RPAGF Chapter 1348 Nuclear Strike Plan
Chapter 1348 Nuclear Strike Plan
"third!"
Gu Chengyuan's tone suddenly turned incredibly cold, and he tapped his finger heavily on the table:
"Order the Theater Command's Operations Department, with Chief of Staff Comrade Wu Bin personally in charge, to immediately organize a crack team, in conjunction with the nuclear, biological, and chemical defense and strategic strike departments, to develop a plan to strike the core pollution source in Nanjing's urban area as quickly as possible!"
"In other words, the feasibility and operational plan for carrying out a tactical or strategic nuclear strike against the location of 'Jinling Ancient Brain'!"
As he said this, a cold glint flashed in Gu Chengyuan's eyes: "It wants to overwhelm us with a biological catastrophe? Fine! Then don't blame me for flipping the table!"
"In the past, we were hesitant to act due to concerns about post-war radiation pollution and resource reuse. Now that it's pressing us relentlessly, threatening to destroy our foundations and wipe out our people, there's nothing left to worry about!"
"The plan needs to be detailed and fast! It needs to include the choice of yield, the method of detonation, the detonation height, the estimated pollution range, and... a backup plan if necessary! I need to see a preliminary plan within twelve hours!"
This order sent shockwaves through all the Standing Committee members.
Revealing nuclear weapons as the last trump card signifies that the situation has been pushed to the brink of the ultimate choice for the survival of civilization.
But no one raised any objections.
The destructive and expansionist nature exhibited by the Nanjing Ancient Brain has exceeded the scope of conventional military confrontation.
"Fourth," Gu Chengyuan's instructions were not yet finished:
"Order the Theater Air Force Command to coordinate all available Y-20 and other large transport aircraft to cancel all non-urgent missions!"
"Fully loaded with chemical defense equipment, medical supplies, high-octane fuel, spare gas filters, and anti-armor/breach-of-war munitions, an emergency airlift echelon will fly towards Gucheng Lake at maximum intensity and density!"
"The coordinates of 'Eagle's Nest' and all backup shelters have been synchronized. The Air Force is required to continue flying continuously until the order is lifted!"
"In addition, the strategic duty air force units are ordered to raise their alert level. If necessary, they will be escorted by transport aircraft and probing air strikes will be carried out against the confirmed follow-up clusters of the fungal swarm far from civilian areas to slow their convergence."
A series of orders, like cannonballs fired from a gun, were dense and decisive.
From holding the line on the ground to sending reinforcements, from ultimate deterrence to logistical support, a comprehensive and decisive response system has been formed.
In the conference room, only Gu Chengyuan's steady and powerful voice and the scratching sound of pen tip quickly writing on paper could be heard.
As the final command faded, Gu Chengyuan leaned back slightly, placed his hands on the edge of the table, and swept his gaze across the crowd once more:
"Fellow countrymen, the situation is extremely precarious, and we have no way out! We can lose Gucheng Lake, but we cannot abandon our hundreds of thousands of compatriots, and our banner of 'rejuvenation' must not fall!"
"Follow the order."
"Yes!!!"
All the Standing Committee members stood up in unison, chests out, their weariness replaced by a resolute determination.
They saluted Gu Chengyuan, their eyes no longer showing the slightest hesitation.
Wu Bin picked up the folder first, a smile on his face, and strode towards the door to begin making urgent contact with the operations department.
Wang Tiefeng and Shao Gang exchanged a few quick words in hushed tones before leaving to coordinate matters concerning the Army, Logistics, and Air Force, respectively.
In the conference room, Gu Chengyuan was left alone in an instant.
He turned his gaze back to the large screen, looking at the purplish-red area that represented destruction and struggle, and at the faint points of light that symbolized the city wall defenses.
My brother's figure seemed to be among those points of light.
He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, all that remained in his eyes was the frozen lake, reflecting the mountain-like responsibility and future that he had to bear.
The gears of the war machine, under his command, began to turn with unprecedented speed and intensity.
There is only one goal—to seize that sliver of hope amidst the raging tide of extinction.
------
At the same time, in Jinling, west of the Gucheng Lake gathering area.
At this moment, the tall, thick, and black city wall has completely shed its silent appearance as a geographical boundary, transforming into a steel behemoth lying prostrate under the night sky, its body covered in sharp spikes.
Along the wall that stretches for several kilometers, shadowy figures move about, yet an orderly scene unfolds.
Behind the crenellations, rows of light and heavy machine guns protruded like venomous fangs, their muzzles all pointing towards the bottomless darkness beyond the wall.
At intervals, on reinforced concrete gun emplacements, twin 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns are laid flat, their thick barrels gleaming with a ghostly light.
Even more chilling were the quadruple 25mm anti-aircraft guns that had been hastily dragged onto the city wall and temporarily secured with steel cables and sandbags. Their long, densely packed barrels were slightly lowered, pointing towards the gentle slopes and open fields outside the city wall, ready to tear apart any living thing that dared to approach with a violent storm of metal.
On the pre-set positions inside and behind the wall, the muzzles of 82mm recoilless rifles and 120mm heavy mortars were raised, and ammunition handlers were busily stacking shells.
The searchlight beams no longer swept haphazardly, but instead, like solidified swords, crisscrossed and locked onto several key directions and possible approach routes outside the city.
The air was thick with the smell of engine oil, a faint smell of gunpowder rehearsals, and a tense, deathly silence, like the eve of a major battle.
The entire section of the city wall resembled a primordial beast suppressing a low roar, concentrating all its power in its fangs, quietly awaiting the first wave of bloody clashes.
In the middle section of the city wall, there is a relatively rearward defense zone.
The terrain here is slightly higher, and the city walls are thicker. It was originally intended as a second-line reserve force and a support firepower assembly point.
At this moment, this area was marked with the sign "Reconnaissance Battalion".
Battalion Commander Gao Cheng and Political Instructor Gu Chengyun were both dressed in bulky, airtight full-body heavy chemical protective suits and gas masks that integrated communication and night vision modules. They were completely covered from head to toe, with only their military ranks, which were prominently displayed on their chests, indicating their identities.
They were walking one after the other, their steps heavy yet swift, through the narrow, busy passageways of their own defense zone.
