Two hundred and sixty-fourth interception(1/3)
Colum had no worries at all that his behavior would be discovered.
Although Nobita was very important to the Soviet Union in the past, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, both the former Soviet Union franchises and Russia, which inherited most of the Soviet Union's wealth, were extremely short of funds, that is, money...
Although Russia has slowed down due to the rise in oil prices, it has only slowed down.
It is also because of this relationship that Japan even thought of using economic aid to exchange the four northern islands from Russia. Of course, this is basically impossible. In fact, Russia had also considered returning the Hebamai Islands and Schkotan Island of the four northern islands to Japan, but was rejected by Japan.
The reason is simple, not because Japan wants to bring all four islands back, but because the Hebamai Islands and Schkotan Island belong to the smaller of the four northern islands, and their entire area only accounts for 7 of the disputed territory.
Even the Japanese themselves said. "This is not a problem that half of the four islands can be returned. The area of these two islands only accounts for 7 of the total area of the Southern Kuril Islands. If the remaining 93 are not returned, it will not be fair."
There is only 7, no wonder the Japanese don't want it anymore. Even if they want it, they still want the remaining 93. But if that's the case, the Russians themselves probably won't want it anymore.
It was precisely because Russia was short of money that when the Soviet Union had just collapsed in the early years, Colun purchased many uninhabited islands from the Russians and other former Soviet franchisees.
The base located near Nobita Island is one of them.
What is Columb’s identity? He is a dead merchant and a legendary arms dealer. No matter what he does, he cannot use his true identity. In fact, if he is only an identity, he has at least a dozen, each with a different name.
Originally, buying and selling islands would be investigated carefully no matter which country it was. However, the Russians were so poor that they were so poor that they naturally did not investigate seriously in the face of large amounts of cash. Even if someone investigated, it would be OK to bribe them.
As for which missiles?
When Russia disintegrated, a lot of this kind of thing flowed out. Not to mention missiles, there were even nuclear bombs. Even armed helicopters were sold as civilians. The method was very simple. Selling armed helicopters and missiles separately would not be considered smuggling arms...
And this was a legal loophole for the United Nations at the end of the Cold War.
———————————————————
In the base, when the person in charge issued the launch order, all the missiles in the base were fired out of the launch silo. After the order was issued, they directly took a submarine to withdraw from the base. As a former powerful country, Russia has a very complete warning system. For the United States, due to its former eastward advance plan, many radars were deployed on the Russian border. In other words, the missiles were discovered by these two countries at the same time when they were fired. If they chose to take a plane or a boat at this time, it was basically equivalent to sitting there waiting to be arrested.
So the safest thing is naturally the submarine.
On the other hand, just as Colum and the base head thought, the world government had already noticed this while the missile was fired.
But Colum seemed to have forgotten a little...
Although the Cold War has been many years since, Russia is no longer the polar bear that used to be - the current polar bear is already hungry and thin.
But even so, Russia still has an extremely huge nuclear arsenal, and in order to ensure the security of its own country, the Russians have been working hard to maintain it. This is also a helpless thing. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it is impossible to fight for the United States.
In 2013, Russia's military expenditure reached 90.7 billion US dollars, while the United States' military expenditure was 682 billion US dollars. Russia's military expenditure was less than one-seventh of that of the United States. This is Russia, which took a breath. In 2011, the Russian** expenses were only more than 50 billion, ranking fifth, ranking below Britain and France, and even only more than 3 billion more than Japan and more than 10 billion more than Saudi Arabia.
It is precisely because the conventional military cannot fight, that the Russians pay so much attention to the nuclear arsenal.
What the United States fears the most is the Russian nuclear arsenal. If this were not the case, the Americans would not take measures to advance eastwardly and press forward step by step.
It is also for this reason that when Russia and the United States discovered dozens of missiles at the same time, Colun's actions almost immediately pushed the situation in the whole world down the most critical moment since the end of the Cold War.
