Chapter 0579 Security Meeting
Just six hours before the surrender of the USS Carl Vinson, Francis, the national security adviser of the United States and the special presidential envoy of the United States on a visit to China, returned to Washington with a gift from the Chinese government.
An hour later, President O'Dark Horse convened a national security meeting at the White House.
At the meeting, Francis made a report on his secret visit to China, and when he mentioned the "nuclear fission suppression device" of the Arrow Wolf mercenaries, the senior officials of the United States who had always maintained their composure at the meeting immediately became not calm.
Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta got up from the couch and pointed a trembling finger at the helmet-colored Francis.
"Mr. Francis, can you be sure that this device exists?"
Francis smiled bitterly and said to the emotional Leon: "Mr. Minister, I am not from an intelligence background, and I do not have the ability to accurately distinguish between true and false information obtained, but I have the most basic judgment ability.
I think the possibility of this thing existing is far greater than the possibility of fiction. If you want more explanation, why don't you ask Mr. David when he arrives?"
The David in Francis's mouth is CIA Director David Petraeus. As soon as Francis stepped off the plane, he handed over the information in his hands to a senior CIA officer. Now that more than four hours have passed, there should be a result for the work of the CIA.
Just when the senior officials of the United States who participated in the meeting were discussing the truth or falsehood of this information, David walked in with a thick material in his hand.
When all the high-ranking officials saw David's serious expression, they all closed their mouths in amusement. Francis felt a pang of sorrow in his heart, and it seemed that this information had been recognized by the CIA. From now on, the United States will embark on a road of no return.
Francis walked up to O'Dark Horse and handed him one of the documents. Then he found a place and sat down silently. Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Oheima, who opened the file and watched.
O'Dark Horse took a cursory look at the front part of the thick document, and skipped the large amount of technical analysis in the middle. Straight to the conclusion on the last page.
He just glanced at it, then closed the file heavily. He looked around at the high-ranking officials who looked at him, and said in a heavy tone:
"My colleagues, gentlemen, the intelligence that Mr. Francis has brought back has been confirmed by intelligence experts. We in the United States of America are on a precipice, in danger of extinction at any moment. Now is the time to use your ingenuity, and Millican needs your courage and wisdom. ”
He was silent for two seconds, sorted out his suppressed mood, and said in a soothing tone:
"Mr. David, tell me about it. ”
With that, he leaned heavily on the back of his chair and closed his little eyes.
David Petraeus opens the file that was placed on the table. Without any emotion in his voice, he said:
"Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen. After the CIA obtained this information, it organized experts from various fields to analyze the information.
Our conclusion is that there is a probability of more than 90% of the existence of the nuclear fission suppression device involved in this information, and its principle of action has also been affirmed by our nuclear physics experts, and there is a similar research topic in our No. 51 area. ……”
"Ours is just a research topic?"
Didn't wait for David to finish. General Martin, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, asked eagerly.
"Yes, Mr. Martin. Area 51 is only in the theoretical research stage, and although they have not yet found a medium to implement this theory, it does not mean that it cannot be realized. It is not impossible that the wolf mercenaries were the first to find a method that could be practically applied. ”
"Why only 90 percent. Instead of being sure," said Janet Napolitano, the Minister of Homeland Security.
"Ma'am. We only analyzed from the intelligence and did not see the real thing. ”
"So the remaining 10 percent, does that mean we haven't reached the point of despair yet?" White House Chief of Staff Jacob Lew said with a fluke.
Director David smiled wryly. Every high-ranking official here is clever and wise.
It has been nearly a hundred years since the United States dominated the world, and these officials and gentlemen have developed the habit of being high up and overlooking the world. However, today's sudden bad news has collectively lowered their IQ. Just wear it is that they don't want to admit this fact.
"No, things are not what Mr. Jacob says. The 90% probability is already a fact in the context of the situation. Unless there is a special accident. ”
David corrected.
"Actually, we don't have to go around in circles on this issue. When I left the capital of Huaguo, General Chen Yuxing, commander of the Huaguo Aerospace Force, said this. ”
Francis flipped open the document in front of him and read it as it was written:
"If you still have doubts, we can help clear them. I did this to save the planet from devastation, and especially to protect the great people of Milicon from nuclear bombs. ”
"What does Chen Yuxing mean by this?" asked Secretary of the Navy Ray Marbers, with confused eyes.
"That's right, he said, we can find a nuclear test site to conduct a nuclear explosion test, and he will send the aerospace planes of the Aerospace Forces to confirm the existence of this device. ”
"What? Huaguo also has such a device?" asked Admiral Martin in horror.
"I think that's how it should be. The smile on Francis's face can squeeze water.
Everyone was silent.
After a hurried knock on the door, a senior staff member of the National Security Council, with a rear admiral, walked in.
He gave a military salute to the members of the National Security Council who were present, and then said to O'Hema and Vice Admiral Archer Cummings, the Minister of the Navy:
"Mr. President, Mr. Minister. An hour earlier, the Third Fleet's USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier battle group had been ambushed by a submarine of the Arrow Wolf mercenary. The destroyer Gridley and the guided-missile cruiser Bunker Hill were hit by four missiles and sank an hour and five minutes ago.
The fleet was unable to discover the location of the submarine, they had given up resistance and were on their way back to base at full speed, and information provided by Fleet Commander Rear Admiral Perez and the Naval Operations Department indicated that the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier battle group would have a hard time getting away from the submarine's pursuit. Rear Admiral Perez asked for instructions on the next course of action for the fleet. ”
The entire membership of the National Security Council fell silent. (To be continued.) )u
