Chapter 1303 Crisis is an opportunity (rd update, please subscribe)

"What I mean is that we should further popularize knowledge about nuclear war and the conditions for survival under nuclear war. There is no need to deliberately link war with economy. Sometimes, imagination is more lethal than science. Right... we just need to tell them that nuclear war may break out and Europe may be destroyed!"

In the office in Daming Palace, Li Yi took the microphone and gave instructions. The person on the other end of the line was Berlin, who was in charge of Nanyang’s secret public opinion network in Europe.

Why do we need to popularize science about nuclear war?
Popular science survival knowledge?

Was it to help Europeans survive?

Well, Li Yian is such a kind-hearted person. He can't bear to see Europeans and of course Americans suffer in a nuclear war. He always hopes to teach them some scientific knowledge about nuclear war, especially the damage caused by nuclear war.

This is definitely a good deed done every day!

This is absolute nonsense. Whether they are Europeans or Americans, their lives and deaths have nothing to do with Nanyang!
In fact, the reason for concern is to facilitate the migration of capital.

The exaggerated war clouds and the destruction of Europe and the United States will cause the transfer of international capital. After all, capital needs to be safe.

This is also why after the "Cuban Missile Crisis", "internationalization" began to come to the fore and became the slogan of many companies.

Is it really to help developing countries build?
When did capitalists become so kind-hearted? They are just trying to diversify risks!
It is the instinct of capital not to put all eggs in one basket.

What is needed now is to intensify this fear, speed up the transfer of capital, and transfer their capital to Southeast Asia. This is the most important thing.

Moreover, Li Yian can be said to have been planning for this crisis for a long time, just like the "Gulfstream" aircraft, which was a jet business aircraft launched by Nanyang Gulfstream four years ago. The engine it uses is the non-afterburner type of WP2 used by the F110 fighter, which is similar to the "Gulfstream" in another world.

Although this model has been launched for four years, the market is relatively limited and the purchasing volume is not large. To put it bluntly, it is because of insufficient demand. Today's rich people have not yet formed the habit of flying everywhere, but this crisis will tell them - private jets are very attractive!

This is also true. After the rumor spread, those who were able to escape first were those who had private jets. After the crisis was over, in order to save their lives, those rich people would definitely become supporters of "Gulfstream". In this way, the next time a crisis occurred, the rich could conveniently take this small jet to take refuge, and of course it would also be convenient for them to fly to various places to inspect their industries.

Private jets and industrial transfer are complementary to each other. In order to facilitate all this, increasing their fear can play a very good boosting role.

Of course, attracting capital from various countries to move to Southeast Asia is just an episode in this crisis.

What matters most right now is the direction of the crisis. If this crisis really turns into a war, then it will be the end of us. After all, no one can predict the butterfly effect.

Soon, Jia Wentao walked into the office carrying a briefcase and reported to you:

"Sir, these are the photos sent back by the Wolf Brush Reconnaissance Satellite. Based on the results of multiple shots, we are sure that the Soviet Union has no more than 23 intercontinental missiles!"

Why are you so sure? The launch silo!
A launch silo costs tens of millions of yuan, and no one would be idle enough to build a fake silo for fun, so you only need to count the launch silos to roughly figure out how many intercontinental missiles the other side has.

“Is this a photo taken with a wolf-hair brush?”

Looking at the satellite photos, Li Yi couldn't help but exclaimed:
"This is such a clear shot! What's its resolution?"

The "Wolf Hair Brush Reconnaissance Satellite" is the most advanced reconnaissance satellite in Nanyang. It took several years to develop. In this era, it can definitely be called "black technology", and it is a very black one, because it uses synthetic aperture radar, so it will not be affected even in severe weather conditions.

Facing your praise, Jia Wentao, as the representative of the investor of the "Wolf Hair Brush Reconnaissance Satellite", said with a smile:
"No, sir, it's only 3 meters away, and I can't see the person's face clearly!"

Is this modesty?
It's obviously showing off!

"And this is just a synthetic aperture radar photo. We are working with the military to develop a new generation of optical reconnaissance satellites, which are planned to use an optical lens with a diameter of about 3 meters. According to preliminary analysis, its resolution should be able to reach about 50 centimeters, and the satellite's downlink data link operates in the EHF extremely high frequency band of about 60GHz, which is almost unaffected by the atmosphere and water vapor."

