The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

……

silence.

An oppressive silence.

Two people, one dared not speak, the other could not speak at all.

For a moment, the huge office was quiet with only the hum of the air conditioner outlet.

However, Sheldon's ears were still ringing with what the secretary had just said.

Originally, the United States and the European Union were already very unhappy because of the euro issue.

Sheldon relaxed slightly.

After Sheldon gradually regained his composure, the secretary seemed to have a backbone, no longer the lost look he had when he first came in:

Under normal circumstances, six bombs are enough to blow up an ordinary building until nothing is left. Moreover, the prototype of GBU31 is the MK84 aerial bomb. Its charge coefficient is far higher than that of missiles or artillery shells. It rarely leaves complete wreckage after the explosion.

Sheldon has been in the army for forty years and thinks he is used to all kinds of ups and downs, but...

"Is there any very clear evidence?"

But no one answered.

Sheldon gradually became unable to hear the rest of the content.

The conference room was as quiet as Sheldon's office had been a few hours ago.

The whole person fell back on the office chair.

Return to the conference room with three doors.

The call lasted less than a minute, and it looked like it was coming from the White House.

No one answered.

"General...general?"

Although the lights in the office are bright, the eight silver stars on his shoulders seem to have lost their former brightness.

Fu Quanyou nodded:

"The companies that have moved the fastest have already published their articles. Now, even if those European countries want to swallow this dumb loss, they cannot do so."

After saying that, he turned around and left the office quickly.

"The reactions of various relevant countries to this matter have basically been clear."

So he quickly asked:

"Have……"

I have never seen this scene before.jpg

After an unknown amount of time, Sheldon finally felt that his consciousness, which was about to leave his body, returned to his body, and his brain gradually regained control over the muscles in his body.

Fu Youquan read the intelligence documents in his hand as quickly as possible, raised his head again and looked at the people in front of him, his expression became serious:

"This... we don't know yet."

"It was said that the other party's ground search and rescue personnel found three unexploded bombs under the ruins and confirmed..."

"Then if this happens, wouldn't it be..."

"I'll be right away..."

He originally thought it was a call from the White House urging him to take action, but his secretary's voice came from over there.

And what is worthy of being written into intelligence documents is obviously not the public attitude of various countries.

For example, it can be said that the anti-aircraft missile missed its target and then fell down and hit it by chance.

The other party's tone returned to the panic at the beginning:

"Hello, this is the Joint Chiefs of Staff."

The latter continued:

Having said this, he finally put down the first document in his hand.

As soon as the first word came out of my mouth, I found that my throat was as dry as sandpaper, and the sound I made was comparable to scratching a blackboard with my nails.

As for himself, he can probably start summarizing his career directly.

"The only information that can be confirmed so far is that the building was severely damaged. Except for part of the auxiliary building, it almost completely collapsed. The countries involved, such as Britain, France, Germany, and Italy, have not yet figured out the ins and outs of the matter. Only our military intelligence department based it on It is estimated from the time of the explosion that it should be the bomb on the B2..."

Before today, let alone other people, even Chang Haonan had never thought that such a good thing could happen.

However, the moment he stood up, the phone on the table rang again.

"General Sheldon, the news just came back from Europe."

On the Chinese side, they were completely overjoyed.

Sure enough, Fu Quanyou continued:

"First of all, there are some unofficial sources who believe that the explosion may have been caused by anti-aircraft ammunition that had exhausted its fuel."

The secretary's anxious voice kept coming from the receiver, but there was no response...

Everyone's expressions that were full of dissatisfaction just now turned to surprise.

If this news spreads now, there may be a problem with how the Allied operation will end.

But under the same appearance, there is a completely different atmosphere.

"Understood, I'll get ready right away."

Ding Gaoheng sat up straight and was about to say that this was technically a fantasy when Fu Quanyou reached out to stop him.

But mid-sentence, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

For example, the Aviano Air Base mentioned by Fu Quanyou just now provides almost a quarter of the sorties.

Although there are 13 participating countries in Operation Allied Force, in fact most of them are in name only.

"Okay, go right away..."

"Not long ago, this set of photos has been passed on by our side through a special liaison mechanism to several European media that have cooperative relations with us, as well as the leaders of the countries involved."

The secretary shook his head:

He only felt a sense of dizziness...

"Puff-"

The situation didn't seem to be as bad as he had just expected.

Even if there is a conjugated father-son relationship, the impact of this incident is so bad that it is completely unjustifiable not to react.

"In this case……"

After saying this, everyone present, including Chang Haonan, was immediately shocked——

Seeing this, the secretary quickly handed the cup on the table to Sheldon's hand.

"Yes."

Only five or six of them are really useful.

You must know that only one aircraft carrier was dispatched this time, and most of the aircraft were stationed at land airports in surrounding allied countries.

Although for an expert, even dozens of continuous rods or fragmentation warheads of anti-aircraft missiles cannot produce the effect of an aerial bomb when the fuel is exhausted.

As long as there is no direct evidence, it is not difficult to confuse right and wrong.

According to the plan, all aerial activities tonight will give way to stealth bombers, so the bombing can only be carried out by GBU31 of the Spirit of Kansas.

"I'm going to hold an emergency meeting. You go and notify the press department. Temporarily prepare for the hearing by condemning the opponent's inappropriate firing of anti-aircraft fire. However, no one can make any clear statement before receiving clear notification. Do you understand?"

Now the core participants have withdrawn more than half of them, and the British are probably going to do it sooner or later——

I know you, the bald eagle, are shameless, but to be so shameless is really eye-opening.

……

What deserves a response from "each" country is obviously not a "little thing" like B2 being shot down.

The latter drank a few sips of water and finally recovered a little. Although he was still hoarse, his words could be understood by ordinary people.

In fact, for this extremely complicated situation, everyone's immediate external stance was basically based on nonsense literature.

As long as you can find a superficially justifiable reason to silence the public and avoid boiling public dissatisfaction.

He took a few minutes to calm down and got up to go to the meeting.

But it's certainly not that simple inside.

This does not take into account the subsequent series of disputes such as claims and apologies.

After confirming that the secretary's back disappeared from the door, Sheldon bent down to pick up the unburned cigar from the ground, and put it back on the cigar stand with force of composure.

"Yes, I already know..."

But this is not important.

"Therefore, nearly ten European countries have decided to suspend their participation in Allied operations, and this news will be disclosed at a press conference this morning local time."

He paused.

The coat and phone receiver he just took fell to the ground.

The country concerned made harsh words and said it would investigate to the end, while the country not involved expressed its regrets and hoped for world peace.

"But someone took a set of clear photos of the three bombs that did not detonate. The markings on the bombs clearly showed that they were MK84s with satellite guidance components installed, which are GBU31 bombs."

Liu Yaoshun's tone was a bit unbelievable.

Overall, this Allied operation...

I'm afraid I won't be able to sustain it.
