Chapter 764: The Last Minute
Ban Ki-moon's words are very pertinent, and when he said hundreds of nuclear bombs, Li Lan had already thought of this, and he had already prepared for this, saying: "You can rest assured that although I cannot open the door of my nuclear arsenal for others to watch, I will definitely come up with strong evidence to prove that Somalia now has a nuclear deterrent capability." ”
"After all, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is an agreement between nuclear-weapon and non-nuclear-weapon states, and if Somalia is more transparent, I believe it will play a vital role in promoting world peace." Ban Ki-moon rejoiced.
"Somalia will certainly work towards this, and hopefully it will improve the hostile posture that the Western world maintains towards Somalia." Li Lan pointed out.
"I'm sure there will come a day." Ban Ki-moon was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, after all, the West's all-round blockade of Somalia has been going on for several years, and he has no say in this regard.
"Not to mention these unpleasant things, this time I hope that on the international stage, Somalia can further make greater contributions to the people of the world and the international community." Li Lan changed the subject.
Naturally, Ban Ki-moon did not want to talk about the topic of relations between Somalia and Western countries, because he could not influence either side, and being caught in the middle would only embarrass him, so as soon as he heard Li Lan's words, he immediately said: "Please speak." ”
"Actually, it's not a complicated thing, but I hope that Somalia can play a more important role in the international counter-terrorism arena. As you know, from the very beginning, our purpose has been peace. Beginning with the eradication of the Somali Al-Shabaab, we have not stopped our efforts in this regard. At present, it can be said that Somalia has the highest safety factor in Africa as a whole. Prohibit the civilian arms trade. He also worked to confiscate a qiē of his private weapons. Li Lan said.
"Somalia's achievements in counter-terrorism are something that the whole world can see." Ban Ki-moon once again expressed his appreciation for Li Lan's words, saying: "Actually, this time I came over, there is another thing, presumably President Li has heard a little bit about Sudan's anti-terrorism matter. ”
"Yes, the CIA seems to have discovered bin Laden's tracks, which has also attracted the attention of intelligence agents from various countries." Li Lan nodded, according to Somalia's table in the war. Especially in terms of intelligence, if he says he doesn't know, he will directly sue the world, he is lying.
This matter is already a secret between countries, and it is only necessary for major news to officially report on this matter. However, such an action is naturally impossible to inform the world in the process.
"According to the information we have received before, the United States has organized most of the forces of various countries, as well as some peacekeeping troops in Africa. Hopefully, bin Laden will be wiped out once and for all. Ban Ki-moon explained simply.
"I don't know what I need to do?" Li Lan is very proactive, in fact, when it comes to this, Ban Ki-moon naturally does not simply say it to him, he is also very conscious.
Ban Ki-moon nodded. "But for a long time, anti-terrorist personnel in Sudan have not found bin Laden's hiding place," he said. A carpet search in the form of geological exploration in suspicious areas has begun in the hope of finding underground spaces where bin Laden may be hiding. But. As a result, there has been little substantive progress. To that end, the International Anti-Terrorism Organization hopes that Somalia will be able to provide them with the necessary intelligence support. ”
"It's a little confusing to me. Somalia is not actually involved in this, and when it comes to intelligence, of course, it is not as well known as other countries, so how can I provide it? Li Lan wondered.
"The International Anti-Terrorism Organization hopes that Somalia will be able to use the remote sensing satellites in the Somali geosynchronous orbit to provide real-time satellite images of suspicious areas for counter-terrorism investigations. After all, countries do not have remote sensing satellites in this area, and in order to avoid misunderstandings, they have no intention of modifying the orbits of the original satellites, so we hope that Somalia can help in this regard. Ban Ki-moon said.
"This one doesn't ......"
Before Li Lan could say a word, he was interrupted by an abrupt knock on the door, and the two of them also looked at each other at the same time, and they would have a bad feeling in their hearts, if it wasn't for the very strict thing, no one would dare to come here to disturb their conversation.
Without hesitation, Li Lan pressed the electronic key of the door lock, and the person at the outer door immediately pushed the door and walked in, but the person who came was not Li Lan's subordinate, but Ban Ki-moon's assistant, who was also an Asian, but now his assistant's face was very panicked, and he came to Ban Ki-moon's side and immediately spoke: "Secretary-General, things are terrible, I just received news from the international anti-terrorist organization, the terrorist organization has planted fifteen tons of explosives in the Merowe Dam, the largest dam in Africa, and bin Laden appeared on Sudanese state television, The matter was announced to the whole of Sudan, and the whole of Sudan is now in chaos.
