Chapter 533 Use of Nuclear Weapons
At night, the temperature in Afghanistan instantly fell back to a very low level. Since the U.S. and NATO troops entered Afghanistan for the so-called war on terror, they have been adapting to the climate here.
Baglem Air Force Base is currently the most important air base of the United States in Afghanistan. This is the most important base for the United States to use the air force to carry out air strikes against the Taliban. Especially after the lease of the U.S. Air Base in Kazakhstan expired, the role of the Baglem Air Base became more and more important.
Nowadays, after more than five years of renovation, the Baglem Air Force is no less than some of the major U.S. air bases in Europe.
Since the Taliban raided Kandahar and destroyed a U.S. military battalion in Afghanistan, the U.S. government axe has once again increased the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and various advanced weapons have also arrived here frequently. At present, there is an A-10 attack aircraft squadron, an F-16 fighter squadron, an F-15E fighter squadron, and dozens of armed helicopters and helicopters for other purposes at Bagram Air Force Base.
In order to ensure the security of this air base built by the former Soviet Union in the First War in Afghanistan, the 87th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 10th Mountain Division of the U.S. Army in Afghanistan is currently stationed here. In addition, there are 7,000 logistics troops of the Afghan U.S. military and the multinational force.
A month ago, a mysterious air force came to Afghanistan and stationed in Bagram. They are the famous F-22 Raptor fighters.
A total of 8 F-22A Raptor fighters are from the 27th Fighter Squadron of the 1st Fighter Wing at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, USA. Bush's political axe was very angry that Afghanistan's war on terror lasted for five years and still did not eliminate Comrade Laden and the Taliban. Pressure from the American people and other factors forced Bush's axe to find a suitable way to eliminate the Taliban soldiers hidden in the cave.
The F-22A has completed this task. This is also the first battle of the F-22A Raptor, the world's first fourth-generation fighter to go out of the country.
The F-22A, which can carry 8 small precision-guided weapons 'small diameter bombs', has been tested in actual combat and did not disappoint the American political axe. In the mountains of southern Afghanistan, an Taliban nest that has been verified by U.S. intelligence has been accurately cleared.
The results of the F-22A undoubtedly make the U.S. political axe and the U.S. military in Afghanistan very excited. Some people even optimistic that as long as the F-22 and multinational special forces are used, the Taliban, an ally of the terrorist organization, can be completely eliminated on the earth by the beginning of 2008.
On the night of March 8, 2007, this International Women's Day may enable many women around the world who have the ability to advocate freedom to spend the day and receive blessings from fathers, husbands and sons. In the U.S. Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, qualified U.S. soldiers and multinational logistics soldiers are also taking the opportunity to contact close female surnames. The cold temperature outside can't make many hot-hearted young men feel a little uncomfortable at all.
In the dark, three kilometers away from Bagram Air Force Base, is a densely forested highland. The mountainous area of Afghanistan is four-fifths, and most of the country is mountainous. Although Bagram Air Base is located in a relatively flat place, the surrounding area is not open. Fortunately, as the most important air base of the U.S. military in Afghanistan, the defense of Bagram Air Base can be called strict. Various forms of attacks against Afghan resisters have long been prepared. Within ten kilometers around the Bagram Air Force Base, the U.S. military has set up at least three strong defense lines, some of which even have low-altitude air defense weapons to prevent long-range shell attacks on the base by the Taliban.
But tonight, there was a whisper in the dense forest three kilometers away.
"Abdrashi, have you checked it?" A low voice full of depression asked slowly. With the faint help of the dim light in the woods, three figures can be seen under two close trees. The speaker seems to be the one in the middle.
"Captain, don't worry. According to what I have learned before, I have done three checks, and the starting device and line are normal. Closer, the person who can be seen speaking is an Afghan in his thirties. It's just that there is no expression on this person's face, and his eyes are also dead, but if you look carefully, you can see a trace of attachment and relief in the depths of the person's eyes, and even put down a certain obsession.
After more than ten minutes of silence in the woods, the man who began to speak said again, "Abdrahi, you are really ready, you know..." He didn't finish his words, but he made it clear what he meant. This task can be said to be lifeless. There is no chance of survival.
"Captain, stop talking!" Abdrahi suddenly became excited and his voice slightly raised. The captain immediately pricked up his ears warily and listened to the movement around him for a while, and was relieved until it was confirmed that it did not attract the attention of others.
