Chapter 153 Nuclear Weapons Authorization [3/4
The hull collided and made a harsh metal friction sound.
The Parrot's bow immediately fell to his feet, and a huge break was knocked out of the front third of the hull of another Aegis ship.
The commanders of the two destroyers shouted almost at the same time:
“Give an abandoned ship alarm!!”
Immediately, the abandoned ship alarm sounded loudly, and the red light from the sirens flashed everywhere in the cabin. The crew rushed to the deck crazily. The cabin was very chaotic, crowded, and stampede incidents emerged one after another.
The other two Aegis ships are not much better.
Several Vulture multi-purpose missiles independently developed by S.H.I.E.L.D. hit the two Aegis ships respectively. One of the ammunition depots was detonated, and the hull exploded immediately. The huge fireball soared into the sky, and the top of the flame reached hundreds of meters high.
The other ship was blown up from beginning to end, and it was basically beyond recognition.
General Terrence Shane, holding a telescope, saw a mushroom cloud rising ten nautical miles away, and his face immediately darkened.
"General, we lost four Arleigh Burke class ships."
"I saw it." General Terrence Shane's face was extremely gloomy.
A moment later, General Terrence Shane ordered the fleet to turn left by 65 degrees as a whole, and he wanted to maintain a relatively safe distance. These two active attacks made him clear that as long as he entered the opponent's 90 nautical miles, he would definitely suffer a blow. On the contrary, as long as he was about 100 nautical miles, the opponent would not attack.
Time passes by minute by minute.
At this moment, General Terrence Shane was very anxious. Because of the interference of communication, he was calling Tiantian not a good person.
Afterwards, he immediately convened a meeting of staff officers.
"General, let's use nuclear bombs! We must never let them get alien technology first."
"General, don't hesitate, use it."
"But the enemy ship is too close to Hawaii. If nuclear weapons are used, it may affect Hawaii." General Terrence Shane was a little embarrassed.
"General, I have calculated that the enemy ship is about 30 nautical miles away from Hawaii. The shock wave of our medium-equivalent nuclear bomb cannot be transmitted to Hawaii, so please rest assured that the only thing residents on Hawaii Island have to face is the strong radiation during the blast and the dust cloud with radioactive elements after the nuclear explosion. Moreover, it is the southeast wind now, as long as the wind direction remains unchanged, the dust cloud cannot reach Hawaii."
A naval staff officer said.
"Do you want me to bear the eternal infamy of being the first to use nuclear weapons? You must know that since World War II, there has never been a nuclear bomb for actual combat..." General Terrence Shane's face was dull.
"General, we have no chance, unless you want to give them alien technology. If that happens, our United States will be really dangerous. It's time for the general to make a choice."
"Please apply for the use of nuclear weapons!"
Seven or eight joint fleet staff members shouted loudly in unison.
With a heavy sigh, General Terrence Shane glanced at everyone, pondered for a moment, and murmured in a low voice: "Well!"
After the words came, he turned around and came to the red phone.
He looked up at the officers in the conference room again, and he frowned slightly and slowly picked up the phone.
However……
There was a busy voice coming from the phone.
this……
"Even the emergency encrypted communication channel is interfered with? How is this possible..." a military staff officer said in shock.
Everyone was stunned. They discussed for a long time, but the phone could not be connected. Logically, the high-encrypted communication used by this red phone is generally impossible to be interfered with. When designing this communication channel, the designer considered this situation, but they couldn't figure out why it was like this.
The conference room was silent.
No one spoke, they looked at each other, and beads of sweat as big as beans slowly flowed down the ravines of the officers' cheeks.
When the sweat dripped onto the floor, the ticking sound was clearly visible, and everyone held their breath.
Just then.
A communications officer said: "Maybe we have a way."
"What's the solution?"
General Terrence Shane immediately looked at the officer.
The other staff officers also looked at each other.
The communication officer came to the conference table, and he picked up a pen and drew a circle on the map.
"As far as I know, the position in the circle is where the submarine optical cable is laid. This optical cable goes directly to Japan. If we reach this position, we send a small submarine to connect the optical cable to the water surface. Then we can communicate with our superiors. This line optical cable is not interfered with by their electronics."
Everyone looked at each other again and nodded at the same time, expressing their approval of this plan.
Do it as soon as you say it.
Fifteen minutes later.
A supply ship was parked above the optical cable sea area.
A small manned submarine penetrated into the sea and gradually sailed downwards.
Time passes by minute by minute.
The remaining ships of the Joint Fleet were waiting anxiously.
About half an hour passed.
The supply ship received a signal from the submarine optical cable.
"General, the supply ship sent a flag slogan, and the optical cable was connected."
Upon hearing this, the officers and soldiers on the bridge were overjoyed.
A helicopter immediately pulled the adapter cable to the USS Lincoln aircraft carrier.
Through the Internet, General Terrence Shane successfully contacted the Ministry of Defense and transferred it to the president.
"His Excellency the President, the enemy ships have strong electronic warfare capabilities, and we have just resumed communication."
"I have heard of it. From the moment I couldn't contact you, I knew I must have been disturbed."
"His Excellency the President, since the technology level of the other party's aircraft carrier is much higher than ours, in order to prevent them from reaching an agreement with the aliens, I suggest using nuclear weapons to destroy them all immediately."
The president spoke as soon as General Terrence Shane finished speaking.
"I just spoke to Fang, and they firmly denied that the aircraft carrier was theirs..."
"This..." General Terrence Shane was a little confused.
"But whether theirs is no longer important. No country can get alien technology in any case. This is a huge threat to the United States, so I authorize you to use nuclear weapons. I will send you the authorization password later, and I want to tell you that three B2 strategic bombers have taken off from the Guam base."
After hearing the president's words, General Terrence Shane slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I understand, Your Excellency the President."
"Good luck to you..."
The phone hung up and General Terrence Shane, sweating-headed, nodded to the officers inside the bridge.
"General, how about it?"
"White House, agree!"
"Okay, great!"
Everyone started to cheer.
After a while, the secret power receiving device suddenly rang.
The authorization password for nuclear bomb launch was spit out.
Chapter completed!
