Volume 6 The Situation of War Chapter 42 One Stone Creates Thousands of Waves
On the afternoon of the 9th of the month, Ji Youguo refused to stay and set off for the old man in Shaanxi.
Ji Youguo's "free and easy" is not only admirable and respectful, but also causes considerable trouble. Zhao Rundong obviously wants to support Gu Weimin, hoping that Gu Weimin will play a more important role in the future government. Pang Xinglong's attitude is ambiguous and no one wants to offend him. Pan Yunsheng and Peng Maobang are determined to push up Wang Yuanqing and suppress Gu Weimin.
Whether to add a deputy head of state is a major decision, and it will definitely not be decided in the short term.
On October 1, Cia took the initiative to contact the Military Intelligence Bureau and asked to continue the unfinished technical transactions.
According to the long-determined plan, the acting director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Li Cunxun, agreed to the request made by Cia~, saying that for the sake of safety, it is not advisable to contact us before finding out the truth of the Bangkok attack.
No matter what Cia thinks, this matter is put on hold.
Lee Cunxun's reply conveyed a very important signal to Cia: the attack in Bangkok is closely related to Cia's confidentiality work.
In other words, it is very likely that Cia leaked the secret transaction.
Even without the "hint" from the Military Intelligence Bureau, Cia knew that it would be a big problem to trade again, and finding out halal is more important than completing the transaction.
Just as Cia was investigating with all his might, a big event shocked the whole world.
January 17th. Beijing time, 11:24, thousands of earthquake monitoring equipment in hundreds of countries and regions tested a magnitude 67 earthquake that occurred near latitude 26 north and longitude 1 east.
It is not a natural earthquake. It is a "artificial" earthquake.
At 11 o'clock, Li Cunxun arrived at the head of state.
"The analysis data has come out." Li Cunxun handed a stack of data to Zhao Rundong. "The shallow source earthquake and waveform diagram proved to be an underground nuclear test."
Zhao Rundong put on reading glasses and looked carefully.
"The location is Dimu Island, Xiaoliyuan Island, Japan." Li Cunxun took out a cigarette and lit it without thinking. "From the intensity of the earthquake, the explosion equivalent of the nuclear test site is between 1.50,000 tons and 20,000 tons. The remote patrol aircraft has been sent out. It will not be until this evening that the air dust near the explosion site can be collected. The basic properties of the nuclear test site are determined. It can basically be determined that it is a pure fission nuclear test."
After reading the information, Zhao Rundong took off his reading glasses. "So, Japan has developed a nuclear weapon."
"To be precise, it should be a nuclear device." Li Cunxun breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm very cunning. I've been working on Nanbird Island before, making us think that nuclear tests will be conducted on Nanbird Island. I didn't expect that the real location was the mother island of Xiaoliyuan Island, which was several thousand kilometers away. Our reconnaissance work had a great deviation and we were unable to issue an alarm in advance."
“Cia won’t be much better.”
Li Cunxun nodded and said, "The US military has not adjusted its fleet and long-range patrol aircraft deployed in the Pacific, which shows that the United States has also been deceived. Of course, we cannot deny the possibility of Japan informing the United States in advance based on this, after all, Japan has not yet escaped its dependence on the United States."
Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "According to your opinion, Japan's test is likely to be a nuclear device, not a nuclear warhead."
"It may be a nuclear warhead, but the possibility of a nuclear device is much greater." Li Cunxun took two puffs of cigarettes and wiped out the cigarette butts, saying, "The technical difficulty of miniaturization of warheads is not much lower than that of nuclear raw material concentration. Although Japan is likely to obtain key technology for miniaturization of warheads from Alamos Laboratory, and using computer simulation tests is enough to obtain more accurate data, Japan must conduct at least one nuclear test and collect enough first-hand data to make a breakthrough in miniaturization of warheads."
Zhao Rundong thought for a while and said, "In other words, Japan does not have the ability to use nuclear weapons."
Li Cunxun was late and said, "You can say that now, but you can't say that in a few months."
Zhao Rundong frowned and signaled Li Cunxun to continue talking.
"Japan's technical strength is very strong, we don't have to worry about it.
"Li Cunxun picked up the cigarette, and it was a little late.
"If you want to, just suck, don't care about me."
Li Cunxun smiled, but put down his cigarette and said, "In the past, we had obtained enough data through dozens of nuclear tests, established mathematical models, and completed the design and improvement of nuclear weapons by computer simulating nuclear explosions. With Japan's ability, one or most nuclear tests are enough to collect enough data. Within a few months, Japan can come up with a nuclear warhead design plan. Japan has sufficient nuclear raw materials, and after the military government came to power, it secretly started the concentration of nuclear raw materials. With Japan's industrial strength, within the year, it will take out a nuclear warhead with practical capabilities by January next year, and there will be no problem in completing the integration of the warhead and the vehicle."
Zhao Rundong smiled bitterly and did not rush to speak.
