With the order of the Royer Counter-Terrorism Center Command, dozens of helicopter gunships flew straight to the Merowe Dam, and no one wanted to taste the taste of more than 10 billion cubic meters of stored water sweeping over the land. Once this more destructive flood appears, it can inundate tens of thousands of square kilometers of land in an instant, and every one of them will be razed to the ground under the impact.

The countries that felt that they had already seized the initiative did not expect that they had not found bin Laden, not to mention, that such a thing would have happened, and that if the Merowe Dam had really been armed and controlled, and that there would be more than ten tons of high explosives, it would be all over.

If it weren't for the fact that the dam had been blown up, not to mention the civilians, and everyone in the entire counter-terrorism center, would not have had time to escape. In the end, it was the air forces that were spared.

This also leads to the fact that the command of the counter-terrorism center has to be transferred immediately, and no one is willing to take such a risk, not to mention that once the worst happens, it is not something that can be controlled by manpower.

Naturally, Panetta had no problem with this, and as the troops began to rush towards the Merowe Dam, the staff of the counter-terrorism center began to move.

The headquarters of the anti-terrorist center was originally set up in a temporary station on the outskirts of Royer City, and after receiving the order, the transport helicopters that were urgently dispatched rushed to arrive, and at the same time, the peacekeeping forces of various countries responsible for peripheral security also received the order to withdraw from the area as soon as possible.

However, while this was proceeding in an orderly manner, the retreating Counter-Terrorism Center Command received a report from the Merowe Dam, and the troops who went to the dam took control of the dam unusually smoothly, and also found the dam staff and defenders on duty. As a result, they were all just stunned and locked up in a small room.

The troops who took control of the dam also carried out a comprehensive inspection of the dam. It was normal to find a qiē, and the attacker was not found at all. No explosive reactions were found.

This made everyone in the counter-terrorism center breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, their hearts were full of doubts.

Panetta, who was about to board the helicopter and leave, also stopped, and took a detailed report from where the dam had come from, along with the confessions of the stunned dam workers.

"The attack is certain, but who did it? What's the purpose of making a play? However, as soon as Panetta finished saying this, the assistant ran over in a panic and reported: "Answer the latest report from the Meroway Dam, they are 150 meters underwater on the inside of the dam. A large number of underwater timed explosive devices were discovered. And it was less than ten minutes before the explosion. ”

"What?" Everyone who had just breathed a sigh of relief was nervous again, and in this tension, there was a little more panic.

How could Panetta accept such an oolong report and ask, "What the hell is going on?" How could there be such an inconsistent report. ”

"According to the report from the dam side, they did not find any explosives underwater with their instruments, and in the end, two guards who originally belonged to the dam said that they saw the attackers coming out of the water. We sent our soldiers to dive in and found that the reservoir was almost below the bottom. A large number of explosive devices were attached to the inner side of the dam, most of which were placed directly around the dam's valves, and the amount of these explosives was judged by their size. Already more than ten tons, it is completely possible to cause huge damage to the structure of the dam. And the countdown to every explosive device. All are calculated independently, and there are fifteen countdown detonators in total. At present, the bomb disposal unit has begun diving to prepare for the dismantling of these detonating devices. Most of the explosions are eliminated as much as possible, preventing complete damage to the entire structure of the dam. ”

Hear a detailed debriefing from your assistant. Panetta also knew the urgency of the matter, and immediately asked, "Does the Sudanese government know about this?" ”

"I already know."

"It's only been ten minutes, and no one can hide at all, whether the Sudanese government has announced this news to the people." Panetta doesn't want the current Sudan to be in turmoil.

"The Sudanese government has kept the matter a secret, however the top levels of the government have begun to evacuate urgently."

"It's good that the news doesn't spread, I'm afraid that the matter will cause a nationwide panic in Sudan, and then it will be out of control." Panetta shook her head and said, "Order the bomb disposal unit, the threat is already cleared." ”

But just as Panetta finished speaking, an agent who hurried over reported to him: "The Merowe Dam has sent another message, our bomb disposal personnel have lost contact under the water, and there is an ambush with harpoon javelins under the reservoir, and they have spared the personnel who went down to inspect for the first time, and they have ambushed and shot the soldiers who are about to defuse the bombs." At the moment, the underwater situation is not obvious. ”

"Bastard!" Panetta looked at the time and immediately ordered: "Immediately clear the threat, and then send the bomb disposal team down, this time the safety of the bomb disposal personnel must be guaranteed." ”

However, Panetta's mood was destined to not calm down, and just after the crisis of the dam appeared, the broadcasting system and broadcasting system of Sudan's national television were hacked. Immediately afterward, bin Laden's figure appeared in the eyes of the Sudanese people.

