Chapter 1298: Nanyang's Final Threat (First Update, Please Subscribe)
Ensure deterrence!

This kind of deterrence is a devastating deterrence!

This is also the fundamental reason why the Cold War did not turn into a hot war - mutually assured destruction.

"Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, and we may face a showdown. If this situation occurs, no matter what position we take, Nanyang will definitely suffer a nuclear attack."

Li Yian said without changing his expression:

"Of course, none of the world's major countries can escape, and in order to ensure this, we must ensure deterrence against the Soviet Union."

Turning his head to look at Zhao Mingqin, Li Yian asked:
"Where is our "Guardian"?"

"Sir, since it entered combat readiness duty, it has entered the North Atlantic Ocean."

Zhao Mingqin explained:

"He carries 16 submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Due to the concealment of nuclear submarines, the range of 1 kilometers is enough to destroy most Soviet cities. In addition, we have deployed 64 H24 strategic bombers on Paradise Island. They can all carry Tomahawk cruise missiles. On Paradise Island, we have deployed Tomahawk cruise missiles with nuclear warheads. In addition, we have enhanced atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs in stock. According to the mission arrangement, they will undertake the second wave of strikes, which is enough to complete the second wave of nuclear strikes on the Soviet Union."

For Nanyang, the Paradise Island, which guards the Red Sea, is a stronghold for attacking the Soviet Union. Although it is far away from the Soviet Union, it can threaten the Soviet hinterland. Moreover, the local Soviet air defense force is far less strong than that in Europe. Once the war breaks out, it can start from the Middle East and attack the Soviet Union and other countries according to the mission objectives.

"Well, notify Paradise Island to enter combat readiness duty and conduct air patrols. We must let the Soviets know that we are ready to counterattack."

Li Yian thought for a moment and said:

"Of course, these deployments are not enough to solve all problems. Once the United States and the Soviet Union really want to fight a nuclear war, the mainland of Southeast Asia will not be immune to nuclear attacks. There will be almost no safe place."

Li Yian used a calm enough voice. They had previously introduced the deployment taken in case of a nuclear war coming to Nanyang. It was also very clear that Nanyang had its own triad nuclear strike force. Although it could provide some protection due to the distance, it would not be able to protect Nanyang if a war really broke out.

Because he had been prepared for a long time, Li Yian showed a confident look, took out a stack of documents and said:

"This is the Nanyang Nuclear War Plan that I asked the Civil Defence Department to draw up a few years ago."

After the secretary distributed the documents to everyone, Li Yian said:
"We have no way of predicting the future direction now, but one thing is certain: if the Cuban Missile Crisis cannot be resolved, then Nanyang will inevitably be the first to bear the brunt of the impact, so..."

Looking at everyone, Li Yian said while holding the document:

"We must be prepared to protect ourselves - we must inform health experts and others to prepare, and teach the public how to deal with a nuclear explosion! It is very necessary, especially for Nanyang. After all, the vast majority of our population is in a few large cities. As the most urbanized country in the world, if we don't prepare in advance, then in the event of an accident, the cost will be unbearable!"

"Your Excellency is right. We should indeed strengthen our preparations in this regard. After all, no matter how this incident ends, we don't know when and how the next crisis will break out. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the construction of civil protection projects."

Of course, this meeting was fruitful. Li Yian had already formulated a nuclear war plan, which not only involved the overall defense of Southeast Asia, but also took into account his own safety.

Just like the "Doomsday Fortress" that goes directly underground to the Daming Palace was designed to deal with nuclear war. The hundreds of meters thick granite is enough to withstand any nuclear bomb attack.

It's just that no one likes to be a "bunker boy". Looking at the solemn meeting room, Li Yian joked:
"Maybe it's not that serious, right Guoren?"

"Of course, sir."

Li Guoren responded:
"I think this is just the worst-case scenario. It may not actually happen. I am still quite optimistic. Maybe the final result will be that the United States and the Soviet Union will each take a step back and move the missile launchers around each other. This is also the best result."

Li Guoren, who had just returned from Moscow, emphasized:
"I just visited the Soviet Union and I can confirm that they do not want war!"

"But we always have to make plans and consider the worst-case scenario, so as not to be in a rush when the time comes, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere of the entire meeting lightened. Most of the content of the previous discussion was too heavy. Even though most of them had experienced war, it was precisely because of this that they knew deeply the cruelty of war.

And this battlefield is different from previous wars!
No matter how cruel the two world wars were, in the final analysis, they required politicians to instigate, the rich to pay, and the poor to go to the front lines to fill in the gaps. For those in power, war is dangerous, but it is not that serious. But a nuclear war is completely different. Everyone is equal in front of a nuclear bomb. The lives of ordinary people like the poor are not lives, but the lives of the rich and powerful are not lives either, and this can be very fatal.

