Chapter 423: Furious
On the side of the Pentagon.
In the nuclear bunker deep underground, Redding Fan, who was in charge of intelligence management, was also killed on the spot.
They didn't expect that no matter how many defenses they had, they still couldn't prevent it. After all, no matter how powerful a nuclear bunker is, it still needs an air circulation system and other supporting pipeline facilities inside.
The 5.5-kilogram C4 bomb hit the ceiling right above Redding Fan's head, blowing him into pieces.
The entire Pentagon management is basically screwed.
Only Chief of Staff Edward, who was in California inspecting new naval equipment, escaped.
When Edward heard the news that the Pentagon was wiped out, he was also confused: "Wang Defa? Mark, Redding and the others are dead? Now I am the temporary head of the Pentagon?"
The assistant who conveyed the order nodded and said, "Yes, this is a directive from the Council, requiring you to draw personnel from the Third Fleet in California to reorganize the temporary Pentagon management on the spot."
Huh... Edward took a deep breath: "I understand."
He then immediately strengthened his security.
Before, he was full of confidence in the defense of North America, but now seeing the tragic situation in the Pentagon, he realized that the mainland is just as dangerous.
In fact, it wasn't just Edward who stepped up his own security, the major families on the council also quickly checked the people around them and their homes.
In a hotel in Seattle, Thomas booked the entire hotel.
Inside the hotel's business box.
Thomas's face was extremely gloomy. "Can anyone tell me why there is C4 in my bedroom and private bunker?"
Security chief Reborn looked embarrassed: "Sorry! I have ordered a thorough investigation of this matter."
Thomas is really mad now!
He had just received news that Homo sapiens had suddenly entered a level one combat readiness state, so he immediately hid in the bunker, but then the Pentagon was bombed.
Even Redding Fan and others inside the nuclear bunker could not escape the disaster.
Thomas was terrified and quickly asked people to re-check his own bunker and other daily residences.
You don’t know until you check, and you’ll be shocked when you do.
There was actually a 1.2 kg C4 in the exhaust fan in his bedroom.
Thomas felt sick when he thought about the fact that he would be with this C4 day and night.
However, in the subsequent investigation, it was found that not only his daily residence, but also several private bunkers had a lot of C4 bombs.
After seeing the results of the investigation, Thomas didn't even dare to stay in the hotel owned by his own family, and quickly found a small hotel as a temporary residence.
Now he no longer cared about the bombing of the Pentagon and the sudden war of Homo sapiens.
Because he found that the several nuclear bunkers prepared before were completely useless. After all, the enemy could install C4 inside the nuclear bunker. Do you think the location of this nuclear bunker was exposed?
After spending billions of dollars and taking about a year and a half to build, the seven newly built nuclear shelters suddenly became waste. Thomas did not feel sorry for the money, but was worried about his own life.
Their position has been grasped, and now they are in an extremely passive situation.
Although he now carries the Dead Hand briefcase with him almost everywhere, this is only a last resort.
According to previous estimates, even if a nuclear explosion were to occur between each other, they would do their best to ensure that they and their families could survive.
But judging from the current situation, once the war really starts, their nuclear bunkers will definitely be taken away by the first wave of attacks, which is a result Thomas cannot accept.
Therefore, he did not dare to provoke the intelligent people at all, but had to find a way to find a safe shelter.
The other family leaders on the council were also shocked and terrified, and had to carry dead-hand briefcases with them 24 hours a day to prevent the Homo sapiens from suddenly attacking them.
…
Edwards re -examined the Pentagon's backup database.
At the same time, some of the remaining internal personnel were concentrated in Maine, Texas, and California.
The reason for dispersing to three states is to guard against previous situations and avoid being wiped out in one fell swoop.
Victor, who was transferred from the Black Ship, took over Redding Fan's job. After all, Edward had no other choice now, and this kind of professional intelligence work could only be done by professionals.
Inside the safe house.
"I preliminarily combed through the Pentagon's information over the last period of time and found some possibilities."
Edward crossed his arms and frowned, "Why did the Homo sapiens attack the Pentagon?"
"Intelligence! Maybe the Military Intelligence Department has discovered top-secret intelligence about Homo sapiens." Victor expressed his guess.
Edward suddenly thought of the previous intelligence system reform: "Did the measures promoted before work? Then the Homo sapiens discovered the leak and finally had no choice but to kill the insider?"
Victor nodded. "It is very likely that 72% of the core management personnel of the military intelligence system were killed in this death list. Basically, the entire system is paralyzed."
Hearing this, Edward also reacted: "The three backup databases must be protected. No... we need to add a few more backup databases to prevent them from being destroyed by the enemy."
"I have already gotten Google and Microsoft to work with me to store some of the data in their cloud databases."
"What secret is it that would cause Homo sapiens to react so violently?" Edward racked his brains to think.
Based on his own experience, Victor said: "I speculate that it is very likely the secret of how Homo sapiens became so powerful in such a short period of time."
"If that's the case, then we must know this secret." Edward clenched his fists.
But Victor was worried: "Although a lot of intelligence data has been preserved, after the change to single-line management, many intelligence lines have adopted their own password transmission methods, which are only known by a few people in their line..."
"Damn it!" Edward was extremely annoyed and hammered the wall hard.
"I will try my best to restore the recent intelligence."
"How long will it take?"
"At least half a month."
Edward was somewhat dissatisfied with the half-month deadline: "Can we increase manpower to speed up?"
Victor shook his head. "Intelligence analysis requires professionals . I borrowed the intelligence analysis center of the Black Ship to complete the preliminary restoration of intelligence in about half a month."
Edward said helplessly: "Then I'll leave it to you."
“I also want to know how Homo sapiens could become so powerful in such a short period of time.”
The two talked about some other things, especially expanding the size of the safe house, which Edward was very concerned about.
This is one of the few ways they can deal with leaks at present.
Victor deduced from the discovery of C4 bombs in ventilation ducts and internal corridors in various locations that Homo sapiens might have used micro-robots to bring things little by little into the heavily guarded base.
Therefore, the ventilation ducts and pipe gallery systems must be redesigned to ensure that intelligence is not leaked.
As for revenge against Homo sapiens, just think about it.
Unless America really wants to die together, it really has no way to deal with the Sapiens company.
This is the consequence of military weakness. Even if we want to be tough, we can’t, and can only suffer in silence.
There are undercurrents within America, which is busy guarding against another Homo sapiens attack and investigating recent intelligence.
On the other hand, the Homo sapiens also used all their efforts to delay the discovery of the intelligence on the one hand, and on the other hand, entered a full state of combat readiness.
At this time, the field division also started to make trouble.
