Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 422 Pseudo Intercontinental Missile

ps: gorgeous and embarrassing!Many people left a message yesterday, saying that they wanted to see the apocalyptic tanks.Gorgeous can only say that there are so many opportunities in the future.

I will send four thousand words first, and I will try my best today to send two chapters of six thousand words.

——————

At the foot of the Sulud Mountains, Snake Valley, which was previously avoided by Somalis, is now in the base satellite launch center.

The two satellite assembly factories hidden deep in the mountain have been in a state of high tension and busyness since the outbreak of the war.

At this moment, after meeting with Zeng Zhihua, Li Lan took a special car to the satellite launch center.

All this is busy to implement the anti-deterrence plan formulated by Li Lan, and the most important part of anti-deterrence is the intercontinental missile.It is necessary to make the outside world understand that Somalia has the ability to conduct intercontinental strikes.

Deterrence does not lie in true and false, but in the speculation between what is and is not in the outside world. Unknown things are often more vigilant.

Li Lan didn't have that thing for intercontinental vehicles, and naturally he didn't have nuclear bombs.But this didn't prevent him from releasing smoke bombs, combining virtual and real, as long as it could be understood by the outside world.The fake can also be made real.The starting point for all this is to bet that the United States believes that he really has a nuclear bomb, and let the United States see that he has the ability to send a nuclear bomb to the United States.

If he can't deceive, then Li Lan really needs China to provide a nuclear umbrella. Maybe it will be too late.So, this is a gamble, and risk means huge benefits.

If you let the outside world know, and there is a 30% chance of believing that he has a nuclear bomb, it will make a lot of money.On the contrary, it will immediately attract even stronger nuclear retaliation from the United States.

As for whether nuclear weapons will lead to new crises, Li Lan is confident that Somalia is not Iran, the war has already been fought, Europe and the United States have also seen the results, and at best it is only an economic blockade.Instead, the new military crisis will gradually disappear.In the future, at best, it will be just talking about each other.However, these are based on the fact that the war can end as Li Lan imagined.

Iran's nuclear development began in 1957.At that time, the Pahlavi dynasty of Iran was an important strategic barrier for the United States and the West to contain the former Soviet Union in the Gulf region. Therefore, the Iranian nuclear program was supported by Western countries.In the 1960s, the United States provided Iran with some small nuclear facilities.The so-called Iranian nuclear issue appeared in the 1980s due to the Islamic Revolution in Iran.The U.S. and Iran are at odds. Since then, the U.S. has implemented a policy of containment against Iran. After the Iran-Iraq War ended, the U.S. has repeatedly accused Iran of secretly developing nuclear weapons under the cover of peaceful use of nuclear energy.

The Iranian nuclear issue evolved into a nuclear crisis after the 9/11 incident, after which Bush listed Iran as one of the three "axis of evil" in his State of the Union address.Iran may be "only one to three years away from building a nuclear weapon." Therefore, Tehran's nuclear capability has become a "heart disease" of the top White House.

Since then, the United States has continuously increased its political and military pressure on Iran.Regardless of the outcome of the US presidential election this year, the United States is unlikely to sit by and watch the Iranians master nuclear weapons technology.at the same time.Facing pressure from the United States, Iran has also accelerated the development of its own military self-defense capabilities.This has intensified the existing nuclear issue and eventually evolved into a nuclear crisis.

Somalia first broke out the war, and it has been very lively, and the nuclear weapons that Li Lan intends to display are extremely sudden, and there is no time to brew the so-called nuclear crisis.As long as someone from the outside believes that Somalia really has nuclear weapons, the Somalia nuclear issue that has become a fait accompli will become like North Korean nuclear weapons.

Of course, all of this is Li Lan's high-altitude flight. The base has not yet been able to produce nuclear bombs. In the combat laboratory, Li Lan has not been able to find a physics talent until now.I have no clue when studying nuclear weapons myself.

