Chapter 731: Intercepting Nuclear Weapons
The reason why General Jerome said that the president should be consulted was because the president alone had the authority to launch nuclear weapons. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
If you pay more attention, you will find that wherever the president of the United States goes, there is always an officer in a black suit carrying a black suitcase, which is known as the "nuclear button". The "nuclear button" is generally believed to be a red button similar to a doorbell, and the president only needs to press it lightly to launch a nuclear missile, but this is not the case. The "nuclear button" is simply a special communication device that can give the command of a nuclear attack.
Perhaps some of you have heard of the term "nuclear suitcase". Foreign correspondents from the former Soviet Union happened to see a photo of the president of the United States and an officer standing beside him carrying a leather suitcase in the American media. Politically apt and technically justified.
Of course, Russian President Vladimir Putin also has an officer with a suitcase with him.
In fact, most of the leaders of nuclear-armed countries have a suitcase by their side, which has become a weapon for home travel and visiting other countries!!
My heart said, have you seen the "nuclear suitcase"? Our country has nuclear weapons, so I asked you if you are afraid?
When it is necessary to launch a nuclear weapon, the president needs to open the "nuclear suitcase" and enter the relevant password, issue an order, and then convert the password into a special communication frequency, which is transmitted to the central command post of the various arms of the armed forces possessing strategic nuclear weapons, and then to the troops on strategic duty, and finally to each launch pad, including missile bases, nuclear submarines, and strategic bombers. Commanders at all levels immediately check the code in their custody after receiving the instruction on the code for launching a nuclear missile. Each commander and his deputy each held half of the code, and after combining it, they checked it with the code sent by the Supreme Command, and after confirming that it was correct, they took out the keys stored on each of them and activated the firing device.
The White House, USA.
President Barack Obama has opened the "nuclear suitcase" at this moment, and inside it is like a small computer, with a keyboard and a screen......
"The Williams Empire was reckless, arbitrarily waging wars and invading other countries. Today, the United States will uphold justice for those countries that have been invaded, and after deliberation among the minds of the eight countries, they have unanimously decided to use nuclear weapons against the Williams Empire!!" Obama said loudly and righteously.
Immediately, he entered the code and gave orders for the launch of multiple nuclear weapons, totaling 35 nuclear warheads!!
Target 1: All Super Arsenals on the Arabian Peninsula!
Target 2: Iraq, the front line of the Williams Imperial Army!
Goal 3: Super Saucer Base!
The United States has launched nuclear weapons and missiles, how can the Williams empire not know?
When Henry received this news, his face was full of anger and roared: "Intercept the nuclear missile immediately!!"
In fact, without Henry's order, the Ministry of Defense is already trying to intercept nuclear missiles!
Generally speaking, there are four ways to launch a nuclear bomb: 1. Silo launch, 2. Submarine launch, 3. Motor vehicle launch, 4. Airdrop.
In World War II, the United States dispatched B-29 bombers to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but this method is unlikely to appear on today's battlefield, because the possibility of being intercepted is high, the risk is high, and the aircraft sent is also a one-time mission. At present, the more common launch methods are basically silo launch and submarine launch, especially the submarine launch is more secretive and maneuverable, so the threat is the highest.
Since the Williams empire chose to go to war with the United States, it would naturally consider the possibility of the other side launching nuclear missiles.
At present, advanced countries are equipped with radioactive material detectors and powerful radar early warning capabilities, and once nuclear weapons and missiles are launched, they can be clearly detected. At present, there are three main ways for the Williams Empire to intercept nuclear weapons and missiles, one is anti-ballistic missile weapons, the other is electromagnetic pulse weapons (microwave weapons), and the third is space-based weapons!
Each of them cannot be guaranteed to be 100%, but the combination of the three makes the success rate of intercepting nuclear weapons missiles still very high!
Henry was really angry this time, and the United States actually launched 35 nuclear bombs at once, obviously trying to put the Williams Empire to death! The most infuriating thing is that more than two-thirds of the nuclear weapons and missiles were actually aimed at the Williams Empire itself, and once the nuclear weapons exploded, not only the super arsenal would be gone, but even the people in the nearby cities would probably not be spared!!
This trick of the United States is simply too vicious!
And at this moment, the countries of the world have been shocked!
The United States launched so many nuclear missiles at once, which is obviously serious, and the rise of the Williams empire seriously threatens the position of the United States. If it weren't for the fact that the United States still has nuclear weapons as a deterrent, I'm afraid the whole world would have to admit that the Williams Empire is the most powerful country in the world!
Before people could come to their senses, France also launched 5 nuclear missiles!
When Henry heard the news, he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh: "It's fun to launch a nuclear missile, isn't it? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu can build a nuclear weapon !! in a month."
The Williams Empire has always adhered to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and does not yet have a single nuclear warhead, but it is absolutely capable of producing one. The third-generation nuclear power plant built by the Williams Empire is the most advanced in the world, and it is easy for the Williams Empire to have nuclear weapons!!
At the moment, Henry didn't care too much about it, and decided to let the Williams empire produce nuclear weapons, and at the same time thought with hatred in his heart, the other side has used nuclear weapons, how can Lao Tzu be submissive and bullied by you? The essence of the "Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty" is actually an unequal treaty, and what nuclear weapons are too harmful and damaging to the environment are purely an excuse, why don't we see the United States destroying nuclear warheads, but instead testing and developing even more powerful nuclear weapons? Hehe, in the final analysis, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty There is only one purpose, that is, the nuclear-weapon states restrict the non-nuclear-weapon states from developing nuclear weapons, so as to maintain their own super-supremacy as nuclear states!!
Not to mention, the critical juncture now is to intercept nuclear missiles.
Henry sneered and stared at the picture on the LCD screen, only to see that the nuclear missile was suddenly hit by a huge laser during the flight, however, the laser attack did not reach the detonation conditions inside the nuclear missile missile, so the nuclear missile did not explode, but it was scrapped, and finally fell towards the sea.
"It's true that the Williams Empire didn't make nuclear weapons, but we worked hard to develop space-based weapons specifically designed to counter nuclear missiles!! see if your missiles are fast, or if my lasers are fast?!!"
As soon as Henry's words fell, in less than 1 minute, all the nuclear weapons and missiles were destroyed in the process of lift-off, and none of them were spared!
"Hmph, now...... It's time to shoot back!! Henry's eyes were cold, and he ordered, "Order the space-based weapon to lock on to the launch position of the 40 nuclear weapons, immediately store energy, and launch a devastating laser !!"
"Yes!!"
