"The Global Missile Defense System initiates a first-level response. ”

"The space-based infrared warning system reports that ten UFOs are coming towards Australia from southern Australia, the UFOs are at an altitude of 100 kilometers and a speed of Mach 11, and they are expected to arrive in 21 minutes, X-band radar tracking is normal, and the orbit number is being calculated!"

"The trajectory of the UFO has been solved, and it has been preliminarily identified as a long-range ballistic missile warhead, and target matching is underway. ”

"The target matching is complete, and the targets of these ten missile warheads are Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Darwin Military Port!"

The atmosphere in the underground base of Cheyenne Mountain of the North American Air Defense Command was solemn, and various battle orders sounded one after another.

Colonel Bruce, who is the commander-in-chief of the combat duty of the North American Air Defense Command, said to one of the radar monitors with a large pipe in his mouth: "Can you determine the location of the target attack?"

The monitor said: "Report, preliminary...... The preliminary solution results have come out, and the coordinates are ......"

The monitor seemed hesitant.

"What are the coordinates, hurry up!" Colonel Bruce had sweat on his forehead, and it was obvious that the colonel, who had served in the army for more than thirty years, was not as calm as he appeared.

"The coordinates are ...... The coordinates are the South Pole!"

"It can't be!"

"But this is the result of the number jù solution, and I have calculated it several times. ”

Colonel Bruce thought for a moment and asked, "Does the space-based infrared early warning system have a number of missiles in the take-off stage?"

"Report, no. The ten warheads appeared as if out of thin air. ”

"Could that be a false positive from the system?"

"No, the X-band radar has confirmed the presence of these ten targets, and the orbits coincide with the information provided by the infrared early warning system. ”

The U.S. space-based infrared missile warning system consists of a satellite constellation, while the X-band radar belongs to a ground-based radar network.

“Shit！”

Colonel Bruce slammed his military cap on the table and said, "Contact the Pentagon immediately and report the latest situation, in addition." Missile warning information was issued to the Australian Defence Force. ”

"Yes!"

……

A minute later. US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, who was attending the monthly meeting of the Department of Defense at the Pentagon, hurriedly ended the meeting and led his aides straight to the underground command center of the Department of Defense.

At the same time, US President O'Guanhai, who received the news, also urgently ended a foreign affairs activity and rushed back to Washington by helicopter.

And this time. Several of Australia's major cities have become a mess.

Piercing air raid sirens sounded over the city. Many residents were woken up by the sound of sirens. People who have been in peace for a long time have no idea what is going on, and some have even called the police station to complain about the noise nuisance.

Soon, however, major telecommunications companies were sending SMS messages to all residents on behalf of the government. He said that Australia was about to be hit by an air raid and asked everyone to immediately find a place to hide.

Australia is vast and sparsely populated, with a population of only 20 million, and in addition, it occupies a continent alone, there is no clear threat in the surrounding area, it does not have a comprehensive urban air defense system at all, and the common people have not received a complete civil air defense education.

Many people are running to the streets, looking for areas where they can hide.

There are also people who take advantage of the chaos to rob shops and even storm police stations.

By this time, the Australian government had completely lost control of the situation.

In fact, not long after the 10 long-range missile warheads were confirmed, the first female Prime Minister in Australian history, Ms. Gillard, was urgently awakened, and then rushed to the underground command center of the Homeland Defense Command in Canberra surrounded by everyone in the Prime Minister's Office.

There, Girard met with Defense Secretary John Faulkner, who had also arrived in a hurry.

"Mr. Faulkner, can you tell me what the hell is going on?"

The flight trajectories of 10 unidentified warheads have been established on the large screen in the command center, three of which are aimed at Canberra, and the countdown is displayed as three minutes and 29 seconds.

John Faulkner smiled bitterly: "Ms. Girard, I have just arrived here, and according to the number of missiles sent by the Americans, it is very likely that these ten missiles carry nuclear warheads......"

Girard's body shook and he almost fainted, although the underground command center has nuclear, biological and chemical protection capabilities, but if these major cities are attacked at the same time, then what is left of Australia?

Girard couldn't help but murmur, "Who? Who is going to attack us? China, Russia, India?"

The people in the command center looked at each other, and no one answered.

Girard seemed to sense that the atmosphere was wrong, and wondered: "Could it be France?...... United Kingdom?...... America?"

There are only a few countries with long-range ICBMs, and there is always one who is the culprit.

Secretary of Defense Faulkner saw that the Prime Minister had a tendency to guess more and more outrageous, and hurriedly said: "The message given by the Americans is...... These missiles came from the South Pole. ”

"South Pole? ”

Everyone present was silent, no matter who the enemy was, but the missiles were always real.

Before Girard could say anything, the monitoring personnel at the command center said: "The first targets are about to enter the re-entry segment, the Patriot radar system has intercepted the targets, and the missile system is ready for launch." ”

Although Australia does not have a complete underground air defense system, it has also purchased a lot of American "Patriot 3" air defense and anti-missile systems.

At this time, we can only pin our hopes on these expensive weapon systems.

"Yes, we still have patriots, we still have hope. ”

Girard cried out as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and many senior Australian government officials at the scene also showed hope.

Only Secretary of Defense John Faulkner secretly shook his head, he is in charge of the military and has some understanding of weapons systems, maybe the "Patriot" 3 is not bad for dealing with short-range ballistic missiles, but it will be very difficult to deal with medium- and long-range or even intercontinental missiles, otherwise what will the Americans do with spending huge sums of money to develop a mid-course interception system.

John Faulkner even secretly regretted that if he had known this, why didn't Australia spend a huge amount of money to introduce American Aegis warships, the latest Burke-class guided missile destroyers are equipped with the Standard-3 (SM-3) missile system with extra-atmospheric interception capabilities, if there is this, maybe there is hope.

But no matter what, Patriot 3 always has to give it a try.

"Target One is locked, 100,000 feet in height, Mach 9 in speed, 25 miles away, missile ready to launch!"

"Target No. 2 locked, launch!"

"Target Three, launch!"

……

At the Patriot 3 missile position on the outskirts of Canberra, more than 20 flames pierced the night sky before dawn with the hopes of all Australians. (To be continued......)