As the deputy director of the Secret Intelligence Service, Jia Wentao is very familiar with reconnaissance satellites. After all, this is the key to solving the reconnaissance of the Soviet Union and other countries. In the past few years, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the reconnaissance satellite "film return", several laboratories in Nanyang have successfully developed a downlink data link, but the downlink image needs to be pre-compressed, and the resolution will be greatly reduced. Therefore, cathode ray tubes are still used to record on camera film.

It was not until the development of the "Wolf Brush Reconnaissance Satellite" that a breakthrough was finally made in downlink data link transmission, which used a video recorder to save analog image signals and then transmitted them back to the ground control station using an analog signal data link. The resolution of the real-time satellite photos it transmitted back even far exceeded the level of the Soviet Union's optical imaging satellites.

Although this is not a digital signal data link between the satellite and the ground, it is a substantial breakthrough after all.

"If you can't see the person's face clearly, then keep trying..."

Li Yian smiled and looked at the photo in his hand and said.

"Now, it can basically be determined that the Soviet Union is at an absolute disadvantage in nuclear power."

"Yes, sir, but we must take into account another point, that is, the threat posed by the Soviet Union's Western cluster to Europe is not much less than the threat of nuclear weapons. In the face of the Soviet Union's overwhelming ground force, Europe is almost vulnerable. In addition, the Soviet Union has thousands of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs. It may not be able to destroy the United States, but it will have no problem destroying Europe!"

Listening to Jia Wentao's analysis, Li Yian nodded and said:

"Yes, Europe... is the real unlucky one in the war!"

Li Yian said with emotion:

"However, it is basically certain that in the face of absolute strength, the Soviet Union is very likely to make concessions. Based on the current naval and air force strength of the United States, it is more than enough to implement a naval blockade without reducing the naval and air forces in the Atlantic and Mediterranean directions."

The US Navy of this era was definitely the best on the planet. The US Navy had 29 aircraft carriers, 6 amphibious assault ships, 13 cruisers, 246 destroyers and 60 frigates, the largest in the world. The fleet of all other countries combined was not as large as its fleet. What was even more valuable was that its fleet was very complete, with no missing items. They could assemble more than eight aircraft carriers and a huge fleet of hundreds of warships on their home soil to blockade Cuba at sea. The Soviet Navy, which was inherently deficient, could not break through the blockade of this fleet anyway.

"This blockade is not just in Cuba, that's just the inner line. The US military has also strengthened its deployment in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean. To some extent, in the past few days, the United States has completed its war deployment around the world!"

When the Soviet Navy could not break through the blockade of Cuba, let alone the Baltic Sea, the US Pentagon had already completed its war deployment around the world. This was also the source of the US military's confidence, because they could launch an all-round offensive from all directions and regions.

This of course includes the South Pacific, where the USS Friendship has already returned, and the Navy will also cooperate with the US Pacific Fleet in the Pacific region when necessary. Of course, the same is true in Western Europe, where NATO countries will also cooperate with the US military's global offensive.

This is truly the scariest thing!

The Soviet Union may just be taking a risk, but those generals in the Pentagon are really prepared to solve some problems once and for all!
"In the next few days, we will see the United States and the Soviet Union flex their muscles and make harsh remarks to each other, but both Washington and Moscow have plenty of time to consider how this crisis that has attracted worldwide attention will end. We don't know, but one thing is certain: the United States has completed its preparations for war, but what about the Soviet Union? Are they ready?"

When analyzing this matter, Li Yian did not seem nervous at all, as if it was a matter that did not concern him. In fact, if one thinks more positively, it is true. After all, the Soviet Union had too few nuclear missiles, not enough to bomb the United States. If they wanted to distribute some to Southeast Asia...it might not be enough!

However, such a risk cannot be taken. Who knows if they will get carried away and directly attack Nanyang. All-in is OK, but the premise is to ensure that the other party dare not all-in.

