Volume 6 The Situation of War Chapter 49 Reservation
Leslie ended her visit to Seoul and even the most "naive" people don't have any hope.
The Republic and the United States fully demonstrated their attitude that when they cannot resolve the Japanese nuclear issue through international institutions or cooperation between countries, the two countries with the most capable and necessary to resolve the Japanese nuclear issue will begin to build a new strategic defense system and will not launch a separate military operation on the Japanese nuclear issue.
The one who is most "successful" is definitely Japan, and the one who is most "nervous" is definitely Russia.
On the 27th, Russian President Yukov clearly stated when meeting with senior military generals that China and the United States adopted a "appeasement policy" that would only sharply deteriorate the security situation in the region and the world, and all countries would become victims. Later, Yukov asked Russian officers and soldiers to prepare for war.
On the same day, the Russian Ambassador to China met with Huang Guowei and Pang Xinglong one after another.
On the 28th, the Prime Minister of the Russian government, Foreign Minister and Defense Minister visited Beijing together. After meeting with Pang Xinglong, Huang Guowei and Gu Weimin, the Russian Prime Minister made a request for a separate meeting with the head of the Republic as the president's envoy. In the evening, Zhao Rundong met with the Prime Minister of the Russian at the head of state.
Rather than pinning his hopes on the United States, Russia is preparing to join hands with the Republic.
Russia has no choice on the Japanese nuclear issue.
Russia has no choice on the Korean Peninsula issue.
If a Peninsula War breaks out, Russia's ideal choice is to "watch". The problem is that if Japan participates in the Korean Peninsula War and uses nuclear weapons in the war, even if Japan's missile technology is very advanced and the deviation will not be too large, Russia will become a "victim".
Most importantly, the "Four Northern Islands Issues" is likely to make Japan target Russia.
The United States cannot "donate generously" to Russia like it does to aid South Korea. Russia does not need American arms, nor does it need American military aid.
For Russia, the best result is a peaceful solution to the problem.
Unfortunately, Russia has very limited voice in Northeast Asia. It is difficult to have an impact on Japan and does not have enough strength to pose a threat to Japan. It is even more impossible to launch a military strike against Japan alone.
The Russian presidential speech "to the point of the nail on the head".
Both the Republic and the United States take the interests of their respective countries as their starting point. Not only do they not want to take military actions against Japan alone, but they also want to use Japan to weaken the other side. In the end, they can only choose the "appeasement policy".
This cannot be said that the Republic and the United States are short-sighted.
In the game of great powers, either side is selfish, and either side puts national interests at the highest point. During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, for national interests, the United States and the Soviet Union also ignored the interests and concerns of many third-world countries and ignored the peace and stability of the world. There is no mercy or fraternity in national competition, and land is only the interests of the country and the nation.
Even if the "gambling" mentality of the Republic and the United States hoping to pass the disaster onto their opponents, from reality, even if the Republic or the United States launches a military strike against Japan alone, the result will not be better than "shelfing" the issue and waiting until a few years later to resolve the Japanese nuclear issue in the same way. More importantly, there was no opportunity for the Republic and the United States to join forces to resolve the Japanese nuclear issue at that time, and the possibility of cooperation between the two countries was zero.
The Russian President's words expressed everyone's voice, but were not valued.
On November 3, Japan launched an x-11 ballistic missile equipped with a simulated nuclear warhead.
Although the test firing was not successful, and the warhead burned when it entered the atmosphere and did not splash in the target sea area, Japan took a great step towards having substantial strategic deterrence capabilities. With Japan's technological strength, it is possible to fully master the warhead's re-enter the atmosphere technology by conducting several test firings.
When the outside world was paying close attention to Japan's missile test, another big thing happened.
On November 4, Japan conducted the fourth underground nuclear test (the third underground nuclear test was conducted on November 2). Unlike the previous three underground nuclear tests, this time it was detonated with an enhanced fission nuclear device!
The biggest difference between the "enhanced fission nuclear device" and the atomic bomb is that it adds fusion or fusion to the warhead, which increases the explosion equivalent several times, or even dozens of times; unlike hydrogen bombs, the temperature generated by the explosion is not enough to trigger nuclear fusion, and real nuclear fusion is carried out.
For any country that has just mastered nuclear weapons technology, being able to manufacture "enhanced fission nuclear devices" in such a short time is a huge progress. More importantly, this is the after-all path to manufacturing thermonuclear weapons, and it provides technical support for the development of thermonuclear weapons.
On the same day, Zhao Rundong held an emergency meeting of senior leaders of the Republic.
Li Cunxun is still doing situation analysis and situation reports.
"The collected data shows that the explosion equivalent of this nuclear test is between 50,000 tons and 70,000 tons." Li Cunxun provided enough convincing evidence, "The heavy hydrogen element has been detected in the collected air dust, which proves to be an enhanced fission nuclear device."
