Four or five years ago, Americans were still very satisfied with China, their "little brother". They would follow them in everything they did, and they could also help contain the Soviet Union. Although the country was not small and had a large population, it was poor and backward and would not Is there anything too great a danger? But when the Soviet Union fell and Americans looked back, it was clear that this was not the case.
As more and more intelligence comes back from Russia, Americans are even more anxious. China defeated Russia through a great war and seized most of the military and technological heritage of the Soviet era. Although the United States has already harvested a round of harvest with its NATO brothers before this, but no matter how much it harvests, can it harvest more than 300 T8 tanks? Can you harvest hundreds of dangerous bombers?
The United States does not know how many good things the Chinese have taken away, but when they think about the already strong China eating most of the Soviet Union¡¯s legacy, it can be clearly identified that China is definitely the number one threat to challenge the United States¡¯ world hegemony in the future.
In another aspect, in the early 1990s, the United States cut a lot of military budgets and plans and downsized its military because it wanted to be alone and defeated. But now Americans dare not relax their vigilance at all. Many people have already shouted slogans such as "The Cold War has never ended", even though China and the United States are still nominally allies.
There is another particularly painful thing. The United States went through all the trouble to sign the ART Agreement (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) with the Soviet Union. However, the Soviet Union subsequently disintegrated, various republics separated, and the Russian Civil War put the world in a state of chaos. On the brink of nuclear war. The security situation improved after China intervened, but the dangerous situation in the United States has not changed because most of the Soviet nuclear warheads were received by the Chinese.
The SCO was established a while ago, and the first military cooperation agreement signed was that the three countries of Siberia, the Far East, and Kazakhstan would give up their nuclear weapons and transfer them to China or destroy them, and China would provide the three countries with a nuclear umbrella. A conservative estimate is that at least 66 nuclear warheads will fall into the hands of China. If we add those that China has obtained from Russia, Americans will exclaim that China's nuclear arsenal is rapidly approaching their own.
Of course, these calculations are all wishful thinking. It is said that since the independence of the three countries, their nuclear weapons have been taken over by China. And China¡¯s nuclear arsenal is not less than that of the United States, but more than half that of the United States.
The United States no longer cares about Russia's problems. It has frequently contacted China and hopes to sign a Sino-US version of ART with China. Simply put, it means that China can take Russia's place and work with the United States to abolish its nuclear weapons. Another task is to coordinate nuclear weapons issues in Ukraine and Belarus.
The situation in Belarus is better, the number is not large, and the attitude of cooperation is relatively good. Among them, Ukraine has more nuclear warheads than Britain and France, with a total of more than 3,000 strategic and tactical nuclear warheads. Ukraine thought it was a treasure at first, but now it feels it is too hot to handle. Under the pressure of China, the United States and other countries, it will eventually use these warheads. Nuclear weapons were abandoned.
The only disagreement now is what to do with these nuclear warheads. Originally, these items should be sent back to Russia. However, China has tried so many tricks, and finally the number of Russian nuclear warheads has dropped to about 100, and most of them are sea-based. If Ukraine is allowed to transfer these nuclear warheads back to Russia, then China's previous efforts will be almost in vain. The United States is also unwilling to arm Russia with nuclear weapons again.
Representatives of China and the United States have conducted many rounds of negotiations, and no one like Ukraine has any room to interfere in this kind of thing. The initial intention is that these nuclear warheads will be dismantled and destroyed after supervision, and the nuclear fuel obtained will be purchased by China and the United States from Ukraine at normal prices for use in their own nuclear power generation.
Of course, no one can say whether these weapons-grade nuclear materials will be used to generate electricity or continue to build nuclear bombs.
These are easy to talk about, but what is not easy to talk about is the nuclear disarmament issue between China and the United States. The restrictions imposed by the United States and the Soviet Union are that in the first phase, all types of warheads on both sides will be reduced to 66 (bombers and their missiles are converted according to certain standards), and the number of intercontinental ballistic missile warheads will be limited to less than 26, and intercontinental missile delivery vehicles will be reduced. to 166 pieces, and heavy weapons such as 6-18 are limited to less than 110 pieces.
It is said that this condition was not realized in another dimension until 215.
¡°In fact, it doesn¡¯t matter how such a treaty is signed, because everyone knows that in the end neither party will fully implement it. China has eaten most of the Soviet Union's nuclear warheads, and its nuclear arsenal has expanded to about 360 nuclear warheads. Most of the nuclear warheads and nuclear equipment have been recycled and remade by crushing cranes, and turned into new Chinese standard nuclear weapons, which can be used together Qi Yiming's freezer space storage, even if China says it abandons nuclear weapons in extreme circumstances, Qi Yiming can actually hide all these things in the freezer space and take them out when needed.
