Chapter 1129 Backup plan for adding ingredients
Jack’s words made all the big guys look at each other in shock and confusion, even Rosie was quite surprised.
Unexpectedly, in a meeting of this level, he would dare to stand up and defend himself at a critical moment, and talk in front of a group of big shots. Rossi felt very relieved that his own business was closed. The disciple was not accepted in vain.
Perhaps he was worried that his disciple would make mistakes by talking too much, so he quickly continued what he had just said.
“What Jack means is that rather than saying that the death of General Hammer’s wife was the trigger, it would be more accurate to describe it as a countdown. The ignition button had actually been pressed long ago.
The death of Mrs. Hammer means that Hammer has lost his last concern in this world, which is the countdown to zero.
So Jack and I agree that no matter what response we will make, there is only one chance. Once it fails, General Hammer is likely to directly throw away the chips in his hand to prove that he determination.
And I believe that as a soldier, the way for him to prove his determination is definitely not as simple as shooting a few hostages. "
General Hammer only had two chips in hand, 83 hostages and 15 VX poison gas missiles. Since Rossi denied the possibility of shooting the hostages, it seemed that the only possibility left was to shoot them. The two missiles showed determination.
Admiral Al Kleinman lowered his eyelids and sounded as if he was talking to himself.
"If I remember correctly, Frank (Hammer) has repeatedly requested that the Special Military Committee hold hearings to discuss new standards for death in action and to give those soldiers who died in covert operations the honor they deserve.
The last hearing was less than a year ago, with Senator Weaver citing budget constraints. and the relevant provisions of the Confidentiality Act rejected his request
In other words, we had a chance to avoid all of this."
This is probably the only person present who can say this. After speaking, Jack noticed the expression on the face of Director Sinclair, Assistant to the President, as if he was eating shit.
Fortunately, General Al Kleinman just expressed his dissatisfaction a little, and did not really mean to send FBI people out to die, so he quickly entered the next step issue.
"OK, then who can tell me how lethal a VX poison gas missile is? What is its range?"
The person who answered the general's question was a two-star major general sitting near the corner of the table. , “Based on the population density of urban San Francisco Calculating, we estimate the number of casualties to be around sixty to seventy, but the range of the E21 missile is enough to cover the entire San Francisco Bay Area."
"Sixty to seventy? Doesn't it sound that bad? "A certain politician is embarrassing himself again.
"The unit is a thousand. An E21 missile equipped with a VX poison warhead may cause casualties of 70 thousand-person units!" The major general emphasized loudly, "And General Hammer has enough 15 such weapons of mass destruction
By the way, I can remind you, Director Sinclair, the population of the urban area of San Francisco exceeds 800,000, and the population of the entire San Francisco Bay exceeds 7.8 million, the population density is second only to New York City.”
Director Sinclair swallowed dryly and stopped interjecting. This time he seemed to really no longer intend to embarrass himself.
"Does the military have no countermeasures against this nerve agent? I remember Jack mentioned in his action report in South Korea that the military provided an emergency medicine called a phosphorus injection." Jim Womack seemed to have really read Jack's report carefully. This made someone feel flattered and at the same time, he had to whisper some popular science to his boss.
“Sir, you can regard VX as a continuously effective poison. Whether it is phosphorus-resolving injections or first-aid drugs such as atropine and belladonna, they can only Effective on short-term and low-dose poisoning symptoms.
< br>Therefore, the best way to deal with the weapon is to prevent it from being launched. Otherwise, even if it is destroyed on the launcher, it will cause damage to the sea area around Alcatraz Island, including the Golden Gate Bridge and Fisherman's Wharf, which are less than two miles away from the island. Deadly pollution.
Large-scale deployment of incendiary bombs may be useful, but this requires assessment by military experts. "
The director nodded slightly, and couldn't be more satisfied with his agent's performance today.
The major general also nodded slightly to Jack, and then added helpfully, "Simple solidification Petrol bombs can only cause high temperatures of about 1,000 degrees, and are extremely ineffective against VX poisons.
We need to find the storage location of those missiles, release thermite incendiary bombs in a targeted manner, and then evaluate how many waves of napalm bombs need to be continued based on the damage effect until all the poison is consumed. "
Hearing this, Jack's expression froze slightly. You must know that under normal circumstances, if you are not a movie enthusiast, you will usually watch the movie once. If it is particularly good, you may watch it again after a while.< br>
But that usually happened many years later. For example, he had watched "Independence Day" and "True Lies" at least three times in his previous life, with at least three, four, or five years between them.
"Bravely Entering the Deadly Island" is an early work of "Bombshell". It was released in the 1990s. Although he had revisited it once before traveling through time, he could not remember many details. .
Nevertheless, he also roughly remembered that the military's backup plan included the use of thermite incendiary bombs, and that an F/A-18 fighter jet was indeed thrown out at the end. One shot.
But if you follow what the major general said, it is not a matter of using a few F/A-18s now.
Sure enough, I saw General Al Kleiman knocking on the table and asking, "Have the F/A-18 fighter jets prepare thermite incendiary bombs within 36 hours, and configure the B-52H Can a sufficient amount of napalm do it? ”
"No problem, but I strongly recommend this as a backup plan," the major general replied.
"So what we need now is a first choice option, right?" The admiral said and looked at Jack, "Agent Tavole, forget it, I'll call you Jack.
Since you have successfully prevented a similar terrorist attack in Seoul, I wonder if you have the confidence to do it again Cooperate with the military’s special forces to perform the same mission.”
The two missions are completely incomparable. Okay, Jack rolled his eyes secretly, but considering that the boss almost proposed to take Rosie to the hospital before. If he was thrown to Alcatraz Island to be a negotiator, he felt that he would be more confident in taking action himself.
At any rate, in the original drama, a certain biological and chemical weapons expert who sits in an office all year round can complete the task together with an old man who is almost 70, so it should be smoother for him to take action. Probably.
Thinking of a certain biological and chemical weapons expert, Jack turned to look at his boss, "Sir, I think I need a partner."
