Chapter 853 District 7!

US Department of Defense, Pentagon!

Tonight, there are also many staff working all night!

The multiple attacks and invasion incidents that have occurred in the past two days have seriously threatened national security and made the United States enter a state of comprehensive and high combat readiness!

"China and Russia are very close to our Western Pacific theater of operations, and we think the situation will soon be out of our control!"

In a conference room inside the command center, Secretary of Defense John Keller and others looked solemn.

Previous base attacks and the invasion of Air Force One have put their suspicions on other countries with strained ties.

Although Maggie Madsen and Glenn Whitman were arrested, the Department of Defense did not pay attention to the scattered information they deciphered. After all, it was just some fragmentary fragments without any practical significance.

And Maggie Madsen's alien remarks were dismissed as nonsense from beginning to end.

In response to further military attacks that may come, they have dispatched aircraft carrier formations to the Persian Gulf and the Yellow Sea for alert.

But at the same time, their sudden and large-scale military mobilization has also made all countries tense, and many countries have responded one after another, and the international situation has become more and more tense. war!

After the meeting, Secretary of Defense John Keller came out of the conference room, and a group of middle and senior officers at least at the level of major surrounded him, constantly reporting and asking for various affairs.

While dealing with one thing, John Keller walked quickly towards the command area surrounded by everyone.

The conference room was next to the gate of the command center, and just after John Keller had just walked a few steps, a tall, thin middle-aged white man with a bushy beard and a suitcase walked into the command center from the gate behind him.

Seeing John Keller surrounded by everyone, the middle-aged man stopped him directly.

"Mr. Minister."

Hearing this, John Keller couldn't help but stop and turned to look behind him.

"I'm Tom Banachek and I belong to the Seventh District, Advanced Research Department!"

"Never heard of it!"

John Keller frowned and shook his head.

"I'm very busy now, Tom, and I'm sure you can see it."

After speaking, John Keller stopped paying attention to the guy who appeared out of nowhere, and turned around and continued to walk towards the command area. Now that the situation is tense, he must keep abreast of all the situation at all times, and he has no time to pay attention to others.

However, just as he walked quickly to the passage in the command area, the many monitors hanging on the wall suddenly lost their images one after another.

"what happened?"

"do not know!"

...

In the face of this sudden situation, many staff in the command center became panicked and noisy, and John Keller's face was equally stunned.

Under his gaze, all the computers and display screens in the command center lost their pictures, either blue screen or flashing randomly.

John Keller's face also became a little flustered.

This has never happened in the history of the Pentagon, and it's clearly more than a simple computer glitch!

"Briefing officer! Come out and say something!"

John Keller shouted at the chaotic crew below.

"All work has been interrupted, sir!"

A bald lieutenant colonel turned to report to him.

"I can see it!"

John Keller said bluntly.

At this moment, another major wearing glasses suddenly remembered something, raised his head suddenly and said to John Keller.

"That virus is used to interrupt all operations!"

...

Seeing that the command center was in chaos and busyness, and no one took care of him, Tom Banachek from District 7, who was left aside, pursed his lips and said to himself.

"I'm going to sit there."

But apparently no one paid attention to him at this time. Several officers in charge were discussing the current situation together. John Keller came down from the passage and walked to several officers, frowning and asking in a deep voice.

"What do you mean by virus interrupting work?"

At this time, several people have basically figured out the situation, and the bald lieutenant colonel immediately explained.

"They used our website to spread the virus all over the world. This is a global network outage. We have been disconnected from satellite and fixed lines around the world!"

John Keller couldn't help rubbing his neck when he heard the words, and walked solemnly to the table next to him.

"You mean I can't call my home from this phone?"

John Keller said and grabbed the phone on the table and started dialing, but he stopped after a few clicks, because the phone was always busy and unresponsive.

John Keller unbelievingly took out his mobile phone, but there was no response. As the lieutenant colonel said, all the networks were cut off!

John Keller's face became extremely solemn!

The network was cut off, meaning they lost contact with the outside world, including their most powerful aircraft carrier fleet and military bases located everywhere!

The Pentagon is the command center of all U.S. military forces and the brain of the U.S. military. Now, the nerves in the brain have been cut off, and the U.S. military has lost its command. At this time, the United States has completely lost its defense force!

Once attacked, the consequences are unimaginable!

The situation is unprecedentedly severe, and they are completely helpless and helpless!

Just when John Keller's face was sinking, but there was nothing he could do, Tom Banachek, who was sitting on the lounge chair by the wall, suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Minister, I am here by order of the President."

Tom Banachek's words caught the attention of John Keller and the other officers, who turned to him in unison.

Tom Banachek said, placing the suitcase that he had been carrying on his knees, and patted it twice.

"You need to see what's in my suitcase."

In a separate conference room in the command center, only Tom Banachek and John Keller sat in it.

The suitcase that he had been holding in his hand was finally opened.

After entering a long string of complex passwords on a keyboard in the box, a seemingly ordinary memory card finally popped out.

As he inserted the memory card into the computer, Tom Banachek said.

"You have to know that there are things you don't understand right away."

Tom Banachek gave John Keller a shot first, because a lot of what he was going to tell him next sounded like a fantasy!

And John Keller listened to him with a serious face.

"The seventh district is a special department within the government."

"It was established eighty years ago by secret order from President Hoover."
