Chapter 1304 Towards Doomsday (First Update, Please Subscribe)
The Soviet Union was indeed not prepared!

To a certain extent, the Soviet Union was not as well prepared for war as Southeast Asia.

In terms of intercontinental missiles, the Soviet Union had only 40, and only about 20 of them could hit the United States.

In terms of the number of intercontinental missiles, South Korea has 32 "Peacekeepers" with a range of 12000 kilometers, including 6 of the most advanced "Peacekeeper 2", which is the world's first intercontinental missile with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles and can carry three 3-ton nuclear bombs.

So, in essence, in terms of intercontinental missiles alone, Nanyang has a say over the Soviet Union. However, in terms of the number of nuclear bombs, it is indeed not as many as the Soviet Union - less than 3000!

But it was of no use. The atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs carried by those bombers could not reach Nanyang. Even if long-range bombers were sent, they could not break through Nanyang's air defense network.

Therefore, this is the case when comparing our strength with Southeast Asia, let alone with the United States.

But no matter what, since you are already at the gambling table, it doesn’t matter how much capital you have, but whether you dare to go all in!
At this time, facing the medium-range missiles and more than one hundred nuclear bombs deployed by the Soviet Union in Cuba, the United States was going all in!
I just ask you if you want to follow!

No one knew whether the Soviet Union would follow suit, but with Kennedy’s speech, the whole world knew - the United States was ready to go all in!

For most people in Nanyang, they still live their lives as usual.
Of course, this business as usual is different from the past.

Although Nanyang is far enough away from both Russia and the United States, news about nuclear war is everywhere on TV and in newspapers every day, making even the most calm people nervous.

Even children in school have started practicing emergency sheltering. In this environment, people will always be involved whether they like it or not.

Standing in the backyard, Wang Changfu was gesturing with a Camel cigarette in his mouth and a newspaper in his hand.

"That should be about it..."

Like many people in Southeast Asia, faced with a sudden crisis, Wang Changfu responded to the country’s call and built an emergency shelter in his backyard.

"One step, two steps, three steps..."

As Wang Changfu was walking in the yard and gesturing, someone shouted:

"Changfu, are you planning to build a shelter too?"

The person who was speaking was Tang Danian from next door. Unlike him, this man was a well-known lawyer.

"Oh, that's not right. There are atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs all day long. What's the difference between winter and winter..."

"Nuclear winter!"

Tang Danian emphasized this and explained:
"During a nuclear explosion, the huge energy injects a large amount of smoke and dust into the atmosphere. Some dust can even enter the stratosphere as high as 12 kilometers. These smoke and dust particles are less than 1 micron in diameter and can stay in the sky for days, even a year or several years. They have a strong absorption capacity for visible light radiation from the sun, but a weak absorption capacity for infrared radiation from the ground, which causes the upper atmosphere to warm up and the surface temperature to drop, producing an effect opposite to the greenhouse effect, making the surface appear like a severe winter, which is a new round of "Ice Age"."

This is a latest theory - or should I say speculation? Tang Danian had seen it in the newspaper. Whenever he thought of the scene described in the newspaper, he felt a chill down his spine.

"Yes, yes, that's the truth. How can the atomic bomb be so powerful? It just exploded. Why did it cause an "Ice Age" in winter?"

Raising the newspaper in his hand, Wang Changfu said:

"This is too scary. So I'm thinking of building a shelter first. Didn't the newspaper say that as long as the family builds this shelter and stores enough food and water for twelve days, people can definitely survive if they stay inside. This family can't afford the risk!"

While expressing his feelings, Wang Changfu gestured:
"I'm planning to get a 20-cubic-meter one. Although 15 cubic meters is enough, a larger space will always allow me to store more food and water. What do you think, Lawyer Tang?"

Listening to Wang Changfu's question, Tang Danian nodded and said:

"That's true. However, the fiberglass shelter is in great demand now. Although the price hasn't increased, you still have to queue up. What's your number?"

