Soviet Union 1991

(Second update, there is one more update)

"The Soviets asked for ransom? Oh my god, what is the difference between these guys and gangsters? Hell, they were a group of gangsters. They overthrew the rule of Tsarist Russia and divided the property of the original rulers. Finally, they sat on the throne of the rulers and Transformed into a bastard who is a shameless exploiter! Is this communism? It’s simply more disgusting exploitation than Wall Street.” It’s rare to see President Bush talking to someone on the phone so angrily. Of course, Bush has been passive at every step due to the Vantaa incident. Naturally, the mood will not be any better.

When the U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union told the president the bad news, Bush's voice on the other end of the phone was about to burst Matlock's eardrums. He moved the phone slightly away from his ears, and then said tremblingly, "Your Excellency, the Soviet Union The amount of the ransom has not been announced, but I believe that based on their current urgent need for funds, the amount will not be small.”

"Forget it, no matter how angry you are, it won't help. I know, thank you for your hard work, Ambassador Matlock, go to rest early." After venting, Bush's voice was a little lost. He has been pressing Gorbachev step by step until now. , he never thought that the U.S. policy towards the Soviet Union would fail like this. In the final analysis, it was the guy who tried his best to prevent the Soviet Union from disintegrating, and so many incidents happened.

After putting down the phone, Bush turned to the staff around him and said, "You heard it, the reason why the Soviets dared to provoke us so unscrupulously was all because of the so-called red mercury nuclear bomb."

The conference room became very quiet. The two unfortunate news of mercurochrome nuclear bomb and political blackmail were placed in front of President Bush almost at the same time. No one would be in a good mood.

"Can you confirm the authenticity of the mercury-red bomb with the agent who provided the intelligence?" Bush asked Intelligence Director Robert. After all, he was the first to read this intelligence and presented it directly to the president.

Robert, who had experienced the Vantaa incident, became very careful when speaking. He cautiously answered Bush, "Intelligence experts have analyzed that there is an 80% probability that the Soviets already have mercury-red nuclear bombs, but I think this data is unreliable. Two weeks ago, we received intelligence that the Soviets were gathering pressure to build nuclear weapons. and temperature specific information. If it were an ordinary nuclear weapon, the Soviet Union would not need this data at all. Moreover, we found that the data they collected were for research on miniaturized nuclear weapons, so we made a bold conclusion that the Soviet Union was trying to manufacture them. Some kind of miniaturized nuclear weapon, probably the same size as a nuclear artillery shell.”

"A few months ago, we discovered a large factory under construction somewhere in Smolensk, the Soviet Union. The location was too remote, which aroused our suspicions. However, we didn't find anything wrong for the time being. It was just the entry and exit of some trucks. . It was not until all the collected nuclear weapons information was fed back to Smolensk that it attracted our attention.”

"The agents lurking inside the Soviet Union may have obtained a hint of intelligence information through informant channels. Those sealed iron barrels contained antimony mercuric oxide, pressure and temperature difference data of small nuclear weapons, antimony mercuric oxide, the Soviet Union The men's crude deception foreshadowed a terrible weapon they might be building, the mercurochrome bomb."

When he heard about the creation of a mercury-red nuclear bomb, the calm Bush's expression suddenly changed. He did not expect that the Soviets were actually working hard to develop a "suitcase nuclear bomb." Could it be that the senior officials who controlled the Soviet military knew that they had little time and were preparing to use such extreme measures? Have you used any means to attack Western countries?

"Just before the Vantaa incident occurred, the Soviet Union immediately stopped collecting and infiltrating data and intelligence on nuclear weapons, and the factories where vehicles frequently appeared fell silent. It was as if everything had never happened. When this happens, there is only one way Maybe." At this point, Robert was silent for a while, and what he was going to say next was probably a reality that no one was willing to accept.

