At the Atlantic Ocean Observatory on the East Coast of the United States, scientists who have just finished making seawater observations are preparing to record a day's data in the archive. The chapter was updated as quickly as the straight line representing the amplitude of the earthquake on the observation instrument fluctuated violently up and down, and the scientists put down their work and gathered in front of the test instrument.

The scientist in front of the instrument picked up a pile of paper, analyzed the data on it, and pushed his heavy glasses. In an incredulous tone, he said, "Could it be that there was a great earthquake in the Atlantic Ocean just now?" Why is there no forecast so suddenly, is it because of the instrument? ”

"Doctor." The researcher's assistant hurried in and brought the shocking news to the scientific doctor, "The hydrological observatories in Virginia and South Carolina have just called and asked if we have monitored a major earthquake that has just occurred in the Atlantic Ocean. ”

"It's not good that three states have detected this earthquake at the same time." The doctor realized the seriousness of the situation, he remembered that there was also a monitoring station in the navy, and hurriedly instructed his assistant to call the navy, "Call immediately and report this news, I don't look like a pure earthquake." ”

Not only the United States, the United Kingdom, and France all the observation stations monitored this Atlantic roaring song, but the British Royal Navy data analysts finally came up with an explanation after three hours of data analysis and calculation, the earthquake was not a simple earthquake, but a change in the earth's crust caused by a violent explosion. Coupled with the previous rumor that a mushroom cloud had risen in the Atlantic, France and Britain sent warships to the area of the accident at the same time. However, the Americans, who were more experienced in nuclear physics, sent the Atlantic Fleet to the area of the accident early in the morning to observe.

The Soviet Union was the late country to observe this news, but as soon as the results of the data analysis came out, Beria, as the second-in-command of the Soviet Union, handed over the results to Stalin.

"You mean that the Americans detonated a nuclear weapon in the Atlantic Ocean that was even more terrible than that of Hiroshima in Nagasaki, Japan?" Stalin could not believe Beria's report, and he asked suspiciously, "Is this report reliable?" ”

"Infallible, General Secretary Stalin. Based on the fluctuations of the earthquake, we have analyzed that the force of this explosion is several times larger than that of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which means that the Americans may well have improved their nuclear weapons and turned them into something more dangerous. "Comrade Beria, who was part of the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons program, was so familiar with these things that he naturally said the truth.

"But the state committee did not have the slightest intelligence back, this is your mistake, Comrade Beria, I don't want such a mistake to happen a second time." Stalin was particularly angry that Beria had not reported such important information in time.

"It was my mistake, General Secretary Stalin." Beria was also depressed in his heart, how could there be no news from the intelligence department about such a big matter.

"We also want to speed up the development of nuclear weapons, and the Americans are already ahead of us. They chose to detonate the bomb at this sensitive time in order to force us to make concessions on the German issue, hmph, these damned Yankees. "When it comes to the United States, Stalin always has a contemptuous look. But in his heart, he never underestimated the Americans. After all, the Americans are the first country to possess nuclear weapons, so the black cauldron of this object of suspicion is naturally borne by the Americans.

Therefore, there is another advantage of being small in the country, that is, no matter what shocking things you do, people will not suspect you. Therefore, Albert's small move made the world's big countries doomed to not be able to sleep peacefully for a few days.

French President Vincent Van Oriol and Defense Minister Paul Ramadier also had heated discussions over the matter, as only one Belgian navy had been out to sea for exercises before the explosion erupted. But it would be a joke to say that a country that does not even have battleships should conduct a nuclear test, but nuclear weapons represent the industrial power of a country.

"But can you explain why only the Belgian fleet was present in that area that night, and who could it be besides them who did it?" Defense Minister Paul Ramadir has quarreled with President Van Chan on this issue.

"Obviously, this Belgian kid has done a lot of small actions behind our backs, and it's ridiculous that as a big country, we don't even know it, to be honest, Your Excellency the President, if I were you, I would roll up all those guys who were on the vegetarian table and go home!"

Paul Ramadiel is a very strong right-winger, and it was only in order to reconcile the contradictions between the left and the right that Van Champs placed him in the position of defense minister. Therefore, the two often do not agree with each other, and Van Shang advocates the overall situation to avoid intensifying the contradictions with his allies, and he doesn't want to sign the "Brussels Treaty" last year and meet his allies today.

"Paul, please calm down first." Van Shang, who couldn't bear it, finally went berserk, "We can't do anything to the outside world before this matter is clarified, otherwise what France says afterwards will not be tenable." So when the results of the investigation are in, you can come and discuss your plan with me to strengthen the army! That's it. Don't talk to me about it anymore, are you the president of France or am I the president of France? ”

Paul Ramadiel was so choked by Vincent that he only waved his hand and apologized for his attitude, "I'm sorry Your Excellency, but I think that France's plans to strengthen the military, especially the nuclear weapons program, must be indispensable." The Soviets and Americans have already outraced us so much, and if there is another British, I think ......"

"It's okay, please get out, Minister Paul." Van Shang unceremoniously invited Paul out of the office, rubbed his temples and said with a headache, "Nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons, why can't this world stop for a while." ”

――――――

"The results are in." Delemment Attlee did not look up, and continued to write a report on stationery with a delicate pen, and after becoming prime minister, he developed a good habit of being able to listen and analyze at the same time, and to be able to handle the documents at hand without error.

As the British Secretary of State for Defense, A.V. Alexander is really stressed right now, and everyone has come to the conclusion that this damn Atlantic mystery earthquake could be a super explosion, and the Ocean Observatory has also sent a message that an inexplicable golden glow has been seen in the Atlantic.

Lights, earthquakes, explosions, all of them naturally think of mushroom clouds rising from Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It is important that everyone wants to know who this country is, which may have lost an atomic bomb and disappeared irresponsibly, and all the information points to the Belgian navy's activities in that area of the sea, and even if Alexander does not want to believe this conclusion, he still has to tell the Prime Minister the most plausible theory so far.

"Belgians, there's a good chance that the bomb was detonated by the Belgians." Alexander's throat rolled up and down, and his voice almost came out of his throat. Not to mention Prime Minister Lady Delemment, even he himself may find it difficult to accept this inference.

Sure enough, the Prime Minister, who was working at his desk, raised his head, looked at Alexander with an uncanny look, and then asked in an incredulous tone, "You mean the Belgians detonated an atomic bomb in the Atlantic?" A country that can't even build its own aircraft artillery has managed to detonate an atomic bomb? ”

"I'm afraid so, Prime Minister......" >
