The most concerned thing about how many nuclear weapons the country is is the top leaders of the United States.

The news from NN was provided by Cia, and Cia's news was provided by a "super spy" lurking in the Republican Affairs Bureau for more than 20 years. Because Pamer's "defection" and Wesley was under house arrest and other vicious cases, Cia's trust in spies was greatly reduced. The news was disclosed to NN and asked NN to report it comprehensively was to see the Republic's reaction and confirm the reliability of the intelligence.

The problem is that the Republic has no reaction, as if the NN's report has nothing to do with the Republic.

The Republic's "calmness" made Cia very "troubled".

If one move fails, beauty can only find another way.

In early July, at the suggestion of the US leader, China and the United States had "expert-level" contacts. The US side took the initiative to sign a "bilateral nuclear arms control agreement" with the Republic and came up with a "sample". The Chinese representative did not give an answer immediately, but just agreed to consider the suggestions put forward by the US. Finally, the two sides agreed to hold a second round of contacts at the end of August to discuss more pragmatic topics.

After the second contact, the United States gained a more accurate understanding of the Republic's nuclear power.

At that time, the American political consulting firm entrusted the "International Strategic Institute" (similar to the strategic consulting company of Lander) to conduct relevant analysis and investigation.

According to the report submitted by the International War Institute, the information obtained by Cia is not accurate.

The Republic's nuclear power is more than 50% higher than the intelligence raised by Ciia, which does not refer to the number of nuclear vehicles and nuclear warheads, but to the nuclear strike capability.

Nuclear strike capacity is mainly determined by the performance of the transport tool.

In the analysis report of the "International Strategic Research Institute": the strategic nuclear submarine of the Republic has replaced the submarine-launched strategic ballistic missile between 2015 and 20166. The equipment is "jl-2a" and the class equipment is "jl-2b". Compared with the "jl-2", the "jl-2b" still carries 6 10,000 tons nuclear warheads (or 1.15 million tons nuclear warheads). The range reaches 12,000 kilometers. The "low-ballistic" technology is used. If the number of nuclear warheads is reduced, 1c bait warheads can be carried. According to the estimates of the "International Strategic Research Institute".

jl-2b" only carries 3 10,000-ton nuclear warheads (or 6 150,000-ton nuclear warheads). Plus 0 bait warheads. If so, "jl-2b" can easily break through the US's "national missile defense system". The Republic's Navy has built a total of 3-level strategic nuclear submarines. Even if only one survives the nuclear war, it can still give the United States a devastating blow. Within the next 5 to 1c years, the Republic's Navy will also build 3-level strategic nuclear submarines to replace the active-level 3-level strategic nuclear submarines. It will increase the sea-based strategic strike force by more than one.

The main model of the Republic's land-based maneuverable strategic ballistic missile is not "df-32d". It was rumored to be "df" in 2012. Compared with "df-32d", the "df-42b" is the real "strategic ballistic missile". Its range reaches an astonishing 1 meter (the actual range of "df-32d" is 8,000 kilometers. It is not NN reported 1c,000 kilometers). It carries 6 250,000 tons nuclear warheads (or 1c,1

50,000-ton nuclear warhead). It is suspected to be a land-based model of "jl-2b". Because it uses a secondary engine with a larger thrust, the range is 2,000 kilometers more than "jl-2b". When equipped with a bait warhead, the penetration capability of "df-42b" is comparable to that of "jl-2b". According to the speculation of the "International Strategic Research Institute", "df---" is still prepared by 3+10 (or 6+10). The total number of equipment is between 120.

In this way, the Republic's underground and sea-based and land-based strategic ballistic missiles carry only about half of the nuclear warheads in the NN report. However, the actual strike capability is far greater than that in the N Region. The United States' "national missile defense system" is difficult to intercept the Republic's two minor ballistic missiles.

The "International Institute of Strategic Studies" focused on the strategic air force of the Republic in its report.

Before 2025, the first truly strategic bomber of the Republic will make its first flight. It will reach a scale of 60 to 120 by 2035. Although the Republic has not disclosed relevant information, Cia has not obtained exact information. However, the International Institute of Strategic Research is confident that the first strategic bomber of the Republic has excellent stealth capability. Carrying 6 ground-fired cruise missiles with a range of 30c0 kilometers when carrying out strategic strike missions, the combat radius exceeds 7,500 kilometers. If an air refueling is carried out, the combat radius will exceed 11c00 kilometers. It is enough to take off from the Republic and bomb any location-local target located in the United States.

It has to be admitted that the analysis report of the "International Strategic Institute" has its own unique features.

Later, the Republic gradually decrypted strategic strike weapons. The installation time of "jl-2b" and "df-42b" was 20133 and 2014. By 20177, "jl-2b" had been equipped with a third-level strategic nuclear submarine, and the number of "df-42b" reached 60%. The two strategic ballistic missiles were versatile, but "df-42b" used a secondary engine with a larger thrust, with a slightly further range than "jl-2b". The performance data in other aspects were not very different from the analysis results of the "International Strategic Research Institute".

The only thing the "International Strategic Institute" does not "guess" accurately is the performance of strategic bombers.

