German Empire, Berlin.

“This is something we caught a little while ago at the Apollo Interception Base.”

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the German Reich, famous for insisting on carrying a standard rifle even though he was a general, looked at the report and changed his expression.

“This, how many people do you know?”

“The report went up through different routes to the working staff and a few people under me, to the Imperial Palace and the Cabinet.”

“….. Then shut it down, and contact the Air Force right now, and contact the Russian Space Force and ask them to share the radar tracking data.”

“All right.”

As the staff saluted and left, the general touched the submachine gun.

From the hydraulic shock absorber on the butt to the dot sight, the vertical handle and the muzzle, everything was reliable in the past, but now infinitely ominous.

‘Maybe the time will come when I need to borrow this guy’s power again…’

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was armed with a submachine gun. Although it was not needed much after being generalized, he nevertheless continued to keep his alter ego neat.

There was a time when he was not afraid of the pits of hell as long as he had an old friend and alter ego, an APC9 submachine gun, and plenty of Parabellum ammunition in the magazine.

Now… We have come too far from the days when we only had to protect ourselves and complete the duties given by our superiors.

Hawaii, Waikiki Beach.

“Damn, things are worse than expected?”

Originally full of bikini-clad women, the beach was quiet. It was as if even jellyfish had come to see the closed beach.

But that wasn’t the problem.

The problem was that faint gunshots could be heard in the distance.

“Why, are you sad that you can’t see me in a bikini?”

“That’s it, you can wear it tonight, right now, that’s not the problem, the problem is that the whole of Hawaii is paralyzed right now.”

“Hawaii is home to half the US Navy, there are a few ground forces, and most of them are rapid-response units, so they are not heavily armed, but if you do, you will be able to control local residents if you do. …”

I hid my body between shadows and shadows, and looked up at the CCTV. Ogas blocked the eyes of CCTV and drones, but the only things they couldn’t stop were the dog’s nose and human eyes and ears.

“Why did you come here just to be on Mars…”

“SSBNs are docked in Pearl Harbor, the US Navy has a total of eight SSBNs, half of which are here.”

A submarine carrying a large and beautiful SLBM loaded with so many large and beautiful nuclear warheads is of course large and beautiful.

The US Navy’s California-class SSBN is equipped with 36 nuclear missiles carrying eight nuclear warheads. A total of 288 shots.

And each one of them boasts tremendous power. I’m not joking, that a single ship could wipe out Russia and all of its allies in one blow.

Even considering that they would be intercepted in the middle, a total of eight ships were built to move in four shifts, enough to fire only two successfully.

“But there is the biggest fundamental problem.”

“What?”

“It is an integrated control system, a kind of in-ship network system, which was supplied by Cooper Resources. A backdoor has been planted in the hardware unit, and Ogas can take control of the ship by using it when the SSBN communicates with the ground using the communication buoy. Even in a nuclear war situation, there is basically a procedure to send a target by floating a communication buoy, and it is possible to seize it by targeting that time. Knowing that, the Russian government is not concerned about the US nuclear weapons.”

“crazy.”

If that is true, it was no different from the meaning that the U.S. MAD operational capability had long since become an illusion.

“Things flying into space can be intercepted with ASATs and attack satellites, cruise missiles can also be caught on the ocean, and the only threat is the SSBN, which has been on our palms from the beginning, so there is no reason to be nervous, the problem is that There is a ship with the integrated control system turned off. it is two Besides, the degausser acts as a Faraday cage, so the other two scale integrated control systems cannot be accessed.”

“Did you release it for maintenance?”

“Yes, Florida and Texas. If both of them use up all their loaded missiles, they’ll still have enough to destroy Russia and all of its allies. I don’t know what the US government will do if the rebels take over Hawaii and the SSBN falls into their hands.”

“I mean, with Spetsnaz, why are we moving?”

“The Spetsnaz deployment was denied, so now a stealth drone is hovering around here with a nuclear warhead. If they do, they will drop them and sink all four SSBNs, or at least make them irradiated with radiation.”

“We’re not going to go there. We have to move. Ugh, this bastard’s ogas, you’re a vicious stepdaughter who takes care of your dad and stepmom, right?”

“Well… I admit that I am a father, but I don’t think I will admit that you are a stepmother. And… Hey, can I talk about this?”

As I looked at one of the CCTV cameras and spoke, a letter appeared on a nearby electronic board.

– Do it yourself

“Whether to do it or not, I do it anyway, it seems that the hardliners in that government have done it.”

“Do hardliners use their hands?”

