302. Bifurcation point
Washington, White House. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Equally fearful of Borman was Palmer. Royce, the current president of the country.
Not long ago, the National Assembly of the country officially passed a temporary bill authorizing the president of the country to give full authority to issue orders for nuclear attacks if necessary, and no one else's confirmation is required. That is, Royce could theoretically attack any target on the planet with nuclear weapons at his own discretion, and he had the most incredible power in the world from the moment the bill was passed. But Royce knew very well in his heart that this power was not as tempting as it seemed, and that the essence of this power was nothing more than a manifestation of Congress's fear of the superhuman possessors, and that they needed someone to help them destroy those superhumans, and this person would naturally have to bear all the consequences.
Placing the Avatar Owners in a nearly abandoned town in the West isn't just about isolating them, it's about using nuclear weapons to wipe them out if necessary! This is the fork point plan.
The bifurcation plan is a plan that does not exist in some sense, it is known and discussed, but there is no text, video, audio, etc. Royce was not the leader of this plan, it was led by Lieutenant General Geld Sr., although his son was in the town at the moment, but he took the initiative to come up with the strike plan, and in his heart the importance of the country far outweighed his personal interests and family affection.
Royce didn't know if he should admire Lieutenant General Gerd Sr., and from a president's point of view, he expressed his sincere admiration, but from a father's point of view, Royce could not comment, but he eventually agreed to the plan.
Considering the abilities of the avatar owner, in order to fully guarantee the success rate of the strike, this time the strike will be carried out outside the planet. The specific implementation process was started by a Minuteman 3 ICBM, which was launched from an underground base 2,000 kilometers away from the town, entered orbit within three minutes, and entered the airspace where the attack target was located within 10 minutes, and then released three W-78 nuclear bombs with a yield of 300,000 tons, which will be detonated in the sky over the town at a speed of more than Mach 20.
With the current strength of the supernatural owners, they do not yet have the ability to monitor extra-atmospheric flying objects, and there is no possibility of intercepting nuclear weapons, so the success rate of this attack is more than 95% regardless of the group of assessments.
Although he knew why he was given almost unlimited power, Royce chose to do it in the end, because he was just as afraid, he was afraid of the possessors of the supernatural powers, and he couldn't trust any of those people, not even the assurances of the handsome. In contrast, destroying the enemy is more like a done thing.
As for the 5% uncertainty, it is mainly reflected in the goal of this mission, because it is required to completely eliminate the owner of the supernatural power, after all, the escape of any one person will cause extremely serious consequences, once the supernatural owner who escaped death chooses to take revenge, the kingdom of Jin must pay a great price. But in order to catch them all, someone must attract the attention of the owners of the supernatural powers to ensure that nothing happens, such as Snipes will not turn on the ability during the missile flight, or Cheng Peng, who can fly at hypersonic speed, and Huang Tianran, who can teleport himself, perceive the abnormality and use the ability to get out of the bombing area.
So it was necessary to attract their attention, and that was Borman's task.
"I can understand your fears, but the biggest obstacle between us is fear, and that fear can destroy everything and set us against each other." Gao Shuai looked at the old man opposite and said in a deep voice.
"But Mr. Gao, you can't deny that this fear is brought by you, and we are the victims." Borman said. Wrong, not ours. This is the subtext of Borman, and in a way, it is also true. Whether facing the possessor or observer, the ordinary humans of this world are victims.
"You're right, but we're also victims." Gao Shuai corrects Borman's mistakes.
"Does Mr. Gao's 'we' include Licht?" Borman asked rhetorically.
Licht, the mastermind of the destruction of the covenant, but he did not receive the punishment he deserved, but at this moment he still enjoyed all kinds of materials provided by the kingdom of Jin, and lived comfortably. In the eyes of many people, especially the people of the country, this is simply a shame!
"Not included." Gao Shuai's answer was very simple.
"Then why provide him with shelter?" Borman was puzzled. Not only is Borman puzzled, but many people in the world are also puzzled. Licht regarded Gao Shuai as an enemy and even wanted to kill him, and Gao Shuai did not let Licht have a reason to let him live so leisurely, let alone let him live so leisurely.
"Because we have a stronger enemy." Gao Shuai knew that many people didn't understand why he did it, but he had a reason to do it.
"Observer?" As Borman, who had followed the Battle of the Nexus at the White House with Mr. President, he knew the inside story better than most, something more terrible than Licht.
Observer, the name that came out of Licht's mouth hung over the minds of all who knew it like a nightmare, and if the possessors of supernatural powers were still invincible opponents, the power beyond human civilization was impossible to speculate.
But is Licht trustworthy?
This is an important question, but it is precisely those who choose not to believe Licht, whether out of hatred or fear, that the answer is all the more decisive.
"Yes, Observer." Gao Shuai gave an affirmative answer. Others may still be suspicious, but Gao Shuai knows very well that the observer does exist, and it is extremely powerful.
Borman's face changed dramatically!
Borman's expression changed all in Gao Shuai's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, obviously things were just as Licht had inferred.
Licht possessed computing power beyond human imagination, and this ability could be used in many ways, such as war game deduction. Licht can easily deduce the various reactions of the Golis to the possessors of supernatural powers, such as the question of whether the observer exists, but the final judgment of the Lither is obviously not, and they believe that the existence of the observer is only a lie of Licht, a threat. Otherwise Borman would not have reacted like this.
It is no exaggeration to say that whether there are observers who affect the fate of the entire human race, and if there are no observers, there is still confidence in victory for all countries, and the difference is more in how much it costs. But once the Observer does exist, the level of the war will change completely, and for the humans who are still trapped on Earth, the war with the Observer will not be possible to win from the beginning.
Now it seems clear that Licht's reasoning was correct, and at least the decision-makers in the country did not believe in the existence of observers, whether because of distrust of Licht or deep down by chance.
"You don't really want to take Licht from me, your real purpose is probably to destroy all the supernatural powers, including me. Let me guess, a nuclear bomb? This weapon is the only weapon that can reassure you. Gao Shuai didn't show too much anger, he was more helpless, because this was not what he wanted to see.
Borman no longer had the strength to pay attention to Gao Shuai's expression, his hands and feet were cold at the moment, as if he had gone from the hot west to the bitterly cold Alaska in an instant. As the executor of the bifurcation point plan, he knew that the missile had been lifted off at this moment, maybe in the next minute, three 300,000-ton nuclear bombs would be detonated above his head, Borman was not afraid of death, he was already very old, but the other party, Gao Shuai, that Shen Guoren obviously already knew his intentions and means of attack, which also showed that the other party already had a way to deal with it.
From the moment the missile was launched, the country of Yi completely declared war with the owner of the supernatural powers, but this is not the most terrifying, the most terrible thing is that not only can not eliminate the owner of the supernatural powers, but also because the observer really exists, and the misjudgment of the country is the biggest reliance on destroying the world against the observer with his own hands.
"Our fears destroy our hopes at our own hands." Borman muttered to himself, infinite remorse welling up in his heart.
Just as Borman lowered his head, Gao Shuai suddenly raised his head, his eyes seemed to be able to look through the roof of the bar, and at the same time, at a height of a thousand kilometers from the town, Minuteman 3 began to adjust his re-entry stance.
"Didn't you ask me why I wanted to harbor Licht?" Gao Shuai got up and walked out of the bar without looking back: "Follow me." ”
