Kennedy Space Center. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sudden interruption of the picture was unacceptable to everyone. At the same time, the news from the measurement and control network also makes people unable to believe this fact.

The radar echo representing your own space shuttle has disappeared! This space shuttle of our own side was destroyed just now, in space!

At the moment of disappearing, the voice on the radio was extremely panicked and chaotic, but almost everyone heard it, someone was shouting lasers!

Laser weapons in space! This laser weapon destroyed their space shuttle!

Moreover, in the picture before disappearing at the end, you can also see a shining laser!

Right above their heads, a laser beam flew from nowhere, destroying them! The final image captured by the camera is the reflection of the light on the glass cover of astronaut Nelson's helmet.

It was definitely the Soviets who did it, it was definitely laser weapons!

The radios carried by the astronauts have limited power, and they must be forwarded by the space shuttle before they can be received by the Kennedy Space Center, and because of this, with the destruction of the space shuttle, the two astronauts who were in space have no news.

Huge shock, everyone was stupefied.

Yes, it was fear, and even though they weren't astronauts in space, they could feel it.

Any equipment in outer space is dangerous, and the Soviets can use laser weapons to launch a terrible attack on them at any time!

Moreover, being able to destroy a space shuttle at any time, how perverted should the power of such a laser be? At least two megawatts! And such a laser can even penetrate the atmosphere and directly attack the ground!

The space weapons of the Soviets have finally matured, and this time the destruction of their own space shuttle is a demonstration to their own side, and the entire outer space of the earth is owned by the Soviets!

In the midst of the shock, the alarm from the Kennedy Space Center was also quickly transmitted to the White House.

The top brass of the White House, who have not rested well at all these days, have a lot of differences on how to proceed with the next battle.

With reinforcements arriving, should we put down the West German rebellion once and for all, or should we leave the status quo for now? After all, if you attack in a big way, you should not be able to get the Soviets in a flood of armor, and you should come over.

World War III is just around the corner.

The elder Bush is obviously a strong advocate of fighting.

"We can't hesitate any longer, if we hesitate any longer, what we will lose is not only Germany, but the whole of Western Europe, but also the future of our United States, we must fight this war, although our armed forces are not as strong as before, but we will never give up the use of force! Only war is the most suitable choice for us in the United States! Bush Sr. has been instilling this viewpoint for the past few days.

However, it is not easy to convince these top leaders on their side, let alone the need to convince Congress, which is even more difficult.

"Before, we still felt that we had a technological advantage, but now, we don't even have a technical advantage, our tanks, we can't defeat the other side on a frontal battlefield, can we regain the lost West German land? If we act now, even if the Soviets do not act, the combined East and West German armies will be enough to make us face defeat again. ”

"We have air superiority, we have fighters, bombers, attack aircraft, we deal with the Soviet armored torrent, relying on fighters! Moreover, in outer space, we also have an advantage, we can use our own space shuttle, destroy the navigation satellites, communication satellites of the Soviets, and now, the army of the Soviets, relying too much on navigation satellites, as long as we occupy an advantage in space, we have hope of victory! Bush continued.

Your own side is not useless, and you also have a great advantage!

"Report, the Kennedy Space Center sent a message that our Challenger spacecraft exploded in outer space." Just then, an astonishing piece of news came.

"What's going on?" Reagan asked. Space exploration is a very dangerous activity, and any small glitch in the space shuttle may cost astronauts their lives, but now, exploding in outer space is too scary, right?

"Kennedy Space Center analysis, it was the space weapons of the Soviets, who used laser cannons to bombard our space shuttle, causing the shuttle to explode in space."

Laser cannons, what could be more apt than this? Hearing this, Reagan's face turned pale in an instant.

Overhead, there are laser cannons!

"This is a declaration of war, this is a declaration of war by the Soviets against us, our space shuttle, launched for the peaceful use of space! However, the Soviets actually used laser artillery to destroy our space shuttle! Bush's face at this time was full of excitement: "Outer space, there should be no war, it should be demilitarized!" By doing this, the Soviets started the war on their own initiative! Let's tell the world that the Third World War is about to begin! ”

At this moment, when everyone was extremely angry, Bush was already vowing to fight a world war!

No matter what direction you think about it, the behavior of the Soviets this time is an active challenge! The Challenger is the space shuttle of the United States, the property of the United States, and the Soviets were actually destroyed like this! This kind of behavior can be compared with the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor by the islanders during World War II, which is an undeclared war!

It's the best excuse! The United States needs a war, a complete world war, to change the current situation, whether it can reverse the current situation, or in the end the United States will lose, in short, the United States can only be willing to fight this war!

At this time, Bush was excited.

"Mr. President, the hotline, it's from Moscow." At this moment, the White House chief of staff said.

US-Soviet Hotline! At that time, it was just a remote half-duplex telephone typewriter, but now, after continuous upgrades, it has finally developed into a hotline that can be called directly, and the degree of confidentiality is quite high.

After the opening of the US-Soviet hotline, the leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union had the opportunity to have direct dialogue, and many times, after the exchanges between the heads of state of the United States and the Soviet Union, a consensus was finally reached to make the war invisible.

And now, at a time when a world war was about to break out, the Soviet leaders called, did they want the United States to agree with the status quo? The United States, of course, will not agree!

"Hey, I'm Reagan." Reagan picked up the phone, and his tone was not at all friendly, and he did not have the demeanor of a politician at all. (To be continued.) )
