Chapter 678 Broken Arrow

"This disaster has consumed too much money, and the work of unblocking the sealed fleet is still in progress! Those Norfolk citizens who cannot go home need to be resettled. We have not even salvaged all the nuclear equipment in Norfolk.

We absolutely can't get the money to develop new weapons now!" The Finance Minister now just wants to resign. Unfortunately, his resignation has been vetoed by Trump many times, and he can only force himself to clean up this mess.

"Paul, go and sort out our ongoing weapons research and development projects! Cut off some projects that are not urgent and spend the funds on this!" Trump can only demolish the east wall to pay for the west wall.

!

"Okay, Paul, don't insist anymore! We can't have another confrontation with China now! Lucia has given us enough headaches! But I promise, when we recover from this accident, we will definitely

The Chinese will fight back hard!" Trump stopped Air Force General Selva from speaking and started a discussion on another important issue, "Now let us discuss how to deal with this serious Broken Arrow accident!

"

Broken Arrow is the second most serious nuclear accident among a series of terms defined by the U.S. Department of Defense to describe nuclear incidents. It refers to an accident that involves nuclear weapons or nuclear weapons components but does not trigger a war. It includes: nuclear explosions, nuclear weapons

Non-nuclear explosions or fires, radioactive contamination, air-dropped nuclear weapons or nuclear weapons components, the movie of the same name starring John Trovolta made this term widely known.

This series of code names also includes: Blunt Sword, Curved Spear, Brown Giant, Empty Quiver, Wandering Spear, and the most serious nuclear flash, etc.; Blunt Sword refers to minor nuclear weapons accidents, and nuclear component accidents refer to accidents that may hinder their deployment.

accident.

The curved spear refers to low-level nuclear weapons accidents that cannot constitute spikes, broken arrows, or nuclear flashes; spikes are nuclear reactor and radioactive accidents and events that do not trigger a nuclear war. If the Fukushima nuclear accident in previous years were placed in the United States,

It falls into this category; an empty quiver is when a nuclear weapon or nuclear weapon parts have been looted, stolen or lost, and a stray spear is similar but more serious, meaning that the nuclear weapon falls into the control of an NGO.

The most terrifying thing is nuclear flash. When this code name appears, mankind is only one step away from extinction. This indicates the possibility or real detonation of nuclear weapons, which has the risk of triggering a nuclear war, including: accidental, unauthorized or unexplainable

nuclear explosion or possible nuclear explosion. Accidental or unauthorized launch of a nuclear missile or nuclear-capable missile.

The flight direction of the missile is to another nuclear country, or may reach another nuclear country. A fighter aircraft carrying a nuclear bomb or a fighter aircraft capable of carrying a nuclear bomb flies without authorization or changes the approved flight plan without authorization, which may result in entering the country.

In the airspace of another nuclear country, a threatening target detected by the missile warning system may trigger a nuclear war.

The accident at the Norfolk Naval Base was attributed to Broken Arrow. Although it will not trigger a nuclear war and lead to the destruction of mankind, it may still wipe Norfolk off the map; in order to solve this hidden danger, the White House has taken steps

It took a long time to prepare, and as time dragged on, the nuclear weapons under the sea in Norfolk became increasingly unsafe; so much so that other major countries and organizations in the world have called on the United States to solve this problem quickly.

"Nuclear weapons are the greatest threat to human peace! They may completely destroy mankind at any time! All nuclear-armed countries in the world should immediately destroy their nuclear weapons!" This is what a spokesperson of a French environmental organization told reporters.

Doesn’t he know that without nuclear weapons, Europe would have been bulldozed by the torrent of steel from the Red Empire! Although nuclear weapons pose a huge threat to human survival, they also avoid direct military conflicts between the world’s major powers.

Because they don't know whether their opponent will launch a nuclear bomb when they lose hope of winning.

"The locations of all nuclear bombs below the water have been determined! They are currently safe, but we cannot guarantee that they will remain so safe! We must take them out and put them back where they should be stored in the near future, or destroy them directly!"

Air Force General Silva also calmed down. China may not necessarily launch a war with the United States, but the threat of nuclear weapons is imminent.

"And those reactors are still emitting deadly rays, and we don't know what impact they will have on nuclear weapons!" Ashton Carter reminded, "At the same time, this also imposes strict requirements on the staff who enter the sea area to salvage nuclear warheads.

The test is like the accident at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. The Neon Man could only find staff who were nearing the end of their lives to enter the radiation area, and we are not optimistic about this either!"

"And this salvage mission is much more difficult than solving the fault of the Fukushima nuclear power plant!" Air Force General Selva added, "The staff need to dive into the water, cut the nuclear submarine and then remove the nuclear weapons from it! This will take a long time

Time and extraordinary physical strength! I think even if this accident can be solved, the money spent on solving the remaining illnesses of these workers after nuclear radiation will be a very terrible number if they can survive!"

"Can't we use large ships to tow the nuclear submarine out of the water, drag it to a location far away from the radiation zone, and then cut it?" Richard Colby asked.

"No! First, the reactors of most nuclear submarines have also leaked to varying degrees! When we transport them there, the radiation will spread there. If we don't want the nuclear radiation to continue to spread, we can only let them stay where they are.

Ground! Secondly, the wreckage of those ships has completely blocked the channel of Norfolk Port, making it impossible for large ships to enter!" Air Force Admiral Selva frowned and replied.

"Although we can use tugboats to gradually remove the underwater debris, those workers will also be affected by nuclear radiation! Millions of tons of steel are not so easy to remove!" The steel buried on the seabed of Norfolk is even larger than the world's.

Most countries produce more crude steel per year!

"If we were to tow away a nuclear submarine with severe nuclear radiation, I'm afraid that endless parades would quickly gather in major cities in the United States! We, the people, would be impeached and removed from office immediately!" Trump added.

"So now we can only salvage where we are!" Air Force General Selva stood up, "I will go back to the Pentagon to make final preparations! Those nuclear weapons can no longer allow us to wait! We must start immediately
