Chapter 552: The Last Madness of You Tai Country (Part 3)
This is just like South Korea and Japan, if they had nuclear weapons, the authority to control the launch would certainly be in the hands of the Beautiful Country, there's no doubt about it.
The reason the Beautiful Country initially allowed You Tai Country to possess nuclear arms was also out of strategic necessity to deter the Middle East. When the other oil-producing countries in the Middle East knew their nasty neighbor had nuclear weapons, they would be more eager to align with the Beautiful Country and seek its protection.
But the Beautiful Country always holds back a step; they would never let You Tai Country lose control, so the launch codes for the nuclear weapons have always been in the possession of the Beautiful Country, and the You Tai Country government does not have this authority.
Hearing Ernesto's request, Jesmin shook his head helplessly and said, "Ernesto, I know what you're thinking, that is too crazy, the launch codes cannot be given to you."
Upon hearing this, Ernesto could no longer restrain himself, slapped the table and shouted, "Jesmin, are you just going to sit back and watch us in You Tai Country perish? Without nuclear weapons, how do we get Jieke Group to retreat? You must give the launch codes to me. Once the nuclear weapons are successfully launched, Jieke Group will certainly retreat, and I'll take the blame for everything at that time."
Now You Tai Country is on the brink of being destroyed, Ernesto couldn't care less about anything else.
No matter how severe the consequences of launching nuclear weapons are, he doesn't mind anymore. This is the only chance for You Tai Country to survive.
"Once nuclear weapons are involved, the situation will become untenable, and no one will be able to bring it to a close. Jieke Group will surely take equivalent retaliatory action and hold us, the Beautiful Country, accountable.
Moreover, to be frank, your chances of successfully launching the nuclear bomb are not great. Jieke Group has always been on guard against you. Based on our staff department's remarks, their bomber has always been patrolling your territory, with over ten maintaining a circling deployment every day. The nuclear missile, once launched, would be captured and most likely shot down in the slow ascent phase."
Jesmin rejected once again without hesitation, not hesitating for half a second.
Launching a nuclear weapon will touch the nerve of every country globally. Along with Jieke Group's own terrifying biochemical virus technology, the current Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber's ultra-long terrifying range, and the existence of the Kunpeng Rocket, saying that Jieke Group does not have intercontinental-level nuclear weapons capability is just lying with eyes wide open.
Its Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber can make two round trips between Jieke Group and You Tai Country, the range exceeding 20,000 kilometers, and the tens of thousands of tons Kunpeng Rocket can soar into the sky and even execute precise rocket recovery.
With Jieke Group's technical capabilities, it can completely modify the Kunpeng Rocket into an intercontinental missile, with warheads carrying biochemical viruses, or use the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber for long-range delivery, which may be even more terrifying than nuclear weapons.
At least when a nuclear weapon is launched, it only destroys one city, but if such biochemical viruses have large-scale transmissibility, the consequences...
Therefore, the Beautiful Country doesn't want to provoke Jieke Group's sensitive nerves. Once You Tai Country launches a nuclear weapon, and Jieke Group retaliates in kind, it won't be just You Tai Country that suffers, the Beautiful Country could very well be caught up in it too,
By then, the intensity of the war would increase further, and a world war might even ensue.
"President Jesmin, the strength of us, the You Tai, can help the Beautiful Country. As long as you're willing to help us through this difficult time, we can promise to contribute half of the You Tai assets post-war."
Issac came over; he had been listening to the conversation the entire time. Now, their only salvation could rely on the Beautiful Country, even though sacrificing half his fortune was painful, he could only make such a drastic decision to survive.
As a leading figure in the You Tai commercial field, he knew Jesmin too, hoping to sway the other with money.
Upon hearing this, a hint of a playful smirk flashed in Jesmin's eyes as he waved his hand again, saying, "Don't say anything more; this level of war is not something that can be decided by money, and other conglomerates and interest groups would not agree as well. As the President, I'm also helpless, sorry."
Just as Jesmin finished speaking, a few chuckles suddenly emerged beside him, faintly laced with ridicule.
"That voice, it's Booker Morgan, Merrick Rockefeller..."
Recognizing the abrupt laughter, Issac quickly identified the voice owners; one was the Morgan Family Head, the other was the head of the Rockefeller Family, both veteran financial empire families of the Beautiful Country, which have deep-rooted foundations in the Beautiful Country and tangled influences, they are also the behind-the-scenes supporters and financial backers of Jesmin, the Democratic Party president.
As a business mogul of You Tai descent in the Beautiful Country, Issac had dealt with them many times, so when they spoke, he immediately recognized them.
The laughter ceased from the other side of the video, leaving only a gloomy voice coming through the video.
"Isaac, if you die, don't talk about half of your property; your entire estate will be ours."
The voice was filled with the utmost ridicule and mockery, steeped in disdain and contempt; it was the voice of the Morgan Family Head.
"You You Tai think you are worthy of sitting on par with us? In the past, letting you sit and share the spoils, you really thought you were the masters. A dog is always a dog, unworthy of the stage."
An elderly female voice came, that was the voice of the head of the Rockefeller Family, full of contempt for the You Tai, as if she was also traditionally anti-You Tai, only needing to disguise it in the past, now she no longer needs to hide it.
