Chapter 350: The Di Guo's Suicide Plan

"Our concept is to first use the 'Thor MK-1' rocket artillery for large-scale 'carpet clearing' to destroy the Di Guo's anti-aircraft system and important military facilities, then immediately launch 'Air Strike-1' missiles to conduct a 'decapitation' strike on the enemy's command center," the Military Department director introduced the operation plan in detail to Li Mingyuan.

"This 'carpet clearing + decapitation' two-pronged strategy will cause a devastating blow to the Di Guo."

Li Mingyuan completely agreed with this strategy: "The advantage of rocket artillery lies in its high quantity, rapid launch, and difficulty to intercept, making it very suitable for striking area targets. The advantage of missiles lies in their great power, making them suitable for striking high-value targets. Combining the two multiplies the power."

……

As production work unfolded comprehensively, the entire military industrial base entered an unprecedented state of busyness.

The day-and-night roar of machinery, the tense work rhythm of the workers, and the frequent entry and exit of transport vehicles—all these abnormal activities began to attract the attention of the Di Guo's intelligence department.

Intelligence officers at the Di Guo's embassy in the neighboring country began receiving some strange reports:

The procurement volume of special steel and electronic components in certain regions of Long Country had suddenly increased significantly; the electricity consumption of several military industrial bases had doubled; high-level military officials were frequently traveling between the capital and the Northeast Military Industrial Base...

"There is some major movement," the Di Guo intelligence department's analysis report wrote, "Long Country may be secretly developing a new weapon system. It is recommended to strengthen intelligence collection, especially focusing on Li Mingyuan's activities."

When General Havier received this report, he was inspecting the deployment of chemical weapons on the front line.

He frowned slightly, then said to the accompanying Director Carter: "Send more agents to infiltrate the Long Country's military industrial base; we must figure out what kind of mischief they are up to. At the same time, accelerate the deployment progress of the chemical weapons; we cannot give them too much time."

Carter nodded: "Yes, General. However, infiltrating those highly guarded military industrial bases is no easy task..."

"At all costs," Havier said coldly, "If the situation becomes critical, consider direct action to destroy their research and development facilities."

In the Di Guo intelligence analysis center, inside an inconspicuous gray building, the lights were bright.

"Report, sir, there are signs of large-scale mobilization of the Long Country's military."

A young intelligence analyst pushed up his glasses and placed a stack of photos and documents in front of General Havier.

General Havier narrowed his eyes and picked up the photos to examine them carefully.

They were blurry images taken from a high-altitude reconnaissance plane, showing a large number of trucks and equipment gathering toward the front line.

"Interesting, very interesting." He sneered, "What kind of tricks are these yellow-skinned monkeys playing again?"

"According to our informant's report, a certain military industrial base in the Northeast of Long Country is producing 24 hours a day without interruption, and electricity consumption has surged by nearly 200%. Also, that guy named Li Mingyuan is at that base almost every day."

Havier looked up abruptly, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, "Li Mingyuan? Is that the guy who helped Long Country develop missiles?"

"It is indeed him, General. We suspect that Long Country may be developing some kind of new weapon."

Havier slammed the table hard, "Damn it, it was this bastard last time who caused us to lose an entire carrier strike group! We must figure out what kind of mischief they are up to!"

"The problem is, it is very difficult for our agents to infiltrate that base. Recently, Long Country's counter-espionage activities have been exceptionally active."

Havier fell into deep thought; suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a sinister smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Since that's the case, we'll play some old tricks. Didn't the 'sudden attack during armistice negotiations' routine work very well last time?"

A few hours later, at the Di Guo's supreme military command, a secret meeting was underway.

"Gentlemen," General Havier stood in front of the projection screen, his voice icy,

"Long Country has been acting frequently lately, and intelligence shows they may be developing new weapons. But no matter what tricks they play, they will not be our match."

He switched to the next slide, which showed a complex operational map.

"I propose that we repeat our old trick. Pretend to negotiate an armistice while secretly preparing for a surprise attack. But this time, we are going to play big."

His finger pointed to several red dots on the map, "BW-7 biological weapon, XN-20 nerve agent. We will use these two most advanced chemical weapons to destroy Long Country's effective strength in one fell swoop."

There was an uproar in the conference room.

"Chemical weapons? General, isn't this too..." a civil official spoke hesitantly.

"Too what? Too cruel?" Havier sneered, "War is war, and the winner takes all. We cannot let that guy named Li Mingyuan have time to complete his new weapon, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

He looked around the conference room, his gaze like a torch, "The people of Long Country are not of our kind; their lives are not worth mentioning. We will suddenly turn hostile at the negotiating table and then immediately implement the airdrop plan."

The projection screen switched to an aircraft modification diagram, "We will select the craziest pilots to fly this specially modified bomber to carry out a suicide mission."

"Suicide?" a general asked in surprise.

"That's right," Havier nodded coldly, "To ensure that the chemical weapons can be accurately dropped into the assembly area of Long Country's front-line troops, the pilots will crash directly into the target. No one will come back alive, which also means—no evidence."

The atmosphere in the conference room became exceptionally oppressive.

"We have already selected 12 volunteers, all of whom are pilots who harbor extreme hatred for Long Country. They have been told that this is a great 'martyrdom' operation that will be recorded in the Di Guo's history books forever."

After General Havier's speech, the meeting quickly made a decision. The President personally signed this "top secret" operation, codenamed "Terminator".

That night, in the basement of the Di Guo's embassy in Beijixiong Guo, a secret meeting was taking place.

Ivanov, the intelligence officer who chose to betray orders for the sake of human conscience, was talking to a mysterious figure.

"Time is running out," Ivanov said in a low voice, "The Di Guo plans to launch a chemical weapon attack on Long Country's front-line troops in the early hours of next Wednesday. They will suddenly turn hostile at the negotiating table and then immediately launch a suicide air raid."

The mysterious figure stared at Ivanov, "Are you sure this intelligence is accurate?"

"Absolutely certain." Ivanov took a micro-film out of his pocket, "Here is the detailed plan, including the attack time, target coordinates, and the types of chemical weapons. BW-7 and XN-20, the two most lethal weapons."

The mysterious person took the film and carefully hid it in their pocket, "You took a great risk."

Ivanov gave a bitter smile, "Perhaps, but I cannot watch millions of people die because of political calculations."

The mysterious person nodded, "The people of Long Country will not forget today's kindness."

They said their hurried goodbyes and disappeared into the night of Mocheng.