It's just a lie!
This is the essence of all-in, really desperate... As the number one capitalist on Blue Star, Li Yian really wants to live another 500 years!
Then, Li Yian said in an extremely calm tone:

"So, next we have to pay attention to the Russian missile silos and observe the movements there."

"Yes, I understand!"

After thinking for a while, Jia Wentao asked:
"Sir, should we use the Ghost to fly over there? After all, it can take clearer pictures!"

"It can take clearer pictures, but it's also more dangerous. The relationship is so tense, so it's better not to provoke them! Also, we have to pay attention to the United States. These two sides are so worrying!"

Afterwards, Li Yian learned about some intelligence matters. After Jia Wentao left the office, Li Yian thought for a while, looked at the photos, and then said to himself:
"A crisis is bound to bring some risks, but...your crisis is Nanyang's opportunity!"

After sighing, Li Yian leaned back in his chair and recalled his layout in various aspects - from international status to the financial field, from speculation in the stock markets of European and American countries to taking advantage of the crisis to sing the "doomsday survival business"...

What kind of crisis is this?

It's clearly money sent by God!
Li Yian does not care about money, but just because he personally does not care about money does not mean that Nanyang does not need money. The happy life of the people of Nanyang requires money.

Where does the money come from? Of course, it comes from those foreigners. It is really rare to have an opportunity like this to get money from God!

If we don't seize the opportunity, we will be really sorry for the opportunity created by the two great powers, the United States and the Soviet Union!
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of a smile on Li Yian's face.

"As long as we pass this test, no country will be able to stop Nanyang's rise!"

Of course, the premise is that they won’t really go all in!
At this moment, Zhang Zheyuan walked in and reported:

"Sir, the Soviet Union, through Pravda, has condemned the U.S. blockade policy and has stated that it will not compromise."

"Okay, they're going to flex their muscles!"

Li Yian took the report from Zhang Zheyuan and took a look at the contents:

The Soviet Union stated that it would continue to use weapons to "assist" Cuba in accordance with the Soviet-Cuban agreement, "firmly reject" the US interception, and "will launch the most intense counterattack" against the US threats.

This was of course not just a verbal threat. In response to the US blockade, the Soviet armed forces began to enter the highest state of combat readiness. All vacations were canceled, veterans’ demobilization was stopped, and even reservists were called up. In the images of US spy satellites, several Soviet nuclear submarines disappeared!

At the same time, with the issuance of the presidential order, a huge US fleet consisting of 68 warships was dispatched, escorted by 8 air force squadrons and 90 aircraft carriers. US warships formed an arc from Florida to Puerto Rico, blocking the waters off Cuba. At the same time, all US missile forces were ordered to be on "high alert", with missiles on the launch pad awaiting instructions.

Not only in Florida and neighboring states, the United States assembled the largest landing force since World War II to prepare for war, but also US military bases around the world were put on alert, ready to fight a global nuclear war. The United States imposed a maritime "quarantine" on Cuba.

It officially began at 10 a.m. on October 24. In the blue Caribbean Sea, U.S. Navy ships controlled thousands of miles of sea. On Grand Turk Island, about 10 kilometers from the east coast of Cuba, there was a huge U.S. missile tracking station, which closely monitored the every move of ships heading to Cuba. The whole of Cuba was surrounded like an iron barrel.

At this time, public opinion all over the world is discussing one topic - Doomsday!
At this moment, from the perspective of the whole world, the world is only one step away from the end of the world!

After all, the United States was ready to fight, but what about the Soviets?
Will they rise to the challenge?

No one knows, but almost every day, the latest satellite photos are sent to Li Yian's desk. After all, the reconnaissance satellite launched urgently is itself to respond to this crisis.

"Fortunately, the missile has not yet been refueled."

Putting down the photos in his hand, Li Yian breathed a sigh of relief. Not refueling meant that the Soviet Union had not made a decision yet. If... if they refueled, then they would have to take it seriously.

While Li Yian was watching the missile silo, the Soviet Union made a decision - to test the blockade with unarmed ships.

After hearing the news, Li Yian was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud:
"Okay, the crisis is over! Just like the other world, the Soviets were not prepared!"

Li Yian didn’t care about this kind of temptation at all, but the signal behind the temptation - the Soviets were not prepared at all!
