    "What do you want to say?" Lin Rui looked at Palmina and asked.

    "Before that, I want to ask you if you know Novaya Zemlya?" Palmina looked at Lin Rui and said.

    Lin Rui was a little confused, "I'm not sure where that place is."

    Yelena's expression changed slightly, "That's a nuclear test base!"

    Palmina nodded and said, "Yes. Russia's Novaya Zemlya Island is located in the Arctic Circle. It is covered with snow all year round, has a cold climate, and is sparsely populated. Russia's closest cities to the island, such as Murmansk and Arkhangelsk, are among them.  A thousand kilometers away.

    In July 1954, the Soviet Union decided to build a nuclear test site on the island.  From 1959 to the end of 1962, the Soviet Union carried out a total of 91 nuclear explosions on Novaya Zemlya, of which 3 were underwater explosions, 1 was a ground explosion, 2 were water explosions, and the rest were air explosions.

    The most famous one was in 1961, when the Soviet Union conducted the largest hydrogen bomb test on Novaya Zemlya.  In the early morning of that day, Liasnikov, a pilot of the Soviet "Bagrovkosky" aviation group specialized in airdropping atomic bombs, took off from the Olenya Naval Airport near Murmansk.  The Tu-95 strategic bomber is loaded with a 26-ton "Big Ivan" hydrogen bomb.

    That is the largest nuclear bomb ever detonated in the world, with an explosive power of about 58 million tons of TNT.  At 11:32 a.m., a hydrogen bomb exploded over Novaya Zemlya.  When the hydrogen bomb exploded, radio communications between the bomber, the ship, and the ground were all interrupted and were restored after an hour.  The red mushroom cloud is 70 kilometers high!  "

    This hydrogen bomb not only destroyed all buildings near the center of the explosion, but also seriously affected electronic communication systems within thousands of kilometers.  The Soviet air defense radar in the Arctic was burned out and unable to detect air targets.  Radio communications at command posts at all levels were interrupted, making it impossible to communicate with the troops for more than an hour.

    The U.S. military¡¯s early warning radar in Alaska and high-frequency communications within a range of 4,000 kilometers also failed for as long as 20 hours.  The electromagnetic disturbance caused by the explosion spread around the world three times.  "

    Palmina said so many words in one breath, but suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lin Rui.  Lin Rui shrugged, "It's crazy, isn't it? You and the Americans proved that humans can destroy the whole world."

    "It was a special era. It was because of that nuclear explosion that the two sides finally moved towards negotiations. In fact, after the end of the Cold War, Russia announced its plan to maintain its nuclear arsenal and announced that it retained the right to resume nuclear tests on Novaya Zemlya, but nuclear tests  It has never been done again. In addition, Russia announced to the outside world that it is also preparing to establish a nuclear waste storage site on Novaya Zemlya. It will mainly be used to store nuclear waste generated by the decommissioned nuclear submarines of the Russian Northern Fleet." Palmina said.

    "Generally speaking, there must be some discrepancy between external claims and the actual situation." Lin Rui shrugged.

    Palmina nodded, "Indeed, there are still some small-scale critical experiments. Novaya Zemlya has always been peaceful. Until a week ago, some unidentified militants sneaked into the island. They used raids to solve the problem of Novaya Zemlya.  The island¡¯s guards held some scientific researchers hostage and took control of a research center on Novaya Zemlya.¡±

    "The nuclear test base was occupied by a group of militants?" Lin Rui's expression changed slightly.

    "Yes, the identity of the gangsters has not been confirmed, and they have not made any demands yet." Palmina said.  "The problem is, there are tactical-grade nuclear warheads used for testing in this base. And nuclear waste stored there for experimental purposes."

    "That's what the Alpha special forces outside do. You have weapons and equipment, manpower and technology, and are fully capable of solving this matter. There is no need to find mercenaries." Lin Rui looked at Palmina and said.

    "It's been almost a week since the incident happened. Do you think we haven't tried it? They occupied the heavily guarded experimental center. We tried various methods but failed to penetrate. A total of sixty-eight people died for this.  Sixty-eight of them are all elites of the special forces." Palmina said angrily, "We even want to use missiles to completely destroy it before things get out of hand."

    "It has been a week since this happened, but there is no news at all from the outside world. This shows that you have blocked this news. You blocked the news because you have some scruples. What is there to be ashamed of? I understand, because once it is announced  , then you have violated the treaty on the comprehensive ban on nuclear testing." Lin Rui sneered.

    Palmina said calmly, "Although we used weapons-grade plutonium and highly enriched uranium in the test, no chain reaction occurred and no nuclear energy was released. Therefore, this subcritical test does not violate the treaty. We just don't want it to happen."  It's too high-profile, especially if the Americans don't want to know about it. And those technical experts and tactical-grade nuclear weapons must be preserved."

    "So how many do you want to make?Mercenaries like us will go to the occupied nuclear testing base to help you save people and help you die.  Just because there is nothing you can do about your ace troops, and the casualties of mercenaries will not cause you any trouble.  Yelena said angrily.

    "Yes, and you must do it." Palmina said slowly.  "Half an hour ago, when you were in my car, my superior had reached an agreement with Silver Wolf. He finally accepted the business."

    "This is impossible!" Yelena said in surprise, "It is impossible for Silver Wolf to agree to take on this task."

    "Unless he knows, if he doesn't agree, we'll be finished." Lin Rui said coldly.

    Palmina shrugged and said, "I know that doing this will make me look bad. But it doesn't matter, for the country, I can even sacrifice my life, not to mention my reputation and image. From another perspective, we  The price offered to you by Heidao Company is also quite good."

    "I want to talk to Silver Wolf." Lin Rui said calmly.

    "Impossible. From now on, you two will not be allowed to have contact with anyone outside. We cannot allow this matter to spread and affect the interests of the Russian Federation." Palmina said coldly.  "Here is the information you need to master. You have a few hours to prepare. In a few hours, you will be put on a plane and dropped on Novaya Zemlya."

    "What if we refuse to complete the task?" Yelena gritted her teeth.

    "You won't refuse, because once you show up there, there will be no chance of survival other than to eliminate those militants. Novaya Zemlya is located in the Arctic Circle. If you can't enter the base within a few hours, there will only be one  The ending - freezing to death outside the base." Palmina said coldly, "And as long as you go in, those militants will attack you desperately. If you want to survive and struggle to survive, the only way is to fight.  "
