Chapter 287 The real secret
A nuclear bomb with a yield of 200 million tons turned the entire District of Columbia into dust.
Countless plants and trees were carbonized and shattered. The tanks paralyzed in the square were vaporized in the dazzling golden light. The ever-expanding ball of light spread to a diameter of 19 kilometers. The shock wave destroyed all buildings within kilometers.
Even far south of Richmond, Zhang Qiang, who was standing on the roof of the command vehicle, was losing health rapidly.
The light radiation produced by the nuclear bomb made Zhang Qiang, who was exposed outside, quickly realize that something was wrong, and he quickly hid in the car.
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have been severely burned.
"Oh my god, the power of two million tons equivalent is so great?!" Zhang Qiang said to Kate in the command vehicle with a shocked face.
Kate said helplessly: "Of course, so I don't know why you want to..."
Zhang Qiang coughed and interrupted Kate's torture. Of course, he couldn't say that he was just curious.
Being able to witness the power of this most powerful weapon in human history would give Zhang Qiang a sense of accomplishment. However, he did not expect that the aftermath of a million-ton nuclear bomb would have such terrifying energy.
The little sun in the sky of Washington has turned into a towering mushroom cloud. The mushroom head seems to have reached the dome and is still spreading to the surrounding areas.
Zhang Qiang no longer dared to appreciate the scene of the nuclear bomb explosion, but he was sure that the blue-armored giant zombie must have been vaporized, and the mutated zombies in Columbia were all finished!
"Fortunately we evacuated quickly, otherwise the army would have suffered losses." Kate said with lingering fear.
Zhang Qiang nodded, with a look of relief on his face: "Fortunately, these stupid birds were frightened by us."
Kate showed a forced smile on her face. She was still worried about the future. Once something unexpected happened, the Destiny Position would still be easily controlled by Sanhuan.
"Don't be so nervous, Kate. We should celebrate that we have survived another round. The three rings suddenly appeared and we had no way to resist them, but we managed to turn this deadlock around. Relax a little, and we will talk about the rest when we get back."
Zhang Qiang patted Kate on the shoulder and said, Aunt Kate has been under a lot of pressure recently.
......
Far beyond the Washington coastline, a huge aircraft carrier continued to sail overseas.
The USS Carl Vinson, one of the big, beautiful aircraft carriers, now looked like a lonely giant beast, with only one large ship in its escort fleet.
When the disaster broke out, the Carl Vinson's fleet lost a large number of soldiers. Although Carrier, as the captain, escaped the disaster, he had to order the abandonment of other warships occupied by zombies and gathered the remaining soldiers to clean up the aircraft carrier.
He returned home along the route from overseas without contacting the government. The Carl Vinson drifted off the coast for half a year.
It was not until CRM discovered the existence of the Carl Vinson and sent a team to deliver supplies to Carrier that the fleet survived the crisis of lack of food and medicine.
As a result, Carrier surrendered to CRM and his rank was promoted from colonel before the disaster to major general. He asked CRM to provide conditions for the Carl Vinson to dock, but CRM said it was powerless.
Therefore, the Carl Vinson could only continue to sail on the sea, relying on the CRM fleet to transport supplies and mobilize personnel every month.
As a city under the rule of CRM, Portland certainly has a large port. Carrier knew this. He also knew that the reason why CRM rejected him was largely due to political factors.
The Three Rings are called the Three Rings because they are the result of an alliance of three large cities.
Among them, Philadelphia is the real center of power, and almost all of the military and political ministers left by the United States are in Philadelphia.
Portland is a local area for CRM. The post-disaster government’s control over the local area is already weak, and Portland is basically in an autonomous state. Under such circumstances, would the big men in Philadelphia dare to let an aircraft carrier dock in Portland?
Even the fleet that transported supplies to the Carl Vinson was staffed by soldiers transferred from Philadelphia, who were the core team of the Three Rings Army.
Dropping a nuclear bomb on the White House is indeed a stupid move.
Carrier sighed in the command room. The navy soldiers around him were dejected, and some even knelt on the ground.
"Lighthouse! It collapsed!" a soldier screamed in despair.
This year, they mostly sailed at sea. When they occasionally went ashore to rest, they were picked up by the Three Rings Army, and after landing, they were strictly guarded and forbidden to leave the activity area.
Some soldiers wanted to return to their hometowns to find their families and repeatedly requested to leave the team, but were repeatedly rejected.
Today, the country’s political symbol has been destroyed by their own hands, and everyone feels even more desperate about the future.
boom!
One soldier pulled out a pistol and shot himself in the temple.
Blood splattered on the spot, and Kyriel looked behind him in shock. He realized that he couldn't be depressed anymore, otherwise the soldiers would probably mutiny!
"McGee! Medic!" Carrier yelled.
The medic came to check on the fallen soldier and found that the bullet had gone straight into his brain. There was no possibility of saving him.
Kyriel's eyes turned red, and he said to his subordinates painfully: "I understand how you feel, but we must persevere. One day we will be free."
"Freedom? Sir, don't you think it's ironic to say this to us? We are the country's soldiers, and we represent freedom itself." A naval officer said with his fists clenched.
Kerry looked at him in shock.
The navy soldier said to his colleagues: "CRM didn't treat us as heroes at all. We came back, but we are being treated like spies! They also say they represent the national regime?! Bah!"
"Fox! Stop talking! They are indeed the surviving regime, we all know that! Besides..."
Kyriel was interrupted when Fox said angrily, "Besides, we still have to rely on their supplies to survive, right?"
Kyriel nodded dejectedly. As a navy, as the country's only surviving naval fleet, they lived without dignity.
Before dropping the nuclear bomb, Kyriel was scolded by the leader of the Three Rings, as if it was the fleet's fault that the Destiny Front knew about the existence of Philadelphia.
But who knows where the information about the Destiny Front comes from? Kyriel is just a punching bag for the upper echelons.
Whoosh--Chih!!!
Suddenly, the sound of a fighter plane starting up was heard on the deck. Carrier was surprised for a moment, and then his face changed drastically.
He didn't order any fighter planes to take off!
An F35 carrier-based aircraft drove onto the runway without any command from ground crew, and there was no one around to stop it!
"What is he doing! Stop him!" Carrier rushed to the communication station and shouted to the ground crew.
