The destruction of small tactical drones did not affect the CIA mission, and before they were destroyed, they had already obtained the desired intelligence.

The three huge missiles that were ready to be launched were completely photographed by the drone, with short video footage and high-definition pictures as evidence, of course, the most important thing is that these intelligence were collected by the United States itself, not based on the information exposed by the news media.

Hagel quickly put together the very short video and images and submitted them to Obama.

It is all too clear that Somalia's chances of possessing a nuclear bomb have increased considerably.

But it was far from over, when Mr. Obama was thinking about the pictures and videos when the presidential secretary pushed the door open and handed him an urgent piece of information.

"This ......" opened the cowhide cover of the intelligence document, and there were a few big words "Two nuclear power plants have been discovered in Somalia", and the signed reporter below was the CIA intelligence chief - Michael. V. Hayden. When Obama opened the text, his face changed slightly.

"What's wrong, Mr. President?" Hagel didn't look at the contents of the document, and he couldn't help but ask Obama if he didn't see any signs of goodness on his face.

"Somalia has had two nuclear power plants for a long time, and in the past, all the towns under the Freedom Alliance were supplied with electricity by these two nuclear reactors." Obama shook his head.

"God, when were the two nuclear power plants built. There was no sign of anything before? Hagel's face also changed, and the United States had been puzzled before. Where is the power supply system of the Freedom Alliance, which was previously hit by a missile strike on Somalia. There are many missiles aimed at the location where there may be power plants. Unexpectedly, Somalia actually has two nuclear power plants.

Now, many of the doubts that used to be can be explained, but then there are many more problems. Li Lan, a mysterious guy, really made the United States super helpless, judging according to common sense, it turned out that it was very different from reality, and it was hard to find out a little secret, but it turned out to be discovered. There's more to it than that.

"This is high-secret intelligence sent by the CIA, and it was obtained after the loss of several informants. These photos were taken before the death of one of the intelligence officers. Obama also didn't believe that, but that's how it turned out.

"In that case, should the nuclear strike plan continue to be prepared?" Hagel is also aware of the crux of the situation, and if Somalia had had nuclear power plants really early, it would not be a strange thing to have nuclear weapons.

Uranium enrichment refers to the production of enriched uranium from natural uranium. If uranium is to be used in certain types of reactors and weapons, it must be enriched. This means that the concentration of fissile uranium-235 must be increased. It can then be made into fuel. The natural concentration of this isotope is 0.7%, while in most general-purpose commercial nuclear power plants, the concentration of the continuous chain reaction is typically around 3.5%. The abundance for weapons and ship propulsion is usually about 93%. But ship propulsion can be as abundant as 20% or less.

Earlier, the US military speculated that the reactor on the Somali nuclear submarine should have been supported by China or Russia a long time ago. The uranium enrichment of the above nuclear reaction should be below 20%. Now, things have fundamentally changed, and the US intelligence services in China and Russia can already confirm it. China and Russia have not provided much scientific and technological support to Somalia. With the exception of some civilian industrial equipment, no military technology has ever been found to be exported to Somalia.

Combine the Somali nuclear submarine and now these two nuclear power plants. Add to that the missile photos just obtained by the CIA, and the chances of Somalia having nuclear weapons are already over 90 percent. The remaining 10 per cent will need to be confirmed after a nuclear explosion in Somalia.

Ninety percent of the time, that's a certainty.

"What we want to know most at the moment is, what kind of performance do these three Somali missiles have?" Obama did not immediately answer Hagel's question, but asked about the performance data of the missile.

Fortunately, when Hagel came over, he listened to a simple external analysis by missile experts, and after Obama asked a question, he was able to quickly answer: "According to the analysis of the photo, the length of this missile is about 24 meters, and the diameter is nearly 2 meters." According to the analysis of the external structure, this is a three-stage booster missile, and according to the calculation that Somalia already has a ballistic missile with a range of about 3,000 kilometers with a single-stage booster, the range of this missile may exceed 10,000 kilometers. ”

Speaking of this, Hagel looked at the president and found that his face had not changed, so he continued: "According to the previous successful launch of three carrier rockets in a row by Somalia, Somalia already has the ability to attack from a long distance, and the load capacity of the launch vehicle possessed by Somalia is also very advanced, and it also has the skill of killing multiple stars with one stone. Therefore, according to the analysis, if these three missiles have been deployed in actual combat, then these three missiles do not rule out the technology of having multiple warheads. Because Somalia already has the most critical place for this technology, it is only a matter of time before it has long-range intercontinental missiles. And time, for our enemy, is as if it just doesn't exist. Therefore, we need to be more cautious. ”

Although Hagel has already emphasized in his words that these are nothing more than speculation, Obama has heard a hint of certainty. Somalia has taken the United States by surprise, and its predictions and estimates have not kept up with the pace of Somalia at all. This time, as soon as the Somali nuclear bomb appeared, many US experts simply overestimated Somalia's problems, lest it once again fail to end.

"Then what do you say Li Lan wants to do? Fight a nuclear war with us? Obama smiled bitterly that this war would be the biggest mistake of his life, just like the Vietnam War led by Kennedy and Johnson. Will history repeat itself again?

"Somalia already knows what our nuclear strike plan is. If war does break out, I'm afraid it won't be very strange. Hagel was also very irritable. No matter who you start a nuclear war with, the outcome will be extremely dangerous. North Korea, despite its possession of nuclear weapons. However, the United States does not pay attention to the DPRK's missile technology at all. But this is not the case in Somalia, a regime that is young but militarily powerful. As soon as military science and technology appeared, it shocked the whole world, and the starting point of science and technology was to start from the advanced level of the world. And such an enemy is the most elusive.

