On the afternoon of February 17, Eastern time, in a valley in Alaska, the soldiers of the 91st Security Force of the United States were constantly busy.

Two soldiers in radiation suits are placing a nuclear bomb, the size of an ordinary artillery shell, on the base of an underground pit. There are also two soldiers in the pit examining various instruments and cameras arranged in the pit.

"Report to the captain, the review is complete, and all the equipment is normal. A soldier reported to the major, who was watching them after planting the bomb.

"Very well, get out of the experimental area and seal the hole. ”

The four soldiers withdrew from the pit one after another, and the major probed outside the door to inspect the pit for another week, and then pressed a red button outside the door, and a steel door with a full two meters back "rumbled" out of the stone wall on one side. Two minutes later, the entrance to the cave was completely sealed by an iron door.

The four soldiers turned a U-shaped road and drove an iron gate to seal the alleyway. This was done four times in a row, and only then did the four of them begin to take off their bulky radiation suits.

A soldier said as he took off:

"Captain, I've heard them say that the Carl Vinson surrendered to the Arrow Wolf mercenaries yesterday. And this morning, the Reagan followed in their footsteps. Could our sudden nuclear explosion test have anything to do with this? ”

"Lieutenant, you should know something, don't ask. "The Major had taken off his helmet, and he was a black man in his forties, with a shaved scalp.

"Why do I feel weird, we're not going to use nuclear bombs, do I? I remember that Donilon was killed by the Arrow Wolf mercenaries because of his talk about using nuclear bombs. No one is going to use a nuclear bomb regardless of life or death, is there?"

The lieutenant was a white man, in his thirties. He ignored the black major's warning and continued to talk to himself.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, we don't understand these militaristic events. Don't let the Judge Advocate General's Office get us in trouble. ”

Another soldier said that he was also a lieutenant.

In this base, except for the big head soldiers who carry out guard duties on the periphery. The soldiers who can enter the core area are all at the rank of captain or above. Some of the menial work is also done by them.

"The news of the surrender of those two carrier battle groups to the Arrow Wolf mercenaries should be true, and I heard about it from Colonel Jones. The submarine of the Arrow Wolf is powerful. The Navy's equipment simply cannot detect them, and we cannot intercept their submarine-launched missiles. Soldiers cannot be sacrificed for nothing. I caused them to do it, and the families of these soldiers will be grateful to the Pentagon. ”

Said the second lieutenant, who finally took off his radiation suit. The three white lieutenants did not take the black major seriously at all, and said without scruples, believing that this happened often, and after the black major had warned them once, he did not speak.

"Something big is going to happen! Don't you see the news media keep silent? When the public knows that we have two aircraft carrier battle groups that have surrendered without a fight, they still don't know how to mess up. The lieutenant continued.

At this time. The black colonel had already put away the radiation protection and was the first to walk out of the alleyway.

"If it weren't for the barracks, I would have broken his leg. The lieutenant looked at the black major, who had walked five or six paces away, spat on the ground, and whispered. The other two didn't answer his words.

There is a secret nuclear test site, which is located 800 meters below sea level, and if you add in the rolling mountains, the rock and soil above this test site are more than 1,500 meters thick. There are two other similar tunnels in this mountainous area, both of which were dug before the introduction of the United Nations Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and have been abandoned for more than a decade.

Ten kilometers from the nuclear explosion site, in an old two-story reinforced concrete building. Major General Auston, commander of the Alaska base of the United States Strategic Forces, is on a video call with the Department of Defense.

"Mr. Leon, the preparations here are almost complete, and the experiment can begin at any time? We are waiting for instructions from the Pentagon. ”

Minister Leon on the big screen looked at the moto360 smartwatch in his hand.

"General Auston. The nuclear detonation took place five minutes later. This nuclear explosion is very important, and you have to make sure that there are no surprises, because it is related to the future and destiny of Millican. ”

"Rest assured, Mr. Minister, that both nuclear explosion sites have been carefully inspected by us to ensure that there will be no accidents. ”

Major General Alston issued a military order to Leon.

Leon just smiled slightly, and didn't explain to Auston that the accident he was referring to and the accident that Auston knew were two different things.

This nuclear explosion experiment may not be completed. Leon would not think that the commander of the Aerospace Forces of China was talking about it and had no purpose. He already believed that China had the ability to suppress nuclear explosions. But he didn't want to do it. He hoped that the nuclear test would explode as scheduled.

The surprise he said was not to make the corner of the world make a wrong judgment for other technical reasons.

The nuclear tests were carried out by two small nuclear bombs weighing fifty kilograms. 11,000 tonnes of TNT equivalent. This is also the smallest Chinese tactical nuclear bomb that the United States can make, compared to the small nuclear bomb of the Arrow Wolf mercenary in the intelligence video. The technology of the United States is still far behind.

“,,zero。 ”

After the countdown was over, Major General Alston personally pressed the detonation button. More than 100 pairs of eyes were glued to the two nuclear bombs on the big screen.

Time seemed to stand still, and the sound of his heartbeat could be stopped in the command hall of the University, and a second passed, the earth did not shake, and two seconds passed, and the two nuclear bombs displayed on the big screen were still erected on the pedestal of the crater.

Beads of sweat ran down Major General Auston's forehead.

"Check, check now, what the hell is going on?" Alston looked mad as he roared hysterically at his men.

"Major General Auston, please report back on your situation there. ”

Minister Leon's face on the other big screen did not show surprise, but seemed to be relieved. He had a clear view of what was going on in the command hall of the experimental base, but he still had to listen to Auston's own report.

In the Pentagon conference room, all the members of the National Security Council of the United States hidden behind the screen have all looked like ashes.

"Mr. Minister, there were accidents with the two experimental nuclear bombs, they did not detonate, and the information fed back by the experimental food showed that the detonation procedure had been completed inside the nuclear bomb. But they did not fission. ”

Auston said dejectedly. This accident was a huge blow to him, and he had a hunch that his career was coming to an end...... (To be continued)