"Hey, don't mention it. The queue is over 500,000. They said we have to wait at least half a year. Don't you think this is infuriating? If we had known, we would have built it last year. There would be no need to wait like this. By the way, Lawyer Tang, how big are you going to make it?"

"I want to get two twenty's!"

Tang Danian said without hesitation:
"But they don't sell it there! And you have to wait half a year."

When he said he would not sell it, Tang Danian frowned, then pointed to the backyard and said, "So, I was thinking about digging a "cellar" here first."

"Dig a 'cellar'?"

"Yes, just dig a cellar first, and then put the stuff in it when we get it. It's better to have a cellar now than to have nothing!"

His suggestion made Wang Changfu's eyes light up, and he nodded repeatedly and said:

"Yes, that's right. I think you, Attorney Tang, are very knowledgeable. I'll get one too. I dug one when I was in my hometown..."

Wang Changfu started working in the backyard right away. In fact, he was not the only one doing the same thing. Most of the others were doing the same thing.

In the TV news, the hosts not only spread knowledge about nuclear shelters to the public, but also called on people to build simple shelters.

"Shelters have to exist in every home in the modern family, and this is the age of nuclear weapons."

Listening to the voice coming from the TV, Zhao Deliang just walked over and heard his son ask:

"Dad, will there really be a war?"

Looking at his father, Zhao Xiangming's innocent eyes were filled with unprecedented fear.

Seeing his son's worried look, Zhao Deliang smiled and rubbed his head and said:

"How is that possible? We are in Southeast Asia, not America. If the Russians want to bomb, they will bomb the Americans. What does it have to do with us?"

Listening to his father's answer, Zhao Xiangming said:
"But the teacher said that we are also in danger..."

"That's to prevent trouble before it happens. Okay, Xiangming, let's do this. When the shelter we ordered arrives, you and I will work together to build our shelter. Even if a fight really breaks out, we can just hide. It will definitely be fine. By the way, do you remember what Bert did?"

The "Bert" mentioned by Zhao Deliang is the protagonist of an animation. It is a turtle. When Bert turns around, a bomb detonated by a monkey will appear. It is a short film produced by the government to teach the public how to take shelter in the event of a nuclear war.

"I know I know!"

The eldest daughter sang:
"Hiding, even if danger threatens him, he will not be hurt because he knows what to do,"

With each appearance of the monkey, the surrounding environment disappears, but Bert, hidden in the shell, will take on the responsibility of continuing life.

This film was made to inform the public that nuclear war could occur at any time without notice and every citizen should keep this in mind and be prepared at all times.

Now, in addition to being broadcast on TV, this film is also watched by millions of school-age children in schools, and all of this is for one purpose - to ensure that everyone survives!

"Yes, Bert knows how to do it, and we know how to do it, too. It's hiding, hiding..."

As Zhao Deliang hummed a tune along with his daughter, his eyes fell on his children. No matter what happened, he must let them live a good life.

Only by surviving can life continue!
Mary was making dinner, looking at her husband and children, listening to their conversation, her brows were also filled with sorrow. Having experienced the Allied bombing, she once thought that was the end of the world, but who would have thought that in the face of the real doomsday, everything was nothing worth mentioning.

"Is humanity really going to perish?"

In addition to her worries, Mary couldn't help but complain about those dignitaries in her heart.

"It's only been a few years since the war ended? Why haven't they fought enough? They want to continue the war, and even let the whole world be buried with them!"

For Mary, who witnessed the collapse of the Third Reich, she had a very deep understanding of what it meant to be "buried with the people". After all, when Germany was facing defeat, it was almost completely razed to the ground. Adults, men, women, and even children, millions of people were buried with the ambitions of some people.

"Do Americans also want the whole world to be buried with them?"

When this thought came to her mind, Mary looked at the TV, which was playing Kennedy's speech again. Although it was just a fragment, anyone could tell that it was a warning, or even an ultimatum...
