Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from the Black Myth

Chapter 90 I have successfully established a connection, Mr. President
This means that the thousands of nuclear warheads in the United States are now on standby, ready to be launched at any time at the president's command to deal with the impending deadly threat.

It can be said that since the Cold War, the world has never been so close to a nuclear war that could destroy the world - if the Kassel Academy and the Secret Party had not broken with convention and made direct contact with the US top leaders.

"This is simply crazy... We must make them clearly aware that anyone who dares to threaten the national security of the United States will, without exception, pay an extremely heavy price!" In the conference room of the White House bunker, the Secretary of Defense's face, distorted by anger, looked particularly hideous under the dim light. His roar echoed in the conference room like thunder, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

"Oh my God, I really can't imagine what a tragic and irreparable human catastrophe would be waiting for us if we had not obtained that crucial intelligence in advance and failed to evacuate the innocent people in Chicago to a safe area in time..." The Secretary of State's voice trembled with deep fear and dread. He lowered his head, his hands clenched together, as if he was still immersed in the horrific scenes that might happen, unable to extricate himself.

At this moment, the American president was lost in deep thought, his face so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He sat at the head of the conference table with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed, as if he was engaged in a fierce struggle and decision deep in his heart.

Behind his back stands quietly the most core and critical nuclear weapons control system in the White House bunker. It is like a silent guardian, ready to respond to the president's orders at any time and launch any nuclear warhead to any corner of the earth.

The entire conference room was filled with a depressing and tense atmosphere. Everyone was silently waiting for the president's decision, because they knew that this decision would not only determine the fate of the United States, but would also profoundly affect the direction of the entire world.

"My dear colleagues, I have something in my heart that is really hard to understand. I have suppressed it for a long time, but now I have to speak it out." The president, who had been silent as if waiting for a critical moment, finally spoke slowly, breaking the solemn silence in the conference room. "Those who launched the attack clearly learned through various channels that we had urgently and orderly evacuated all innocent people in Chicago and ensured their safety. However, they still insisted on choosing to launch a powerful intercontinental missile in that deserted city...

I really can't figure out the logic behind this. Is this just a complicated trick to cover up their true intentions? Or do they actually not want to cause too many casualties and push the situation to the brink of being completely irreversible and out of control? What is their purpose?"

"Mr. President, these questions of yours not only trouble you, but also deeply trouble each of us." The intelligence director gently adjusted the slightly old glasses on his nose, his eyes flashing with deep worry about the situation. "In this sudden and shocking nuclear attack, the biggest problem that shrouds our hearts like a fog and keeps us awake at night is the purpose and deep motivation behind their actions... I have repeatedly thought about it, racked my brains, and used all the power of the intelligence department, but I still can't find a reasonable explanation.

What benefit can such a reckless and almost crazy behavior bring to them? Is it to show power? Or is there another purpose?"

The atmosphere in the conference room froze again, as if covered by a thick layer of frost, and fell into a deathly silence. Everyone's heartbeat and breathing sounded particularly clear in this oppressive atmosphere. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and all eyes were focused on the center of the conference table. There was nothing there, but it carried the weight of the fate of the entire country and even the world.

In any case, the decision makers are faced with an unavoidable and extremely difficult problem: whether to launch a nuclear counterattack, and if so, how to implement this action accurately and effectively. This is not only related to the dignity and security of the country, but also affects the fate of countless families. Every decision may trigger a chain reaction and change the course of history. At this moment, the entire American society seems to have been thrown into an emotional bomb, completely plunged into chaos and turmoil, like a pot of porridge heated by a raging fire, constantly rolling and boiling, exuding a breath of uneasiness and anxiety.

On the streets, whether it was the families in front of the TV screens or the pedestrians on the streets, all expressed extreme panic and anger about this nuclear strike.

The emotions of the people are like a lit powder keg, ready to explode at any moment. They urgently hope that the US government can take quick and forceful action, not only to protect their lives and safety, but also to demonstrate America's determination and strength to the world through a powerful nuclear counterattack, so that those crazy countries that dare to provoke will understand that any invasion will pay an unbearable price, and even make them disappear completely from the map of the earth, as a defense of peace and a call for justice.

What is even more complicated is that if a nuclear counterattack is really carried out, there will also be a large number of innocent people in the two countries that provoked the incident. These people did not participate in the war and had no choice, but had to endure the suffering brought by the war.

If those 100 intercontinental missiles really only fell on the city of Chicago, due to timely evacuation, there would not be many casualties. But on the other hand, if the US nuclear bombs fell on those countries, the number of casualties would be unimaginable. It would be a catastrophic catastrophe, countless families would be broken, and countless lives would be lost.

American policymakers may not care about these moral principles, as nuclear retaliation is a matter of course. However, any form of nuclear retaliation may trigger a larger-scale nuclear conflict or even lead to the destruction of human civilization, which is something they have to think carefully about.

At this critical moment when everyone was hesitant, suddenly, all the electronic screens in the conference room and the combat command room on the other side began to flicker, and data streams surged like a tide, displaying warnings that the system had been illegally invaded.

These top American leaders did not know that just as they retreated into the White House bunker for a meeting, Norma had already begun invisibly infiltrating the electronic system firewall in the bunker.

At this moment, Norma has completely broken through this thick firewall. Kassel College has successfully established a connection with the conference room where the top leaders gathered. The leader of the secret party, Hilbert Jean Angers, will be able to have a direct conversation with the top leaders of the United States.
