Chapter 337: Joint Chiefs of Staff
However, no one dares to slack off in the slightest, and when life and death are at stake, everyone can only resist to the death and release the spiritual power in their bodies without reservation.
Mo Yingxuan was the first to faint, she had been supporting the formation before, her consumption was relatively the largest, she was exhausted.
Ling Doudou's pale face turned, and her eyes were full of desolation: "Brother Hui......"
Naya Xue shrank towards Zhang Binhui, and when she encountered an irresistible force, she always instinctively sought Zhang Binhui's protection.
However, Zhang Binhui couldn't stand it......
The Pentagon, the underground conference room, the top commanders of the various branches of the United States are all here, and everyone has a grim face, because according to the exact situation, the United States has been attacked by an unknown one.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dronjevic personally chaired the meeting, which was attended by the Special Affairs Adviser to the Presidential Office.
Dronjevic didn't talk nonsense, and after announcing the start of the meeting, he played a video directly.
This was taken by the "peep-eye" military satellite, and the resolution of the picture reached half a meter, and the entire video was very clear.
It was a disaster, the black swan nuclear submarine in the video suddenly rushed out of the level and collided with the destroyer Burke cruising above, the destroyer was cut in half by the nuclear submarine on the spot, and the nuclear submarine was pushed open by the destroyer and sank to the bottom of the sea again.
There was silence.
"We lost one destroyer, and if nothing else, the Black Swan nuclear submarine has already crashed to the bottom of the Atlantic.
So far, we have not received any information from the nuclear submarine, and analysts believe that the loss of the nuclear submarine is inevitable, and rescue teams are rushing to the scene of the accident to carry out rescue. ”
"Are you sure it's an attack? From the point of view of the discovery site, it is more like a tsunami caused by an earthquake. ”
The commander of the Pacific Fleet asked cautiously. After all, the stakes are high, what does it mean to attack the US nuclear submarine, and everyone dare not imagine the consequences, does the other side want to trigger a nuclear war?
Instead of answering, Dronjevic switched the video to a single frame.
"This is the data before the accident, the Black Swan and the Burke received an order from our Joint Chiefs of Staff to rush to that area to carry out secret missions.
The two ships carried out a joint mission, and all the information was uploaded to the "peep" satellite. The Black Swan made it clear that this was an attack. ”
The video still reflects that area, but occasionally the data and pictures in the Black Swan nuclear submarine will be interjected.
As can be seen from the video, the Sargasso Sea area at that time was calm and calm, and there was no trace of abnormal conditions.
But the picture transmitted back by the "deep-sea torpedo" attracted everyone's attention, and everyone present was very clear about this equipment.
Why release the "deep-sea torpedo"? Could it be that the Black Swan wants to explore the bottom of the sea?
The image is very stable, and as expected, the image is still dark except for the darkness.
But when the red bubble poured up, everyone in the audience was stunned: this was obviously extremely powerful energy, its external situation was completely different from that of an earthquake, and the "deep-sea torpedo" was destroyed in an instant.
Then the order from Captain Basel came out of the conference room.
"Send signals outward on all channels, using English, Russian, Chinese to convey the following message: we are not attacking, we have just fired detection devices, not torpedoes. We're doing scientific research, don't attack us.
Measure the strength of that energy right now, calculate the direction in which it is going, and how far away we are.
The Black Swan started at full speed, and the left full rudder left here, warning the Burke, hoping that we still had time. ”
But it didn't take long for the order to be given, and only the screams of the entire crew could be heard in the recording, followed by the silent sound of electricity.
"From this information, we can determine that this is an attack."
Dronjevic's coffin was conclusive, setting the tone for this story.
But apparently there are a lot of officers who are still skeptical:
"Judging from the position of the 'deep-sea torpedo', it was 800 meters from the bottom of the trench, that is to say, it was more than 8,000 meters from the bottom of the sea at that time.
What kind of attack can pass a distance of eight thousand meters in half a minute, and even more so an attack launched at such a depth? ”
The question of the commander of the Pacific Fleet resonated with most people, and many generals began to raise their hands to speak:
"Yes, I agree with Admiral Joel's question. Launching an attack from a trench close to 10,000 meters is something that we in the United States cannot do, and I don't believe that other countries have the ability to do so.
What's more, can you see the power of that small tsunami, which exploded directly from the bottom of the sea at a depth of 8,000 meters, the atomic bomb? Atomic bombs don't work either, right? ”
Admiral Joel stared at Dronjevic tightly: "General, what kind of mission are they performing?" Can't we know at this time? ”
Dronjevic covered his forehead and thought for a while, and finally sighed: "Well, it can't be hidden anymore now."
The Black Swan and Burke were on a highly classified mission that was a matter of life and death for the nation.
Unfortunately, they failed. ”
Dronjevic's introduction shocked everyone: What is at stake for the survival of the country? What could be so serious? Are terrorists going to launch a nuclear attack on us? ”
Dronjevic took out a cigar and held it in his mouth for a long time without lighting it. He seemed to be very distressed, and spun around with a match in his hand:
"Do you know District 51? A small number of the generals present had access to the secrets inside. Now, I'll tell you that it's actually the location of our Department of Homeland Security. Externally, we call it another name, the Star-like Environmental Research Agency. ”
The generals present gasped, most of them were unfamiliar with the secrets of Area 51. The Star-like Environmental Research Agency has not heard of it, but the prestige of Area 51 is well known. I didn't expect that today's events would involve that mysterious place.
"Area 51's job is not to face our adversaries on Earth, its main mission is to face space.
Research future technology, expand living space, discover Earth-like environments, fight for extraterrestrial contact, and avoid the Earth from being attacked by mysterious forces. In a word: the existence of Area 51 is to prepare us for stepping into the starry sky.
The core technology of our F22 fighter was developed by Area 51, and just recently, Area 51 has made significant progress in its research work. ”
Speaking of this, a "hiss" sounded and Dronjevic finally lit the match in his hand.
"We've found alien humans."