If the United States carries out a nuclear attack on Somalia, it will definitely usher in a nuclear retaliation from Somalia, compared to Somalia, which is still poor and white. If a nuclear war does break out, the United States will be the one who will suffer the most. It's like a beggar dying of starvation and the richest man in the world who eats and wears all day, two people with weapons in hand, aiming them at both heads, and then shooting at the same time. For a beggar, to die is to die, and to live anyway is to suffer, but the richest man in the world is different, and his daily life is like being in heaven. How to be willing to die. This is the biggest difference between the two, to put it simply, that is, barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes.

"An emergency meeting of the top leaders of the coalition forces will be convened immediately." Obama weighed it for a long time before he spoke.

Today's war situation. We are already facing a huge crisis and pressure, and it is important to consider the feelings of our allies. Obama is well aware, whether it's France or Italy. The sudden wave of terrorist attacks in Europe was followed by huge casualties on the battlefield in Somalia. The wave of anti-war in the country has been wavering, and the pressure on the presidents of both countries has never been greater.

If it weren't for the fact that the United States has been encouraging behind the scenes. I'm afraid that now France and Italy are about to withdraw from this fight. The interests of the two countries in East Africa can be abandoned compared to the pressure generated by public anger at home. In addition, the current war does not see much victory call, how to fight a decisive battle, this is not a difficult question to decide.

Today, this situation has changed a lot, and since the revelation of Somalia's nuclear weapons, Obama has understood without thinking about it that including the United States, I am afraid that it will set off a higher anti-war public opinion, and no one will be able to resist it at that time. After all, no one wants to live in the sky where the shadow of a nuclear bomb hangs all the time.

Under Hagel's arrangement, an emergency meeting of the leaders of the coalition forces was soon prepared. Napolitano, French President Nicolas Sarkozy (while he was still in office), Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and other heads of state all turned on special video conferencing equipment after receiving a summons from the President of the United States.

In the enclosed round room, Obama sat upright in a chair, three of the neat rows of monitors in front of him had been turned on, and the other three heads of state were seated in turn, and the meeting officially began.

At the outset, Hagel, who accompanied the meeting, began to introduce the situation: "Distinguished Führers, first of all, we are deeply helpless about the form and evolution of this war. In this battle, all four countries worked together, but the enemy showed unexpected strength again and again, which led to a lack of consideration for tactics and strategies before the start of the war, and the rhythm of the war began to be disordered. For this, no one is to blame, but our enemies are too cunning. ”

After all, the United States is the commander-in-chief of this war, and although many tactics are jointly formulated and the staff teams of the other three countries also make suggestions, the main direction is under the control of the United States. Originally, the three countries also believed that the United States had contributed the most and had very much experience in the war, and they were considering the outcome of the war, and the three countries were also willing to let their troops obey the command of the United States.

However, the three countries were really dissatisfied with the fact that in just one week of the war, a major general of the Air Force was killed, and Mogadishu buried the entire command structure of an expeditionary force, a lieutenant general of the United States Army, three major generals from France and Italy, and the elite staff teams of the three countries.

Although the United States suffered the most casualties among these high-ranking generals, the high-level leaders of the three countries also have some opinions on this. If it were not for the fact that the United States was the first victim, the three countries would have made serious representations long ago. Now Hagel is saying this, which is not only an explanation to the three heads of state, telling the main factors that the war has come to this point, but also telling the heads of state of these three countries that the outcome of the war is definitely not what the United States wants to see.

As soon as Hagel's voice fell, none of the three people in the video spoke, and he could only continue: "At present, we have a very important decision in front of us. We, Mr. President, signed the order for a tactical nuclear strike yesterday, and we are very ashamed that this plan is very likely to be stolen by Somalia as a result of the cyber attack. However, we were still working out how to carry out a tactical nuclear strike, so it was not clear to the Somali side which kind of nuclear strike we would take. ”

Seeing the three heads of state whose faces changed drastically in the video screen, Hagel continued at this time: "Please forgive us for not informing us, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the nuclear strike, we originally decided to notify the three more at the moment before the nuclear strike. Now, things have taken a bigger turn, and the purpose of this meeting is to consider whether to continue with nuclear strikes on Somalia. ”

After Hagel said this, he still did not receive a reply from the heads of state of France, Italy and Japan, and continued to speak helplessly: "According to AFP and Reuters reports, the issue of Somalia's possession of nuclear weapons is the key to whether we will still carry out the nuclear strike order in the future. According to further investigation by our intelligence department, the three trucks in Somalia were indeed missile launchers, and our small tactical unmanned reconnaissance aircraft also photographed the appearance of these three missile launchers when they were shot down. Luckily, we saw Somalia overhauling the three missiles, along with three control launch vehicles. ”

Pictures appeared in the eyes of the heads of state of the three countries, and Hagel explained the three missiles on these photos for the three of them, "According to the analysis, we do not rule out that these three missiles are intercontinental missiles, nor do we deny that these missiles are multi-warhead guided missiles, of course, the focus of today's meeting is whether these three missiles have nuclear weapons, and we cannot otherwise do this."

If today's negotiations do not result in a nuclear strike on Somalia at this risk, then we will abandon the plan for a nuclear strike. But what about the war if a nuclear strike is abandoned? ”

Hagel made it very clear that what kind of performance these three missiles look like, and whether there is a nuclear bomb or not, these are all uncertain things. It is precisely this kind of uncertain matter that needs to be discussed by the heads of state of the four countries, and if they all clearly oppose the use of the risk of nuclear war to verify the truth or falsehood, then the topic of discussion will be changed to how to continue this war.
