dream! The officers and soldiers present at the headquarters were filled with righteous indignation and couldn't help but curse angrily.
The M side demanded that all technical plans and manuscript materials must be shared with them, and that it should bear direct responsibility for the conflict on the peninsula, and even proposed to compensate the M army.
"All the nuclear bombs are all prepared, all are aimed at the mainland cities of country M, and the newly developed Mach 50 missiles are also all installed. The head of the command commanded categorically.
Soon, space satellites detected the movement of nuclear bomb silos, or rather, these nuclear bomb silos were not even hidden.
Under the detection of satellites in many countries, an unloaded ballistic missile rose all the way to the air in the western desert area, sailed at a speed of more than Mach 50, and finally crashed into the Atlantic Ocean.
The ballistic missile is equipped with only fuel tanks and guidance components, and does not carry any warheads.
This is an obvious warning, and the purpose is to tell all countries, if I launch such a missile, you will not be able to stop it!
In front of ballistic missiles at Mach 50, various countries were silent.
On the one hand, if this war is not fought, then if it is allowed to develop, it will really not be able to be fought in the future, and now the technology has just begun to develop, and even if there are hypersonic ballistic missiles, there may not be many of them.
However, after a few years of development, when hundreds or thousands of ballistic missiles have been built, it is appropriate to be beaten if you want to fight again.
Once again, the two sides of the confrontation are at a stalemate.
At this time, Li Mingyu made a move.
Alpha Intelligence pushed a small article written by an eighteenth-line media, this article is written about the total yield of all standby nuclear bombs that can destroy the earth three times, of course, the specific data is edited by Xiaoyu, after Xiaoyu's modification, the whole article appears to be complete in data and clear in logic.
With Alpha Intelligence's current nearly 300 million downloads, the article was quickly reprinted by major media, discussions about nuclear war began to be noisy, a large number of non-nuclear countries began to condemn the reckless behavior of nuclear powers, and many non-governmental organizations began to spontaneously unite and began to demonstrate against nuclear war.
Under the coercion of public opinion, the voice of division began to appear within each country, and the capitalist country itself is a democratic electoral system, although the election itself has too much rotten political darkness, but when the will of the people gathers, then no matter how corrupt the political darkness must make way for the public opinion.
After all, once a large-scale nuclear war really breaks out, there will be no good end for everyone.
The attitude of the O-League was the first to waver.
After all, it is a multinational consortium, and it is too difficult to unify internal opinions, and RS has already obtained some technical solutions, although RS maintains the status of a neutral country, but many countries that have a good relationship with RS still obtain different degrees of technical solutions, so the attitude is not as resolute as that of country M at the beginning.
Similarly, there is a lot of opposition in country M, and the time is about to come for the general election, and the president must prepare for the election, and now the competing parties have begun to accuse him of initiating the war and pushing all of humanity into the abyss of nuclear war.
Although it is likely that the opposition party's candidate will continue the war policy when he comes to power, it is a very good attack at the moment, and no matter what the future of the war holds, it is important to win the general election.
Faced with this situation, the two countries immediately began a fierce offensive in public opinion.
First of all, the scene of the bombing of the Manhattan was made into a documentary, titled: "The Howl of the Manhattan", reporting on the cruelty of war.
The opposition party even sent a large number of spies to participate in the demonstrations and lead the people to violent demonstrations.
A large number of people expressed their dissatisfaction with the behavior of the M side on the Internet, and countless people were filled with righteous indignation, and many people even proposed to drive the aircraft carrier out of the open sea first and fight to the death with the enemy.
A certain island, surrounded by aircraft carriers from all sides, made a voice of reason:
"Please be rational and exercise restraint, the earth is our common home, the only home we rely on for survival, and we must prevent the outbreak of nuclear war."
"For the safety of the planet!"
