“…… The first reports have been sent back from our correspondent station in Icarus, the main content of which is that President Harold of the Alliance has joined the cabinet and the heads of the main operations and scientific research institutions, in the Ministry of Defense. The president had answered reporters' questions before entering the fortress, saying that the alliance would repel the ACA attack and protect innocent civilians at any cost, while a senior league officer, who did not want to be named, said that he would push the alliance to launch a counterattack against such acts of war......

"The commander is in place!"

In geosynchronous orbit, Icarus, at the very center of the entire space station, has a heavily wrapped armored area, and each armor plate here is 100% alloy of prehistoric civilizations made from Icarus itself, which can provide 170% defense at half the weight compared to the Reykjavik alloy made by humans themselves.

This is the top command center of the Ministry of Defense of the Global Strategic Defense Alliance, and the heavy electronic gate in the current president of the Alliance, Steve Brown. Harold's back closed, and the 58-year-old president of the League raised his hand to salute the Space Force soldiers standing nearby, and then walked straight to the platform.

"How bad it is, Natsu."

"The situation is under control, Mr. President, but only in Paris."

The 42-year-old national security adviser, dressed in a crisp black suit, nodded at the president, "Now the problem has shifted to the Nojean nuclear power plant." ”

"What the hell is going on with the nuclear power plant right now." The president turned his head. Looking at the Secret Service Director who was standing aside, David . Morgan.

"The situation is not good, we can basically judge the loss of the nuclear power plant, due to the concealment of the ECC group, after the attack in Paris, we did not notice the situation of the Nojean nuclear power plant at the first time, but only carried out the most standard safety confirmation, thinking that at that time, the nuclear power plant may have been controlled by the ACA." David. Morgan nodded at the president, but the conversation changed. "But thanks to Anderson. Lee soon spotted the problem. ”

"What's the problem?" The president nodded. Asked one more question.

"The transportation records of the fuel rods, Anderson forcibly retrieved the text of the French branch of ECC, and discovered the entry and exit of the fuel rods, and the ECC company admitted that they secretly started the reactor."

"Alexander. You are responsible for the ECC company's problems. This matter must be thoroughly investigated. President Harold glanced at the secretary of state, who was standing a short distance behind him, just as dusty as himself. After the latter nodded, he took a few steps forward and walked to the front of the podium. "But things like tracking down the results aren't the focus right now, Morgan, give me a detailed briefing."

"Okay," Morgan nodded, "Secret Service agents have taken over the control center of the ECC France branch, and as of three minutes ago, the monitoring showed that there were no anomalies at the Nogen nuclear power plant, but the remote operation of the shutdown order was rejected by the other party, and we have now cut it off from the grid." ”

"Doesn't the ACA have control of the power plant yet?" President Harold asked, looking at the number projected in the air.

"The control was directly locked from the host at the moment of the attack, and the ECC engineers believe that the attackers have not broken the firewall yet, but I'm afraid it won't last long," Morgan flipped the electronic board in his hand, "Half an hour has passed since the attack, and the ECC engineers said that they can only hold on for fifty minutes at most, and the firewall will be broken, and then the attackers can do whatever they want." ”

"That is, now it is a time bomb that has not exploded yet." President Harold nodded, "I'm a pessimist, Edward, let's talk about Plan B first." ”

"Yes, sir, we have a group of bombers on standby in Copenhagen, and I have ordered them to hang up anti-bunker bombs ready to destroy the nuclear power plant." The 51-year-old chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army General Edward Brown. Charles raised his hand and saluted a British military salute, "But I don't think it's that simple, we're still waiting for experts in nuclear power to build a business." ”

"That's useless." Suddenly, a voice came from the doorway, and the president turned around and saw a young man in a white coat standing in a corner, operating a computer.

"Who are you? Nuclear experts? The president looked at Han Fei, whose fingers were still flying on the keyboard, and raised his eyebrows.

