[Illustration:] OPERATION R.S.V.P. By H. Beam Piper
Vladmir N. Dzhoubinsky, Foreign Minister, Union of East European
Soviet Republics, to Wu Fung Tung, Foreign Minister, United Peoples'
Republics of East Asia :
15 Jan. 1984 Honored Sir: Pursuant to our well known policy of exchanging military and
scientific information with the Government, of friendly Powers, my
Government takes great pleasure in announcing the completely
successful final tests of our new nuclear rocket guided missile
Marxist Victory . The test launching was made from a position south
of Lake Balkash; the target was located in the East Siberian Sea. In order to assist you in appreciating the range of the new guided
missile Marxist Victory , let me point out that the distance from
launching site to target is somewhat over 50 percent greater than the
distance from launching site to your capital, Nanking. My Government is still hopeful that your Government will revise its
present intransigeant position on the Khakum River dispute. I have the honor, etc., etc., etc., V. N. Dzhoubinsky [Illustration:]
Wu Fung Tung, to Vladmir N. Dzhoubinsky :
7 Feb., 1984 Estimable Sir: My Government was most delighted to learn of the splendid triumph of
your Government in developing the new guided missile Marxist
Victory , and at the same time deeply relieved. We had, of course,
detected the release of nuclear energy incident to the test, and
inasmuch as it had obviously originated in the disintegration of a
quantity of Uranium 235, we had feared that an explosion had occurred
at your Government's secret uranium plant at Khatanga. We have long
known of the lax security measures in effect at this plant, and have,
as a consequence, been expecting some disaster there. I am therefore sure that your Government will be equally gratified to
learn of the perfection, by my Government, of our own new guided
missile Celestial Destroyer , which embodies, in greatly improved
form, many of the features of your own Government's guided missile
Marxist Victory . Naturally, your own scientific warfare specialists
have detected the release of energy incident to the explosion of our
own improved thorium hafnium interaction bomb; this bomb was exploded
over the North Polar ice cap, about two hundred miles south of the
Pole, on about 35 degrees East Longitude, almost due north of your
capital city of Moscow. The launching was made from a site in Thibet. Naturally, my Government cannot deviate from our present just and
reasonable attitude in the Khakum River question. Trusting that your
Government will realize this, I have the honor to be, Your obedient and respectful servant, Wu Fung Tung
From N. Y. TIMES, Feb. 20, 1984: AFGHAN RULER FETED AT NANKING Ameer Shere Ali Abdallah Confers With UPREA Pres. Sung Li Yin
UEESR Foreign Minister Dzhoubinsky to Maxim G. Krylenkoff, Ambassador
at Nanking:
3 March, 1984 Comrade Ambassador: It is desired that you make immediate secret and confidential repeat
secret and confidential inquiry as to the whereabouts of Dr. Dimitri
O. Voronoff, the noted Soviet rocket expert, designer of the new
guided missile Marxist Victory , who vanished a week ago from the
Josef Vissarionovitch Djugashvli Reaction Propulsion Laboratories at
Molotovgorod. It is feared in Government circles that this noted
scientist has been abducted by agents of the United Peoples' Republics
of East Asia, possibly to extract from him, under torture, information
of a secret technical nature. As you know, this is but the latest of a series of such
disappearances, beginning about five years ago, when the Khakum River
question first arose... Continue reading book >>
