Chapter 535 In the face of the spread of panic

The outbreak of a nuclear bomb with an equivalent of less than 10,000 tons in eastern Afghanistan is not only as powerful as killing more than 10,000 people and injuring tens of thousands of people. With the explosion of this nuclear bomb, the real power and influence will affect the whole world.

At the first time of the news of the nuclear explosion, including the New York Stock Exchange, the world's largest exchange, the stock index involving the financial industry, public utilities, transportation and other industries plummeted, while stocks related to mineral resources such as crude oil and food soared all the way.

With billions of people in the world, as long as people know something about the outside world, they all feel the heaviness of the black clouds.

followed, including Russia, China and European countries announcing the increase of military vigilance at the same time, and the anti-terrorism departments and intelligence departments of each country are making every effort to investigate any suspicious places in the country. Before figuring out the source of the nuclear warhead that exploded in Afghanistan, all countries did not dare to take it lightly, because the nuclear bomb could be detonated in Afghanistan and could be detonated in any corner of the world.

After being authorized by the parliament, U.S. President Bush announced that the U.S. alert level had been raised from yellow to red, which is the highest alert. At the same time, the 2,700 intercontinental missiles deployed by the U.S. Air Force were immediately on standby. Twelve of the 14 Ohio-class nuclear submarines of the U.S. Navy, which are in cruise condition at any time, are also hidden into the ocean. The most important thing is that since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. Air Force strategic bombers with nuclear warheads have been restarted. Including half of the 20 B-2A bombers and one-third of the 93 B-52 strategic bombers all carry W80-1 nuclear warhead air-launched cruise missiles and B61 series drilling nuclear warheads.

As the only United States in the world that uses nuclear weapons for actual combat, it may have never thought that one day a nuclear warhead would explode where the American flag flutters. Even if the equivalent of this nuclear warhead is small and the place of explosion is not in the United States, the American political axe, including the American people, understand one thing: the United States has been hit by a nuclear attack!

Panic spreads in American society, and both the rich and middle class, and even those street vagrants pass on the panic of the outbreak of the nuclear war. Everyone knows that the United States will not be safe in a nuclear war. Even if the U.S. political axe promises that the Aegis system can intercept all missiles attacking the United States, no one will put their lives on the promise of the political axe.

Major transportation transit stations in the United States, including land, sea and air airports, railway stations, and ports, are crowded with American people. The FBI, which is caught in the crowd to prevent terrorist attacks, and the National Guard, which drives armored vehicles to guard the streets, are also helpless for these nearly crazy people.

A series of developments in the United States naturally cause reactions around the world. At the same time, the nuclear weapons powers secretly issued orders for the strategic forces to raise their vigilance. However, compared with the attacked United States, the societies of other countries are relatively stable, and at least there will be no chaotic situation where tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people flock to the streets.

In order to stabilize the increasingly unstable situation, the five permanent heads of the United Nations are having a video conversation at the first time. At this moment, no one is considering anything else. They are anxious to find out the nuclear attack and give the people the truth to prevent the spread of the panic of the nuclear war.

After a series of urgent consultations among the major countries, it was unanimously decided to jointly guarantee that the nuclear weapons attack was only an accident, and the five major nuclear weapons countries had no intention of triggering a nuclear war. With the clear assurances of the world's five major nuclear weapons countries, the global fear of the nuclear war has gradually eased. After all, modern people are thoughtful and rational. It is clear that as long as the five nuclear weapons countries do not use nuclear weapons against each other, the global nuclear war will never break out.

However, this joint statement only eased the current situation. If you want to fully return to normal, in addition to time, you have to show enough evidence that this nuclear weapons is only a move by a crazy force or individual.

So, all countries in the world are looking at Afghanistan and the countries around Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, there are the nests of Taliban and al-Qaeda. Around Afghanistan, there are Pakistan, a nuclear-weapon state, and Iran, a quasi-nuclear-weapon state. These four countries or organizations may be related to this nuclear explosion.

In the face of questions and suspicions from the outside world, Pakistan and Iran came out to clarify at the first time, showing that they had nothing to do with this matter. Pakistan is better, because she is a nuclear state, and all nuclear warheads are recorded, which is easy to find out. But it's hard to say about Iran.

Many countries and organizations have speculated that Iran has long had the ability to produce nuclear weapons, but for some reason it has not been announced. In this way, it is unknown whether Iran has a nuclear warhead or not. Therefore, it is unknown whether the exploded nuclear warhead in Afghanistan has anything to do with Iran. Iran can't show any evidence that the warhead has nothing to do with itself, unless Iran takes out all its nuclear weapons-related raw materials, equipment and technical materials to the sun, because nuclear weapons-related things are the top secrets of every country, and there must be clues left in and out of any point. As long as you check it carefully, you can always find it out.

