Chapter 106: The Missing Nuclear Bomb

From the time he received the assignment to the time he looked at a lot of on-site information, he had gradually decided that it was a UFO attack, because there was no other way to explain what happened. Runes, who is in his thirties, is a well-known hawk among the young officers, but he is not reckless, and he has been thinking about the real intention of sending him to investigate this incident, whether it is necessary to find a real country as a target for military crusade, it is important to need a target, regardless of what it has done or what it is ready to do; Or blame the incident on the UFO attack and let it cool and fade down naturally. Runes knew that the Western world was already in a state of panic, and this was a huge blow to the people who had dominated the development of the world for hundreds of years, a huge psychological blow. He wants to understand his role first, or what role he should play, he knows that it is impossible to completely cover up the real details of such a major event, and the media is chasing the truth of this incident like a cocoon, and if there is no concrete, plausible investigation conclusion, it may be difficult to get through this time.

Runes went to the lavatory and tidied up his already straight blue naval cadet's uniform in front of the bright mirror, and found a small pigeon feather on his shoulder, which must have fallen when he passed through the square, he carefully removed the feather and threw it into the trash can at hand, and carefully washed his freshly washed hands before walking to the officer's lounge next door with satisfaction.

Sitting on the sofa in the lounge, Runes held a white porcelain coffee cup full of coffee in his hand, savoring the aroma of Colombian coffee attentively, and his mind flashed the figures of several officers present at the "MacKaser" incident that he had met before, and their words echoed in his ears from time to time:

"It's terrifying, George, you know what, if you were there, you would shudder to see the nuclear submarine disappear from the electronic warfare map one-on-one, and you know it's not an exercise, it's a terrible scene, it's unforgettable." Those who knew him well called him George, and he said this from a friend in the aircraft carrier command room, who was an operational staff officer in charge of intelligence gathering at the time.

The voices of some of the other interviewees also rang out in his head:

"Do you know what it's like to be a thousand meters underwater, of course, you don't know, because you're the first mate on a destroyer, let me tell you, if your equipment can't find the target, then you'll feel like you're blind, and the submarines that explode next to you are like a babysitter shaking your cradle like a baby, and you don't even want to know who you are at that time, it's better to ...... in a dream"

"Since you are the investigator of the 'MacKaser' incident, as a senior satellite operator, I have to tell you my opinion, although our satellite was not destroyed, it must have been attacked, and it is estimated that it was attacked by laser blinding weapons, because several of our military satellites in orbit above the incident area at that time had 'visual' impairments, which were very serious, like severe cataract patients."

"Let me tell you, George, as a veteran destroyer captain, I'm sure it was the aliens who did it, we may have invaded their submarine base, all after we carried out a depth charge attack, and you also know the tremendous power of depth charges under the sea, which is enough to anger the aliens at the bottom of the sea; In addition, as a member of the UFO Enthusiasts Association, I invite you to join us for our latest workshop on how to declare war on aliens......"

"Thank God, it was my turn to rest that day, otherwise the errand to carry out a nuclear attack mission would have likely fallen on my head, it was terrible, three F-48Bs actually exploded in the air like that, like fireworks on Christmas night, before this I always thought that we were the masters of the sky, Amen, may the Lord bless my companions to fly directly to heaven......"

As the scenes of the meeting flashed through his mind, Runes, who had been sitting on the sofa for a long time, rubbed his stiff neck with his hand, poured the remaining coffee from the cup into his mouth, and then he put the empty cup on the coffee table in front of him, stood up, pulled the back of his uniform, and prepared to meet his new boss.

Two days later, sitting in his office, Runes was sorting through some of the new clues he had discovered these days, and he was particularly interested in a set of sonar detection and analysis data that the sunken submarine had sent back to the mothership through a data link before sinking, indicating that there must have been a not-so-small object on the seabed, which he estimated to be about the size of a standard shipping container. At this time, a junior officer knocked on the door and walked into the office, handed Runes a large tightly sealed envelope with the words top-secret on it, Runes signed for it and quickly opened the top-secret letter, he had a premonition that something bad was happening. Sure enough, the document said that the nuclear bomb that fell with the F-48B fighter in the McKayser incident was missing, and the document also detailed that the main body of the wreckage of the three wrecked fighters had been accurately located and found, but the deep-sea divers found that the nuclear bomb fixed in the magazine had disappeared from the missile rack, and its positioning system had stopped sending signals. According to the regulations, the missing nuclear bomb must be recovered, and the nuclear bomb is equipped with a military GPS positioning system just in case, but during the nearly week of searching and salvaging the nuclear bomb, the GPS signal of the nuclear bomb has been working, and it is only 48 hours ago that the signal suddenly disappeared.

