Chapter 483: All in place
As night fell, all the missiles were installed, and the island was locked. Angelina sat calmly in the makeshift tent, staring at the target presented on the computer screen.
Now, with a single order, ten ground-penetrating bombs will be fired first, blasting the island's low defensive barriers. Immediately afterward, a salvo of surface-to-surface and air-to-surface missiles envelops the entire island. Eventually, a nuclear warhead will be launched, and the island will be completely wiped out.
But Angelina did not give the order, although everything was ready. She was waiting, patiently waiting.
"What's wrong?" Colonel Ivan, who was in charge of observation, asked as he brought a cup of hot coffee to Angelina.
His main task was to watch the nuclear warhead be launched, record its successful explosion, and then return to the intersection. Although they made a deal with the Intelligence Service, they still had to see the nuclear warhead detonate with their own eyes.
If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't be sure; If it is not certain, there is no guarantee that the nuclear warhead will go out. After all, this is a strategic nuclear warhead, far from being comparable to a tactical nuclear warhead.
A single strategic nuclear warhead can destroy a megacity, leaving it in fear of radiation for decades to come. And a tactical nuclear warhead does not have such power, its role is mainly aimed at tactical targets.
The difference between them is in units of "equivalent": the equivalent of the strategic level ranges from tens of thousands of tons to tens of millions of tons, the large one can destroy a megacity, and the small one can completely solve a small and medium-sized city; The tactical level is generally equivalent to several thousand tons, and even as small as tens of tons, and is generally used to attack enemy cluster targets, such as armored clusters, aircraft carrier groups, and so on.
Therefore, the outflow of a strategic nuclear warhead is extremely terrifying, and whichever country sends it out, which country must be responsible and bear the consequences.
"There's nothing wrong with that, I'm waiting." Angelina stroked her hair casually, took a sip of hot coffee and said, "Don't be in a hurry, after all, what we do is unseemly, isn't it?" ”
One sentence made the somewhat impatient Colonel Ivan shut his mouth, they did something unseemly. Such a deal, if brought to the fore, would expose Russia to unprecedented condemnation.
It may be able to settle down, but it will take too much effort and the gains will outweigh the losses.
"What's on the island?" Ivan changed the subject.
He is now also interested in all the missile-locked islands, after all, this is the result of the deal.
"You know what you should know, and you know too much about what you shouldn't, is it good to know?" Angelina smiled: "You should be a smart person, you see a lot of things in this line of work, and there are many things you can't see." I'm sure you'll survive until now, and your mouth and ears will be tight. ”
"Hahaha...... Lady Angelina, as angry as you look, you resemble a nuclear warhead. I wish you a good harvest in love, seriously, I'm really worried about that brother, hahaha......"
"Thanks, that's my business." Angelina pulled a beautiful arc with the corner of her mouth.
Colonel Ivan left, he did not want to stay with Angelina for a moment. Because this woman made him feel a sense of fear, too smart, too sharp, and sure enough, someone who could become a spy since he was a child.
Minutes and seconds passed, and soon it was one o'clock in the morning. And after this time, Angelina kept looking at her watch, her brows furrowed slightly.
The satellite phone placed next to it has been very quiet, the signal is full, the power is full, and it is working very normally. But for a whole day, not a single call came.
"Two o'clock ......," Angelina whispered to herself, "there's still an hour to go, and I can't delay any longer......"
At one point and another, Angelina lit a lady's cigarette and stared at the computer screen quietly, her brows tightened more and more; At 1:30 a.m., her eyes began to stare at the normal standby satellite phone, and an anxious look appeared in her eyes; At 1:45, her brow almost furrowed, and she stared at the computer again.
"Modify the trajectory!" Angelina shouted at the technician and said to him: "Launch the ground missile first, modify the trajectory of the JDAM ground-penetrating bomb to the continental shelf at the bottom of the island, and wait for authorization for the nuclear warhead!" ”
As she spoke, Angelina lifted out a three-dimensional map of the islands, including the continental shelf below sea level. She immediately made a ballistic correction map, turning the island's underground fortress, which was supposed to be bombed by a burrowing bomb, into a continental shelf below the island's sea level.
The island's continental shelf is mountainous, and ten ground-penetrating bombs hit the continental shelf, which can sink almost the entire island - no island is floating.
The whole earth is made up of basins and mountain peaks, and above the sea level is the land, and below the sea level is the ocean.
In other words, a ground-penetrating bomb can penetrate into a mountain to bomb a mountain, and it can be used to drill into the continental shelf at the bottom of the island formed by the mountain, and it can also be used to complete the most effective blasting.
The only difference is that one cuts off the mountain and the other sinks the island.
After five minutes, the trajectory was modified, and after the replanning, it was in place.
"Ms. Angelina, are you ready?" Colonel Ivan walked in again and asked.
"Ten minutes." Angelina glanced at her watch, nodded and said, "The destruction will start at two o'clock, and then ...... Return! ”
There's no time, there's no waiting. Angelina didn't wait for the call, and even if she waited now, she couldn't change the attack that was about to be launched.
"Boss!" An intelligence agent rushed in and reported to Angelina: "We have spotted a ship sailing from the target direction towards the east of the strait. ”
Steamship?
Angelina frowned, then exhaled heavily, a relieved smile on her face.
"Ok, all in place! Colonel Ivan, you can also prepare to observe, and you will soon be able to call it a day. ”
"Okay." Ivan turned and walked out.
At 1:55 a.m., all missiles began to enter the countdown; At one fifty-six points, Angelina observed all bits; 1:57 points; Angelina lights a lady's cigarette; 1:58 points; Angelina picked up her coffee cup; 1:59 points......
"Didi Di Di ......"
The satellite phone that was placed aside suddenly rang, and Angelina, who heard the phone, changed her face, her right hand shook fiercely, and half a cup of hot coffee spilled heavily on her leg. Even through the thick cold clothing, you can clearly feel the sharp burning pain under the burn
