Chapter 263: Substitute for the Dead Ghost
Thank you, my dear friends, for coming into my life and bringing me happiness, laughter, tears and everything, I love you.
- Excerpt from Shock's "Mein Kampf"
"Of course, if my persuasion fails, in an hour's time, an Ohio-class nuclear submarine at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean will carry out this order without the slightest hesitation."
James' words confirmed Brennan's previous conjecture, it was really Ohio-level, Brennan's heart sank to the bottom of the ice, and for an hour, he trembled just thinking about it, it was irrepressible fear and panic.
In sixty minutes, the end of the world will fall on Earth, the blue planet, the cradle of mankind, is about to be destroyed.
Not daring to hesitate or delay any longer, Brennan pressed his finger lightly, and several rotating automatic machine guns in the corner of the wall suddenly erupted countless metal storms, and the bulletproof glass was beaten out with white spots.
Ten seconds, that's the launch time for the first round, and if you need to continue firing, Brennan has to press the button again. But it was obviously enough, because not only did James not have time to say another word, but it was difficult to find even a whole piece of musculature that was larger than the size of the palm of his hand.
The ground is covered with blood and human body debris, and if you step on it, no one can hold it steady without falling.
At the moment when he took down the button, the alarm bell on the entire floor began to scream wildly, and it was the elite of the Marine Corps who were in charge of the security affairs of the CIA headquarters, and their footsteps and whispered shouts suddenly resounded in the corridor, and the personnel in each office were evacuated many times, and the outside immediately began to be blocked in all directions.
This is supposed to be the first attack on Langley since the day the CIA was founded, and it was also initiated from within, with warning lights flashing on the big screen in the monitoring center, and the location is, of course, the director's office, which terrified everyone.
Countless curses, and even female civil servants sobbing, the shadow of 911 once again shrouded everyone's hearts, could it be that Langley will disappear or be destroyed today, no one will believe it, but people, always like to think of something bad to scare themselves.
The hidden batteries around Langley were opened one by one, surface-to-air missiles stretched out of the silos, and the air force units dozens of kilometers away, in two batches before and after, a total of four supersonic fighters began to take off.
"I'm Brennan, and I'm announcing, disarming, disarming. Everyone goes back to their offices and there is no need to panic, I repeat, no need to panic. ”
Before the Marines could knock open the door to the commissioner's office, Brennan's voice could be heard in every corner of Langley. Under this familiar and majestic voice, the panic was controlled, the crowd stabilized, and the person who was moving fast or slow just now had returned to his office, waiting for the next news to arrive, of course, waiting for the gossip to spread to his ears.
Led by the secretary, the Marines entered Brennan's office, and the tragic scene made even these battle-hardened elites shiver, Nima, this is no longer a person.
Don't look at Brennan's secretary is an old woman in her fifties, the small pistol in her hand is not a vegetarian, and this woman's face is extremely calm, stepping on the human tissue everywhere without frowning, several Marines are ashamed of themselves.
"Brennan, you go to the backup office first, and I'll arrange for cleaning and cleaning right away."
"Contact the White House immediately, I have a very urgent matter that needs to be met with the president."
Brennan waved his hand, he didn't have to worry about the affairs here, and he walked straight to the special elevator, escorted by a few fighters, which led to the helicopter parking station on the roof.
Still in the air, Brennan had already started a conversation with the president, he didn't have time to wait for the more than ten minutes of flight time, James made it very clear that there was only one hour left for them.
When he walked into the Oval Office, the Secretary of Defense was already there, as well as the Secretary of State and several other senior members of the President's aides, all pale and restless. The first time he saw him, the president asked.
"Has the intelligence been verified, do you know which Ohio-class nuclear submarine it is?"
Verifying, of course, Brennan nodded with a gloomy face, then shook his head. There is no doubt about the authenticity of the information, and his office is the best proof of this; It's just that it is still unknown which nuclear submarine it is, and James has not mentioned it.
"Isn't it okay to recall them all, so that we have time to rotate all the personnel on the submarine, won't it be safe?"
That's what the secretary of state was asking, but what she got was a wry smile from Brennan. What a joke, he muttered to himself, but Brennan had to give an explanation, because the other aides and the president were watching him.
"We have a total of eighteen Ohio-class nuclear submarines, and five of them are cruising in the Pacific Ocean, and we can't call them all back just because of time. Moreover, all five submarines were replaced, and we didn't even have that many spare personnel to do this. ”
"The most important thing is that I suspect that as long as we have an order to recall, it is estimated that the nuclear bomb over there will be launched immediately, and there will be no bargaining with us at all, and now we still have thirty minutes."