"Professor Pablasky is still on the way, but you can think I'm a nuclear expert," Han Fei turned his head and pushed his glasses, the president knew that Professor Pablasky was one of the authorities' authorities on nuclear power in the Alliance, but he was doing a real thing on the other side of Icarus before, and it was difficult for him to come over right away - in fact, except for people like Han Fei who skipped work for almost half a month, a large number of nuclear experts in the Alliance were now on the road, after all, it was not their job to stay in the headquarters and wait.

"This is Han Fei, a first-class researcher at the Mechanical Engineering and Genetic Modification Branch of the First Academy of Sciences," said David. Morgan stepped forward and introduced to the president, Han Fei was brought in by Anderson, but after Anderson handed over Han Fei to Morgan, he left the fortress and got on the shuttle to the ground, and the coordination work that had been agreed before was directly handed over to Morgan.

"It's a TF, a brain mutation." Morgan leaned over to the president and whispered as if adding.

"I have the impression that you should be the product of the Sower's Plan," President Harold showed a sudden expression, after all, there are too few things that can hit the luck of brain mutations, and it is normal for the president to hear about it a little, "Now here is your most authoritative, talk about your opinion." ”

"Unlike fusion reactors, the Nogen nuclear power plant is an old-fashioned pressurized water fission reactor from more than a century ago, and it makes no sense to blow up the power station building, even if we don't do anything, as long as the attackers stop cooling, the hydrogen produced by the zirconium water reaction will blow up the reactor directly, or do something to the pressure relief valve, and the steam pressure explosion will be a breeze." Han Fei pushed his glasses as he displayed some data on the screen. "The biggest problem is that the core melts, the hot radioactive material burns through the ground like lava, and as the groundwater pollutes the Seine, let's be honest, it's not just the Paris region that suffers at worst."

"So the only viable option is to blow up the nuclear power plant with nuclear weapons, in which the fuel rods will be burned in a chain reaction, although there will be radioactive contamination. But the consequences are 10,000 times better than a meltdown of the core. ”

"Wait. Can't you use the Chernobyl treatment? ”

The use of nuclear weapons on one's own territory is something that only a madman would do, and while everyone was more or less throwing an expression of "are you crazy" to Han Fei, President Harold was silent for a moment. First of all, an objection was raised.

"Even in 2112 the sarcophagus was rebuilt. Chernobyl continues to pollute groundwater in Ukraine. Han Fei pushed his glasses indifferently, "Unless you plan to evacuate tens of millions of people near the Seine and turn all of France into a no-man's land." Otherwise only nuclear bombs can be used. ”

"But the use of nuclear bombs is too ......" National Security Adviser Xia Xun did not say too much, and he was also cautious in questioning.

"The responsibility is with the ACA." Han Fei took off his glasses, and no one noticed that when he said this, the young man gritted his teeth lightly, and he closed his eyes, "The ACA smuggled tactical nuclear weapons in, we couldn't stop it, but we stopped the meltdown of the nuclear reactor, that's enough, the responsibility lies with the ACA and the Green Future organization." ”

The Secretary of State was about to say something, but President Harold suddenly raised his hand, and then turned to look at the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Edward Edward. Charles.

"Does Copenhagen have a tactical nuclear arsenal?"

"No, but Rotterdam has, with full authorization, it can be ready in half an hour," Charles hesitated, but still gave an answer, "but President, please think again." ”

"I don't know about nuclear technology, but I know what kind of river the Seine is," Harold shook his head and stretched out his hand to signal Charles not to refute again, "I now give you the authority to mount nuclear weapons immediately - Han Fei, your name is Han Fei, can you give us the model of which nuclear weapon we should use?" ”

"There's no problem, I'll calculate it, and the upload will be completed within five minutes," Han Fei nodded, "At present, the core temperature is normal, but once the other party turns off the water pump, the core will overheat within ten minutes, and it must be considered that it is too late to stop it." ”

