353. The President instructed to blow up the plane
General MacArthur's face was gloomy, his thick eyebrows condensed into a rope, he groaned for a moment, and said, "Take the Black Palace immediately, I will report to the president!" ”
Because the stakes are extremely high, if the plane is really guided down by missiles now, the whole world will definitely cause an uproar, and maybe it may even cause a world war. The consequences were so serious that MacArthur, as the supreme commander of the military base, still did not dare to take matters into his own hands and had to report the matter to the president.
The phone was answered a moment later, and the familiar and somewhat apprehensive voice of the president came from within, apparently having just been woken up from sleep. General MacArthur held the microphone in his hand and hurriedly briefed the president on what was happening on the island. When the president heard this, his voice was shocked and angry, and after pondering for a while, he said, "I'll give you instructions in ten minutes!" ”
Many of the officers in the command were standing here, but they couldn't hear what the president was saying. Seeing that MacArthur had a gloomy face after hanging up the phone and had not spoken, the previous major general couldn't help it, so he asked, "Your Excellency, commander, what does Your Excellency the President say?" ”
MacArthur glared at the major general, but still said, "The president asked me to wait for his instructions!" ”
Hearing this, the major general didn't feel anxious, opened his mouth a few times, and finally said, "It's too late to wait!" Why hasn't the president given instructions yet? ”
Hearing the major general say this, MacArthur finally couldn't help but roar, and shouted at the major general with a blue face: "Bastard! Why hasn't the president given instructions yet, how do I know? You can ask the president directly about this matter, okay, and ask me what to do? If you have the ability, you can simply order the president to give orders! ”
None of the many generals had ever seen General MacArthur make such a big fire, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a while. In fact, this is not to blame General MacArthur, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame the major general for not being long-sighted and unable to observe words and feelings. The arsenal was bombed, the plane was bombed, the oil pipes were blown up, I don't know how many people died, and the hijacked passenger plane flew into the sky again; as the supreme commander of this military base, MacArthur naturally had an unshirkable responsibility, and if the Black House was held accountable, his commander would probably be removed.
MacArthur's mood had already been extremely bad, and when he reported to the president just now, of course he also heard the president's anger, and his mood was even worse, and he even had the heart to kill. And the major general, who was ignorant of current affairs, even asked him this, no wonder MacArthur was furious. The major general could not have imagined that MacArthur would be so angry, and in shock, how could he dare to say another word, and stood there with a red face and a thick neck, refusing to say a word again.
The headquarters was quite spacious, but everyone felt so oppressed that they couldn't breathe, and it was so dull that it almost suffocated. Fortunately, the long ten minutes finally passed, and the phone finally rang. MacArthur didn't wait for anyone else to hand over the phone, he grabbed the phone and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency the President, please instruct!" ”
The president's voice came from the earpiece: "Let the plane disappear completely!" ”
MacArthur exclaimed, "Please rest assured, President, promise to complete the mission!" ”
After MacArthur hung up the phone, he shouted to the people around him: "Convey my order to the submarine, let them launch missiles now, and make the plane disappear completely!" ”
Listening to MacArthur's words, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, but no one dared to say more. The Major in front of MacArthur tapped his fingers on the computer rapidly, typed the command after a few seconds, and then got up and said to MacArthur: "Your Excellency, Commander, please read the order!" Then send it in person! ”
MacArthur glanced at the command, then placed his palm over a palm print that appeared above the security monitor, and the two palm prints matched perfectly, and the command was issued.
Seeing that the command had been issued on the monitor, MacArthur's gaze turned to the huge wall of the display, where a virtual image of a submarine in the depths of the sea could be clearly seen. Under the gaze of everyone, I saw a submarine sailing at a speed of about 2 knots at a depth of 30 meters in the sea. After a while, the pressure-resistant shell in the middle of the submarine slowly opened, revealing the vertical launch canister inside.
Seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Because such launches have also been carried out many times in experiments, and although most of them have been successful, they are rarely used in real combat. It was the first time it had been used to attack a plane carrying more than 200 people.
General MacArthur, like the other generals, stared at the screen wall without blinking, knowing that in a few minutes, the missiles placed in the launch canisters would rush out of the ocean like dragons, fly to the surface, and then fly towards the airliner at several times the speed of sound.
Time passed by second by second, minute by minute as hard as a long month, and at last a few minutes passed like a day, but to the astonishment of all the leaders, there was no movement of the submarine. Just when MacArthur and the others were waiting impatiently, the submarine picture displayed on the screen wall suddenly shook and disappeared all at once. Just when everyone was extremely surprised, a line of flickering text appeared on the display, which translated: the submarine command system is out of order!!
Everyone was stunned when they saw such a line of text, because such a situation had never happened before. MacArthur remained calm in shock, and hurriedly shouted to the major: "Give orders to another submarine!" ”
The major quickly typed the order, and MacArthur's palm pressed on the palm on the display again, but to MacArthur's surprise, this time after his palm was pressed, the computer did not respond for a long time, and waited a few more seconds, and it was still like this.
MacArthur and the Major couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it. At this moment, someone from the computer operator sitting in front of the computer suddenly shouted: "Report, the computer program is out of order!" ”
As soon as one voice shouted, another followed suit: "Report, computer program is out of order!" ”
The sound was contagious, and then more voices rang out, and everyone had the same content: "Report, computer program is out of order!" ”
The colonel looked at the computer in front of him, only to see that the handprints that appeared on it suddenly disappeared, transforming into countless rapidly jumping numbers. The numbers are erratic, and those who look at them are dazzled and dizzy. When the major saw this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he cried out in a lost voice: "God, someone has invaded our chain of command!" ”
