In the Pentagon conference room, the conference tables are full.Sitting here at this moment is almost the core of the American power class.
Not only senior officials of the Department of Defense, but also rarely visited the conference room by White House politicians.
From the left hand side of Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, he was then President Hillary, her chief of staff, and the White House's national security adviser.
The atmosphere at the conference table was very depressing, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking.
At this time, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a young man in a suit held a thick stack of documents in his hand, and the meteor walked in with great strides.
Morel, you're late.Ashton Carter said dissatisfied.
Sorry, it took some time to print these materials... Where is my seat?
There are a lot of people today.Sighing, Mr. Carter looked at the assistant standing beside him and brought a chair for Mr. Morel.
OKThe assistant nodded and turned around and walked out the door.
Hillary exchanged gazes with her chief of staff and then looked at Ashton.
Since everyone has arrived, can we start?
sure.Ashton nodded and looked at Morel, then, hurry up and start from the page of Guam Military Base.
OK, boss.Morel immediately turned the document to the report page of the Guam military base. He didn't care about having no chairs, so he stood at the table and started to read. At 3 a.m. on July 24, the Dolphin-10 ballistic missile of the Star Ring Trade was launched from the Western Pacific submarine missile well. When the missile rose to the stratosphere, it briefly appeared on the THAAD anti-missile system deployed at the Guam military base...
A brief appearance?Hillary raised her eyebrows, and the pen gently tapped the notebook, interrupting Morel's speech. I wonder how many minutes this short period of time is?
After hearing this question, Morel's expression suddenly became awkward, and he glanced at his immediate boss Ashton with a subtle glance.
However, the latter did not understand and just said impatiently.
The President asks you questions, don't waste our time.
yes……
Morel nodded quickly and looked at Hillary. After hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind to tell everyone here the truth.
Two seconds.
The meeting room became quiet.
Although it has always been quiet, Morel felt a dead silence at this moment.
……Thanks.Taking the chair from the assistant, Morel breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him in a low voice, and sat on the chair.
He really didn't want to bear the feeling of focusing his eyes on his body for a second.
The silence lasted for a while on the conference table before Hillary broke the silence and looked at Ashton and spoke.
The Ministry of Defense's budget is not enough, tell me that there is no need to use small tricks at such meetings.
Ashton was confused and had not yet come back to his senses from the number two seconds.
Two seconds?
How is this possible!
Since the Moro War of Independence, Star Ring Trade forced the United States to make concessions with intercontinental missiles, and the United States has strengthened its anti-missile deployment to Guam military bases.
Not only did the most advanced THAAD system be deployed at the Guam military base, but the radar of the original Patriot 3 air defense system was also updated...
However, now, the head of the Guam military base told him that they had only observed for two seconds?
And it is also the propulsion acceleration stage that is most easily captured by radar and intercepted by missiles, rising from launch point to low orbit!
Seeing that his boss had not spoken for a long time, Morel thought he needed to help his boss, so he continued to speak with a tough bullet.
No, this has nothing to do with the budget... Dolphin-10 anti-detection level is very high.Not only us, our ally Japan didn't even notice that the Star Ring Trade used ballistic missiles...
What exactly do you do with a budget of $600 billion every year?Why can't I even catch the missiles of a small country?A White House official couldn't help but scold.
This cannot be blamed entirely on us!We are developing anti-missile technology, and they are also upgrading ballistic missile technology!
Haha, let’s explain to the taxpayer!
……
There was a quarrel at the conference table, but Hillary, who spoke first, fell into silence at this time.
Using an intercontinental missile to shoot a neighboring country that is only a few hundred kilometers apart is no different from using cannons to hit mosquitoes.
It is obvious that the drunkard's intention of Star Ring Trade is not to drink.
It is obviously aiming at the Philippines, but it actually provokes the THAAD system's reconnaissance capabilities.
If you can't even find the trace of a missile, let alone anti-missiles.
Hillary suddenly pessimistically discovered that Star Ring Trade seems to be ahead of the United States, whether it is EMP or missile technology.
The tragic situation in Manila has proved the terrifying lethality of EMP weapons to modern civilization.
The entire city retreated to the Stone Age overnight, from traffic to social order, and was destroyed.
There is no pollution residue, and no one will even die, but the consequences are even more terrifying than killing tens of thousands of people.
If EMP detonates over Los Angeles, Boston, or even Washington…
Hillary couldn't imagine it, but there was one thing that was certain.
The economy of the entire world will decline for at least twenty years.
Since the Cuban missile crisis, the national security situation in the United States has never been so severe...
Increase the R&D budget for anti-EMP technology immediately!I don't want to wait until the EMP strike arrives on our heads, only tanks and armored vehicles can be moved by the entire country.There is also an anti-missile system!If THAAD is no longer possible, then we will replace THAAD!Within five months, I asked the Pentagon to come up with a solution!If not, then change the person.Hillary stared at Ashton and said in a joking tone.
The latter held his breath and nodded stiffly with his neck.
I promise.
Well, today's meeting is over.Hillary stood up.
Seeing that Hillary was about to leave the seat, Morel, who had not completed the report, hurriedly said.
Wait, there are also network security issues!About Starring Trade In the cyber attack on the Philippines, we sent cybersecurity experts to assist the Philippine government in remote defense
Then I lost, right?Hillary looked at Morel with a smile on her face, crow's feet and squinting eyes made a slit. I don't want to hear you report on your incompetence. I hope you can come up with a solution as soon as possible!
Yes... After swallowing, Morel nodded stiffly.
Immediately afterwards, Hillary looked at his chief of staff.
Help me adjust the schedule, turn off the afternoon and evening activities, and spare the rest of the day.I have to go to the United Nations in a while, EMP weapons must be restricted.I'll go to the CIA later and have Naomi Maden wait for me in the office.
OKThe chief of staff nodded.
In addition, we must talk to Jiang Chen when sending John Kerry to Manila.
Not only senior officials of the Department of Defense, but also rarely visited the conference room by White House politicians.
From the left hand side of Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, he was then President Hillary, her chief of staff, and the White House's national security adviser.
