Chapter 286 Paper Tiger
The storm in Washington lasted for three days, during which time the Destiny position held its line and did not advance the front into the District of Columbia.
The flight team that bombed Washington has been out of contact for three days, and it is almost certain that all of them have been killed. Except for the early warning aircraft, all the aircraft have not returned.
At noon, the sky was already bright, and the sun was obscured by thin clouds, with only scattered light falling.
Zhang Qiang and Kate were sitting in the command vehicle. Kate was receiving information from various points on the battle line and was busy with strategic command, while Zhang Qiang was waiting for news from Sanhuan.
Sanhuan would rather nuke Washington than allow the Destiny Front to lay a hand on any of its land. Even after the nuke, they probably wouldn't want the Destiny Front to set foot in the District of Columbia.
There cannot be any risk of leaking the secrets of the White House, even if the possibility is less than 0.00000000001 percent.
Even if there were hundreds of meters thick concrete fortifications underground in the White House that was exploded by a ground-penetrating nuclear bomb, they could not withstand the thermal shock generated by the center of the nuclear explosion.
Finally, not long after the storm ended, the Sanhuan contact personnel appeared on the public communication channel.
"This is the CRM aircraft carrier fleet. The storm is over. We hope your troops will not risk going to the nuclear explosion area again, otherwise we will use necessary measures."
As expected, Sanhuan was most worried about the intentions of the Tianming Army. Zhang Qiang, who heard the voice, put on his headphones and smiled silently at Kate.
The radiation protection suits for the Destiny Base have not been delivered yet. Even if the army wants to send people to Washington, DC to search for plane wreckage, it is impossible to use human lives to do so.
Sanhuan's impatience made Zhang Qiang and Kate basically confirm each other's thoughts. They were just afraid! Afraid that Tianming Front would get the secrets of the White House!
But contrary to what they thought, the ground forces of the Destiny Front did not target the White House from the beginning, unless the blue-armored giant corpse appeared and was confirmed to be destroyed by the aviation forces.
Zhang Qiang nodded to Kate, who immediately replied, "We need to enter the Special Zone to find the black box left over from the accident and confirm that everything you said before is true, otherwise we will take strong measures."
"Sir...we..." Electric current and chaotic sounds came from the public frequency band, and it seemed that someone had changed to communicate on the other side of the Sanhuan.
"I am the commander of the CRM aircraft carrier fleet, Rear Admiral Carrier. I advise you not to steal things that do not belong to you under a ridiculous banner! Otherwise, you will be judged by the justice of the New Citizen Republic!"
Is this the real purpose? Zhang Qiang and Kate smiled at each other. Kate even despised the other's impatience in her heart. With this political ability, it is probably the little Kara who became a major general after the disaster.
Kate glanced at Zhang Qiang, then took a deep breath, as if she was excited about what she was going to say next. She was about to cooperate with Zhang Qiang's idea and test the edge of the taboo in this world!
"I'm sorry, but we have to enter the special zone. If you have any concerns, you can drop a few more nuclear bombs to destroy the objects you are worried about."
......
At the same time, two F15 fighter jets from the Destiny Base have arrived in Pennsylvania.
"Paper Tiger No. 1, set off some fireworks for them!"
"Roger, No. 2."
The two Scorpion pilots were communicating with each other in the communication band with a smile on their faces. This was a mission they had never performed before. Although there was a risk of their fighter planes being shot down, they were willing to risk their lives to touch the paper tiger's butt!
As the fighter plane was about to arrive over Philadelphia, several colorful smoke screens emerged from under the fuselage, leaving several obvious colored lines above Philadelphia.
This beautiful scenery made the people in Philadelphia look up and watch, and many people thought that today was a special day.
Unlike ordinary people, the Philadelphia top brass was in chaos when they received the news of the appearance of a strange plane.
Half a minute ago, two Scorpion pilots took the initiative to shout in the public frequency band: "To celebrate the CRM diplomatic team's departure for the Destiny Front, we are sending a gift. Okay, we are leaving, don't worry about us."
.......
In Charlotte Town, Kate had just finished asking the other side to drop more nuclear bombs, and immediately turned her gaze to the communicator next to her.
Seeing the communicator make an OK gesture, Kate breathed a sigh of relief. The plan was still in Chief Zhang's mind.
"You are crazy..." How could a nuclear bomb be launched at will? Major General Carrier was about to start cursing in the channel.
Kate cleared her throat and responded, "Ahem... I suggest you be careful with your words. Also, you can wait two minutes before communicating with us. During this time, you can go and talk to your superiors."
There was silence on Kyrill's end.
After a moment, Carrier changed his tone and reconnected: "Since you have made a request, we agree. We will drop a 200 million ton nuclear bomb on the District of Columbia in ten minutes."
Kate's pupils shrank. Zhang Qiang also heard these words, but he didn't care at all. He just moved his lips slightly and uttered two words: "Withdraw."
Seeing Zhang Qiang was calm, Kate pretended to be calm and responded to Carrier: "That's great, I'm glad that we can reach an agreement. I look forward to your big fireworks, which will be just in time to clean up those monsters."
After saying this, the other party did not respond.
Kate turned off the microphone and impatiently picked up another headset and put it on. She immediately shouted on the military communication band: "All troops evacuate, abandon Line 64! Gather in Charlotte!"
There was no need to continue the Sea of Corpses War. Some people worked for free, and the army withdrew and enjoyed the success. The primary concern now was whether the opponent's nuclear bomb was accurate, and there might even be a probability of "deliberate accidental injury".
The command vehicle started to move, and Kate looked at Zhang Qiang with a worried look on her face: "Will the situation go too far?"
Zhang Qiang did not answer her, but asked: "Did the pilot return?"
Kate immediately asked her men to communicate, and learned that they were on their way back.
Zhang Qiang did not hesitate any longer. He wanted to take the last step of insurance and completely abandon the two pilots who were on the mission!
He said: "Let them go back and continue to cruise around the edge of Philadelphia! Even if they are locked by anti-aircraft missiles, they cannot leave the airspace of the third ring!"
If Sanhuan hadn't planned to launch a nuclear attack on the Tianming position, he would never have shot down two F-15s!
At this point, Kate instantly understood what Zhang Qiang meant and immediately ordered the entire army to retreat.
Regardless of whether CRM will drop a nuclear bomb, the military must avoid the shock wave and radiation contamination caused by a 200 million ton nuclear bomb.
This is a game in which both sides are conducting deterrence, but the Destiny position does not have nuclear bombs, so it can only make the other side think that it has them.
The only thing the Tianming Position can do is to let Sanhuan know that the location of their political center has been exposed. As for whether the Tianming Position has a nuclear bomb, let Sanhuan guess it himself.
Normal people wouldn't dare to gamble with such a devastating weapon!
But sorry, Zhang Qiang has always had some minor mental problems. He forced the top executives of CRM into his gambling game and used his own rules to determine the outcome!
He wants to use false nuclear deterrence to play a game with Sanhuan!
The steel torrent roared out of Charlotte Town. The zombie tide that had been suppressed outside the town regrouped, integrated its density and continued to move forward.
But all that was left for them was the exhaust fumes from the tanks...
A few minutes later, a bright light appeared in the sky over Washington. This time, the fireball was truly comparable to a small sun.
Zhang Qiang stood in the speeding convoy, staring directly at the dazzling light of the nuclear explosion with his naked eyes, but a smile appeared on his face.
The descendants of a paper tiger are still paper tigers.