Vice President Dan Quayle on the side took over CIA Director Robert's words with trembling lips, "Yes, this means that our intelligence has lost its effect on them. The Soviets found a way to solve the temperature stress, that is, Said that the Soviets had developed a mercurochrome nuclear bomb.”

Robert placed a stack of satellite photos in front of the president. Above was a blurry mountain shot from above. You could vaguely see a dazzling fireball rising in the middle. This stack of photos were all surrounding the mountain. As the explosion unfolded from start to finish, Robert explained, "This was before we stopped gathering intelligence. A Soviet explosion test was detected one day, and a rising mushroom cloud could be seen from the test. However, the yield of this nuclear weapon was relatively small, even as small as a nuclear bomb, but the explosion and radioactive radiation were enough to wipe it out. Flatten a Pentagon or the White House and kill everyone present."

"Can our security inspection facilities detect such weapons?" Bush became a little restless. Who could sleep peacefully when he thought that there were such invisible nuclear weapons all around him.

Dan Quayle explained to Bush, "The Pentagon's security monitoring has been upgraded to the highest level. We can ensure that this will not happen. But Mr. President, they don't need to detonate inside the Pentagon. As long as there is a martyr standing at the gate, the entire White House can be flattened. And if the Soviet Union detonates everywhere in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, the US economy will collapse due to panic. After all, no one wants to live under the shadow of nuclear threats. Perhaps the final state is that the Soviet Union uses a few suitcase nuclear bombs to disintegrate the free world."

"If we allocate funds for research now, can we make our own suitcase nuclear bombs? I mean to support this research without reservation. When can we get results at the earliest?" Bush asked anxiously.

"Because President Reagan believed that this weapon was nonsense, we are much behind the Soviet Union in this regard. It will probably take seven or eight years to see the initial results. And only the Soviet Union has large-scale mineral reserves of antimony oxide-mercury, and other regions are stretched to the limit." Robert reported to Bush a number that was enough to make everyone present feel hopeless. Eight years was enough for the Soviet Union, whose production capacity was almost miraculous, to produce tens of thousands of red mercury nuclear bombs, and then detonate them one by one in the West in an orderly manner.

Dan Quayle comforted President Bush, "The Soviet red mercury bomb has just been developed, and its performance in various aspects may not be perfect, such as the safety of red mercury bomb radiation, the cost and difficulty of transportation, etc. Maybe when they find a solution, we will also find a solution."

But at this moment, the vice president's words were useless. Bush felt that he had lost everything. He sat weakly on the chair, holding the table with his hands, and was silent for a long time. All senior staff were waiting for Bush to speak, and finally he just said helplessly, "Let's negotiate peace with the Soviets."

Hearing that they wanted to negotiate peace, the director of the intelligence agency became anxious, "But President Bush, we don't know whether the weapon is a real red mercury nuclear bomb. Maybe it's just a trap set by the Soviets, waiting for us to negotiate peace?"

"Does Director Robert want a gorgeous mushroom cloud to rise over the White House before he believes that this is not a hoax but a bloody fact?" Bush rolled his eyes at Robert, "Removing economic sanctions and negotiating peace with the Soviet Union again will at most return to the starting point. If the Soviet Union is forced to gasp for breath, I can hardly imagine whether the entire United States will be full of nuclear weapons. You and I can't bear this responsibility."

Robert wanted to say something, but Bush interrupted him rudely, "That's enough, Director Robert. I have already used all means to keep your position as the director of the Intelligence Bureau in the Vanta incident, so don't let me down again. Gentlemen, I am very tired now and want to be alone."

Robert sighed, knowing that he could not persuade the president, and prepared to leave the room. Before leaving, Bush said to Robert quietly, "Although the economic offensive has stopped, I hope Director Robert will not forget to create minor frictions with the Soviet Union. The external offensive will be temporarily stopped, but the riots created by those member states must not stop."

Robert's eyes lit up, and he understood Bush's meaning. He nodded to the president and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint the president's expectations."
