Careful Thoughts under the 1105 Tribulation (3)
Not far from the 1024 base, the American soldiers who were responsible for supporting the Broken Arrow Force, they watched the two tail flames in the sky flying farther and farther, flying farther and farther, so the unicorn who could not participate in the battle, he quietly edited a message with the organization's mobile phone and sent it out, relaying the news that the militia three had been launched by the Saturday meeting, but the destination was unknown, and the lords of the organization were relayed.
At the same time, in the heart of the US military and in the Pentagon, the vice president, the secretary of defense, the speaker of the House of Representatives, and other leaders, as well as the most powerful people in the United States, all stayed in a conference room deep in the underground bunker, looking at the picture on the big screen in front of them, that is, the Minuteman-3 missiles that were still climbing one after the other and had not yet entered the horizontal flight attitude.
"Really, really launched!" said a party leader to himself, with a look of disbelief on his face: "The whole $8 billion security budget, but our missiles were actually stolen?
It's a pity that the people who are qualified to sit in this room now don't care about money or accountability, and seeing the militia three flying farther and farther, what they really care about is how to deal with the aftermath and how to minimize the impact and losses afterwards, and reduce them to an acceptable range.
"Is Global Strike Command online?" the vice president asked in a deep voice, glancing at the Secretary of Defense.
"Yes, sir, you can speak to them directly. A general next to him immediately replied.
"Lieutenant General Gerald, with the authority entrusted to me by the President of the United States and the State, I ask you to activate the self-destruction devices of these two Minuteman three-missile missiles and to raise the security level of all other land-based and nuclear weapons storage facilities in the United States by two levels. The Vice President commanded with great seriousness.
As soon as the vice president's voice fell, everyone present was stunned, and all eyes were fixed on the speakers on the table of the conference table, wanting to hear a good news from the Global Strike Command.
"Mr. Vice President, I have raised the security level of the nuclear weapons facility, and so far, we have not been subjected to similar attacks except for Base 1024. An old man's voice came from the speaker, and he was Lieutenant General Gerald, who directly controlled the nuclear weapons and nuclear strike platforms in the United States.
"Very well, then let's destroy the runaway missiles!" the vice president stressed again.
"I'm sorry sir, we have lost control of the three systems of the Minuteman and cannot give the command to self-destruct the missile. β
ββ¦β¦ Can you try to take back control of the missile?"
"Mr. Vice President, we have dozens of engineers and technicians here, and they have been working hard, but we are not completely sure whether they can break through the opponent's electronic defenses and regain control of the missiles before the militia hits the target three times. β
......As a result, the bigwigs sitting around the conference table gradually tightened their faces, and the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more depressing.
ββ¦β¦ Go ahead with your work, General, and report any situation immediately. After reluctantly ending the call with the Global Strike Command, the vice president, who had always behaved very calmly in front of people, suddenly waved his hand, "touched", and smashed his fist on the table, frightening the surrounding circle of people to be a spirit.
Perhaps after a little venting, the vice president finally regained a little calm, and then he looked up at the Minister of Defense again, and asked in a low voice: "Can you determine the coordinates of the attack of Militia 3 now?"
According to radar, the two missiles are gradually gaining speed from Mach 3 and heading eastward, passing through Atlanta, Charlotte, Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Boston, but we don't know exactly where they will fall. β
At this time, sitting next to the Minister of Defense, a middle-aged general looked at the laptop in front of him and replied.
"Damn it! These are important cities, especially Washington and New York, and they must not be lost. The Speaker of the House of Representatives instinctively jumped up when he heard this.
"I'm not going to let the militia fall into our own city. The vice president, with a hideous expression, said, and immediately confirmed to the secretary of defense: "Field, if we want to destroy these two missiles that are out of control now, what other methods and plans do you have?" β
"Our anti-missile system and Patriot missiles can intercept the Minuteman during the fall of the three times, in addition, we can also send fighter jets and use air-to-air missiles to try to destroy, otherwise we can also use satellite weapons to achieve the goal. Finally, Secretary of Defense Field replied in a veiled manner.
