"Damn it, isn't this restricting personal freedom?"
"Why are we locked up here? I want to go back to the lab!"
An expert stood up and had just finished speaking when
He was then shoved onto the table by the American soldier next to him.
"Experts and scholars, I hope you won't make things difficult for us. We are just following orders!"
Looking at these soldiers, each with a blank expression,
No one in the meeting room dared to resist.
"I never imagined that a Chinese rocket would not only carry two astronauts, but also bring together our entire NASA research and development team!"
If China's rockets successfully land on the moon...
These NASA researchers are probably in for a rough time.
Secretary Cohen returned to his office and immediately dialed the US president's number.
"Mr. President, it's impossible to stop them from launching."
With such a huge international outcry, the other side hasn't responded at all!
"We must prevent them from successfully landing on the moon, no matter what method we use or what cost we pay!"
Once China successfully lands on the moon, the global military landscape will be transformed.
This will shift from land, sea, and air warfare to interstellar warfare, a higher dimension.
To achieve comprehensive superiority across land, sea, and air, the United States paid a price over 200 years.
Countless funds and a huge number of research personnel have been invested.
At this point, is it possible for China to overtake others by taking a shortcut? Absolutely not!
"Mr. President, we now have two specific plans."
However, the second option requires your approval!
The satellite interception could be considered an accident, but the launch of the Trident II ballistic missile...
This is tantamount to a declaration of war.
What plan?
"Satellite interception, and ballistic missile interception."
Upon hearing Secretary Cohen's proposal, the president suddenly fell silent.
Once this plan is signed, he could very well become a sinner for all time.
"Deploy first! Execution must wait for my command!"
"Understood, Mr. President!"
Minister Cohen hung up the phone.
Draft an internal email immediately.
The email issued orders to all overseas military bases and nuclear submarines in the waters surrounding the United States.
Entering a state of combat readiness, they proceeded to various sea areas to prepare for executing orders.
Trident II ballistic missile launch system, ready for deployment!
The email did not specify what the task was.
"Reporting to the captain, this is an encrypted order from higher command."
Inside the USS Seawolf nuclear submarine sailing in the Pacific Ocean.
The communications officer has just received encrypted documents from the White House.
What did the document say?
The captain, smoking a cigar, leaned back in his seat on the command platform.
This marks the third time in several years that the Seawolf nuclear submarine has conducted a Pacific patrol mission.
They've been underwater for over a month and a half.
It has been following the aircraft carrier "Mantis Shrimp" which is currently conducting training missions around the waters of China.
"The document says that the Trident II ballistic missile launch system has entered a state of combat readiness and is on standby!"
However, it didn't specify the exact coordinates or the target!
"Trident II ballistic missile launch system, entering standby mode?"
The captain snatched the newly printed document from the communications officer's hand.
All the officers in the control room also looked towards the captain.
The Trident II missile is currently the most powerful sea-based submarine-launched missile in the world.
With a range of up to 12,000 kilometers, this system, since its development and deployment,
Aside from military exercises, this is the first time we've entered a standby state while on a mission.
The pressure was immense.
"Captain, is this going to turn into a fight?"
"If there's going to be a war, it should be in the Middle East. What does it have to do with our Pacific Fleet? Hasn't China been stirring up trouble in the Middle East lately?"
"Is this some kind of attack on China's inland areas?"
"If this shell goes off, won't China drop hundreds of nuclear warheads on our homeland? Is this some kind of secret exercise?"
The captain had no idea what the purpose of this encrypted file was.
However, military orders cannot be disobeyed; the only recourse was to notify all non-commissioned officers to enter a state of combat readiness...
"No one is allowed to launch without my order, do you understand?"
"YES SIR!!! Sir!"
Meanwhile, nearly 50 nuclear submarines are distributed across major military bases around the world.
Everyone received the encrypted email file.
All have entered a state of combat readiness.
...
The next day, the sky was cloudless.
Inside the Houyi launch base,
Engineers are making final launch preparations for the Gravity rocket in preparation for the 9 p.m. launch.
And inspections of various systems.
The USS Mantis Shrimp aircraft carrier was conducting exercises in the Pacific Ocean at that time.
An American nuclear submarine has been detected, and the country has entered a state of combat readiness.
They used to follow behind me, but now they've become unusually active.
The captain of the aircraft carrier USS Mantis Shrimp immediately reported this news to Commander Yuan.
Commander Yuan, accompanied by Commander Tang and Commander Wang, hurriedly arrived at Su Lin's office.
"Principal Su, something bad has happened! I feel like the other side knows about our operation!"
"Commander Yuan, did you drink too much last night? Our Northern Military Region has already scheduled the launch."
The launch site has been announced; how could the other side not know?
Commander Yuan patted his head.
"No, it's that the other side may have already taken measures. This is our aircraft carrier, the 'Mantis Shrimp'."
Latest intelligence from sonar systems in the Pacific Ocean!
Commander Yuan handed the intelligence to Su Lin.
It's not just the Seawolf nuclear submarine that has entered a state of combat readiness.
There are also the USS Olympia and the USS Louisville, both nuclear-powered attack submarines.
The Poseidon nuclear-powered attack submarine, one of many nuclear submarines deployed at various military bases in Southeast Asia.
All equipment was activated, and the aircraft left the corresponding port, entering the Pacific Ocean.
"Four nuclear submarines were deployed at once???"
This was the first time Commander Tang had ever seen such a large scene.
"There are more than four; these are just the four we have intelligence on. We still don't know what's going on in the Pacific Ocean."
Just how many nuclear submarines has the US deployed?!
"Commander Yuan, do you mean that you monitored four ships, and all four were deployed and put on combat readiness?"
That's equivalent to a 100% mobilization rate!
Currently, the United States has deployed up to approximately 50 nuclear submarines at its overseas military bases around the world.
"This is the data we've observed so far. Commander Wang, how's the situation on your end?"
Besides the Eastern Theater Command, the Southern Theater Command is also located in the South China Sea and near Taiwan.
They frequently conduct fleet patrols, carrying out reconnaissance missions against US aircraft carrier fleets and nuclear submarines.
"Let me ask first!"
Commander Wang took out his phone and called the Southern Military Region headquarters.
"Okay, I understand!"
As soon as he hung up the phone, his expression became very serious.
