Chapter 173 An Investigation Report! (Second Update!)
What are you researching?
What exactly did you give me?
After reading those two sentences over and over again, Lin Yi's slender fingers touched the keyboard and sent a few lines of text to the other side.

【Battery!】

However, given the battery's unique performance characteristics, we slightly increased its explosive power.

This is what my colleague told me; I don't know the specifics. If you have a video, you can send it to me.

"Never mind if you don't have it, I'll ask my colleague for it."

[Time to eat!]

Using the excuse of a meal, Lin Yi casually closed the chat window, turned around, and began searching for related news.

Soon, he saw the related report on CCTV-7's midday news.

An elegant and poised host sits in front of the camera, gracefully answering news questions:

According to AFP, America lost a total of 21 M1A2 tanks, nearly 40 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, two Patriot air defense missile systems, one near-ground air defense radar, and some related engineering equipment in this attack.

According to intelligence officials, the total damage from this attack exceeds approximately $30 billion.

"This attack can be considered the largest and most damaging attack America has suffered since the start of the Iraq War in 2003."

Listening to what the host was saying, Lin Yi logged into QQ again, found Little Sader's contact information, and sent him a message.

You've been used as a pawn to settle scores.

After sending the message, he opened a VPN, connected to the network, and crawled the external website, especially the official website of Iraq, to ​​look for relevant information.

Soon, he saw a preliminary report on the incident, along with a short, blurry video, on the Iraqi Defense Forces' official website.

That was a 24-second surveillance video.

The surveillance video was very blurry, and the perspective was directed at the street not far away.

At the 5-second mark, the monitor suddenly lit up. In the upper left corner of the monitor, several bright fireballs could be vaguely seen in front of the left side of the monitor.

Immediately afterwards, several deafening explosions were heard on the monitor.

Seconds after the explosion, surveillance footage showed a sudden gust of wind blowing up the street, swirling up smoke and dust, resembling an apocalyptic scene.

After watching the video, Lin Yi logged off the Iraqi National Defense Forces' official website and began searching for relevant clues on several mainstream social media platforms.

Finally, the emperor pays off.

He found a short video posted by an Iraqi on Facebook.

It's also a video of about 10 seconds.

In the video, these Iraqis appear to be celebrating a birthday and filming. At the 7-second mark, a white light suddenly appears behind them.

From this perspective, several semi-circular spheres suddenly lit up in the darkness.

The moment those white hemispheres lit up, it felt like dawn had broken.

As dawn broke, an explosion came from afar, and when they heard it, the glass behind them shattered suddenly.

Sharp glass, like shrapnel from a cannonball, hurtled straight at the person celebrating their birthday.

One of the pieces of glass hit the camera, knocking it over.

The camera was still recording, and you could hear swearing every now and then.

It's just that the person who swore was lacking in vocabulary and didn't use very vulgar language.

After watching the video, Lin Yi closed the browser, took out the HTC phone again, and found Smith and Eisent's chat group.

Sure enough, both groups were talking about this.

Smith switched between several accounts to send messages, each message asking only one question about Lin Yi.

But Lin Yi didn't reply to the message. After sending it for a while, he stopped sending it.

Eisent, while complaining to others, was also thankful that he was still in Diego Garcia.

Thankfully, he didn't go to Iraq.

At this moment, Lin Yi noticed that there were a few more people in the group.

The names of these people are listed throughout the Pacific region.

As he watched, Lin Yi sent a message:
[Mr. Eisent, are you going to Iraq?]

Eisent: No, I'm not going. It was just to assist. Those idiots in the Central Theater Command said there was no danger, but the moment they finished saying that, the new base under construction was blown up.

I didn't want to go in the first place, and now it's even less likely that I will go.

Eisent: Adolf, long time no see. I haven't seen you send many messages in the group. Are you busy?

Adolf Roosevelt: It's Chinese New Year in China, and many Chinese people come to Japan for tourism. It's a time to make money, so we're busy.

