283: Chapter 283 Why Don't We Capture an American Strategic Nuclear Submarine! (Two Chapters Combined)

Lin Mo and Chief Designer Bai Yannian exchanged a look.

"What's the specific situation?"

General Li Jingwu's expression was grave.

"It's a long story!"

"I'd better start from when Huaxia established the Air Defense Identification Zone in the Asia-Pacific region!"

Seeing Lin Mo and Chief Designer Bai Yannian nod, General Li Jingwu formally introduced the situation.

"Two months ago."

"Our Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet formation shot down over a dozen US 'Black Chicken' reconnaissance drones within the Huaxia Air Defense Identification Zone, and the Pentagon seems to have been deterred by this."

"On the surface, they condemned Huaxia loudly, but their actions have been very restrained; not only did they repatriate all CA Organization personnel from the Asia-Pacific region, but they also stopped sending warships to interact with the various US military bases in the Asia-Pacific, and it has been over two months since then."

"Even when our Huaxia crazy laugh virus outbreak hit, they didn't make any other new moves."

"On the surface, it looks like the US has completely abandoned the frontal battlefield and pinned all their hopes on the extremely insidious biological warfare."

General Li Jingwu paused, then continued.

"However, our General Staff Department hasn't let its guard down."

"According to previous intelligence channels, we have learned that the full-load production status of the US military industry not only hasn't changed but has intensified."

"Especially after our Huaxia crazy laugh virus outbreak, these US military industrial giants have continuously updated multiple military production lines, which is completely inconsistent with the submissive stance they've shown externally."

"Therefore, our General Staff Department believes that the US must have other moves in secret."

Lin Mo and Chief Designer Bai Yannian highly agreed with General Li Jingwu's assessment.

"The US's heart to destroy our Huaxia will never die; it is inevitable that they have other moves."

General Li Jingwu nodded and continued solemnly.

"In the current stage where Huaxia's military power clearly crushes the US, the US doesn't have many means left to threaten our Huaxia homeland!"

"Our General Staff Department has conducted over a hundred war games."

"After comprehensive analysis, the US, now at its wit's end, only has two means left."

"First is the anti-human biological war, which is this sudden crazy laughter disease outbreak!"

Hearing this, Chief Designer Bai Yannian laughed.

"Comrade Li Jingwu!"

"Our Huaxia has basically passed the most difficult stage of this epidemic steadily; they have clearly already failed."

"The most ridiculous thing is that the crazy laugh virus has started to spread in other countries, and the new variant strain is no longer just susceptible to yellow-skinned people; even in the US, there are already dozens of cases among white people."

"All I can say is that they are lifting a rock only to drop it on their own feet, becoming a laughingstock."

Hearing this, General Li Jingwu shook his head.

"Chief Designer Bai, you must not underestimate the US."

"Biological warfare is only their first step against Huaxia, not the critical one."

"Besides biological warfare, to threaten our Huaxia, there is also the critical means of launching a Mushroom Bomb attack first!"

Hearing this, Chief Designer Bai Yannian frowned.

"For no reason, what excuse do they plan to use to launch a Mushroom Bomb attack on other countries?"

"Unless Trump has gone mad, otherwise, how would the US dare to risk universal condemnation?"

Before General Li Jingwu could answer Chief Designer Bai Yannian's question, Lin Mo spoke up from the side.

"I have a rough guess."

"As long as they pin the blame for the crazy laugh virus on Huaxia and then slander Huaxia as an anti-human regime on the international stage,"

"the US will have a reason to launch any form of surprise attack on us without facing too much international condemnation."

"And in the current situation, it's actually very easy for them to achieve this."

After frowning and thinking, Chief Designer Bai Yannian said in a deep voice.

"That is indeed the logic."

"Other countries are now severely affected by the crazy laughter disease; currently, tens of thousands of people across the Blue Star have already died from the crazy laughter disease, and the scale of the epidemic is still expanding. At least a million people globally will die from this disease."

"Nowadays, the public in various countries is already very dissatisfied with the crazy laughter disease originating from Huaxia. If the US is behind it, fanning the flames and slandering us, then our Huaxia will have to carry this black pot whether we want to or not."

General Li Jingwu nodded.

"Exactly!"

"You two have been busy with epidemic prevention work recently, so you might not know the situation internationally."

"Two days ago, the major US media outlets suddenly stirred up a crooked wind."

"They started reporting in unison, claiming that our Huaxia has touched the forbidden field of human genetic engineering and that this crazy laugh virus is a product of our Huaxia's experiments. They even cited many examples with certainty."

"For example, our Huaxia has never announced a single death case, while in other countries, the virus spread half a month later than in Huaxia, yet they already have hundreds of death cases."

"They claim we either had a special vaccine prepared long ago or used these critically ill patients for human experiments."

"Another example: our Huaxia has very effective methods for epidemic prevention, forming a sharp contrast with other countries, which must mean we have rehearsed many times; otherwise, it would be impossible to be so orderly and without any panic."

"Furthermore, our Zhurong Hospital..."

