In this room, standing or sitting, O'Maher's chief aides are still the middle-aged but still charming, shrewd and capable Secretary of State Clary, the fat gray-haired national security adviser David Malone, and the Secretary of Defense Goosebee, the Secretary of Homeland Security Sean Lee, FBI Director McCarthy, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Albert.

The faces of these people are also very unsightly. They looked at Omacher, who was almost out of control, with deep sympathy and doubt—no matter who it was, it would not be good to be in such a hellish place during the sleepiest hour of the day.

They are now located in the command center of the presidential emergency shelter, located 500 meters underground of the presidential residence, one of two buildings made of two reinforced concrete, equipped with a series of complete infrastructure such as power station, power supply and distribution system, water supply and drainage system, communication system and air conditioning system, which can provide 800 people with the food they need for 30 days. The Vault's command system can exchange information with the outside world through a variety of communication tools, such as communications satellites, microwave relay lines, and fiber optic cables, and maintains close contact with the Department of Defense, Strategic Command, and major federal military bases around the world.

But that's not the point, the point is that just a few minutes ago, these people were urgently transferred here, and the specific reason has not yet been clearly stated.

That CIA director, that Jack Ryan, who always likes to make trouble, what the hell is he doing! Is it true that a world war has broken out, as President Omaher has said?

The door to the command center slid open silently, and Jack Ryan hurried in.

All eyes were on Jack Ryan, and even O'Maher stopped growling, waiting for a definitive answer from the powerful man who runs the world's largest intelligence agency. Despite everyone's anger. Although this person is always a soldier, everyone knows that this guy who is an intelligence analyst has never made a single mistake in judging major events. His gaze is always so sharp, and his analysis is always so profound. Able to find the most important ones from the huge and complex intelligence clues, true or false, and make conclusions that go straight to the essence. And the countermeasures he proposed were always so reasonable, and after many obstacles, they would eventually achieve his goal.

"Gentlemen, something very serious has happened!" Jack Ryan's face was not good-looking, and he looked around at the group of the world's most powerful people in the command center, looking at their expectant eyes. He spoke heavily: "Just twenty-five minutes ago, there was a nuclear explosion on the Fuji Peak of the Jeppen Empire!" ”

"Oh my God!"

"Holy Emperor!"

In the command center, there was an exclamation.

"Is it confirmed?" Omaher asked with an uncontrollable shake and a pale face.

"Yes, Mr. President, it has been confirmed!" Jack Ryan knew about the president's questioning. It wasn't that there were any doubts about his intelligence and conclusions, but only in shock. Subconsciously reacting, he restrained his emotions and said slowly: "Our intelligence officers have infiltrated within 100 kilometers of the scene, witnessed the explosion, and sent back a report on the scene. And a certain amount of data was collected, and a preliminary analysis was made--" Jack Ryan's face was even more difficult to look at:

"Explosive yield, more than 600,000 tons!"

The command center, which was originally a little noisy, suddenly fell silent, and everyone's faces turned pale in an instant.

If it is said. The explosive yield of 10,000 tons and 20,000 tons can be said to be a small nuclear test, but the yield of more than 600,000 tons has only one possibility, that is, this is the explosion of a formed nuclear bomb!

In this huge room, everyone is a politician who is well versed in the world situation, and each of them knows what it means for a country to have a sudden nuclear explosion -- that means that the clouds of nuclear war have hung over the world, and if you are not careful, a great war that is likely to lead to the extinction of mankind will happen in an instant!

"Dididi!" The communicator on Jack Ryan's body rang, and after listening to the brief report over there, Jack Ryan's face suddenly became a little strange, and he froze for a moment before he said to the senior officials with anxious faces: "After further sampling and analysis, we have determined that the yield of this explosion is 500,000 tons, due to the vaporization of the snow on Fuji Peak, and the ejection of radioactive materials from a large number of volcanic rocks into the air, resulting in the initial estimate being too large." Other than that...... In addition......"

Jack Ryan suddenly hesitated, as if he didn't know how to say what was going on.

Omaher and a group of military and political dignitaries of the Commonwealth of Minia stared at Jack Ryan with fierce eyes. Whether the explosive yield is 500,000 tons or 600,000 tons is not a very important matter, but the way Jack Ryan wants to speak and stops, but their hearts involuntarily raise their throats, is there any other secret in this?

"If there's anything, just tell me, Dr. Ryan." Omacher waved his hand weakly, no matter what was hidden behind this, compared to the explosion of a 500,000-ton nuclear bomb, it was actually a trivial matter.

"Yes, Mr. President," Jack Ryan nodded no longer hesitated, and organized his words slightly: "According to the results of the analysis, the plutonium element used to make this nuclear bomb is produced in the first nuclear raw material plant in Dfana, China, and the year of production is 1965!" ”

"It can't be!" Omacher blurted out, but then, looking at the high-ranking officials in the command center who had become as eccentric as Jack Ryan's, Omacher suddenly understood what was going on—this was part of the weapons-grade plutonium that the Commonwealth of Minia had brought to Jeppen during the Cold War and had asked for it many times without success!

This also means that this nuclear bomb is actually using the technology of the Federation, using the raw materials of the Federation, produced by the Federation's most loyal ally, the Jeppon Empire itself, and then thinking of the unprecedented scale of the attack that just happened in Kyoto City, who did it, and the answer is already coming out.

Omah's mouth was wide open, almost swallowing a duck egg. This result was really unexpected, and. Somewhat embarrassing......

"Mr. President, I suggest that the military immediately increase its combat readiness and be prepared for the eventuality," was David Malone, the president's national security adviser. "At the same time, it is necessary to inform our allies of the Lo-European coalition and at the same time increase the level of combat readiness ......"

