Chapter 272: On the verge of breaking out
22 years, April 26th.
America.
New York.
Inside the UN General Assembly headquarters building.
The spokespersons of various forces were sitting upright in their seats, and the reporters and photographers at the scene kept pressing the shutter.
BBC special correspondent Robert joked to Mirror reporter Catherine: "We are about to witness history."
"What do you think today's meeting will be about?" Catherine asked curiously while adjusting the recorder.
"Kyiv conflict? Assam peace talks?" Robert shrugged.
Suddenly the cameraman next to him reminded: "Here it comes."
Robert and Catherine quickly concentrated their attention and focused their gaze on the core circle of seats, especially the spokespersons of the five great good men.
Ten minutes later, when the live broadcast camera was debugged and the meeting officially began, the host read out a lot of formal words from the script.
The first person to speak was Steve, the spokesperson for America, a middle-aged Mediterranean man wearing glasses.
"Everyone, this emergency meeting is held today mainly to discuss a matter related to world peace."
He glanced at everyone and continued, "Our intelligence personnel found some intelligence in Hongsavadi. Based on this intelligence, it can be inferred that Hongsavadi is developing weapons of mass destruction in the near future."
As soon as the words fell.
Suddenly the whole venue was in an uproar.
Of course, the spokespersons of many forces remained silent or had strange expressions.
After all, the laundry detergent back then was so impressive that one can't help but wonder whether America is planning to repeat the same trick again.
Soon many people turned their eyes to a corner.
That was the seat where Hongsavadi's spokesperson Wu Wei sat.
Steve stared at Wu Wei with an aggressive look and asked sternly, "Mr. Wu Wei, may I ask what explanation Hongsavadi has for this?"
The reaction was different from what everyone imagined.
Wu Wei looked calm and adjusted the microphone. He asked nonchalantly, "What do you want me to explain, Mr. Steve?"
"Please be careful with your words. I am asking whether Hongsavadi has developed weapons of mass destruction?" Steve thought to himself: 'Just deny it! Then I will...'
"So that's what's going on? We are indeed developing weapons of mass destruction. What's the problem?"
"Don't think so..." Steve reacted halfway through his words. He raised his glasses and said, "What did you say?"
Wu Wei was too lazy to repeat himself: "Mr. Steve has some problems with his ears. I suggest you go see a doctor."
Steve's assistant quickly repeated it in his ear, and Steve's eyes widened and he looked at Wu Wei in disbelief.
At this time, the spokesperson, reporters, and viewers in front of the TV were all stunned by Wu Wei's remarks.
In the press box.
Robert opened his mouth wide: "Is he crazy? Or has he been bribed?"
"Big news! Hurry..." Catherine's eyes lit up and her fingers tapped rapidly on the laptop keyboard. She quickly notified the headquarters and prepared for an emergency broadcast.
The scene became chaotic and many people were whispering.
Steve reacted and shouted without caring what Wu Wei was thinking:
"Honsavadi's actions seriously violate international law and are intended to undermine world peace. I propose that America take the lead in taking full control of it until the weapons research and development facilities of Honsavadi are cleared. The vote will begin now."
Obviously, Hong Shawadi's confession disrupted the arrangements of all forces.
Steve had already prepared a speech and planned to engage in a heated debate with other forces for several hours, but he did not expect things to start this way.
"Mr. Steve, you'd better make sure whether you are qualified to make such a decision. I don't want to see you go insane!" Wu Wei said, and looked at his watch again.
…
at the same time.
Strait of Malacca.
It was still a moonless night.
In the waterways around Star Island.
More than a dozen large container ships were approaching Sing Tao Port from both sides of the Strait of Malacca.
After arriving at the designated location, thousands of containers on the container ship began to dump on both sides.
As the containers fell into the sea, they automatically cracked and the contents inside were soaked in the sea water. A large number of genetically modified bacteria spread, and the steel skeletons and quick-setting cement hidden inside the containers quickly formed artificial reefs on the seabed.
The waterway of the Strait of Malacca near Sing Island is only 35 to 70 kilometers wide and about 25 meters deep.
To have tens of thousands of specially made containers thrown down at this depth is simply despairing.
Finally, in the wheelhouses of these old container ships, the new human crew members in charge of driving quickly opened the ships' sea valves and sank the ships and the quick-setting cement stored inside into the main channels.
17 container ships, 24,000 containers, fast-setting cement, and genetically modified bacteria to assist in construction blocked the Strait of Malacca at both ends in less than an hour.
The ships in Sing Tao Port and Changi Base will not be able to leave in the short term.
The US Seventh Fleet, which was at the Changi base, was blocked inside.
At this time, the air raid alarm had sounded inside the Changi base.
Ohm, commander of the Seventh Fleet , and Sullivan, head of the Changi base, were both devastated when they heard the news.
"Fuck!" Ohm slammed the table in anger.
Sullivan's face was extremely dark: "Are the Luzon people going to declare war on us?"
The 17 container ships that sank just now were blocking all the shipping lanes of the Strait of Malacca on both sides of Sing Island.
The final clear warning issued by the other party indicated that several container ships were transporting a large number of mines. Now that the ships have sunk, the mines may also be scattered in the waterways.
What does this mean?
This is a naked threat.
Ohm clenched his fists and said, "Sullivan, immediately organize people to clear a channel for me."
"This..." Sullivan was in a dilemma at this moment, so he could only bite the bullet and agree: "I'll try my best."
Ohm had obviously seen the recklessness of the Luzon side, and he quickly put the Seventh Fleet into combat status.
At the same time, he immediately contacted the Third Fleet stationed at the Yokosuka base and asked it to immediately head south to the Luzon Islands and be prepared to attack Luzon at any time.
Ohm did not stop, and contacted the Fifth Fleet which was near the Maldives Islands at that time, asking the other side to prepare for battle.
The current situation made even the veteran Ohm feel difficult and nervous.
Previously they only planned to attack Honsawadi, but now they are about to fight with Luzon first. The situation is obviously getting out of control.
Ohm did not dare to act on his own, so he quickly reported to the Pentagon and let the Pentagon make the decision.
Inside the Pentagon in North America.
They were caught off guard by the sudden situation and hurriedly convened senior management for an emergency meeting.
However, before one wave of troubles subsides, another wave of troubles arises.
Near the Maldives Islands in the Ceylon Ocean.
Vice Admiral William, commander of the Fifth Fleet, had just received a warning when he discovered that more than a dozen supersonic fighter jets appeared in the southeast direction less than 87 kilometers away from the fleet.
William roared and yelled: "Air defense department prepare for battle, carrier-based aircraft take off immediately to intercept, and broadcast the code, telling the other side to get out of here immediately, otherwise I will declare war on America."
"Also inform the pilots, if the other side does not leave, immediately shoot down these flies for me."
"Yes..."
