621. Is this the price?
The Fox family, who had been waiting for news from the Senate at home, had been waiting for a letter all morning, but at noon, looking at the huge mushroom cloud in the distant sky, the whole family was stunned.
Mrs. Fox opened her mouth and stammered:
"Husband...... That...... Is that...... That's an explosion? Such a huge explosion? ”
Dr. Fawkes blinked, thinking he was mistaken, and rubbed it vigorously:
"This ...... What's going on...... How did it detonate directly? Didn't you say that you called me during the experiment...... How is there no notification at all? ”
Muttering this, Dr. Fawkes snapped:
"Experiment...... Wrong...... In that direction...... That's the city, how did it detonate in the city......"
Julian Fox was stunned and said:
"That place, it seems to be the ...... of the Senate"
Midway and Ticonderoga next to him nodded together:
"It's the Senate, what the hell is going on?"
While the Fox family was shocked and questioned, most of the people at the USN Command Headquarters and the ship's mother were all in the same shock and puzzle as what happened.
At the same time, most of the headquarters military ports were already in chaos.
In the aftermath of the explosion, a one-kilometer radius around the Senate, from the Senate, was flattened, and buildings collapsed in a two-kilometer area.
Up to four kilometres of land was in shambles, littered with fires and building debris.
The area of panic caused by this explosion was much larger than the immediate range of destruction.
Shock waves, mushroom clouds, sun-like flashes of light, these things attack the hearts of those who see them, to the extent that they cannot be overstated.
Many humans around knelt directly on the ground, looking at the direction of the nuclear explosion, in a daze.
More than 200,000 people died and more than 500,000 were injured at the moment of the explosion.
But the identity of the people who died has a more serious impact than the number of people who die directly.
The central point of the nuclear explosion was the headquarters of the USN Command, in front of the Senate building, and the surrounding humans and ship girls, in addition to the high-level government of the headquarters, there were also a large number of middle and high-level civil servants.
This nuclear explosion almost completely paralyzed the entire military port in the central part of the headquarters.
However, the nuclear explosion is only a beginning.
Cedric's various manpower immediately took action and took advantage of the chaos to attack various departments of the headquarters, as well as important key facilities.
The enormous shock of the nuclear explosion caused the defense of these areas to be lax, and a large number of high-level deaths made the violent organs of the headquarters military port lose their command.
The interruption of communication caused by the electromagnetic pulse has interrupted the communication between various departments and facilities, and the garrison fleets in various places are fighting separately and cannot rescue each other.
Cedric's men came prepared, and the surprise attack was a great success.
Arsenals, airports, ports, resource warehouses, resource collection depots, one after another, were occupied.
The headquarters of the headquarters is south of the military port, and the military port under the direct control of Cedric.
Cedric's mother, the Essex-class aircraft carrier Bunker Hill, remained hulled in the bay, and watched the scene after the nuclear explosion in the city center through the reconnaissance plane, and the whole person was stunned for a while.
Then he questioned Cedric with great emotion:
"Commander, the power of this weapon is terrifying! Looking at the situation in the city center, I estimate the number of casualties to be more than half a million! ”
Cedric looked at the situation in the city center through the view of Bunker Hill, and his expression was also a little surprised:
"The power of this explosion was completely beyond our expectations......
Bunker Hill was stunned for a moment:
"Commander, didn't you expect this bomb to be so powerful?"
Cedric blinked:
"According to the calculations of Dr. Fox and his team, this bomb should not be so powerful.
"Dr. Fox asked us to conduct the experiment first, but if we made the experiment public, it would leak the news in advance, so it was used directly in action......"
Bunker Hill was silent for a moment:
"Is that the price you are talking about? Hundreds of thousands of casualties, the complete destruction of the Senate building and related institutions, is the price too heavy? ”
Cedric took a deep breath:
"This is the price that must be paid, and the current members of the Senate, all of whom are spokesmen for various vested interest groups, will never be able to peacefully contribute to their own interests.
"You know best about my proposal, the admiral will join the senate, which is already a very high standard, but it is still opposed by more than nine deputies, and it cannot be passed.
"Through this vote, I understand that if we do not take it physically, if we do not use force, the Senate will never accept our legitimate interests!
"Our task now is to bring the situation under control as soon as possible, restore stability and reform the system of the Council of Lords.
"We want to unite the commanders, the contract ship mother, the free ship mother, and the human representatives of various industries to form a joint council to replace the senate and become the highest decision-making body of the headquarters."
Bunker Hill sighed:
"I know what you think, you've said it more than once, but I just think there should be a better, more reasonable, gentler way......"
Cedric listened, waved his hand violently, and shouted loudly:
"No, in the past few years, I have tried various methods, and you have personally participated in them, and you should know that this level of reform, without the use of force, cannot succeed."
Bunker Hill opened his mouth and didn't speak.
Cedric was stunned for a moment, took a breath and said:
"I'm sorry, I was a little emotional just now, don't take it to heart......"
Bunker Hill shook his head:
"I didn't take it to heart, I actually understood it, it was just ...... I just can't bear it......"
Cedric closed his eyes and said:
"Okay, there is no turning back from the bow, things have come to this point, it's too late to say anything, continue to stare at the situation on the front line, and prepare for battle......"
Bunker Hill nodded, cheered up again, and controlled the plane to patrol around, using his own plane as Cedric's field of vision to assist him in directing the battle on the front line.
In the Space Island Scientific Research Center, Mu Feng was sorting out the harvest when he suddenly received a message from Shenzhen:
"Commander, urgent news, there is a big explosion at the headquarters of the USN Command, the seat of the Senate, with an estimated explosive yield of 20,000 tons, it is likely to be an air-burst fission weapon!"
Mu Feng exclaimed in surprise when he heard this, and jumped up directly:
"Fission weapon explosion? Where is the Senate located? What the hell is going on? What about casualties? ”
Shenzhen immediately replied:
"There is no more accurate information yet, only that after the nuclear explosion, there is an armed force that is taking over key facilities in the city, which may be a premeditated armed coup!"
Mu Feng blinked his eyes and cried out bitterly:
"Crazy, using a nuclear explosion to carry out a coup d'état? This IJN's dirty bomb hasn't been cleaned up yet, and you have a real fission weapon here, can you let me clean up for a while! ”