After the secretary of defense turns over all the hole cards in his hand, it will naturally be the vice president's turn to have a headache; the above methods can be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages, but if we want to take the method of destroying the militia three to deal with the aftermath, then we must first avoid the location of the big cities, and even avoid the territory of the United States, otherwise the militia three will explode, and those deadly radioactive fallouts will still fall slowly, resulting in endless troubles.
But the problem is that if the United States does it outside the United States, then the United States will have to bear unimaginable international pressure, and if the militia explodes in the airspace of Canada, Greenland, or any other country, and carries out extensive nuclear contamination, it will involve a huge amount of compensation afterwards.
In addition, the vice president can't ignore that although the United States is the most powerful country in the world, it still has several enemies, and if the militia flies to Russia, the mainland, Goryeo or Iran, then the consequences for the United States will not be a simple quagmire, but a real war!
As soon as he thought of this, the vice president felt that his throat was a little dry, and after he swallowed his spittle, he turned his head to look at the foreign minister and asked, "It's been two minutes since the accidental shooting, what is the international reaction?"
In addition, our satellites have also detected that the land-based missile silos of Russia and the mainland have opened their covers, and then some land-based missiles in Siberia and Shudi are already being pressurized and warmed, and at the same time, four countries have officially sent diplomatic notes to us, and there are still rumors in the United Nations that the United States is at war. β
The official in charge of foreign affairs and intelligence, who was next to the foreign minister, quickly glanced at his laptop a few times, and then announced one bad news after another, and everyone present was grim-faced and frowned.
"Hmph! It's all a bunch of brainless guys, if the United States really wants to go to war, how can it only launch two missiles...... As long as our missiles don't fall on their land, then they have no excuse to carry out a nuclear counterattack, so don't pay attention to these nervous guys. β
After saying it with a contemptuous attitude, the vice president looked at the defense minister again and said: "It seems that we can only destroy the missiles as soon as possible, where are they now?"
"Well, it's about to come to the confines of Kentucky. Defense Minister GΓ©rald replied.
ββ¦β¦ We can't wait any longer, just let the militia crash in the sparsely populated state of Kentucky!" After saying with a painful face, the vice president took off his glasses, lowered his head and hid his whole face under his arms, not wanting the group of people present to see his extremely decadent appearance.
Seeing this, the Minister of Defense quickly glanced at the other people at the table, and after seeing that no one objected, he immediately stretched out his hand and pressed the speaker on the table and ordered: "Turn on the hot eye and destroy the militia three during the flight." β
After receiving the personal authorization of the Secretary of Defense, several staff members in a secret room in the Pentagon's underground facilities moved quickly, so under their operation, a US satellite in low-earth orbit immediately began to adjust the angle of the solar panels.
In just over 10 seconds, as if a huge lotus flower was blooming in space, the titular communication satellite, its six-petaled panels were maximally unfolded, began to collect the sun's heat energy, and after continuous storage, it quietly aimed at the militia three intercontinental nuclear missiles that were flying horizontally outside the atmosphere.
At this moment, the vice president and others in the conference room had all stood up, gathered in front of the big screen in the conference room, and watched the video footage transferred from the space administration.
"Thermal ray emission countdown 30 seconds. In the desktop speaker behind everyone, the operator's voice was also heard at this time.
ββ¦β¦ 30γ29γ28β¦β¦β
When the satellite thermal energy rays displayed in the lower corner of the big screen kept filling the progress bar, the three giants who had quietly gathered together away from other officials, namely the vice president, the secretary of defense, and the speaker of the House of Representatives, the three of them communicated in very, very low voices in their throats.
"Where's the president?" the Speaker of the House of Representatives asked first.
In order to prevent the militia from attacking Washington, he had already taken Air Force One to the sky, and he should have flown to Detroit at this time, and if this matter was not over by a few hours, then he should have diverted to Seattle. The expressionless vice president replied.
"Such a huge mess, really have to rely on a few of us to deal with it? Then this big black cauldron is destined to be carried by a few of us afterwards?" Defense Minister Gerald, his eyes were looking at the screen, but his mouth was talking, and he honestly and naturally joined the conversation between the vice president and the speaker of the House of Representatives.