"Alexander, according to the weapon plan provided by Han Fei, immediately evacuate the people within the attack range, and then deploy a 'wind shield' near the attack location to prevent the spread of radioactive dust." President Harold looked at Secretary of State Alexander A. Romanov, the so-called wind hood, is a device that can use the air pressure difference to form a strong wind blowing towards the designated target location in the troposphere, designed to prevent and deal with radiation dust or dust spread biological and chemical weapons, the effect is very good in the troposphere, in the stratosphere, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

"Also, Charles, release the Black Code to a limited extent." The president sighed, the black code means that the Union is in danger of a nuclear attack, so all theater defense systems are required to be put into combat readiness, all strategic missile units and satellite weapons on Icarus, all aimed at pre-set designated targets, "Attacking other countries' nuclear power plants is tantamount to using nuclear weapons to attack other countries, we have no choice." ”

"Understood." Charles nodded and confirmed that it was not the first time that nuclear weapons had been used in actual combat, not even the second time, and that in the energy war, the entire Middle East region was covered by nuclear weapons, so the military of this era did not overreact to nuclear weapons attacks as they did a century ago, and in addition, the existence and perfection of the theater defense system made ballistic missiles less indestructible, although nuclear weapons still cause a large number of casualties, but mutual destruction has become a very low probability thing.

"Your decisiveness has earned my respect, Mr. President." Han Fei nodded, and gave a rare compliment, he pushed his glasses, and then closed his eyes, "But this is just Plan B, Mr. President, I want to talk to you about Plan A." ”

***

Just when Han Fei began to discuss Plan A with the president, no one noticed that David was still standing beside the president just now. Morgan had quietly walked out of the main command room, into a soundproof private room next to it, and answered the phone.

"It's me."

"What's going on! There was no such thing as an attack on a nuclear power plant in the plan! ”

As soon as the phone was connected, a male voice came from the opposite side of the stern reprimand.

"It was our common decision to cooperate with Green Future, and I just learned about the secret operation of the Nujean nuclear power plant, and we were betrayed at the same time." Morgan didn't have much expression, "But in any case, our goal has been achieved, and now we just need to stop the nuclear power plant accident." ”

"I hope you can really stop it!" The man across from him softened his tone a little, "I don't want to see a nuclear war." ”

"You should have faith in both of us, after all, it's your protégé who is on the road right now." Although the other party couldn't see it, Morgan still shook his head, "Accidents always happen, and there is no other way to do it now." ”

"I've already dealt with the insider, and this matter can't be related to Kronos," the man opposite didn't dwell on the previous topic, "Anyway, I don't want this kind of surprise to happen when the real action begins." ”

"I can't give you any guarantees, that's the price of working with the devil." Morgan remained unchanged, "No one ever knows what the devil is thinking." ”

The man across from ...... was silent for a moment, then cleared his throat, "Alright then, anyway, let's try to make our plans as thorough as possible." ”

"Well, my side will strengthen the contact with those people," Seeing that the other party took a step back, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of Morgan's mouth, so he also made a kind expression, "Don't worry about the green future, they have always thought that all the weapons and equipment are smuggled in from the Mediterranean, and no one will suspect Kronos, for the sake of insurance, I will exchange all the evidence, and then destroy what those guys don't use, of course, this is just in case, After all, I believe in Kronos's technology of copying ACA weapons. ”

"Let's do our part, and I hope this accident doesn't affect our real actions." The man on the other side sighed obviously, "I hope that Tong Guò's sacrifice this time can completely eliminate the ACA as soon as possible." ”

"I hope so."

Morgan hung up the phone, then stared at the phone for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and his face regained a calm expression, then turned and walked out the door, rejoining the crowd who were discussing Plan A with Han Fei.

However, the director of the Secret Service still didn't say a word, just raised his head and looked at the three aircraft that were approaching the Nojean Nuclear Power Plant in the middle holographic projection-the transport plane of the 133rd Mobile Force, and the helicopter that Ling Yu and Jiesi were flying on.

May the world be peaceful, the thought popped into Morgan's head. (To be continued......)