Fortunately, he has another thing that is easy to bluff, and that is the launch vehicle in the spy satellite unit.This is a three-stage solid fuel propellant rocket, enough to send objects with a mass of six tons to the high-altitude orbit of the earth, if the satellite cabin is modified.Change it to look like a ballistic missile cabin, then reset the launched data and the orbit of the simulated warhead, modify it to enter the atmosphere, complete the simulated warhead in the satellite cabin and then counter the atmosphere.In this way.A deterrent intercontinental missile appeared.According to the range of the launch vehicle, these simulated warheads can reach more than 13,000 kilometers after they counter the atmosphere.

If the satellite launches in the west, despite the drag and pull of the earth, it will severely limit the rocket's flight speed and fuel consumption, but the range will not decrease much, because the earth rotates eastward.

According to the calculations of the base scientists, if this launch vehicle carries a warhead, it is enough to attack all the land on the east coast of the United States, and it can reach thousands of kilometers into the United States.Launching to the east, it can hit Guam in the Pacific Ocean and then six to seven hundred kilometers east.

In other words, whether it is launched eastward or westward, according to the capability of the launch vehicle, it can deter the entire Indian Ocean, most of the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean and the entire Western Pacific Ocean.If it is to the northeast, Russia's Siberia and even the United States' Alaska are within the attack range.(The earth is round, don’t take a flat map and a ruler!)

The range that can be hit covers 65% of the earth’s land. Unfortunately, a large number of US military bases and the continental United States are all within this range.It would be great if it were a real nuclear bomb, but...

If you use this launch vehicle to launch some conventional warheads, it is also possible to use this launch vehicle to launch some conventional warheads, but this kind of long-range strike weapon that is extremely misunderstood, regardless of whether there is a nuclear bomb in it, is too easy to cause a nuclear counterattack if it is wrong.

Therefore, Li Lan did not intend to install some conventional warheads on this launch vehicle to strike the United States.Instead, it is very "peaceful" to install some experimental warheads, which can be used for experimental research as well as deterrence.

Originally, Li Lan still had a very good method, which was to use attack nuclear submarines to go around the United States to show off his muscles, but currently there are only three nuclear submarines, and only three submarines to protect the dual aircraft carrier battle group. There is already some reluctance, and it is not suitable to take risks at this time.And this approach requires a long period of preparation. After all, from Somalia to the Atlantic, it is necessary to bypass the Cape of Good Hope.The whole journey exceeds 10,000 nautical miles, and the travel time is a problem.If you really set off from Somalia to the Atlantic Ocean by submarine, the war is probably over.

In the two launch vehicle production and satellite assembly plants located in the mountain's belly, Li Lan's arrival was like a drop of water into the sea, without causing any waves.Every engineer and scientist is busy with the work at hand. After seeing Li Lan, it is just a simple salute.Continue to get busy again.

Changing the launch vehicle into a ballistic missile cannot be accomplished in a short while.For these scientists and engineers in the factory, the order Li Lan issued is not a simple modification work, but a series of basic modifications to ensure that each system on the launch vehicle can be perfectly integrated after modification. .If the project is simple.The missile family in India would not be so decadent.

In seven days, scientists and engineers have at least four days for system modification work. The flight trajectory of the launch vehicle and the simulation bomb in the satellite cabin must form a high tacit understanding, which consumes all three solid propulsion devices. When the fuel is finished, when the missile bay is separated from the last stage of the thruster.The missile bay opens, and the simulated bombs inside must operate at the same time.

After completing the first part of the mission, from three days ago, the main focus was on the final inspection of the simulated bomb and the inspection of the connection with the satellite.

Today, when all six simulated bombs have been built, the final assembly of this intercontinental ballistic missile has begun.

After Li Lan walked in, the scientists and engineers worked together.A complete missile is lying flat on the giant railcar. The missile is connected to a large number of wires and connected to the computer next to it. Many scientists in white coats are quickly tapping the keyboard on the computer.

They were focused, even if Li Lan approached behind them, they did not notice.Li Lan didn't bother them either.But standing behind these people, watching their computers, ongoing data detection.

The layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway.At this moment, Li Lan is more like a person watching the excitement.Because he could not understand what these constantly beating numbers on the computer represented, he was at a loss as to what kind of information the whole row of pictures on the screen were like plugs connected to sockets.