The development plan of h-8 began in 2013 and is expected to be the first flight in 2022, 2025

Installation. Initially, the Air Force did not position the H-8 as "strategic bombing to replace the H-66," mainly for the "medium-sized tactical bomber" in the place where conventional bombing missions were performed.

It was not until 2018 that the Air Force adjusted its development plan and decided to let the H-8 dismount and use the development h-ground technology to accumulate and develop a larger h--9. During positioning, the Air Force clearly required the H-9 to have "effective" strategic bombing capabilities and the combat radius must not be less than kilometers. By the time of the first flight in 2024, the performance of the h-99 still does not meet the requirements of a "strategic bomber". When carrying 6 air-launched cruise missiles to perform strategic strike missions, the combat radius is only kilometers, and the combat radius after one air refueling is only 7,000 kilometers. Even if the maximum range of the cruise missile is 3,000 kilometers, the h-99 can only fly over Russian airspace, fly along the Arctic route to the western hemisphere, and launch cruise missiles over northern Canada to attack US local targets.

Obviously, the "International Institute of Strategic Research" seriously overestimates the performance of h-9.

In any case, the analysis report of the "International Strategic Institute" has received high attention from senior American officials.

It was based on this report that the U.S. government held a "strategic arms control dialogue" with the Republic.

On September 17, an international nuclear sanction was held in Geneva.

Because of the influence of the US-Iran War, the media hyped the Republic's nuclear power, so this nuclear disarmament conference attracted high attention from all walks of life. Almost all commentators and news media believed that the Republic would take this opportunity to announce a new national security strategy.

The Republic's Foreign Minister Huang Guowei and Defense Minister Gu Weimin, who represent the Republican seat, did not disappoint the outside world.

On September 19, Huang Guowei and Gu Weimin held a press conference in Geneva. When answering reporters' questions, both mentioned that the Republic will adjust its national security strategy in the near future and improve its strategic nuclear deterrence position.

On September 24, when attending the meeting of the full representatives, Zhao Rundong reiterated the necessity of the Republic to adjust its security strategy.

At this point, the outside world has doubted that the Republic will abandon its decades of "not using nuclear weapons first" position and will make major adjustments to its national security strategy.

The United States also soon had contact with the Republic, claiming on different occasions that the Republic should abide by international security principles.

On the first day of October, on the 68th anniversary of the birth of the Republic, Zhao Rundong first announced to the invited people from all walks of life and foreign envoys to the Republic that the Republic will abandon the principle of "not using nuclear weapons first" from now on. When national security is threatened, it will use various means to attack the invading enemy and defend the interests of the country and nation.

The international community was not shocked.

At this time, the Republic is no longer a former republic, and any major power has a corresponding national security strategy. As the world's number one power, the United States has never promised to "not use nuclear weapons first"; as Russia, which has the second multi-nuclear weapon, it has never promised to "not use nuclear weapons first"; Britain and France regard nuclear weapons as the basis for defending national security and safeguarding national interests, and nuclear countries such as India and Pakistan regard nuclear weapons as the most important defense and offensive weapons. Under this circumstance, it is indeed understandable that the Republic adjusts its national security strategy.

With the current national strength of the Republic, it is not difficult to maintain nuclear warheads of 2,000 to 3,000 and corresponding vehicles.

As the head of the Republic Zhao Rundong announced the adjustment of the national strategy in public, the outside world is more concerned about the details of the "new strategy".

This delay lasted for several months.

On February 27, 2018, Minister of Defense Gu Weimin submitted the "2018 National Defense White Paper" to the National Congress.

At this point, the Republic's new national security strategy was officially launched.

The "White Paper" clearly states that the Republic will retain 2,000 to 2,500 nuclear warheads and 500 vehicles in the future, develop the "three-in-one sea, land and air" strategic strike force, and establish a comprehensive nuclear strike capability in a comprehensive area of ​​strategic and tactical combination; in the event that the territory is violated, the local airspace is attacked by hostile countries, and important facilities are attacked, the Republic will use all armed forces, including nuclear weapons, to conduct counterattacks and retaliatory strikes.

Although the description of nuclear weapons in the "White Paper" is less than 200 words, this paragraph caused a great response.

The most intense reaction was definitely Western media. Western TV stations led by NN have issued "sudden exclamations" for several consecutive days. 27 years after the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Cold War between the United States and China is about to break out. The Republic has become a world power on par with the United States. The "shadow of the nuclear war" once again shrouded the whole world!

In addition to Western media, media in other countries are relatively "calm".

When reporting related incidents, Al Jazeera mentioned that the Republic does not have the strength to compete globally with the United States. The basic national policy of the Republic is completely different from that of the former Soviet Union. In the era of global economic integration, the Republic will not compete with the United States in military competition. At least in the next 115 years, the possibility of a cold war breaking out between China and the United States is very slim.

In any case, the "Cold War between China and the United States" has become the hottest topic in 2018.

The outside world is in a hot topic~; The top leaders of China and the United States held their first informal contact at the G20 summit held in March 2018.

The G20 summit, which was originally planned to discuss the global financial crisis, became a stage for both China and the United States.

What the outside world is more concerned about is not financial issues, but whether a second Cold War will break out and whether China and the United States will confront each other in a comprehensive way!