This time bin Laden said only one simple sentence: "I have planted fifteen tons of high explosives at the Merowe Dam." At this point, bin Laden also pointed to an extra countdown behind him, and continued: "You only have ten minutes to say goodbye to your family, and after ten minutes, the explosives will explode at the same time." ”

Finally, he also emphasized: "Your government and the state and society have deceived you, and they are here to hunt me down with great fanfare, but unfortunately, this qiē will be completely washed away under the flood, including your life." If you want to blame, blame the white people, who brought you death, and your life is only a sacrifice. Perhaps, your current leader, is ready to flee. ”

When the Sudanese side once again took control of the television and radio, this short speech and video had already spread throughout the Sudan, and although the media and information resources in Sudan were still very backward, there were still broadcasts in most places.

And many people also have mobile phones, and this time it was not only the TV station that was invaded, but also the Internet and mobile phones, all kinds of text messages and videos, almost instantaneously spread throughout Sudan.

Even many of the agents who used Sudan's mobile phones to communicate were the first to receive the news, but when they tried to track down the source, they did not find any source point, and the messages and videos they received seemed to have been stored on their phones from the beginning.

And when Panetta heard this report, layers of sweat overflowed from his head, bin Laden's hand was completely beyond his imagination, and his worst fears finally appeared.

Although Sudanese officials responded quickly, they did not dare to deny this fact, but promised that they would give everyone an explanation.

However, in just ten minutes, when the government's ambiguous attitude spread across the country, instead of reassuring the people, it only deepened the panic. Especially in those cities downstream of the Merowe Dam, in a matter of minutes, the city was in chaos.

At the moment, they didn't blame anyone for bringing danger to them, all their thoughts were to escape from this place.

"The only thing that can save the situation now is to defuse the bomb and set off for the Merowe Dam." Panetta is well aware that in this case, once the Merowe Dam is destroyed, it will affect the lives of millions of people, and even if he dodges his life, he will not be able to account for it to the world. All sorts of accusations and saliva, will drown him.

As soon as the helicopter began to take off, and after the sense of gravity, Panetta explained to his assistant: "To keep the communication with the Merowe Dam, I need to know the real-time situation and all the details." ”

At the same time, the entire reservoir above the Meroway Dam has been flooded with a large number of helicopters, and various sonar and underwater electronic detection equipment have been thrown into the water.

The bomb disposal personnel who had just died had not yet been recovered, and the second group of bomb disposal units, under the escort, also began to carry out deep dives and bomb disposal.

Normally, 150 meters underwater can disable many ordinary electronic devices, but the countdown to those explosions that continue to beat without the slightest pause, and the water pressure does not affect at all.

And the explosives that are all over the dam are placed under every outlet of the dam, which is the weakest point of the entire dam. It's not terrible to explode in one place, but if all the explosives explode, the entire dam structure will form a linear zone of damage.

When the time comes, there will be no need for a second blasting, and the strong water pressure will be the last force to crush the dam. At this moment, all the dam outlets have begun to release water, as if they want to reduce the pressure of the water flow a little before the explosion.

However, everyone understands that this is just a drop in the bucket, and once the water flows down the hundreds of meters high, the water that can be unloaded in just ten minutes will not be able to do much of a difference.

At present, all hopes are pinned on the second group of underwater bomb disposal personnel, in the opinion of everyone, as long as half of the explosive devices can be dismantled, then even if the remaining half is detonated, relying on the sturdiness of the dam itself, the crisis can be resolved.

However, there are less than five minutes left to determine whether the bomb disposal crews will be able to successfully defuse these unknown explosive devices at a depth of 150 meters, without any support or equipment under water. Not to mention the presence of enemies underwater, it will also have a huge impact on the bomb disposal work.

In this regard, everyone also held their breath. Life and death are in the last five minutes. (To be continued......)
