At the airport on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, a fleet of U.S. bombers lined up in the early morning twilight, only the sparkling lights could show the busyness of the place, and the U.S. pilots were ready to go, each of them with tiredness and nervousness written on their faces.

"Guys, today's operation may be the last one before the end of the war, and if it goes smoothly, we may achieve the final victory, or we may fall into the abyss from now on, but in any case, this is already our last step. I know that each of you may be scared, worried, and nervous right now, but none of these feelings will help you on the battlefield or make you feel better after the action. I hope that you are all simple-minded professional warriors at this time, don't think too much, just complete your tasks and follow orders. The commander of the US military base said to the US pilots in a meticulous manner, and I believe that everyone is heavy at this moment.

They already knew what kind of mission they were about to carry out, not to mention how safe it would be, and how good the chances of returning alive were, it was already quite a terrible thing for them to imagine what it would be like for the two nuclear powers to start dropping nuclear bombs on each other and pledging to destroy each other. Even if they do return safely, they may face a situation where there is no more country, their relatives and friends have died in the nuclear explosion, and the U.S. government may be wiped off the face of the earth, and they will be greeted only by a nuclear wasteland.

Because no one can imagine the consequences, and it is absolutely unacceptable to be able to imagine them alive, this US commander asked his soldiers not to think about it, just do it. Because of this kind of thing, as long as you think about it, you can't continue to do it.

It's like a B-52 bomber crew member who refused to board the plane just now, howling that he was absolutely not an executioner who would slaughter hundreds of thousands of civilians, and that he would never want to plunge the earth into a nuclear war. However, his righteousness did not last long, and he was directly dragged out by the soldiers of the Judge Advocate General's Office of the US Army and shot in public. All the American soldiers were stunned, because such a thing would hardly happen in the US military, but in extraordinary times, the US military is now diverted by war, and cannot condone any discordant factor that may destroy the US army's plan.

According to the plan, bombers taking off from Guam, Hawaii, and even the mainland of the US military will fly directly to the Chinese mainland or even near the mainland of China after refueling in the air, including several major allies of China around it. The B-52, capable of launching nuclear cruise missiles, will start attacking on the periphery, and the B-2 will fly over Chinese soil to strike again.

At this time, the strength of the US air-based nuclear forces has been greatly reduced, and after several air battles, the US bombers have suffered relatively severe losses, but this time, the US military has prepared all the aircraft and nuclear vehicles that can be used, and is ready to launch the most terrifying and large-scale nuclear attack.

As for how many bombers will be able to escape the interception of China's huge fighter fleet and rush into the attack radius, it is really a big question mark. But at this time, the Americans couldn't take too much care of it, they could only go down resolutely, gamble all the chips in their hands, and go crazy for the last time.

At the same time, in the deep ocean, the US military's Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarines are also making final preparations.

"All missiles are empty at once? Oh my god, what the hell is this going on. "XO of the USS Maryland nuclear submarine was already so surprised that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and he looked at his captain in disbelief, in the same trance as he was.

Strategic nuclear submarines such as the USS Maryland do not necessarily have all their missile tubes filled with Tridents, and sometimes their launch management is filled with missiles with conventional warheads, and sometimes they may not be loaded at all. But even with a dozen Trident II submarine-launched ballistic missiles, it is no longer a problem to destroy a medium-sized country, such as China's eastern coastal provinces, and an Ohio-class with multiple warheads may destroy most of them.

The United States has 22 Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarines at this time, and on the other hand, after the disarmament agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union, the United States canceled the manufacturing plan of 6 Ohio-class, but the strong rise of China in this plane has made the United States have a huge sense of crisis, so it restarted the Ohio-class construction program.

About a third of the Ohio-class is in a state of combat readiness cruise, and this number has become a little more since the outbreak of war, and what the usual US strategic nuclear submarines need to do is hide in the deep sea, waiting to be activated at any time, and they also need to guard against hunting from Chinese attack nuclear submarines and even conventional submarines. The number of Chinese submarines is many times that of the United States, especially in the coastal areas, where a large number of small and medium-sized submarines are active, which is extremely dangerous for strategic nuclear submarines.

