Chapter 731 Interception of Nuclear Weapons
The reason why General Jerome asked the President for instructions was because only the President had the authority to launch nuclear weapons.
If you pay more attention, you will find that no matter where the President of the United States goes, there is always an officer in a black suit carrying a black suitcase next to him. This suitcase is known as the "nuclear button". Most people think that the "nuclear button" is a red button similar to a doorbell, and the president only needs to press it lightly, and the nuclear missile will be launched, but this is not the case. The "nuclear button" is just a special communication device that can issue an order for a nuclear attack.
Perhaps some of you have heard the term "nuclear suitcase". The foreign correspondents of the former Soviet Union accidentally saw a photo of the President of the United States and an officer standing beside him carrying a leather suitcase in the American media. The reporter noticed that there was a line of English explanation under the photo, so he decided to use "nuclear" when translating. The word suitcase, plain and simple. Politically appropriate, technically justified.
Of course, Russian President Vladimir Putin also has a military officer with a suitcase at his side.
In fact, most leaders of nuclear-armed countries have a suitcase by their side. This thing has become a powerful weapon for traveling at home and visiting other countries! ! !
Xin said, have you seen the "nuclear suitcase"? Our country has nuclear weapons, so I ask you if you are afraid?
When it is time to launch a nuclear weapon, the president needs to open the "nuclear suitcase" and enter the relevant code to issue an order. The code is then converted into a special communication frequency and transmitted to the central command post of the various arms armed with strategic nuclear weapons, and then communicated to those responsible for strategic duty. Troops are finally communicated to each launch pad, including missile bases, nuclear submarines and strategic bombers. Commanders at all levels immediately check with the passwords they keep after receiving the nuclear missile launch password instructions. Each commander and his deputy each held half of the code, and after combining it, they compared it with the code sent by the Supreme Command. After confirming that it was correct, they took out the keys stored on the two of them and activated the launcher.
American White House.
President Obama has opened the "nuclear suitcase" at this moment, which looks like a small computer with a keyboard and a screen...
"The Williams Empire is aggressive, launching wars arbitrarily, and aggressing other countries. Today, the United States will uphold justice for those countries that have been invaded. After the leaders of the eight countries discussed together, they unanimously decided to use nuclear weapons against the Williams Empire!!!" Obama said Said loudly.
Immediately, he entered the password and issued multiple nuclear weapons launch orders, a total of 35 nuclear warheads! ! !
Target 1: All super military factories on the Arabian Peninsula!
Target 2: Iraq, Williams Imperial Army frontline station!
Goal 3: Super UFO base!
The United States' nuclear weapons and missiles have been launched into the sky, how could the Williams Empire not know?
When Henry received the news, his face was full of anger, and he roared: "Intercept the nuclear weapon missile immediately!!!"
In fact, without Henry's order, the Ministry of Defense is already trying to intercept nuclear missiles!
Generally speaking, there are four ways to launch nuclear bombs: 1. Launched from a well, 2. Launched from a submarine, 3. Launched by a motor vehicle, and 4. Airdropped.
In World War II, the United States dispatched B-29 bombers to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but this method is unlikely to appear on the battlefield today, because the possibility of being intercepted is high and the risk is high. Going to get the plane is also a one-time task. Now the more common launch methods are basically machine launch and submarine launch, especially submarine launch is more secretive and highly maneuverable, so the threat is the highest.
Since the Williams empire chose to go to war with the United States, it would naturally consider the possibility of the other party launching nuclear weapons and missiles.
Now advanced countries will be equipped with radioactive material detectors and have powerful radar early warning capabilities. Once nuclear weapons and missiles are launched, they can be clearly detected. At present, there are three main ways for the Williams Empire to intercept nuclear weapon missiles, one is anti-ballistic missile weapons, the other is electromagnetic pulse weapons (microwave weapons), and the third is space-based weapons!
None of them can guarantee 100%, but the combination of the three, the success rate of intercepting nuclear missiles is still very high!
Henry was really angry this time. The United States actually launched 35 nuclear bombs at once, obviously trying to put the Williams Empire to death! The most exasperating thing is that more than two-thirds of the nuclear weapon missiles target the Williams Empire. Once the nuclear weapon explodes, not only the super military factory will be gone, but even the people in the nearby cities will be hard to escape! ! !
The U.S.’s tactic of drawing salary from the bottom is simply too vicious!
At this moment, countries around the world have been shocked!
The United States launched so many nuclear weapons and missiles at once, which is obviously serious. The rise of the Williams Empire has seriously threatened the status of the United States. If it weren't for the fact that the United States still has nuclear weapons as a deterrent, the whole world would have to admit that the Williams Empire is the most powerful country in the world!
Before people came back to their senses, France also launched 5 nuclear missiles!
When Henry heard the news, he couldn't help but let out a icy laugh: "Launching nuclear missiles is fun, isn't it! Believe it or not, I can build nuclear weapons in a month!!!"
The Williams empire has always followed the "Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty". It does not have a nuclear warhead yet, but it is definitely capable of producing nuclear warheads. The third-generation nuclear power plant built by the Williams Empire is the most advanced in the world, and it is easy for the Williams Empire to possess nuclear weapons! ! !
At the moment, Henry didn't care too much, and decided to let the Williams Empire produce nuclear weapons. At the same time, he thought bitterly, since the other party has used nuclear weapons, how can I accept it and be bullied by you? The essence of the "Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty" is actually an unequal treaty. What nuclear weapons are too harmful and damage the environment are purely excuses. Why don't you see that the United States destroys nuclear warheads, but instead conducts tests and develops even more powerful nuclear weapons? Hehe, in the final analysis, the "Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty" has only one purpose, that is, nuclear-armed countries restrict the development of nuclear weapons by non-nuclear countries, so as to maintain their detached status as nuclear-armed countries! ! !
Not to mention, the critical moment now is to intercept the nuclear missiles.
Henry sneered and watched the picture on the LCD screen, and saw that the nuclear weapon missile was suddenly hit by a huge laser during its flight. However, the laser attack did not meet the detonation conditions inside the nuclear weapon missile, so the nuclear weapon missile The missile did not explode, but it was scrapped, and finally fell towards the sea.
"It is true that the Williams Empire did not manufacture nuclear weapons, but we have worked hard to develop space-based weapons designed to counter nuclear missiles!!! See if your missiles are faster, or my laser is faster?!"
As soon as Henry's words fell, less than a minute later, all the nuclear weapon missiles were destroyed while they were still in the air, and no one was spared!
"Hmph, now...it's time for me to fight back!!!" Henry's eyes turned cold, and he ordered, "Order the space-based weapons to lock on the launch positions of 40 nuclear weapons, store energy immediately, and launch destructive lasers!!!"
"yes!!!"
