625. This is the price of necessity
Cedric had already been prepared in his heart, and replied very calmly at this time:
"This is the price of necessity!"
Fox was stunned for a moment, and immediately continued to retort:
"No...... We have a better way......"
Cedric immediately interrupted Dr. Fawkes:
"No, we don't, I've been trying and fighting for all these years to give humanity the right to be the patriarch and head of the battle fleet, but there has been no substantial progress.
"Yesterday, I formally submitted the bill to the Senate, but 90% of the Senators voted against.
"I asked if someone could get the status of a veteran if someone developed a fission weapon, and in this case, there were still 80 percent of the votes against.
"So I finally understood that the peaceful way to fight for rights was no longer possible.
"Dr. Fox may not understand that the Senate is nothing more than a collection of vested interests, and it is impossible for them to take the initiative to give their benefits to us latecomers!
"An armed coup d'état is our only way!"
Dr. Fox was silent for a moment, he also understood such a reality, so his emotions calmed down a little, and once again made his own suggestion:
"They haven't seen the true power of atomic weapons, you can show them that!"
Cedric shook his head slightly:
"If we show it to them in advance, then our weapons lose their suddenness.
"If they know that the existence of weapons is lagging behind, launch a special offensive operation, raid our base, and seize control of the fission weapon, then they are likely to succeed.
"Moreover, the shipwrecks are all steel, and although the fission weapon is powerful, if it does not explode at a very close distance, the damage to them is not fatal.
"Therefore, it is the best choice to launch a surprise attack with fission weapons and directly destroy the Senate."
Dr. Fox was silent again for a moment:
"But the question is, do you think you'll be able to achieve the ultimate victory?"
Cedric continued:
"You should have seen my speech, we will form a joint council, and all those who contribute to the command or the ship's mother can run for election.
"With your contributions, Dr. Fox, it is only natural that you, or your son, become the equivalent of a senator and hold a major position in the government.
"It's the same for everyone, and with that, we can get the broadest support from top to bottom, and with fission weapons, we can't afford to fail."
Dr. Fox sighed:
"Tell me, what are you looking for me, are you running into any problems?"
Cedric immediately said:
"Yes, some of the human beings who entered the nuclear explosion zone developed symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, internal bleeding, and even death on the spot.
What's even more strange is that some ship girls have a breath similar to the deep sea, which causes ordinary ship girls to have instinctive hostility and aggressive tendencies towards them.
"I immediately thought about whether this had anything to do with the characteristics of fission weapons, so I asked Dr. Fox for advice as soon as possible, what are your suggestions and opinions on this?"
Dr. Fox took a deep breath:
"Why did the ship mother go deep into the sea, why did the human race have those conditions, we don't have any exact information at all, we can only analyze it according to the existing situation.
"First of all, hypothetical one, if the reaction of the ship mother and the humans has nothing to do with fission weapons, then we should think, is it related to the senate and the command government?
"Was it the explosion of our fission weapon that destroyed or triggered or leaked something in the Senate meeting hall and the headquarters of the headquarters.
"Hypothesis two, if the changes in the ship mother and human beings are related to fission weapons, it is necessary to consider the difference between fission weapons and ordinary bombs, what is more than ordinary bombs.
"What I know at the moment is that after a fissile weapon explodes, in addition to the same shock wave and heat as a normal bomb, nuclear radiation and electromagnetic pulse are generated.
"If the change in the ship is related to fission weapons, then it is likely to be directly affected by these two effects.
"As for whether it is related, further testing is needed to confirm.
"So, why didn't you notify me when you detonated the warhead? We missed an opportunity to collect data! ”
Cedric knew that this was Fox's professional characteristic, but he was not angry at all, because Fox's reaction showed that he was already thinking on his side.
So Cedric went on to ask:
"I had to do this for the sake of the suddenness of the coup, and we can't go back, so what should we do now?"
Fawkes pondered for a moment:
"In this case, leave the investigation of the nuclear explosion site to me and my colleagues, and you can arrange for people to set up a cordon around and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving.
"For the ship that has entered the nuclear explosion area and has an abnormality, I will also hand it over to me for deployment, and after we investigate the matter clearly, we will compile a report to you."
Cedric was still very relieved about the ability of Dr. Fox and his team, and after hearing this promise, he immediately nodded and agreed:
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to Dr. Fawkes, if you need anything, you can tell me directly."
Dr. Fox said yes again, hung up the phone, took his son Julian and Julian's ship's wife, said goodbye to Mrs. Fox, and went to the lab together.
Cedric arranged for Fox to cooperate with Fox to investigate the situation in the nuclear explosion area, and he concentrated on other military and political matters to deal with the establishment counteroffensive.
…………
The development of things in the USN Command, just as Mu Feng and Cedric had predicted, the battle was inevitable.
Lexington Essex stepped forward and spent a day taking over the direct forces of the Senate and contacting the forces that still supported the Senate.
Because of the common enemy, the originally discordant factions within the Senate also put aside the controversy for the time being.
The scattered teams were brought together, and they immediately began a counteroffensive, with the main battle fleets stationed in various places dispatched to suppress the riots.
The troops under Lexington's control are mainly the combat fleets directly under the original headquarters, as well as the combat fleets under the local formation, which are almost all regular armies of size and formation.
Although their numbers are relatively small, as a regular army, they have uniform equipment, unified management and communication regulations, and have the highest training intensity of the headquarters.
They are basically the strongest fleet in the entire command.
Cedric's adherents were numerous, but with the exception of his own and his allies' fleets, most of them were independent small fleets controlled by ordinary commanders, or civilian organizations of commanders.
Cedric's promise gave these people hope of turning over, and now the mood is particularly high.
A considerable number of them are rabble people who see that it is profitable and follow to make trouble.
Because of the suddenness of the riot, the establishment fleet could not reach the top management, there was no clear order, and they did not even regard the commander of the riot as an enemy at the beginning, so they suffered a big loss.
Now organized for a frontal counteroffensive, the low-level commanders, who were fighting separately, were quickly defeated.
They quickly recaptured a lot of facilities and expelled and arrested a large number of troublesome commanders.
