On August 20th, a nuclear power plant in the homeland of Country R was attacked, causing global panic.
On the 22nd, the President of Country R delivered a televised speech, stating that the attack on the domestic nuclear power plant was a serious act of all-out war against Country R!
On the same day that the President of Country R delivered the televised speech, global stock markets plummeted, while the military industry index and the prices of precious metals soared.
In the coastal desert area where the situation had shown signs of stability, countless rocket launchers and ballistic missiles soared into the sky, flying towards their targets in overwhelming numbers.
The war broke out both as expected and unexpectedly by everyone.
It was like a chain reaction. While countless missiles shot into the sky, huge rockets began to quietly stand upright in the military bases of many countries.
...
Recently, at the Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, our country called on the five nuclear powers to jointly sign a new international treaty: the Treaty on the Non-First-Use of Nuclear Weapons.
The treaty lists four explicit provisions:
First, the signatory states should reaffirm the devastating impact of a nuclear war on all mankind and reaffirm their responsibility for maintaining peace and security.
Second, all five countries commit not to be the first to use nuclear weapons under any circumstances.
Third, each country reserves the right to withdraw from the treaty when its supreme interests are threatened.
Fourth, it is proposed that the treaty be of indefinite duration and no reservations shall be allowed.
"We have only one Earth. The existence of nuclear weapons not only brings potential disasters to human society but also seriously affects the Earth's ecological environment. Therefore, all countries should work together to strengthen the nuclear disarmament process and promote the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free world to achieve global peace and stability."
At the United Nations General Assembly, the boomerang of history accurately hit everyone present.
However, today, twenty years later, the contents of the speeches of the two countries have been swapped, and even their tones and expressions show a surprising tacit understanding.
"We have always advocated the complete prohibition and thorough destruction of nuclear weapons, pursued a policy of not advocating, not encouraging, not engaging in nuclear weapons proliferation, and not helping other countries develop nuclear weapons. We have also been actively promoting the nuclear disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation processes on the international stage to maintain global strategic stability and international peace and security."
The representative of our country beside them felt a strange sense of familiarity when listening to the speech of the US side.
"Isn't this the speech draft from our Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in the millennium?"
The staff member of our country beside them nodded silently.
After the meeting ended, with the widespread dissemination of the meeting content around the world, everyone let out a sigh of relief. However, this sigh came to an abrupt end with the roar of the nuclear power plant in Country R!
In our country's newly activated underground combat readiness command center, countless orders were spread everywhere along with angry roars.
"Fully activate the CNMD missile defense system! Connect all the intelligence information stations related to nuclear weapons! How is the communication with Country R going?"
"The other side has rejected the dialogue request!"
On the distant space station, the sky-blue Earth filled the entire view of the observation window.
Suddenly, dazzling rays of light pierced through the darkness, and huge mushroom clouds rose up, as if they were about to devour everything.
Then, a chain reaction began.
Dragons spitting thick smoke soared into the sky one after another. Even from the space station, smoke columns all over the sky could be seen, intersecting with each other to form a canopy of destruction.
At this time, in the space station, alarm sounds rang out one after another.
Everyone looked at the tracks representing destruction on the main screen.
"Activate all armed satellites! The Bluebird enters the sub-space near-Earth orbit! All pilots enter the weapons experimental cabin! Don't let a single ballistic missile enter the sub-space! Hurry up!!!"
Zhou Peng's angry roar interrupted the silent crowd and briefly dispelled the confusion and sorrow in everyone's hearts.
Nuclear explosions occurred one after another, plunging the entire Earth into the abyss of chaos and destruction.
Cities were destroyed, lives vanished in an instant, and the traces of civilization were erased.
At this moment, human civilization had reached the brink of collapse.
Except for a few limited countries that still had a short period of peace under desperate protection, there was no truly peaceful place in the world.
Everyone watched all this happen with their own eyes but were powerless to stop it.
In the independent living cabin, the huge roar was deafening. The J-20 vertical takeoff and landing aircraft whizzed past in front of the eyes and rushed towards the space elevator that connected the sky and the earth in the distance.
Suddenly, the 3D image in front of the eyes disappeared instantly, and the figure of a familiar yet unfamiliar old man appeared in front of Song Han.
"Sorry, sir. We messed it up."
Song Han:
"Hmm??"
"With Country R's nuclear decapitation operation against Country L, it forced the Party Y north of Country L to launch a counterattack of equal force. Under the nuclear entanglement strategy, all nuclear-armed countries in the world cannot be spared."
With the other party's low voice, huge mushroom clouds continued to explode on the virtual Earth beside them.
"The Minuteman of Country A, the Satan of Country R, the Trishul of Country I, and the M51 of Country F have all been launched. Our Dongfeng 41 is also about to be launched. We've messed everything up."
The last scene on the screen was an orbital map covering major cities around the world and the solemn-looking people in the CNMD command center.
"How long is it left?"
"40 minutes!"
"Activate 'Jian'an' and take over all global electronic devices! All intercontinental missiles with satellite positioning can't resist the invasion of 'Jian'an'. As for those old things from the 1970s and 1980s, you'll have to deal with them yourselves."
"I knew he still had a trump card!"
With Song Han's cold voice, there was a cheer in the CNMD command center!
"But once the nuclear countdown starts, it can no longer be interrupted by electronic signals!"
"We don't need to interrupt the detonation process. We just need to change the coordinate information of the missiles!"
"Where?"
"Outer space! That's the way of detonation that has the least impact on the Earth's environment!"
"By then, an electromagnetic storm will howl across the globe, satellites will be scrapped, and navigation will disappear! With our production capacity and the high connection of ground signal towers, we can also let the other side taste the power of full-band jamming!"
"Wait, you mean..."
As the words fell, the cheering sound stopped instantly.
Everyone looked at the indifferent face on the screen with a complicated expression.
"Sir, 'Jian'an' requires your authorization."
"When I said this, the authorization has already been opened."
"Is there no other way?"
"There are tens of thousands of satellites around the world. Coupled with the impact of nuclear explosions and debris interference, even if it's not within the nuclear explosion radiation range, the Tianhe Space Station doesn't have the ability to deal with large-scale electromagnetic pulses at close range! Even if it's not hit by debris or shot down by nuclear bombs, the out-of-control Tianhe won't be able to survive. The large-scale debris generated after a nuclear explosion is completely a chaotic model, and it's simply impossible to calculate a safe orbit!"
"Salute!"
A loud shout interrupted the discussion among the people in the room.
At this moment, Song Han, tied to the sofa with a seat belt, holding a can of cola and floating in a supine position with his feet up and head down, seemed extremely tall in everyone's hearts.