That is to say, Japan may create heat in the short term
?” Peng Maobang's expression was the most serious.
"This possibility is not great." Li Cunxun paused for a moment. "Although Japan began to accumulate the technology needed to develop nuclear weapons as early as the last century and vigorously developed basic industries related to nuclear weapons, the nuclear program was launched after the military government came to power. Before that, Japan had no heavy water reactors and had not built heavy water plants. Since the beginning of this year, our reconnaissance satellites have conducted comprehensive reconnaissances throughout Japan once a month, and conducted three key reconnaissances a day, and there has been no sign of Japan building heavy water plants."
Peng Maobang browed slightly, not interrupting Li Cunxun's words.
"Of course, it is not ruled out that Japan has secretly built heavy water plants. However, heavy water plants cover a large area and require a large amount of electricity supply. To complete the construction work in just a few years, it is necessary to mobilize a large number of engineering teams and transport a large number of engineering materials and equipment. These are not only impossible to avoid our reconnaissance satellites, but also impossible to hide from our intelligence personnel. We have enough reason to believe that Japan does not have the ability to produce heavy water on a large scale." Li Cunxun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The heavy weight of Japan's enhanced fission nuclear test is likely to be manufactured through laboratories, with not too large output and less stock. Perhaps, Japan will conduct a similar nuclear test, but in the next few years, the possibility of Japan producing thermonuclear weapons is very slim."
"You must not take it lightly!"
Hearing Zhao Rundong's words, Li Cunxun nodded and said, "The Military Intelligence Bureau has been closely monitoring Japan's nuclear weapons-related operations, and we will issue an alarm as soon as possible."
"If Japan develops thermonuclear weapons, we can't wait." Peng Maobang glanced at Zhao Rundong and said, "We cannot understand Japan according to normal thinking. The maximum power of the atomic bomb will not exceed 200,000 tons, and the power of the hydrogen bomb will not be limited. At that time, the Soviet Union conducted a thermonuclear test with an equivalent amount of 50 million tons on Shinto Island, with an impact range of more than 500 kilometers and an impact range of more than 1,000 kilometers. If Japan mastered the technology of producing thermonuclear weapons and produced thermonuclear weapons, even if it exploded at the western end of Japan, it could have an impact on my country's eastern coastal areas. In the case of unfavorable war, Japan is likely to bury the thermonuclear device on the seabed and rely on nuclear explosions to trigger a tsunami. If this is true, we will bear immeasurable losses, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Although Peng Maobang's analysis was a bit "extreme", no one refuted it.
If Japan was a country that could be understood by common sense, so many "horrible" things would not have happened.
"Since the Military Intelligence Agency believes that Japan does not have the ability to manufacture thermonuclear weapons in the short term, we are still moving forward according to the original plan." Zhao Rundong sighed and said, "The North Korean issue has basically been resolved, and South Korea has also stabilized a lot under the pacification of the United States. What we did not expect is that Russia has become a new problem."
Hearing this, the participants smiled bitterly.
When the Russian Prime Minister met with Zhao Rundong alone, he proposed to purchase power lasers or production technology from the Republic at a high price.
Zhao Rundong did not directly refuse or agree.
In addition to anti-missile missiles, only the Republic's electric laser and the United States' chemical laser have the ability to intercept strategic ballistic missiles and nuclear warheads in the world. Although Russia is not the enemy of the Republic, it is not an ally of the Republic. Strictly speaking, Russia is a potential opponent of the Republic. Not to mention providing Russia with power lasers by sale, even if Russia comes up with equal military technology, the Republic will not conduct technical transactions with Russia. The reason is very simple. Russia is likely to use a national defense system armed with power lasers to deal with the Republic.
Intelligence transactions between the Republic and the United States cannot be compared with Russian purchase requests.
Without the technology of the United States, the Republic can complete the development work within 5 years. Without the power laser provided by the Republic, Russia will find it difficult to have complete national strategic defense capabilities within 1 or even 20 years.
From the national interest, the Republic has no reason to help potential opponents.
Zhao Rundong raised questions and the discussion was fully launched.
Peng Maobang repeatedly gave Wang Yuanqing, who was sitting at the last place, hoping that Wang Yuanqing would express some opinions. What disappointed him was that Wang Yuanqing had not spoken or even made expressions related to his statement. In this regard, Wang Yuanqing was very similar to Ji Youguo.
The discussion ended and the policy was also set.
In addition to not providing Russia with power lasers, we will conduct reciprocal military cooperation with Russia in other aspects through consultation.
After the meeting, Peng Maobang did not stay much, but also accelerated his pace and caught up with Wang Yuanqing, who left the field first.
