Wedges Endgame
North American Air Defense Command Rocky Mountain Command Center Underground Nuclear Protection Bullet
This world's largest underground military facility is hidden deep under the heavy rock formations of the Rocky Mountains in North America. The command center hall, which was built after hollowing out the entire mountain belly, is reminiscent of hard science fiction movies produced in the last century. Those personal computers that are not very harmonious with the surrounding décor backgrounds, as well as various precision instruments and equipment that are absolutely unacceptable to the names of ordinary people, are even more dazzling and awe-inspiring.
Located in the middle of this hall is a holographic projection globe that all visitors must look up to see its full view. This globe filled with the aura of the earth's overlord still maintains its usual leisurely pace and maintains its rotation at an extremely slow and orderly speed.
Suddenly, in some unknown way, a commotion suddenly broke out in a corner of the usually organized lobby. A lieutenant officer who looked like a newly graduated college student jumped up from his seat as if he was electrocuted. His actions immediately attracted the attention of his colleagues around him. Then, the young officer realized his misconduct and hurriedly took off his headset and saluted the commander who cast doubts and scrutiny eyes not far away. Then the young lieutenant said in a strange tone because of his nervousness:
"Sir, there is an abnormality in radar data at the Alaska base. The data shows that the polar bear fired more than a thousand intercontinental missiles to North America five minutes ago and was flying towards the homeland. The radar at the Greenland base shows that European allies acted as nuclear submarines on the Atlantic strategic duty and launched submarine-based ballistic missiles to the east. Sir, perhaps the nuclear counterattack has begun."
The elderly commander with silver hair, with old and wrinkled cheeks, still had the majesty and resolute temperament that a soldier should have. The strip scars vaguely visible on his cheeks marked the commander's rich qualifications for many years of military service. When he heard the emergency reported by his subordinates, even if the commander experienced countless major events in his life, he could not help but change his expression and immediately shouted:
"Lieutenant, don't worry about Greenland, immediately ask the Alaska base to verify the authenticity of the information, immediately."
"Yes, sir."
The young lieutenant sat back in front of his computer, typing his fingers on the keyboard with his fingers. About two minutes later, his nervousness seemed to ease, he forced a smile and stood up and said:
"Sir, the Alaska base reported that there was an unknown fault in the computer system. The missile target currently displayed by the radar is very likely to be a false alarm caused by the system failure."
Hearing the sound, the commander, whose facial skin was already extremely tense, heard the latest reply, and his almost stiff body suddenly relaxed. However, after such tossing, he seemed to look a few years older. The commander clenched his fists and hit the metal podium hard, and said loudly in anger:
"Damn it, it's the third time this week. Are the hackers who have mad cow disease or the technical problems caused by computer viruses? Are the shit experts in the technology department throwing taxpayers' money into the Atlantic Ocean? The third time in a week, if this continues, I'm going crazy."
Just as the people in the hall relaxed, they began to greet the female immediate relatives of the technicians who were eating rice. The young lieutenant who had just lied about military affairs was now sweeping over the computer screen in front of him. Suddenly, his expression became extremely strange, like a thirsty fish. The lieutenant's lips opened and closed continuously but could not make any sound, as if he was in a nightmare. After a while of gasping, the young officer slowly stood up, his eyes were silent, and said incoherently:
"No, sir, there was a message coming from the Alaska base, they were attacked... The last message came: This is not an exercise, a repetition, this is not an act... Was World War III started?"
When he said this, the lieutenant's face suddenly became paler than the dead in the morgue. As soon as the shocking news came out, the hall immediately became silence like death. After a few seconds of silence, the lieutenant looked at the commander and murmured almost desperately:
"Sir, all signals from the Alaska base are interrupted...what should we do, sir?"
The commander experienced countless crises in his life. He was almost killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq, injured and hospitalized by rocket fragments in Afghanistan, and went to Southeast Asia for a secret mission, and was sniped by enemy gunmen, and almost died every time. His life was to jump into rumba with the old enemy of Death, the god of death. However, at this time, cold sweats could not be stopped on his forehead. He tried his best to calm down the rhythm of his breathing. The commander barely calmed down his emotions. He turned around and said to the deputy next to him:
"Tommy, connect to the red line, I will report to the President... I will immediately enter the red alert state. May the merciful and omnipotent Lord bless America, may the Lord forgive our sins, Amen!"
In the midst of the noisy and chaos in the hall, countless small red dots appeared on the giant projection display in the command center. Everyone present understood that these seemingly harmless red dots are intercontinental missile thrusters that are spraying tail flames. At this moment, they are flickering in strange places above the color strips of different countries and sea areas in the world and moving rapidly. From time to time, red dots quietly disappear on the map where strategic targets such as large and medium-sized cities, military bases, transportation hubs and dams are marked. Then more red dots rise in the air, spreading towards all directions and towards the whole world.
This is the latest detection result sent by the global strategic early warning satellite, but no one cares at all now. Everyone is in a state of hysteria, and a few awake people cover their faces with pain.