“It’s a less delicate way to keep a stealth drone with nuclear weapons on standby than sending a Spetsnaz, and to put it simply, there are at least several dozen times more people killed by knives than all those killed by nuclear weapons from the 20th century to the present, right? But why did the machete, which cuts off a person’s neck to limbs, in the Confederation of Independent States, sold intact and nuclear weapons became a thing that should never be used?”

“You sound bloody, isn’t it useful in real life? A knife can even cook.”

“Nuclear is also useful, what are we riding to and from space right now?”

“Oh, is that so?”

“It’s the difference between CAS and carpet bombing, the difference between shooting and hitting with a laser and making an entire city swampy, or more simply, the difference between knowing what you’re shooting and shooting without knowing what you’re shooting?”

“I see what you mean, there’s a difference between putting sugar cubes and two chunks into your coffee and adding powdered sugar while adjusting the amount with a teaspoon, isn’t it?”

“It is a common feature of weapons of mass destruction, it blows up the entire city, kills everyone who just breathes it in, and if it’s bad luck if it’s not around, it infects them and makes them die. The difference between the two is whether it only blows the target or how big is the risk of blowing up the non-target thing? In that respect, even if the probability of the opponent’s successful counterattack converges to zero, it is different from using Spetsnaz to destroy the missile guidance system and turning four submarines into radiation tubes with nuclear air bombs. At the very least, firing a conventional missile can break the Faraday cage and cause the person to lose their ability to submerge, but why would it have to be equipped with nuclear weapons?”

“Unlike conventional attacks or special forces strikes, where there is room for evasion by stalking or doing anything, nuclear attack cannot stop intervening the moment it strikes.

“And if you do, your stomach will explode. At least the one who inherited my blood won’t be an idiot who doesn’t know it.”

“Your kid would be, but there are some hawks who are a bit megalomaniac.”

It was a remark that reminded me of someone from a previous life.

“But if you knew that, you wouldn’t be ordering a nuclear attack anyway, would you?”

“If there were other options, yes. But what if the nuclear submarine base is on the verge of being taken over by the mob, and there are no special forces nearby that can arrive on time, and the only thing that is currently installed on the nearest aircraft is a nuclear weapon? In the end, would that be the case even if we were thrown into a situation where we had to drop it or not?”

“If you are a person who refuses to use Spetsnaz and coordinates the deployment of UAVs and nuclear weapons…”

“Warheads classified as tactical nuclear do not need to be approved by the Kremlin. The minimum is 4 growth groups. And if you think about faction fights, aren’t the candidates compressed? Well, Ogas gave me the answer.”

There was silence for a few seconds.

“When Ogas is locked at the highest level, does that mean that the leadership is also sympathizing with it?”

“No, the lockdown of Ogas is the whole of the data classified as the core of the overall situation of the current situation in the United States and the countermeasures against it.

There was silence for a while, and both of us said the right answer at the same time.

“Defense Minister Vladimir Vladimirovich.”

“Prime Minister Vladimir Alexandrovich is not one to agree with such a hard line. If the imperial family is excluded from the candidate group, there is only one strong candidate. Even with other candidates, there are two or three.”

“Is that person instigating war?”

“I don’t know if he’s just a war fanatic, or if he’s trying to get something out of it, or if he really thinks he can play the ball there and even serve as prime minister.

“In many ways, I was lucky enough to become prime minister, and the citizens also felt a strong disillusionment with the existing political forces. Occupying is not a dream, is it something like that?”

“After all, Ogas does all internal affairs, right?”

“That’s right, the current election in Russia means nothing more than a popularity vote. Either way, he’s a human being that shouldn’t be left alone, and Ogas is on our side. The first thing to do is to stop that human being’s tampering.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Once you destroy the Faraday cage, two of them can be controlled and disabled by Ogas, and the other two have to destroy the bridge’s missile control system.”

“how?”

“Virus intrusion cannot be used because the system is mechanically separated, so it must be physically broken. Good things will come.”

“What? hammer? Paru?”

“It’s time.”

I’ll find out soon enough, I didn’t have to answer, I looked up at the sky.

Then, a small drone with optical camouflage flew from afar. The box hanging below did not have optical camouflage, so it looked as if only one box was floating around.

The box was dropped as it was, and it fell exactly a few steps before the two of us.

“Isn’t it broken?”

“It must have been full of cushioning material, this one.”

“This……”

“It is a product that emits a high-voltage current and burns the circuit inside the electronic device, and it can be considered as a portable contact-attack EMP.”

“It’s supposed to have a jack.”

“I don’t think nuclear submarines use ports.”