Eisent: Speaking of making money, I just remembered something. There's a business opportunity in Iraq. Do you want to take it?

It's around $50.

I think with your skills, you can easily earn that $50.

Adolf Roosevelt: Mr. Eisent, please speak.

Eisent: If you look at the chat logs from earlier, you should know that the forward base in Ramadi, Iraq, was bombed.

The site doesn't actually have complete construction plans yet.

If you want to make money, just let me know and I'll help you coordinate something.

At your speed, getting this money will be a piece of cake.

Adolf Roosevelt: If you want to make money, then we'll have to trouble Mr. Eisent.

Eisent: OK, I'll go coordinate it.

Alex: Eisent, I saw this person in the group before, but he didn't say much. Is he the technical service provider you found?
Eisent: Yes, he designed the new building at our camp, and it only took two days.

Alex: This is insane! Don't they ever rest? They're insane!
Eisent: That's why they deserve to make money!
Diego Garcia, America Marine Corps temporary camp.

After sending the message, Eisent turned around, stuffed his phone into his pocket, slung his thumbs over his belt, hummed a tune, and swayed as he walked towards the camp command post.

Soon, he met the camp commander, Brigadier General Lagros.

They were transferred from the Hawaiian Islands this time to assist the Central Theater Command.

To ensure the success of the war, Brigadier General Lagros from the Central Theater became the commander of this Marine Corps unit.

Of course, this only applies to combat commanders.

His only responsibility was to formulate plans and liaise with the Central Theater Command.

The final execution of the plan still requires the approval of the Marine Corps before the order can be issued.

Upon reaching Lagros, Eisent gave a standard military salute, then casually asked the brigadier general:

“General Lagros, I heard at dinner the other day that you are looking for a suitable architectural design firm to design military bases in Iraq.”

"I've heard that many designers say the timeframe is too tight and they can't do it, is that right?"

His words successfully attracted Lagros's attention, causing the brigadier general to turn his gaze to him.

Under Lagross's gaze, Eisent said softly:
“I have a very suitable designer here.”

"Our new camp in the Hawaiian Islands was designed by this architect; you've probably heard of them." "I'd like to ask on his behalf if he could come and make money from this."

Lagross lowered his head, pondered for a long time, then raised his head again:

"Send him a copy of the relevant information and ask him to quote the price and time."

"If the price and timing are right, then let them do the design."

"You go ahead and do your work, I have something to do."

The last few words made Eisent beam with joy. He bent over, chuckling as he left the command post. As soon as he stepped out the door, he clasped his thumbs around his belt and slowly hummed a song as he walked away.

In the command center, Lagros picked up the phone and dialed the Qatari frontline command:

"General Kelvin, I have sent the relevant battle plan to your email. Please check your inbox."

…………

At the Qatari frontline command post, Kelvin put down the phone.

Then he picked up a cross from the table with his left hand and another Buddha statue from India with his right hand, looked at them from left to right, put the two things together, and threw them aside.

After throwing those two things away, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed the intelligence department:

“A full eight hours have passed since last night.”

"Isn't eight hours enough time for you to write a report?"

"If that's not enough, should I give you a day off?"

No sooner had he finished speaking in a sarcastic tone than the voice of the head of the intelligence department came through the phone, pleading:

"General, the relevant investigation report has been compiled and I will send it to you immediately."

Snapped!
The phone hangs up.

Less than five minutes after the phone call ended, there was a knock on Kelvin's office door, and then the head of the intelligence department poked his head out:
"General, investigation report!"

Kelvin tapped the table in front of him with his finger, and the head of the intelligence department outside the door bent over and ran over like a cat, placed the investigation report on the table, and stood respectfully to the side, waiting to be questioned.

Stretching, Kelvin picked up the investigation report and slowly began to read it.

[Preliminary Investigation Report on the Ramadi Bombing – Investigator Rogers Alexander]

The investigation report begins not with text, but with several photographs.