"In fact, Japan has achieved its goal after conducting nuclear tests." Li Cunxun sighed and said, "With Japan's strength, no one believes that Japan has the ability to have strategic nuclear deterrence in the short term. Technically, nuclear tests are for collecting data. Politically, nuclear tests are for proving Japan's nuclear capabilities."
Zhao Rundong Point
, said: "In this way, Japan will show up at the beginning of next year at the latest
Li Cunxun frowned slightly and said, "We have been monitoring Japan's military expansion operations. We have to admit that Murakami's ability to control the overall situation is amazing. Judging from the information we have already mastered, Japan's two aircraft carriers will form combat effectiveness within the year. The size of the air force's ground aircraft fleet can more than double at the beginning of next year, and we have the ability to win a local regional war. If Japan has nuclear weapons that can be used for actual combat by then, both us and the United States will have to reserve when Japan expands outward."
"This is Murakami Sasaki's purpose."
"It can be said that with nuclear weapons and conventional military forces that surpass our opponents, Murakami Sasaki can do whatever he wants without scrupleing our attitudes with the United States."
"The question is, what should we do." Zhao Rundong rubbed his forehead and said, "Although it was a bit unexpected, Japan's progress in secretly developing nuclear weapons was as expected. If Japan embarked on the road of external expansion at the end of the year, or early next year, such as attacking South Korea with the Dokdo issue, how should we deal with it."
Li Cunxun was late and swallowed back the words he said.
Although Li Cunxun has been appointed as the acting director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, in front of Zhao Rundong, his status is far inferior to that of Pan Yunsheng who "retired" and naturally cannot express his opinions on national affairs.
Zhao Rundong pondered for a while and looked at Li Cunxun.
"First of the People..."
"Tell me what you think." Zhao Rundong laughed and said, "It's just the two of us, so there's nothing to worry about."
Li Cunxun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I think it's better not to show his attitude. To be honest, sticks are not good, they are birds of a feather. Until now, sticks still regard the United States as God. If we don't suffer a little, nothing we do will be of use. Besides, the United States wishes us to fight with Japan, and it's better to fight both sides and lose money so that the United States can profit from it. If the war breaks out at the end of the year or early next year, our national strategic defense system does not have enough interception capabilities, and the dressing work of conventional troops has not been completed, and the cost of rashly joining the war is too huge."
"The problem is, if you drag on it, the problem will be even worse."
"It is true, but our speed must exceed Japan's speed." Li Cunxun paused for a moment and said, "Although Japan has a lot of nuclear raw materials, with Japan's strength, it can deploy up to 100 to 150 nuclear warheads within three years. Three years later, our national strategic defense system will have the ability to intercept 200 targets at the same time. The most important thing is that even Japan, as long as Sadashi Murakami is not a real madman, will not easily use nuclear weapons in war, because our nuclear weapons are much more than Japan's, and Japan does not have strategic defense capabilities, and the war is still fighting conventional weapons. Even after three years, our dressing work will be less than one-third completed, and we only have the ability to fight a limited-scale local war. If we really want to fight, it will be more beneficial to us after three years than to take action now."
Zhao Rundong smiled faintly, as if he was very sure of Li Cunxun’s statement.
Li Cunxun knew very well that Zhao Rundong had seen these problems long ago and asked him to tell them, but he only expressed his importance to the future director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
"We need to adjust our strategic deployment in time." Zhao Rundong thought for a while and said, "You have prepared relevant materials and hold a high-level meeting tonight. You can explain the situation."
"I?"
Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "This has always been the job of the Military Intelligence Director. You can't help you, but I'll explain it?"
Li Cunxun smiled and said nothing more.
Relatively speaking, the Republic's attitude is very "moderate".
After confirming that Japan had conducted a nuclear test, South Korea and North Korea issued the strongest protests almost at the same time. The South Korean president then convened all senior officials to hold a closed-door meeting, and the North Korean leader ordered the troops to enter the highest state of combat readiness.
Russia's reaction was not slow either. Within 1c, the 5tu-160 bomber took off to carry out combat readiness patrol missions.
Russia did not say whether the bomber carries nuclear weapons, nor did the outside world speculate. Since it is a combat readiness patrol, strategic bombers must carry strategic deterrent weapons.
At 1:30 am on the 17th, about 5 hours after Japan conducted a nuclear test, a spokesperson for the US White House held a press conference in the middle of the night, strongly condemning Japan's reckless behavior and the United States suspended its obligations under the US-Japan Security Treaty.
Subsequently, the U.S. fleet deployed in the Pacific began to assemble to the Western Pacific region.
The United States is not preparing to use force against Japan, but is just putting pressure on Japan and expressing its attitude to South Korea. From another perspective, the United States is sending fleets to the Western Pacific region to "protect" Japan in disguise.
In any case, the nuclear test tore off the last fig leaf for Japan to secretly develop nuclear weapons.