In fact, this is also the energy of Columbia. If it weren't for this, Columbia wouldn't have issued such an order.
If it was during the Cold War, when we saw Russia do this, the United States might have launched a counterattack. This cannot be blamed on the Americans. Who said that the missile was launched near Nobita Island, and everyone knows that it is the Russians.
But now it is not the Cold War period...
As for interception and something...
Although the Americans have conducted many interception tests, in fact, these experiments are not of practical significance at all, because each interception only intercepts one target, that is, only one missile or multiple ones have not been conducted yet. In actual combat, it is obvious that no country will only launch one missile...
If dozens of missiles were fired volleys, even Americans would not be able to guarantee that they could intercept them.
And now is the era of demon fruits. Because of the devil fruits, all teams have turned their attention to how to deal with abilities and strange beasts. Although they attach importance to the wars of conventional troops, they are no longer as good as before. As for intercepting ballistic missiles, they have long been left behind...
Fortunately, it is not during the Cold War, and the relationship between Russia and the United States is not as tense as during the Cold War. So after the early warning appears, the Americans did not blindly fight back, but directly contacted the Russians. In fact, there is no need for special contact, because at this time the Russians were sitting opposite him, of course, the screen.
On the screen, the Russian looked panicked, because he could never have imagined why so many missiles suddenly appeared in his own country.
Moreover, if it is known, it would be fine, but what appeared this time is unknown. In other words, there were so many missiles in the territory under my jurisdiction in the past that I didn’t know...
Well, of course, this doesn't seem to be a strange thing. After all, Russia is so big and its population is so sparse, especially in Siberia. It's not surprising that there is anything. Who knows what was hidden there after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
———————————————————
On the other hand, when the Americans noticed the Russian expressions, he quickly understood.
"Even you don't know about this matter!!!"
"That's right..." After all, I had experienced many storms. After a while of panic, the Russians calmed down again. "In the past, I didn't even know that there were so many missiles in the territory under my jurisdiction..."
After hearing what he said, the Americans believed it, because there is no reason for Russia to do so now, and there will be no benefit. The most important thing is that, not long ago, the Pentagon just heard news that the missiles were not coming to the United States, but in another direction, and the ballistics were very concentrated, and I believe the target was also the same place.
If the Russians really want to play nuclear war, they would not have done so, let alone just a few dozen, it would be impossible to destroy the United States.
Just when the Russians and Americans were talking, the three people next to them were also very nervous. After all, if you are not careful, it will turn into the end of the world.
On the other hand, they were also quietly waiting for the news, wanting to know where the final destination of those missiles was...
As for interception, there is no need to think about it. The hope of interception is very slim, so they can pray now that the missile warhead is a conventional warhead, even if it is a biological and chemical weapon, it doesn’t matter. Never be a nuclear warhead.
"If I know who did this..."
The Russians said fiercely, after all, this incident happened in Russia. As the Russian president, he didn't even know that there were so many missiles hidden in his country. If this incident spreads, the whole of Russia will be embarrassed.
—————————————————————
Looking at the opening door, Yan Shao, Sefilia and others became nervous.
What they are most worried about now is that a lot of demons suddenly popped up in the door, if that's the case...
"Just try the [Thunder Cloud] I just mastered..."
After touching the two wrist armors, Yan Shao said silently in his heart.
With the help of the wrist armor, his speed of generating [Thunder Cloud] was much faster. Even if it could cover the entire base, it would take less than an hour.
Faced with the power of [Thunder Cloud], even the demon at the level of Doomsday Guard will probably not survive. Only the level of the Abyss Lord is still possible.
However, just as Yan Shao and others were concentrating on their attention and preparing to deal with possible situations, the base commander not far away suddenly changed his face, and after a base member whispered in his ear.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at the commander's appearance, Spinak was a little confused.
After gritting his teeth, the commander spoke.
"Just just came from above, saying that many missiles have come from the Russian border. Now it can be confirmed that the target of these missiles is here..."