George? Runes felt the seriousness of the situation, the loss of the nuclear bomb is not a trivial matter, although it is a tactical nuclear bomb, but because it was intended to be used in the deep sea at that time, the tactical nuclear bomb of the highest yield level was selected, and if a nuclear explosion occurs in an important area, the consequences are unimaginable. He looked at the papers, beads of sweat oozing from his head. At this time, the telephone on the desk rang, and it was the voice of the Secretary of Defense, and Runes felt that the situation was serious, and after putting down the phone, he immediately walked briskly to the minister's office floor with his papers.

************************************************************

In the undersea turtle city, Sato Hongsuke, Li Kang and Yasuda Shuzo are standing in their largest laboratory, a huge nuclear bomb has just been transferred from the open roof by four Black Hawk-18s, the nuclear bomb occupies almost most of the space in the laboratory, several people are circling around this big guy, Sato nodded with satisfaction and said: "This is the focus of my latest plan, as long as we have it, we can completely destroy the main base of the New New Humanity Association on land in one fell swoop." ”

After Sato finished speaking, he looked at Yasuda with disgusted eyes and said: "The antimatter bomb you are researching has never made great progress, otherwise we don't need this big and stupid thing, but it's okay, this is called borrowing chickens to lay eggs, even if it is discovered, it will be relied on on the head of country A, and then it may lead to a worldwide nuclear war, and we can just take over the bombed world, and then no one will be able to stop us." ”

Li Kang teased on the side: "Okay, okay, you can be the captain of the earth, but I have always felt that the name of the earth is not creative at all, and I don't know who gave it this name at the time, so I just changed the name together, I think it should be called ......"

A few people next to him ignored Li Kang's inappropriate playfulness, and Sato asked Yasuda next to him seriously: "Can you start it without a password?" ”

"No problem, it's not a difficult task, we can even install a set of detonation devices ourselves, there are many ways to choose." Shuzo Yasuda said confidently.

Sato nodded, grabbed Li Kang, who was still circling the nuclear bomb, and said, "Let's go, go back to my office, we still have important things to discuss." ”

Li Kang shook his head at Wang Xiaoning, who was standing next to him, and motioned for him to follow him to Sato's office, Li Kang has always been wary of the sinister and cunning Sato, as long as he leaves his base, Wang Xiaoning will be by his side. Because of the grace of saving his life back then, Sato has been treating Wang Xiaoning differently over the years, which is not to say how grateful he is to Wang Xiaoning's life-saving grace, but he feels that this person is witty and brave, decisive, and a talent, and he has wanted to ask Wang Xiaoning from Li Kang's hands many times, but Li Kang has never agreed, Li Kang knows Sato's plans, and wants to remove his arm, but there is no door.

When he came to the office, Sato took out cigars and sake as usual, and let them enjoy them, but because he had something to talk about, he didn't call a geisha to accompany him this time.

Kosuke Sato sat in his chair, leisurely lit a cigarette, and then said unhurriedly: "You two want to know my plan, not to mention that you should be able to guess, this nuclear bomb is the core of our next move." The New New Humanity Association's underwater base has been severely damaged under our planning, and although it has not been completely wiped out, it is estimated that it will take a long time to recover. In the next step, I plan to destroy their base in the mountains in one fell swoop, the attack a long time ago did not have the expected effect, but was wiped out by their counterattack in one fell swoop, we must plan carefully, act cautiously, and completely solve this huge hidden danger on the land. First of all, I hope that you can find the exact location of their base in the mountains as soon as possible, and then we will send an attack force to make a frontal feint with 300 Black Hawk-18s, with the strategic commandos following closely behind, dropping nuclear bombs while the battle is taking place, and then all the attacking forces will quickly withdraw, this is the framework of the plan, and the details will be worked out after you have accurate information about their location. ”

After listening to Sato Hongsuke's plan, Li Kang said worriedly: "This plan is good, but it's not easy to find, there are many mountains, and there are many mountains, mountain streams, etc., and their base can still be invisible, isn't that equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack." ”

After pondering for a moment, Li Kang continued: "However, I do have an idea, and I should be able to find them easily. ”