"... Faced with these reports that appear to have rigorous evidence, many people in various countries have chosen to believe them and have started to condemn our Huaxia on major social media platforms."

"Some countries have also started contacting our Huaxia embassies abroad to understand the specific situation."

Speaking of this, General Li Jingwu looked at Lin Mo with a bitter smile.

"The most helpless part is that regarding these objective facts, we really cannot defend ourselves because they all actually happened."

"Especially the Azure Dragon Supplement from our Yanhuang Project, which will be fully rolled out to the Huaxia people in just over a week; it will be even more shocking by then."

"When compared to the miserable state of other countries, which country won't hate our Huaxia?"

"So, the US's second step against our Huaxia will soon succeed!"

Lin Mo shrugged.

"How about I research Genetic Supplements for other races as well?"

"I'll say this in advance: my research on human genes isn't as deep as my military technology. If I accidentally trigger a biochemical crisis and create some kind of zombie supplement, don't blame me."

General Li Jingwu shook his head and smiled.

"You guy!"

"Once you say that, I'm starting to suspect you've already researched it!"

"I'm warning you, Lin Mo, don't you dare actually release it; that would be too anti-human!..."

Lin Mo and General Li Jingwu were joking, but Chief Designer Bai Yannian on the side remained silent for a long time.

He knew very well in his heart that the US, having long occupied the position of Blue Star hegemon, was evil but not incompetent; once they truly started to deliberately launch an attack against Huaxia, they would certainly go all out.

Chief Designer Bai Yannian asked, "General Li Jingwu, can you elaborate on the Mushroom Bomb attack you mentioned earlier?"

General Li Jingwu nodded.

"Chief Designer Bai, there are three ways for the US to suddenly launch an effective Mushroom Bomb attack against Huaxia."

"First!"

"Using their sixth-generation fighter jets to suddenly launch an airstrike on Huaxia."

"Second!"

"Suddenly launching thousands of land-based intercontinental Mushroom Bomb missiles from the US homeland."

"Third!"

"Deploying a large number of ballistic missile nuclear submarines in the deep sea around Huaxia's surrounding waters, suddenly surfacing to launch conventional Mushroom Bomb missiles!"

"That is the commonly known sea, land, and air trinity Mushroom Bomb strike capability."

Hearing this, Lin Mo said thoughtfully.

"Given the current state of our Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet formation, which is constantly patrolling the Asia-Pacific Air Defense Identification Zone at high intensity, if the US sixth-generation fighter jets dare to come, they will only become our targets."

"If they launch a large number of intercontinental Mushroom Bomb missiles, the result will only be mutual destruction!"

"By the time their Mushroom Bomb missiles reach our Huaxia homeland, their core cities will have already been razed by the Mushroom Bombs dropped by our Xuan-Nu Fighter Jets."

Chief Designer Bai Yannian slapped his thigh and said with sudden realization.

"So, if the US wants to achieve the maximum war results, the strategic nuclear submarine attack method is the optimal one!"

General Li Jingwu nodded solemnly.

"It was also a coincidence."

"Before this, there was a clear gap in the diving depth of nuclear submarines among Blue Star countries."

"Our Huaxia's nuclear submarines have a diving depth of about 600 meters."

"And the US, as the former Blue Star hegemon, had much more advanced strategic nuclear submarines, capable of diving to about 1000 meters (fictional setting)."

"Therefore, even though we had guessed that they would deploy strategic nuclear submarines in Huaxia waters, we had no way to monitor their tracks."

"But our Penglai Project's 'Kunlong' first-generation deep-water submarine has a diving depth that has reached a terrifying 5000 meters!"

"Most importantly, the underwater sonar array detection system equipped on the Kunlong nuclear submarine is far beyond the current era!"

"Not long ago, after the Kunlong nuclear submarine was officially launched, it only conducted directional patrols for a few days before discovering traces of a large number of US nuclear submarines traveling to and from the Eastern Hemisphere!..."

"... Currently, Shi Jinghai is at the naval shore command center, personally monitoring the specific movements of the US nuclear submarines."

After General Li Jingwu finished introducing the intelligence, Lin Mo and Chief Designer Bai Yannian finally understood the sequence of events.

"This matter is of great importance," Chief Designer Bai Yannian said, his brows furrowed tightly.

"How to respond requires hearing Shi Jinghai's opinion."

Half an hour later, in the large conference room of the Epidemic Prevention and Control Command Center, Chief Designer Bai Yannian and Lin Mo urgently organized a general command meeting via video.

"... After several days of close monitoring by our Kunpeng submarine formation, 82 of the 95 active US ballistic missile nuclear submarines have already been secretly deployed to the west of the Pacific Ocean."

In the video conference, Shi Jinghai introduced the current situation to everyone in detail.

"However, they should still be in the initial deployment stage, except for 12 that have already been officially deployed in the deep sea near the East Sea of Huaxia."

"The other 70 nuclear submarines are repeatedly traveling back and forth between the US homeland and various major US naval bases in the Asia-Pacific region."

"If I'm not mistaken, they should be privately transporting weapons of mass destruction."

