"This disaster has consumed too much money, and the unsealing of the mothballed fleet is still in progress! Those Norfolk citizens who can't go home need to be resettled, and we haven't even salvaged all the nuclear equipment in Norfolk, and we definitely can't afford to carry out new weapons research and development now!" The Treasury Secretary only wants to resign now, but unfortunately his resignation has been vetoed by Trump many times, and he can only force himself to clean up this mess.

"Paul, go and sort out the weapons research and development projects that we are currently underway! Cut some projects that are not urgent, and use the funds to pay for this!" Trump can only tear down the east wall and make up the west wall now!

"Okay, Paul, don't insist any longer! We can't confront Hua Guo anymore! Lucia is enough of a headache for us! But I promise, when we recover from this accident, we will definitely give the Chinese people a tough response!" Trump stopped Air Force Admiral Selva from saying and began to discuss another important topic, "Now let's discuss how to deal with this Yan zhòng broken arrow accident!"

Broken Arrow is a series of terms used to describe nuclear incidents defined by the Ministry of National Defense of the United States, and the second-most severe nuclear accident refers to an accident involving nuclear weapons or nuclear weapon components that does not cause war. It includes: nuclear explosions, non-nuclear explosions or fires of nuclear weapons, radioactive contamination, air-dropped nuclear weapons or nuclear weapon components, a term that became widely known in the film of the same name starring John Trovolta.

The series also includes blunt swords, curved spears, brown giants, empty quivers, stray shuttles, and the most severe nuclear flash, with blunt swords referring to minor nuclear weapons accidents and nuclear component accidents referring to accidents that could prevent their deployment.

The spike is a nuclear reactor and radiation incident, but it does not lead to a nuclear war, and the Fukushima nuclear accident in the previous years belongs to this level if it is put into the United States; an empty quiver is a nuclear weapon or a nuclear weapon component that has been robbed, stolen or lost, and the stray shuttle dart is similar to it but more severe, which means that the nuclear weapon falls into the control of non-governmental organizations.

The most terrifying is the nuclear flash, when this code name appears, humanity is only one step away from extinction, which indicates the possible or real detonation of nuclear weapons, and the danger of triggering a nuclear war, including: accidental, unauthorized or unexplained nuclear explosion or possible nuclear explosion. Accidental or unauthorized launch of a nuclear missile or a nuclear-capable missile that flies in the direction of, or is likely to reach another, nuclear State. Unauthorized flights by nuclear-carrying warplanes or nuclear-capable warplanes or unauthorized changes to approved flight plans may result in the possibility of entering the airspace of another nuclear State. Threatening targets discovered by missile warning systems could trigger a nuclear war.

The accident at the Norfolk naval base was attributed to the Broken Arrow, and although it would not lead to a nuclear war and lead to the destruction of mankind, it still had the potential to wipe Norfolk off the map; the White House had been preparing for a long time to solve this hidden danger, and as time went on, nuclear weapons under the surface of Norfolk became less and less safe, so much so that other major countries and organizations in the world have called on the United States to solve the problem quickly.

"Nuclear weapons are the greatest threat to the peace of mankind! They could completely destroy mankind at any time! All nuclear-armed countries in the world should immediately destroy their nuclear weapons!" said a spokesman for a French environmental protection organization to reporters.

Didn't he know that if it weren't for nuclear weapons, Europe would have been bulldozed by the steel torrent of the Red Empire long ago! Although nuclear weapons pose a great threat to the survival of mankind, they have also avoided direct military conflicts between the major powers of the world, because they do not know whether their opponents will launch nuclear bombs when they lose hope of victory.

"The location of all the nuclear bombs below the surface of the water has been determined! They are safe at the moment, but we cannot guarantee that they will always be as safe as they should be! We must take them out and put them back where they should be stored in the near future, or destroy them directly!" Air Force Admiral Selva also calmed down, China will not necessarily start a war against the United States, but the threat of nuclear weapons is imminent.

"And those reactors are still emitting lethal rays, and we don't know what kind of effect they will have on nuclear weapons!" Ashton Carter reminded, "and it also poses a severe test for the crew who entered the area to salvage the nuclear warhead, think of the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, the neon people can only find the staff who are nearing the end of their lives to enter the radiation area, and we are not optimistic about this either!"

"And this salvage mission is much more difficult than solving the failure of the Fukushima nuclear power plant!" added Air Admiral Selva, "The crew needs to dive underwater, cut the nuclear submarine open, and then take the nuclear weapons out of it! I think even if this accident can be solved, the amount of money spent on these workers to solve the residual illness after the radiation will be a very terrible number, if they survive!"

"Can't you use a large ship to tow a nuclear submarine out of the water, tow it away from the radiation zone and cut it?" asked Richard Colby.

"No! First, the reactors of most of the nuclear submarines have also leaked out of different ways! We haul them there, and the radiation will be released wherever it goes, and if we don't want the nuclear radiation to continue to spread, we can only let them stay where they are! Second, the wreckage of those ships has completely blocked the shipping lanes of Norfolk Harbor, and large ships cannot get in!" replied Air Admiral Selva with a frown.

"Although we can use tugboats to gradually remove the wreckage from underwater, those workers are also subject to the effects of nuclear radiation! Millions of tons of steel are not so easy to remove!" "There is even more steel buried under the sea in Norfolk than most countries in the world produce in a year!

"If we were going to tow away the nuclear submarine with the radiation from the country, I'm afraid that the major cities of the United States would quickly gather in a long and endless procession! We will be impeached and removed from office immediately!" Trump added.

"So we're just going to have to salvage where we are now!" Air Admiral Selva stood up, "I'm going back to the Pentagon to make the final preparations! Those nuclear weapons can't allow us to wait any longer! We have to start acting right now!" )
