King Who Will Cross

Although the world Li Daniu traveled through was not the same world as the world he lived in in his previous life, many major historical events had striking similarities.

For example, on July 1, 1968, in both worlds, more than 50 countries including the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union jointly signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

By 2013, the number of parties to the treaty reached 186, including almost all countries on the planet.

The strategic-class nuclear submarine purchased in New Tuvalu, carrying twelve nuclear warheads with an explosive power exceeding 100,000 tons of TNT explosive equivalent, completely disappeared behind the blockade of the United States and Britain. Everyone who knew the news became nervous.

In a conference room of the Pentagon in the United States, the current President of the United States Oakes was having an emergency meeting with the leaders of the US government.

Oakes said: I want to know, what is the attack range of that strategic-class nuclear submarine? And whether it can get close to our coastline and carry out nuclear strikes on our inland cities. If it launches nuclear weapons, do we have the capabilities? Interception ability?”

A person with the rank of admiral said: According to the information we have obtained, the effective attack range of that strategic-class nuclear submarine is 8,000 kilometers. In other words, it does not need to be close to our coastline to attack anywhere in our country. Carrying out a nuclear strike.

A lieutenant general added: Based on the incredible stealth capabilities displayed by the target nuclear submarine when we intercepted it, we determined that the other party has the ability to approach our coastline. But we do not have the ability to do so before the other party launches nuclear weapons. , discover the other party’s ability.”

Oaks' face became darker and darker, and he emphasized again: I hope you can tell me good news. For example, even if it launches a nuclear bomb, we can intercept it in time.

Everyone in the conference room fell silent. After hesitating for a while, the admiral said: The opponent's strategic-class nuclear submarine is a nuclear submarine with ballistic missiles made by the former Soviet Union, so its attack range can reach 8,000 kilometers. According to relevant intelligence, That strategic-class nuclear submarine has twelve intercontinental missiles and is equipped with twelve 200,000-ton nuclear warheads. However, that kind of ballistic missile does not have the ability to be launched by diving, and the submarine needs to rise above the sea level for launch.

Oaks looked at the admiral with a dark face and said, Is this good news?

The admiral said with some embarrassment: According to the ballistic missile defense system we currently deploy, if the opponent launches a ballistic missile alone, our interception success rate is 87%.

If 12 ballistic missiles are launched continuously, our interception success rate is 53%.

Oaks's face turned darker and he said: In other words, we are facing the threat of 6 nuclear warheads? Do you need me to remind you? The power of those six nuclear warheads, each one is the same as the one we exploded on Hiroshima. Four times the size of a boy nuke!”

The conference room fell into silence again. A minute later, a lieutenant general said in a low voice: When ballistic missiles attack targets, they need to be guided, and New Tuvalu does not have military satellites. In other words, they can only use submarines. The guidance system on the aircraft will strike fixed targets. In this case, our interception success rate will increase by about 20%.

Oaks suddenly shouted loudly: What I want is 100% interception success. As long as there is one percent chance, we will suffer huge losses.

A White House staff member said: We can use the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to force New Tuvalu to hand over that strategic-class nuclear submarine.

Oakes looked at the staff officer like a fool and said: Who told you that New Tuvalu has a strategic-class nuclear submarine? Did New Tuvalu tell you? That is a strategic-class nuclear submarine that cannot be found. Come on, do you think he will admit that he has strategic-class nuclear submarines?

Also, if you ask him to hand it over, will he hand it over obediently? If you think you can do it, then go to New Tuvalu now!

The staff officer lowered his head in embarrassment, and everyone else fell silent again.

Another staff officer suggested: We can impose sanctions on New Tuvalu!

After Oaks heard this, he felt for the first time that his staff were somewhat under-intelligence.

If your words are heard by cancer patients in the United States, what do you think they will do to you? Or, after New Tuvalu develops a treatment for AIDS, let the AIDS patients in the United States thank you. Propose sanctions against New Tuvalu so they can’t get treatment?”

The staff officer who proposed sanctions also lowered his head in shame. He had completely forgotten what kind of response they had received to the sanctions against New Tuvalu.

Oaks felt a headache at the moment and complained in his heart: Why did there be such big trouble during my term?

If New Tuvalu, like some countries, begins to research nuclear weapons, then the United States can also use some means against it. But instead of doing research, New Tuvalu purchased a batch of nuclear weapons and a strategic-class nuclear submarine.

The admiral said: I think that since New Tuvalu is willing to negotiate with our delegation about robots, it shows that they also want peaceful development. That strategic-class nuclear submarine is just a means for them to seek self-protection. .”

Oaks rubbed his aching head and said, Of course I know this, but I cannot allow our American people to be constantly threatened by nuclear weapons.

The military representatives at the Pentagon almost couldn't help but roll their eyes. This sounded high-sounding, but what was it actually like?

Isn't it because I covet New Tuvalu's technology and want to use force to seize it, but now I find that I can't use force against New Tuvalu, so I am naturally unhappy.

The meeting continued, but after discussing for a long time, there was still no effective way to contain a strategic-class nuclear submarine.

Oakes finally set the tone.

Strengthen the monitoring of New Tuvalu. The pilot on that strategic-class nuclear submarine will definitely need various supplies. If discovered, you all should know what to do. Also, send relevant spies into New Tuvalu again. The military, the fifty new Tuvalu submarine pilots, will inevitably need to be rotated. We must do our best to find the strategic-class nuclear submarine as soon as possible and by any means.

…

When the relevant meeting was held in the United States, other countries that knew about this matter also held similar meetings. The results of the meeting were much the same.

The only country that has taken direct and practical actions is China.

Let our strategic-class nuclear submarines temporarily stay within the waters of New Tuvalu. Seize the Dongfeng series missiles that are to be delivered to New Tuvalu, and tell New Tuvalu that we have technical problems. Deliveries suspended.

When New Tuvalu did not have nuclear warheads, China did not mind selling it to New Tuvalu Dongfeng ballistic missiles, because with conventional missiles alone, the lethality was not worth worrying about. But now that New Tuvalu has nuclear warheads, if New Tuvalu has the ability to install the nuclear warheads on strategic-class nuclear submarines on Dongfeng missiles, wouldn't it be a big deal?

The positioning capabilities of the Dongfeng series missiles are much stronger than the missile positioning capabilities of the strategic-class nuclear submarine built by the former Soviet Union.

When New Tuvalu received the news, they did not feel surprised, but directly replied that they did not want it. Then he made a request to let China use other armaments to offset the Dongfeng missile at an equivalent price.

After receiving New Tuvalu's reply, China responded promptly and agreed to New Tuvalu's request.

It’s just a conventional weapon, so what happens if you give it to them?

During this period, Burns and Castro also completed preliminary negotiations with delegations from three countries.

This is what happens between countries. Even if they were fighting over some issues just a moment ago, they would even start arranging troops. But if there is an interest appeal, the next moment, they can sit together and start negotiating with a smile.
