President Carter finally stood up and said: "I'm sorry, I thought I came with sincerity to restore peace in this world, maybe I am too ideal, I want to be the peace ambassador of this world, the entire human civilization, look now Come, I can only leave with regret."
With a guy like Ustinov here, he is destined to be unable to communicate with the other party, because the other party has never thought about communicating, so peace cannot be achieved.
Carter said to Brezhnev: "Mr. General Secretary, human civilization has been five thousand years old. It is cruel to let five thousand years of human civilization be destroyed in the hands of our generation. It is also very helpless. For the entire universe, it may be only a moment. In the future, I don't know if a new civilization will be born."
Carter was really frustrated. He thought he would go home empty-handed, but he still had to try it. As long as he left here, then the subsequent nuclear strikes would come.
Even if you can leave the Soviet Union alive or not, even if you have four fighter jets on your side, but if the Soviets want to kill themselves along the way, it is too simple, and you don’t even need to do anything else. Just do some small movements for your own plane. .
He stepped forward and walked outside. Before he reached the door, he saw the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union. Regardless of the order of the meeting, he rushed in and leaned toward Ustinov. He said a few words low, and in an instant, Ustinov's face changed color.
A burst of red and a burst of white, his body even began to tremble because of anger.
Even President Carter was surprised. What's the matter
"President Carter, you really came here with sincerity. On the one hand, you are talking to us and want to be a messenger of peace. On the other hand, you secretly destroy our satellites in space! You said we want to destroy the earth. , But you don’t even let the outer space go!"
Ustinov was quite angry.
The Soviet Union is not afraid of nuclear strikes. Now, the Soviet Union has made sufficient preparations. Dozens of ballistic missile nuclear submarines have left the port and lurked deep in the ocean, waiting for orders at any time.
This command, of course, is transmitted through satellites, which is the most direct form.
At the same time, satellites are also responsible for monitoring the firing of enemy ballistic missiles.
Since the first artificial satellite went into the sky, the Soviet Union and the United States have launched a large number of satellites for various missions. Now, the Soviets suddenly discovered that their satellites in orbit are losing contact one by one!
Reconnaissance satellites, communication satellites, ballistic missile early-warning satellites, etc., a series of satellites are being destroyed. The Americans must have done it! Space is quiet, but that does not mean that there will be no gunpowder in space. Now, space has become a focus of the two sides' contention.
During the Cold War, how many secrets there were were not deciphered until the end of the Cold War, and in space, there were even fewer deciphering, but it can be speculated that during the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union were both trying to destroy each other’s satellite.
When it reached its peak in the 1980s, it was the Star Wars plan proposed by President Reagan. Now, although it has just entered the door of the 1980s, some anti-satellite technologies in the United States have reached practical use.
For example, particle weapons.
Laser weapons are more well-known. After all, this thing is often realized in science fiction. Aliens have laser guns in their hands, and the spacecraft is also a laser cannon.
However, no one has calculated the power it needs. Even if it is a laser gun, the energy it needs is definitely not something that can be carried by a battery, at least it must be a small hydropower station.
As for the laser cannon, the nuclear power plant can only supply it. This huge energy consumption is destined to be an illusion.
The particle beam weapon is to accelerate charged particles, such as protons, electrons, etc. Although the mass of a single particle is very small, when it is accelerated to a very high speed, the effect of mass relativity will greatly magnify it. Mass, which brings terrible energy, carries out kinetic energy killing.
To accelerate particles, you need an accelerator, the most common in the laboratory.
No one knows when the United States made breakthroughs in this technology. In short, now that it is at a critical juncture, the United States has finally sacrificed this magic weapon.
This weapon, even in later generations, has not completed all the research and development. After all, there are still many problems, such as still requiring terrible energy, such as its extremely large size, such as severe attenuation in the atmosphere, and so on.
However, the United States and the Soviet Union are actually doing their best to study. Now, the Americans use it to strike satellites in space, which greatly hinders the launch of the Soviets’ ballistic missiles. Ustinov is angry. of.
Peace, you keep talking about peace, and now you have actually started!
Compared with the United States, the Soviet Union has stricter discipline. Without Moscow's order, who would dare to launch nuclear bombs? It can be said that destroying their satellites has temporarily abolished the counterattack power of Soviet nuclear submarines.
Neither party can guarantee that all targets of the other party will be destroyed in the first wave. Therefore, they must retain the capability of a second nuclear strike. The Soviet Union mainly relies on missile trains and nuclear submarines.
Nuclear submarines can no longer be contacted for the time being, and many missile trains require satellite contact. Although radio can also be contacted, will the Americans give up the opportunity for interference
Ustinov’s face was gloomy. At present, the Soviet Union has not made breakthroughs in this area of technology, that is to say, they are not capable of destroying American satellites for the time being.
The US's nuclear counterattack capability is perfect. Once a nuclear war really breaks out, it will be detrimental to the Soviet Union!
"Mr. President, please stay in Moscow for the time being, we need to discuss it." At this moment, Gromyko said.
Carter breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the Soviets are showing signs of concession. As long as the Soviets are willing to make concessions, as long as the nuclear war cannot be fought, he can still leave a fortune in the last term of the president.
It’s just that the Soviets’ satellite system was destroyed, it’s not an order from him
Could it be that Nathan made the decision
When President Carter handed over the nuclear suitcase and the gold card to Nathan, it was up to Nathan whether the world could survive. Although this did not conform to the laws of the United States, the subordinates still acquiesced in all this.
Seeing that the earth is going to be destroyed, what do you care about so many shit rules and regulations
Nathan picked up the nuclear suitcase, which was equivalent to a stand-in for President Carter. At this time, after discussing with the other generals, Nathan decided to give President Carter a little more confidence in his trip? (End of this chapter)