In the color photograph, what is shown in front of Kelvin are five pits, each about 10 meters in radius and about 80 centimeters deep, with vitrified bottoms.

The five craters are roughly the same size, which suggests that the bombs used in this attack were of similar power, indicating that they were standard equipment and not something that was created suddenly.

Turn the photo over to page 2.

The second page begins with a sentence in bold.

This was a non-nuclear explosion!

Kelvin put down the report, looked up at the head of the intelligence department, then looked down at the report again.

He knew every single word in the sentence, but when they were put together as a whole, he realized he didn't recognize any of them.

He looked up again and asked the head of the intelligence department:

Are you sure you didn't misspell the word?

"No!" The head of the intelligence department nodded quickly, but then he immediately came to his senses and waved his hands repeatedly:

"I didn't write the report!"

Upon hearing this, Kelvin rolled his eyes and continued reading the report.

Upon arrival at the scene, the chemical defense team immediately activated equipment to conduct a nuclear radiation survey of the explosion site.

After repeated surveys, radiation levels in the area, as indicated by relevant nuclear radiation testing equipment, ranged from 0.08 to 0.14 μSv/h. This value is within the normal range for the Sahara, Syria, and Iraq.

To avoid testing errors, we conducted nuclear radiation tests within a 10-kilometer radius of the explosion site.

The test data is all normal.

[Afterwards, we took a depleted uranium armor-piercing round for testing. The test equipment data showed that it was normal, proving that the equipment was not faulty.]

This confirms that the explosion was not a nuclear explosion.

[After ruling out a nuclear threat, we conducted a new review of the explosion site.]

[In the crater from the explosion, we found some very small shrapnel fragments. Judging from the fragments, these fragments were very thin, or rather, the outer casing of the bomb was very thin.]

[Severe vitrification occurred in the crater left by the explosion.]

[It has been confirmed that the glass was a terrifying 7 millimeters thick, demonstrating the incredibly high temperature at the explosion's epicenter. Due to the extreme heat, the laboratory was unable to collect any debris or identify the explosive device.]

The only weapon capable of producing this effect is a nuclear bomb.

Aside from that, little information was left at the explosion site.

[By reviewing the camp's operational records, it was found that the camp's air defense radar detected the attacking target 30 seconds before the explosion. However, no anti-aircraft missiles were deployed on site, so the radar only issued a warning, and no missiles were used to retaliate against the incoming target.]

Calculations based on the angle of the craters revealed that the bombs originated from the eastern part of the camp. The air defense radar deployed in the city did not detect the corresponding target.

The Ramadi air defense radar station is located in the eastern part of the city.

Therefore, it can be determined that the attack was launched near the city center of Ramadi, specifically near the Euphrates River.

It is highly likely that Arabs were involved.

【…】

In this attack, our side suffered a total loss of 44 soldiers, mainly engineers.

In terms of equipment, our side lost a total of 1 tank, 12 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, 5 Humvees, 6 motorcycles, etc.

The document was rather lengthy, and by the time Kelvin finished reading it, it was already noon. He placed the document on the table and tapped it with his finger:

"Did you see the AFP report? Our losses are based on their figures, plus a little more."

"Remember to carefully review the data before sending it out."

Upon hearing this, the intelligence chief smiled knowingly and nodded repeatedly in response.
"General, rest assured, I will definitely do it."

The intelligence chief, holding the documents in both hands and bowing, asked to leave the office.

The door closed, and Kelvin immediately took out a cell phone, found the only number on it, and dialed it.

As soon as the other end answered, he immediately started swearing:

"Are you Israelis crazy? You even dare to use nuclear weapons?"

"Do you want to see what you've done?"

"We still haven't figured out who did the last explosion, or how they got the bomb in."

“You’re trying to argue that it has nothing to do with you.”

"I'm only doing this because of the money, knowing that this has nothing to do with you."

"But you've only been here a few days and you've already brought nuclear weapons over. What exactly are you trying to do?"
