Chapter 938 This is a declaration of war on us
Kennedy Space Center.
The sudden interruption of the picture made everyone unacceptable. At the same time, the news from the Measurement and Control Network also made people unable to believe this fact.
The radar echo representing one's space shuttle has disappeared! This space shuttle on one's side was destroyed just now in space!
Just as the moment it disappeared, the sound inside the radio was extremely panicked and messy, but almost everyone heard it, and someone was shouting for a laser!
Laser weapons in space! This laser weapon destroys their space shuttle!
Moreover, you can also see a shiny laser in the picture before it finally disappears!
Just above their heads, a beam of laser beam that flew from somewhere destroyed them! The last image captured by the camera was the reflected light on the glass cover of the astronaut Nelson's helmet.
It was definitely done by the Soviets, it must be laser weapons!
The radio carried by astronauts is limited in power and must be forwarded by the space shuttle before it can be received by the Kennedy Space Center. Because of this, with the space shuttle being destroyed, the two astronauts who fell into space had no news.
A huge shock, everyone was shocked.
Yes, it is indeed fear. Although they are not astronauts in space, they can feel this fear.
Any equipment on our side in outer space is dangerous. The Soviets were able to use laser weapons at any time to launch a terrible attack on our side!
Moreover, it can destroy a space shuttle at any time. How abnormal should the power of this laser be? It is at least two megawatts! Such a laser can even penetrate the atmosphere and directly attack the ground!
The Soviets' space weapons finally matured. This time, the destruction of their own space shuttle was a demonstration to them. The entire outer space of the earth was from the Soviets!
In shock, the Kennedy Space Center's alarm was quickly reaching the White House.
The White House executives have not had a good rest these days, so there are many differences on how to carry out the next battle.
With the arrival of the reinforcements, should our side make a concerted effort to completely quell the West German rebellion, or should we keep the status quo for the time being? After all, if our side launches a large-scale attack and fails to deal with the Soviet armor torrent, it is time to come.
World War III is near.
Bush, the Sr., is obviously a faction that strongly advocates fighting.
"We can't hesitate anymore. If we hesitate, what we lose is not only Germany, but the entire Western Europe, and the future of our United States. We must engage in this war. Although our force is not as powerful as before, we will never give up on the use of force! Only war is the most suitable choice for our United States!" Bush, the old man, has been instilling this view over the past few days.
However, it is not easy to convince these top leaders of our side, let alone to convince Congress, which is even more difficult.
"In the past, we felt that we had technical advantages, but now, we have no technical advantages. Our tanks cannot defeat the opponent on the front battlefield at all. Can we regain the lost West German land? If we act now, even if the Soviets do not act, the East and West German armies that have been combined will be enough to face failure again."
"We have air superiority, we have fighter jets, bombers, attack aircraft, and we rely on fighter jets to deal with the Soviet armor torrent! Moreover, in outer space, we also have advantages. We can use our own space shuttles to destroy Soviet navigation satellites and communication satellites. Now, the Soviet army relies too much on navigation satellites. As long as we have the advantage in space, we have hope of victory!" Bush continued.
It’s not that our side is useless, but we also have great advantages!
"Reported, the Kennedy Space Center sent a message that our Challenger spacecraft exploded in outer space." At this moment, an amazing news came.
"What's going on?" Reagan asked. Space adventure is a very dangerous activity. Any minor failure of the space shuttle may cause astronauts to lose their lives. But now, explosions in outer space are too scary, right?
"The Kennedy Space Center analyzed that it was the Soviets' space weapon. They used laser cannons to bombard our space shuttles, causing the space shuttle to explode in space."
Is there anything more appropriate to laser cannon? Hearing this, Reagan's face turned pale.
Above the head, there is a laser cannon!
"This is a declaration of war. This is the Soviets' declaration of war on us. Our space shuttle was launched for the peaceful use of space! However, the Soviets actually used laser cannons to destroy our space shuttle!" Bush's face was excited at this time: "There should be no war in outer space, it should be demilitarized! The Soviets did this to take the initiative to launch a war! Let us tell the whole world that the Third World War is about to begin!"
At this moment, when everyone was extremely angry, Bush was already swearing to fight a world war!
No matter what direction is considered, the Soviets' behavior this time is an active challenge! The Challenger is an American space shuttle and is the property of the United States, and the Soviets actually destroyed it like this! This behavior can be compared with the islanders attacking Pearl Harbor during World War II, and the war is undeclared!
This is the best excuse! The United States needs a war, a complete world war, to change the current situation, whether it can reverse the current situation or the United States will eventually lose. In short, the United States can only be willing to fight this war!
At this moment, Bush was excited.
"Mr. President, hotline, from Moscow." At this moment, the White House Chief of Staff said.
The US-Soviet Hotline! Back then, it was just a remote half-duplex telephone typewriter. Now, after continuous upgrades, it has finally developed into a hotline that can be called directly, with a very confidentiality level.
After the launch of the US-Soviet hotline, the US-Soviet leaders had the opportunity to have direct dialogue. Many times, a war that was about to break out, was finally reached after the exchanges between the US-Soviet leaders, and the war was eliminated invisibly.
And now, when the world war is about to break out, the Soviet leader called and wanted the United States to agree with the status quo? Of course, the United States would not agree!
"Hey, I'm Reagan." Reagan picked up the phone, his tone without any friendly expression and no politician's demeanor.