"Okay, that's it!" Omaher nodded heavily. Yes, whatever the origin of this nuclear bomb and who detonated it, it doesn't really matter now. The important thing is that something has happened, and the subsequent response must not go wrong! looked at the expressions on the faces of the high-ranking officials. Omacher said slowly: "Gentlemen, let's discuss how to solve this big problem in front of us......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On June 10, 2030, a series of events occurred in just one day, leaving the world stunned.

This series of events was uncovered by media and journalists from several countries.

These are the reporters who are constantly paying attention to the military and political changes in the world, and who will do whatever it takes to find out the truth of the facts, and who have a large number of informants and can be called almost pervasive. Suddenly, it was discovered that it is a major military power in the world today. Suddenly, there was an unusual series of transfers and deployments at the same time.

First of all, the Commonwealth of Minia, the world's number one military, political and economic power, suddenly raised its combat readiness level from blue secret to orange from the late night of June 9 to the early morning of June 10 local time, which means that it is only one step away. The country will be able to go to war.

Immediately afterwards, the four nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleets of the Minnesian Federation Navy and the Peace Ocean Fleet quietly sailed out of their home ports, and some of them gathered in the area of the Jeppen Sea in the western part of the Peace Ocean, and the main force of its fleet. It is commonly known as the "first island chain" to assemble a garrison. Anti-submarine planes, early warning planes, and electronic reconnaissance planes on the aircraft carrier frequently take off and land to carry out non-stop scanning and reconnaissance of the surrounding waters.

Almost at the same time, the Lo-Europe Alliance, which is part of the Northern Accord with the Federation of Minia, mixed its navy with the Western Fleet of the Federation of Minia, blockaded the waters around the Baltic Gulf, and suppressed the outlet of the Souss Federation to the sea. Its three armored divisions are lined up on a multiple-kilometer front in the border area of the Sousse Federation to raise their alert.

As one of the main opponents of the Minia Federation, the Seuss Federation quickly made a tough counterattack, and its Night Sea Fleet went out to the Polkas Strait to contain the Luou Alliance naval fleet, and the strategic nuclear-powered submarines belonging to its Western Pacific Fleet disappeared from the bottom of the sea. Half an hour later, the powerful mechanized forces of the Souss Federation quickly moved eastward, gathering between the Western and Arctic Oceans, and the troops were pointing at the Jeppen Empire and the Peaceful Ocean Fleet of the Minia Federation.

Just before these reporters could react, they got the latest news, long before the Commonwealth of Minia made a move, the red republic with the strongest momentum in the world had already made a move: two of the three aircraft carriers he currently possessed, namely the conventional-powered aircraft carrier "Vostok" of the Northern Fleet and the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Chenggong" belonging to the Eastern Fleet, respectively from the Bohuang Sea and the East China Sea to the vicinity of the Jeppen Sea, and its formation forward was the forward of the Peace Ocean Fleet of the Union of Minia. The distance is only a hundred nautical miles. The "Mir," another nuclear-powered aircraft carrier belonging to the Southern Fleet, is heading south in a big way and cruising on the southern seas. At the same time, several strategic nuclear submarines, which had been under satellite surveillance, quietly disappeared into the depths of the vast ocean, their whereabouts unknown. The latest satellite images show that on several large artificial islands and reefs created by the country's reclamation of land in the southern territorial waters, various types of warplanes frequently take off and land, and the military bases are busy.

When the news was shown on television, the whole world was stunned by this extraordinary change - what happened? Is war about to break out?

The dark clouds of war quietly loom over people's hearts and over the world.

Subsequently, when the well-intentioned people gathered these changes together and strung them together, they suddenly found that the huge changes that had taken place in a short period of time were not actually chaotic, but intrinsically related - whether it was the Minia Federation, or the Siuss Federation, whether it was the Luo-Europe Union or the ancient Red Republic, all their actions had a common center, and this center was the economically powerful island country in the western part of the Pacific Ocean - the Jeppen Empire!

In an instant, countless eyes were focused on that small island nation - what happened there?

In a world where information technology is incomparably advanced and computer networks cover every corner, there are few things that can be concealed for a long time, especially those obvious facts. Soon, all the people who cared about this matter got the final answer on TV and on the Internet.

The picture is very unclear, often flickering and skipping frames, making these pictures in front of people's eyes seem a little shoddy, not at all as brilliant as in some big films, but people know that this is only because of the large amount of radiation produced after the explosion of the nuclear bomb, which affects the shooting equipment, and only in this way, this picture is a real, completely untreated live direct hit!

The collapsed high-rise buildings, the people who were burned to the point of being burned and screaming for death, the blazing flames, the huge ball of light, the thick and strong blue-black ring clouds, and the mushroom clouds that rose to the sky and tumbled high in the sky, all announced the fact that a powerful nuclear bomb had exploded not long ago, without any premonition!

"Holy Emperor!"

"What a god!"

"Oh my God!"

"Lord—"

All kinds of exclamations rang out in every corner of the world in an instant, and people stared blankly at the scene in front of them, never believing their eyes.

The exclamation was followed by a complete silence, followed by great fear.

Maybe usually, there are many people who have fantasized about the scene of the explosion of the nuclear bomb, and some people have even shouted the rhetoric of "nuclear peace XXX" more than once, but once this kind of thing really happens, everyone knows that this time it is in big trouble.

As long as they thought of the countries with the most powerful military forces in the world, raising their combat readiness to an extremely high level almost at the same time, thinking of their frequent military movements and deployments, and thinking of the tension and nervous staring at each other between several different camps, their hearts completely fell to the bottom, and the cold air emanated from their every pore, making them shiver involuntarily......
