117: Military exercise code name: Dongfeng Express, mission accomplished!

"Australia must pay for its blood debt. Marshal Chen Hai, captain of the Yinchuan, must not have sacrificed in vain!"

"Also, contact Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily, and other newspapers to publish a special report on Captain Chen Hai!"

"He heroically sacrificed for the Dongfeng-6 intercontinental missile and for all the people of the nation!"

"We absolutely cannot let him be an unsung hero!"

Marshal Xu Yong'an's eyes were sharp as he gave the order.

If Dragon Country wanted to downplay this incident, concealing Captain Chen Hai's sacrifice would undoubtedly be the best choice!

That way, neither the domestic populace nor other countries in the world would know anything other than that Dragon Country's Dongfeng-6 intercontinental missile test launch was successful!

Dragon Country had officially joined the club of world strategic nuclear powers!

No one would know that the Type 051 destroyer Yinchuan had a new captain!

But back then, not long after Dragon Country was founded, still in a state of poverty, it dared to fight against the 17-nation coalition led by Beautiful Country on the North Korean battlefield!

How much more so now!

Blood debts must be paid with blood!

The success of the Dongfeng-6 intercontinental missile was inseparable from the tireless research and development of every scientific and technological worker, and it was absolutely inseparable from the defenders like Captain Chen Hai who used their lives and flesh and blood!

Their names must be remembered!

And his heroic sacrifice should be known by everyone!

"Notify comrades in the relevant departments in Yanjing to summon Australia's ambassador to our Dragon Country!"

"First, Australia's 'Anzac' class destroyer directly used high-pressure water cannons on our Dragon Country's Yinchuan's deck, causing Captain Chen Hai's heroic sacrifice."

"The captain and main officers of the 'Anzac' class destroyer must be handed over to Dragon Country for trial!"

"Second, Australia must pay Marshal Chen Hai's pension and child support of 10 million US dollars, and issue an apology!"

"Third, Australia's warship illegally intruded into Dragon Country's military-designated restricted navigation area, colliding with Dragon Country's Type 051 destroyer, causing damage to the bow. It must pay 20 million US dollars for repair costs and publicly apologize internationally!"

"If Australia refuses to comply with the above demands, Dragon Country has the right to apprehend the aforementioned personnel and the right to sink the 'Anzac' class destroyer globally!"

Marshal Xu Yong'an thought for a moment and then added.

"A total of two prototypes of the Dongfeng-6 intercontinental missile were prepared!"

"Now the first test launch has been successful!"

"Once the data capsule is recovered, the other will undergo corresponding improvements and upgrades, and be test-launched from a railway train!"

"If Australia rejects our demands, I suggest the military conduct an intercontinental missile live-fire military exercise!"

"The second Dongfeng-6 intercontinental missile will be directly used for a live-fire test strike in the waters surrounding Australia!"

"The exercise code name is: 'Mission Accomplished'!"

Peng Lin suggested to Marshal Xu Yong'an.

"Dongfeng Missile, Mission Accomplished!"

"This code name is good!"

Marshal Xu Yong'an nodded silently, fully agreeing with Peng Lin's plan.

Generally, intercontinental missile test launches carry data recovery capsules to record critical data of the intercontinental missile.

Even non-technical verification test launches typically use training dummy warheads, containing only counterweights and no explosive devices.

But this time, since it is a strike operation in the nature of an intercontinental missile live-fire military exercise, training dummy warheads certainly cannot be used again!

Although Dragon Country has not yet reached the point of using strategic nuclear warheads, it can use all-nitrogen anion salt explosives for this live-fire test strike!

In actual design, the Dongfeng-6 intercontinental missile can carry a warhead of nearly 4,000 kilograms. If it carries a tactical hydrogen bomb nuclear warhead, it can reach an explosive yield of over 30 million tons!

Even using a conventional warhead, the explosion produced by nearly 4 tons of all-nitrogen anion salt explosives is terrifying!

After initially agreeing on the plan, Peng Lin and Marshal Xu Yong'an flew back to Yanjing together on a military special plane to prepare for relevant matters.

On the military special plane, Peng Lin began to check the panel of the military industrial scientific research assistance system:

"Project Name: Dongfeng-6 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile"

"Difficulty Assessment: S"

"Task Progress: 100%"

"Task Reward: 10000 Research Points"

"Current Remaining Research Points: 10000!"

After the successful test launch of the Dongfeng-6 intercontinental missile, Peng Lin completed his first S-level military industrial task and received a reward of 10,000 research points.

This made his total research points abundant again.

Peng Lin planned to use these research points to build the Beidou Navigation Satellite System as soon as possible!

Once the Beidou system is in place, Dragon Country's light combined arms brigades, heavy combined arms brigades, and army aviation brigades will all be able to reach their full combat power levels!

Even the air force and navy will see a significant increase in combat power!

Moreover, with Beidou, Peng Lin will be able to develop more powerful new weapons and equipment!

...At the same time.

After learning that Dragon Country had successfully test-launched a Dongfeng-6 intercontinental missile with a range of 18,000 kilometers, the Kremlin was in a dead silence!

Defense Minister General Ivanovitch stared at the telegram, his fingertips trembling!

The "Pravda" special commentary that previously claimed it was a "6,000-kilometer toy missile" has now become an international laughingstock!

"Do we need to urgently revise the Eastern Theater's defense plan?"

"Or even withdraw the tactical nuclear missile division-level units originally deployed in the border areas with Dragon Country?"

Defense Minister General Ivanovitch asked for instructions from the helmsman of the Kremlin.

After joining the club of strategic nuclear powers, Dragon Country's strategic threat capability is no longer what it once was, even possessing the ability to attack the Kremlin and Moscow with hydrogen bombs of tens of millions of tons of explosive yield!

Therefore, on the nuclear strategy against Dragon Country, the Bear Empire must handle it cautiously and change its previous strategy!

"I suggest we first comprehensively upgrade the Siberian air defense network!"

"As for the army tactical nuclear missile division-level units originally deployed, there's no rush to withdraw them!"

"According to intelligence obtained by the KGB, during the Dongfeng-6 intercontinental missile test launch operation, Beautiful Country and Australia's fleets attacked Dragon Country's Yuanwang ship and its escort formation, attempting to seize Dragon Country's intercontinental missile data capsule!"

"Their actions this time even collided with Dragon Country's Type 051 destroyer, not only causing damage to the bow of Dragon Country's warship, but also resulting in the death of a Dragon Country Navy captain!"

"Let's first observe Dragon Country's attitude towards this incident to see if they are truly tough, or if they are just putting on a brave front, strong in appearance but weak in reality!"

The helmsman of the Kremlin spoke, a rare occurrence.

A warship being collided with and a captain dying is absolutely a major event for a country!

From the attitude towards handling such an emergency, one can see the true character of a country and a nation!

If Dragon Country's military chooses weakness and appeasement in the face of Beautiful Country, Australia, and Western countries, then after the Kremlin sees through the true nature of Dragon Country's military, it naturally will not back down!

Now, countries around the world are observing Dragon Country's reaction after possessing strategic nuclear power!