Li Lan is also used to not understanding these professional software or scientific research data. He does not need to understand everything in detail. Grasping the results is what he should do.Otherwise, when a country system comes down, the knowledge involved is more than tens of thousands, and he is not a god, and it is impossible to cover all of it.

However, seeing various texts on the computer monitor indicating that the connection was successful, he at least understood that the test results were not bad.

"Commander, you are here."

A greeting from behind broke the peace here. Not only did Li Lan turn his head, the scientists in front of the computer in front of him also turned around. After seeing Li Lan, they had to stand up and salute. Li Lan waved her hand in time to stop and said, "Concentrate on your work, don't care about me, a layman."

Hearing what Li Lan said, these scientists turned their attention to the computer screen again, and continued to tap the keyboard with their fingers.

Li Lan smiled slightly, seemingly satisfied with the concentration of these people, turning around and looking at the person behind him, the smile on his face became even stronger.In his eyes, a man with a full face and a beard, a pair of heavy glasses on the bridge of his nose, his beard and beard have covered most of the skin on his face, his face is dirty everywhere, Li Lan even I saw the beard on this person's face faintly reflecting the top light, and his hair was shiny.The white coat on his body was also stained with various stains everywhere.

Seeing Li Lan staring at him, the visitor seemed a little embarrassed. He scratched his hair with the same dirty hands, and said embarrassedly: "I knew that the commander was coming now, so I'll take some time to comb it. Now, this is really rude."

Seeing the other's actions, a row of black lines flashed across Li Lan's forehead, and when he heard what he said, she suddenly felt funny in her heart, saying: "You don't need to go to sort out specially, you don't need to pay attention to appearance when you see me, anyway. They are not outsiders either."

Hearing Li Lan's words, the corners of the person's mouth suddenly split, and two rows of neat and white teeth were exposed from the bushy beard, which formed a huge contrast with the mess on the body.This person's name is Mei Dang, and he holds a very high status in Li Lan's heart. He is currently the leader of the satellite center technology. Apart from brushing his teeth, he has always been lazy about taking care of other parts of his body.Especially when he is at work, Li Lan will not be surprised if he does not take a bath for a year.

Mei Dang: Three-level elite scientist...

Capability: Advanced aerospace research capabilities...

Special ability: proficient in scientific research.(Guest guest from book friends!)

"How are you preparing now?" Li Lan continued to ask.

"Assembly has been completed, and the system is undergoing final testing. As long as the test results go well, fuel injection can be carried out now, and tomorrow can be launched on time." Mei Dang immediately replied.

Li Lan nodded, glanced at the nearly thirty-meter-long guy behind him, and said: "This matter must be successful once, and there must be no mistakes."

Although the big guy beside him is not lethal, the core of deterrence is tomorrow's launch results. If the expected distance and ability can be achieved, then the United States will feel dangerous.If it can't be done accurately, or the expected effect is not achieved, the result is very difficult to tell.

"Please rest assured, the commander, we will carry out the most rigorous inspection to ensure that the mission is fulfilled." Mei Dang also understands the importance of this matter, and naturally does not dare to be sloppy.

"That's good." Li Lan didn't say anything. He didn't want to put too much pressure on these people. As their commanders, to get their free respect and dedication, he must withstand the pressure from the outside world. .

In this war, even if it is facing the United States, the tremendous pressure is no less than that of Mount Tai. Conventional warfare is one aspect, and the deterrence of nuclear weapons is also another aspect.In the war, in order to avoid his own defeat, and to prevent the United States from turning back, he made a desperate attempt. He has always sought a balance between them.

Only by grasping the balance point of war is to prepare for the end of battlefield war.This is the most helpless choice, and it is also the choice Li Lan can only make now.Regardless of the outcome of the war, it cannot continue.This is not only related to the future development of the base, but also to the ultimate direction of this war.Because once the United States cannot continue to withstand the war, the probability that the United States will go to extremes is too high. Now it plans to use tactical nuclear bombs, and it is certain that in the future, strategic nuclear bombs will come.