Although the ballistics of missiles are not unchanged, at least these missiles have not yet changed their ballistics. In contrast, the world government can easily obtain the targets of these missiles.
The Gate of Time and Space…
"impossible!"
When Minov heard the commander say this, he snapped.
"It is absolutely impossible for our government to do such a thing!"
Although the Russians have always been famous for their unreasonable image, Minov believes that unless the Russian bosses are crazy, they will never be able to do such a thing.
What's more, Russia has invested a lot in this time, so it is naturally even more impossible to do such things that harm others and do not benefit oneself.
After all, doing so will become the public enemy of the world.
Hearing Minov say that, the commander shook his head and spoke.
“It’s not what your government does, but…”
“But?”
"It's an unknown force. In fact, even your government did not know in advance that there were so many missiles hidden in your country."
When he said this, the commander also felt some contempt for the Russian government in his heart.
After all, no matter which country, it is impossible for other forces to hide so many things in their own country. After all, this is not a gun or something, but a weapon of mass destruction with huge lethality.
However, he also knew that it was not the time to express these things now. At least when Minov was still on the scene, he did not reveal anything on the surface.
"What should I do now?"
"I don't know either…"
The commander smiled bitterly.
Intercepting ballistic missiles is a very difficult thing for any country. If it weren't, countries around the world wouldn't conduct experiments frequently. After all, it's life-saving, but from another perspective, when nuclear weapons lose their effectiveness, unless there is another thing that can replace nuclear weapons, the world war will not be far away.
After all, human peace is basically protected by nuclear weapons hated by humans.
Only under the terrifying mutual destruction can we ensure that there is no direct conflict between the major powers.
Mutually ensuring the destruction strategy is an integral part of the US nuclear strategy and a flexible response strategy. It means that both the United States and the Soviet Union have reliable second nuclear strike capabilities, that is, after the other party first launches a nuclear strike, their side can still survive and have the ability to completely destroy the other party's nuclear retaliation. Therefore, if either party launches a nuclear attack, it will definitely be retaliated against. As long as this "stable terrorist peace" is maintained, it can deter both sides from daring to launch strategic nuclear attacks to avoid nuclear war, otherwise the United States and the Soviet Union may die together.
The core idea of the mutual guaranteed destruction strategy is to establish nuclear deterrence. The strategy was proposed by US Secretary of Defense R.S. McNamara in 1964. In terms of nuclear strike targets, he advocated focusing on attacking urban targets and destroying all the other party's cities in retaliation strikes, thereby threatening them, so that the other party dare not launch nuclear assaults on the United States. In terms of the scale of nuclear power, he believed that as long as the United States has the nuclear force to eliminate one-quarter to one-third of the Soviet Union's population and destroying one-half to two-thirds of its industrial production capacity, it can meet the requirements of ensuring destruction.
Based on the population distribution and industrial layout of the United States and the Soviet Union, McNamara proposed that 4 billion tons of equivalent nuclear explosive force is the peak of this requirement. Based on this, he designed a "Trinity" strategic nuclear force for the United States, whose scale includes: 1,000 "Minister" ballistic missiles, 54 "Hercules" II ballistic missiles, 656 submarine-launched missiles and 534 B-52 strategic bombers. In the United States, this strategy not only played a role in the 1960s, but also was one of the nuclear strategic theories that played a practical role before the end of the Cold War relations between the United States and the Soviet Union.
———————————————————
Although all countries have methods to intercept ballistic missiles, they are not very mature, and at least they do not have much effect on large-scale attacks.
Then, even if it is mature, Greenland is obviously not a key target of attack, and the equipment used for interception will naturally not be placed here. Even in the stage of base construction, the world government did not expect anyone to attack here with ballistic missiles.
In other words, at least the world government is helpless when facing the incoming missile cluster.
"What should I do now? Are you just waiting for them to fly down and land on our heads?"
