Xinlan City, a newly built city located in the hinterland of the Far East of the empire, is more than 700 kilometers away from the Tatar Strait, but only more than 100 miles away from the Sea of ​​Okhotsk.

Xinlan City is an emerging Far Eastern city, with 80% of the population being Han Chinese, with some Russians and Koreans also included.

Because it is relatively close to the northernmost point of the Far East, which is covered with ice and snow all year round, and the weather and climate are slightly better because of the mountains, Xinlan City has always been known as the most beautiful city in the northernmost part of the empire.

A brand-new city, spacious streets, and buildings with Far Eastern characteristics rising from the ground. This place is being built by the industrious and intelligent Chinese people into a pearl deep in the hinterland of the Far East.[

The entire city, population, economy, and urban construction are developing at a rapid pace.

Just inside Xinlan City, a special military restricted area is located in a large mountain range, but it is guarded by an entire regiment of guards.

Continuous mountains, roads winding between the mountainside and deep into the mountains. From the first checkpoint outside the mountains to the military base entering the mountains, you need to pass 25 checkpoints. There are guards not only on the roads, but also on the mountain peaks.

There are also barbed wire fences, minefields, and automatic alarm deployment areas. It can be said that this military restricted area is tightly locked in the mountains and has never been known to anyone.

General transportation of materials, troop changes, and transportation of weapons and equipment naturally rely on cars from the highway. In special cases, helicopters will also be used for air transportation.

Located in the very center of the mountains, it is a military base with a very high level of security. Although it is only September, it has already snowed quite a bit here.

Except for a group of buildings in a small valley, other staff, officers, soldiers, and vehicles often go into the mountain. It turns out that the buildings on the ground are only for people to live in, and there are quite a few underground fortifications in the middle of the mountain.

In several small valleys not far from the base building complex, many special facilities have been built with cement and steel bars. It looks like a large area has been built with cement and steel bars to look like a bunker. In the middle of the bunker

It's a huge stainless steel lid.

There are six such bunkers in total, and each one has a big lid on it. It looks like a bunker, but also like a covered well.

This is the empire's strategic rocket force launch base located at the northernmost point of the territory, and the fixed shaft launch base of the intercontinental ballistic missile.

Before this, a missile launch mission with a range of 8,000 kilometers was tested here. As a result, the missile was launched from Newland City. After a short flight, it accurately landed in the desert area of ​​northwest Australia.

The error was 11 kilometers. Later, a launch test of a 5,500-kilometer entry-level intercontinental missile was conducted, and the error was finally controlled at 28 kilometers. (The error range of the missile mentioned above is wrong, and it should be an error level within ten kilometers.

)

At the base, Lieutenant General Zhou Ting, a commander of the Strategic Rocket Force who arrived by helicopter yesterday, was discussing the launch mission with the base commander, Major General Fan Hua.

"Xiaofan, this time the Germans publicly announced that they would carry out a lease-type nuclear strike. People all over the world are panicking, and they are all looking at our imperial nuclear power."

Zhou Ting said seriously.

"Commander Zhou, we have inspected two Dongfang-42 missiles. They are in good condition and fully capable of carrying out the launch mission. This kind of intercontinental missile with a range of 10,000 kilometers is our most technologically mature intercontinental missile.

The missile has reliable performance and has undergone many launch tests. The missile we launched to Australia last time was the Dongfang-42 missile with a reduced range.

Once the final ‘launch’ order arrives, we are absolutely sure to complete the mission.”

Major General Fan Hua saluted and said. Of course, the base attaches great importance to this launch. It is the first time to launch an intercontinental missile, and it is also a core. If it is messed up, it will be infamy for thousands of years. At least, it will be infamy for itself.

I have no shame to explain to Commander Lu Ziyun, to the Chairman of the Generalissimo, and to the people of the whole country.

The scientific and technological officers at the base have already checked countless components, systems, and even the fuel of the missile to ensure that there will be no problems with the filling. It is completely a comprehensive pre-war inspection of the entire large system.

Review.

"Although the commander has not yet issued the final launch order, since the Germans have announced to the outside world that in order not to cause passiveness, we will definitely launch the launch soon. I think the order may come soon. Take advantage of it.

There is still time now, let’s check on the conductor’s situation.”

After Zhou Ting finished speaking, the two of them took several nuclear scientists and engineers to check the guidance.[

The No. 1 and No. 2 wells that are preparing to carry out the launch mission this time.

The group of people first took a bus to Well No. 1 and were put into Well No. 1 after a strict ID check.

The entire No. 1 Well is actually a systematic underground fortification. The inside of No. 1 Well is much larger than it looks from the outside.

It is divided into traffic fortifications, engineering maintenance sections, oil channels, transportation channels, and finally the launch well.