Moreover, the soldiers who were about to go into the water to defuse the bomb were also shot by the killers who were ambushed underwater, and the terrorists were well prepared, and their javelins could actually penetrate the high-pressure diving suits underwater. At present, a new round of bomb disposal personnel has been dispatched to launch the water for the second time, and there is no information on the specific situation yet. According to the reported time, the time before the dam explosion is currently less than five minutes. ”
Ban Ki-moon and Li Lan stood up almost at the same time and exclaimed, "What! ”
The reactions of the two were surprisingly consistent, and outsiders would never have imagined that Li Lan had already known about this matter, and his reaction was just right.
"How did it come to such an urgent moment? If the Merowe Dam is blown up, it will be the biggest disaster of the 21st century, and it will immediately sue the International Anti-Terrorism Organization to destroy those explosive devices at any cost. Ban Ki-moon's mind is almost blank now, he has been to the Merowe Dam, the size of the reservoir is the largest in Africa, and the major cities in Sudan are all under this reservoir, once the reservoir is tilted out, he can't imagine that kind of picture.
"If it weren't for the fact that the Sudanese side found out that they had lost contact with the reservoir, I am afraid that we would not know until now that terrorists had planted explosives under the dam......"
"Now is not the time to blame, we should act now." Li Lan directly interrupted Ban Ki-moon's aides.
"President Lee, what can you do?" Ban Ki-moon, who had no idea for a while, naturally focused his attention on Li Lan when he heard this.
"I'm afraid that no one can do anything now, if we can remove the danger smoothly, it will naturally be a great joy, if a catastrophic side really happens, we can only prepare for the worst." Li Lan shook his head and continued: "So, immediately contact the Sudanese president so that he can't mess up, and we are ready to mobilize materials and personnel, and once the fastest situation occurs, we can arrive in Sudan as soon as possible and participate in the rescue." ”
Ban Ki-moon also calmed down immediately, and said: "Now it can only be like this, I hope that every qiē can go smoothly." ”
――――
At the same time, on the Merowe Dam, more than a dozen sets of heavy diving suits that were urgently transported have been put on by the third group of soldiers who plan to go into the water, fortunately, as the largest reservoir in Africa, the equipment is very complete, and various diving suits are prepared in the reservoir, otherwise the depth of 150 meters will not be able to reach it at all.
However, in the past, those wetsuits could only help personnel resist water pressure and regulate the temperature of the human body, but this time these wetsuits are saturated wetsuits that were urgently mobilized to resist the pressure of the deep sea.
Soon, the third group of bomb disposal personnel and guards were also immediately launched, and some experienced bomb disposal professionals also used the guò network and underwater cameras to look at the timed detonation equipment on the screen and urgently discuss the demolition plan.
Even bomb disposal experts across the United States have received this timed decoration picture.
However, two or three minutes passed, but no real dismantling plan came out, which made the bomb disposal personnel waiting under the water, and the soldiers who were ready to provide cover for the bomb disposal personnel, feel extremely anxious.
Because on their side, in addition to a time bomb with a countdown, there are also killers hidden in the darkness deep underwater.
However, in this emergency, no one chooses to flee and leave, although they can escape, as long as they hide in the mountains on both sides of the reservoir, even if the dam is destroyed, the flood will not hurt them.
But they didn't choose to do it, and they didn't really want to see millions of lives under the reservoir disappear in the water, except for the orders from the higher-ups.
However, as the clock ticks down, the chances left for them are getting smaller and smaller.
And at this moment, ammunition experts around the world, after learning about the situation, also remember to scratch their heads, not that they can't think of a way, but there is no way at all, because the entire timed detonation system is full of circuits everywhere, and it is a multi-layer circuit.
And it is more than 100 meters of water bottom, the shell of the timing device has additional detonation equipment, once the shell of the timer is opened, it will inevitably explode, and now it can only use large pliers to directly cut the shell and the line together.
However, this kind of detonating device, which has circuits everywhere, is the most difficult to dismantle, let alone multi-layered circuits, and there are not many people in the world who can assemble such time bombs, let alone dismantle them smoothly. Only the person who designed the timed detonation device had the means to safely dismantle it.
If you move that line, it will directly detonate the bomb, and the whole bomb counts the multi-layered circuit, there are 16 lines, and the colors are so varied that it is impossible to judge at all.
The most troublesome point for them is that each timed detonation device here has a completely different circuit design, and even if one is successfully dismantled, there is nothing to learn from other time bombs.
At this moment, time has slowly come to the last minute, and most people are already starting to feel hopeless. (To be continued......)