Even on the high seas and oceans, it is possible to encounter attack nuclear submarines that are also carrying out combat readiness cruising missions, and the meaning of their existence is to look for those enemy nuclear submarines, and after discovering them, they may not attack immediately, but will be attached to their tails, and as soon as there is a situation, these strategic nuclear submarines will be immediately sunk.

Therefore, after the outbreak of the war, the Ohio-class of the United States stopped a little, strictly following the instructions of the combat manual, and avoiding any encounter and contact with China's attacking nuclear submarines. A few months ago, an Ohio-class nuclear submarine encountered a Chinese Type 095 attack nuclear submarine in the Pacific Ocean, and if it weren't for the U.S. military sending a large number of ships to support, and the proximity to Hawaii, I'm afraid this Ohio-class would not have been able to survive.

"If we launch a missile, I am afraid that we will immediately be discovered by Chinese submarines in the nearby waters, there are too many submarines of the Chinese, and the risk of our exposure is too great." XO said nervously.

The captain said: "However, an order is an order, and disobedience is a coward's behavior." ”

XO said, "But if we do, we will become butchers." ”

"Could it be that the Chinese have killed fewer innocent civilians?" The captain excused himself.

"Captain, this is your decision, we will all go with you." XO said to the captain, sending the pressure back to him.

The captain of the Maryland sighed, pondered for a moment, and said: "Be ready for the final launch, the war has reached this point, even if we don't launch, others will definitely launch, nuclear war is coming, and no one knows what the future of this world will become." ”

In the land-based rocket launch bases of the US military, the new nuclear ballistic missiles that have been developed from the sixties and seventies until recent years have also entered the final stage of preparation for launch, and the soldiers here are also confused and panicked, just like the air force and navy, the soldiers here are also confused and panicked, but in an organization like the army, no matter how afraid and hesitant they are, as long as the order is given and the organization is complete, the soldiers will involuntarily become a link in the entire chain and mechanically complete the task.

The United States has not developed any road-mobile strategic weapons other than the Wave Pilot, so almost all land-based ballistic missiles are placed in fixed launch bases. Malmstow Air Base has been a ballistic missile launch site for the US military since the sixties, but it has never been on a combat mission other than training, and today Malmsstorm is on its first combat mission since its establishment.

An officer at the base said worriedly: "At the beginning, China paralyzed the entire Russian nuclear weapons use capability in one breath during the Russo-related war, and all those missile silos were eliminated, and did not cause a nuclear explosion, I am afraid that the Chinese used vacuum implosion bombs back then, if the Chinese want to launch a nuclear counterattack against us, using this vacuum implosion bomb, will we not be finished?" ”

Another officer also said: "Yes, it is really the saddest thing to die under the vacuum implosion bomb, it is said that you can make a black hole with something and suck everything into it, so that there are no corpses?" ”

The officer next to him was a little more optimistic: "China may not be able to hit our mainland with ballistic missiles with vacuum implosion at all, but we still have an advanced and powerful anti-missile system." ”

The pessimist said: "But in terms of anti-missiles, it should be China's stronger, they all have the ability to fight against missiles in the middle course, maybe our missiles did not succeed in hitting, but theirs could." ”

"Thomas, if you ask the brigadier general, let's evacuate the base as soon as we finish the launch, even if we are hit, we will at least survive and not be swallowed directly into the black hole."

The officer said with a bitter face: "Not to mention such an unreliable construction, the brigadier general will not listen at all, even if we do escape from the Malmsholm base, where can we flee to?" It is conservatively estimated that China has 20,000 or 30,000 nuclear warheads, and there is no problem with these nuclear warheads being destroyed dozens of times by the United States, can you be sure that except for Malmstom, everywhere else is safe? ”

Everyone sighed again and again, and some people said: "The war has been fought to this extent, the Chinese army has broken through the Yukon and entered Canada, we can't win at all, why can't we admit defeat with dignity, at least not put the lives of 300 million people in the United States under the nest." ”

The officer said: "Because of those politicians."
