At the airport on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, groups of US bombers lined up in the early morning light. Only the dots of lights could reveal the busyness here. The US military pilots were already gearing up, and every one of their faces was filled with emotion. Tired and nervous. "Guys, today's operation may be the last operation before the end of the war. If it goes well, we may achieve the final victory, or we may fall into the abyss of eternal destruction, but no matter what, this is our last step. . I know that each of you may be scared, worried, and nervous now, but these emotions will not help you on the battlefield, nor will they make you feel better after the action. I hope that you are all simple-minded professional warriors at this time. Don't think too much, just complete your mission and obey the orders." The commander of the US military base said to the US pilots meticulously. I believe everyone is feeling heavy at this moment. They already know what kind of mission they are about to carry out, not to mention how safe the mission is and how high the chance of returning alive is. Just imagine that two nuclear powers start throwing nuclear bombs at each other, ensuring mutual destruction. What the situation will be like is already a very scary thing. Even if they successfully return safely, they may face a situation where they no longer have a country. Their relatives and friends have died in the nuclear explosion, and the U.S. government may have been wiped off the earth, leaving only a nuclear wasteland to greet them. Because the consequences are unimaginable and impossible to accept, the U.S. military commander asked his soldiers not to think about it, but to just do it. Because once you think about this kind of thing, you can't continue to execute it. It was like a B6 bomber crew member who just refused to board the plane, howling that he was absolutely not the executioner who massacred hundreds of thousands of civilians, and was never willing to plunge the earth into a nuclear war. However, his awe-inspiring righteousness did not last long, as he was dragged out by soldiers from the U.S. Military Justice Department and shot to death in public. All the US soldiers were shocked, because such things almost never happen in the US military, but extraordinary actions are taken in extraordinary times. Now the US military is all about war, and cannot tolerate any disharmonious factors that may damage the US military's plan. According to the plan, bombers taking off from Guam, Hawaii, and even the mainland of the US military will, after being refueled in the air, fly directly to the mainland of China or even near the mainland of China, including several major allies of China. The B6, which can launch nuclear cruise missiles, will start attacking from a relatively peripheral area, while the B2 will fly over Chinese territory and then launch an attack. At this time, the strength of the U.S. space-based nuclear weapons force has been greatly reduced. After several air battles, the U.S. bombers suffered relatively serious losses. However, this time, the U.S. military still prepared all available aircraft and nuclear vehicles, preparing to launch the most terrifying and catastrophic attack. scale nuclear attack. As for how many bombers can escape the interception of China's huge fighter fleet and rush into the attack radius, it is really a big question mark. But at this time, the Americans couldn't care too much. They could only go on resolutely, gamble all the chips in their hands, and go crazy for the last time. At the same time, in the deep ocean, the US military's Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarine is also making final preparations. "All the missiles were shot out at once? Oh my god, what on earth are you going to do?" The XO of the USS Maryland nuclear submarine was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He looked at his captain in disbelief, who was in the same situation as him. In a trance. Strategic nuclear submarines like the USS Maryland do not necessarily fill all missile launch tubes with Tridents. Sometimes their launch management is filled with conventional warhead missiles, and sometimes they may not be loaded at all. But even if a dozen Trident 11 submarine-launched ballistic missiles are installed, it is no longer a problem to destroy a medium-sized country. For example, in the eastern coastal provinces of China, an Ohio-class carrying multiple warheads may be able to destroy most of them. . At this time, the United States has two Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarines. After the disarmament agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union in the other plane, the United States canceled the Ohio-class manufacturing plan. However, in this plane, the strong rise of China gave the United States a huge sense of crisis, so it restarted Construction plans for the Ohio class. About one-third of the Ohio-class are on combat readiness cruise. After the outbreak of the war, this number became more. Usually, what American strategic nuclear submarines need to do is hide in the deep sea, waiting for activation at any time. At the same time, they It also needs to be prepared for hunting by Chinese attack nuclear submarines and even conventional submarines. The number of Chinese submarines is many times that of the United States. Especially in offshore areas, there are a large number of small and medium-sized submarines operating, which is extremely dangerous for strategic nuclear submarines. Even on the high seas, it is possible to encounter attack nuclear submarines that are also performing combat readiness patrol missions. The meaning of their existence is to find those enemy nuclear submarines. After discovering them, they may not attack immediately, but just stick to their tails. If necessary, these strategic nuclear submarines will be sunk immediately. So after the war broke out, Ohio in the United StatesThe Russian class calmed down a bit and strictly