The general conditions for the nuclear disarmament agreement proposed by China are to reduce the total number of nuclear warheads to 1,060, strategic warheads to 36, and intercontinental delivery vehicles to 26. The possession of heavy weapons such as 6-18 is prohibited.
The Second Artillery Force routinely possesses 20 Dongfeng 4L land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles and 30 Dongfeng-IA missiles.?, there are more than 2 fixed Dongfeng missiles, and the Navy holds about 400 Julang intercontinental missiles. With missiles with a range of about 8,660 kilometers, the Second Artillery also has 60 Dongfeng-I missiles and the Navy has 100 Julang-2 missiles. If we add in the Air Force's bombers as nuclear warheads, China's strategic nuclear weapons now total about 26.
¡°Well, these are nuclear weapons built by China itself, not counting the Soviet Union. If you include those from Russia, you basically have to multiply that number by .
The current number of intercontinental nuclear vehicles in the United States is generally not much greater than this number. After all, the cost of manufacturing an intercontinental missile is extremely high, and the United States cannot afford such a burning method even if it has money.
Although there are some differences between the plan proposed by China and the previous Soviet plan, the Americans still accepted it. They even secretly rejoice that the Chinese are willing to abolish their martial arts, because the United States will definitely not conscientiously cut down its nuclear weapons to the required number.
But even so, it won¡¯t be too much. Maybe the main tricks are type and power. Furthermore, if it is really needed, the United States' nuclear weapons production capabilities are quite terrifying. On the other hand, if it is really a comprehensive nuclear war, maybe the production capacity of nuclear weapons is actually useless.
While the United States is calling for China¡¯s nuclear disarmament, it is stepping up the development of newer and more powerful nuclear weapons vehicles. This year, the U.S. military tested Trident 2 submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missiles multiple times, and all of them were successful. This is actually a naked deterrent. The United States has a large-scale underwater nuclear weapons launch platform and a strategic nuclear submarine force. China's rapid expansion has put pressure on the United States. They also need to let the Chinese know that even if they become stronger, the United States will still be stronger.
Qi Yiming also knows that the so-called nuclear weapons capabilities of the United States, including those militiamen and peacekeepers in land-based silos, can be eliminated in the first round with vacuum implosion bombs or neutron bombs (the fast neutron flow formed by neutron bombs will It has a counteracting effect on nuclear reactions and changes the structure of atomic nuclei, thus preventing nuclear explosions. It is a purely theoretical weapon, I don¡¯t know if it can work). As for those bombers, Qi Yiming looked down upon them. He was very confident in the air defense within 30 kilometers outside the country. So the ones that are a bit troublesome are the Ohio-class ones in the United States.
Build a more mature anti-submarine system, and even put in high-cost monitoring devices in all oceans to grasp the movements of enemy nuclear submarines as soon as a nuclear war breaks out. The biggest task of the Navy's current attack nuclear submarines is to search for US military strategic nuclear submarines in the ocean. To this end, there are at least 10 attack nuclear submarines cruising in sea areas where US military strategic nuclear submarines often operate.
For China, maintaining the current scale of its own standard nuclear weapons is enough to deter any enemy. What needs to be improved is mainly the tactical nuclear weapons. In addition to small-yield explosive tactical nuclear weapons, the Second Artillery hopes to equip more effect-tailored bombs, that is, third-generation nuclear weapons based on neutron bombs, shock wave bombs, and electromagnetic pulse bombs. The platforms carrying these tactical nuclear weapons are mainly land-based short- and medium-range ballistic missiles, sea-based cruise missiles, air-based air-to-ground missiles and guided bombs.
The excess part, that is, the nuclear warheads looted from the Soviet Union, were either used to generate electricity after processing, or were made into new Chinese standard nuclear weapons by Qi Yiming. It is worth mentioning that the Soviet Union secretly manufactured the "Great Destroyer", a super-heavy ballistic missile with a yield of 4.06-66 million. After Qi Yiming obtained one, he launched a scientific research team to reverse engineer it. Then the original design was improved and completed, and a Chinese version of the super-heavy copycat Great Destroyer was developed, codenamed "Chi You".
The Chiyou missile is slightly smaller than the Great Destroyer. It uses an updated power system. The structural strength of the missile has also been enhanced due to improved materials. It has a range of 1,560 kilometers. Its orbit-changing maneuverability and anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities have been improved. Qi Yiming was a little uneasy about building such a large firecracker. After all, the human tragedy caused by the Great Destroyer happened not long ago. Chi You's power was 660,000 tons, which was even more powerful than the Great Destroyer. . It goes against the trend of the development of modern nuclear weapons with a yield of less than 100,000 tons. This thing is basically used for massacre, not for fighting.
Although he does not want Chi You missiles to be used, Qi Yiming still plans to manufacture 10 of these missiles. In the most extreme case, these missiles will be used to destroy the country. They will be used when the country and nation face the greatest threat. This big guy, Qi Yiming probably won't have any hesitation.