But will Iran do this? Obviously impossible! Iran has always shown that Iran develops its nuclear technology only for the peaceful use of nuclear energy, not for the development of nuclear weapons. But in fact? Since the Japanese nuclear weapons base obtained relevant equipment and technical data, Iran has produced several nuclear warheads for experiments. Only after the experiment, we can officially declare that Iran has nuclear weapons. At this critical time, how can Iran expose its secrets to the sun? When there is no nuclear counterattack capability, this kind of behavior will only allow the United States and Israel to launch an immediate military strike, ruining Iran's efforts over the years!

At this moment, Iran's senior management even regretted that Iran should not have left the nuclear warheads obtained in the Japanese nuclear weapons base. Instead of saying anything about it, it made him have no nuclear deterrent at present.

It is understandable for Iran to do so at the beginning. After all, compared with nuclear warheads, some core equipment and key technical data are much simpler to arrive in China and not easy to be found. Those nuclear warheads are hot things. If they are accidentally exposed, they will only get them into trouble, and they can't speak clearly.

But who would have thought that such an unexpected thing suddenly broke out when Iran was about to become a nuclear-weapon state? As collaborators with Li Mo and Omar, the Iranian authorities understand the source of the nuclear warhead, which must have something to do with the Star Organization. Although the equivalent of this nuclear warhead is very small, not any of it was captured from the Japanese nuclear weapons base, but after such a long time, who knows whether the Star Organization has the ability to produce its own nuclear warheads? Because Iran knows that Star has not only obtained more than a dozen nuclear warheads, but also a large number of weapon-grade enriched uranium, and even swept away all the equipment in the nuclear weapons base. With raw materials, equipment and some technical materials, as long as the Star Organization has some scientists in nuclear physics, it can produce its own nuclear warheads in a very short time.

Can Iran say this information? Once Iran exposes the Star Organization, the Star Organization will definitely face pressure from all over the world. At that time, who knows if the young Oriental will be desperate to detonate at least a dozen nuclear warheads in the organization? And Iran will not believe that Star will help Iran protect its nuclear weapons base. At that time, Iran will return to its original point and face military operations by the United States and Israel.

......

In western Afghanistan, there is an inland lake less than 30 kilometers away from the Iranian border. The locals become 'Yeliao Lake'. The origin of the name is said to be that the climate around the lake is very different from that of other areas. At night, the temperature around the lake is always maintained at about 20 degrees, even in winter. This. The former indigenous tribes often gathered by the lake at night to sing and dance, enjoying the blessed land of God.

On the northwest side of 'Yiliao Lake', it is not far from the city of Rashjuwein in western Afghanistan. It is a continuous mountain, which is not as desolate or even gray as in the east. With dense trees, it is a natural paradise for animals and an excellent place to hide.

Unexpectedly, in addition to making animals difficult to be hunted on by hunters, it can also protect some people from being killed by enemies, such as Comrade bin Laden!

Through the road with no traces at all, stepping on the creaking fallen leaves, and crossing several mountains, through the gap between the branches, you can faintly see a small valley by the river. This big river is also called 'Ye Liao River', and the river finally flows into 'Ye Liao Lake'. The water surface is about five or six meters wide, but the depth is not as deep as the waist. Dimly, I saw some figures staring at the water with sharp wooden guns in their hands on the river.

At the narrow mouth of the valley, if someone looks at it carefully, they will be surprised. On both sides here, there will be some slight noises from time to time in the depths of the bushes. If you think it's an animal, it's a big mistake. Because it is a dark sentry responsible for vigilance. Even inside, there are some excavated pits used to store food and rest, and at critical times, they can also be used to cover and fight against the enemy.

The area of the valley is not large, at most of a basketball court. There are straight stone walls on both sides, which are at least more than ten meters. This is a natural shelter. The only entrance to the whole valley is the narrow valley mouth. In other places, not to mention that birds are difficult to cross, at least it is difficult to observe the bottom in the air, because above this natural valley, there will be a layer of mist for most of the year, that is, the sun shines down, giving people the same feeling as a few watts of energy-saving lamps.

On the left side of the valley is a low stone house built by simple carving of bluestone in the river. There are people going in and out from time to time. Although each of these people was carrying a rifle, none of them laughed loudly, which was different from the lively barracks in other places. It seems more like a secret concentration camp.

Comrade Laden lives on the right, and the stone house in the middle, which looks only half the width of an ordinary stone house. This is because the stone wall close to the stone house has been chiseled in to form an artificial depression. At this moment, Comrade bin Laden is discussing things with several of his important assistants. Several 'base' soldiers outside the stone house are being strictly guarded.
