Chapter 280
Hurricane Milton, which destroyed a state of the Bald Eagle Empire not long ago and forced the empire to carry out "illegal rescue", was only a Category 5 hurricane.
Even so, it has been called the storm of the century by the Bald Eagle.
As for the Category 6 hurricane, there was no corresponding standard before.
Of course, it is now available.
When a storm cannot be measured by the current standard, the new standard will be updated in real time.
And now, this Bald Eagle Empire may even be the first Category 6 hurricane in human history. It will land in the power center of this empire in ten minutes at most.
Xinghen, who caused all this, just lightly informed the high-level officials of the Bald Eagle Empire what they needed to do after appearing. There was no intention of discussion or questioning. After speaking, he left directly.
Only a group of Bald Eagle high-level officials were left in the wind.
Of course, there were also the surrounding residents who began to flee frantically after receiving the emergency warning.
Even the reporters who came to the door of the Black Palace and the Secret Service agents stationed at the White House were a little bit nervous at this time. They looked at the increasingly dense and heavy black clouds in the direction of the coast with worry. Some reporters even asked the photographers to carry the camera and run away quickly.
Just kidding, who knows how destructive a Category 6 hurricane will be. Although explosive news is good, life is more important.
Moreover, since the emergence of the Tianyu Group, there seems to be no shortage of explosive news in this world.
The fact that the Bald Eagle Commander was interrupted a second before pressing the nuclear weapon launch button seems to be just that, and it is a bit unworthy to sacrifice his life.
Looking at the chaotic Black Palace in front of him, Lao Deng, who had not said a word since Xinghen appeared, seemed to have come back to his senses. He calmly pulled his hand back from the nuclear weapon launch box and looked at the assistant behind him:
"Shouldn't this be pressed?"
The assistant stared at the box for a moment, suddenly stepped in front of Lao Deng, and pressed the case that represented the one-click restart of Blue Star directly.
Then... can't touch it.
"Sure enough!" The assistant seemed to have expected it, and looked at Lao Deng with a wry smile:
"Whether it is necessary or not, we can't press it anymore. Of course, if you really want to launch this thing, you can also sign a presidential order and have someone send it to the nuclear missile launch base."
"But I guess you probably don't want to do that."
Lao Deng narrowed his eyes and looked at the assistant in front of him who seemed to have no respect for him as the commander-in-chief, and snorted coldly:
"The storm is coming, open the underground shelter of the Black Palace."
Because he was too old and it was difficult for him to be re-elected, he had long been abandoned by his faction.
Although he was nominally sitting in the position of the commander-in-chief, as long as this period of time was over, his position would be immediately replaced.
As for whether the person who replaced him was someone from his current faction, it was hard to say.
However, when people leave, the tea gets cold, and when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. This is a universal truth in any country.
He has lost power, and the assistant in front of him is still young and strong. When he was still in power, this assistant was disrespectful from time to time, let alone now.
Of course, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he can't say much now.
Just like being dragged here to do something that will inevitably be infamous for thousands of years, he can only do it. Facing the disrespect and provocation of the assistant, he can only endure it.
"Of course, in such a big storm, staying in the Black Palace may not guarantee your safety. It's too late to take your commander-in-chief's special plane now. The underground shelter in the Black Palace is obviously the best choice." The assistant said indifferently.
Although the storm is big, for an imperial high-ranking like him, just go to the underground shelter.
Anyway, it's just a storm, not an earthquake.
"What are you going to do?" Lao Deng asked while moving to the shelter.
"What do you mean?"
"What that woman just said."
"......"
The most afraid of the air suddenly being quiet.
The assistant was directly asked by this question.
What to do? What can he do?
Didn't you see that the button of this nuclear weapon box can't be pressed?
If they just move, a Category 6 hurricane will blow over, and the whole city will be destroyed in a minute. You want to fight with your head? Surrender! Just agree to whatever they say, isn't it over?
However, although this is the truth, as a senior official of the Bald Eagle, he certainly can't say a word. This kind of surrender is the one who speaks and takes the blame.
Therefore, facing the questioning of the commander-in-chief in front of him, the assistant just looked at his nose and pretended not to hear it.
Although Lao Deng has not retired yet, as the commander-in-chief, he is fully capable of letting his assistant pack up and leave, but the worst case is that he will be unemployed at home for a few months and wait for the next commander-in-chief to come up.
Compared with proposing a big pot like surrender, let alone offending the commander-in-chief who is about to step down and being unemployed for a period of time, it is impossible to say this even if he quits his job directly.
No matter how you look at it, Lao Deng, who has lost power within the faction and will soon be forced out of the Black Palace and will most likely not live for a few more years, is the most suitable candidate to take the blame.
And he is now the commander-in-chief anyway, and it is completely legal for him to decide on such a major matter.
Lao Deng obviously knew his fate. After asking, he saw that the assistant did not speak, so he sneered.
While the Black Palace's high-level officials were scheming against each other, the entire Bald Eagle Empire's power center, Huadu Special District, was already shrouded in a storm.
The terrifying gale that was difficult to rate hit the densely populated city like a physical object.
Because the hurricane appeared too suddenly, the people here had less than ten minutes to react and escape. Naturally, the streets were not completely evacuated at this time, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a mess.
In the chaos, some people fled in panic and went to the shops on both sides of the road to try to avoid the strong wind.
Some people were still sitting in the car because of the traffic jam, and they cursed at the long queue in front of them.
There were also people who were still watching the excitement when the disaster was about to happen, standing on the side of the road with their mobile phones to shoot the chaos on the street, while filming with passionate commentary, and even standing in front of the camera to make funny faces.
More people have already hidden in the shops on both sides of the road, and some people have not even come down from the high-rise buildings, and they don't care about the strong wind that is about to sweep over.
After all, it is not news that a hurricane hits here. Although the weather bureau of the Bald Eagle Empire said that this hurricane is unprecedented, many people still do not take it seriously, thinking that no matter what the wind is, it will be fine if they hide in the building.
Until...
A strong wind swept by, and dozens of people who were just in the wind were swept from the ground to the sky, and then fell down and turned into a pool of meat.
