Chapter 362: Beginning a Nuclear War

If two adults have a conflict, they will often talk about it before starting a scolding battle and then starting a fight. But sometimes you will encounter hooligans, they are unreasonable, they just start scolding, once you talk back, they will directly do it.

There is another type of person who is more terrible than a hooligan, and that is the psychopath. Some psychopaths are unreasonable, don't swear, and do what they meet, just like in the United States now.

After the assassination of President Blomberg, the United States closed the dialogue with Jiuyou, whether it was a nuclear bomb attack on Rome or the sinking of an American aircraft carrier, they could always shift the blame to Jiuyou at the first time. The speed of the response has led to doubts about whether the United States has actually done an investigation, or if their intelligence system is more developed than expected. But how could such a well-developed intelligence system not prevent a disaster before it happened?

The United States is like a psychopath, not reasoning with Jiuyou, not scolding Jiuyou, and when he comes up with a sentence of "I'm going to do it", he swings his fist, and it is an iron fist......

In the White House, in the military operations room, Mark opened a black suitcase, which is the famous "nuclear weapons launch box", with a whole screen on one side, buttons on the other, and several brochures in it.

After opening the box, Mark pulled out another card from his jacket pocket, which was an identification card with ten lines of numbers written on it, and only one line was the correct number.

The room was full of people, half wearing various military uniforms, half wearing suits, and a huge screen hung on one of the walls next to the door, and the center of the screen displayed a map of the Nine Shades at this time, marked with dozens of red dots, and Zijing City, the capital of the Nine Shades, was also marked.

"Mr. President, this kind of all-out blow is bound to lead to a crazy counterattack from Jiuyou. In the first round of nuclear strikes, I think we should attack the military base of Jiuyou first, and deploy strategic nuclear bombs over Jiuyou to cut off the communication of their core cities. For humanitarian reasons, if our military repression is effective, we will start talks with both sides of the Nine Shadows, asking them to sign a peace treaty to reduce the harm to civilians. "An elderly white general, who has five silver stars on his epaulettes, is making a suggestion to President Mark.

"No, no, no, General Gerald. The war has already begun, and let's not forget that it was they who started it, and we must give our opponents a strong response. If they want to give up peace, then we will destroy them. What is the current state of our nuclear weapons?"

Mark asked as he looked through several black booklets in the black box, which recorded four action plans with different strike intensities, recording the number of US nuclear weapons, the deployment location and the scheduled launch route, and the list of classified bases.

President Mark chose the last of the four courses of action, and it was the one that hit it the hardest. The imaginary enemy in the plan is Russia, and Mark has changed his primary target to Jiuyou by this time, and has redeployed his course of action.

"After nuclear disarmament, we claimed that we had a stockpile of 6,800 nuclear bombs, but in reality we had more than 10,000 nuclear bombs. Moreover, we have a high production capacity and sufficient reserves of nuclear materials, and we are already starting to manufacture them in full swing. ”

"Good. Do you think our first round* of attacks will have a significant effect?"

"Mr. President, launching 278 Intercontinental* at one time is our limit, and the rest of the more Intercontinental* are not ready for launch and still need to be debugged and maintained. However, even so, it is believed that there is no other country in the world that can launch so many intercontinental* at one time.

ICB* is expensive, but its offensive effectiveness is remarkable. * The speed exceeds Mach 20 (speed of sound), and it can reach Jiuyou in as fast as 15 minutes after launch. I expect that the Nine Shadows' Dongfeng anti-missile* will be able to intercept 30 percent of our intercontinental*, but the rest* will be enough to destroy the Nine Shadows.

However, there must be many secret military bases in Jiuyou that we don't know, and we can't estimate their nuclear counterattack capabilities. We used to think they only had 50 Intercontinental*, but in the last exercise, they announced that they had 160 Intercontinental*. The outside world thinks that the Nine Shadows are bluffing, but I think the actual number of them is even higher.

Mr. President, you must think clearly that when you activate the nuclear weapons system, you provoke a war between two great powers. Jiuyou will definitely take nuclear counterattack measures, or in an hour, we in the United States will also face a nuclear strike. I'm confident that I'll intercept 90 percent of them*, but every remaining nuclear bomb that falls on American soil is something we can't afford to lose. Washington will inevitably be their primary target. ”

As soon as General Gerald finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. The military and political officials present were silent, and the focus was on President Mark.

What people didn't expect was that in such a tense atmosphere, a smile appeared on the corner of President Mark's mouth, "Then what are we waiting for? After the nuclear * launch, we immediately transferred to the underground command center. If this place is bombed, maybe the next president of the United States will be the current Secretary of Labor. ”

The U.S. Secretary of Labor is the twelfth in line to the presidency of the United States, and the first eleven heirs are in the White House or Washington, D.C., while the Secretary of Labor is in New York at the moment due to official duties. If Washington is destroyed by a nuclear bomb, the first thing the United States will do is to find a presidential successor and lead the three armed forces to continue the war.

It was a joke from Mark, but no one in the room could laugh out.

General Gerard spoke up again: "In view of the upcoming military operation that Mr. President, I do not think it is a good option to hide in the underground anti-nuclear command center. I believe that in the face of such an offensive, Jiuyou will launch an extraordinary attack on the United States in disregard of the transcendent treaty. Hiding in the underground command center is like a turtle in an urn, and they will always break through there. ”

"Oh, which secret base do you think we should move to?"

"I suggest we move to Air Force One, which is the 'White House in the sky,' and if Jiuyou launches a counteroffensive, it will not be safe anywhere on land. ”

"Well, that's a good suggestion. General Gerald, you have studied the Nine Shadows for many years, and you know the Nine Shadows best, tell me, is their military power more threatening, or their transcendent threat is greater. ”

Gerald thought for a moment and replied, "The military strength of the Nine Shadows is not as good as ours, but it can still cause us great damage. As for their extraordinary strength, over the years, the Nine Shadows Sword and Shield have been too low-key, and I can't see through it, their strength on the surface is no longer weaker than our independent regiment. However, the threat of the Nine Shadows Sword and Shield is still inferior to the military strength of the Nine Shadows, because the extraordinary destructive power is not as good as the nuclear bomb, and there are many weapons against the Extraordinary now, so we just need to prevent it from being assassinated. ”

"So be it, we'll be on Air Force One right now. ”

***

Twenty minutes later, over Washington, a modified blue and white Boeing 747 with the American flag climbed high into the air, escorted by two warplanes to its left and right.

With an air tanker, Air Force One can fly in the air for days without landing.

A large area of the cabin has been converted into an operational command center. It's still the same group of people as before, General Gerald looked at the black suitcase that President Mark had opened in front of him and said, "After you give the order, the system will be activated in a minute, and before that, I need to confirm your identity first." ”

Mark handed over the identification card, "Count the fourth line from top to bottom." ”

Gerald took the card, swiped it over the card reader in the black box, and pressed the fourth line of numbers on the identification card on the keypad inside the box.

The identity verification passed, and Gerald continued: "Now do the double confirmation. ”

At this time, Secretary of State Logan on the side said to Mark: "Mr. President, according to the procedure, I need to confirm to you again, whether to order the attack?"

"I'm sure!" Mark's tone was a little excited.

Logan's eyes flashed green, and he also handed out a card to Gerald, "The seventh line of numbers from top to bottom." ”

Gerald swiped the card again to press the numbers, and the Secretary of State identity verification was also passed.

"The nuclear weapons system is being activated, may God bless us. ”