followed the instructions in the combat manual to avoid any encounters and contact with Chinese attack nuclear submarines. A few months ago, an Ohio-class nuclear submarine encountered a Chinese Type 096 attack nuclear submarine in the Pacific waters. If the US military had not sent a large number of ships to support it, and it is close to Hawaii, I am afraid that this Ohio-class nuclear submarine would have Can't keep it. "If we launch a missile, I am afraid that we will be discovered immediately by Chinese submarines in nearby waters. The Chinese have too many submarines, and the risk of our exposure is too great." XO said nervously. The captain said: "But an order is an order, and disobeying it is a cowardly act." The XO said: "But if it is carried out, we will become butchers." "Have the Chinese killed too many innocent civilians? "The captain found a way to defend himself. "Captain, this is your decision, we will all go with you." XO said to the captain, returning the pressure to him. The captain of the Maryland sighed, pondered for a moment and said: "Be ready for the final launch. The war has reached this point. Even if we don't launch, others will definitely launch. A nuclear war is coming. In this world, No one knows what it will be like in the future. "At the U.S. military's land-based rocket launch base, the new nuclear-weapon ballistic missiles that were developed from the 1960s and 1970s to recent years have also entered the final stage of launch preparations. The air force is the same as the navy. The soldiers here are also confused and panicked. But in an organization like the army, no matter how scared and hesitant they are, as long as the order is issued and the organization is complete, the soldiers will involuntarily become a link in the entire chain. , completing the task mechanically. With the exception of the Waverider, the United States has not developed any road-mobile strategic weapons, so almost all land-based ballistic missiles are placed in fixed launch bases. Malmstrom Air Force Base has been a ballistic missile launch site for the US military since the 1960s. However, it has never carried out actual combat missions other than training. Today, Malmstrom is about to conduct its first actual combat mission since its establishment. . An officer at the base said worriedly: "When China was involved in the war with Russia, it paralyzed the entire Russia's ability to use nuclear weapons in one fell swoop. All those missile silos were eliminated, and no nuclear explosions were caused. I am afraid that the Chinese What is used is a vacuum implosion bomb. If the Chinese want to launch a nuclear counterattack against us, wouldn¡¯t we be doomed if they use this vacuum implosion bomb?¡± Another officer also said: ¡°Yes, we will die in a vacuum implosion?¡± It is really the saddest thing to be under a bomb. It is said that you can create a black hole by taking something and suck everything in. Wouldn't there be no corpses in this case? "The officer next to him was a little more optimistic and said: "China Maybe we can't hit our homeland with vacuum implosion ballistic missiles. We still have an advanced and powerful anti-missile system. "The pessimist said: "But in terms of anti-missile, China should be stronger. They are. They all have mid-course anti-missile capabilities. Maybe our missiles didn't hit successfully, but theirs did. " "Thomas, why don't you ask the Brigadier General to evacuate the base immediately after the launch. Even if we are hit, at least we will. If you survive, you won't be swallowed directly into a black hole." The officer said with a grimace: "Not to mention such unreliable suggestions, the Brigadier will not listen at all, even if we do escape from Malmstrom Base. Where can we escape? It is conservatively estimated that China has 20,000 to 30,000 nuclear warheads. There is no problem that these nuclear warheads can destroy the United States dozens of times. Can you be sure that other places except Malmstrom are safe?" Everyone sighed repeatedly, and some people said: "The war has reached this point. The Chinese Army has broken through the Yukon and entered Canada. It is impossible for us to win. Why can't we admit defeat with dignity? At least we will not destroy all the troops." The lives of 300 million people in the United States are at stake. "The officer said: "Because those politicians are crazy and incomprehensible. Moreover, sometimes we really can't afford to lose, like China. , I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s impossible without heavily training and weakening us. Who wants to see their country decline and lose its dignity? ¡°Is this a reason to launch a nuclear war?¡± There are still some people who are very worried. Angry. But no matter how angry and panicked these people are, in the end they still need to carry out the orders issued by their superiors. Just as panicked as these American soldiers are the well-informed American financial group donors. They have had a huge influence on politics for a long time, but the wartime state has given politicians greater power to use power, which also makes the financial groups They were constantly suppressed in the war. Now, George W. Bush even wants to use nuclear war in an attempt to make a comeback, which has angered a group of interest groups that were already dissatisfied with George W. Bush, so these interest groups did a disgraceful thing. They became the leading party. These interestsThe group has a large and well-connected information network in the government. When the news of the nuclear war came out, they immediately made a choice to defect to China, which was supposed to be their enemy. Their agency in China immediately notified Chinese officials of the situation, allowing China to obtain a response window in advance before a nuclear strike. Of course, these interest groups are trying to use this news to exchange for more benefits, but China will not let go and will never accept the hegemonic terms of these interest groups.
