Chapter 137: Eagle General
Mutants come out of the city to fight to the death against the monsters that invade Los Angeles, and in the corners where the searchlights of the U.S. federal troops can't reach, they stand up to protect every U.S. citizen who needs protection.
The situation began to improve, but the dignitaries sitting in the President's Emergency Operations Center were not relieved, and they all saw a deep sense of worry in their eyes and expressions.
"Mr. President, it has been confirmed that the operations center is secure, and there are no security breaches on the perimeter and inside the White House." The head of the secret service team whispered good news to William's ear, after a simple round of experiments, the possibility of hiding a mutant in the White House can be ruled out for the time being - this method of testing with food is not clever, but it is the most efficient method at the moment, maybe there will be a nail planted by the mutant in the White House, but all the personnel in the emergency operations center will definitely not have problems.
William nodded, looking at the others, now that the pressure on the frontal battlefield in Los Angeles had eased, they had to hurry up and discuss their countermeasures after that.
"I wondered, where exactly did these variants come from? Is there a deeper conspiracy in there? William looked first at the director of the CIA.
The director stood up to make a report, under normal circumstances he did not need to do this, but what happened today made him feel extremely ashamed, his negligence was not only dereliction of duty, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is dereliction of duty.
"The idea is that after the disappearance of the Huaxia Yuanjiang Dome, these mutants left Huaxia from the sea. Although China is trying to build a world-class and powerful navy, its naval strength is still limited, especially in seabed exploration technology. "The director avoids the important and takes it lightly, and everyone here knows where the pressure comes from that the development of the Huaxia Navy and electronic chip industries has been hindered.
"It only takes a maximum of 24 hours for a normal person to transform into a zombie without injection of serum, and this time is often much earlier due to different personal physiques. A zombie only needs to eat a dozen or dozens of humans โ note that it doesn't have to be a living person, but a corpse, or a limb โ to evolve into a mutant. The director sighed, "China's intelligence system, and China's intelligence system, it is difficult to take into account every corner of the world, and the mutants can easily hide themselves and expand their numbers in some backward third world countries, remote islands, and backward areas, of course, this expansion must be limited, and it will not grow exponentially, otherwise we will not be able to pay attention to it." In fact, in some areas, religions have developed to worship mutants, and I think that's probably the base camp of mutants. โ
"As for how they came to Los Angeles quietly, how they got into Mr. Commander's office, I'm sorry, I don't know." plucked up the courage to say that he didn't know, and the director's mood relaxed a lot.
"If the mutant endangers the national interests of the U.S. Federation, we can bomb those places so that this dangerous religion does not spread to our territory or to certain sensitive areas." One militant immediately proposed, "Use the giant bombers at the Asunciรณn base and drop incendiary bombs into their base camp and turn these damn mutants into char in the heat of melting steel!" โ
"I think, sir, that's not a good idea, and we'll pay a heavy price if we provoke mutants." The general with a gold star on his shoulder shook his head in retort.
"The U.S. federal military enjoys the highest military spending and R&D spending in the world, and should not be afraid of any enemy!" The militants glared at the general, dissatisfied with his cowardice.
"Yes, our army is invincible. But, sir, pay attention to my wording, we will pay a heavy price, and the casualties of the war against the mutants will collapse you and Congress and the economic system of this country. The general stood his mind.
"We have the world's number one fleet, and Los Angeles is at an impasse for the time being simply because we weren't prepared." The militants chased the general by the tail like a mad dog, but the general looked at William and said, "Mr. President, he is right, this time it's just that we weren't prepared. But even if we were prepared, our carriers and fleets might not be able to defeat the mutants easily. What I mean by this is that even if the mutants give up their powerful penetration and stealth abilities and fight us on a frontal battlefield without weapons, we will still pay an unbearable price. โ
"Oh?" William's facial muscles twitched.
"You see, some of these mutants can fly, no slower than helicopter gunships, and some can dive into the deep sea, and they can march faster than sea fish. Radar can't detect them, they're just bigger birds or sea fish in radar identification, imagine what would happen if this mutant rushed or flew towards our warships in droves? The general asked.
"Will it be shot down by naval guns and anti-aircraft missiles?" William asked tentatively, he was not as keen on solving problems by force as his predecessor, and he was really unfamiliar with them.
"Yes, the Aegis system of the fleet will be activated immediately, the cruiser will launch ship-to-air missiles, and the hit rate will be very impressive. But, but! Ship-to-air missiles are designed to destroy point-shaped targets such as warplanes, and a single air-to-air missile can only kill one flying mutant, or, with a bit of luck, a small amount of high-velocity shrapnel from an explosion can kill several. And you can see the maneuverability and number of these flying variants, assuming a war now, our anti-aircraft missiles will simply not be enough, and anti-ship missiles and cruise missiles with large-area killing capabilities will not be able to hit these flying variants at all. โ
"That is, there are infrared, radar, laser guidance and other guidance methods, judging from the number of ship-to-air missiles carried by the entire fleet, well, this number should be 1,500 under normal circumstances, and the maximum overload is 3,000, they can shoot down at least 2,000 fighters, which is enough to deal with the entire air force of a big country, but is it enough for mutants that can be multiplied exponentially?"
"As long as the flying mutants pass the ship-to-air missiles, the Phalanx artillery system can't stop them, will they take the other mutants to successfully board the ship, board the fleet carrier, and then there will be a slaughter, the navy equipped with light weapons and the mutants in hand-to-hand combat? Scold! Such a war is not an unbearable price for mutants, and for the American Federation, it only takes one time to bankrupt us! โ
"Not to mention, mutants can't be stupid enough to confront us head-on, they can assassinate, divide, buy people's hearts, and stir up civil strife. They can cross borders at will, fly across borders, and our radar systems can't even distinguish them from the birds! They can hide in any corner of the world and wait for a chance for revenge! They don't need to buy guns, they don't need organizational funds, they just need enough corpses to form a strong army that is difficult to fight! โ
After the rest of the people were speechless by a remark, the general also stood up, stood up and saluted: "Your Excellency, modern warfare will be rewritten from today onwards, and mankind has one more natural enemy, so we should have prepared early!" โ
William finally understood that the venerable general was not a dove, but a sane hawk, and he did not agree with the undeliberate impulse, believing that the American Federation should squeeze the value of the mutant out of the preparation process, and then regain its role as the world's policeman and eliminate the natural enemies of mankind.