This kind of mentality of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside!
Li Yian could basically guess most of it.

Why was it that after the "Cuban Missile Crisis", every crisis could be resolved? The essence is that everyone is greedy for life, especially the capitalist consortiums in the United States and Europe. They are the ones who are truly afraid of death. Therefore, after Cuba, public opinion in Europe and the United States, especially in the United States, suddenly began to sing the praises of peace. Essentially, it is because the capitalists really do not want to die!

This is another possibility. If everyone compromises with each other, everything will be fine!
The atmosphere in the conference room became relaxed and people started talking and laughing again.

Zhao Mingqin also began to ease the tense atmosphere and said:
"We still believe in the strength of the United States. The United States will rely on the world's most powerful navy to impose a comprehensive blockade on Cuba. The Soviet Navy is weak. Apart from submarines, the rest is not worth mentioning. Not to mention reaching America, they can't even break through the blockade of the Royal Navy. There is nothing they can do in the face of such a blockade."

"That is to say, the risk exists, but it is still not something that can be resolved peacefully in the end."

Li Yian nodded and said.

"But no matter what, this crisis will completely change the US's attitude towards the Cold War. They will realize that the Cold War is also a life-and-death confrontation. They will also understand what attitude they should take towards their own security in the Cold War!" At this point, Li Yian changed the subject and said:

"So, they will also understand why we will not compromise on certain issues. We also need to let them know that our patience is limited and some regional security issues must be resolved. In the past, they did not know what empathy was, but now, they should understand!"

"Yes, sir, now the Americans should understand."

Sun Delin said:
"It seems that the military can start preparing to uphold justice and let some people have a taste of the iron fist of justice."

A group of people burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere dissipated. They understood that the biggest security risk in Nanyang would be completely resolved in the near future.

After the meeting, Li Yian did not go to the study, but returned to his family.
If there was any difference, it was that his expression was more serious than before.

After going and coming back, Margaret and Hepburn were still waiting in the living room, chatting about women's topics while waiting for their husbands to return, and they only smiled when the familiar figure appeared.

"What on earth is going on?"

Li Yian held Margaret's shoulders with both hands, looked at her straight and said:

"Mary, Hepburn, you, all of you, take your children to Yongding tomorrow."

"Ah? Going to Yongding?"

Margaret was stunned, not understanding what was wrong with her husband, and said:

“It’s not time for a vacation yet!”

Yongding is the most famous holiday center in Southeast Asia... When it comes to Yongding, the first thing that comes to mind is vacation and entertainment.

"Right now, Yongding is the safest place in Nanyang. When you get there, go to Paradise Island, which is relatively far from Yongding and has all kinds of facilities."

Li Yian said with a serious face:

"The Soviet Union has deployed nuclear missiles in Cuba. It is still unknown how the situation will develop, but if the negotiations fail, there will be a danger of a world war. By that time, the South Pacific mainland will be within the range of Soviet land-based missiles and will also become very dangerous."

Li Yian explained the whole story of the Cuban Missile Crisis in an unquestionable commanding tone.

"So, you can go to heaven and take the Gulf Stream directly. There is an airport and a garrison there. The island is not big and will definitely not be affected by the war."

A cunning rabbit has three burrows. The paradise located in the middle of the Yongding Islands, namely the "Obi Islands", is Li Yian's alternative option. Compared with the "bunker boy", sunshine and beaches are better.

"In this case, Chang'an is very dangerous. Why do you want to stay in Chang'an? Come with me."

Margaret was frightened by her husband's tone and tried to persuade him in a panic.

"What a joke! I'm the No.1 in Nanyang. How can I run away at this time?"

Li Yian flatly refused:

"I am very content in my life. Not only have I created a country, but I also have a wife who loves me, so many lovers who love me, and so many children. Even if the worst outcome really happens, I can face it calmly."

"But, but, you, you are crazy. No, you have to come with us. You can still command from there."

Margaret, with tears in her eyes, clutched her husband's clothes and said:

"When the Germans bombed London, we left London too, but we didn't let anyone know."

Well, this is the typical mentality of the powerful!
But this is also normal human nature.

"My dear, there is such a thing as patriotism in this world."

Li Yian asked his wife to calm down and scolded her softly.

"You need to take the children away and take good care of them."

No matter what Margaret said, Li Yian had made up his mind and turned a deaf ear to the persuasion of his wife and Hepburn. In the end, several women threw themselves into his arms and burst into tears.

"You, you had planned this a long time ago, right? That's why you fought so hard last night..."