The entire Dongfang-42 Intercontinental Guide is 33 meters high, which is a full 11 stories high. However, there are not as many floors as 11 stories inside Well No. 1. The internal layers of the first floor are about 6 meters high.

Zhou Ting and Fan Hua, with a group of technical and command officers from the Strategic Rocket Force, were observing the intercontinental missile that was just around the corner.

"It's so spectacular! Before it was launched, who could have imagined that the war weapon we created would be more than thirty meters high and capable of flying tens of thousands of kilometers. Let alone the Americans, even

Now I feel that the power of technology is incredible.”

Looking at the huge thing in front of him with a diameter of more than three meters and a height of more than 30 meters, Zhou Ting still couldn't help but sigh. His eyes were looking at the top of the road, where the core was.

"Commander Zhou, Commander Fan, we conducted the last test twenty minutes ago and found that all indicators of the head were normal and fully met the parameter standards for launch and explosion.

The 250,000-ton TNT-equivalent nuclear head is also the most mature nuclear head technology in my country at present."

Lu Yiming, a professor of the Strategic Rocket Force on the side, explained to the two of them.

Zhou Ting nodded and then said, "If the order is issued in ten minutes, can it be launched on time and work normally?"

"Of course, General Zhou, the production quality of guided missiles and nuclear missiles is absolutely up to par. Five tests have all met the operational level. Once the base camp issues the final order and provides the coordinates of the launch target, it can be launched after inputting it into the computer.

.”

The professor said with confidence that in fact Fan Hua was also a technical officer and had considerable knowledge in nuclear and missile fields.

"Let's go to the control center and have a look."

Everyone got on the underground transportation bus and arrived at an underground launch command center in the middle of the mountain. There was a large hall filled with display screens, and staff in military uniforms and white coats were nervous inside.

The ground was busy. A huge display screen on the wall showed a simulated aerial view of the United States, and there was also a simulated satellite positioning in space.

"The base camp sends the coordinates of the target. After we input it into the computer, the computer on the missile will also receive the signal. Then, the missile will be launched into the air using inertial guidance according to the angle and speed calculated by the computer.

In the later part of the flight process, it will receive signals from satellites, correct the orbit to a certain extent, and reduce the error range.

Well, its theoretical error range is less than 3 kilometers."

Lu Yiming explained, and then pointed to the equipment and explained the simulation and processing work currently being carried out. Most of them are testing and review of computers and launch programs, and there are also some simulations.

"Similar to the missile that has already installed the nuclear head, work can begin here as soon as the order is given."

Lu Yiming said confidently.

"Well, very good, I think the order from the base camp should be arriving soon."[

Zhou Ting's guess was correct. Just over twenty minutes after he returned to the base office, Fan Hua ran in excitedly and said, "Commander Zhou, the communication center has just received an action order from the base camp."

"Oh? Let me take a look."

He received the message, which was marked top secret and read, "According to the Strategic Rocket Force Plan 012, the first missile will strike the urban area of ​​Washington. The target parameters are..."

Both of them have read Plan 012. Except for the final city target, which was not announced, everything else was written in detail. Now that they saw two specific target cities, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The action order is very clear. The first target is Washington, and the second target is Chicago. 30 minutes after the explosion in Washington, Chicago will also explode. The target parameters, the location to be bombed, and the coordinates are also clearly written above.

Fan Hua, who was very sensitive, saw that Zhou Ting was slightly confused about the coordinate number, and couldn't help but said excitedly, "Commander Zhou, this location is a neighborhood where the White House is located!!!"

Zhou Ting slapped his hand on the table and said with a smile, "Great, prepare to launch immediately. Add fuel and enter target parameters."

"Yes, Commander Zhou."

The two quickly arrived at the launch control center. The order had been issued. Everyone was busy like crazy. The commanders of each group were excitedly but steadily issuing orders.

"Get ready to refuel!"

Zhou Ting looked at a screen in front of him, which displayed the fuel filling situation. The image showed a simulated pilot, and the position of the fuel tank was injecting fuel, 1%, 2%... The rate of increase was very slow. Notes on the side

The estimated completion time is also counting down: 01:59:33.

This shows that it takes 2 hours to refill liquid fuel, which is enough time for other tasks to reach the perfect pre-launch state.

On the other side, the group commander was also giving orders: "Enter group parameters, group b parameters, group parameters..."

Each set of parameters includes, in addition to the coordinate parameters of the target location, various parameters of the atmospheric clouds provided by the satellite, including temperature, etc.

Zhou Ting's target turned to the big screen. As the input data was gradually improved, on the simulation map, a missile had been simulated in the Far East, and a curve had been connected to Washington, the United States, and was also marked on the screen.

A few large blood-red characters: "Target: Washington"
