Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

"Report! The Dragon State missile has changed its course! It...it's not heading towards Moscow! It's heading towards the Arctic Ocean!"

Hearing the news, Joseph was obviously relieved. He subconsciously raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The atmosphere in the conference room instantly changed from despair to confusion.

Several senior generals exchanged glances, seemingly thinking about the same question.

Why do the Long people do this?

Joseph returned to the conference table, sat down, and straightened his military uniform which was a little messy due to his excitement just now.

His breathing gradually became steady, and the anger in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by a vigilant thought.

"It seems that the Dragon people do not want to attack Moscow directly,"

He whispered, with a barely perceptible sense of relief in his voice.

"This could just be a demonstration... a response to our nuclear threat."

Marshal Malinov was about to speak in agreement when the door of the conference room was pushed open again.

The young radar technical officer, his face paler than before, holding a new report in his hand, took a few steps forward tremblingly.

"Comrade Joseph..."

His voice was stammering with shock.

“The Dragon Nation missile…it…it exploded over the Arctic Ocean!”

"Exploded?" Joseph stood up suddenly, his eyes sharp again, "Nuclear explosion?"

"Yes! No, not exactly!" the officer struggled to organize his words. "According to preliminary estimates, the explosion equivalent... is equivalent to 250 to 350 million tons of TNT..."

The conference room fell into deathly silence again.

Everyone present knew what this number meant - it was an explosion with a very large yield, far exceeding the power of the first atomic bomb of the Bear Country, and even close to the estimated power of the hydrogen bomb "Big Ivan" they were developing.

The expression on Joseph's face froze, his eyes became empty, as if he was trying to digest this unbelievable information.

"This is impossible..." He muttered to himself, his voice almost inaudible, "How could the Dragon Nation possess such a powerful weapon..."

Commander Bogdanov was the first to recover from his shock.

This elderly military commander had experienced countless wars and crises, yet at this moment his mind still maintained an astonishing calmness and analytical ability.

"Any radiation readings?" he asked suddenly, his voice uncharacteristically calm.

The officer was stunned for a moment, then quickly flipped through the report in his hand. "According to the data sent back by our monitoring stations in the Arctic, strangely enough... there has been almost no significant increase in radiation detected."

"This... this is unlike any nuclear weapon we know of."

This time, the reaction in the conference room was no longer silence, but a burst of low discussions and exclamations.

Everyone was trying to understand the meaning of this information - a weapon with the power of a nuclear weapon but without the nuclear radiation?

This is simply a groundbreaking revolution in military technology!

Joseph's expression grew even darker.

He slowly sat back in his chair, crossed his hands on the table, his eyes filled with mixed emotions.

"If this is true," he said in a low and hoarse voice, "then the Dragon Nation has mastered a brand new super weapon technology, a technology that neither we nor Eagle Sauce have mastered."

He paused, his eyes scanning everyone in the room:

"If this type of weapon truly does not produce nuclear radiation contamination, then it will not have the biggest flaw of conventional nuclear weapons - the subsequent effects."

"This means it can be used in any battlefield without having to worry about radiation damage to friendly troops."

Air Force Marshal Novikov interrupted at this time, and his professionalism made him pay attention to another key point.

"Don't forget the missile's capabilities. It can travel at speeds exceeding Mach 8, is able to fly outside the atmosphere, and can evade our interception systems. This delivery system itself is an astonishing technological breakthrough."

The atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly depressing.

Everyone realizes that they are facing not just a conventional military threat, but a technological revolution that could change the balance of power in the world.

Marshal Malinov suddenly slammed the table, breaking the silence.

"This must be some kind of deception! There's no way the Dragon Nation could have made such a huge technological leap in just a few years! They must have stolen the technology from somewhere, or someone must be secretly helping them!"

Joseph pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly: "No matter where this technology comes from, the reality is that Dragon Nation now has it. This changes our strategic plan."

He stood up, walked to the map and pointed to the location of the besieged Soviet army in the Far East.

"We must reassess our current military operations. If the Dragon Kingdom possesses such weapons, our besieged troops will be in even greater danger."

Commander Bogdanov nodded. "Comrade Joseph, I believe we should immediately engage with the Dragon Nation through diplomatic channels to seek a peaceful resolution to the issue of the besieged troops."

"This is no longer a simple military confrontation, but a strategic issue concerning our national security."

Marshal Malinov immediately objected: "Showing weakness will only make the Dragon Kingdom more arrogant! We should immediately accelerate the development of the 'Big Ivan' hydrogen bomb and simultaneously begin gathering intelligence on this new weapon from the Dragon Kingdom."

Karpov, the head of the KGB, spoke for the first time at this time: "My department can immediately launch a special operation to infiltrate the core military industrial facilities of Dragon Country and obtain intelligence about this weapon. If possible, we can even try to recruit or kidnap the relevant scientists."

Chief of the General Staff Vasilevsky shook his head: "Even if we get intelligence, it will take years from research and development to actual deployment. During this period, we will be at a strategic disadvantage."

Joseph listened to the discussion quietly, his eyes becoming more and more profound. Finally, he raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"Comrades, we are facing a completely new strategic reality." His voice was calm but authoritative. "The Dragon Nation is no longer the weak nation that was bullied by others. They now have the strength to compete with us, and in some aspects, even surpass us."

There was silence in the meeting room as everyone waited for their leader's decision.

Joseph walked back to the chair, sat down, and took a deep breath. "I have decided that regarding the issue of the besieged troops in the Far East, we will negotiate with the Dragon Kingdom through diplomatic channels. At the same time, I order all intelligence departments to make obtaining intelligence on the Dragon Kingdom's new weapons technology a top priority."

He looked around at everyone in the room with a rare look of caution and worry in his eyes.

"Furthermore, we must reassess our overall strategy towards the Dragon Kingdom. They are no longer our former little brother, but a superpower that must be taken seriously."

Commander Bogdanov nodded slightly in agreement, while Marshal Malinov frowned, obviously not very happy with the decision, but he did not openly oppose it.

Joseph stood up, walked to the window of the conference room, opened the heavy curtains, and looked at the night sky of Moscow.

In the far north, the Dragon Nation's new weapons have demonstrated their power, and this is only the beginning.

A new era, an era of military technological revolution, has quietly arrived.