After Shi Jinghai finished introducing the frontline military situation, the conference screen turned to General Li Jingwu.

General Li Jingwu first explained to everyone his assessment of the US's intention to pin the blame for the crazy laugh virus on Huaxia, and then clearly explained the comprehensive predictions of the US's military strategy against Huaxia one by one.

After General Li Jingwu finished speaking, the meeting entered the discussion stage.

"We haven't even started to act, yet they have already come in waves; this is absolutely outrageous!"

"Since we caught them this time, shouldn't we beat the crap out of them?"

After hearing the intelligence from Shi Jinghai and General Li Jingwu, General Yun Feijie was so angry he laughed.

After Huaxia decided on the strategy to punish the US, military deployments in all aspects were being pushed forward urgently.

Take the China Sky Army for example; compared to two months ago, the overall strength of the Space Force has more than tripled.

But the US is indeed no pushover; between the biological war and the propaganda war, and now it seems they are even planning to take the initiative to launch a Mushroom Bomb war against Huaxia, their actions are both ruthless and vicious.

Fortunately, they had decided on the strategy of "striking first" long ago.

The US thought they were silently deploying a large number of strategic nuclear submarines in the Eastern Hemisphere, but they didn't expect to be caught red-handed by Huaxia's deep-water submarines.

"I said before, the US would definitely not sit and wait for death!" Long Jianjun shook his head and said.

"Everyone, faced with this situation, I really want to ask you all a question!"

"We have no evidence for the biological war, and now we are being slandered by the US."

"Don't you feel stifled?"

"Can you really swallow this anger?"

"For the US, the biggest malignancy that wishes for our Huaxia to be exterminated immediately, is it really necessary for us to stick to any morality?"

Long Jianjun's words were very infectious, instantly stirring up the emotions of many people.

At this moment, Chief Designer Bai Yannian spoke up.

"Long Jianjun, please speak carefully!"

"Morality is the cornerstone of human society; a regime that loses morality also means it has lost the hearts of the people!"

"Even if the military strength is strong, it will collapse from within!" Chief Designer Bai Yannian's words carried a warning.

"Look at it from another angle!"

"The US, which has always been unscrupulous and extremely shameless, now hates our Huaxia to the bone, yet they didn't choose to directly launch a Mushroom Bomb attack on Huaxia, but instead started a propaganda war first, attempting to occupy the moral high ground!"

"What is the reason? You can think about it carefully!"

After listening to Chief Designer Bai Yannian's words, Long Jianjun said helplessly.

"Alright, alright, Chief Designer Bai, you're the boss, you have the final say."

Having been sarcastically targeted by Long Jianjun, Chief Designer Bai Yannian didn't say anything more, but he must find him later to give him a proper political lesson.

Disregarding morality, to put it bluntly, is terrorism; this kind of tendency must not be allowed!

"So what do we do now? Just keep monitoring like this?" Shi Jinghai asked the others.

"Our Kunlong Submarines are being mass-produced at the Penglai Center; we can produce five or six a week."

"In less than two months, the Kunpeng aircraft carrier will also be officially launched, and then we can round them all up?"

Long Jianjun frowned.

"Can the US wait two months like this?"

"Don't let them strike first; that would be a huge loss of face!" General Li Jingwu spoke up.

"It shouldn't happen."

"Regarding the specific timing of the war, our General Staff Department will have a judgment; Long Jianjun, please be patient."

"Moreover, our underground organizations in the US and Japan are stepping up their actions and have currently made breakthrough progress; I believe we will soon be able to obtain key evidence of the virus's origin."

"It is indeed unwise to act now."

Although Long Jianjun was top-tier radical, he also knew not to act on impulse, and finally said helplessly.

"Then that's all we can do; keep monitoring for now!"

"Wait another two months, and we'll definitely make them pay!"

The direction of the meeting was basically set.

General Yun Feijie slammed the table, his face full of frustration.

"Damn it!"

"We held a big meeting and didn't decide anything; I just got a bellyful of anger!"

General Yun Feijie's words resonated with many people.

Just when everyone thought the meeting was over, Lin Mo in the main video screen suddenly spoke up.

"Everyone, I actually have another idea."

Everyone stared at the big screen, and Lin Mo smiled faintly.

"Aren't you always agonizing over morality?"

"In my opinion, morality is just an excuse; as long as it's justifiable, that's enough!"

"Instead of waiting passively, why not think about actively creating a moral justification ourselves?"

Speaking of this, Lin Mo smiled, showing his teeth.

"Why don't we secretly capture a US ballistic missile nuclear submarine by faking a deep-sea accident!"

"Afterwards, according to our Huaxia's best combat timing, use this nuclear submarine to launch a Mushroom Bomb attack on Huaxia!"

"At that time, we can claim that the US Mushroom Bomb attack caused the deaths of thousands of Huaxia civilians, and use this as a reason to launch a full-scale counterattack against the US!"

"In this way, we have morality, and we have the initiative!"

"Who would dare to criticize our Huaxia then?"