Thirty minutes, Nima, when it comes to this kind of thing, what can you do in thirty minutes, everyone's faces are like ashes. One of the staff members thought for a moment and asked.
"It's too late to notify the city of Los Angeles to evacuate, and once the evacuation notice is issued, not only will there be social chaos, but the hawks will also get the news, and the submarine will inevitably be launched early. I think the most important thing for us now is not to stop the launch of a nuclear bomb, we can't stop it, so we might as well look at the aftermath, and that's the most important thing. ”
"No, I can't give up until the last second, and the tens of millions of people in Los Angeles shouldn't be victimized."
After all, the president has a different pattern, and he directly vetoed the proposal of this aide. No matter how far things turn out in the end, at least now that he is still president, what is it if he does not have this responsibility.
"I have a solution."
Brennan had been thinking about this solution before, but he didn't know if it would work, and if his political enemies accused him of fornicating information with the Empire, he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around. And, in the final analysis, the nuclear bomb was dropped on Los Angeles, which would not have the slightest impact on their own safety.
"You boldly say that no matter what the method is, even if it is to release all the murderers in the prison, as long as it can make the people of Los Angeles safe, I can sign and directly order."
"I think the experts in the institute can help in this matter, not to mention the rest, how can they intercept nuclear bombs more accurately than our missile system."
In fact, what everyone is most worried about is this interception problem, the distance is too close, it is basically equivalent to the US mainland fighting the US mainland, no matter where the interception falls, it will be a huge disaster for the local area, and even say that the hawks have been provoked, and nearly 20 nuclear bombs on the submarine have all been launched.
Paranormal people have this benefit, such as Superman, who can fly directly over the Pacific Ocean, and can definitely stop any nuclear bomb and throw it into outer space when it has just taken off. It's just that the current situation of Superman is known to several people here, and everyone is silent.
"I mean to inform the two special abilities of Guoan at the same time, Xiao Ke and Niu Li, that they are currently researching because of something, and maybe they can help us. After all, only Thor and Stark are superpowers in the institute right now. ”
That's what Brennan is for.
He briefly recounted the contradictions between Shawk and the Institute, as well as the conflict and battle that broke out between the two sides, but when he heard Brennan say that Stark had been sent into outer space and had not yet been able to come back, everyone was gasping, and Stark himself was a special grade, which was already the highest level of the supernatural set by the United States.
"Immediately contact the Institute, I will personally talk to Thor, agree to all the requests of the Chinese Paranormals, and ask them to help us solve this difficulty."
Thor is arranging a second round of sniping, Stark fails, and the White Queen is inexplicably mixed with Optimus Prime, and from time to time she flatters Shawk, not knowing what her purpose is, in short, Thor does not dare to be careless.
Then, a call from the White House came.
Even if Thor is Thor, he knows what the word White House represents, and he put aside all his reserve, and he quickly figured out what was going on between asking and answering questions with the president very politely.
Putting down the phone and standing there for half a minute, Thor clenched his fist and waved it in the air, paralyzed, really everything came together. Of course, he knows what is going on with the nuclear explosion, and the interception is very simple, but the question is, what if the interception is not mastered at the same time or the interception method is not mastered, and the nuclear bomb explodes on the spot?
The explosion on the sea will not have much impact on the citizens of Los Angeles, and the tsunami is estimated to be inevitable, but if Los Angeles is prepared, there will not be too many people affected, and the government can completely rescue it.
However, as for the interceptor himself, even if he withstood the shock wave of the explosion, what would happen to the radiation, and Thor asked himself if he had the ability to withstand the radiation of the nuclear explosion.
During their years at the Institute, they had studied all the threats posed by thermal weapons to the Adepts, and found that even Thor himself could only be defeated by radiation. He may delay for hundreds of years longer than ordinary people, but eventually his body will be eroded by radiation.
In that case, what else is there to pursue, what is there to pursue a long life, what else to do Thor......
Then, Thor changed his mind, Stark should be coming back, he can count one, power armor has a certain resistance to radiation, but more nuclear bombs will not help.
However, isn't there a Chinese supernatural here, Thor feels that his luck is really good, at this moment, he has an urge to cry bitterly, and he has a kind of gratitude to God**, although Jesus was lower than his god at the beginning.
