Chapter 230: Missile Baptism
"The Land of Heavenly Fire rekindled the Heavenly Fire, and the area of influence instantly expanded twenty-six times. ”
"Because the change happened too quickly, our personnel did not have time to evacuate, and we have not contacted any of the members for the time being, and it is estimated that all of them have been killed. ”
As for the air fleet hovering around it, it barely escaped the catastrophe, but about eighty percent of the fighters were still badly damaged, and most of the internal parts of the fighters were deformed and distorted to varying degrees due to the extreme heat. ”
The Minister of National Security looked at the briefings that were worse and worse, and his heart was full of emotion.
He forcibly endured his complicated feelings, and immediately called the person in charge of intelligence over to ask for more details.
The first question he raised was neither casualties nor loss of equipment, but the spread of the Land of Fire.
"Why did the Land of Heavenly Fire rekindle the Heavenly Fire, and why did it expand so much more after it was rekindled?" said the Minister of National Security.
The look of the head of intelligence was a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, the Minister of National Security apparently did not hope to get an answer from them.
He changed the subject: "You won't know the answers to these questions, so tell me first, how is the spread of the Heavenly Fire in the Land of Heavenly Fire now?"
Now the head of intelligence was finally able to interject: "In the last three hours, the average spread speed of the sky fire is 64 kilometers per hour, and the peak speed is about 112 kilometers per hour. ”
So fast?
The Minister of State Security's eyebrows suddenly jumped, his heart couldn't help but sink, and his voice became deeper and lower: "The surrounding crowd has been evacuated, right?"
"After the first natural fire incident, we have already moved all the surrounding residents, so there have been no accidents of residents killed or injured due to the natural fire, but ......," the intelligence chief paused, and then gritted his teeth and said, "It's just that compared to the current speed of the natural fire, it will affect the nearest urban residents in a few hours, although we have already started a new round of evacuation operations." ”
The intelligence chief spoke in detail and laid out the outcome of the matter clearly, but it was precisely because the outcome of the matter was so clear that it was particularly tricky.
"In other words, no matter what, we have to find a way to contain its momentum?" muttered the Minister of National Security, waving his hand, and letting the intelligence chief leave, leaving him alone to think.
After a few minutes, with a grim look on his face, he quickly made up his mind, went to the table, dialed the phone, and asked the secretary to arrange a meeting for him as soon as possible.
At this particular juncture, his request for a meeting was quickly answered, and in just a few moments, all the invitees opened the communication and joined the online video conference.
"I applied for a large-scale missile scrubbing of the Land of Skyfire. As soon as the cap was reached, the Minister of National Security put forward his purpose for convening this meeting straight to the point.
There is no doubt that this slightly abrupt request made several senior officials present a little stunned.
Among them, a relatively young middle-aged man hesitated and said: "We already know the current development of the situation, but it doesn't seem to be so bad, right? Just yesterday, didn't we still plan to adopt the policy and strategy of 'not taking the initiative to provoke the land of heavenly fire'? All of a sudden, it became so radical, this ......?"
"The premise of not taking the initiative to provoke the land of heavenly fire is that it itself has not moved," the Minister of National Security interrupted the other party's words unceremoniously, "but now that this time bomb has begun to explode, and it has a tendency to intensify, if you still want to defend passively, it is not called static braking, but it is called a turtle with a shrunken head and waiting to die!"
The last sentence can be said to be very unkind, the relatively young middle-aged man is also in a high position, and he was openly reprimanded at the moment, and he was a little unbearable in his face, and he immediately wanted to argue with a red face.
But the Minister of National Security had no intention of arguing with the other party, and said coldly: "In less than a few hours, thousands of people will die in the flames, are you sure you want to talk nonsense with me here? Also, as far as I know, it seems that you sent your family out of the country overnight as early as yesterday, and now you are not in a hurry, but it is normal." ”
After that, he didn't look at the other party's ugly face, and directly turned to the head of the faction behind the middle-aged man, that is, an old man with gray faces and temples: "What do you think?"
The old man with gray temples is also quite generous, in the face of such an urgent matter, although he is nervous and anxious in his heart, his tone is still calm: "The use of missiles to bombard the extraordinary area is an unprecedented thing, we don't know how much of a consequence this will cause, the risk is too great." ”
"Unprecedented, that's because the previous major extraordinary accidents all happened in downtown areas, and those Guo Jia regimes were just a rat trap," the Minister of National Security raised his voice, "Whether it is Wangshu Shentai or the Fog Capital Demon Tide, millions or even tens of millions of people gathered at the place where the incident occurred, if those in power really dare to wash the ground with missiles, I don't know if they can eliminate the supernormal crisis, but they are absolutely annihilated by the spittle of their own people and the negative international public opinion." ”
The old man with gray temples lowered his head and did not reply immediately, as if he was in a deep groan.
The Minister of National Security glanced away, then looked away at the camera and lobbied the rest of the participants in the online video conference.
"As early as when the fog people reappeared, I proposed a missile test, but you refused for reasons unknown to us and foe, and I admit this, after all, it does make some sense. ”
"But right now, with the lives of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, at risk, do we continue to let them go?"
"Transcendent power is tempting, it means a new and mysterious uncharted territory, but we must not be at the mercy of it, or even abandon our own people because of it. ”
"This is by no means the work of a single soldier, nor is it something that anyone here can do, and it is our responsibility!"
"Even if we finally survive this extraordinary event, this inaction event is enough to drown all of us in the spittle of a billion people!"
In the previous paragraph of the generous speech, no one in the audience's expressions fluctuated greatly, but as the last sentence came out, everyone's expressions changed.
The fate of being spurned by the entire population does not only mean losing the current position, but also a few scapegoats must be pulled out when the time comes for accountability and liquidation.
"No matter what, we must organize the spread of the heavenly fire to the city," the gray-eyed old man finally spoke, not afraid of being liquidated, but sincerely for the sake of those people, "If things really come to that point, then ......"
His tone suddenly became solemn: "Then let's be the first person to eat crabs, and see if the mysterious existence of the transcendent realm can withstand the baptism of missiles in our scientific and technological civilization." ”