"I'm sorry, captain!" Abdrashi understood how dangerous his behavior just now was. Once exposed, not only the three people could not escape death, but also the leader's task could not be completed, especially the thing in the middle of the three people. Only a few people knew how important it was. And the three of them are one of the insiders.
"My wife is dead, and the child is dead. They all died under the American plane. If it weren't for revenge, I would have died two years ago!" Abdrahi told a story calmly, a story about himself.
It was not until then that the captain and another person who had not spoken knew that the student, who was almost regarded as a mute in the training camp, had an extremely tragic experience.
Taking a deep breath, the captain comforted softly, "Don't worry, we can avenge them in a while and avenge the thousands of compatriots who died at the hands of the Americans!"
Abdrashi and another man's eyes immediately flashed with fanaticism, which was a kind of smoothness that was about to revenge on the enemy and a kind of fanaticism of faith.
At 10 o'clock at night on March 8, with a loud noise. A fire suddenly burst into the sky 15 kilometers south of Charikal, the capital of Parwan Province in eastern Afghanistan. The huge fireball rushed to an altitude of hundreds of meters. Like a thunderous explosion, the Buddha rolled from the sky, and then the tornadoes that were almost impossible to see in the mountains swept into the sky with huge melting stones.
At the moment of the explosion here, hundreds of seismic monitoring stations around the world monitored this violent shock wave at the same time. The monitoring departments of dozens of countries reported this vaguely speculated information to the higher authorities at the same time.
The next morning, major media websites, newspapers and radio stations around the world reported an amazing news on the front page.
"The U.S. military's Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan was attacked by a nuclear bomb, killing at least 15,000 people and injuring 50,000. The capital of Parwan Province in eastern Afghanistan was almost destroyed by the shock wave of a nuclear bomb..."
"Nuclear retaliation of terrorists!"
"The Third World Nuclear War broke out!"
"Warning Record of the Outbreak of Nuclear War: Where should we go?"
Not only did the mainstream media report this amazing news, but even many second-rate and third-rate newspaper media issued their own 'destruction', which made the secretly tense situation in the world surge.
When Li Mo received a message from the intelligence department, his first reaction was that it was a joke. How did the Taliban really launch a nuclear counterattack against the U.S. military? This is something that does not exist at all in later generations.
Thinking of the two kilograms of weapon-grade enriched uranium he gave to Omar, Li Moben dealt with Omar in a perfunctory manner. He was not worried that Omar would make nuclear weapons in the short term, let alone directly on the Americans. Because in Li Mo's idea, the Taliban's power today is not as good as before. In addition, the relationship with al-Qaeda has broken down without the support of the huge force of scientific and technological talents in Comrade Laden. It is absolutely impossible for the Taliban's militants who only know how to fight and kill people to make enriched uranium into a nuclear warhead.
The Iranian authorities and Pakistan, who have good relations with Omar, will not provide assistance to Omar in this regard. After all, once Omar uses nuclear weapons, the United States and other countries will suspect Iran at the first time. At that time, the United States, which will be attacked by nuclear bombs, will not be as scrupulous as it is now. It is very likely to retaliate against Iran's use of force or even direct use of nuclear weapons. The Iranian authorities will not see this, so Li Mo can be sure that Iran will not support the Taliban in this matter.
But the current fact undoubtedly tells Li Mo that Omar really made a nuclear warhead and used it on the head of the Americans.
15,000 people died, more than half of whom were soldiers of the U.S. military and multinational forces. When I think about Li Mo, I feel that my scalp is numb.
This can be said to be the most serious and influential event in the early 21st century. It has a greater impact than the '9.11' incident made by Comrade bin Laden. Because '9.11' only affects a small number of people, but once in this peaceful environment, once nuclear weapons are used in actual combat, it will be too late to brake.
Inside from the response from the outside world and the measures taken by various countries, Li Mo immediately gathered all the senior management of the organization to discuss countermeasures.
This matter seems to be irrelevant, but the senior management of every organization knows it. The nuclear material of this exploded nuclear warhead is provided by the Star Organization. If it is known by the United States, waiting for the consequences of the organization will definitely be the retaliation of the United States and even the whole world.
Once a person without strength breaks a certain rule, there is only one way to perish.
Two hours later, all the senior executives rushed to the conference room of the headquarters of the Kismayo Group. The long distance even landed directly in the open space in front of the group by helicopter.
Everyone who entered the conference room saw the first boss with a gloomy face. He was so scared that he even walked carefully for fear of making a noise.
